My Bands 5 song EP ====> 99% completed.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/4/stilllifetorontomusic.htm

We have just finished doing the pre-final mixes to our 5 song EP, haven't thought of a name for the CD yet though, maybe just "Still Life" or "The Life Still." There's still maybe an hour more of mixing to do... but its pretty much done.

Here are 3 of the songs, I think the vocals in at certain parts of Broken Man and Self Portrait need to be turned up, but other than that I really like how it's turned out.

(for those of you that have already heard some of my mp3s give it another listen... the remixes were just done last night and sound a LOT better)

www.still4life.com <=== band website currently under construction.

Sounds professional. I wouldn't buy your cd, or download it for free for that, but I have to say it sounds very good for a canadian.

Thanks man, I really wish the music scene down here would get a little better... but it seems to be with a few bands exploding big ie. sum41, billy talent, 3 days grace

Come to my bands next show october 29th and the reverb

or

October 31rst (Halloween) at the opera house .

One last thing, the drummer knows what he's doing as well, notably starting at about 2:15 when the toms start leading the song. I'm impressed.
I'm actualy rythmn guitar and vocals thanks for your feedback. I'll tell my drummer that, he killed himself recording this demo and playing to the metrinome.

EDIT: fenwood; how does being from Canada effect the quality of the music ?

Wow! You guys are good!
The production and mix could use a bit of tweaking, (more reverb on the vocals)
But overall really good.
The song structure & arrangment were awesome!
The playing was really top notch, too!
You guys should be on the radio!

Not bad, very professionally done.

It however sounds somewhat fabricated (you sound like another Canadian sellout POP band), and the overlapping voices get f'ing annoying... sorta like "Brand New" band. Don't take this the wrong way though, its only my opinion. Its very good, nevertheless - and ****, you can sing.

wow, there is not a single negative thing i can say about this.
i'm loving the vocals though. you have a very good voice!
if i lived in canada i'd go and see you, but it would be quite a drive from california .

it would be greatly appreciated if you could critique my latest song: http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=252703

Very professional, and very good vocals. The guitar tones are great too.

However, I hate the style of music. It sounds like every other generic emo/rock/'indie' band ever, and seems like a huge step back from your 'Farfetched Photo' song etc (apologies if that wasn't you, I have a bad memory). You deserve to do well, but there's no way I'd buy any of your bands CDs if you sounded like that.

If you have any kiddies <13, leave them at home. If you yourself are a kiddie, better stay away from this bloke as well.

come to our show at the opera house on the 31rst (halloween) doors open at 6pm.

we also got a show at the reverb on the 29th doors open at 7. Methinks, the shows are all ages so I don't think you need ID anyway.
