This is a music post coz I produced the debut EP of faulty clone w00t w00t w00t
Dang these kids are talented !!!
So my son who plays drums in this band which is kind of post grunge punk hardcore emo metal with German lyrics and he asked me in early November 2024 to record them and I said yes based only on a couple shaky-cam rehearsal videos.
What is a father to do when the call comes in?
I had no idea how good these guys are.
In a matter of 10 days or so I went from:
dude-hired-to-push-the-red-button-and-that-is-it …
to:
demo-turns-ep-producer-damn-this-is-fun-but-also-not-easy-to-mix+do-i-have-the-time-to-dedicate-to-this-to-do-it-justice+what-the-heck-lets-make-cds-too-why-not-guy
…..
Today their debut EP “Zimmer 12” is out on all digital platforms and you HAVE TO give it a listen (and sub to their substack)👇👇👇
You may even use Spotify (yes, Spotify, the most successful version of the dreaded extracting-money-from-artists-and-distribute-them-upwards-to-a-tiny-techbro-oligarchy business model, Spotify, which I canceled because of them paying $hitloads of $$$ to Joe Rogan but enough whining from bitter old Marxist me) 👇👇
CDs are forthcoming, probably before the end of this month.
I will let everyone know how to get a copy ! WORLDWIDE SHIPPING OF COURSE !
Cover design by the way done by vocalist/rhythm guitar strummer Jakob👇
Where do we go from here you ask?
Dunno! Up to the band.
Maybe they fire me and hook up with Chris Lord-Alge, Rick Rubin or both ….
Or perhaps I get to record/mix/produce their full length album later this year?
Let me know in the comments *after you subbed to the faulty clone YouTube* if I should leave Second Life and go back to my roots of HARD MUSIC.
But you know what: I will never leave, neither SL nor hard music. Walking + chewing gum = it is possible!
See you in-world …
They’re good! My cat thinks they are too loud, but my cat doesn’t pay rent so his vote doesn’t count. 😉
