those are looking pretty sweet, how are you ending up broke, do they cost a lto of money to make?

By hand? DIY D00D!

How are you doing that? Lend a brotha some tips (unless it's like, ultramega complicated). I know the pic doesn't give a close-up view, but they look pretty professional.

first, i photoshopped some photography i did to fit into 1000x500. afterwards, i printed them on a piece of paper and had em shrunk to around 88% of their original size and photocopied them on pieces of board paper i had to cut individually. after that, i slid them into the clear cases and burned the ep on a few cds that looked like vinyl.

well, i spent my whole week's allowance on making it. it's around 2 dollars per cd to make with the materials, but the labor is a huge factor since i ran all around downtown to look for a good copy shop with decent machines. i had 30 made, and a few got botched. well, half of that number actually. i asked my bandmates for some money to finish the next 30 so we'd have 45 copies.

Sweet, thanks for sharing man. The new demo song sounds sick. Two singers/screamers is awesome.

we'll rerecord next practice.

hopefully, it'll sound better

Alfred · 07-03-2008, 03:51 PM

Yeah, the quality ain't so great, but what do you expect from a live recording with a pc mic? :P

It'll sound awesome when you get a proper recording of it.

bardonodude · 07-04-2008, 09:18 AM

xcult_classicx · 07-04-2008, 10:25 AM

Because there are no story-book romances, no fairy-tale endings. So before you run out and change the world, ask yourself, "What do you really want?"
