[quote=moonrays00]can i be count as a musician..? im playing guitar for 2 years now... i have 3 active bands.. but im serious on my main band.. i write songs too.. but im just to shy to show it to my bandmates instead i keep it to myself hope we will rerecord our compositions coz we tried DIY but that was a year ago i barely couldnt play my instrument ROLF my hand position is akward and everything negative things I SUCK without a doubt we dont know what our genre is at the beggining coz in our band we have different influences.. but we are highly influence into Pop Punk and Punk Rock bands : ex. The Ramones, GreenDay , The Clash , NFG etc... my band is sometimes label as Post Hardcore but we deny by that coz of our diff influences that gave us.. we label it for ourselves as Pop Punk/PowerPop/Experimental and now we hope to remove the screamo type songs and make it to pop punk this time.. any way my band is now running for a year and 7 months and here is the link...: visit at your own risk ... especially for those who appreciates pop punk music here is the link: www.friendster.com/kriegmelodicts we just hope that we can make it to the music industry[/quote] wow, cool band dude . hope you make it to the music industry as well. you have great musical influences
