In response to suggestions from the community (namely Kang and others), a couple of new elements have been added.
There is now a Calendar which anyone can add their gig dates to. No registration/log in is required. Simply add your details and everyone will be able to see when and where you are playing. So please take a look, see what you think.
Also, there were suggestions of a 'listened to' flag to show when Columbia/RCA/A&R have listened to a track. It's near impossible to give detailed comments on every track. But a simple when it was listened to and by who message seems like a good idea. So as of today I'm trying out something new that will generate a time stamp and signature as something is listened to by one of us. It's simply text at the moment but I will see if I can get some kind of embed graphic.
More details to follow.
Fox Cubs joined us back in April under a different name just as this community was developing.
The first track that really caught my attention was 'I Could Be Wrong', Although the band haven't tried to emulate any of the Cure's styling musically, I find the vocals quite reminiscent of Robert Smith, especially on their newer material.
'In Silence, In Secret, In Shadow' is also delightfully dark with a bludgeoning intro, seedy phrasing in the verses and a really strong chrous. I'm looking forward to seeing the band live to see how their use of synth's and reverb effects translate.
They've just come out of the studio with their latest offerings 'Beasts of England' and 'You'll Never Learn' which looks like the band are taking a break from the dark side musically. Be sure to visit their blog and have a listen to their other tracks. In the mean time, watch the below:
Also, on reading the comments of Kang and others, I have contacted Vox to see if we can add fucntionality to the A&R process of having some kind of 'listen to/by' flag on new submissions. I don't know if this is possible yet but will keep you informed. Keep the good ideas coming. Thanks Kang.
