bit uneventful
keyboards and drums sound too cheap
don't like the electro ones
dronier ones need more noise, less cheap keyboards
4/10
I hate your opinions.

last fm > myspace
http://www.last.fm/music/Stupid+Computer%21
too much effort
0/10
you suck
ok
www.myspace.com/mrfisty or www.myspace.com/mrfistsucks haha both same band
haha
oops second ones changed i forgets it now
where's the vocals?
if ever a band needed a singer it's this one
5/10, half marks because it's half done.
VOCALS.
oh go on do me
:(
Bend over.
haha cheers!
our new songs do actually have vocals! haha just aint recorded them yet :) the ones on the myspace are like old songs
go listen
to la maman et la putain !
Link somewhere below in the board !
that
http://www.myspace.com/lamamanetlaputain
synths aren't to my taste
if she sang in french it'd be much better
backing music doesn't change much, does it?
i don't like the guitar tone either
5/10

first band: synths sound WAAAAAY too cheap, so it comes across like some second rate Depeche Mode affair when going for something more minimal would far better suit the voice.
synths are really horrid, actually
4/10
second band: too twee, and really quite bland. the songs that have vocals... i really don't like the vocals. some really annoying synth sounds.
3/10
oh, pick me!
www.myspace.com/backstreetboys
there aren't any songs
but the profile pic is WELL BUFF
9/10
i can't believe it
i'm winning.
regardez this improvised shit

ur an animal :(
but
the shit really IS 'bananas'...!! LOL
lyrics and vocals are really bland
hilariously pretentious vocals
waaaaaaaaaaay too glossy production
bit too improvised
not enough focus
synths are pretty hideous on the fast song
the drony stuff isn't interesting enough for me to care about it yet; needs more 'texture'.
i like "Piece for wedged...", that could turn out good
...
http://www.myspace.com/thetalkingrabbit
the folky song is just plain irritating
the other one is bizarre, and not in the good way. the drum machine is awful; that shouldn't be on anything other than crunk records
How 'bout this
http://www.myspace.com/mapsandplans
this guys then !
Don't tell me they're shit or I'll kill you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.myspace.com/thisispop
there's potential
the guitar tone sounds a bit thin, and the vocals are a bit bland though.
it's a bit too nice, but i'll give it a 6.5
dandajanda
www.myspace.com/theadambrown
walks a really thin line between great and shitty
falls on the shitty side of things
WRONG!
good game
www.myspace.com/4or5magicians
nah.
I heard they're shit :!
who told you that
Mr. Wrong?
needs catchier riffs
bit too generic for me at the moment
some of the 'big' parts are really quite nice though. the quieter bits aren't really exciting, but the choruses are good.
this is hilarious
thanks

i couldn't pick this out of a lineup or anything
i really don't like the put-on accent

http://www.myspace.com/therenegadesunplugged
http://www.myspace.com/ellispaul
i only listened to the first one
ahahahahahah
they're the best / worst
those are all bands that have spammed their myspace links to the smalltown america website. i had to listen to them ALL!
oh, but listened to "a boy and his lakeen" on the /therenegadesunplugged link - about 1:40 in is the most out of place guitar solo i've ever heard..
not only is it out of place
it's also really fucking shitty.
that solo
is AMAZING!!!!
i think
someone in the shed next to where they were recording was doing some noodly guitar "workouts" and the tape recorder happened to capture that as well..
Yo
www.myspace.com/theriftmusic
bitch ass mother fucker
http://www.last.fm/music/Stupid+Computer%21/Eeep%21+ep
really dull
there's already too many bands like this
YEAH
http://www.myspace.com/thelateenos
http://www.myspace.com/wearetheseahorses
i found these bands just for this thread
omg ignore the second one.
listen to THIS intead:
http://www.myspace.com/assacre
AMAZING.
i'm a bit scared
he should play sunday morning in the barn at truck.
best band name ever though, right?
i wish i'd thought of it :(
could potentially be the best comedy band ever
needs more solos though
watch the video
on the blog of him covering Territorial Pissings..
the lateenos are amazing
especially if those photos are real
Go on....do me
http://www.myspace.com/mapsandplans
not my cup of tea
i don't like the lyrics at all
the general sound is familiar but not too similar to any pop bands at the moment... could have its fans.
the arcade fire quoting needs to go so fucking quickly though oh my good god
Hahahahaha!
can see your point with the Arcade Fire. still chuckling...
they have a song called "don't deport my heart".
mexicans rule.
they would be awesomer if they hadn't obviously recorded songs onto someone's mobile phone.
how about...
www.myspace.com/catnapmusic
pretty good
i wouldn't buy any records just yet, but pretty damn enjoyable
i'm not sure if the vocals should be brought up in the mix or not... sometimes they're good, sometimes really not.
...
www.myspace.com/tamikastreehouse
really?
shurrup
theyre good.
Why doesent anyone appreciate a good cheasy harmony anymore?
myspace.com/cheeseburger
really fucking stupid
but in the good way
they know how to make a good dumb rock record, i'd enjoy them live i think
read a review of them
that said, "this is what the new stooges album SHOULD have been," and they're right. I was sold...
this is ace.

playing my birthday gig
flits between underdeveloped
and really fucking great
some tightening up and they'd be absolutely grand
:-D
Spencer's ace. He's possibly playing a gig at a zoo soon. A zoo!
seriously though
http://www.myspace.com/thewest
they'd be so much better without the shitty electronics
and the vocals are a bit contrived
no real tunes there
so many better blues rock bands
I like this thread
What about this one:
http://www.myspace.com/wearethephysics
I'm gonna do a JAG
I dont care - I want some feedback
www.myspace.com/zerobeatmusic
And some of mates bands:
www.myspace.com/skitanja
www.myspace.com/randomloopgenerator
www.myspace.com/thescarletletterunion
That'll keep you busy :D
Why are they called Skitanja?
It's a Croatian word.
only the first band:
too many influences in such simple songs
there's no real direction at all, the songs all sound half-finished
there's some good ideas, but they're drowned out by loads of non-ideas.
some nice ideas
this kind of thing sounds a bit dated now though...
I've recently ordered their album
But what do YOU think?
http://www.myspace.com/divingwithandy
the music itself is really fucking nice
but the melodies are far too familiar
the same style with different songs would be a winner
This:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=16329629
i never want to hear this ever again
i-deserve opened themselves up
to a whole world of JAG.
How about these fellas?
http://www.myspace.com/bingosteve
the wrong kind of dumb
...
www.myspace.com/theoffshoots
this kind of music needs to die now
myspace.com/partydream
this is one of the funniest things ever
but they're clearly serious, so i don't want to meet them as i think i'd get raped/stabbed/something else a bit shit
saw them supporting Art Brut in NY a while back...
Magnificent (if shambolic)
However, they were also the main support for Scissor Sisters at Madison Square Gardens recently...
Why are you doing this?
http://www.myspace.com/thesurgens
because i can
too much of a pastiche
this doesn't work when it's not americans doing it, unless they're mick jagger or something
I can see your point of view
but I cheerfully disagree.
PS
You can't
