last year my band split up, and I recorded one last song that was planned to be the first for an upcoming CD.
Well, the CD won't happen, still here's the song for those who are interested.

btw. what are the reasons for the split up? label politics? as far as i know drown inc. got very good critics for their latest album...
Well, a fat bit of everything. You're right, the reviews have been good but the support of the label wasn't, in fact there was no promotion at all. Additionally we couldn't get decent gigs anymore because of scheduling problems and stuff - we didn't want to drive 200 km for playing virtually unpaid in front of 10 people. Been there, done that. (It's in fact this disastrous even for a band with a nationwide release in germany). Plus internal and personal problems of several band members. Rehearsal sessions weren't fun anymore, not even solid work, they were only wasted time from a certain point on. So everything sums up to splitting up the band as the only rational solution.
People always blame artists for poor sales, when they blame should fall squarely on the record label. I guess it's because record labels have PR people to deflect the blame for them.
always the same shit.. these are exactly the same reasons why i stopped playing in a band... well, i'm happy that i have job where i can live my musician dreams...
