What is this?

Riffage. It sounds like a shitty metal term. However, in my important blog, it plays a key part in what makes an indie band good or bad. There's as saying that goes: Learn three chords, know three thousand songs. HOWEVER these songs are probably boring, if you can learn three chords and then play them. What makes a song good, is riffage. Whether it is vocally, synth(illy?) or any part of the band, laying down sweet riffs (normally guitar though) is what catches the band for me. Too many indie bands follow the mid-tempo, strumming open chords, light distortion, abstract lyric path and make boring and monotonous songs. Riffage; You probably shouldn't take it too seriously.

This is also a personal blog, which I'll post random stuff in between the reviews

My band, Riffage?



New song we made today in practice. Markus wasn't there though D:
Been listening to a lot of For Serious This Time, and the new If You Make It split with Glocca Mora. Those put a lot of influence in this newest song. I'll be doing a review of that split probably sometime this week!
