Progressive/Hardcore band what do you think?

[HunterKeys]

I'm in highschool, and me and a bunch of friends got together and made a band and have been writing and recording for the past two months or so.

It's a very good start for a highschool band, reminds me a lot of early From Autumn To Ashes (but not to the extent where I would say 'this is just FATA'), which is definitely a good thing in my book. I think the guitars could use a little less octave based riffs and some more crunch, but with a little practise and polishing your sound off, I mean, it's definitely something I could get into. I like the use of keyboards, too, that's something not a lot of bands in the genre are doing. Also, try and get as close to studio perfect production on your next demo, it will help so much in terms of getting your name out there. Some great bands get dismissed by recording badly produced demo CDs.

Dude he's in highschool. He's got one post here. He's in a band, so he's probably ****ing chicks. He doesn't care.

Nobody check out the bands hismajestythepope listed btw, they both suck

If you want what elitist ****s consider "real screamo" which isn't some **** band screaming in japanese, check out loma prieta. http://myspace.com/lomaprieta

Not bad for two months of work together. It has good musical composition and good dynamics, which is rare for most bands of this genre. There are some balance issues. When the whole band drops out after the rhythmic part and only the bass is playing, the bass should be much louder since it is the focal piece at that point. Other than that, pretty cool stuff.
