Rimskidog Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 My new year's resolution this year was to give a bit back. As a result I decided that during the course of the year I'd take on 4 unsigned bands that I thought had some great material but not the savvy and try and help them get a deal, first by recording/mixing and producing them myself during downtime and second by shopping them around some of my contacts. The first band I did is called "The Low Orders". We had their debut EP mastered at Abbey Road yesterday. Here's a link to their page: www.myspace.com/theloworders (I did the first three songs listed ie not Mardy Wife). Let me know what you think!

Its sounds like 1996 meets the arctic monkeys. i think that ship has sailed. it's not very tight either. Living in Manchester i hear this kind of band everyday. production is quite good tho. But there is a thing on your topic that says you can't polish a turd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaphappygarry Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Lord Sausage, Don't mince your words, feel free to say exactly what you feel and don't feel you have the thinly veil it in pleasantries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaphappygarry Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hey Trev, Any chance in a decent mp3? I could only hack about 10 seconds on Myspace before closing the window. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know these guys fill their gigs so they must be doing something right. Appreciate your honesty though. (and as an aside as the production's the only bit I'm responsible for I'll take 'quite good' as a complement from a critic such as yourself ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they plan to release it digitally so can let you know when they do if that's of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha. i just thought you wanted an opinion and i hate it when people are just kind about stuff when you know they don't like it. Plus i'm so critical of my own stuff. i think criticism, if valid improves work. i only said quite good for production cos can't fullly tell cos my speakers are a bit sh*t!

cheddatom Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Good on you for helping bands out! I did a couple of albums for free last years (but they were turd polishers) and i'd like to do more, just to get experience, and hopefully to help people. Obviously i'm no where near your standard yet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 3 of Clubs for them last year. You can hear it here: [url="http://www.myspace.com/thesmokingkillsuk"]http://www.myspace.com/thesmokingkillsuk[/url]. Have you come across them? I think they have a really cool vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
