Does what it says on the tin!


I am pleased to announce that my band has now got some choons up online for your aural delight (or discomfort...). So head on over to http://www.facebook.com/Voidstateband for a taste of things to come, and don't forget to 'like' the page to keep up to date with the project. Theres plenty more coming soon!


I'd love to know what you guys think of the choons, so please do feel free to leave some comments, and if you happen to like what you hear then spread the word far and wide!


Cheers,


Andy

Wow, I thought choons was saying something else entirely...

heheh

So what are choons when they're down-under then?

You mean what I thought 'choons' actually said or what choons actually mean in Aus?

Love the epic feel of "Again", slightly too far towards the electronica end rather than the metal, but you sound as though you have a great deal of potential and a very deep, brooding sound...very nice...so much so that it earned you another "like".

Either! Assuming it's safe to repeat on a friendly forum like Dakka?

Well, choon (-h) can both refer to a particular skin colour or, more popular, a brand of cheese.

I really like again and i'm not usualy a fan of this type of music.

Not to my taste, sorry. However, it's very well executed, and the production is crisp. It's a good example of the genre, it's just not a genre I like.

I hope you do well though, and wish you guys the best of luck.

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate you taking the time to reply, especially if it's not really your thing!

Cheers.

Good gak It'll go on a play list or two for me easily. Hard to find music that's really polished but still has the driving feel and element to it.

Edit: Kind of a good summary for me, this is the kind of music that I love to BDSM to. It captures both aggression and beauty which sort of sums up what's going on. Feel free to do whatever you like with that little tidbit

Stay creepy, Cannerus!

To quote the radio: "I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it" :d

Nice sound, lots of energy. I like.

Best endorsement, ever.

Why thank you kind sir.

Not my kind of music. But as mentioned it sounded like it was done well enough. Its shocking hearing so many foklks on DAKKA that are good musicians. Im used to hearing people around where I live say that and they are terrible

I'm like #65 XD

You guys are pretty cool, and I see good things in your future. Good luck

Thanks for listening guys.

We've got or first gig today under the new name at the Gwydir Street Party in Cambridge UK.

Assuming the weather holds out, it's gonna be an awesome day. So if yer in the area, get yerself juiced and come check out the show!

Righty ho then, the next tune from the bands upcoming debut album is now up online as yet another full length preview! Arn't we good to you lot?

'Whole' is one of my personal faves that's just begging to be turned up and sing your heart out too. There be some seriously good euphoric pop hooks to uplift your spirits. A great driving song thats been on repeat all day here!

So if you havent already, come along to http://www.facebook.com/Voidstateband and like the page to keep up to date with all the latest goings on.

Cheers guys!

Just started listening, but DAMN is the beginning of Whole epic. The first 1:20, I mean.

heh Cheers Slarg!

It is a bit, ain't it? This is the short version too. Thanks for listening mate. You enjoy the others too, I hope?

I'm not too fond of the vocals [especially the half done screamo backing vocals] but the music itself is fantastic.

Though it does go on for a bit and is a touch... samey.

I'm a total metal head.
I like Electronica.
I love industrial.

But, I don't like it. I'm sorry. I find myself trying to like it, but it just sounds like you've layered two tracks over one another. The Electronic and metal parts just seem to be too different to work.

On the upside, both parts are good. I just don't like them together.

I'm no music man (yet), but I think the background singer needs to maybe be a little quieter; in I Am he almost overpowers your lead singer, which is bad, in my humble opinion.

Edit: But I do like it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys.

And no need to apologise, we're all entitled to our opinions, and if we all thought the same then the world would be a very dull place indeed.

Thanks!

Edit- BTW I do also agree about the comments re: backing vox in 'I Am..'. I would bore you all to death though if I was to list all the things that I could criticise about the tunes.

Not bad, I'd listen to more of this.

Out of interest, what do you do in the band?

Cheers Mike.

To answer your question, I wrote, performed and recorded everything you hear on these tracks. Umm, except the female vocals obviously!
For our live performances I play guitar and do the male vox.

Had a great time at the weekend, which was well earned, and needed too after the gak week i've had.

It's always funny seeing the response from the 'normals' at this sort of gig, but we converted some at least, and we even got Wickhamstock's first ever mosh pit going (much to the bemusement of the land owner, who shuffled over to tell the throwdown hoodlums to be careful of the little'uns I believe. They carried on anyway )

We were saluted by the organiser by being described as "the most creative band they've ever had at the festival", "other-worldly", and "from another parallel dimension" or something. Yeah, he was as drunk at the time... Still, I thought that was a pretty amicable way of saying 'WTF just happened!'

Oh and as far as I know, unlike the last family-friendly festival we played, I didn't make any kids cry with those dinosaur noises this time. Hrmm... nevermind.

Pics!

Had a meeting yesterday, and if all goes according to plan with future discussions we will have a promotion/marketing/distribution deal on the cards!

Not bad for just over a month of online exposure! Woot!

Could you post some songs onto the forum or a link to youtube? I can't work facebook at all.

By the way, its tunes or TCHUUUUNES. Choon, is something else all together.
