Time to see how all female bands stack up!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN3WWGmfumEGood and tight instrumentally as well as vocally. Though they look alright for the shoot they don't have much of a presence. They are boring to watch, especially in a video. Overall a thumbs up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiIkuuSLhUA&feature=relatedGood sound and vocals. Nice mix. No points for presence... as no band shots shown. Thumbs up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLOhxax-9ZEInstrumentals... sucks. Vocals... bad. Death metal isn't exactly known for its stellar melody, but they have no balance at all. Percussionist pounds, vocals seem oriented more towards inarticulate sounds than lyrics, and the axes just seem to be off in their own private worlds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oIslUa173k&feature=relatedGood harmony when they want it... instrumentally tight... need to clean up the front vocals. Growling is the ticket with this genre of music, but one has to be able to growl while being articulate.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFPVPtEgsJwBeing a percussionist, I am rather fond of powerdrummers. However... that chick is not a powerdrummer. I think deep down she resents her instruments and is actually trying to see if she can batter them so hard they explode. I wounder if anyone ever bothered to tell her mics are a useful tool. They are not just decoration. She would do better at hard labor breaking boulders into gravel with a sledge than claiming to be a percussionist. The whole band is boring, unbalanced, and they look like shit. I recommend Prozac for the lead singer... anger management for the pounder... and cut the other two loose and look for some talent.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzvZUfGIaoYWell... I listened to their clips and guess what. I still can't take them serious. Nuf said.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O94ZhZSXJokWhen I first watched this, I figured the acoustics of the house sucked balls or they needed a new sound man. So I listened to some of their other clips. It wasn't the acoustics that sucked. It wasn't the sound man that sucked. That only leaves the band.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpwHfWZbiag&feature=relatedMy eyes and ears are still bleeding. Epic fail.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U034x_ztBT8&feature=relatedFor their choice of music, they definitely have the look. Instrumentals are really tight. They need more work on vocals. Quit singing through their noses and use their diaphragms and voice projection. Definitely some potential in their genre... just need more work in the garage before borrowing or renting an auditorium for final tweaking before opening again in public. Small clubs and outdoor areas can make you wish to pull your hair out if you need to work magic with the sound system, but auditoriums... a whole new ballgame. If you are good and tight and well balanced... all your sound man usually has to do is run a few sound checks to make sure everything is working, and then balance volume controls essentially. Allow the natural sound to come through. They could also use some work on presence. That comes with experience. MOVE AROUND when not singing. Don't marry your asses to the mic stands. You cannot hide behind them. They are not wide enough to hide your tits.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfuzIZC0TFILose the damn music stand, lose the beer, learn what you are trying to show. As a matter of fact, lose the lead singer entirely. She should stick to singing in the shower where she can only cause pets and the neighbors to suffer. Its a small place and from what can be seen it is all hard surfaced. There are a couple things the percussionist could do to soften her sound and blend in better... but its tough. The bass needs more bottom end to give a fuller sound to the instrumentals. The axe needs to utilise more dynamics as she plays. She plays like someone who speaks in a monotone voice. Boost the riffs and breaks. Balance during vocals. Not much presence, but in their defense not much room for a show either. But lean to use what you have. When you cannot move around, use body language, facial expression, and "stationary" movements to induce mood and boost your charisma factor. A good band member can have presence even if I nailed their feet to the floor.
There are some outstanding bands out there with front women. There are outstanding bands out there that are mixed. But unfortunately as a whole... I still have to say the all female bands are not stacking up well to their counterpart all male and mixed bands. I did not post the rinkydink lamer female bands. These were some of the best I found. By the same token there are some all guy bands out there that suck beyond words. But overall... I have to go with the guys or mixed over all female.
