Hello, big lips!
They are excellent! Ocean is my fave. What are your plans for release? Do you have label representation?
- vespa0
yay thanks MrOneHundred!
well we are little bit behind schedule because we had to get a new guitarist at the start, but found the perfect one within a week and a half so that's all positive.
were hoping to self release in November but I'm wondering if we should wait till Jan? Seeing as December sucks. seems so far away tho! I've got to get the video done about 2 months before the release so might have to be...
- MrOneHundred0
My advice, if you want it is to wait until Jan/Feb, if only because of the stocking-filler release schedule and the fact that that tends to dominate the music press. Also the music writers are all on the downhill to Christmas (presuming you are interested in that kind of PR, of course).

yea i've heard similar advice before re december, god it just seems so far away! but not if i have to do a video, don't want to do it in a stupid stressful timeframe...
thanks for the advice

i like ocean the most. the part with the guitar solo is quite lovely especially. but it might not be the upbeat kind of song bands usually make videos for when releasing an album.
best of luck with the video!

Hey vespa, do you do your own cover art, or do you get an outsider to do it?
- vespa0
sorry to keep bumping but i can't be arsed with the tiny comments boxes.
hey mronehundred, yea i do the cover art, mainly cos i'm the only person who'd be willing to put in all that time for nothing and keep it consistent with the rest of the style etc

I managed to listen this morning vespa. Quite different from your previous efforts... but thus far I like it.
I think your instinct to do Stars is right... but I'm not sure it's typical single material. Tough choice...

again & again is my favorite.. I agree with what was said that these tracks show you're taking your music in another direction. It's tacky to say, but it sounds more mature.

very good. Reminds me of 4 non blondes meets hmm ... stereo lab!
- smellvetica0
Superb stuff as per usual. :)

I've thought about it for awhile and it has to be To the Stars.
