The 'emo' and Fall out Boy references etc kind of annoy me to a degree (not in an angry way tho), on a personal level because the music bares very little resemblence to those types of bands ... if you'd heard our other demo's (some found on www.spiritofthestate.com) you would hear such an 80's influence.
Vocals wise tho ... that's where the resemblence can be made. My brother, Will, is a HUGE fan of modern mainstream rock ... including bands like that. But ... one thing he doesn't do, is create melodies like those bands. His vocal style tho ... yeah, it can be compared. |
When I heard the music I thought 80s - but when the vocals came in I thought Fall-Out Boy and Saosin. Like it or not, for most people, most of the sound of the band they identify with the vocalist. So if he sounds more emo, people are going to automatically label you emo. I personally am not a huge fan of most emo, but you shouldn't take so much offense to it - you'll probably get more fans by sounding "current" then sounding like you're stuck in the 80s.
