[Go-X] - Dance Again [Single]
 

Although impossibly high pitched for the average grown man to sing along to, I found myself trying to nonetheless. Upon listening to Crickhowell boys [Go-X]’s debut single ‘Dance Again’, it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where they draw their influences from; although that is probably a positive thing, as this establishes them as original, fresh and exciting. Unlike many bands that are currently doing the rounds, the music of [Go-X] is far from outdated, as it is possibly a small taste of the future. As a result of mixing up their entire collective influences the band have created an appealing cocktail of sounds that offers something for everyone. Melodic guitar lines, punk chants and throat tearing vocals in the heavier moments ensures that anybody who takes the time to listen to ‘Dance Again’ will be amply catered for.

With some impressive previous support slots under their belt and the drive and ambition to succeed, I would not bet against seeing [Go-X] start to pull in the crowds within the next 12 months. See you in the pit.

Man I just listened to the stupid snippet that they put up on their website (I hate that by the way) and not being funny here but it does not sound very good. It sounds badly produced and unmastered. Yes the raw energy is there but if you can't even be bothered to get your music recorded in a real studio then you won't go far.

Realistically just based on the fact that they have not even mastered this track I am giving it a 3 as mastering is the sole item that takes your song from a shit home recording to a proper release in terms of volume and correct EQ values.

yeh the snippets are soo annoying.

it is a shame, especially in the heavier bits because it sounds terrible but i think that if they were to be signed then they're pretty marketable and definately have potential to write some interesting stuff. especially considering that the average age of the band is 19. thats how i saw it anyway but yeh i totally see what you mean by that.

Young is good but you still need to get the basics done if you are relasing as single. The overall sound is just really weak to me.

Re: [Go-X] - Dance Again [Single]
 

yeh that's true, perhaps it'd be ok if it was a free demo.

Re: [Go-X] - Dance Again [Single]
 

Yeah because that is what it is. A demo.

being the guitarist from this band i dont usually comment on my own bands reviews but im just pointing out that full versions of the songs are on the myspace now and the quality isnt grade A 'cus it was all DIY'd. thanks for the effort of actually going to listen to the songs tho.
