Normally I would be all over crappy bands advertising their crappy music on places where nobody cares.....

But I kinda liked what I heard. I enjoy the ska.

edit- Except the vocals. Ditch them, stick to fast instrumentals.

Recordings are old except the 2 songs at the top, with no vocals.. hmm in the studio now, actually paying some $. Maybe they have some tricks to make me sound good?

Thanks though.

I've only listened to scratch track 2, but I'd say you definitely need to mic the trumpet, trombone, and sax better and make sure you're in tune. Sounds really good, but that brings you down D:

Well these were just scratch tracks, for when you go into the studio, so that the drummer has something to listen to, while he is laying down drum tracks, turns out, we just went ahead and redid all of it, once we got to the studio, the tempo was bad on some of them!

Throw in some death metal growls and breakdowns and you'll be tight.

But for reals, as far as ska goes, I like your stuff. I agree with the mic's on your brass.

I 3rd the mic's on the brass. Sax needs to be played a little dirtier.

Those were all played through one mic! In the real studio they had us all do it seperate,the cd is not done, but hopefully you'll come listen to some of the songs when it is!! But thanks for the compliments.
