Stu M - TRACKS AND DEMOS IN THE WORKS!!

About Me

I'm Stu, I'm 16, I love to listen to great music, and I love to try and write great music too. I'm mainly into indie rock, but electronic stuff also seems to tickle my fancy, check out my influences, you'll see. I've only really started, so give it time, but you will hear some pleasing tunes. Also, if you can come up with a decent alias for me to work under, something cool, a phrase or word, then leave a comment! ;)Also, vote my music hot on my app! Thanks!Will have some stuff on http://www.youtube.com/Stumac1000 in the future!MORE TUNES COMING SOON! SPREAD THE WORD! TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT ME! (infact tell anyone, family, distant-relatives, strangers, those online contacts who you don't really know and never speak to...)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/22/2008
Band Website: myspace.com/kickinupastorm
Band Members: Me - I play everything that you hear in the tracks, apart from drums which I programme (but I can play them), but everything is properly me, that's guitars, keys, synths, and any other percussion, I have to stand in my room shaking a tambourine or egg-shaker sometimes, a lot of the time just clapping too, my parents must think I'm wierd, but I don't mind....
Influences: The Beatles, The Charlatans, Oasis, Kasabian, The Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, The Rolling Stones, T-Rex, The Jam, The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Akira Yamaoka.I do like The Prodigy, Depeche Mode, Linkin Park and that sort of thing as well though.
Sounds Like: Don't know, a mix of many influences.... There's elements of indie rock, electronic music, sometimes quite retro interms of certain instrumentations and drum beats and other percussion too. Yeah, I spose, quite retro at points, dark, stylish and it's got swagger, it's just a big collage of ideas really... I sound like the potential future..... (well that's a bold over the top comment, so pay no mind to that)
Record Label: Unsigned - wana sign me? well, once youve heard me
Type of Label: None

Style

Ok, I've decided to take my style back to basics with primarily guitars and that. Electronica is not going to be as strong or as present in my sound, although at points it will probably be weaved in.
