The Colour Line - For fans of Dillinger/The Chariot - Music Video!

[samincolour]

Hey guys,

So my band (The Colour Line) have done a ton of stuff since last time I posted, we've tried recording using all sorts of different techniques and eventually used some that we recorded entirely live in one take in our rehearsal room.

Anyway last night we put up a live footage montage as a music video for our track "Ewoks Don't Play Nice", I'd really appreciate it if a few of you could check it out, and even better give us some honest feedback!

Here's the vid:



And here is some stuff we were working on not long ago, the 'tech' side of us is more apparent:

This page has 60 views so far, thanks to everyone who watched the video it really means a lot, even if just one of you did!

Last night we put our EP online, like I said earlier it was recorded completely live in one take so the quality of it isn't anything amazing (although the guy who mixed it did a pretty good job for what he had available!), but it'd be great if any of you could check it out!

Here it is on our BandPage page on Facebook:

i dig this really much

Thanks dude!

Sick! Been a while since I've heard some good mathy music, this is great. I especially liked the riff that came in a bit before 0:30 and then the course bit it went into shortly after. Vocals sound surprisingly good for a live mix, reminded me of Defeater. Properly recorded and mixed this would sound amazing. 3 thumbs up chap, keep it coming

We're doing some 'real' recordings soon, we just haven't had the money to do it. I'll update this when we do have actual recordings up thanks again!

I never noticed that he sounds a bit like the Defeater vocalist, now it's been mentioned he kinda does haha

having fun on stage: object completed!
edit: love dat raw vox
guitars seem to blend into each other? is there a way to seperate them into distintive voices?(just my personal opinion).
Bass cuts right through(=good ) aswel drum is ok in the mix there.

Thankyou so much!

Everything was recorded live in our practice room, we had both actually got new amp heads that day and hadn't dialled in a tone by that point... It was a pretty bad mistake really to do it that way! Lol.

To be honest it was more of a learning curve for us and the guy who helped us, he was helping us for his uni work so everyone got something out of it. None of us had ever recorded like that before, but once we get more clued up on it I think we'll be doing it more like that, it was way more natural!

Thanks for the kind words and the pointers though it's massively appreciated!

Hey guys!

Sorry for bumping this... It's kinda turned into a development thread...

We recorded a song earlier today, it's be great if a few of you could check it out! It's definitely a step up from our other/older material...

Here it is, "Thrash Bandicoot", check it out, any feedback would be massively appreciated:



Cheers in advance!
