Hmmmm, Rock/hip hop/experimental. I have no idea what genre to put my band in. we are a bit of everything. When we play live we tend to be a bit heavier. Have a listen if you want.

Well, my previous responses are now horribly outdated. I’m in a much better band at the moment, we do essentially do whatever seems like a good idea at the time. We have on tune recorded, but we’re going to record an EP within a month or two. And for the record, our singer is white as hell.

I like that very much. :thumb:

punk, garage rock, blues, folk, indie, and noise rock, i used to play only metal

good, i find you get out more energy that way, in your body, not just your fingers

I play a lot of Grunge/Blues/Alternative/Punk type stuff. Like a mixture of Smashing Pumpkins(Main Influence, but only Gish/SD era), The White Stripes(I dig the bluesy over the top fuzz), Nirvana and Rancid. It is what feels most natural to me, maybe because that was the music of my teens.

But…I play a lot of nu-metal/lame/whiny crap too. Unfortunately, if I want to play with my group of friends in a band situation, this is what I have to do. Not really my cup of tea, but it is a good time to get together with friends. Bullet For My Valentine type stuff is probably the most tolerable for me.

RANT ON**
Flame away if you guys want, but when I play metal, I think we should be singing about tough things. Things like war blowing arms of and demons coming from hell to conquer humanity. I am a little bothered by some music that sounds like good heavy metal, until you realize the guy is singing about being depressed over his girlfriend dumping him. Hell, I’m divorced after a long crappy marriage, but I realized real quick how awesome it was, because now I have twice as much money to spend on gear! I am not going to sing about the darkest depths of my sorrow. I mean grow a pair. You are shredding like the late Mr. Abbott, but whining at the same time??? I just don’t get it.
RANT OFF**

Anyways…sorry for the rant.

Jazz/Grunge/Spacerock/Post-Rock/Funk Yup.
