More from 76!

[Andrew Clarke]

Yes, i've actually managed to update my band's website!

www.76music.com

There are two new songs for you to download and berate in this thread if you wish.

I'm being an opinionated bugger on the 'top 500 songs thread' at the moment so here's a chance to listen to me putting my money (or my foot) where my mouth is. Enjoy.

So far I've only been able to listen to the "Baby's got a Secret" track. Not at all what I expected from you, but it's pretty good. Is that you on the vocals? Pretty raspy voice there and works for the tune.

[Andrew Clarke]

Cool! I hope you liked it. these songs are probably the most Tom Waitsy we've got, written back when i was first discovering his grumpy genius. Yes it's me singing, though i hope i have developed a more individual voice (with more of an English accent) by now.
i used to be in a grunge band and used to sing everthing in an American accent because i listened to american bands and the american accent is just the best for rock music. but I'm english and am working hard to not just copy my heroes.
I would be interested to know what you were expecting me to sound like.

[Electrichead]

Well, from some of your discussions on the good and the bad of Tool, and other similar bands, I thought you were more in that vein of music. Tool, Soundgarden, NIN, etc. I guess more of a hard rock type.

Your stuff is good, so post when you have new songs up.

[Pop Zeus]

Hey! These tracks sound good. The song bits flow together real well. In both tunes. And the musicianship has chops. Keep up with the good stuff, man.

Yeah, you do kinda sound 'Merucin.

Found it!

'Taste Changing Album' thread:
http://chud.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73474

in which i go on at possibly tedious length about how Leonard Cohen saved me from grunge. I used to love rock and metal but most of it now, unfortunately, is unlistenable to me. i refuse to dismiss the genre as music for teenagers and other lower life forms partly out of nostalgia and partly because rock is just so much fun.
So i still have a thing for rock, though i think most bands (let's say 'Tool' for example) take themselves WAY too seriously. i put on 'Vulgar Display' when Dimebag was murdered. that album still rocks.

DaveB's stuff is pretty good. his engineroom thread made me remember i could post in this forum, so thank you to him.

There are 2 new tracks on my website so please check them out.

I reckon i could take daveB in a fight.

[DaveB]

Very cool stuff. I can hear the Waits influence big time (no pun intended), and that's not a bad thing.

And, yeah, you could probably take me in a fight.
