Dirty Money - Far From Home
October 14, 2007How to guarantee a spot on The Fest in Gainesville:
1. Start an atonal pop-punk band that has no defining characteristics
2. Write a song called “1 2 3 Fest!”
You see, there are 2 big reasons to start a band. You either have amazing songs in your head and want the world to hear them, or you want to entertain people with music that might not be original but is still fun. Now I love pop punk with gritty vocals, but for some reason bands like this seem more like U2 than Hot Water Music. I think “controlled” is the word I want to use?
The Wonder Years - Get Stoked On It
October 10, 2007I think a friend of mine recorded this. It seriously starts out sounding like a shitty mosh metal demo for a few seconds, but then it kicks into Saves The Day style vocals. Its OK. Overall I can tell there are a few people in this band that just can’t give up their Bridge 9 records. I’m betting its one of the guitarists. The guitars are tuned too low and the tone is muddy like its a low level Epiphone through a Marshall solid state. I’m also guessing their Myspace is full of really hot 17 year old girls with private profiles.
Nice People - Demo
October 9, 2007You can download this somewhere on the internet. I know I did. It sounds like a total throwback to intense 90s emo. Moody, lots of shouting, midrangey bass, spazzy start-stop style drums, etc.
