As you might have seen in another topic, we are trying to find a decent place to practice. I think I can find it on my own though. But once I find one, we can start practicing. And once we start getting really good, we can play live. And once we play live we can send in a demo tape!
So yeah. Any suggestions, comments, concerns, shall be posted here.

Ah I wrote a new song, "I Think I'm Pshychic". It's a stupid/geeky rap-rock song, which will probably be used as a hidden track.
LYRICS:
Chorus:
I think I'm pshychic.
I think I'm an animal.
I think I have superpowers
I think I'm magical
I invented the wheel.
I can karate chop steel.
In basketball I beat Shaquille O'Neal.
I invented the flush toilet.
Not Thomas Crapper.
In fact, he's dumber then a candy wrapper.
I hypnotized Steve Ells, and he came up with Chipotle.
I made up mayonnaise jars that don't spray.
If you want to borrow some money, I'll give to you mon.
But watch out! I charge intrest on my loans.
So if you borrow too much then you'll be gone!
Chorus
Genius in my middle name.
With it I play name game.
It always sounds exactly the same.
Genius, bo-benis, banana fanna fo fenis, me mi mo menus, Genius!
I was the one who beat Einstein in the science fair.
I invented absorbent underwear.
You know, the kind that doesn't wear and tear.
Chorus
Yeah, it's geeky. Don't make fun of us.

There's no rythym to either of your songs. It has irregular rhyming which leaves it feeling awkward. And the thing about minions has too much potty humor that it's immature.

You can't tell the rhythm just by looking at the lyrics. Wacky rhymes are part of the whole joke. In the songs where we are actually trying to be more mature, the rhymes will feel less awkward. Plus at least we are not rhyming "bad" with "dad" or some other extremely simple rhymes.
And I never said that we were trying to be mature. We were trying to do the exact opposite, in fact. And compared to "When I'm Bored" (which by the way purposely doesn't rhyme as a joke) this is mature as heck. Plus, didn't I say the minion thing was the mostly the drummer's fault?
It may seem I'm attacking you, but I do appreciate you trying to give constructive criticism. I just want to clear some stuff up.
Thanks for posting.

I like what I see on this page.
Get a page up with some tapes!
I want to develop an AmpliTube type app that does Bluetooth multi instrument recording, and I'm working with the Amplitube guys on that one.
I'm setting up my own little recording studio, I guess.
I have a band, we might call ourselves Double Simpsons, and we have a better name but we wont release it or it will get stolen.
We have two songs.
One has no lyrics,
the other is called "Ducktail."
Masterpiece, Ducktail is.

New song!
If you didn't like "I Want To Be A Minyon" or "I Think I'm Pshycic", this song sounds nothing like it. It's not immature like the last two, though it's not very deep either. It sounds sort of like something from "Nimrod" by Green Day.
Well, it's called "15 Minutes Of Fame", and I hope you like it.
Chorus:
Nobody remembers you
That's kind of sad.
All those fancy-schancy clothes
Gone in the trash
You know it's kind of lame
How everybody wastes
Their fifteen minutes of fame.
Yeah!
Verse 1:
When you wake up
In your make-up
Have you ever gone to the studio?
Then you've had enough.
Then you eat some stuff.
The food is just expensive and plain dumb.
It's annoying.
That the only.
Ones who get the spotlight
Deserve it the least.
Pre Chorus:
But the clock is ticking
And time's running out.
But everything's still wasted. (wasted)
Chorus
Verse 2:
Now you're just
Another normal guy.
You're so last year like all the other ones.
Not too long ago
You were everywhere.
But now you're desperately
So desperately
So desperately
Trying to get attention!
Pre-Chorus
Chorus (2x)
It's probably our best song, but we won't stop writing songs about stupid stuff like shoving baking soda and vinegar down people's throats.

NEW SONG!!!!
Tell me whatcha guys think. It's an anti-bullying, sort of humorous song. If you've been called a nerd before, I think you'll like this.
Chorus:
I'm the Wimposoarus.
I'm the nerd of the nation. (2x)
Verse 1:
Nobody's interested.
In my action figure collections.
Even though they are pretty cool.
Nobody likes me.
Even though I'm nice enough.
But my pen protecter apparently rubs them the wrong way.
Pre Chorus:
People just can't respect a nerd anymore.
Even though they'll be working for us some day. (yeah yeah)
Chorus
Verse 2:
I stink at sports.
They're not my thing.
They just aren't for me.
But every time.
I pass by some guy.
He beats me and leaves a real bad sting.
Pre Chorus
Chorus (countless times)

PLEASE get a page!
I want to HEAR your songs!
And thanks for wishing me luck.
My current songwriting method: Listen to nothing but Weezer for a week, and at least two hours of listening to music a day.

This feels so awesome!
Well, what do you mean exactly by get a page? On Facebook or something like that. Because I can't do Facebook or MySpace (my parents won't allow me until I'm 13). And there is no way I can convince them.
I'll try and get the band together this weekend so we can do recording. We might post it on Scratch, if it turns out good.

Do you want people to be able to download songs for free?

I'm fine with it, UNTIL I get signed. So basically only demos.

Just noticed, you might want to look for a bassist, since guitar and drums only might sound too bland, due to the lack of low notes (apart from the bass drum but that's another thing)

EDIT::

Wow. I'd recruit you, but then we'd share each other's personal info, and it would be against the TOU, etc.
You'd also have to consider where each of you live. I play bass too and can record at a pretty decent quality with FL Studio, using Guitar Rig for the bass amp.
Just sayin', maybe for an online band kinda thing but then making own songs wouldn't be easy at all.
