I'm in a band and you haven't laughed at my shitty music yet²³

I'm in a new folk/alt/ska/punk/folk duet called THE AMERICAN WHALING INDUSTRY and am currently writing a whole album dedicated to the pains of sea life and fantasy themes and shit like that. We also make awesome music videos.

Listen to our first 2 singles below (because hey, you can take 6 minuets of out the time you would usually spend insulting JurrianChu or whatever that losers name is)

Unicorns Became Narwhals

The American Whaling Industry

Here's them unplugged and completely unedited:

Unicorns Became Narwhals

The American Whaling Industry

What's new with me?

I got one of these a few days ago

Gonna get started with app development in the coming days.

I'm also going to see Streetlight Manifesto at warped tour on Thursday and I'm seeing Reel Big Fish on the 12th because ska is awesome.

I'm working some shitty maintenance job from like 6-4 all day every day this summer, so my life sucks cause I only make minimum wage. So take me out back and shoot me.

That's my whole life!

One good thing about the songs.

The autotune sounds like autotune.

I could never get autotune to work for me. :P

JUURIANCHU HAHAHAHA

(You're trying too hard, hel. I'm sorry.)

I liked Unicorns Became Narwhals [no autotune].

I would try for higher notes where applicable when singing, if you can pull them off they would really make it.

Singing lessons is a better alternative to autotune.

Practice is a cheaper alternative to lessons.

Unfortunately however tone deafness is always a possibility.

holy shit where do you buy your weed

And on a note related to the blog,

what would you say separates you from the thousands of other bands that aspire to be huge but only ever play shows for the same venue (where only the friends of the band members show up out of sympathy)?

Ear training works wonders.

Autotune and flanger is not your friend.

Toast 12 years, 4 months ago

@Kamira That's what singing lessons are for. But you can't teach a tone deaf person to hear tone, just like you can't teach a blind person to see - in the true meaning of the word at least.

Aw man. I'd much rather hear tone deafness than autotune. God damn. I love all of the genres you listed so I was really disappointed to not hear real voices.

(How can you be folk with autotune…?)

edit: holy shit you guys sound cool without the autotune. I just saw your link :P
