i'm sorry, i'm gonna lay into this

everything from the clichéd lyrics, the hackneyed, overused song structure, the music, and even the pseudopolitically "rebellious" band name makes me wanna hurl.

Ok, so, add in a few trumpets and a trombone, turn down the distortion, and make the singer (who has a very nice voice) take music lessons, becuase he seems to...uhh... not understand music very well in terms of what notes to sing and when. The notes he does sing sound good! But not in relation to the other ones, but ya, get all that and you've got yourself a pretty sweet ska band biggrin.gif

Hmm, i don't like it, it has potential, i suppose, but its sounds generic and "standard" but in that sense sounds sub-standard.

The songs meaning is using a kinda overused theme too.

any feedback is appreciated... I want to know realistically what it would take to get them mainstreamed... it seems like the marketing behind a band is what does it... Hanson's MMMM Bop... need I say more... -

from a marketing POV they should be golden; they've got the poppy rock-type music that seems to be all the rage nowadays - all they need is a look.

They remind me of Greenday.

Guitars are boring.

Their image. Well I personally don't like. Everytime I go to a show I see guys dressed liked that all the time, it seem like veryone dresses like that nowadays. (well at least the people I see at shows.)

Their image reminds me of a band called Rooster, a bit feminine. Haven't really bothered to listen to their stuff yet (Mink). But might if I get bored.

Edit: Shocking, but they're not bad. Not my usual, but theres definatly something there. Good luck to them.
