Help Us Find A Label for Our EP[views:4672][posts:43]_________________________________________________ [Nov 10,2004 2:16am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] We are hoping to find a label to back this CD. Mostly we want help paying for it, since we're all broke. Any suggestions? this is us, for those who don't know: The Taste of Silver Arlington, MA sounds like: stuff genre: you pick www.thetasteofsilver.com we play whatever. we're not really one style of band. we play out constantly, work our asses off, and tour like the dickens. feel free to point us out to friends with labels. We're fairly picky about what we commit to in an agreement...we don't want anything big (nor expect that! it's our first real release as a band!) but we would like a fair deal...smaller labels a plus. suggestions? |
| _________________________________________________ [Nov 10,2004 2:17am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] oh PS - we already have it recorded and mastered. All that's left is duplication; pressing if we do vinyl |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 10,2004 9:05am - blue nli ""] level plane? |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 10,2004 9:06am - blue nli ""] level plane? |
| _________________________________________________ [Nov 19,2004 1:47pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] sent one out to Level Plane and OneOhFive. who else is worth a shot? That would actually be ready to do something with us? |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 19,2004 3:09pm - subjugate ""] METAL BLADE, RELAPSE, NUCLEAR BLAST & EARACHE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
| _________________________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 1:17am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] none of those labels seem right for us. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 1:24am - CongoogetalZobotomy ""] anyone of those awful emo/metalcore labels they seem to suit your band |
| _________________________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 1:29am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] maybe we should just write the same song 100 times, and then pick a really trite band name. Got any suggestions? I hear you're a pro at both. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 2:37am - attendmyrequiem ""] Um... all i can think of right now is No Idea records. the label that combatwoundedveteran were on. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 3:56am - attendmyrequiem ""] also try: Magic Bullet, Happy Couples Never Last, Perpetual Motion Machine, or Reptillian |

Got any suggestions? I hear you're a pro at both. learn the meaning of words before you try to use them to sound intelligent. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 3:23pm - BornSoVile ""] good luck with this! |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 7:52pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Help yourself find a label, mr.bombastic |
| ________________________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 8:41pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] for you guys i'd say Trustkill, would be looking or Eulogy would be good places to start. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 8:42pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] haha, yeah start at the top. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 8:44pm - attendmyrequiem ""] dugoxistance said:learn the meaning of words before you try to use them to sound intelligent. um there were no words misused there. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 9:57pm - dugoxistance ""] obviously you don't know what trite means either. a band name like disgorge is trite. a band name with corpse in it is trite. or anal. catching on there sparky? |

OMG everything on there bites these days. Eulogy has had some good stuff in the past...but we're looking for something a little more open minded and experimental. :nuke::thescream: |

| ______________________________________________ [Nov 21,2004 12:47am - CongoogetalZobotomy ""] maybe you two should go have sex with each other faggots.... also, your band is awful |

Thus there being only one no overuse of a band name. Simple really. It's a shame you didn't catch on. And here's my news flash, 98% of metal bands out there are not that original anymore . . . including BoE and TOS and anything you would ever think to conceive. Don't worry, we aren't heartbroken. We know we aren't original; we just have fun don't take ourselves that serious and don't pretend to be something we are not or better than we actually are. And I got the point of his post. He was trying to be a funny tough guy, and like your attempt, it didn't work. I know you were only defending your boyfriend in the heat of passion, but try harder next time, champ. |

I know you were only defending your boyfriend in the heat of passion, but try harder next time, champ. 98% of this post was bullshit that didn't need to be said. i know bands aren't original yadda yadda. you didn't need to tell me. but a band name can be trite in other forms than the same name being taken. the phrase bane of my existance is pretty overly used. thus naming your band bane of existance would be quite trite. this is only an example. so again... you should think of things more. it would help your arguement. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 21,2004 4:23pm - CongoogetalZobotomy ""] i dunno but i dont really ever hear anyone ever say "bane of my existence" that much or at all.... |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2004 4:28pm - dugoxistance ""] I'm still not convinced that you know what you're talking about. Continue making such broad generalizations to fight your arguements for you. I'm learning a lot. |
| _________________________________________________ [Nov 21,2004 5:00pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] dug - how on god's green earth do you like bands like All Else Failed and The Minor Times yet criticize the kind of thing we do? I think there's more at hand than feeling there's a musical clash or something here, because I could easily see us playing a show with bands like that and bein approved of. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2004 6:36pm - dugoxistance ""] dude. it's a fucking message board arguement. calm down. are you really that upset? for the sake of fuck, I'm having a small conversation with you in another thread. Well the way you "jumped to Nick's aid," it seemed kinda like you held too much emotional stock in what I said to him. My bad. Here I thought you were sticking up for something and someone you felt strongly for but you were just sticking your nose into were it wasn't needed or requested. Oh yeah, and the broad generalization was that the phrase "bane of my existence" is pretty overly used. It's not uncommon, but overly used? not in my opinion. Otherwise the original 4 of us would not have taken it as a name. Can we end this now? Even my fights with Nick are shorter than this. |

I think there's more at hand than feeling there's a musical clash or something here, because I could easily see us playing a show with bands like that and bein approved of. Haven't heard AEF yet. And to my ears, TTOS sound nothing like Minor Times. You do have a slight Ken Mode/Pig Destroyer vibe to you but just something about your band just doesn't appeal to me. Same as BoE doesn't appeal to you. I've already voiced what my issues were with you and honestly I don't even care to remember what they were. I was chiming in because my band was insulted. The other guys in your band can do the same when TTOS is attacked. Doesn't bother me none. I have no control over the other guys. Fights on message boards can be fun in the beginning, but in the end who really gives a shit what people say or who doesn't like your band? It's like dry humping, feels good but you don't really get anything out of it in the end. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 21,2004 6:54pm - attendmyrequiem ""] i'm not even the one taking this seriously. so sure. it's done. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 21,2004 8:35pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Both your bands have "of" in your name, you're both a bunch of unoriginal fucks!@!! LOLZZZK |
| _________________________________________________ [Nov 21,2004 8:43pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] dug - totally valid point, but who IS it in your band that constantly gives me shit? like it's really just too much. I don't mind joking around, and I can understand if someone doesn't like a bands toonz, but someone in your band has got a hard-on and won't let it go down. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2004 9:24pm - dugoxistance ""] Oh Bestie, you're such a riot!!! |
| ________________________________________________ [Nov 22,2004 3:23am - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] actually, it's really generic to use the vowels in band names. i mean everyone does it. so lame and over used.....stop being so trendy, stop using poor over used vowels. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 22,2004 5:54am - dugoxistance ""] Bn F Xstnc. i like it! |
| ________________________________________________ [Nov 22,2004 7:27am - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] now if we could all just stop using open chords and distortion then the trends will stop. |
| __________________________________________________ [Nov 22,2004 11:18am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] i don't think people use open chords enough. unorthodox chord shapes pop up in music not as often as they should. |
