Hey everyone,
finally got a band together, who would have thought that possible?
We're calling ourself unit 87 for now, and the members are all my life long buds.
We're all really excited right now, and we want to put out a song as soon as possible but progress is slow because we've all got exams.
There's a small struggle going on in the band right now, as to the kind of identity we want to create for ourself. My brother wants a strange mix of System of a Down and Red Hot Chili Peppers, if Shahroze has his way, then we're gonna end up being Linkin Park clones. Ali is apathetic about the matter and its better if i don't mention what Taimur wants.
My vision is a bit different, i want to avoid what i like to call "creativity hell". I don't want to be in a position in the future where i have this great idea for a song, but I'm told "Sorry, we're not that kind of band". I want to keep all possibilities open, and i want experiment with different ideas, mix in anything from synth rock, jazz, to hip-hop or even classical music (Both Pakistani and western). In simple words, i don't want to be restricted to any single genre. I want our band to surprise everyone with each and every song (provided we actually find someone to listen to us).
Moving on, I've tried writing lyrics, but all i get is dark introspective crap, almost reminds of Layne Staley's work (not that i don't like his work, its just weird that I've got nothing else in my head). Recently, i got two romantic songs (think Maroon 5 ...... got nothing against them either). Trouble is both types are something I'm not aiming for, they're too simple and the lyrics are too weak. I'm more in the mood for some hard rock tunes, with a dash of experimentation, and intricate lyrics, more along the lines of Chris Cornell's work (but still completely different and original).
Thats all for now, i have to go study the exciting topic of consolidated company accounts. Till next time.
Song of the day
