Check out some of my music! Upbeat Cyberwave!!
@AvalonFlame I'll give it a listen and tell you what I think :)
Want to check out mine? I do several different genres, but this one's electronic - hard to put a finger on the exact subgenre, though. Electronic rock might be the closest? IDK. https://soundcloud.com/red-fifth/destroyer-of-worlds
@IrelandTorin listenign now!
@IrelandTorin hell yeah man, your shit is great! Its right up my alley.
@AvalonFlame Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
Here's my thoughts on yours:
You've got some serious rhythm; excellent job on the percussion! You're definitely *much* better at percussion than I am; percussion's almost an afterthought in most of my stuff.
In that respect, your style is the opposite of mine haha; I focus almost exclusively on melody.
To me, your stuff sounds a lot like industrial, techno, or some hybrid of the two!
Just out of curiosity, when did you get into writing music?
@AvalonFlame By the way, based on the kinda stuff you write, I bet you'll really like this one:

It's upbeat, cheerful, the melody might get stuck in your head, and IMHO it slaps when cranked :)
@IrelandTorin yeah dude, i love some 8bit shit. haha right on!
@IrelandTorin most of the bands i used to be in were "shitty punk rock bands" always original. sometimes we'd cover like maybe one song at the end of a good show, like a big favorite. but not usually.
@AvalonFlame Oh, that's interesting! Perhaps the punk scene is a little different than the genre scenes we have locally. I suppose that probably helped you gain experience with songwriting as well!
There's nothing wrong with writing a bunch of bad originals; you can't start writing good songs without first writing a metric ton of really awful ones :P
@AvalonFlame Anyway, I have to be up for work early in the morning tomorrow, so I should probably sign off for the moment. Thanks for the chat, 'twas fun!
If you have more to say, I'm sure I'll have time to respond some time tomorrow. Have a nice evening! :)
@AvalonFlame I'm glad you like it! :)
So, again just out of curiosity, do the band(s) you play in mostly do originals or covers? Cover bands seem to be waaaaay more common than bands who do originals these days, although that might just be a product of geographical location.
