Common Nonsense (my band)

I'm in a band!

At the moment we've got me on keyboard and vocals and two other people on vocals, but meh, it works. (I really need a drummer, but they're few and far between where I live, and all the ones I've asked have refused.)

We have written one song (we're filming the video for that today) and are in the process of writing a few more.

If anybody is interested, I'll post the music video for the song we have written once we've filmed and edited.

“Thinking of world domination makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.”

Cool!

I've been listening to…
Ogre Battle // Queen // Queen II // Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Progressive Metal
Orion // Metallica // Master of Puppets // Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Instrumental
Damage Inc. // Metallica// Master of Puppets // Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal
Snow (Hey Oh) // Red Hot Chilli Peppers // Snow (Hey Oh) // Soft Rock, Acoustic
Who Wants To Live Forever // Queen // A Kind of Magic // Power Ballad, Soft Rock
I suggest you listen to…
For a influential playlist: Damage Inc and Orion. Both of these songs are part of the album that revolutionized heavy and thrash metal forever.

Sorry for the delay. I forgot I posted this here.



I apologize for the horrendous audio quality. I need to get myself a better microphone.

I like the song
And I think the problem with the video will get better to more experience one gets with filming…

(I also apologize for the shaky camera in the video, though that problem will be harder to fix.)
Wow, that sounds pretty nice. The piano seems a bit inconsistent and there's awkward silences in the song, though.

Capsicum annuum.

I really like this
the audio quality yeah
but I like the progressions

just one question though: why did you change to a minor chord while you sing “you're right beside me”?

Cool song and video, I think the vocals shouldn't be so high pitched though.

Thanks. That's my comfortable range. I asked the other vocalist whether she wanted to change keys, but she said she didn't. I do agree it sounded a bit high for her.

Yeah, that was mostly me messing up. We would have done another recording, but we'd spent most of the day attempting to record anyway so the other vocalist was like “ENOUGH.”

I like that chord.

If anybody wants the lyrics, I'll post them.

Amazing song!

The transition from 1:30 to 1:33 is kinda strange, and more depth would be suggested (Drums as you said, etc.)

Otherwise, nice!

(EDIT: Also, the piano is too loud and overshadows the vocals a few times. )

I heard you and the other vocalist get out of sync for a second. That, or you two sing at completely different pitches and for some reason I hear both.
2:00 is one example.

Yeah, that happened a few times.
