Depends what type of voice you have too. If you had to compare your voice type to a popular singer, what would it mostly be like?
Sometimes a particular voice doesn't lend itself well to certain songs.
I knew I forgot some critical information.
It depends on the age of the listener, but I have heard us described as sounding like The Ramones, Social Distortion or The Offspring. Those three band names come up quite often.
We seem to have luck playing just about any kind of genre. We have had good success taking any 3 minute song, cranking up the overdrive and playing the song in 2 minutes in the key of F-U. When we do this we kind of come across as a Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies with a more "bite".
I prefer to play in this style but I think it would be wise from a business point of view to play some more main stream songs.
I wont post any of our stuff since I want to remain fairly anon, but imagine this cover with a more scratchy raunch in the vocals. Even though my voice is completely different, the band's tone sounds very similar to this song.
