My band finished our new CD - songs inside! Well, after four months in the studio, we just finished our new 3-song EP Absolve. I'm very happy with the material and the production but that's all personal opinion so I'd love to hear some feedback from you guys. The new songs are the first three in the playlist: "Crush", "Show Emotion", and "Murder Scene". We're currently in talks with a record company and being reviewed by a few others, some entertainment lawyers, etc, so I'm really hoping for the best. Thanks for listening and leave some comments if you have a Myspace (you don't need an account to listen to the songs)!
If you like straight up energetic rock - Crush
If you like pop/rock - Show Emotion
If you like heavier stuff, do me a favor and crank Murder Scene but make sure you listen to it all the way through. It builds and builds right up to the end.

You know, that I always want yea to succeed and being I am a Marketing guy, or at least thats what my Degree is in, getting on the radio and creating a following is more important then the artistic desire, after you make it, you can do some unique, one-off stuff.

I agree 100%. The difference is that I'm really into everything so it doesn't matter to me whether I'm playing poppy, mainstream stuff because I enjoy it just as much as everything else, so I don't feel like I'm "selling out" or stepping down a notch, so to speak, to be playing stuff that is a bit more marketable. It works well for me.

I'm hoping soon we can do at least an East Coast tour, but for now we're working on the whole record deal thing so we can finish up the rest of the album and rehearsals. We'll start playing a lot of shows in New England beginning in February and see where things go from there.

John Mayer sums that statement up pretty well. I agree 100%.

Thanks, man. And to answer your question, here is the link to our first CD (five songs in downloadable MP3 format for $5, a few of which are on our Myspace page): www.cdbaby.com/cd/madorchid. And the other ones will be going up very shortly as we just finished the cover art. I'll keep you posted and let you know when they are available.
Haha, what's funny is the John Mayer Trio sounds NOTHING like the pop stuff he does. And he's actually a sick guitar player. I worked a clinic of his up at Berklee and he's a cool guy and great musician. I tend to think he wrote the pop stuff to get big so he could make money and then spend all of his free time doing what his really loves, which is more along the lines of his trio stuff. Not a bad plan if you ask me.
PS - if you're going to let the air out of my tires, you're going to have to catch me first!

Glad to hear things are going well. Sounds good from what I listened to,do what you guys like. I'd like to start a band myself hopefully soon. I wanna take guitar lessons again to kinda help me brush up on my skills and to help me diversefy myself some more in playing. Just need to start looking for people to play.

If I really wanted to run 11's I would do it, LT1 and all. Not a big priority for me though.
I'm listening to the John Mayer trio stuff right now, it's not that bad. Kind of SRV-ish.

Absolutely. We've started booking our next round of shows beginning in February so hopefully we can get a slot at Toad's or somewhere similar. I'll keep you posted!
