As some of you regular Triple J listeners may be aware, the Unearthed competition has gone online. It allows unsigned bands to post their music, have it rated (And ranked), and hopefully played on the radio ( Read more... )

Let me know what you think :)

Rendezvous has a long intro, but it gets better. Dawn is much more straight forward.

The drummer and guitarist are mates of mine, and had just asked me to fill in quickly when their other bass player left suddenly.

I think that was set up initially when I'd just joined the band. The intention always was (at my request) that I was only a 'session' bassist - I play for them, but I'm not 'in' the band.

I'm playing in another band as well. When that starts gigging (hopefully not as late as January), I have a feeling it will get very busy indeed. That way, I have an immediate 'out' of Nevetherym.

You never know, however. Maybe this one will start getting realy popular, and that's where I'mm launch my international career in music :p

If you released it without telling people it was me, you probably wouldn't recognise me in it.

But no, let's just leave that 8mm tape in the cupboard with all the other 8mm tapes I've appeared on :p

Sounds alright, Dawn is better than Rendezvous
The music is Top notch, not so keen on the vocals (in Rendezvous particuly towards the end)
I like long tracks (one of my current Favs is 13mins)

Cheers :)

Most people, including the singer, aren't happy with the vocals. But I think he likes being the centre of attention :p

Yo. Hi. not bad, sounds a little like you had inspiration from "my dying bride". A little drawn out without the regular chorus/werse thing but good power riff and vioiln work. Good luck mate.

Cheers :)

I think sometimes it can be a bit drawn out as well. I wasn't involved in any of the songwriting (I'm really only 'temping' in the band until they find a full time bassist, or I leave (which is more likely)), but others have made simillar comments.

I'll let you know the next time we're playing in Sydney, to see if you could make it.

Hope life is going well for you :)
