Not my band, obviously. I produced the first track.

In case you dont know about this manner of thing (I didnt), its written to begin with on a gameboy: all the electronic sounding bits are programmed, note by note, in a modified gameboy. The rest is real (well, the drums are S2 and slate, but you know what I mean).

 At first I was like 'wtf' then I was like 'wtf, thats awesome'.

I really don't like the vocals. But I imagine he quite digs Pitchshifter and if that's what he's going for then he's hitting the mark I suppose.

The music is ludicrously silly fun, though!

[MDV]

Fair enough. hes good at what he does though. I like his style. Sort of a punkier james hetfield.

But yeah, great fun isnt it?

Edit: in fact the vocals are stuck in my head. They do that.

I really like it. Loving the vocals too.  I can see where you're both coming from with the JS Clayden/James Hetfield comparisons.

[MDV]

Cool :) Glad you approve

[Telerocker]

That's quite some fun. I think the singer - indeed, close to Hetfield - maybe not be the best singer, but not bad at all too and he gives it the edge it needs. There's some Muse-craziness in the song too.

haha that's pretty cool. Surprised we haven't heard from gwEm yet :)

I just stopped at 'wtf'......  :!:

I don't understand this kind of noise  :?

[Roobubba]

Hmmm not taken here, I'm afraid :(

[FELINEGUITARS]

That wasn't the droid I was looking for - sounded like R2D2 doing metal !

Thanks for the comments though :)

Does gwem do things like this then? I'd never heard of it before this guy came to record with me.

Yeah, I've been doing chip metal, and general 8bit stuff for years. Its semi-light hearted punky stuff, anti-corporate and all that ;)

just as the intro was playing laura, completely unprompted, asked if it was one of yours.

i think that means you are officially known for the chip metal thing ;)

[MDV]

Aye, I gather now such things have been around a while. Y U NO post your chiptunes before?

[gwEm]

have posted stuff here from time to time, generally I keep low profile on it though, unless theres something special about the track. this is a more traditional rock/metal oriented board after all - stuff which I love myself :)
