nice one !

Hey Sesh , still makin music these days? If you are,throw some up.

Back in the day I knew a bunch of bands similar to yours. Nuthin but fun and good memories.

I liked the last batch a LOT more than the 1st.

Did the same person produce both? The reason why I ask, is because you can hear the better singer. The bass and drums get muddied.

I can hear no reason why you didn't get signed.

A good A/R guy will recognise good songs and band potential regardless of the quality of the recordings. Judging by the shit that's been shoved out there over the years , a band with any originality and chops does'nt stand much of a chance of getting signed (to a major)unless they're a cookie cutter version of something that's already out there. Most A/R people are'nt musicians and it shows in the talentless udder SHITE they sign, push down our throats, sell some albums and then flush down the shitter because the creative tank is empty for these bands because they're one trick pony's.... The executives who run the industry could do themselves good by taking a page out Irving Azzoff' book. He was a guy who would see originality and potential in artists and let them develop and grow from album to album. These artists today ,some of them dead and the others not touring anymore STILL earn money for his company today. Independant is the way to go .........

Yeah same producer but in a different(a little better) studio. There was a gap of maybe two years between. We did a couple of other demos during that time but over the years I've lost my copies.

Cheers!

More fitting to me would have been would I have bought it once it came out...

Probably not.

Will echo what others have said in that the lead vocals were really, well, not TERRIBLE, but a little less than average. Thinking back to what was on the radio then, Rikk is right when he says that it really wasn't any worse than what other bands of the time were doing, but the other side of that coin is that it really didn't stand out or apart from what was going on then, either.

But considering your age then, it was a solid effort, Sesh, and I'm not saying that to be patronizing in any way whatsoever. Hey, fuck it. You guys ponied up to the bar and gave it a shot.

I've heard it said that telling someone their songs aren't good is like telling them their girlfriend is ugly, and I'm not saying your girlfriend was ugly. Don't really have the mindset or pretend to know what an A&R rep at a record label uses as a yardstick, but I can say that just as a listener it was tough for me to get past the blandness and grating voice of your singer.
