s.a. zober gave feedback to Stellarator for “Drunken Neighbors”:
Great grooves, dudes!

I like the vocals, a lot, but if anything, I would say that maybe you could add some more harmonies...

Still, you guys are grooving well togther, and I can appreciate that. Very progressive, but jammy, nice!!!

I gotta get up to Madison, for sure.

Thank you,
Shoham

tawmy gave feedback to The Airvents for “Faulkner Said Don't Move”:
Reminds me of raw Ramones.
Faulkner preferred classical music, but I'm sure he'd never heard anything like this and may have appreciated the sentiment. It had no 'fiddles' so that's a plus ...

Faulkner probably had an aversion to old time fiddle music or perhaps the sound of it reminded him of an ugly part of Southern Culture. A black character, Tommy ("Tawmy"), from Faulkner's Sanctuary who is mistreated, ridiculed, and eventually killed, is the focus of this line with a unfavorable reference to "fiddle" music:

"From time to time he would feel that acute surge go over him, like his blood was too hot all of a sudden, dying away into that warm unhappy feeling that fiddle music gave him" (93).

s.a. zober  Wow! Awesome quote :) Tawmy, where you been at? Hopefully making new great works of art! I was thinking about your Christmas song this Christmas! Tawmy, can we hear you? -Shoham  (Jan 20, 2013, 09:32 PST)

Sounds like you guys are having fun here. Overall sounding good. Need to get in a studio and get that polished sound.

That reminds me, I need to catch up on some Faulkner ...

This is the beginning of a great punk song, guys. It has an Ataris sort of vibe to it. I'd love to hear a bigger, fuller version with even more crunch and energy. Keep it up, for sure!

Awesome to hear you guys are still rocking! Been following you guys since the early days! Sounds like you've started developing a slightly more guitar heavy sound. Is this a different line-up from before? Less harmonies this time around I think. Anyway, the new logo is cool as well. This really is *your song*!

Thanks for rocking,

I liked the energy on this tune, I still think you guys might want to pick up a second microphone (a cheap used one shouldn't cost more than $20) so that you can mix the song a little better after you record. I like the energy and the song itself, though. Thanks. -showie

I like the keyboard tone on this one. I wish that the vocals stood out a little bit more. Make sure everyone's listening to one another, and esp. the vocals. I like the drum beat here! -S

The Airvents  Thank you for the feed-back! We are working on back up vocals for this one to help the vocals. If there is anything else we can do, please suggest!

The Airvents gave feedback to Brightside for “Brightside - cry about it”:
Perfect! Love it! You've got an awesome punk/pop punk sound going on here. I really dig this kinda stuff.

Good start, guys. I'd like to hear this one with the whole band together. Has a good summer-time pop-punk sound to it. Could use that punch only a good rhythm section can give a tune, still...

Still, I like the little guitar riff in the middle, I'd expand that a little bit too. Thanks for sharing! -Shoham

The Airvents  Thanks for listening! I was definitely going for that pop-punk summer sound. We are all excited about this one. We think it will be a fun, energetic song. We hope to get it recorded soon!

The Airvents  My thoughts exactly. We have played it through a few. Still fine tuning it...but we are definitely having fun with this jam.  (Mar 30, 2012, 19:52 PDT)
