My band stuff

Weekend warriors or full-timers, if you perform live we want to hear about it!
Post your pics or videos, tell us about your gear and how you set it up! (or how that red head jumped up on stage just as your wife walked in) Every gig has a story please share them here.

Thanks. Yeah they completely fucked the track order with the re-upload. It's now alphabetical. :facepalm:

We're not super artistic or anything but we're not so lazy that we'd sequence our album alphabetically like some kind of idiot.

The proper track order....
1 Lights Out
2 Red Room
3 Halo
4 On Our Own
5 Nothing
6 My Disease
7 In Your Eyes
8 If I Died
9 No Love
10 Trapped

Thanks! We have a show at Creepyfest in New Orleans this weekend and there will be some record company people there. Hopefully we can find a new business partner. We're not looking for the traditional big signing and multi-record deal. We don't want that. We just want someone to put our shit out there and give us some support.

I think that's what most bands should be looking for these days. With the cost of recording and gear, a band with enough brains to buy gear and write songs should be able to get the cash together to pay for their own album... if they're not able to record it themselves.

Its really weird that they changed the track order though - I just can't see the point in that.

That ^^^^^

It's lazy and a total lack of respect.

We're more pissed about the track order than the art and title edit.

You mean you DON'T run home as quick as you can and forcibly ram the cassette up your arse? What sort of fan are you?
Of course, but that's totally unrelated to how or why most fans buy the tapes.

That does suck how useless Greg's label is being. Did they ever talk to you anymore than just saying "oh, some people are upset at the name" and "we had to take it down to correct the mis-spelling"?

Just popped your record on Spotify again, noticed that Red Room is now registering as having over 1000 plays. So, the song that has the "offensive" lyrics is the most popular. Win.

It's also the song they put on compilations all over the world. They clearly have never even listened to it, or they don't actually find it "offensive" and they're just being spineless cunts reacting to other spineless cunts.

So far it's probably been our most popular song among people that actually know who we are. I don't think the title words "Red Room" are ever even mentioned in the song so people ask us "hey what's the 'don't leave me alone' song"?
