The music industry is a cesspool, and I'm sick of being forced to pump propaganda.
My band has little relevance, but I can absolutely attest to being forced to pump shitty music for the sake of just being a good person.
They shame anyone that doesn't pump their message. I was met with an insane amount of opposition once it was discovered that my band was becoming popular, and I refused to sing songs that were "stamped" with approval.
I was effectively frozen out of the scene. It's a shame because I play several instruments, and make catchy tunes. Now, I have a small business that is about to fail when I should be a very famous musician.
>my art is le beautiful >the world just isn't ready for it >I'd be a rich and famous if the people weren't so closed minded
Ok fucking artist. Never heard this before.
Nicholas Evans
You forgot , "I'm better than you"
P.s. You might be a fan and not know it
Nathaniel Davis
How's it going to feel when summer ends?
Robert Ramirez
do you play metalcore you huge fag
Lincoln Gomez
No, I play piano...plus other instruments
Elijah Clark
Metal core can actually earn you decent money since all the kiddos are into it for being "extreme" I bet he is either one of these 4 chord song acoustic guitar fags or an untalented fruity loops "producer". Welcome to the real life looser. I'm a musician myself and I'm earning my living of producing other people's music, that way my music stays my hobby and I actually get to earn money without having to bend myself to the liking of others
Jason Carter
Been told I sound like a girl
Dylan Johnson
Gosh, I wish I was as talented as you
Noah Collins
Do you live in Berlin? there's no money to be made in this town, and since everyone is a musician/DJ/blogger/designer etc, the irony is that this town is artistically lifeless. The Tech House is awesome but it doesnt come much from Germoney iirc
I'm a musician myself and I live off a rent because I leech my family who noticed I wasn't going to do much in life and gave me a small flat in a nice location.
If this is actually you.... You have a new fan - you definitely have a new sound
Christopher Watson
I'm not gay btw... song is about my mother from her perspective
Adam Miller
suck it up babby
if you think being a successful musician is being famous and the TV selling millions of records, I've got some bad news for you
Sebastian Scott
Nah im living in the southern parts of germany. Well I feel like tech house is over saturated already since every kid with a mac book thinks he's a dj. My own music is more into the directions of industrial/ dark techno (pretty much the only guy around here which got me some nifty gigs) and my work life is mostly working with rappers from the local scene
Kayden Bennett
Gotcha! Thx!!
Jeremiah Adams
So, how rough is LA? A lot of people itt think you're complaining that your music isn't well received, are you saying the industry just will not put you on if you don't get their approval?
Seriously music is filled with shit these days, I hated most music as a teenager because it was gay ass hip hop shit 90% of the time.
Chase Nguyen
I like it
Listened to a few others, also pretty good
You've got a good voice, if a bit girly as you say, but I like it. Overall good sound
Don't give up
Noah Thomas
...
Jose Wright
We still tour, but I am shunned from L.A. Music industry because I was told to be more accessible to left ideology. I refused and can not be be a musician that tours in Cali.
Aiden Rivera
This. Most producers don't have some silly arts degree, they have psych degrees, and for reason.
Aaron Butler
must be a jewish conspiracy, huh?
Anthony Lee
Wake me up when September ends.
Alexander Carter
Milosh?
Connor Morgan
Taken in malibu
Robert Foster
Dude Hang Me Out To Dry is a banger. I love you guys! Why arent you doing Louder Than Life in Louisville?
Adrian Hernandez
Do you like Everything Everything?
Also is it possible to covertly red pill normies?
Jace Brown
Wow, a fan on here...thanks!
Jayden Taylor
Ive started working in the biz as a recording engineer / producer for other bands in a pretty well kitted studio. I got the job just through good contacts. Any idea what to expect ?
Chase Carter
You do you, and your fan base will grow. Your in a playlist of mine and I hear your music fairly frequently. Keep up the good work.
Samuel Johnson
God bless for the schekle!
Brandon Stewart
Time stamp. Doubt you are from Cold War kids
Lincoln Diaz
Post your music.
Why do you have to pump shitty music? Produce your own shit and distribute it online by yourself.
Thomas Jones
Arent you guys on tour right now?
Matthew Thompson
I am trying to learn to make some nice dungeon synth, can you give me some advise, like what I need to learn to directly go to the music creation, taking into account that I will only use the computer (looking for buying a cheap keyboard, but while I save money I will use just the piano roll). I have many ideas, many melodies in my head but when I try to put them on screen I fail miserably. I dont want to be a professional composer, just an amateur enjoying and expressing myself. I dunno man, there is actually people who never studied music theory or armony, and actually they sell albums and songs in iTunes and so.
Also becoming a professional composer is not an option. I am 32yo and in my country the whole career is 14 years. And this is if they admit me in the conservatory. So when I end the career I would be 46 or even more, and there is a chance I woudnt even be alive by then.
Andrew Evans
GREEN DAY or BLINK 182 or LIMP BISCUIT?
I'm guessing Greed Day since all of their music has been shit.
Anthony Jones
huh this is either true or a really weird prank. Cold War Kids are indie famous. Why are you wasting time on Sup Forums?
Eli Hernandez
He said hes in Cold War Kids, read the thread
David Rodriguez
if this really is you (tho not sure why you would risk ID'ing yourself on Sup Forums of all places), hospital beds was my jam in high school.
Jackson Hughes
I think it's a larp. He says he refuses to tour in cali. But pic related.
Tyler Mitchell
"every man i fall for"
is this about your gay boyfriend or something?
Bentley Hernandez
Larping fag I also have a somewhat famous band in Spain
you guys are shit and sing like fags
i mean youre not even from the band youre pretending fuck off saged
Camden Garcia
Hi friend,
I haven't slept in weeks. Not a prank. We love this site, and I'm here to whine. We have been mistreated by industry because we speak truth and not commie shit. I'm well aware that this is lame. I am lame. Also, my mother is a whore (did I cover everything?).
I'm just here to meme.
Noah Hughes
huh yeah. Good prank tho! so far out of left field (no one has listened to the fucking Cold War Kids since ~2009) that it seemed possible.
Juan Cruz
Astroturfing my dude
Jaxson Martin
>P.s. You might be a fan and not know it
Samuel Sanders
hah alright man. you do you
Kevin Thompson
LMAO this kid
Blake Hill
What band?
Nathan Brooks
Your music is shit if you need a major record label backing you.
Nolan Sullivan
so do you consider yourself right wing? like Sup Forums right wing?
Dominic Sanchez
>enters the music industry >shocked they turned out exactly the way everyone thinks of them Have you tried releasing everything on YouTube and soundcloud instead like a true indie youngster chap?
Alexander Turner
who in the industry mistreats you? what does this mean exactly? like you can't play at certain venues?
Samuel Morris
I was hoping we could turn him into /our guy/ and finally get some based rock music.
Blake Johnson
If you are nathan, I guess this makes sense. Your last albums have been getting slightly worse each time.
Love you guys though
David Reyes
Don't forget my based buds in The Walkmen!
Asher Morales
okay the left has the entire music industry. We have cold war kids, the walkmen, and a couple of reprobate soundcloud rappers.
Ryan Hernandez
I agree..the pressures of being shunned are affecting the music
Julian Long
You're just a bloody coward OP. It took a lot of irish blood, sweat and tears to get to where I'm at today. TLC had to hold Clive Davis at gunpoint to get money that was owed to them. Where's your balls lad?
Isaac Peterson
>but I can absolutely attest to being forced to pump shitty music for the sake of just being a good person. If you reframe it that you're not writing that shit "to be good ppl" but to extort money out of naive folks that "think they're good ppl" you suddenly make your power level rise.
Jeremiah Hill
I could name a few more
Easton Morgan
How does that work? Why would you even want to be in a major label if you make good music that speaks for itself? I don't get it.
Ryan Lee
Tbqhwyf, if your music was better people would probably listen to it, no matter what the message was.
Cameron Edwards
OP, I think you're a fucking larper, it even says on the CWKs wiki that they wrote a Trump protest song. You got me faggot.
Easton Perry
That's my guess.
Henry Walker
I'm fucking poor. My wife and kids live off 30k a year
Evan Cox
Love your music bro
Jaxson Price
Fag. The chambers can't come soon enough
Jayden Foster
Shit
Matthew Roberts
Then get a job you absolute loser
Jayden Gutierrez
A few questions...
How do you feel about Chris Cornell & Chester Bennington's weird suicide deaths? Do you think they were murdered?
How many female popstars are mind-controlled slaves?
How many musicians/artists are into pedophilia & drugs & satanic shit? Some speculate master tapes are used in demonic rituals.
Luke Allen
Wtf, I absolutely support Trump
Colton Campbell
Why does no one at this site demand proof of anything anymore?
Luis Jenkins
Cold war kids are solid, but can't imagine them rebelling against (((them))), gonna need some proof.
William Reyes
youtube.com/watch?v=n_ZRRlVDVa8 If these niggers can come out of nowhere, establish a record label, release an AOTY contender on it and reach up to 1M views on their music videos that they shot on a cheap DSLR, so can anyone who makes music that has an audience.
Jaxson Cooper
I know nothing of this... Chester was a very nice person
"Locker room talk I can’t believe You think you’re gonna get around it Dirt in your mouth Mic on the sleeve We all heard how it sounded
So many lies Ya think that it's true Try walking on water With a brick in your shoes You're gonna end up drowning
It took a long time to break these walls And he wanna build 'em up It takes a long time To earn my trust I'm gonna give it to the girl I love
a conquer the small To live like a king From way up in your tower Show us your hand We know you’re just bluffing You got no real power Keeping your word Don’t mean a thing All your friends turn in to enemies How could you be grounded?
The hate in your heart Everybody can see Your head is hollow, man You ain't fit to lead Let's stand up and be counted
"locker room talk" by cold war kids
Samuel Foster
Jews run the music industry
Nolan Thompson
Jews are everywhere where there is money, when it comes to America.
Anthony Diaz
I know that's not your music OP It's good but not yours.
Owen Russell
Billy joe armstrong sucks dicks at the grammys ......prove me wrong
Luke Hughes
Did you promise them you'd never touch another drink as long as you live?
Gabriel Kelly
Which song? That's disappointing. Miracle mile is one of my favorite songs but I have zero problem dropping more bands.
Jace Howard
>my mother from her perspective
Isaac Sanchez
...
Hunter Phillips
No, my promise to my wife and children after I was arrested
if anyone here actually thinks any musician would reveal their power level after what happened to diiv you are fake and gay
Carson Lee
Wow that's disappointing, what a bunch of kikes
Blake Wilson
You guys listen to Mac Demarco?
Adrian Wright
Dann Gallucci, is that you?
Isaac Parker
Get fucked dude. That band is fuckin mainstream as shit. Love is mystical was number is 1 ternative song for months. People here are retarded.
Thomas Lopez
Ska-P
Jacob Nguyen
I don't care if this guy is larping, but: >Surprised when an industry with a direction want something that brings in the biggest profit and doesn't disturb the status quo.
You're either a businessman or an artist The real "artist" starve in hobo shelters. All of the successful artists are in it with a business mindset and I've seen this first hand. Sure they do their own thing with their creation, but they make sure to keep it in line with what brings in the money and keeps them in the good graces of the patrons. Which nowadays are basically government institutions. Occasionally they're controversial, because that too sells, but it's not the standard that keeps them afloat. If you want to make it, you have to mix both creation and business. But always having business as no.1 goal. Business meaning a product that sells and is allowed to sell.
