How many DiSsers are in bands?

badgertastic [Edit] [Delete] 67 replies 12:06 August 8th, 2012

Inspired by the sheer amount of guitar fx pedals being paraded in the relevant thread, which leads me to think that some of you are more than just bedroom gear enthusiasts - how many of you are in bands that I've heard of / never heard of and are their links?

a free chance to JAG

As the name suggests, Amy Blue, fuzzy-noisy-shoegaze-pop stuff
http://www.amyblue.co.uk (goes to bandcamp where everything is free to download and listen to). Second album in the works for September, looking for new bassist if any fx pedal toting bassists are at a loose end :)

- (the pedals really are optional...don't mean to be a fascist!)
  
  But yes, please do get in touch, thank you..!

    - Thank you for your kind words.
      
      We play as a 2 piece now which has upped the aggression / noise factor considerably. Also, some of our new stuff is a lot 'dancier' or 'upbeat' than the last record, which makes for an interesting new direction. I like it.

        I love your band - I put you on in Brighton a few years ago at my Not For Resale night. You were really good.

        Thanks man!
        
        I think that gig was before my time, I joined the band in early '09.
        
        There's a Facebook event page for our Wilmington Arms gig here if anyone is interested. Support is You Walk Through Walls, the new band from the guys who were in Air Formation.

  1. The Astronauts - the band is 10 years my senior and started amidst the punk explosion in '77. We're good.

  2. Pog - I joined this band just under a year ago and I play accordion. Here you go:

  Now in Crap Crab - http://www.reverbnation.com/crapcrab
  
  And my old metal band The Elephant Asylum (worst band name ever? probably) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8gWRED69qw from our one off reunion gig last year, I hate the bassist btw.

- Can tie a few threads up in one post, here...
  
  I use a Fulltone Fat Boost pedal (and occasionally Boss DD-20) in tandem with an AC30CC2 in a band called These Are End Times. Miserable stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfW0glmL4o8
  
  Used to be in a band called Optimum Wound Profile many years ago, and we managed to get signed to Roadrunner by sending them a demo tape, before we had played a gig. Pretty sure that sort of thing might be a thing of the past, sadly.

  http://soundcloud.com/great-cop/ - we have a properly recorded ep out next month and apparently we sound like Jawbreaker/Husker Du/Trail Of Dead/Built To Spill/Dinosaur Jr
  
  Though really we sound like Fugazi, Fucked Up and Unwound cuz they're the only other three bands who exist.
