Sharpe End First - 2 track album demo

[The Corleone Family]

Nah i reckon its smart marketing doing the Rocksound thing, if you got the skrills to do it then its an awesome way to launch a band on a international level in one fell swoop.

I don't think many people start out in bands to get famous/make money. Its just something you do for a laugh. I'm sure the guys in SEF have played in many bands for shits and giggles but realised when they formed SEF that the sound they were playing is getting popular and they've got a chance to make something of their passion and live the 'touring' life.

So many bands have split up because the strains of regular life (paying rent, relationships, bills etc) and playing in bands full-time are so hard to manage, i think its cool that nowdays people can actually make a living out of music that even 5 years ago wasn't acceptable to the mainstream, and ultimatley make a wage from it.

yeah. the scene has totally changed. who'd of thought the Gallows would be where they are 3 years ago. Its mental.
Ive never done the band thing and i can tell you right now....i dont know how you guys do it. especially those in two bands. I have trouble making sure i have breakfast each morning.
Still...least the uk has a great and ever growing alternative music scene.
I remember when Bristol gigs were hard to come by....and now theres loads.

[Aimee Hate]

Yeah exactly, Bristol was good for shows, then it just went shit. But now theres more and more stuff going on. Its getting so much better

[VeganxBen]

word! Bristol on the rise definately!
but SEF are still shit

a nice blend of posi/negi Ben!

[SCAB ON MY BRAIN]

I just think they are bland.

This guy who writes all the stuff is obviously a real good guitarist, but i just dont think the songs are really strong enough to "make it big".

[retaliation]

SEF is one of the worst bands I've ever seen/heard; and their singer is a total knobend.

Sooner they split the better IMHO

ha just seen dis thread, we played with them a while back, the drummer was nice but, there one of those bands that stood outside for all the other bands sets (which i find pretty disgusting seeing as we all watched them) and came on to act all rock star with coreographed moves, generic riffs, midtempo bordom trying to get heavier and heavier. The music was lacking in any personality and they seemed to be a bunch of big heads (not the drummer). I dont get this type of metal at all, it just passes me by there no riffs in it, they have heavy guitar noise but not riffs like metal bands used to have alla pantera,exhorder,sacred reich etc who had some groove and tune to a riff. This is what the acu death to false metal song is about!
