      Honestly, same, the longer I sit with it. There's this nagging sensation that I'll never be part of a band that's quite as good as Sir Curse was, or that had a better chance of "making it." Maybe one day we'll reunite, but at the moment that doesn't look to be on the cards :(

      I'm hoping to have something to show for my solo efforts soon, but the imposter syndrome is strong, as is that same nagging thought. Otherwise I think the only member of the band who's working on anything original is Eric (the bass player), in Neon Rituals, a hardcore band. Hardcore isn't really my style, but they do have some cool stuff going on, and they're getting a decent amount of notice on the scene.

        Ah, shit. Sorry, I didn't mean to open up old wounds and make you feel bad. But y'all really were great, and you're fully legit, so you don't have to worry about imposter syndrome! Seeing you rock...

        Ah, shit. Sorry, I didn't mean to open up old wounds and make you feel bad. But y'all really were great, and you're fully legit, so you don't have to worry about imposter syndrome! Seeing you rock out on your axe was one of the highlights of that live show! :) So whatever you decide to do next, I'm sure you will succeed at it!

        p.s. Hardcore isn't really my scene anymore, but I used to go to a lot of hardcore shows back when I was in high-school, and Neon Rituals is pretty good shit!

          No no, it's all good! Coraline had actually rattled around my head earlier in the week (I guess on what you could call my internal playlist), and it was really nice to listen to the actual track after I saw your comment. At the time we were all quite critical of it, and while I don't think time has softened all the complaints I have about it, it's still a great track, and on balance I'm sad we stopped playing it live. That kinda trancey section at the end was so much fun to play and rock out to, and was a great mid-set track to reset the energy a little bit before ratcheting it back up again.

            Heh, it's kinda funny how differently people (especially the band) can perceive a song. I absolutely LOVE everything about Coraline! TBH, it's by far my favorite of your songs. Like I said back...

            Heh, it's kinda funny how differently people (especially the band) can perceive a song. I absolutely LOVE everything about Coraline! TBH, it's by far my favorite of your songs. Like I said back when you first posted it, it really reminds me of Among Authors - Noble Eyes which also has a very similar waltz opening and ethereal vocals, and is another of my absolutely favorite songs.

    My band released a new song a couple of weeks ago! I had meant to post it here before, but never got around to it. Give it a listen/watch and let me know what you think, would love some feedback :D

      Wow. Love it! Between this and your previous tracks, you're definitely a band I am going to start paying more attention to. I love me that Dark Cabaret style sound. :) p.s. This song reminds me of...

      p.s. This song reminds me of Among Authors - Noble Eyes (in a good way), especially the opening piano part, and ethereal vocals.
