05.01.17 | this sounds great dude |

05.01.17 | wwf - thanks dude. The album is a big departure from the Pop-Punk/Emo shit we used to do. Some of the songs on this record are actually kinda heavy and some are experimental and weird and some are straight up Indie Rock and Post-Rock flavored. We were hoping the new sounds would pay off because that's what we really wanted to create. |

05.02.17 | It sounds like you put a lot of time and effort into this. I don't know if you're interested in any sort of criticism, but your Bandcamp page could use a bit of a facelift. The music sounds much more professional than what your page represents aesthetically, so just a thought. Good work either way. |

05.02.17 | Cool track. The uptick in aggression for the outro was a nice touch.
Oh look, I put an EP together myself, weird: https://spieglass.bandcamp.com/ |

05.02.17 | SitruK6 - thank you |
Stereochrome1
05.02.17 | pacifist - Thank you very much. I think the new album is far better than anything we've done in the past. Another track will be shared before the release of the record. |
Stereochrome1
05.02.17 | DungeonBoy - Thanks man, and yes good criticism. What would you change in regards to the Bandcamp?
Josh D. - thanks dude. There's some songs on the record that are way aggressive and one song that borders on Post-Metal |

05.02.17 | Generally, you can't go wrong with having the window color, link color, text color, all match the palette of the album artwork, but this obviously becomes more of a challenge with multiple albums. I'd honestly ditch the maroon background for something else, and choose a less bright text. Your banner also looks unintentionally stretched and blurry. Maybe play around with some more interesting fonts and possibly some drop shadows. A great easy online photo editor for all of this is the Pixlr web app.
Here's an example of a cohesive Bandcamp layout that is aesthetically pleasing
https://wolcensmen.bandcamp.com/album/songs-from-the-fyrgen
Notice how the color palette matches the latest album artwork but also works with the previous album if you click on that. It's a bit of an extreme example since it has video and links embedded in the banner but the general aesthetic appeal is there.
Just my 2 cents. |

05.02.17 | I can try and work with making palettes match. I'm not really worried about the old stuff cause we kind of hate it honestly and would rather everything match the esthetics of the newer music. |

05.02.17 | Better?

DungeonBoy
05.02.17 | In my opinion, 100% man. |
Stereochrome1
05.02.17 | Awesome. Perfect timing since the single officially goes live today and New noise Magazine premieres it. Thanks for the help man. |
DungeonBoy
05.02.17 | Sure thing dude, it should also be possible to default to that song when someone goes to https://travelerstl.bandcamp.com/ instead of having all of the albums pop up on the main page it will take you right to your latest song by default. Just since you mentioned not being as proud of the old stuff. Congrats on the song premier! |

05.02.17 | Song's pretty awesome. DungeonBoy had some good suggestions for the site but personally think the header imagery and type could use a little work still, if ya need any help man I'm a graphic designer and would be happy to work something up for ya quick should be fairly simple to tweak wouldn't mind doing it free. Not sure how the whole shout box thing works here but if you're interested would be happy to exhange info. |
