KZbin really should add an audio search feature. It would really help with finding these songs. They clearly are able to do it since they have an audio identifier for detecting what songs are used in KZbin Shorts.

[@scottdenny]

Yup, had to go figure out what was going on. The Defended were a band local to me. I know one of the band members so we went to this gig in Glasgow. Recorded it on an old Sony phone I think. Which was great for the time.

[@Bluuu3]

I love replying to old videos from 2005-2013 and the creator replies back.

[@scottdenny]

@@trippydrew8492 so this band was made up of guys from Perth and Glasgow that went to Perth College together. One of the guys ended up buying a bar in Perth which is no longer open. As far as I remember the band haven’t been together for a long time now as they all went off doing their separate things. I’ll try and contact one of the guys Scott to let him know about the search. I think I might have a CD of their stuff somewhere but I may have lost it over the years.

If the OP didn't change the title and/or description of the video, then it just shows how YT algorithm sucks. I mean the name of the bad AND the title of the song were up here for more than 15 years and never showed up in ANY search for years???

[@scottdenny]

@@Limpi43 this is how it was titled from the very beginning.

[@Limpi43]

@@scottdenny Thx for the reply and making it clear. YT algorithm sucks, it should have brung your video up months ago.

[@BeachioSandschannel]

KZbin should add something in where you can search for things with audio, sort of like Shazam or Google’s identify feature. They could probably make it so that you could either just search for the audio itself or its earliest uploads. Probably wouldn’t have helped with this search since the audio is different here, but for others? Yeah, probably.

[@Vauorea]

The lostwave community is on a roll with finding these songs. What is this 7 now that have been found in 3 months?

It's a pretty fuckin great marketing technique to be fair, have someone record you playing live, leave dormant online for15 years and just play the waiting game, what's 15 years or waiting anyway...?
