The profile is long overdue for a rehaul though. Whether it is a personal or a band profile, people always think my profiles are cheesy. My older sister got mad because I changed one such profile, and she said she enjoyed reading some of the weird stuff I wrote.
To me, it is just a fucking myspace profile, you know? I use it mainly to find out about shows, say "yes, I'll play" and then make a bulletin about it.

If you can afford all those efx, then obviously you're not too poor, which throws out the "I bought a 4-track because I'm poor" excuse. Today, almost every person that owns their own instrument has a computer, and digital recording has become probably cheaper than recording on a 4-track: you don't need tapes(which in bulk are more expensive). If you think there is no middle ground between a 4-track recorder and a professional studio, then I'm sorry but that is just plain stupid. That's like saying, "I'm either going to ride a bicycle or fly a plane".
I don't know, I just get the feeling that you put those bands down just to associate your band's sound to those bands you listed just to try to get people interested in your band.
You do not sound anything like Big Black, Pixies, or even Joy Division.
And if your songs that sound like those bands aren't on the myspace page, why aren't they?
