another brinstar band - this guy doesn't quit

[brinstar]

wuddup ya'll, joined yet another band a few weeks ago. had our debut on a local radio show Friday night. this is from the raw broadcast audio (unprocessed). this band kinda blows my mind.

thoughts/comments/critiques.



Welcome
There's been a fire
All your loved ones have died
You weren't there to cry by their side
It's alright
There'll be time for that now
There'll be time for a lot
Now yourself's all you've got

Think about the times
You were in a bar
Standing in a line
Idling a car
?
?
No matter how you tried
No matter how you tried
?
?

Now you are free
Please don't blame me
I'm just a fireman from District 13

Insurance'll cover the cost
Of most of your things
Where the pillow once was
They found your wife's wedding ring
Did I happen to mention?
There may have been one who survived
They found him clutching
The remains of your wife

Were you ever there
More than physically
Did you ever care
More for your TV
Than your family
What was the last thing
That you said to her
Did your "I love you"s ring
As only hollow words
Only hollow words

Now you are free
Please don't blame me
I'm just a fireman from District 13
I'm just a fireman from District 13
I'm just a fireman from District 13

[Tikker]

[brinstar]

i didn't like it his singing at first either, to be fair

[Tossica]

Does not suck.

[Drem]

reminds me of the walkmen. or wilco

pretty good for a live take. shit singer tho, yea

[Menelvir]

There are parts of it I liked - but it seems a bit disjointed, a bit rough around the edges, maybe. If it were tightened up a bit melodically, it might have more impact.

But I know fuck-all about music -- I just know (more or less) what I like.

[brinstar]

well none of the songs are more than 6 months old and half the band has been in it for < 2 months (i joined 3 weeks ago) so if it sounds a bit unpolished that's why

[Tuggan]

im not hatin it, could offer better critique when you get the more polished version up.

i like unique singers, and always down when people add more than the plain old usual instruments.

[Zanchief]

I actually though it was pretty good, but I don't know anything about music so it must be bad.

It was weird the way the rythm seemed to change drastically form time to time, but I guess that was intentional.
