So, this is a post to get your band or a local band that you like to get noticed. If you want to you can include some background on the band, but it's your choice. Make sure to include a link where people can listen to their music.

So, I'll go first.
This band is called "With Eyes Like Ours" and they are a local Indie/Rock band in my area (Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania)
The first time i saw them play was at a local Hurricane Katrina Relief Concert hosted by my High School. I instantly go hooked on their music and they remain one of my favorite bands to this day.

Here's their Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/witheyeslikeours They used to have more songs up, but they removed a lot of them for reasons unknown. But anyway, Enjoy

This guitar player/teacher named Lee Barbour has something in my town. I'll let his words describe it best:
"I have a new band called "the easy way to quit smoking" with Ron Wiltrout. This is a duo we started a couple of months ago that has evolved from buying a lot of cool gear and wondering what it would sound like to our first gig at Lite Affair this Sunday night. I wanted a group that would be able to pull off lots of different sounds live, and I got it. Since there are just two of us it's a real challenge to pull it off but I've been happy with what we've done in rehearsal."

They're both extremely competent musicians, and I'm thinking about going to the gig. Unfortunately, I seem to be the only music student at the college who doesn't know where that place is...

Anyways, here's a link to their myspace page.

You can also check out Lee Barbour's stuff.

This guys are KILLER live. I like their studio sound, but it doesn't come close to the awesomness of seeing them around.

Abduktio from Tampere, Finland: http://www.kapina.org/abduktio/

They play modern hardcore in the vein of D.S.-13, Refused, etc. Excellent stuff and absolutely a killer live.

Well, now I find out that my band has a myspace page, with music! I had no idea. Of course, for our first gig, I didn't even know we had a name (it's been a while since I've actually played for a "band" and not just a pick up gig).

http://www.thebankholidays.com">The Bank Holidays are probably my favorite local band right now. They play jangly 60s style pop.

Also, seeing as how their stuff is pretty much impossible to get, I'll send it to anyone on Soulseek who pm's me with their username. (Mine is "Bobsledboy")

i've got some shitty acoustic demos up. most of which were written and recorded on the same day. the levels aren't quite right either because vocals and guitar were recorded all at once seeing how i don't have a computer capable of recording track over track.

If there is ever some obscure Aussie record from some small Aussie band that you're after, check out www.inertia-music">Inertia. They do distribution for a lot of labels around here (and some overseas too I think).

Nice, sproingy rock and roll with an great bassist and an amazing singer.

Yeah, here's my band.
www.myspace.com/internationallyacclaimed

If you are in the Livermore, CA area and are a good blues singer, but able to work in other genres (we're working on a lot of different songs in different styles), slip me a private message, we're looking for a vocalist.

Edit: Also, TrueNeutral, your vocalist is hot.

TrueNeutral · « **Reply #19 on:** 13 Feb 2006, 07:40 »

Not 'my' vocalist, it's not my band. It says local bands, not your own bands.

But yeah, she's hot. Too bad for you (and me) that she's as lesbian as she can get.

EDIT: Who needs Steel Drums reminds me of EElS for some reason. This isn't bad because I love EElS.

I promise you, you can indeed record more than one track no matter how shitty your computer. I’ve done it on a 486 laptop without even a single MHz of RAM. It has nothing to do with what your computer is capable of, you just need the right software.

what software would that be? i currently use cubase. the lag is bad enough that if i stum a chord there is a noticable delay before the sound wave will flash up on my screen. i don't have the cash to upgrade my computer so if there's some program that will somehow record without a delay do tell.

I'm assuming this guy has a bit more than a 486 though.

Actually yeah, that's pretty much how we make our music. We write it, then I lay a guitar track down and send it to my bassist over the INTERTR0N ZOMG, and he lays his bass track down and sends it back to me over the INTERTR0N ZOMG, and then I put it on the band's myspace.

I'm moving back to California when I turn 18 though so we'll be able to be like YAH SUP without needing the INTERTR0N ZOMG to do our stuff. :B

What about The Silent Revolution

But it's still recording noise. It doesn't matter if you see the waveform right away or latter, or at all for that matter. The wavform image is just a little something extra the kind people at Steinberg put in there to make things easer for you. The bottom line is, the actual audio data being recorded is there from the get go. But as far as that lag goes; try reducing your sample rate to 41000 if you're not there already. As long as you're not Superman, you wont hear any difference in audio quality. Also, if you're using Cubase SX, there is an option to make the interface a little less grafic intensive (I've forgotten where, but you should be able to find out in the help file). I'm not sure if that option is in Cubase VST but if it is, use it. Finaly, make sure you're not monitering while you record. I know it makes you feel like an international pop star when you hear yourself in the cans as you play, but it's unnessasary and, for a system like yours, unreasonable. If your using an accustic guitar then there is really no reason to do it. Monitering IS where all your system resourses are going. Get out of the habbit until you buy a smack-load more RAM and a new CPU.

And to not steer things off topic. Some pals and I will be playing these songs as soon as we get our stuff togeather. They're on a few local comp cd's and stuff, but that's about it right now.

The Selmanaires The songs on Myspace aren't the best quality sadly. Definitely my favorite local band now due to my wonderfuly great friends Avenge Vegas calling it quits.

The Swear There is a possibilty you've heard them on Smallville at some time.

Second Shift I'm kind of at a loss as how to place these guys. I like em though.

And because Athens is close enough for me, I know some of you guys have heard of Jucifer

Any of you folks from Tennesee into the Theory 8 bands? I loves me some Forget Cassettes.
