 | Sunnyvale Hey there! Yeah, I listened to the EP when it came out last year, it's good stuff. I'd be happy to review it, perhaps in the next few weeks.
|
 | tyman128 well, after 4 years, I think it's time for me to write another review for y'all
|
 | WillieD Haha, that's awesome! I'll definitely check out your band - I'm always looking for good music!
|
 | DungeonBoy Oh yeah man, Routenote is a free Distrokid with some shoddy service. I have made some money using them, but they probably take a massive cut. I don't really care about making money through the music, but I can't complain about a little kickback every now and then. It's hard in the digital age to get your stuff into people's ears though. Cheers!
|
| DungeonBoy Hey dude, yeah that's a good question. Everywhere I can really. Sputnik, facebook, youtube, I have a routenote account that posts all my stuff to all major platforms. I've emailed a bunch of youtube channels and blogs asking them to host my stuff, really just grassroots self promotion when I see an opportunity. I also corun a label with my stuff on it, so that has probably helped some people discover it through similar artists on the label. Cheers!
|
| tyman128 ah dang, meant to but forgot to, I?ll be sure to check those out today
|
 | neekafat heard that teaser track and that was really cool man! Pretty post-punky but it's got a lot of uniqueness to it
|
| neekafat Hey man, thanks for sharing! I'll be sure to check it out sometime soon (:
|
| tyman128 heck yes man, keep me posted about it
|
| tyman128 hey man, just wanted to congratulate you guys in Elemantra that you took the 11th place in my favorite albums of the year Great album, I?ll definitely be on the look out for future releases and I?ll continue to review them in return haha
|
 | Conmaniac Oh hey my dude I def remember digging that album!! I'll peep the new one too when I can thanks for the heads up (:
|
| tyman128 Tyler, don?t wanna get any more specific than that, sorry
|
 | Snake. hey man, you know about the band trench? they just put out a new album today and i'm getting mad similar vibes to elemantra, you should check them out
|
| tyman128 do it man, the only way to get better is to keep writing. Speaking of, I need to write a review tomorrow haha, wanna stay on schedule with reviewing... at least one a week for me
|
| tyman128 dudeee, yes ! finally a review haha
|
| tyman128 thanks, it sounds like my review writing is improving finally haha. anyway, I genuinely did enjoy the album, definitely will be on the look out for more music in the future from you guys, keep it up!
|
| tyman128 man, it was so much fun to write up. And thank you guys, it means a lot that you enjoy the review, been trying to work my way up with reviewing
|
| tyman128 Just finished the review, hope you like it :)
|
| tyman128 hey man, gonna be writing up the review tonight, finally haha
|
| tyman128 don't worry about that. My first review was Love and Death and there were already three or four reviews. I just wanted to write and enjoy it.
|
| tyman128 you are convinced... nah but in all seriousness, take an album you know by heart basically, and just write what you think about it and a general overview. Don't ramble on, get straight to the point, and just enjoy it.
|
| tyman128 it's been 6 years, you should pick it back up again
|
| tyman128 oh nice. so you don't review anymore?
|
| tyman128 yea, I've realized I'm probably one of the younger active users/reviewers on the site
|
| tyman128 dude nice. I kinda have no choice with schooling considering I'm a junior in high school haha. Not quite in college yet
|
| tyman128 oh man, good luck with school. I've been traveling lately, should be in school, but I won't be back to home until October so I'm missing a lot of school. Oh well, more time for music haha
|
| tyman128 so sorry that's it taking so long. just got around to jamming the album and it's pretty solid, I dig the sound. I'll get a review out within the next few days
|
| tyman128 Dude awesome! Already got a review in the making right now, so I'll try to listen and get a solid review for your album as soon as I can, which may be a week or so sadly (travel and stuff)
|
| tyman128 do you need an email to send the link to?
|
| tyman128 hey, when's your new album coming out? really looking forward to reviewing it
|
 | verdant just found you guys on here ")i'll keep an ear out for it
|
| verdant no worries, chucked it a 4. keep it up man
|
| verdant hey dude, listening to foreign breath at the moment and it's really really good. you and the band should be really proud of yourselves (:
|
 | danielcardoso Yeah man, gonna check later and give you a shout :]
|
 | Papa Universe Yes, that's pretty much what I meant. Not heavy to a point of it becoming Punk, but still having a certain weight to it. I am looking forward to your new stuff.
|
| Papa Universe And you don't have to listen to me, after all I am just one dude in a pile, whose opinion doesn't necessarily reflect opinions of others. I just thought that the gentle nature of instrumentals on Foreign Breath (and the vocals...I don't have any suggestions to that) hurt the music. But now I definitely am looking forward to more of your stuff.
|
| Papa Universe I had no idea that there's someone from Elemantra on Sputnik. Anyways, I didn't hate the record per se. In fact, I enjoy this sort of Lo-Fi sound with certain 90s influences and your band shows a lot of potential, but you rarely use it to your advantage. Maybe try to make the sound a bit heavier and the instrumentation more rapid, but with all the same whimsical vibe next time.
|
 | bach I absolutely think that. Im glad you're thinking this way. Keep pushing forward man.
|
| bach It's easy to get caught up in the what ifs and the could bea but you gotta move forward even if you feel stuck
|
| bach The past is the past man. I did what i did and the choices I made at the time felt right.
|
| bach I wouldn't call it letting go as much as I would coping with loss
|
| bach It's whatever. She said a lot of hurtful things to me that day. I mean I did too but it was only retaliation
|
| bach Things are over between my ex and I for good. I told her I hated her and dropped her stuff off on her porch.
|
| bach hey my man i hope you're doing a little better. if you ever need someone to talk to im on here occasionally just get at me
|
| danielcardoso yeah i get you. i'm kind of in a tricky spot myself, questioning if uni is really where i want to be and finding it hard not having seen my couple of best friends in quite some time. some happy little sh'ts we are huh.
|
| danielcardoso lol nice, its probably my favorite of yours. i've been okay lately, thanks. are you doing better?
|
| bach I'm trying my best bud. Thanks for the kind words. How's it going with you?
|
| bach I do love her. More than anything
|
| bach She wants to be just friends I think. There's maybe a small part of her that wants to reconnect
|
| bach She wants to continue talking but I think it's only going to hurt me further
|
| bach No matter what I do to try to move on she creeps her way back in
|
| bach I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the same way
|
| bach Hope you're doing well man. You ever need to vent get at me
|
 | BlushfulHippocrene ...drive her back to you, at least not like that. Take care of your emotions, bro, it's hard but you need to. Do what's best for you. I know it's harsh, but it's honest advice. She must be amazing, but if she's making questionable decisions, you might have to let her realise them for what they are. I know it hurts, but it gets better. Please look after yourself. We don't know each other, but please try. Don't drive yourself into a depression. But do what you think is best. Best of luck, brother.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene I understand, man. We're in kind of similar situations. You love her, I know. But it's something you'll need to let go. You can hold onto it for a while, and it's going to hurt like s***, but it'll happen. If you're just looking out for her best interests - which I understand, he sounds awful - then please by all means go ahead, but just be aware how it's going to make you feel. Just know you probably won't get her back, it sounds like she's panicking and doesn't know what to do, but it won't...
|
 | Mabbitt Haha it's fine, I try to remain mostly anonymous on here so I don't blame you. I'm Jordan, used to be in Crazies
|
| BlushfulHippocrene I know, bro... I felt similar for a long time, and I couldn't quite go out either. But I promise it passes. You'll learn to accept it - after a period of uncertainty and attachment - and come to terms with it being over. Which sucks while it's happening, it hurts a lot, but after a little while things do start getting better. Just time, brother. Hang in there.
|
 | CalculatingInfinity Maybe you should change that ;) But seriously no problem at all, sucks to see a Sput bro who seems genuine feel terrible so I'll help any way I can. It will take a long while but it does get better.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene I know man, I know... You're the best judge of this, but ask yourself if you really think it's worth trying to get back with her - not just for now, but in the long run, too. Loneliness hurts a lot, but it passes. If you can you should go out and meet some people. Sometimes other people can make you feel lonelier but there are others who just feel right. More than anything though, take care of yourself. You'll figure it out, I can promise. It gets better, just a bit of time. Let go when you can.
|
| bach It doesnt even have to be romantically. Just make a connection with someone. It'll help. I promise.
|
| bach But don't start digging your own grave because it. Honestly try talking to other people.
|
| bach That seems the be the case for most relationships ending. One person's stuck and the other is gone
|
| bach Stay strong dude. Don't let this define you. Know that no matter what happens you will feel love again.
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Similar thing happened to me, except the girl cheated, and then caused a lot of drama - this part was unlike her, it was just her dealing with things. It's been three months, and was messier than I could have imagined; it still hurts, and I'm the last person to get over things like this, so I can promise it gets better. Be with friends, be productive, it helps. It's easier to slink into depression, but not nice. Opt for fun over sadness, but it's fine to feel hurt. You seem like a great dude. :]
|
| Snake. i know man, i'll try to see how we can make ends meet
|
| Snake. if i can catch a ride, which is pretty unlikely, but i'll see what i can do
|
| Snake. yeah, only in sophomore year
|
| danielcardoso I have an account but haven't gone there in a while, the rating system confounds me most of the time ahah. What about you?
|
 | AngryLittleAlchemist Lol i was joking cause it's cringe but...ok! Anyways, how long did it take for you to get into Smashing? I love most of the album I'm just not as much a fan of some of the other songs
|
| Snake. aight awesome man. this is their bandcamp: holdoncaulfield.bandcamp.com
|
| Snake. we're from eastern new york just north of nyc but i think it would work because i think they know people in ithaca that have booked them shows since some of the members went to cornell so i was thinking maybe make it like a "meet me halfway" type thing.
|
| Snake. hey so i heard that you guys were from new york and i'd want to know if you'd be interested in playing a show sometime with my friends' band. they're a lot more poppier but they still obtain the same twinkly emo aesthetic from bands like the appleseed cast and american football so i thought it would be cool to hit up two ny emo bands for the same show.
|
| danielcardoso You're welcome man! And i haven't spun prince at all almost, been meaning to change that.
|
| danielcardoso Also, i sent you a friend request on facebook, at least i think it was you lol.
|
| danielcardoso Hey man i'm fine thanks, uploaded your review! Took me a bit long because the first time around i wasn't happy with it, but i tried writing it simpler and differently, hope you like it buddy.
|
| danielcardoso Cool buddy, i get a lot of smashing pumpkins vibes from your stuff, which makes sense considering how much you love em ahah. I also sense some dino jr and built to spill in there, but that could be me overhearing things. I'm working on my review and will ask for a feature so more people can check you out dude :]
|
| danielcardoso Ahah cool man, yeah i think there's some great stuff on it, have to get out of my reviewing hiatus though :D
|
| danielcardoso Hey dude if you want to i can review your album, hearing some of it now :]
|
| danielcardoso Thanks for lettin me know buddy! And yeah 'peach fuzz' is sounding great atm, i'm getting some really strong built to spill and smashing pumpkins vibes from it, love it!
|
| danielcardoso Hey buddy sorry it took me so long but i finally spun your album! Sounds great, a few more listens and i should rate it! You've been around lately?
