Guest HARRY Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I think they sound like a girl version of Brand New on their first album for some songs others I would say Nofx.. What are you talking about Cameron Mason. That is a personal offense to NOFX, not to mention broken sunshine sound FUCK ALL like themGet your punk shite right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 i thought you didnt like punk any more stu? i thought you were too cool for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HARRY Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Who isn't too cool for punk?I have never been into punk really. After Aaron and Jason DJed at fudge aid last year, with punk compilation after punk compilation, i think that finally made me aware how bland the genre is. I like NOFX however, and the occasional 4-chordy songs if they are catchyI think your facts are a tad bit wrong, whoever told you that is having a case of the verbal shieze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Crashdown Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Broken Sunshine are a good band.. they have catchy songs which means they'll be around for a long time ..thats all i have to say ..and if people aint gonna be constructive in their critisism they shouldn't post ... it doesn't change anything telling a band you think theyr shit .... just makes them not like you and they resent your opinion... be nice and constructive then people can tak it onboard and you r advice is useful /// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ 10 Easy Wishes Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I'll tell ya who they sound like! I think they sound like a newwave'punk' version of The Corrs. except without the boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Wow...just came online and saw this...Thank you for posting, the feedback is great! We have changed so much since the first few times we played. Our songs are better and more catchy and we've definately separately improved our instruments as time has gone on. Thank you Sonic (if I knew who you were...) for the comment... And Milner... I'm not going to publically display my affection towards you... :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I'd say they sound very like Megadeth, but instead of 4 old guys there are 3 young girls, and instead of playing speed-metal they play pop-punk. But other than those two things...identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulDW Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 A classic description Dan if ever I heard one... Seeing as ive sprawled my thoughts on the other thread ill spare you all the spiel here!Catchy, pretty, getting tighter, punk pop gals with attitude... With plenty of potential to fill, but no strangers to the negative press in the 'deen.... There's the shorter description! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowWhite Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Yeh, your entitled your opinion. How did you back it up? You dont need evidence to back up your own opinion. Saying you dont like BS, however, isnt a constructive contibution to the topic, it's just you saying you dont like them, as people know, cus you've said it before. I dont mind that you dont like them, I dont like some bands, not everyones gonna like one band. But I dont go around saying I dont like these guys or I dont like them for no reason. Just cus BS arnt your thing or dont play well to your taste or whatever, you dont have to go round slating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
che Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 In my head they sounded like the bastard children of NOFX and Bouncing Souls. Obviously the female children..And to me, that's a good sound. I quite liked Broken Sunshine when I saw them (many moons ago now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 The Runaways meets the Shirelles. The tunes are catchier than the Runaways material. All they lack is a little confidence and attitude, but I'm sure that'll come soon.I love melody and these are one of the most melodic bands in Aberdeen right now. Whether they sound like their CD live is down the quality of the sound/engineer at the venue... I believe their CD was recorded live with only a vocal dub and a little compression added. The playing was to all intents 'live' and in real time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Well it was in April that I saw them... so it wasnt as early as most people are mentioning, to be honest I didn't like any element of the band... I hate to sound too harsh, and I realise they are still quite young... but in fairness it's not my cup of tea anyways. The stuff I heard in exile, in my opinion was a bit pish. Nothing to get excited about and I assure you my pulse remained at a steady thud during all my Broken Sunshine experiences. I wish them all the best etc, but sorry ladies, it's not for me.

Stuart Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I really didn't like them that much at the start. But you know, kinda had to be there at every gig or get my ass kicked. But now i'm there through "cult following" support, and also through choice. They just suddenly got better. And continue to. Which is always good. And they are 3 of the nicest girls you'll ever meet. Except that Alex, what a bitch... my god. The music never really was my thing to start with, but they grew musically and started to write songs which aren't crap. So now, they are a good band. I don't know if that made any sense at all. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing in the music which gripped me at all, no instruments standed out, and the vocals really were so typical that I wanted to leave immediately. I think you should add depth and more texture to your material, something which people can identify as a unique Broken Sunshine band. Trying to be like another band (in this case, I thought you were dwelling in the shadows of Tuuli), and actually trying to go somewhere, is a meaningless effort. Fair enough, you may just be doing this just for fun, but at least make it interesting to other people if that is your intention.You probably won't realise, but my statement above isn't exactly a unicorn in a field of horses. This opinion crops up time and time again with discussion to your sound and genre. I thought you would have picked up what I was implying when i said my statement was a bit clich, but I guess you didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thank you for your construction. It is helpful to hear comments like that. To be honest, thats probably the most in depth comment we've had about our music, and for that, I thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulDW Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Constructive criticism is the only way to go about things... Music, bands, performing, writing, is not about making it interesting for people, or playing to people's interests. One person's 'GREAT' is another's 'RUBBISH'. When you wirte material, and pperform live, you play for yourself. You do what yopu enjoy and what comes naturally to you. Sure you keep challenging yourself, and trying different things (which BS do, in terms of harmonies and so on... they have come on along way...) but you should be doing that naturally for yourselves, and not because people think you should, or because someone else tells you you should. Otherwise you take the passion and the drive right out of it. A scene to be successful needs music of all genres, not just metal, hardcore, metal punk. It needs the whole deal. I like the Aberdfeen scene for that very reason, because there is diversity. And in my opinion, there are bands would pay week in and week out to see, and Ill admit that maybe Broken Sunshine are on that list, but I make the difference between a band not being in my taste, and a band who have my respect, because they are trying, and they are enjoying the challenge. No band is ever going to please everyone, it is impossible, so therefore what is important, is that you are trying, you are enjoying it, you stand up for your music... And that is what SnowWhite is doing... Good on you for that, and keep up the work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
