My band, Forget Me In Vegas, just released our debut E.P. for free! We're expecting this to explode across the internet because of a lot of features we have on websites and the fact that it's good music, for free.

By the way, I'm the drummer.

which one are you in the picture?

As for the music, genre wise, I'm not a big fan. But, for the genre you guys sound great! It's just not my personal taste, however I can definitely tell that there is real talent there Keep it up!

Thanks guys! I'd be the tall one all the way to the left.
I'm glad you guys enjoy it.

@ShaunRW: Name The Game and Drive All Night are the two most fun to play. So I'd have to agree with you on that one!

Sounds really good. I just released my E.P. as well, at my show last night with my acoustic project band. This is my favorite genre of music so I really enjoyed this. Good Luck!

It's great that you released your EP, good luck making the big time - make sure you push Hayley Williams off the stage the second you get a collab deal.

I'd love to say I like the music, but the vocals just aren't my taste sadly. Your drumming's pretty good though mate, as far as my tiny knowledge of drumming stretches.

Stick some "blow-your-face-off" double bass kicks and a bit of shredding and you're sorted

On a more serious note good job! I think you've got it right by offering it for free - when you are unknown to the world it's much more important to get your name out there as opposed to making a uselessly small bit of money. Add to that the fact that most people won't buy your album unless they know what you sound like.

Production ain't half bad either, although it's a bit lacking in the bass end - then again different styles call for different mixes, and my field of expertise is metal so don't listen to me!

Wish you all the best of luck

@Inspire- I attached one of the MP3's from the E.P. It's just me, playing everything and singing. However, I have a live band too to play everything which you hear in the recording (As well as added percussion). The project is called 'Shades of Gray.' No facebook or anything yet. But anyway, if you could, give it a listen and if you enjoy it then let me know and I'll hook you up with the other tracks from the E.P.

Thanks guys, I'm really glad you all enjoy what you hear! Or at least appreciate it.

Hey man, you look like you have a pretty solid following. Some solid instrumentation, what do you play? The drummer is nice touch. I recommend getting a better looking website though. It's all about image, and your site confused me. I do web, so if you're looking for someone to hire, I might as well plug myself right quick.

Right on man. You gotta get a facebook or something to put your music up on. Also I recommend turning the autotune a bit, I know you're just trying to make it spot on but sometimes it sounds better without. That's just my opinion on it. But solid otherwise.

Every studio autotunes to make the voice sound absolutely perfect, but our singer is perfectly capable of singing everything he does on the E.P. It's not overly autotuned like popular music is these days (which is what people associate the term "autotuned" with, instead of its more practical use).

Thanks for the kind words!

Quite a professional EP you have there well done! One thing I noticed is that the music mostly drowns out the singing but very well done all the same.

Very nice, pretty similar to genres of music I like. What bands were you influenced by (assuming you were)? Good luck and keep at it!
