Why does everyone jump to the conclusion that I have no intentions of playing shows, making real friends, and trying to become an "internet buzz band"? When I hear of a band mentioned in the context of another band, or see a name on a show flyer with other local/regional/touring bands that I know I ...

Which websites or social networks are effective for bands

There seems to be so...

Didnt mean to sound like I was assigning blame, rather just posting a cautionary tale. I would return it, but would rather not be without it! Im sure it will get manhandled anyway. Just in time for Vol III!

When people these days make the deliberate decision to go lo fi, it's like they're putting an expiration date on some of the emotional relevance of the recording. Same with all this Autotuned hip hop shit. It's awful. = Justin +1. It seems the older I get the more I listen to things I used to like ...
