TorturedSaints Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Hi all, if you would like to hear my band's first EP, recorded, mixed etc by me, then here's the link: [url="http://www.nimbitmusic.com/darksky"]http://www.nimbitmusic.com/darksky[/url] Difficult to categorise for us - others have suggested we are 'alternative', compared us to The Cranberries, (not that I've ever heard them before), so I don't know where that puts us on the rock spectrum! It's all original music, anyway. I would call it rock though. The Nimbit site is currently set up as to offer free downloads, with donations welcome. You can always download it for free and donate later if you've enjoyed it. Feel free to comment here, We will be looking to get some gigs early in the New Year using this demo as a 'door-opener'. or 'like' us at [url="http://www.facebook.com/darkskyband"]http://www.facebook.com/darkskyband[/url] or on twitter.[twitter]darkskyband[/twitter] Enjoy cheers Ralph Bass gear used on recording: Fender Jazz MIJ 'Geddy Lee' Sig. Post-EQ DI from GK MB500 into Tascam US-1641 interface. edited to incorporate hyperlinks Edited November 29, 2013 by RalphDWilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 This kinda music isn't really my bag, but it's pretty good. The songs are decent, although I think I'd want a bit more catchy chorus as it's blatantly commercial and I think you could make more of that. Not keen on the mix, it needs better balance and some polish. The drums seem too loud, and the vocals need sparkle. The performances are ok but it's lacking tightness and the grooves feel a bit forced here and there, they lack vibe for me. I've only heard the clips though, not the full songs. Please don't take the above as being too negative, I just think you need to work on it a bit more and get it polished. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorturedSaints Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks xilldx! Comments appreciated. It's a learning experience for all of us. We are obviously doing something seriously wrong if it's sounding blatantly commercial. Edited December 10, 2013 by RalphDWilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 No worries man, cheers. When I say 'blatant' I don't mean 'deliberate'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
