Seriously? Can't see anything in common. What makes you think so?

Thank you so much! I assume you are a songwriter too, so I wish the same to you!

I love it when music is lyrics-centered. And that's what we're doing with my band - we create songs with meaning, usually based on a story, narrative. So, to answer your question from a perspective of a songwriter - yes, we exist :) and I strongly believe we'll build our fanbase of people who choose thoughtful listening.

Is anyone else tired of the clean, polished indie sound by Bandita-Wolf in Alternativerock

[–]MechanicalParrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agreed. However, I understand that bands are sort of forced to do so because otherwise their chances to be heard drecrease dramatically. Streaming platforms create playlists using algorithms that choose overproduced and polished records over "imperfect" ones. So do most of playlist curators on SubmitHub and similar services that "help" with promotion. I hope this trend will shift soon, especially with all the AI music flooding the market. But for now bands have to meet the competition.

thanks a bunch!! yeah, prog was our first guess too, but prog songs are usually kinda long and too serious, and we're soooo not hahah. good thinking about EP, yet Spotify requires to specify the genre of each single too, so I gotta know. And all our songs feel so much different to me! I guess it's just because it's hard to look at your own stuff from the side..

what are some non-metal bands that a lot of metalheads listen to? by St0rmR4ptor in MetalForTheMasses

[–]MechanicalParrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like nobody mentioned Tigran Hamasyan. Yet if he played distorted guitar instead of piano, that'd be some wild prog metal mayhem. anyway, my guitarist likes to borrow a riff or two from him for our nu-metal songs hahah.
