Hope yall like it.

Hey Greg,

I listened to all these the other night before you posted them here in this forum. I love the guitar tone that is getting pumped out here in these tunes. I particulary like the light and dark shading in a couple of the verses in Suicide Gypsy. The main guitar riff in Running With Scissors is sweet, not complicated but very fitting!
The playing is tight and I can hear why all those women where throwing their vagina's at y'all.

i listened to Outlaw Lover and the Scissors song. Nice Power drummin man. The guitars have a good thick sound to it as well. The vocal style/voice not really my cup of tea. Kinda reminds me of the 80's hair bands, but musically you guys sound pretty damn good bro.

Lol. Thanks. I don't know about 80's hair-bands though. I don't hear an "Waaaaaaaaaaaa" vocals.

You guys should rehearse more.

What? We do rehearse. We just do it at gigs.

damn Greg the band sounds awesome. you can actually hear everything. very good vox, and your snare sounds bad ass. fuck that sounds like fun dude, i wish i could find some people to let me drum with them on some music just like this.

Yeah its a lot of fun. Nothing too technical, but speedy and punchy and lots of power. Thanks bro.

Because most people are afraid of us.

Thanks Gorty. Yeah none of our stuff is too complicated. That's probably why we're as tight as we are live. We kinda purposefully make it that way. We each got our parts down cold. I think most everyone would rather hear a band that performs their stuff well over a bunch of virtuosos slopping all over eachother. We play with a lot of metal and punk bands that either overdo the technical stuff, or just try to play faster than they're capable of. It never works. We always end up blowing them away simply because we perform our simple stuff better.

Just listened to Bastard In Me/Chopping Block....I really dig the vibe you guys are laying down....just kick ass rock....musically, you guys remind me a bit of a legendary Detroit area band called Seduce from the 80's...Evreything sounds great, especially like the drums/bass guitar , very tight. I think you should sprinkle some crazy assed guitar solos here and there to spice things up a bit!
Gonna check the rest out when I get home from work so I can crank it up a bit!

Damnit I just had a nice, long, incitefull post and then my internet gave out and I lost it.

Anyways. . .
Was there a mic for the floor tom? It sounds very spacious.

Also, you're rhythm is spot on. I thought it was just in your home recordings, but even the live stuff is very good.

Do you have the files anywhere that you could remix them? I'd love to hear all this stuff without so much compression

Man and all this time I pegged you as a Cinderella cover band. Sounds crazy!

Cool. Thanks man. We're looking for a new bass player so our current bassist can play lead - he kicks ass. We found one guy, but we haven't really tried him out yet. We're just talking to him right now. Thanks again.

Thanks man. I try really hard to keep really tight timing with my drums. I think it adds a lot to our sound. I'm no virtuoso by any means, so the least I can do is keep good time.

No I don't have the individual files. We didn't even know this was gonna be recorded. The sound guy just asked us if we wanted it after we were done. I only have the CD he gave us. The floor-tom mic was a hassle. It was a clip on, and it kept leaning over and resting against the head of the drum. I think you can hear it on "Outlaw Lover". The floor-tom is crazy loud and sounds like it's gonna blow the speakers.

Yeah great.

Cool! I had no Idea this was your band. I've got "I wont" saved from forever ago.

Cool Stuff!
