Roland Rock Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) We started this band (which I've just learned tonight is to be called "UJahm") in January, and it's lots of fun. This is the three-track demo which we've just done. Hope you enjoy it. http://soundcloud.com/ujahm-band Edut - I've changed the Soundcloud link now to one in the band's name rather than just my own.

tomhunt Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Sounds good mate! Have you checked out a band called By The Rivers? I saw them warm up for The Specials last year. They are getting a real good name for themselves at the min. From Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 f***ing great mate! I like Busy Like Signal too. Love the singer's voice and the lyrics. Great feel, great sounds, lovely. Consider me a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Thanks for the kind words folks. A couple of people have commented that the bass in 'Busy Like Signal' needs to be really boosted, as it's quite a dub style. In hindsight I agree. You know what it's like though - when they're mixing, it all sounds great through their monitors, then when you get it home you start to pick holes in it. I might try to get another mix of that song done - maybe a dub remix. I wonder if King Tubby is available? If not, I suppose we'll have to settle for Lee Scratch Perry [quote name='tomhunt' timestamp='1334854435' post='1622457'] Sounds good mate! Have you checked out a band called By The Rivers?

They're not far from us, so maybe we could warm up for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Cheers for the comments. We seem to be getting offered quite a few gigs off the back of it, so as a demo, it's doing its job nicely We'd best get something resembling a full-length set together!

51m0n Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Thats a great sounding demo, really great effort, she has a lovely voice, nice grooves, lovely arrangements (proper bv's too, ace!), mixed by someone who knows what its all about IMO...

Roland Rock Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Cheers 51m0n - I know you're an expert in these areas, so that means a lot. I'll pass on the compliments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 One of the songs on our demo got onto the radio tonight. BBC's "The Beat" (regional show) in their "BBC Introducing" section. Big thumbs up from the DJ/team, good feedback on texts into the show, and promise to play us again in future shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Really enjoying this, you've got a good groove going, everything slinking along nicely. I don't know what to say about mixing these days, I've just sent an email to our guy asking for the bass to be put up a bit, it's having a fight with the keys I think. Good tunes, had me nodding my head along with them, music that makes you move must be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks very much - I appreciate the comments. All going well, we'll be in the studio again soon to record another seven songs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
