OLDER MEN is my new band AND SONGS ARE UP.

[daseb]

so this is basically what I do now. For fans of Jehu, Unwound, Tar, Universal Order of Armageddon I guess? Those are the bands we directly ripped off. Especially Unwound in the last song, yeesh. Also we booted out our bass player for not being an older man, and now I play bass in the song 'weatherman' and definitely lifted a bass part from 'switch is down' by UOA.

[Iommic Pope]

Gonna pick up a copy when I not on mobile later.
"Middle aged post hardcore"
Nice.

Oh this is right up my alley... definitely will toss you some ducats when I'm off vacation and have proper computer access again...

[daseb]

oh hell thanks guys! The recordings are free, we don't mind if you don't pay for them, it's just a demo

[Faldoe]

Rad, energetic stuff! Great tones all around. I like it. Makes me want to freak out

[D.o.S.]

There's some punk kids in this town who have been in a band called Older Men for a couple of years now.

many "I love Older Men" jokes were made. Also I don't think they did anything of note so your secret is safe with me.

I will straight up fight them.

Also the joke is every time someone likes the facebook it pops up with 'such and such likes older men'. Never stops being funny. Also we have a lot of randoms with their junk out in their photo liking us.

this rules

Also like you namedropped Tar instead of Shellac you nerd.

digging regardless, but just know: I'm onto you.

[jrmy]

If I like it, does that mean I'm old?

Because I do.

But then, I am.

Nice job, man!

[daseb]

thanks heaps guys!

try and find the riff from 'welk'. It's in the first couple of songs. Figure it out and I'll send you a free shirt if we ever make some.

[goroth]

Dase that is fucking awesome. I love it a lot.

Bump. Spent all weekend in our practice space recording six new songs. Since the last stuff we've become a three piece, I've started playing bass full time after briefly trying to do a q and not u and realising there's no way we could dance that well. Doing vocals in a couple days, then I go overseas for about a month, then our drummer's babby is due. So in that time we're hoping to mix it, get all the art done and then have a digital release and hopefully a 7" sometime before my babby shows up in march next year (but like, pressing plant, lol). I'll bump this thread again when there's something to listen to but right now I'm excited so here's some photos of the recording if you care about that kinda shit:

NSFW: show

bass setup for drum tracking.


tracking drums sucks, pt.1


tracking drums sucks, pt. 2


tracking drums sucks, pt. 3


day two, six bass tracks in an hour and a bit, eat it.


albini style mic techniques


chris was stoked because he finally got to use his $500 big muff on a recording


offsets



hey I've got an idea let's use way more shit than we ever do live on the guitars


and while we're at it we'll chuck a bunch of noise we can never do live in it too. Unwound did! Then they got like three extra band members!


drum tracks done, time to do the taxes.


speakers by 'whatever was cheapest on ebay'


I didn't use the precision but I put it in the shot because I still kinda feel like a traitor for using a jazz bass.

There's some videos on facebook (oldermenband, holy shit we get the most amazing likes with that name) and my instagram (@dasebeard) if you really care but yeah, I'm hella excited about it. Will update again when there's actually something to listen to.
