EDIT: I loved the dudes in Thee Armada. Josh you were an awesome dude so I'm sorry. But bands should have to pay some dues. This is the exact kind of crap that I not only can't support, but I fight against it. And what is Billy Corgan thinking? Doesn't he have a code of ethics? There is no integrity left in the music scene.

Imagine you actually did something with your band for 3+ years.
Now imagine that coming to an end and you changing direction. If you were good enough during those 3 years you still have the support of the people around you and can therefore take it to the next level.

I'd understand how you can't see having industry support as being something viable, but come back after 3 years of struggling and you'll understand. Hard work pays off.

Very excited by these guys sound. Cant wait for this

I Hear Homos!

Dude chill out. They do sound like a pile of suck to me, but they were all in previous bands that "paid their dues" which in no way is required anyway.

Is this the same exact band?(powerspace)

These guys deserve to be SUPPORTED, because unlike way too many artists these days, these are pure musicians - all of whom can run musical circles around 90% of the guys in bands posted on this site. They've put years into becoming great players, and they've stuck to their guns, made a killer album, and now are getting some much deserved respect. Good for them!

He's just bitter about any band that has any kind of success.

so what kind of music is this? and what members from what bands?

How this violates any sort of ethical code is completely beyond me.

Bands pay dues, not the people in them.

The band doesn't have any success yet.

I was in a band that did pretty well for 3 years. Had as much if not more success than both of these bands. We broke up. I came back, started something new, and I'm happy to struggle it out again.

Get over yourself bro. These guys are making a bold statement with a sound like this in this day and age, and they have the talent to back it up. It's a bit out there, but in a good way...I wish more bands were this original.

love it! auto-tune is dead and the labels are back signing real vocals ;)
