Hey friends, my bandmates and I recorded an EP a little while ago and I thought that if I'm gonna spam my songs about moms on here it would be pretty disrespectful not to do the same for some music that Is not a complete joke.

I've had a lot of fun playing guitar with these guys and it would mean a lot to me if you would give our songs a listen. Playing in a band has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little kid so I'm feeling really happy right now. I know yelly screamy music isn't exactly everyones cup of tea but I think that if you're into any sort of hardcore/punk/screamo/skramz/post-whatever or straight to tv Lifetime channel movies you may enjoy it :)

I like it. The guitars remind me of And So I Watched You From Afar, upbeat and fast.

the guitar is cool but the vocals ruin it for me. I've never been a screamo fan, sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

Top notch stuff, I immediately send the link to my friend, who is into emo/screamo too. I hope you will manage to organise yourself some gigs and go on a small tour around the country, as I have done a couple of 3-5days ones with my band and it was one of the best experiences in my life :) We're doing more sludgy stuff tho.

[edit] my comment was seen as hijacking, but really, people who are into DIY emo/hardcore stuff simply LOVE exchanging experiences, each other's bands etc. People who are on tftv apparently not :d

Liked everything except the screaming but I'm not into screamo to begin with, metalcore is the furthest I'd go for that.
I can definitely see a shit ton of people loving this

I'm really not into this style of music at all.

With that being said, I'm really impressed by how professional it sounded, I was expecting something a lot more amateur. Really solid production work.

that was really good. nice mixing, although the strings might be a tad loud on song #2. can't hear the vocals.
although, other than the instrumental changes, the vocals were pretty much the same the whole way. i like and understand the screaming, however, too much can ruin emotion. although i really did like the EP in general.
nice job!

yaugthe guitar is cool but the vocals ruin it for me. I've never been a screamo fan, sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

u have to work yr way through emo or post punk into screamo. like u start with snowing or TWIABP and 5 months later yr that kid with greasy hair mumbling Jerome's Dream lines 2 yrself :(

real talk tho u kind've have to look at it as like an abrasive instrument rather than just a set of lyrics and it creates a different picture imo. Like on this album the production and tuning are all rather upbeat and happyish, while the vocals create a sort of foil that plays against it. It makes it more interesting imo but I can see where people who prefer more unified or cohesive soundscapes would be put off

Thank you so much for all of your feedback and support! I showed the thread to my bandmates and they really appreciated what you guys had to say.

Dude post your stuff! I'd love to hear it. We plan on doing some shows actually once our setlist gets a little longer.

One of my bandmates has a friend who did it for us. I know absolutely nothing about her so I don't know if she would appreciate me posting her name here.

That was some really good feedback. For the most part the instrumentals are just a bunch of random progressions and riffs we smashed together so we could call it a song which I think played a big part in creating a disconnect between the lyrics and the music. We're definitely gonna keep what you said about having a cohesive soundscape in mind.

not bad at all, which is surprising given that I haven't seen anything skramz coming out of chicago that wasn't mediocre in a minute

recording was also really strangely clean for a first ep - gl with ur future endeavors, this should catch some attention

Sent it to my brother who is in a band that writes experimental metal. He and his bandmates loved it!
Keep up the good work. :D

Sounds great! Kind of has a touche amore vibe to it, I love that midwest emo has been making a comeback the past few years. gj capn
