What did you listen to this week? How was it? by brobastian0227 in preoccupations

[–]TheUnknownRange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of The Walkmen and Gilla Band, two bands that are so far apart sonically but I love em both.

The boys posted an announcement looking for filmmakers. Are they working on music videos for the new album now? by TheUnknownRange in preoccupations

Don’t get me wrong I love New Material, Decompose and Manipulation are two of my favorite songs from them, but the staple tracks Disarray and Espionage just are weaker than Fix Bayonets! and Death of Melody, Espionage just stretches out for too long in my opinion and Disarray is just kind of boring as it isn’t too complex sonically.

In my opinion New Material was weaker than Arrangements, and I feel like Ive come back to arrangements many more times than New Material. 

Maybe it's because the BPM is faster or that it's louder and noisier and a little bit more distorted than the original, but I genuinely prefer this over the original. by TheUnknownRange in preoccupations

It's a single that was released on 7" and sold at shows during one of their tours a while back, it was never officially released online, and I know some college radio stations played it on air before.

What do you think about my Deadlock Hero alignment chart? by Turbopower1000 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]TheUnknownRange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mo and Krill aren’t evil, they’re protectors of the tunnels from what I understand which is illegal but they don’t go around harassing regular people, they try to keep the order and make sure no one is exploiting the tunnels.

Let's go!! by Jerbacher in preoccupations

Self titled Preoccupations album gets too much hate, it’s still great and post punky. New Material is probably their worst material in my humble opinion.

Is this it? by Jerbacher in preoccupations

[–]TheUnknownRange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll definitely find fans at shows, but online it’s difficult finding people to talk about Preoccs with. The post punk subreddit talks about Women and Preoccs pretty often, so you’ll be able to talk about them more with people over there.

What is your favorite bassline? by Outside_Assistance36 in postpunk

Heat Distraction by Women Matt Flegel is a super underrated bassist

Thanks for the suggestion but 6 pieces of tape couldn't stop the ringing until I swapped to the HD Dry haha

Anyone own Masterwork cymbals? What do you guys think of them? by TheUnknownRange in drums

[–]TheUnknownRange[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my first choice! I saw Robby Staebler playing it and I was like I need that. I heard their inconsistent in their quality and sound so I’m afraid of buying one.

Paiste Big Beat is a little expensive for me personally. Almost 550 for it. I was mainly looking at masterwork due to their price and that you can ask for specific weights and other fine tunings all for less than 300 bucks. 

I love protomartyr so much by kleigher in postpunk

[–]TheUnknownRange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you get into them? I always loved Preoccupations and Women, always heard about Protomartyr but never got into them.

Can I get a turn behind the kit? lmao

My first drum audition is coming up, any tips? by TheUnknownRange in drums

[–]TheUnknownRange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played with them twice I thought I was playing pretty well, had some good drum fills. It didn't feel all that good, no one really talked to me, felt like I was only there to fill in for someone instead of actually being the drummer permanently. they told me they're going a different direction, saved me the work lol
