im in a band back home in London, with some friends i know from my secondary school Been together since, hmm 2003 ish but only recently have we taken ourselves seriously. We recorded a CD in September which we're going to mix in the Christmas break. But we recorded this in the rehearsal studios, tell me what u think! s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0PGE086MBA7P06CVEE64RAOGSnot the best quality at all... vocals too loud, bass and one guitar too quiet But u'll get the general jist of it i hope.

I listened to signals, its good in bits, but the big critism; its way too long condense it every song unless its a gigantic rock ballad with key changes and a fade out should last approx 3:30, as they say quality not quantity. apart from that I liked its interpolish sound at times it could have done with more bass, the guitars are carrying the track, the feeling needs to come from the low end and like crank up the guitars a bit during the postchorus or something its all abit mono volumed it needs contrast, thats why i think learning to fly by the foos is cack its too mono not enough heavy light contrast the same could be said for the vocals I suppose, listen to finch that heavy hardcore screaming contrast with light singing would work for that song me thinks, but i imagine all that will be ironed out when the levels are sorted in mixing, could you post the lyrics for me so I can read them? Good luck with it though, its promising

and i totally disagree with your comment about track length? fair enough most songs are around that length, but i can think of plenty of great tracks which are longer (not that im trying to imply that this song by ours is) I mean, some bands i really admire like Sonic Youth, Mono, Mogwai, and Led Zeppelin have written songs beyong the usual mark, and with success. i guess its just not ur kinda thing? actually, the rest of our stuff is a lot shorter actually, 3 - 4 minutes. Just i happened to send u the longest one! so u might have the wrong image of us now and ok il go look for lyrics now ps- finch?!?!?! no thanks!
