Righto, I've just started a new band after my last band fell to pieces in a very rock and roll fashion - I won't go into detail here.

Upshot of it is that my new band (Hell's Teeth)has been together for about six weeks and we've signed up to Road to V (festival). Winning band opens V festival.

Head on over to http://roadtov.com/artists/hells-teeth/ and have a listen. If you like what you hear then become a fan, add a comment or whatever.

If I get big and famous I'll buy you a drink.

Honest opinion................

Not bad at all mate thumbup . I like it. Holding On my fave. Reminds me a lot of Celestial Season, circa the Orange album. A bit of stoner rock, Kyuss and Pearl Jam all rolled into one.

Just out of interest, how did you record your demo?

Home studio into Cubase SX4 and then final master with Sound Forge.

All in all we worked it out to about 24h work when you take into accound recording mixing and mastering. We're not 100% happy, but then I guess you never are. We only heard about road to V very late, in an ideal world we would've taken a couple more days to fine tune the recording, but it was nice not having to worry about the clock in terms of £££.

Our mantra is to get the sound right from the source to minimise the ammount of fannying around at the mixing and mastering stages.

Glad you're a fan - I've got a good feeling about this band.

Overall the reocrding sounds pretty good to me, bearing in mind the contraints you were under.

I know what you mean about never quite being happy with a recording . I am into and play the same type of music as you, albeit the slightly more heavier side. I record a lot using Cubase, and just never seem to be 100% happy with it. You can spend weeks/months tinkering if you are not careful, but then you loose the 'feel' of the music if you over do it.

But saying that, when i used to be in bands and recording demos, we always tried to do things in a day (due to budget mainly) and it was never enough. I listen to my old demos, and think 'if only we tidied that bit up' or 'if only we did that bit differently'

Good luck with the V thing
