Title: 2 FREE Evil Twin Stickers (For 45 minutes of your time)... HELP!!!
Post by: RVertigo on March 02, 2006, 06:18:05 PM
YO!!!  I need some help...  And I'll bribe you for it...  2 FREEEEEEE stickers mailed (by me) to your address for helping.

They look like the first two stickers on this page:  http://www.eviltwinrocks.com/etstickers.htm
When (if) I FINALLY get them from the printer, I will mail them to your address... IF you help me out.

So...  Here's what I'm asking...

Check out my band's music and tell us what you think about each song...  Sounds involved huh?  Well, I made it easy by making a survey.  YAY!



--> The survey is here:  Evil Twin Survey (http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=404)



The directions on how to get to the music are in the survey, but I'll put them here too...  There are two ways to hear the music...
- To Stream the tracks: Go to www.eviltwinrocks.com and click the Audio Link on the left...
- To Download the tracks: Go to our Downloads Page (http://www.eviltwinrocks.com/artwork.htm) and download the MP3s.

We'd love your help...  And don't forget the stickers!!!   :icon_mrgreen:

Once you're done, just PM me to ask me to pay up...  and send me your address.  Hopefully I'll have the stickers really soon (since the print shop was supposed to have them to me last week), but I will send them as soon as I have them.

I said as soon as I get them...  I still don't have them...

But, I should have them "soon" according to the printer.

I tried to listen them, gave each one a shot. The music is "ok" but the singer has got to go .. Sorry.
btw, i listen to a little of everything, hard rock, clasic rock, some rap, and country.

Yeah, we've heard a few people say that...  I think we need to get him to sing in his normal voice, rather than "The Voice."  But, I also know about 45 people that hate Rush, Jane's Addiction, The Violent Femmes, etc. etc. 'cause "The singer sucks." :dunno_white:

I realize this survey thing was a long time ago, but I am just getting around to listening to the tracks.

I am impressed  :thumb: I actually think the singer is pretty good for the songs he is singing, and for the style of music. This music is what I consider American bar band kind of rock. Some people's ears are not really "tuned" for it, I don't think. It lacks the "finished" sound that most bands have. But for a rock band that is playing in a bar / club, this stuff is great.

BTW, "13" is a nice change of pace. Some of the other stuff makes me think Jet, Slash's Snakepit, etc.

Catchy melodies (where applicable!), good guitar and bass lines, and the drummer is good too. Most of the lyrics don't make me think "deep and introspective", but more of the stuff that would be great bar atmosphere music.

I downloaded the all the tracks and made a CD to pop in my car. I'll give it a few more listens. I've been needing something fresh to listen to. Not the same crap that is all over the radio. I hope you don't mind  :icon_razz: You can always pull a Metallica and sue me.. haha.

Sounds good, tho. Three cheers for Evil Twin  :thumb:

Definately a bar sound to it, not a studio.   The singer could stay or go.  The drummer & guitarist are good.. like the beats.  Not my type of music, but I'd shut up and listen in a bar.   :cheers:

I'd plunk down some coins for some studio time & get a sound engineer to polish it up, see what comes out.

Wow! :o  Back from the dead...

Thanks for checking 'em out guys!  Since we only ever play in bars, it's good we have a good bar sound.  :cheers:  (Best when drunk!  :laugh:)

Yeah...   We're hitting up a better studio with an actual engineer and an actual producer next month.   :thumb:  Hopefully we'll sound less like we recorded it in some mullet wearing dude's garage in the ghetto (which is where we recorded it).

Hopefully you guys don't polish up TOO much and sound TOO engineered.  Amwerican bar rock is supposed to be a little raw with some rough edges.  You don't want to sound like Duran Duran. Haha.

Hell though, even Nirana with their Nevermind album used heavy processing and still maintained a semi-raw feel. If done right, it will seriously rock.

BUT..there is nothing wrong with being a terrific live band - unless you want a serious career selling records?

I don't think it's possible to polish us too much...  Well, unless they get studio musicians to play.   :nono:

I listened and so did one of my friends. We both really like it. He had the same idea that was mentioned earlier in putting them on a CD to listen to something a little not-so-mainstream.

:thumb:  My laptop speakers suck...  But, sound good from what I can tell...  I listened to death metal for years...  Still listen to metal pretty regularly.

I'm been kicking around the idea of doing a metal side project called.......   Düktapen.   :icon_mrgreen:  We'll see if anything ever comes of it.

[edit]"Myself" is a great track...  I really gotta check it out with real speakers...

Good stuff, scott. I used to be into hardcore stuff like that. Ive got some Slipknot and Hatebreed CD's sitting around somewhere. I guess I just got old, I don't listen to it as much as I used to. But still, good stuff.
