We've been a band since mid-January or so. Last month we went to Georgia and recorded our album which is called Little Women (which has nothing to do with the book or whatever). We just got the mastered version the other day and now we've got to scrounge up a thousand dollars or so to get'em pressed. But! I put two of the album songs up on our MySpace (Tap Yer Toes and Cynthia) so you oughtta go take a listen at those.

songwriting  :yabbse-thumbup: producer  :yabbse-thumbdown:

Also I would drop the distorted (overdrive) electric guitar and go with a western guitar (ala the sound on HOWL by BRMC). Anyway keep up the good work.

I think I told him for the rock songs or whatever that we kind of wanted them to sound like "Shakedown on 9th Street" and "To Be Young" from Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker. For the acoustic songs we said we wanted those to sound like Howl. So there.

But what don't you like about the production?
