I'm in a band...

Well, after talking it over with my one friend, we are starting a band. The name of the band is Drowning the Apparatus, and we're going to play mainly metalcore, but I found this genre called Cinematic Harcore, and it's pretty sick. It's a lot like metalcore, but it's more synth-heavy. We both like it, and decided we'll stick with that.

I haven't talked to my friend a ton yet, but I think he knows a drummer that can play for us. My friend (The one that already is in) plays guitar and does great screaming/growling vocals. He knows a bassist, but I haven't talked to him about that yet. I play keyboard/synth, but all I have is this little KORG keyboard I got for $50 on Amazon. It's basically just a MIDI controller, so it has to be connected to a computer while MIDI output software is running, such as M1 Le or MIDI-OX. I'm planning on getting a microKORG for my birthday, but that's in July, so it's kind of far away in terms of getting stuff with the band done.

I've been working on parts I will do for songs, and I've been sharing them back and forth with my friend to see what he thinks. So far, I have all the parts I will play for one song (It's called Clockwork Cataclysm) done, and my friend likes them as well, so when I get the microKORG, I'm going to play them and maybe post them on here. Maybe I'll even have the rest of the bands' parts on it...

While I was just reading it over, I noticed that it sounded like we've been a band for so long, and that we're all ready to perform and stuff. I know we're not, but I guess I'm just excited.

Nice, good luck. I'm glad your picking a god genre instead of that RnB shit. Anyway post your songs here as soon as possible and I'll give you some feedback.

Anyways, good luck, and I hope you can become as succesfull as Cap Gun Roulette/Dawn of the Hero! :yay:[/quote]
Yeah, I know what Nintendocore is...I wouldn't really want to play it though.

Heh...That would be awesome, but for now, we're just having fun with it.
 
Had to google Cinematic Hardcore but can't seem to find examples of notable bands...so it seems a bit wishy washy...

Bleeding Through have had a keyboardist since forever and they can't possibly fit into that surely?

Ok, I also saw this on a t-shirt today. "I'm on a boat." Short of a World of Warcraft reference.(Which is likely the same joke I am not getting) What does this mean?

My friend is in a pretty good band. No vocals but they do great instrumental covers.
 
[quote name='Overlord Nadrian' post='2888601' date='Jun 4 2010, 08:39 PM']Oh, just Googled cinematic hardcore, it seems very similar to trancecore (Enter Shikari :wub:)[/quote]
I love them. Their newer stuff is kinda, well, not so good, but I like the rest.

@Everyone else: Cinematic hardcore is a mixture of genres like Ambience, Electronic, and Metalcore (Or Hardcore). It's peaceful and extreme at the same time. But anyway, we're going to be doing stuff next weekend like lyrics and other stuff, so we might be able to get something up (Doubt it, but maybe).
