Well, first of all, your singer needs a lot of work. I can barely hear him, and he gets off-key a lot in the song.

I didn't really find anything too interesting instrumental-wise, either. I didn't like any of the riffs, and the drums we pretty repeatative.

It's very radio rock-ish. Not really my thing.

How long have you guys been making music?

[Nicko_Shmicko]

hmm. Your singer is terrible. The riffs are boring. Drummer sounds very ameture. Theres some things you could work on yeah?

[711]

It was alright i suppose.. work on it. The song kind of seemed all over the place to me, i dont know... the singing is not very good. But you guys have potential, keep working, and maybe spend a little more time working on the song.

[711]

What do you play?

[timmy2422]

I play drums in it, i have been drumming for just on 2 years

[Magnus55]

Your singer is very pitchy in some places. The music is kind of... meh. To be honest your band sounds like a watered down version of Godsmack with out of tune monotone vocals. How old are you guys? And how long have you been playing?

Despite these comments, I think this is pretty cool. The vocals could use some work, but whose couldn't. I can see this stuff sounding better live than on cd though. However, I would suggest that the vocalist puts a bit more passion in the heavier parts of the songs. You remind me of nirvana.

Myspace.com/skunkedpunk if you would be so kind

[timmy2422]

Thanks for the comments. Yea most people that post up here saying have a look at my band, their vocalist needs alot of work.
Wow thats the 2nd time today people have said we sound like nirvana :thumb: Could be good i spose.

I didn't mind this at all, not really my prefered style, but i thought you were good. Sorry to your vocalist if he reads this but he let you down on this. I could see what style he was trying to achieve with it, a kind of layed back grungy attitude, and at some point it threatened to work well, but he was out of key. One of the problems with it was that even though this style of singing might sound good sometimes, it needs to be changed throughout the sections, when it's used for a softer section and then you go to a heavier section, and the voice doesn't change at all, it makes it seem emotionless, as though the music is progressing without the vocals.

I wouldn't say the singer was bad, just if he varies his voice, get more agressive when the music does, and try to stay in key more (which i find that singers get better at that in time), it could be good.

(Just a side note, i really dislike your site, it's confusing)

[The_Funny_Guy]

yah the singer isnt as bad as some people put it here, jus needs to put some more feel into the music, the guitars seem to be in good shape, as for the drumming, drummer to drummer, ive been playing for 5 yrs., try to mix it up more than it is, cause it does seem amateur, experiment with ur songs and utilize more of your set, how many pieces is your set?

[711]

(Just a side note, i really dislike your site, it's confusing)

I agree, piczo is definately not great for band sites. Try purevolume if you havent already.

[benjiman1111]

I hate to say it, but as a fellow drummer I noticed that your drumming was off. If you listen to the beginning before you go hard and then the part just after the little snare march thing,on the first song, it is definantly like 2 beats longer then it should. Once you start practicing more you will realize it. When ever my band makes a recording we always listen to it and i always find mistakes that I fix the next time. Just keep it in mind. Overall pretty good, you guys have potential.

[benjiman1111]

Man the drumming was off. The fills were miss timed and longer then they should have been. You guys have potential just need to practice a little more.

[Philk]

Drums were WAY too loud in solemn of something. Your vocalist sucks. Is this a joke?

[AMTA]

Just listened to "Nevers End". This one is better, but it sounds like your vocalist is whispering...tell him to BE LOUD. He's still out of key a lot, but it's not as bad on this one. Nice to hear a solo in there...

I'm listening to "Not One Less" right now...I'll type as I think. Intro bit isn't too bad, until the vocals come in....holy **** that's really bad. Again I can't really find anything interesting in the music. For drumming for two years, you aren't horrible or anything, but you could try to be more creative with your beats.

You guys have potential, though I personally don't like the style of music.

[FarFromElysium]

you guys are doing the grunge thing real nice. keep it up :-)

[Cool Drummer Guy]

Not terrible, but not great either. The singing was really bad, I hate to say. It's almost as if he's not singing at all, but just talking through the songs. He needs to open up more, be louder and actually sing, not talk the lyrics. The guitar riffs didn't stand out too much, nothing fancy it was just kept basic for the most part. The solo in "Never End" was actually pretty good though. I wasn't too fond of "Solemn Side of Me" only because I don't really like songs that start heavy, and then go into something real soft. The drum beats weren't too bad, they matched the riff but there were a few things I would have don't differently. I usually like to add a lot of doubles between toms when I play, but that's just me. So like I said, wasn't terrible but wasn't great either. About mid way. The only advice I can give ... is maybe try spicing things up a bit, and definitely get the singer to be a little more open.

[K'Ching]

The vocals are horrible. The drummer seems to be pushing his abilities at times. You should emphasize more on playing tight than playing fast fills. The timing was way off at times. Guitar was generally good. Bass was okay, maybe a little boring at times. I liked the songs, good melodies and decent arrangements. Especially Nevers End had a lot of potential if the vocals were better.

[711]

Yeah the guitar was the best part, but it needs plenty of work.

[timmy2422]

Thanks for those positive comments also some of the negative ones that we can use to help us. We have only been a band for 2 months and these songs were only recorded at our guitarist' house so quality is not the best. Thanks guys
