Crazybassist Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Just a quick plug for my band "A Promise To No-one". We've just finished recording our first EP which we're calling "Weapons" after one of the songs. Feedback is always appreciated, and if you like what you hear don't be scared to hit the like button https://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Promise-To-No-One/245712336387?sk=app_178091127385 And for those not on facebook: http://listn.to/APromiseToNoOne/player#t=0&pos=0&p=5 And if anyone happens to work for a record company, feel free to offer us a recording contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I am no music guru but you asked for feedback and so here goes. I hope it is not you but I don't think the singer has a good enough voice for a pro (or even amateur) band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Just wondering - is your band name taken from a Biffy Clyro song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Love the groove on 'knucle up' Very nice. I hate commenting on bands...as quite honestly it's a hard thing to do without being misunderstood. Guitarist and bass(that's you) all good. Drummer, - yep, he's alright. I think the singer needs to...sing more. What I mean by that is- more gigs, more rehearsal, more recording, listen to himself...and repeat. Put it this way. If you've all been together for 10 years I'd say...it's kind of ok, but it's not great. I suspect you haven't. So good. Keep going. Keep playing and enjoy yourselves. And finally...my biggest piece of advice. Don't listen to what anyone's got to say. Especially old blokes like me. As Zappa said "Shut Up 'n' Play Yer Guitar!"

neo2810 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Lmb's advice is pretty spot on. Your instruments are tight, and your sound is good. Your singer, however, is letting you down. It's not that he's bad, he's just trying too hard to be someone else. He's pushing notes to the point where he jumps from sharp to flat within the same note, it's a little bizarre. He's just needs to reel back a little, and find a style of singing his voice can cope with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopra Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 agree with comments above - the music is fab - right up my street, but i'm sorry the singer is awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I was hoping for some Tijuana Brass style trumpets but was actually pleased to hear stuff that reminded me of the much missed Planes Mistaken For Stars. That's alright in my book and I liked the singer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazybassist Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Cheers for the feedback guys, all much appreciated. No I aint the singer He's the youngest of all of us and a little excitable. He is getting better though. And no, our name wasn't taken from a Biffy song. It was actually taken from a saying our singers mother used to say to him, "tomorrow is a promise to no-one". Which he got everytime he said "I'll do it tomorrow!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
