Should we take TheDom's vote and switch it to "none of the above" since he stated he voted that choice purposely?

SpectralJulian - it's good stuff.
Regarding the sound like, I think it's worth noting that, unless they've changed the myspace whatsits since this thread was started, they've listed the bands that they are influenced by as: "Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Shellac/Big Black, Jesus and Mary Chain, Bauhaus, Joy Division, WIRE, Fugazi". And in the sounds like bit they've put: "Dark scary post-punk". Now, so far as I can make out, describing the sound as 'dark, scary post-punk' is spot on. There's a moderate goth influence on the vocals (so that justifies Bauhaus, J&MC and Joy Division), and there's bits of Fugazi angularity on the guitars, so that's that one. But the point is more that what a band listens to (that is, what they are influenced by) is often different from what they sound like - in fact, a good band should sound nothing like their influences, to my mind. I don't understand what's to get pissed off about at this music... it's good, I like it. I'd like to hear them in a couple of years when they've got nice mics, a decent studio, and more gigs under their belt... by that I mean I wouldn't buy it now, but unlike the overwhelming majority of Myspazz bands, I wouldn't suggest the band give up - there's a couple of nice ideas there, they have an interesting (to me) sound, and I would like to hear it develop. I think I could've probably cut out a lot of that gack I've just written, were it not for this being a deliberately provocative thread. It's good stuff spectralJulian, keep it up chap.

It's worth noting that yes, he has compromised and changed his profile since the start of the thread. |

This is like the same thing as when a whole bunch of Europian fucks on some forum said that Scissor Shock "sounds nothing like any of their influences". So fucking what? Who gives a shit?

Well, I did have some bands listed of what I thought it sounded like at its current state, which is a little different from what it was like when I made the recordings. I changed the sounds like to "KHChris performing auto-erotic asphyxiation" and then changed it later that day. I played a show last night and someone recorded every band. So I'll have some new sounds up soon. As well as pics with a super bright flash and my eyes closed. My bassist was conveniently out of town :/. |

I think, even if you say, "We sound exactly like band x", there are an infinite number of bands taking greater liberties with the notion of influences. I know, they always try and add me. I send them unpleasant messages about how shit their music is. It's a fun way to pass the time...

Interesting.
Nobody seems to think The Spectral Presence sounds like Big Black, Pixies or Joy Division. |
