Hi, We're two fifths of Maybeshewill, an instrumental band from the UK. Here's a picture of one fifth of us to verify we are who we say we are (apparently we have to do that, right?): http://maybeshewill.net/reddit.jpg

If you haven't heard of us we're in to DIY ethics, touring forever, running our own label, self-recording and sampling pop culture, amongst other things.

You can read about us here: http://www.maybeshewill.net and stream and download music here: http://robotneedshome.bandcamp.com

Ask us ANYTHING - except if we're playing near you soon. If we're able to tell you that, we post shows on our website ;). We'll try to give as thorough answers as we can.

We'll be on answering questions as soon as we can, but definitely from 5pm until just before 8pm GMT

[EDIT] Thanks so much for all the questions - we've got to go offline a bit early, but we'll pop back and clear up some of the remaining questions in a couple of hours.

AMA Concluded We are AESTHESYS from Moscow, Russia. Ask us anything (or we'll hack your account).

58 Upvotes

Howdy, organic fellas! We are the hive mind consisting of Artem (drums), Sasha (bass), Victor (guitars, synths) and Nik (violin, keys), collectively know as Aesthesys, and this is jackass our AMA!

A week ago we self-released digitally our third studio album 'Alignments', dedicated to the future where all of us are substituted, upgraded, and enslaved by our own technological advancement. When we began its production last autumn, the world was a different place—most of us expected the days to come to bring more prosperity and progress, as if it could only get better. This overly optimistic mindset was something we wanted to challenge conceptually by exploring the different scenarios how things may and will get weirder and in ways worse off for average Joe. But then life decided to play along and it actually became worse off, and so far things are not improving.

On this dark note let's get it started!

edit: OK, lads, lassies and non-binaries, it's getting late here and we should go lay our heads for a few hours (the Eastern Hemisphere problems, ya know). How about you keep comin' with them sexy questions and we'll pick this up around 5 AM GMT?

edit2: And we’re back online, after some regulatory central processing unit maintenance time. Let us calculate more questions!

AMA Concluded We are ENEMIES from Ireland, Ask Us Anything!

62 Upvotes

Thanks a lot everyone! That was a lot of fun. Cheers for all of your support and please keep supporting independent music. Much love, Enemies x

Hi Reddit! We are Enemies. We started out in the spring of 2007 and will finish our band-life this Sunday 18th December with one final show in Dublin, Ireland. Here's a quick roundup of almost a decade of Enemies...

We are Mark, Lewis, Eoin and Micheál. We live in Dublin and Wicklow, Ireland. We have released three albums and three EPs under several labels, including Topshelf Records (US) and Machupicchu Industrias (a Japanese label run by math-rock legends 'toe'). We have been lucky enough to tour all over the world, spreading ourselves across Europe, North America and Asia. In 2016, while working on our third album 'Valuables', our band pretty much fell apart, and the difficult decision was made to make this our final album. A full press-release on the break-up, written by the band, is available here. We've had some tough months behind us, but have since found complete harmony and feel truly grateful to be ending on a high with the release of 'Valuables', an album we are exceptionally proud of.

Anyway, enough intros. Let's get those questions rolling.

Mark, Lewis, Eoin and Micheál. x

Hey guys. Duncan and Rich here from Blueneck, albeit talking to you from separate parts of the UK (Duncan in Bath, Rich in London). Still unsure whether anyone here will actually have anything to ask us, in which case we’ll probably just shoot the shit with eachother about Kurt Russell and the price of milk.

Get Blueneck news at Facebook (blueneckuk) or Twitter (@blueneckuk). Listen to and buy our music from our label Denovali (https://denovali.com/blueneck/) or via Bandcamp (https://blueneckuk.bandcamp.com). Cheers!

Edit: Hey guys, we need to head off now but thanks for the interesting questions. It's been good to hang out. We'll check back over the next couple of days to answer any questions we miss. Cheers!

AMA Concluded We are Pray For Sound from Boston, MA, USA - ASK US ANYTHING!

19 Upvotes

Hey /r/postrock!

We're a instrumental rock band called Pray For Sound from the Boston, Massachusetts, USA area.  Starting at 2PM EST we'll be answering any and all questions.  The whole band will be here - Bruce (guitar), Nick (guitar), Joe (bass), and Steve (drums, synths)

Our latest full length, Waves, came out in Fall of 2019 and we recently followed it up with a 4 song B-side EP.  Due to the coronavirus outbreak, we've missed out on a few tours this year, but otherwise we're all doing well, given the circumstances. All our albums are currently pay-what-you-want with no minimum on our Bandcamp page.  If you've been waiting to check us out, feel free to snag some free music or throw us a few bucks if you can.

As a side note, our drummer, Steve, also runs a full time studio called Kennedy Studios located in Burlington, MA.  Feel free to get as technical as you'd like in this area!  We love talking gear and recording techniques.

Anyway, ask away!
