Shemson
04.18.16 | Thanks OD I've heard it's the best site. Would you recommend using one site exclusively to draw everyone into one place or do you think it's better to hit the likes of Soundcloud and YouTube too so the music is more visible all over? |
SCREAM!
04.18.16 | My bad

theNateman
04.18.16 | Dude where's the Saosin hype??
Also step 3: tour like mad and build up hype
Step 4: cash in on mad hype |
Shemson
04.18.16 | Yeah sadly it's just me performing everything so no live shows or touring for now. I do miss it though.
Thanks OD I think that's what I'll do unless anyone else has any ideas in not aware of. |
SCREAM!
04.18.16 | Did you make sure to follow step 1 though |
Shemson
04.18.16 | Haha yeah man that's the hardest part! I think the music is good but then it's my creation so of course I do. Time will tell if anyone else does too, we'll see! |
TheTripP
04.18.16 | I'll be waiting to hear that Deaf Tony and the Deft Ones single Shemson! |
Shemson
04.18.16 | Haha man, I need to change my name before release! I did consider that Ogre is a cool name for an album in its own right but nahhhh |
Spacesh1p
04.18.16 | My Shem, Your Son |
Shemson
04.18.16 | You brought me your space
I brought you my ship |
Spacesh1p
04.18.16 | That's a full sentence, you're in emo band territory now. |
Shemson
04.18.16 | The world is a beautiful space and I am not afraid to ship? |
Spacesh1p
04.18.16 | You could do much, much worse. |
Spacesh1p
04.18.16 | Like if you went with SHMSN for example, that would bother my poor little soul. |
Shemson
04.18.16 | I think when I hype my single it should be with SHMSN NW SNGL! LSTN NW! |
Spacesh1p
04.18.16 | Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Vowel) |
TheTripP
04.18.16 | Shem the Son |
Shemson
04.18.16 | Oh nice yeah I should definitely verb the noun, that'll get the kids hype about me |
TheTripP
04.18.16 | Your album cover can be of a girls bellybutton with a sun tattoo around it, want me to be your manager? |
Shemson
04.18.16 | Can the band name be in indecipherable scratchy writing? |
Spacesh1p
04.18.16 | We could go with a meta angle and just call the album "Hype"
Then, my friend, you have created hype. |
Shemson
04.18.16 | Haha nice one mate, if only I wasn't so set on the album title already I would literally create hype. |
Spacesh1p
04.18.16 | When you make it big, don't forget about those of us that jestingly suggested names for your seminal works in the metal genre. |
TheTripP
04.18.16 | If the band name logo doesn't look like a bunch of branches thrown in a pile I won't listen to it... |
Shemson
04.18.16 | Don't worry guys I'll do a 'thank you' section in the liner notes of the album and your names will be there...
Only I'll be using the scattered branches don't for that too so you won't know it. |
TheTripP
04.18.16 | Ha! I wouldn't want it any other way |

Step 3: Get mad hype

Shemson
04.18.16 | To paraphrase- if a riff is released into the woods but no one is around to hear it, is there a hype?
That was the question really, and bandcamp seems to be the answer. |
ScuroFantasma
04.18.16 | "influenced by older Mastodon amongst others"
Hype enough for me
|
Shemson
04.19.16 | Sweet! I don't sing like them though if that's what you're looking for! My cleans are cleaner and my harshes are harsher if that makes sense? |
SCREAM!
04.19.16 | but are your riffs riffier though |
Shemson
04.19.16 | My riffs are pretty damn riffy man but I'm not the kinda guy who's gonna come on here and say I've got riffier riffs than old school Mastodon! |
Aftertheascension
04.19.16 | Dude where's the Saosin hype??[2] |
SCREAM!
04.19.16 | "My riffs are pretty damn riffy man but I'm not the kinda guy who's gonna come on here and say I've got riffier riffs than old school Mastodon! "
That was a trick question and you passed.
When this thing dropping already?? |
Shemson
04.19.16 | Haha nice! Should be able to put out the first single Friday or Saturday but I need to sort some kind of art first |
TheTripP
04.19.16 | Your album cover can be of a girls bellybutton with a sun tattoo around it [2] |

04.19.16 | I've been getting into Photography as a hobby so I mean you could take a look and see if anything fits your theme (doubt it but might as well offer)

Shemson
04.19.16 | Cool man, I'll ask around at work see if any of the girls are up for it |
Shemson
04.19.16 | Oh thanks Scream man that's really kind, will check on my next proper break! |
Spacesh1p
04.19.16 | I know fuck all about photography as an art form but I find your photos to be aesthetically pleasing. |
Shemson
04.19.16 | Hey Scream man I like your stuff too! I have a friend who is trying to make something for me but if I have to let them down gently I may well be in touch, some of your black and white stuff may suit the vibe. |

Shemson
04.19.16 | I like the fact that this thread has actually generated hype by having at least one person asking when the track's coming out. Mega hype! |
SCREAM!
04.19.16 | "I know fuck all about photography as an art form but I find your photos to be aesthetically pleasing."
That's what it comes down to in the end. I picked up the hobby less than a year ago so I won't pretend to be somekind of pro with a deeper understanding of things. I've just been reading up on techniques and gear and going out regularly trying to take pictures I like and maybe look at things from a different angle than I normally would. Still got a lot to learn. I appreciate the kind words though guys! |
Shemson
04.19.16 | You should definitely keep it up man, it seems like you have a lot of awesome scenery where you live too! Thread is now photo-hype! |
SCREAM!
04.19.16 | Nah man, your thread your hype! Just wanted to throw the offer out there in case you're really stuck for artwork! |
TheTripP
04.19.16 | Scream killer photography man! Some are very pleasing to look at |
