Hey folks. As of a couple weeks ago I'm officially in a band. So far were a three piece. I'm playing guitars and singing. My good friend plays bass and sings a bit too. Then another friend is on the drums. We're thinking of adding another guitarist so we can get a bit more diverse. So far we've played one open mic at a local bar/restaurant. WE go again tomorrow and it should be good. Right now we are only performing covers but are perfecting originals. I've been adapting songs that I wrote for this place for my band because for some reason when I write songs for Reported Failure everything goes smoothly as opposed to when i write them with myself in mind. We recorded a cover of the song 7 Nation Army. The guitar wasn't amped up enough, but otherwise I think it's pretty good. I'm singing in this one. Check it out. also we are called Silent Box

Thank you! I can't believe I didn't thank you for your comment until now haha.

Anyway things are still going strong. We aren't getting legitimate gigs yet, but right now were focusing more on just getting better at playing and writing songs. We have about nine original songs that we can go out and play anytime, but only a few of them are songs I'm really proud of.

I'll share a few of our songs here. This first one is our newest song that were very excited about. The guitar is very melodic and extremely fun for me to play. I didn't write the song and have honestly no idea what Eli (That's the name of the blonde kid who is singing and playing guitar) is saying due to his monotone singing voice and the mediocre sound quality of the recording. But I hope you like it. I'm playing the red guitar.


The rest of the songs that I'm proud of aren't on youtube yet, but they will be soon so I'll share them. You can check out the other videos if you want, but vocally I'm not proud of my work on the Seven Nation Army cover and my guitar playing though dynamic is sloppy. The other original song that is up is just a song I wrote for Reported Failure that we tried playing one day and both the drummer and bassist liked it, but since I didn't really write it to be played it isn't the best songwriting and the music lacks energy. The other video is a cover of the song Wagon Wheel. The video is ok, but we kill with that song whenever we play it live.

I've got an update for you. Tonight was the first night I really felt like I was in a legitimate band. First we wnt to the biggest open mic within 30 minutes drive and it was fantastic. We only got to play two songs though and they let us play six last time. So afterwards we wan outside and played on the street. I altered lyrics so I could talk to people while singing. Then we sat in the back and joked around. By the end of the night we were offered to tryout to be the backup band for this guy who lives nearby and has a record deal. I don't think any of the other guys will do it, but I probably will try if it pays well and the timing would work out. It isn't for my band, but it is a potential job playing music which is all I really want from life.

Videos possibly coming soon.

Really like this man. Seriously do. Keep it up, can't wait to hear more.

I recorded a cover today of Fall Out Boy's song Golden. The timing in the beginning is a bit awkward, but I think I make it work in the end. Probably the best vocally from me that any of you will have heard as of now. Another original song coming as soon as I settle on an arrangement and get down to recording. Any feedback is welcomed.

As promised. Any feedback is welcomed. Im a tad sick and could do this one but will hold off on recording the vocals for my own song.

I'm impressed you can do so much lol. Remember us when you get signed and become all famous and, your head gets big :P

Hey friends! I'm still alive. I plan to return and do some RP at some point, but I dont know when. For now, you can hear my latest shenanigans. Both are covers. I might be trying to write and album this summer. I'll keep you posted.

And this one is on photobucket because youtube didnt work when I was uploading. http://s234.photobucket.com/albums/ee80/keaton270/?action=view&current=20DollarNosebleed421.mp4

Did a couple of covers of brand new songs yesterday.

This I wrote. Some of the lyrics actually came from a song I wrote for Reported Failure but its just one line.
