Posts: 138 | July 2nd, 2005 at 11:56am Hello, people!
I've got my band-but we have two problems:the first is to write nice new songs that are not just like Green Day's, Offspring's or SOAD's; and the 2nd one is to make our band more popular...
What advise can you gave us?
P.S. How did you like my photo?

to make your band more popular, play more gigs. get your music out there somehow like post it on a website (use myspace, they let you put music up there). eventually people will hear your music and like or not like you guys. just make sure your songs are ready for people to listen to, first impressions are important.
hope that helped with your questions  |

Posts: 1468 | July 3rd, 2005 at 04:04am to write better songs write about everything that comes to mind that you think would be even relatively good for a song (not al at once but you know what i mean) for the lyrics. also, even though its easier to write words and thn the music (for the most part) it usually sounds bettter to write the music first (for the most part)
as for getting popular, make a band profile at purevolume
www.purevolume.com
and/or make a website on a hosting site like this one
www.freewebs.com
and try to get gigs at little places, it also helps to know people, like the mayor and such
above all make sure you have fun because if you dont have fun your gonna suck, and your gonna hate it |

Thank you very much for your advice!
I think, all bands suck when then start their career.
Probably, you can ask your friends or familiars to help you to write nice texts and/or music...

Unfortunately, we haven't got enough nice songs to make our demos that can really help us to develop.

Well, I'm pretty good lead singer in our band, as my friends and groupmates say...
So are you really "behind me"?

Yeah, I appreciate your answer very much!
We haven't got a jam station to record our tracks, I even haven't got my own computer where I could record our music!
We've got three (!) guitarists and still no drummer... Probably, one of our friends will learn good during this summer to enter our band as a drummer..
But I think we'll make our best to become more popular.
P.S. Hey everyone! How do you like "Rant-and-Rave" name for our band?

We're having big fun, oh yeah!
But I can't make a website without my own computer,s I have said...
And also it is difficult a bit to me to write nice lyrics.
Thanks for your sites!

Posts: 137 | July 3rd, 2005 at 06:10am 1) Your songs. Write what you feel about something or if you have hardly no bad things in your life (HARD!) then take another band song and take the meaning and change it ( DON'T CHANGE JUST 1 LYRIC BECAUSE A BAD MAN CALLED A LAWYER WILL SUE YOU!)
2) put your songs on a disk or computer and send it to little recording places
3) make a site and make your music available! |
