Talking For those about to rock...

Hey
Here's a shameless free plug hehehehe.....
Check out my band's dodgy Myspace site, its

www.myspace.com/wisegents

Theres a couple of MP3s you can listen to, they sound a lot better on CD on a stereo however, and keep in mind they were recorded in the guitarists bedroom and back porch!

Pretty good mate. Id definately come see you blokes play. And more then once too. As long as it was at a pub so i could have a beer too :P

I love "Need a ride" awesome song. Very acdc and good time rock as you blokes put it.

Dammit this makes me wanna gig even more now. "Get the old band back together!" (stolen from blues brothers but it is true) and go play at some pubs and have fun. Nothin better than bein on stage and playin. Good rush.

So I went to your site, and had a listen.....

Good Riffs, , well done on catching the rather simple 3-4 chords.. It sounds good !

Can the vocals be lowered ( octave ) a bit ?

There is a good pub rock sound there, , stick to the music, dont worry about extra rubbish that some people think is needed to get more attention...

I can definatley hear the Living End, , and some Offspring, , but AC/DC in there ? ? ? hmm, , maybe the chord work !


How old are you guys !

Regards

Craig

Thanks guys for your support. Hey Dave, dunno where that Lee Harding thing came from, we can actually write our own music, and emo punk? Maybe you can hear a bit of those influences but we definitely don't consider ourselves an emo / punk band in the vein of Thrice, From First To Last, Thursday etc.

Craig, that is one thing about Murray's voice - you either love it or hate it because its fairly unique - makes it easier to play the Darkness! We are aged 18, 19 and 20 and have been together for about 18 months.

Haha, mate it was completely off topic and just a tease, I noticed underneath your avatar it says your a Lee harding hater, so away I went : .

Other than that mate, sounds really good. Thumbs up.

Very nice mate, I too would get one of your albums too, nothing like good old rock compared to some of the shyte that comes out today

I can hear some Bon Scott in the vocalist, and there is some nice guitar and drum work too

Hahaha that's ok Dave - just a bit used to footy heads at our gigs requesting "Wasabi!" & "Khe Sanh!" lol.

If anyone wants a copy of our EP we have them for sale for $5 each - if you want one send me a PM and I can organise one for you.
Cheers
