Nice work, just have 2 comments:
ReplyDelete1. "In December, 2011, the recordings were released on tape and posted on the internet though sites like Facebook and Bandcamp."
You already established it's on tape, so how about "the album was released in December 2011 and promoted online on Bandcamp and Facebook"?
2. "Physical copies were made by hand using blank tapes and a duplicating tape deck."
You established it's a tape, so I think that's redundant. How about "copies were handmade by band members" or something personal and catchy?
1) Interesting suggestion. I consider releasing an album digitally to be a legitimate form. They weren't merely "posted" online...they were released in digital format through websites like Bandcamp. So I'm not sure on that one.
ReplyDelete2) Good idea.
There is no mention of style, or which musical instruments are played by what members. I would also be curious to know if the band has experienced any success or played these songs at different earth locations.
