Title: PLEASE HELP!!
Post by: Rivkid on March 10, 2007, 00:15:11 AM
Hi all,

Ok I know I whored out the t shirts for my band a few weeks ago (thanks for your support) and I do try not to constantly badger people for help, but if anyone with a myspace page could vote for us on the below it would really help us. Were currently sixth out of thousands of bands across europe on the Burnout Band Slam competition which could see us featured in the next Burnout game.

If you could vote it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Riv

Interesting video. Nice... but the lead singer looks er... somewhat unsuitable.

His voice doesnt sound like that of a larger man. Just doesnt ring right in my ear.

Granted, when just listening to the music it makes no difference... just doesnt tally up in my head.

Voted 10, quite like the track :) just the video makes my head confused.

Unfortunately I dont have a myspace page, however, I do think that those who do should give you a vote.

Of the four sample tracks my fave is still The battle for Valhalla, its very rounded, with a nice start.

[edit]Ive listened to it six times despite a stonkingly bad headache and not being well, the voice is A1 perfect for the song.

Talk of Valhalla and Valkyries makes me think Im going to be listening to some epic battle metal a-la Manowar, but that aside I quite like what Ive heard on your myspace even if its not my usual brand of metal. Ill certainly throw in a vote.

I totally see Rich;s point, the voice does not match the singers appearance. Voted anyways.

Cheers for the help guys. As for the comments about my singing I dont really know what to tell you. Six years,  some success, some rejections, plenty of reviews and comments but no ones ever told me I dont suit my own voice before lol.  :D

Most of our music is a lot louder and faster and I sing a lot more aggressively and then it works. It doesnt help that I lookked like a schoolboy in that video!! Usually Ive got very short hair and half a beard and it does look a lot more fitting.

Youve certainly got a cracking voice mate, and I think it suits you perfectly. I dont really understand how a voice can suit a person. It is what it is.

Its not that it doesnt suit him.

Its that hearing the track and seeing the video didnt make sense in my head.

Hearing the track I was expecting someone looking like they stepped out of a side project of Creed/Alterbridge. Instead im greeted with someone who looks more like they belong in a more shouty shouty band.

Its not what I expected thats all, they sound/look like two completely different people.

That said... thought about sending in that track to radio 1s rockshow/lockup be quite nice to be able to request it on the radio! :D lol. Get some pimpage, can imagine that one appealing to a bunch of people. Its poppy, but rocky, much like Creed actually.

Just listened to it and all I can say is wow really good, missed it last time when you were pimping the tshirts, ranked it 10.

Cant download the MP3s off the site though which is a shame.  Ill give them a try later on.

Great voice BTW
