Hello. I have followed various discussions on this forum for some time now and today I decided, that it's time for me to join in.
hi there so many new people here today it's nice welcome aboard illeboy, what's your favorite punk band .
Well I've gotta say you've got great taste! I've just been listening to Uutuus and they're just fucking SICK! \m/
Thank's for the warm welcome guys. I don't know if it's just because it's my native language, but I think that finnish fits well to HC.
Check out my own band Neitseelliset Sikiöt. Actually, there hasn't been any other members beside me for years now. So this is more like my solo project.
Really?? How do you manage to do that on your own? It's fucking excellent! Good old 8o's style finnish HC. I really like it! Do you have any more stuff? Virgin Fetuses? Haha
The other guys at the band were too pussy to play punk, so I was left alone. But I kept writing the songs alone and two friends of mine helped me with the recording and mixing. The other one of them also played the drum tracks since I kinda suck at drums... I played all the other instruments and did the vocals too. Unfortunately, those 3 songs are the only ones recorded.
That's a real pity that they left, it's hard to comprehend. Were they not really into punk to begin with? But I commend you for carrying on despite that! It really seems worthwhile and I hope you find some people who think so too so you can play some gigs, etc. I'm sure there are lots of people who are dying to join a band but unfortunately none in your area? Whereabouts in Finland do you live if you don;t mind me asking? It's a really good recording quality too, btw
They were more into metal and one guy moved away to study. And that's okay. I still jam with those guys occasionally. This whole project has become so personal, that I wanna keep writing the songs alone. It would be awesome to find some session musicians to play some gigs with. Back when we formed the band it was really hard find anybody who was into HC and the situation is still the same. And for the last couple years, I also have been on the move, so I really haven't even looked for new members. The quality is pretty good eventhough the recording was done in our rehearsal-place. Maybe even too good.
Yeah, "that ain't punk", the quality's too good. Which is your instrument of choice, besides drums cos you seem equally good at the others, including vocals. I'm guessing that that might be your dilemma and presumably the reason you'd prefer to go it alone?
I'm equally BAD with everything I play... Guitar is my main instrument, but if this band would perform live, then I would do the vocals.
Haha, that's what they all say, but from a listener's perspective both instruments sound really good. Or you could do both: lead + voc or bass + voc. Shit, I'm pretty sure I've even seen a band once where the drummer was the vocalist. That must surely be the most difficult combo. But yeah, if you do only one thing, you should definitely do the vocals!
Absolutely.! How is the finnish punk scene doing these days by the way? Has it grown or is it declining?
