    Are there any musicians here? Post your projects, let the rest of us hear your work! This is one of mine from a few years ago, I was the vocalist for this band:

      That’s pretty crazy stuff there! What genre would that be called? I’m an old punk rock kid from the OC but never got into anything that hardcore haha! I did however manage a really good thrash metal band in my Hollywood days called Fungonewrong.

        The first one posted I imagine would be considered groove metal, while this one here would be what the kids call Grindcore! Ah an old punk rocker eh? I sang in a Ska band for a few years but with the exception of a few bands I never got too far into punk. Oh yeah you were telling me about that! Did they have anything posted on the Googtube?

      Whew, All the feels! I’m new to the rock stuff so I definitely can’t catch nuances yet, but I can hear the passion that goes into it, and it’s so important to express that somehow. Thank you for sharing your creations!

        Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you took the time to check it out, it’s definitely not for everyone lol

          https://youtube.com/watch?v=oATNzfTgb_M I think this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to anything rocky…I mean would this even be considered rock?

            Yeah I’d say that would be considered rock! It has a very “Indy Rock” feel, sounds very similar to Awolnation. Although these guys are a bit more on the “Pop” spectrum than what you posted lol

    Oh yes, great!! My taste in music is crazily diverse and I was a metal/rock/hardcore d.j for a long time, amongst other projects. I especially like the second track. You may have to get Barre to formulate an AV product for your vocal cords!

      Thank you!! It’s rare that I hear anyone say they like the second track better haha. Oh a metal DJ eh? That would have been a blast! Just at bars or festivals?

      Haha back in the day it was whiskey that kept this throat in good shape. Now it’s teas, honey, and water!

      I once played a metal-electro-bass fusion DJ set at a metal festival when I was managing Fungonewrong. I wore a Slash wig and had a whole persona on stage and no one even knew it was me. I’ll have to find the pic of me from that show!

    Yas Steven! Thank you for creating this discussion! My husband and I LOVE to create music but it’s tough living low/”off”-grid with two young’ns. So we’re always starting stuff, but it’s hard to choose which song we should focus on. So soon, I’m hoping to share with y;all a few projects that are in the making with prayers that y’all can help us choose which songs we should work on next ?? but for now, here’s one song we’ve been able to squeeze out to something of a completion.

      That’s a great tune, you guys have wonderful harmony with your voices!

    Ok, here’s one more piece I want to share. It’s pretty old but it embodies more of the elements we want to incorporate in our future creations – film, music, story, prayer. ❤️
