wow, how terribly nice of you. its a name, and if you think its a stupid name then fine, go and debate it on the debating section of this forum.
all i know is we make good music and are respected as a band, but obviousley if you dont think so. its your problem,
dont judge a book by its cover

Book covers have reviews.
And indie rock is generaly very crap(franz ferdinand....must..resist...urge...to...stab...ear s)
Sorry to pick on you, but im just expressing my opinion. And btw no, its not a name, its an obscenety made to draw attention.

ok well you obviousley need to do your research about my band, if you had actually taken the time to be just a little interested, and not judge us to the likes of franz ferdinand (who i agree, are utter rubbish) you would have found that we go by the name of
fbahtk
a shorter version of our "obscene" name.

And how is that supposed to change my viewpoint?
The name is just as ridiculus as the full version.

If you don't like the style, keep it to yourself. He's not asking for a critique of his chosen style, he just wants to let people who do like indie/rock/alternative know about his band. This is not a place to be getting your musical likes and dislikes across. If you want to do that start your own tread instead of targetting Jakfbahtk. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's 'stupid'.  |

I must ask how this relates to writing, and if you are indeed respected as band, it's not likely you'd have your music on myspace, nor would you be practicing in what looks like a garage.
With my qualms about how you presented your site out of the way, I'll mention I found your music very repetitive.
Best of luck to you, in either case.

In my opinion, 500-something page views doesn't make you a well respected band. That makes you unkown when people like me who's not very popular or much for My Space has only been on for a couple months, and am already reaching to thousands of people with only 90 friends. And I'm not band either.
But I can't comment on your music, my speakers are broken. Good luck with the band!

christ people...you might as well kill her now and end her misery.
This is complete and utter bullshit. Let people promote their websites(this not just a writing forum people, cut us some slack) without bitching about:
a) Their choice in music
b) Their popularity on myspace(wtf, if you're lame enough to whore out your myspace account everywhere, no doubt you'll be popular. Respect stems from work, not bullshit popularity that noone gives a fuck about.
In fewer words: Nobody cares what you think. Except me. And I'm gonna bitch about it.

It's in Advertisements and Links, not off-topic, which is why I called you on it.
