Pretty good, you should start up a youtube channel for it aswell. Maybe record some of your songs in higher quality aswell (if possible)

It's decent, I wouldn't think it was a bunch of teenagers if I heard it. Which kid are you, out of curiosity?

i like what i heard, but the singer needs something...i'm not sure what...but he needs something. his voice really blends into the instruments. all in all though it was pretty good.

Sounds pretty good considering it's only your first month. But you need to crank the singer up, he needs to be louder then the music.

Can I request that you post the lyrics to the songs that were up there?

Also, where did you go to record? And how much did they charge you? Sorry, but I'm into music myself so I'm just curious.

No problem We spent 50 an hour, I think it was worth it, and it was this place called SI studios.

The lyrics have some swears in them so ill just censor them myself


Burn The Valley
I gotta get out of this place
or ill end up a nut case
out the back and up the alley
Cause youll never be nothing in the Valley

The cops harass me every chance they get
cause im not dressed like a stupid ***** Prep
all this kids around here suck
Little **** think their **** tough

(Chorus)
I Wanna watch this place burn
We can spit on it turn my turn


Last verse
This place is so redundent
I think its time to make an adjustment

(then its the chorus again)



the end of that


The System
We fight for peace
They Fight for power
Push em back
Their final hour

The face of a lier
they cant deny it
Truth is knowledge
lets **** Riot

Final blow
shoot for the head
stupid twist
were all dead

When the days over
we start again
this **** war will never end


Turn the pages
turn back time
War for ages
not justified

They think their safe
but while they sleep
We destroy
their **** dreams

People killed
just incase
their stupid plan
blows in their face

one by one
they take us down
without a fight
without a **** sound


and, thats both of them, I know the lyrics are kinda corny but I try XD.

Im not sure what you mean XD but, ill try to find that somthing that I need.

it wasn't until about 3 minutes into the song that i really heard you, but unfortunately you needed to scream for that to happen. maybe it's emotion in your voice, maybe it's that the music drowns you out a little, but a lot of punk music is that way. right now i would only want to relisten to that song for the instrument portion of the song, but really that shouldn't be how it is. i should want to listen to it to feel the edge that your voice brings to the song. like i said though it's pretty good.

Treble, I'd say you need to try and use a bit of treble when singing. It would give the vocals a bit more interest IMO.

I think if you guys step it up just a notch, you could get a record contract. It just depends on how bad you want to make it big. ;)

Sounds like every other midwest punk/garage band I've heard. Band is sloppy, drummer is sloppier.

Maybe treble would work haha, and yeah were gonna keep on going trying as hard as we can, getting big would be awesome but we pretty much all just wanna play shows and, just keep writing music that people like.

I don't mind it, definately pretty good considering how little time you've been going, one question though, why ask for peoples opinion when you get all arsey the moment someone says they don't like it?

The guitars and drums are good and if I was listening to it on the radio I wouldn't know it was by a bunch of teenagers. However one problem that I do have with the song is that you seem to be rushing through the lyrics rather than actually singing them in my opinion.

Overall it's really good just work on the vocals.

Cause I want helpfull opinions not "its sloppy" Anyone who says that is worthless to this thread and should have never posted, Some people have said they didnt like it, but they gave ideas to make it better, and they will help.
