My Band- Violent Stars

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Violent-S ... 7912979362


For those of you who are into prog-rock/indie like circa survive, mars volta, tides of man, edison glass, coheed and cambria...

This is my band and we really need to build a fan base as fast as possible. We have Two songs up on our bandpage. Please do me the liberty of Liking the page and listening to our songs! You guys have always been so kind and helpful and i feel as though many of you will appreciate this music the way its meant to be appreciated. thanks guys.

I play bass, lead guitar, and i'm the lead singer. (just incase you were curious)

no workieee.

It's nice. I gave you a like, but I'm more interested in Progressive Rock from Emerson Lake & Palmer, Rush, (Older) Yes, and Egg. It falls more into symphonic rock, I think. I'm not a Circa fan or a huge Mars Volta fan, though, from what I've heard, I think you guys sound a lot like Circa.

I play drums myself, in a band, and it's cool to hear another up and coming band as well.

i couldnt hear it . it didnt work i liked it though ..

Wow I'm astounded this is a normal band that understands how to play music instead of some remix DJ trance techno horseshit.

It's not noise, good job and keep up the good work

Jay, click on the bandpage tab and hit "play". and ckid, i'm so surprised that you didn't hate on it somehow haha. thanks for the opinion though bud, and thanks even more for at least taking the time to listen to us.

It's not techno/trance/hardstyle/dubstep/whatever the f**k else remix sampling garbage so I have to at least slightly respect it.

Yeah, that is pretty damn good music. I like to hear something a bit more up tempo. Crawl Away was the better song. Although your bass line for the first song was well done.

Oh, and yeah, I have to agree with Kid, hate that crap too. Uh, Slayer rocks.

[jayman]

oh.. ok i got it to work .
i have 2 band pages that i need to make like that .. how'd you do that?

not sure. my drummer did it haha.

Crawl Away Saede is real nice sounding. Both sound good, but this one just sticks out more to me. Singing is pretty damn good; that's usually the downfall for most beginner bands. Overall, it'd sound better live due to simple recording equipment you used, but at this point, it's nothing to worry about.

[jayman]

ok . i got to listen to it .

It looks like it's a different music app than the standard facebook band app. A LOT better than facebook's garbage.

3/4 Hahahahahaaha
Does your band play in different time signatures?

yeah. we have one song thats mostly 10/8 with 2/4 and 4/4 thrown in. we aren't simple minded by any means. my drummer just has issues with complex measures sometimes. and Strataforce, as for simple recording equipment, we did this in a professional studio.

Edit: another thing to add hkkoasters or whatever your name is. you aren't cool just because you understand complex time sigs. pretty much any musician can handle them. if you think music is "more talanted or more complex" just because they use odd time sigs, then you're an idiot... Odd time sigs are used when its tasteful... not just to be "cool and complex".

(and secondly all of these songs are in 6/8... not 3/4... but nice try.) don't argue with me either because i'll own you in a music theory competition haha.

[jayman]

complex time signatures often result in incredibly annoying music and , along with many other things, are not allowed in my studio .
