Polyphonics OFFICIAL Site

[sucko]

I was searchin on da net, when all of a sudden i stumbled upon a web site for the polyphonics. Why do they suck so hard? The site is half done (bios, news, links....etc.), not many shows to the library, this forum thing is all people seem to care about(except the occassional review on a past show, which seem to be damn good, but i've never seen them so how do i know the truth). MAKE THE SITE BETTER, PLAY MORE SHOWS!!!! I'm gonna check up on you, and if there is no real progress, i may have to bash you to all my friends. (oh yeah forgot to mention, your songs kick complete ass!!!! BUT, it seems as if you are all reliant on internet talks rather than pushing yourselves to make it with your awesome shit. I'd like to see more upcoming shows, rather than NONE. I'll come see you, i'd like to see your live show, that way i can kick all of your asses into making something more of yourselves. And everyone else on the site, the only way they can do so, is YOUR HELP!!!!!! sure you tell a friend or two, but that just fades away- exploit, exploit, exploit!!!!!!!! make flyers, pass em out, spread the word, talk like there is nothing better if you really truly mean what you say on this forum. this is by all means not a hate mail, just a local guy that is trying to help good bands get MOTIVATED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are you? Do we know you? Initially we thought it was our guitarist Jon because he has been known to use 'polyphucknuts' and 'polyphans' in posts and e-mails and such. However he denies it vehemently.

Anyways to address the things that make you think that we suck:

Lack of shows; our drummer is up at school this semester so it makes it hard to do shows and practice and such. However his semester is done at the end of September so that should pick up.

Website Content; We have no real excuse, we do suck.

Motivation; We do lack any sort of business motivation, however, rest assured that we are motivated to rock your socks off.

If you do feel the need to bash us to your friends, please at least say that you like the music, but we're all idiots. That'd be fine by us as it's not far from the truth.

Anyways, thanks for checking in. Hope you signed up for the e-mail list so when things do start picking up in PolyLand you'll know and hopefullyyou can come check us out. Be sure to introduce yourself to us.

Thats a good defense, but from the sounds of it you all lack integrity to motivate yourselves. Music is a hard industry to get into, and im sure your "in it for the music", but honestly if you make music, its an artform and some decide to hold it close to the hearts but others who want to spread the word to everyone (or the majority) take initiative to work hard at what they do and earn the rights to play music professionally, in which they enjoy and feel accomplished in doing so (most of the time it has nothing to do with money). Sure its a "sell out" type of thing, but it causes you to live a dream, and for one second think about it, if you always dreamed of being a "rock star" of some sorts, why aren't you yet? Mind you i dont know how old you all are and how long you've been playing together, but when you start something, you come out kickin as hard as you can to show true passion. If you don't, why try, there are a lot of local bands with the potential of huge to even mild success, and they never accomplish anything but a few gigs around the area playing for their friends, maybe a cd, and eventually fade into nothing. You all need to ask yourselves if this is what you want to do and decide to keep goin and be the best, or waste your time with a hobby.

If you think your able to rock my socks off (love the D), then use that to gain a name. I want to hear polyphonics on the radio someday soon, i wanna see posters of upcoming shows in my area (i am from the detroit area, and i to have once made it big in the buisness, but thats all the info on me you need untill we meet). -and i will come to one of your shows when you get some, but i doubt you will meet me right away, i want my "socks off" before i meet you guys.

The drummer thing sucks, its cool your in school though. And college is THE BEST place for advertising, gigs, etc... it doesn't matter if its a University or a community college, LOTS OF PEOPLE FOR YOU TO SPREAD YOUR WORDS TO!!!!!!!!!!! Are the rest of the members in school? They need to do the same if they are.

Finally,
"If you do feel the need to bash us to your friends, please at least say that you like the music, but we're all idiots. That'd be fine by us as it's not far from the truth.- Nyquil driver"
That right there shows me no faith in yourselves to fight for your stature- this will get you no where. Its a piss poor attitude on your music and therefore shows everyone new that you flat out suck and they shouldn't waste their time even listening to your music. If you guys are gonna constantly rip yourselves apart or settle for someones critism as being the honest to god truth and not something that can be worked out, then QUIT right now. Music is like a relationship- after awhile you get "trapped" in something you dont enjoy anymore, but its when your able to pull out and make things all the better is when you succeed. So either stay where you are all at and suffer the thought of never playing to a sold out crowd, or fix the problems in your motivation levels and come together and rock everyones socks off!!!!!! YOUR MUSIC IS AWESOME FOR A LOCAL BAND TO HAVE, now gear yourselves to making a life of what you really want to do, be it music or whatever else your plans in life are. (i'd like to it be the music though, and to the one person who voted on the poll- stay true the music you love!)

This bloke has a lot to say. He is right in most aspects. However, in no way is it a waste of time. If nothing ever comes of the polyphonics it was still worth it and a lot of fun too.

Also: what I can say that is cool about us is that we do what we want and don't care. I know so many bands that start out one style and change with the popular opinion. They try to hard to sound like other bands. We don't do that. We all just do what we like and don't say anything more about it. We give and take with song ideas. What I am saying is that I don't know of many bands that sound like us out there. I know that everyone says that about their own band but I really believe it. I can't come up with one band we sound like. I can come up with 5 or 6 but not one. I can sum other bands up in one or two at the most made bands. Maybe that is why we have not gotten anywhere. Also we have stayed togetehr through it all. There is a high mortality rate among bands we have known. They always break up. Even the ones who gain some local success. What is that all about? I am proud to be a Polyphonic. even if we are slackers.

Nyquil- Don't get dishearted over things you can't achieve. TRIALS AND TURBULATION are things needed to be overcame so you can suceed in something you completely desire. Don't ever give up on a dream, whatever it may be (honestly that is the reason for so many upset, negative individuals throughout the country, because they took "no" for an answer.) Lastly- you say your all within the 21-22 age group- PRIME TIME, keep getting more and more serious.

Jephonics (another member of the band i presume)- I love the sound of your integrity....dont ever suffer to the majority only promote what you feel is right...
