Have been drilling this site to get Red Sky more visible to the mythical casual local band seeker. Which entails an incestuous round of "fanning" other bands so they "fan" us back. Decided it would reek less if I actually listened to the other local bands rated around the same as us and fanned ones that had something to them.
So, an observation: these days many bands can get a studio recording together that sounds pretty decent. But like in photography, there are details that set apart the pros from the "Pro Tools" wannabees. In particular, weirdly clean vocals is a giveaway. Crystal-clear vocals sung at a moderate volume over a raucous psycho-billy rant.
I hope I remember this little detail when it becomes our turn to record - if we ever bother. Playing live is where its at, and I would rather sound good live and via a live recording than zip up in the mental bunny suit that comes with a recording session.
Anyway, here's an example. Don't feel bad - you will be helping their stats by listening : )
