new band

[ryansmithxvx]

i fully admit that this is a total spam moment, but:

some friends and i started a new band, called vegan warfare. obviously, we are all about veganism and how the animal rights struggle is connected to all other struggles in the world.

we put up a song on our myspace here

you can kill me now

The beat is good, guitar is good. It all needs to be synced a little better, and dear lord, I don't know who's 'singing' but please god, take them down.

If it's you, I'm sorry, but that's really bad. Try to tone down the voice some and do something other than scream. You're going to tear up your vocal cords like that, and I'm not joking.

There need to be more vegan bands - keep up the good work, and try to take my advice as just that, and not negative criticism.

it was recorded using the built-in mic on a laptop. DIY hardcore demos; you don't get very good quality.

there won't be anything other than screaming, so you will probably hate us.

[ryansmithxvx]

oh, and i am playing guitar in it, so you complimented me--so i definitely didn't take it personally, haha

[tangient]

I think the music is wonderful. The screaming ruins it. So yes, if the vocals are always going to be that way, I probably won't listen.

Sounds pretty damn good.

I actually like the vocals.

But seriously, you guys need to speed it the fuck up, man! At that pace, I half expect a rapper to show up somewhere in there, all brocore style!

[ryansmithxvx]

are you serious?
rap-metal came in around 98/99
all of our influences (that we sound pretty similar to) are from like 93-97: chokehold, green rage, raid, earlier earth crisis, etc. or, they're inspired by those bands: 7 generations, gather, etc.

[therevsoup]

I'm not saying you sounded like Limp Bizkit or anything, 'cause if you did, I probably wouldn't have liked it at all (and would likely tell you so)! ;)

But I am saying I think you'd sound a hell of a lot better playing it faster.

But I'm prolly just as full of shit as everyone, so what do I know?

[soiamme]

can't listen to it at work or my boss will shoot me, but I'll try to remember when I'm back home

well my dog loved it...he ran into the room and looked up at the computer smiled and wagged his tail until the song was over. im pretty sure he was impressed, but i have to say i didnt know that was his type of music.

Don't like it, sorry. Basketball shorts hardcore is not my cup of tea, I'm more into crustcore and dark hardcore.

[ryansmithxvx]

basketball shorts didn't come into hardcore until like 2003
every band we are influenced by is like 1995

[15countsofarson]

Doesn't mean you guys don't sound like basketball shorts hardcore.

[ryansmithxvx]

yeah it does, cuz basketball shorts hardcore didn't exist back then
basketball shorts hardcore, to me, means like donnybrook, madball, etc
we sound nothing like them
