Thank you, thatā€™s really helpful, I really appreciate you taking the time to listen & feedback. :slightly_smiling_face:

Iā€™ve been thinking indie pop acoustic coffeehouse? Somewhere in there but not quite sure the best way to categorize it. :sweat_smile:
I prefer my home recording to my released album though.

Donā€™t know any sound alike though

Hey! I can definitely hear elements of grunge/post grunge and alternative rock (some biffy/queens of the stone age vibes!)

What are your thoughts?

Hey there!

Weā€™ve been labeling our music as ā€œProgressive Nu-Metalā€, checking different bands and their wikipages to see what they have been labeled as, and used that info to categorize ourselfs.

Hereā€™s the link for spotify:

What do you guys say? Is this accurate? If not, what would you suggest?

Cheers,

Thanks for the input Damian. I havenā€™t listenened to queens of stone age that much, but I will check them out a bit more then. Also never heard of ā€œBiffyā€ is that an act you mean or a word you use to describe it with? I found ā€œBiffy Clyroā€ on Spotify, is that what you mean?

Havenā€™t thought about checking for post grunge. I am definately inspired by Nirvana for example, but itā€™s good to find bands that are actually still active :slight_smile:

Our main influences as a whole is: ( not that it can all be heard in just this one song)

metallica, oasis, rem, weezer, blur, hellacopters, nirvana, dream theater and yesā€¦

but nice to hear some descriptions from other people of what is actually coming out of that melting pot
we are currently thinking about describing it as progressive pop/rock. but at the same time we donā€™t have that typical 70ish sound. but sound rather 90ish.

Hey!

Ahh interesting! Yeah Biffy Clyro is what I mean - not the whole style, just a couple of parts that made me think of them :slight_smile:

Hey everyone,

I know genre wise I fall under dance/electronic. But I still struggle sometimes when asked what other artists I sound like.

Hereā€™s a link to my Spotify:

Iā€™m also finding it a little difficult to find my tribe.
Iā€™m thinking Iā€™m more in the New Age genre than World Music but would like your guys opinion. thank you

Hey Steve!

Hereā€™s a questionā€¦ if you were to go on tour, who would you go on tour with?

Iā€™d say New Age is a great shout

I dig it. I love writing in 7/4 too. As unique as your music is, surely you have influences though, nothing exists in a vacuum. Even if theyā€™re loose try to dig up the info on those artists and go from there!

I get a bit of soul coughing and a bit of pearl jam from this, maybe a bit of minus the bear. your drummer is a monster.

#38

I feel like you should try targeting massage therapists. just a hunch. could be worth testing as an audience.

Thanks Elbrycen, never heard of those bands except Pearl Jam, I will check them out!
Also glad you like the drumming, Iā€™m on both vocals and drums. Yep, one of the fewā€¦

Whatā€™s the name of your project?

Iā€™m in Golden Plates

I think youā€™ll really dig Minus the Bear if you havenā€™t heard them.
