Respectable demo?

Farmerbrown2200 · 8th November 2005

THis material was recorded live in a room 16 X 12 with a 7 foot ceiling. I worked very hard to get it to sound the way it does which seems, for the price (120 cdn for 11 tunes), a respectable sound.

All the band want is a demo as close to the classic punk sound as I could get (we're talking NY Dolls, Dead Boys, etc and not Nirvana or Green day). What do y'all think??

The band ain't picky, it's me! But for the money it's hard to justify any extra work...

If you listen please comment. Feel like I only get feed back from a few folks (Who I am greatfull to, but I would like a wider range of opinion)

Thanks

Where's the song?

it's up now... crap I always do that!

sounds like a decent demo to me. It's a little harsh in the upper mid's, but whatever.

I think it sounds to good for that price. You worked to hard on it. Scoop about 12db at about 400hz and make it sound really cheap and thin.

Sounds good. That is a lot of songs for just a little money.

Ha! Good one...

I'm Counting on making money when they over-dub the vocals (these are just beds with a guide voice.)

Thanks for listening.

I'd say they definitely got their money's worth out of it. It's got that demo-y "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" feel to it, it certainly works with the band. I don't like the bass drum at all, tho. God, I miss punk...

Hell yeah - you have tighten up the drums; the weirdness/phase is gone. I like it baby!

It's the kick I was thinking about going back to fix, but i'ts too much time so I'll wait.

I miss punk too! Have you seen this:

I haven't heard a band I like as much as these guys and don't think I ever will...

Thanks for listening,

Yeah I really like all their songs too. I had a chance to see the band live last night. Great live energy, so good infact that the band after them didn't stand a chance! The second band sounded flat and boaring even though they were the local favourites!

Thanks for listening
