why do bands wait to get signed before they release a new album?
be prepared to show off your talents...if any

The singer has some pipes, and some of the guitar parts are intricate enough to hold my attention, but like the majority here, I'm seriously getting tired of bands like this popping up constantly. And seven members in the band will be their downfall unless they get rid of one or two.

i am so sick of the state of heavy 'underground' music. i could write a fucking book.

broadway isn't actually that bad, they put on a sick live show.

Who the hell covers Ke$ha? Horrible.

not that bad, but they sound like every other band in this "genre."

oh big surprise that there's a breakdown during the ke$ha cover too.

oh wow, they changed their layout. Sons of Nero always has awesome designs.

I can definitely respect that they at least didn't put the Ke$ha cover as the top song on their page.
The music isn't bad at all :) Just isn't very different then whats around. Sounds like if Of Machines guitars/We Came As Romans screaming had a baby.

the screams sound..exactly like we came as romans

lol, jinx

*face palm*. For every decent band they sign, there are 5 terrible ones.

Also, so fucking sick of these bands covering top 40 songs. They know if they don't write any decent music, but do a "hardcore" cover of a popular song, they'll get big way quicker, and get signed. And it fucking works, and I wish it didn't.

Really they don't sound that bad

Go check out Pianos Become The Teeth, Touche Amore, La Dispute, Octaves, and Periphery. Those bands are full of awesomeness. They've given me a breath of life in this decaying scene.

lol at of machines drummer

I don't mind them. I didn't bother listening to the Kesha cover though.

Pianos Become The Teeth sounds amazing. Thanks for showing me them. Good stuff, has that old As Cities Burns feeling to it. Something I don't understand, is why does everyone like this kind of music now? I want to say TDWP started it all, and I really respect TDWP, they make some good music and put on very energetic shows. But now I see everyone listening to these to this style of pop hardcore music and I don't understand why. I will agree it all sounds like a Rise Records band, and I used to like them until they started signing all of these bands that sound like TDWP and Breathe Carolina. I mean, keep 1 band, not something that sounds the same, but I guess it's whatever makes them money. Quick question, what on earth do all these kids see in TDWP. I can't go to any mall without seeing someone wearing a TDWP shirt, or a Myspace without having someone's name say "Dood, Rulez, or Wears Prada". I mean TDWP has some pretty smart lyrics, imagery lyrics IMO, so what on earth do these scene kids see? I know they can't relate to the lyrics, no way. I like TDWP, but I can't stand their fanbase.
