(I really, really, really hope you're not gonna think I'm a massive bitch for writing this!) I liked your song. The tune is very catchy, but needs a little "more", you have that awesome hook but you need some more than a hook in the song. Maybe experiment a bit more with the sound. And they way you put songs together. I like the singers voice too, its very distinct (from what i could tell from that recording). And I don't mean distinct as in "crap", i mean distinct as in doesn't sound same-y. Im not sure if what I mean is coming across but its all good . But I really couldn't hear the lyrics and I'm pretty sure thats just due to the recording, but if it isn't I would recommend going to a singing teacher or vocal coach and having them work with you on making the lyrics "stand out". And thats not a bad criticism - all bands eventually get vocal coaches. Even Anthony has one! You really need to make sure what your singing about can be understood at least 3/4 of the time. I would comment on the lyrics but I couldn't hear them! Anyway your band seems pretty good and tight and all the rest will just come with more experience I'm so glad for you that you have a CD coming out! That must be awesome. I have some friends who are in a band and they're not anywhere as good as yours yet. Good luck! (Please don't think I'm a bitch)

OK, I watched it. I´m sorry but I don´t find it to be any good. The guitarist and bass player could not more obvious try to sound like John and Flea and the singer kinda always sings the same three notes. There´s absolutely nothing happening in this song. The guitar in the verse so damn much wants to sound like John and always keeps repeating that one riff over and over again and gets boring pretty soon. The chorus is absolutely not catchy. Don´t take offense but I think you should rehearse on and on and on and try really hard to get better until you go to public like that and post a video of playing in front of like 20 people, standing still and saying your album will be coming soon and you can email for sticker and t-shirt infos.

...the singer kinda always sings the same three notes. There´s absolutely nothing happening in this song... always keeps repeating that one riff over and over again and gets boring pretty soon... The chorus is absolutely not catchy. That pretty much sums up what I was thinking.

thats kool...everyone has their own opinion. thanks for your adivce Scarlet Starlet..and i dont think your a bitch lol. its good to hear positive and stuff we can improve on. Not like *oh your songs so sh*t or it sucks...thats immature.
as for the 2 negative comments atleast ur honest. its a bit hard to not take offence when you are blatently giving my band mates crap and being so negative. You could have put it in a more postive way like you should do this...or if you's did this it might change it. But hey, ur entitled to your opinion.
Its good cos we've got hardly any bad feedback from it.

I tried to put it as positive as I could. That´s why I said you could get better if you rehearsed a lot really before going to public like that. But that was all positive I could think of to say about this video. I´m an honest person and if you ask for feedback like you did you should expect to read such things.

I didn't think it was bad. It was the kind of thing I hear very often at local gigs only...nicer seeing as all the bands round here seem to be death metal You weren't amazing but you weren't shit either. I'm sure your ep will sell well-you obviously have a fan base and I'm sure as time goes on you will get better and better.

It was ok, but it had no spark, if thats the right word, i've never seen a 'local' band or whatever, but theres nothing there, it seems just I dunno, it also gets not boring, but you know I don't mean it's shit, its ok, but theres room to improve, and good luck
