[@Frontman15G]

vestron vulture, kinda more darkwave but got the same feel

[@pieldelana_postpunk]

Right now i'm listening a lot to French Police, Blood Club, Caskett Cassette, Vestron Vulture and myself haha

[@grantous67]

@@andyglamrock Holy shit The Sound is criminally good

[@stonex6736]

@@andyglamrock chameleons are hands down one of the most overlooked bands ever. foun their LP in an second-hand vinyl store and bought it out of curiosity. When the song "Second skin" started i knew this album will stay forever!

WISH I WAS IN A BAND WITH THIS HUMAN.

[@FlameFlickers]

I disagree with you about the vocal melody you came up with - I really like it. Good work!

[@bananalabs]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that :)

[@folcoch5308]

so clean, thanks for your work ! can you tell more about the vocal process ? I'm in love with it

[@SuperRingoffire1]

Brilliant concepts thanks for the inspiration 🧨🙌🙌

Thank you for your support! Means a lot!🙏🏻

[@noaha3006]

Just discovered ur Channel, and its really inspiring and just overall really good! Keep going

[@internalleprosy166]

I got the black and white aesthetic thumbnail from the post-punk hahah, its one of my favorites genre. I recomend you the brasilian post-punk band Jovens Ateus. I liked the song of the video, but I missed more retro elements, reverb on the guitar and chords that create more suspense. I think I would have made it less melodic, it seems like a pop-post-punk with a kinda dreampop or shoegaze vocal to me, which isn't bad, it's a style, you know? Or maybe I just like to much the post-soviet and monotonous style from the russians and belarusian bands hahah the mexican scene its also good in this genre. Anyways, good work, bro!

[@bananalabs]

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. Yeah I totally get you about this one sounding more dream pop/Shoegaze. There’s an older video I had done about writing a Molchat Doma style song. I think that one had turned out ok but I got some shit for saying the wrong place where Molchat Doma were from lol.

[@internalleprosy166]

@@bananalabs hahahah I loved that video, but I didnt know about this lol, I didn't use to comment or read comments before. I discovered that they are from Belarus only this year too. Nürnberg is also a great band from there.

[@bananalabs]

Haha right on. I’ll check out those references. Thank you!

[@C0RVO0]

Nice! Great tune. Subscribed

[@thedimidiumaffair5140]

Again a banger. I like soft kill when it’s up to post punk!

[@bananalabs]

Thank you, Brotha! I’ll check out Soft Kill :)

[@matthathaway5015]

Soft Kill is rad

[@capslock196]

Clean shave fits you well dude.

[@bananalabs]

[@DeCntrl]

Thank you man, that is a really helpful lesson! I'll check out your patreon!

[@bananalabs]

Thank you so much for the support and for considering joining the Banana Labs community on Patreon!

[@JohnNoirSmith]

Post-punk is fun

[@marounso]

Awesome.. you really hit it again.

[@bananalabs]

Yoo! Thank you so much!

[@teensupertiger]

funny how people know called Postpunk, what we called Coldwave or New Wave. Post Punk for me is Gang Of 4, The Slits, Pil, George Lenningrad,.... you know punk that sounds dancing.

[@bananalabs]

I’ll check those bands out. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@dorianford6227]

This track is more in the new wave realm than post punk I agree

[@jeewillikers]

If you really want an extreme example of what makes post-punks different from new wave, check out Y by The Pop Group

[@SamBrockmann]

Postpunk is what the name says, "Music after Punk, inspired by Punk". New Wave and Coldwave were subgenres of that. 😂

[@teensupertiger]

@@SamBrockmann new wave was a main genre. Post Punk a subgenre, it stays in the underground. The first Cure album was post punk, the following albums were cold wave or nes wave

[@Frontman15G]

love it, really gives some juno 60s or dream, ivory

[@bananalabs]

Thanks, Frontman!

[@AlexKashner]

My fingers just automatically click a new banana labs video now before my mind ever notices what happened.

[@bananalabs]

Haha Thank you Alex! I appreciate your continued support, Brotha!

[@punkstar1980]

bro i fucking love you, i woke aspiring to record a post punk song

[@bananalabs]

I appreciate your support! Thank you!!

[@lvcas.999]

which reverb plugin are you using on your vocals ? hella vibe !

[@bleulooper]

So good!

[@bananalabs]

Thanks, Tony!

[@quimetaostudium8676]

Outstanding! Is there anything with a Danelectro's Baby Sitar in your videos or in the future?

[@bananalabs]

Thank you! Oh man I’d love to get my hands on one of those! I will definitely keep you guys posted when that does happen.

[@summersleepmusic]

Looking suave brother

[@bananalabs]

Haha Thanks, Brotha!

[@TheEngin33r]

Is there a way to compensate for a really badly damaged left hand other then playing opposite. I can't spread my fingers very far and my pinky is useless. I'm super fit and i already tried the peter steele play bass approach. I've tried the press as light as i can deal but i can't feel my last 3 fingers so i automaticaly overcompensate by pressing hard like i was holding a sword or a wrench. Is there any way to 2 finger this approach? As in only having finger #2 and #4 plus a really overstrong thumb......i can't feel the tips of number 3 and 5 they are fucking useless. And any attempt to involve number 3 and 5 very quickly feels like i'm ripping the tendons out. I have such potential with my spirit and mind concerning goth music i was born with it in the 80s.

[@south_of_nowhere]

Maybe take the Toni Iommi approach? Ultra light strings and odd tunings, so it doesn't require a lot of dexterity or strength.

[@joshpenn1]

i love that riff

[@bananalabs]

Thank you!

[@aarondeaver9358]

Nice, what plug-in did you use for the strings?

[@bananalabs]

Thanks! For the strings I used “Heavenly Strings” via Massive

[@cristianoutrunner]

Amazing vocal, reminds me Jesus and Mary Chain vibes

[@jessilopez5390]

Hey man what tuning is this?

[@bananalabs]

Drop D standard

[@hurdiehurdie924]

The Chameleons!!

[@yaniv2364]

could you do a video on making a song like jeff buckley?

[@Sikepornia]

nice

[@bananalabs]

Thank you!

[@bruisedbug]

omg u shaved

[@bananalabs]

I did :)

[@comprehensiblehorror]

thirteenth

[@nickmonks9563]

The vocal melody was not catchy...but it was original, and fit nicely. TBH, I think THAT'S what makes this song.

[@bananalabs]

I appreciate you. Thanks for your input.

[@TheEngin33r]

Dude your amazing why can't YOU start a band :C i'm sorry for saying that.....might be like asking why i can't overcome a physical injury.....damnit :/ we all suck. Well on the bright side this cat at least opened a gateway for my betters to make music i love to listen to.

[@alex.fleshripper]

Sounds a bit like black marble, good job

[@bananalabs]

Thank you!
