Post your band here.

I'm the lead singer and trombone player for the band Atombender. We're a pop-punk band with horns (Less Than Jake meets the Get Up Kids maybe). Here's our facebook account: www.facebook.com/atombender

We actually have our newest album written, and it's the best 11 songs we've ever made. If you could find some kindness in your heart and throw a little money towards our Kickstarter account, you would make my day. Thank you so much if you happen to donate! Here's the link: http://kck.st/atombender

I'd be into a compilation, actually. If somebody wanted to throw together a mediafire and a quickie album cover I'm sure we'd all get a little more attention by way of people lurking the forum.

Also, how do you guys prefer recording? I've done the whole studio thing, and with our budget and the dude's pro-but-low-end equipment, we had a slick, nice, but cheap-sounding EP at the end of it all (though not bad for $300 before paying to press the thing). With my newer bands I've done a live recording with Pro Tools that we then warmed up and toned down by releasing the work on cassette, and the Cyberbully stuff is just Garageband across the room from my buddy's drum kit and amps. While that's not our intended final product, it's pretty damn close. I've found that I'd rather have a well done lo-fi recording than a cheapy slick one. Thoughts?

i've done a bunch of different recordings, from live shows to studios doing a ton of overdubs to acoustic bedroom recordings. my favorite way to do stuff is to record live in a studio. you can still end up with a raw sound, but can fix big huge mess ups without having to go back and re-do the whole thing. for the newest CD that we are working on, we have done everything live in 1 or 2 takes with hardly any overdubs at all.

having said all of that, my absolute favorite recording that i was ever a part of was at my first band's practice room. we had our friend run all of us through a crappy sound board which he recorded on an old reel to reel tape machine. the only overdubs were when we brought in 15 or so of our friends to 'sing' the backup vocals. we recorded 13 songs, but only ended up with 7 because we accidentally destroyed the 2nd tape. we paid him a bottle of whiskey to record us.

btw: i know i'm new here, but i would love to get in on this compilation thing. if you give me a name for it, i can probably make a decent 'album cover'.

I put up a new song i wrote over the weekend. It's called "Irene". hehe

i have mp3 songs of "Who Wants Some Nesquick" "No Dice Chicago" "Missed You At The Show" "Cyberbully" "Boomstick" & "John Zakarias". If others want in with this compilation then send me mp3s and i will start compiling songs that fit for this.

Check out my band: The Naked Sweat Drips. We're Dutch and inspired by '60 and '70 rock 'n roll! I'm the leadsinger and inspired by Springsteen, Fallon and Block (from the Belgian band Triggerfinger). We're releasing an EP in the autumn, we're looking forward to it! Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Naked-Sweat-Drips/259797094031993
Feel free to ask questions

Here we are playing The Gaslight Anthem's 1930:

Not great quality, while the camera got too close to the stage a few times, but at least it's something...

School project, we wrote and recorded a song in 2 days.

Nice!

I know it isn't what most of you usually listen to but it was good fun. I played guitar and bass.

Hey Holland, you're pretty handsome. No homo.

Well thanks, you should be my wingman or something, i need the help, i have been told i look like Brian in my picture but i don't think so really, maybe the hair.

It's not far off.

I could be like Ryan Gosling in Crazy Stupid Love, giving you a new wardrobe. It wouldn't be all preppy and fancy though. Just really stylish. You'd be showering in swagger.

haha that would be awesome!!

Theres a small preview of my bands first single here : http://www.missedyouattheshow.com/

Not bad. Your singer reminds me of Tim from Rise Against (with a lot less screaming).

haha cool, thanks for listening!!

I think the singer sounds like Mike Kinsella (Owen).

Who Wants Some Nesquick - It's All Right (Acoustic)
Stefan Kollee - I'm A Cowboy

Id like to get in on this, but we aren't mixing our cd until Monday. Can I send you a song then? Otherwise, I can just send you a rough mix of one of our songs.

Haha, my most stupid song is in this list. I'd prefer Trying to Communicate (lyrics by Boulevard Police).
I'm A Cowboy was recorded as a joke for the drummer of my band. 'Cause actually:


I'm not a cowboy.

Hell yes! I'm so stoked this is happening. I know I was MIA for awhile, but this rules.
