Accy bands

Infinitus · 19-12-2006, 16:29

The title says Accy bands, but I mean anywhere locally. I'd like to hear local bands/local music. If you have a link to where I can hear your music that would be great (providing your music is uploaded on the web). I think the only thing that would disqualify you is if you're in a cover band. You can't really call that your own music can you?

I'm very interested in up and coming bands, I just hope that there actually are some locally that don't just do covers. In my opinion, there are too many cover bands and not enough original stuff.

Regards,

Our links are all over this forum.
If you look round our website and myspace you`ll find our own songs to download.
I share your views on covers but the plain and simple fact is if you play something people know you`ve got 4 gigs a week on decent dosh if you play just your own stuff you play a couple a month for FA. (Believe me I`ve been doing it 30 years)To me it`s become acceptable to be covering pogues and Clash while slipping a few of our own in to be out there walking the walk rather than those pretending to be somebody from their bedrooms. I think it`s bad and crippling to real emegence that it is this way but Winkers like Cowell and Waterman have the public brainwashed into being spoonfed sugar coated shyte, regurgitated over and over.
The way you play your covers makes a difference too, some people simply copy the originals unfortunately ours are begger all like them.

You`ll find some links to other bands on our site and myspace friends I can`t be R sed rooting `em out to paste up here.
Thanks for your interest.
Cheers

I can understand where you're coming from with the covers, especially as long as 30 years ago. I think what I missed in my point was that it's not really neccessary for producers to do covers these days. Obviously, even the biggest bands around do covers, especially at gigs. I think my main gripe is people writing covers and releasing them as remixes. It just is talentless to take someone else's song and reproduce it, IMHO. I'm sure you'll agree.

I'm just giving your stuff on myspace a listen now, I'll let you know what I think,

Cool tracks on Myspace, not the usual thing I'd listen to, but I can appreciate any kind of music. Some of the lyrics are hilarious

Your experience definitely comes out in the music. Very nice stuff

Most people think i'm a talentless moron, but at least I try. I've personally been producing about 5 years, well trying to anyway. I'm not sure if my music is your cuppa tea.

The link to my myspace is: http://www.myspace.com/theunsignedexperience

I'd add you, but i'm unsure whether you'd want me on your friendlist

Not sure why you think that. I had a listen to your stuff and it`s not really my cup of tea, but that wouldn`t stop me being your myspace friend, Crikey I`ve got Walsall fans as friends.
I like Fruity Loops as well but do most backings in Cubase. My electronica is not finished products, merely the base on which to layer 2 LIVE performers. I love "Big Bag" one of the user demos in FL6 have you heard it ?

Have a look at these guys
http://www.myspace.com/actionbombsquad
They`re really cool and still very young

Go down to the Attic in Accrington for young and happening bands, I`m to old to carry me friggin gear up there.

LoL
