oh captain, my captain

[spunj13]

hmm... what do i have to say about the band?

we are a "new" band (the quotes are because.. in some ways we are .. and in others... we aren't)

because i'm bored and have not a whole lot to do... i'll give you the run-down.

2 years ago i was a bass player in a band called [hindsight] and we were ... in the process of fading away (a modern/classic rock blend... not my thing...but i wanted to do music) the drummer felt the same way... so we started a three-piece indie/screamo band with his cousin on drums and him on guitar and vocals and myself on bass and vocals. we called ourselves before.the.fall. that got changed to ...fall before a few months later. then a year ago the drummer left and went back to new york. we got a guy who had never played anything before in on drums. played a few shows around the south bend (indiana) area and then took a break for the summer (because we all lived in various places...boston, new york, nebraska...etc.) when we came back in the fall we picked up a kid on bass and another vocalist, but lost our (brief) second guitarist. two days after a two day 'tour' our drummer and guitarist dropped out. we decided that it was time to put that version of the band to rest because i was the only original left. within 48 hours we had picked up another guitarist and drummer and after much deliberation the band "oh captain, my captain" (a name derived from walt whitman...but i voted for it because i like that it can refer to God as well...despite common belief we did NOT get it from everytime i die... even though we like them) we are very set on being a mission oriented band and believe that that is what we have been called to do .. and metalcore just happens to be the way that we do it.

right... i've rambled on enough... so i'll just leave it with the website address.

Your site won't let me past the "Enter" screen...

I keep clicking the word "enter", but to no avail, does the page load.

what browser/type of computer are you using? or rather... what resolution? (i think i might know the problem.. i just hadn't run into it before... it seems to work effectively anywhere between 1024 by 768 up to 1600 by 1200... but that lowest one might have a bit of an issue....)

I like your music...

It will be better when you get better recordings of the songs.

thanks for the support...

and yes.. i sure hope it does sound better once we hit a studio. (i'm guessing you were able to get into the site.)

I like it, the only thing I can think of changing would be to make your clean guitar parts just a bit jazzier.

I was in school and my teacher was talking about Abe Lincoln's funeral and the poem that was read ("Oh Captain, My Captain")...and ya, I was just telling ya.
