Online independant reviews.

auto-aim · 10.01.2008, 06:52 PM

Hi, I know a lot of you here are creative people and I'm sure some run blogs and whatnot but I was wondering if anyone knew some sources where I can get my bands demo reviewed online? Or if anyone would care to review it themselves... ?

welcome to the party

auto-aim · 10.02.2008, 07:31 AM

no then?

blunderbuss · 10.02.2008, 07:36 AM

What's your genre? (sorry to ask, but it may be relevant)

greedrex · 10.02.2008, 08:07 AM

SYRfox and Everyneurotic have blogs with reviews online.

greedrex · 10.02.2008, 08:10 AM

this is autoaim's band myspace

(i think)

auto-aim · 10.02.2008, 08:48 AM

yep that's right. space invaders is off the demo... it doesnt really capture what we're doing live but it's a self recorded first bloom. We're kind of like early pumpkins and dino jr cross bred with sonic youth noise and pop. There's one track on the demo that reminds me of david bowies low. but we're mostly beholden to that grunge sound i guess.

I wish I knew somebody outta there myself. Searching around isn't super helpful, either... I tried, but it's no easy task...

SYRFox · 10.02.2008, 12:02 PM

I could review it for you, but I write in french... Anyway, here's my blog if you wanna see what bands we talked about (and maybe google can translate it more or less accurately): http://syrfox.wordpress.com
We are a little team of 3 people, we had around 5000 views in the last months, which is not that big, but we're happy with it

Unfortunately we don't have stats on readers, only stats on views... I guess there's not that much casual readers, but I think 5000 views are rather fine

Derek · 10.02.2008, 01:30 PM

That's not too much, my myspace page has more views than that

SYRFox · 10.02.2008, 01:46 PM

Yeah I know it's not a lot, still I'm rather happy with it, as we're generally talking about bands that are not really interesting a lot of people (by a lot of people I mean grand public, at least in France, which is different as grand public in USA), and as we're talking about it in French, not in English...

I'm up for that, it'd be a pleasure in fact if you're willing to accept it in an e-mail or rapidshare. PM your address if you're still interested.
