Good job guys! I voted for "This Town".

I know a band in Indy called Lafcadio, ever heard of them? Here's the track listing from their "Sham Duvet" release:

1 An Example Of The Reaction To A Worldwide Decision To Silence The Mentally Ill
2 The Hours And Days Leading Up To The Coming Of A Prophet
3 Noticing Drastic Changes Of Individuality And Enlightenment At Such A Young Age
4 Something To Die For
5 Untitled
6 A Complete And Thorough Lashing Out At People And Acquaintences Of Whom One Carries The Burden For
7 The Effects Of Anti-Psychotic Medication Forced Upon The Unfortunate Souls Who May Or May Not Need
8 The Epiphany
9 Untitled

Wake Up -- This Town
To be honest with you I dont give out REAL compliments
easily but I hear good stuff here and mature writing and
good controled vocals.

It will be a shame if some guy you think is gonna take you to the stars
ruins you guys. You need time and development. You dont need
to become a bar band. The few hundred smoking, beer drinking
screamers cant help you get anywhere. Think in terms of 10s of thousands.
Think about how to reach those numbers. Good Luck.[/b]

Thanks man that means a lot and any feedback is good feedback! I'm glad you like it. Yes i am trying to figure out how reach those numbers. That is why I'm going to every website i can and we play anywhere we can. We are trying to stay away from labeling ourselves a bar band and how we do that so far is by only playing originals. Very seldom do we play covers. Again thank you bro and I hope we got you at least halfway into the midwest state of mind!

I have never heard of that band here but we will keep our eyes and ears open. Thanks for voting and I'm glad you liked it! If you could help us spread that midwest word we would appreciate it and don't forget to become a fan on Facebook!

Of the two you have posted locally ( AKA Bandmix ) I prefer This Town.
Though both are nice.

Small critique and mostly a personal preference I suppose.

Feel the vox are too far out in front of the mix.

But hey ... it's your band.

P.S.
Stop smokin those f*#kin cigs man.
That sh*t will kill you.

There are many, many,many websites out there that reach millions.
There you go.

It will be difficult for you not to get caught up in the immediate satisfaction
of pretty girls that will keep f**king you until you are musicly F**ked.
If you are successful, the road ahead is full of down falls.[/b]

Yes the mix could be better but for the price of free... we aren't going to complain. Someone liked us and gave us a pro bono demo recording. Thanks for the feedback!

Heck yeah ! Can't beat free.

I went to reverb nation and listened to all the tracks. You have talent and when you listen to one song its like something new and refreshing; however after getting to song 4,5 and 6 the tempo/cords and style become very redundent and almost to the point of boring. Do not become the band "you heard one song you heard them all"

All the songs are good as they stand alone, however as a group of songs try to switch up the tempo or try different time signatures.

Just my 2 pennys.

Thank your honest advice and feedback. That was what i was looking for. We have discussed that issue many times!

Some cool elements to your music especially the vocalist.
I was hearing a bit of Mraz, Everclear,Sublime or maybe 311?
Some good stuff though.
