Derek™ Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 so they raised roughly $27,723.58 USD and are charging $15 for a 10 song digital download? $leepmake$wave$. Or Sleepmakeswavesmakesdollabillz. I can't decide which I like more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 $leepmake$wave$.LOL Go with this. As long as this gets posted on Spotify I'll check it out then. Not shelling out huge $$ for this. I even unloaded my other SMW album just because I never really had the desire to listen to it. If they do a US tour & come my way, I'd go in a heartbeat & hope to pick up the album then. Too many other good instrumental bands out there I'd much prefer to spend my money on though right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jase Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I love this band - really, I do - but their prices are ludicrous. How do they expect to expand their fan base with prices like these? Just putting this out there. Maybe their goal isn't to be heard in every living room. Maybe it's just get paid right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomeo4000 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 so they raised roughly $27,723.58 USD and are charging $15 for a 10 song digital download? This is how things are in Australia etc Sucks that it is bad for international markets, and it's bad here too. Still the cheapest option though because CDs are usually $20 and records are $35+ piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Wow. I guess that puts some perspective on it. I will admit the cover art is pretty cool. Song is up on their Bandcamp page as well. About as bland of a song as I've heard lately. But maybe that's not fair considering I'm just listening to it on my crappy Iphone speaker. A proper listen is probably in order before really judging it. sleepmakeswaves.bandcamp.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 No. It's bland. It actually put me in a bad mood. andy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 To be fair, I've got a friend who works a pretty tame job in Australia, and he makes bank in comparison to our wages. The cost of living and general expenses are just way higher over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Was just going to order the record via their bandcamp....but that song doesn't really make me wanna listen to it again...hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a year of work earns you 4 weeks paid holiday per year. It's accrued not just given to you after 90 days. Sure, we do earn a lot more in dollar terms. But as someone said our cost of living is much higher. Example, my house is $790 per week rent. Shits fucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
