Poison The Well Speak About Their Leaked Demos

[Jon Foucart]

I have posted Poison The Well's (http://www.poisonthewell.com) response to having their demos recently leak.
PTW DEMOS ON THE INTERNET...
So, I guess some of our old demos leaked out on the internet some how. Just to give a brief history on them, those where the first songs we had wrote when we started writing for the new record and where the first songs we wrote with Jason and Ben in the mix. Some of the songs where incomplete vocally and the very early stages of maturity. We did them about a year and 2 months ago at this place called the Steakhouse. The quality isn't the best, but you get the idea. Not all the songs are going to be used for the record, just some. So, if you happen to come across them, don't think that they are the final versions or songs that will make the cut.

Love,
PTW
PS-I'm sure you can find them on Limewire or any type of file trading program

[NationalProduct]

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Regardless, the demos are still awesome. I can't wait for the next PTW album.

Azureus!True but thats a torrent P2P it's not the same thing.

[snowtires]

this is completely unrelated, but did anyone know that the one guitar player from poison the well was dating maura from denali/ambulette for a decent amount of time? lucky bastard.

thats cool, i am glad bands are allowing people to get there demos. for example:
Thursday (new cd), Fall of Troy (ghostship demos), and Posion the well. Awesome.

Ghostship Demos were sold at gigs in 2004 I think

soulseek.

Yeah, soulseek, because waiting an hour to download a single song that will be impossible to find from a single user is AWESOME.
Limewire is much better if you want just one song. It's hard to find single songs on soulseek, you can only download from one person at once, it isn't good if you want the song straight away etc
I love soulseek and all but it's complete bollocks at finding stuff that thousands of people don't have.

[ChadKnight]

one person at once? we must have a different slsk. anyway this is my screen name there so feel free to add me.

i like soulseek because i can download entire albums, and all of the songs are generally the same quality. i have ocd. :)

The demos were awesome and I have no doubt that the songs they use will be way better.

[Gaurdrail]

this band has gotten so much worse from opposites of december. i think its time they call it quits

How can you even say that? Tear From The Red might possibly have been BETTER than OOD, and the last one wasn't half bad either. They are still a great abnd and i'm gonna go check out those demos.

tear from the red sucked some big ol' donkey dick.

[LiquidHeaven]

The last song on the demos was the best one. Too bad it was the shortest.

you make it sound like you lost respect for them in the first place?

[Isolated]

haha, seriously. that guy most not be using the real slsk or something. slsk is the greatest music sharing software ever. i can find what i'm looking for on soulseek 95% of the time. the other 5% i use bitlord.
Okay, let me rephrase what I said for people who didn't find it obvious.
You can only download a file from one person. Limewire allows multiple connections for the same file, soulseek does not because it's just not made that way.
Maybe you download stuff that is really popular then, because there's been loads of shit I've never found on soulseek (things I searched for a million times and even had in my wishlist) but then I've found them instantly on Limewire.
Soulseek is good for downloading whole albums. Limewire is good for downloading single hard to find songs.
