The Ongoing Concept - Handmade

What do you guys think of the album?

It comes out tomorrow, I got my pre-order this evening, and I must say it jams!!!!!!!  


Here's another song they released yesterday, and another "making" video

Has a Maylene sound with a little early Disciple thrown in on that song. Not too bad.

I was expecting the usual hardcore/metalcore stuff I can't stand.  However, this does remind me of a mix of Disciple and Decemberadio.  I like this!

Also, if they are making their own instruments, that is even more cool.  I am making instruments from cigar boxes, license plates, plaques, probably a bedpan, etc.  They will be featured on a blues album that I am slowly working on.  Handcrafted instruments are WAY cooler than mass produced gear.

In that second video, they are making their bodies.  They seem to be using pre-bought necks.  There's nothing wrong with that and I still consider it a handmade instrument as my first two cigar box guitars were like that.  I am now making my own necks and just buying fretboards.  However, I am also working to learn how to do my own fretting.  Then, I will be totally hand-crafted.

I'm surprised. I didn't expect the southern thing. Will definitely check this out some more.

I think the album as a whole is pretty awesome (having listened to it over 10 times now)

The handmade instrument thing is always a really cool thing

After listening to a lot of clips from the album, I am going to pass.  The hardcore screaming is a lot more prevalent than I would care for.

Great album.  Jammed to it while walking the other day.

That song was pretty cool!

Thought maybe people might be interested in this, if they hadn't seen it any place else.
