Pretty cool, nice to hear some other young ska bands, liking the woahs.

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='829368' date='May 6 2010, 09:58 AM']We're in the studio with a 'name' producer over the next few months recording an albums worth of material. Said producer chap has come up with the idea of us putting it out on vinyl. A lot of our likely audience are in the same age bracket as us and will still be vinyl junkies who like tangible music. This makes sense and apparently the new Paul Weller LP has sold really well on vinyl too. Anybody done this. What sort of cost were you looking at all in? I will obviously do my own research but a head start will help.[/quote] Hey, I looked this up last summer because my band was thinking of putting out a 7" record. The two best sites I found we're [url="http://www.quickpress.co.uk/"]http://www.quickpress.co.uk/[/url] who were cheaper for what I wanted and [url="http://www.agrm.co.uk/"]http://www.agrm.co.uk/[/url] who we're really helpful when I emailed them but quite a bit more expensive. The main thing that I noticed was that the initial costs for the metal work etc was the most expensive bit but getting 1000's of records after is quite cheap. Being a small band of teenagers we couldn't afford many and didn't want to buy too many just incase we can't sell them. In the end because it would of cost around £4 per 7" after delivery for £100 we decided against it for now.

I haven't researched this myself but I am quite interested if anyone has any info on this too.

Sounds pretty good to me, I think you sing better than me and I sing live for parts of our band's set. I think it would be easyer to give you critisisms if it was just you singing and nothing else (no bass or backing song). I hate singing while not playing myself so I'd find it hard. You do seem to stay in tune well though. I think the key is just practice, I've improved a fair amount lately just from singing along with songs. I'd suggest giving a few more a go, ones I find fun to sing and play which aren't too hard and of a similar style are: NOFX - Stickin in my eye, Bob and mabye Seperation of church and skate. Screeching weasel - Hey suburbia Bouncing souls - Manthem Jawbreaker - Boxcar If your interested in singing and playing ska stuff I'd start with the verses of Leftover crack - Gang control or Big D and the kids table - Wailing paddle as they're not too tricky.

Sold my MXR blowtorch to dave and everything was dealt with easily and with great communication. Would recommend 100%
