i dunno about you, but im really impressed with this band. I mean really, they're playing Jarrod's Place, do you REALIZE what it takes to get on a show at Jarrod's place??? You have to call the guy who books the totally awsome shows and say "Hey, I'm in a band, we'd like to be put on a list"....and then two weeks later you have a show. It's really difficult work. The living room too. You have to put you name on ANOTHER list. And the Trance Buddha, forget about it man, only the REAL respectable bands get on there....or you could just put your name on a list.

But yea, this band totally has everything togther. I mean, just look at their website. It's got a picture of them...in the woods! It doesn't get any sicker and more professional looking then a well framed shot of your band standing in the woods. It was probably taken with a disposable camera...cuz they're DIY ya know.

And they wrote a bio of their band too, that's just so awsome. You're not a professional band unless people are familiar with your band on a first name basis. It's vital. People have gotta know who's in the band, how they all got together and what their favorite color is. The more assinine information you can fit into it the better. Super cool quotes like - “We just clicked the minute we got together,” says Matt “I plugged in, turned on, and we rocked out.” - make the band seem way cooler, cuz you know that they're all about rocking out. It doesn't hurt either to use a lot of pompous language and play your band up a whole lot to make them sound like people should actually care about it. Oh man, these guys are my heros. I didn't even listen to their music, but I just know from their website that they KICK ASS, and ROCK, and RULE all at the same time. Maybe they'll sign my AIDS medication.

faggots.

oh yea, and i hope they read this and commit suicide.
these saem gaywads will be in shitty popmetal cover bands 5 years from now leeching off whatever the 2008 equivilent of Godsmack and Staind are still insisting to themselves that they're gonna "make it", and be "successfull" while they play the same stupid clubs in front of the same 4 people.

Tom i'm sure you'll agree with me on this one that there was nothing sadder then watching that gang on soon to be middle aged men walking into the studio next door to us to go play the same stupid "look it almost sounds like Staind" song over and over again thinking that they're gonna be billionares off it.

5 guys in this 'downshaft' band and that is all they can produce for music. All I have to say is what a bunch of gaywads.

Just imagine all of the scags that probably worship that band.

Having shit bands for influences amounts to an even shittier band, perfect example. DOWNSHAFT.
