that really sucks!! do you think this will influence your band's future growth into something totally different?

no biggie!

[zachel77]

well, the music is already pretty different, so it's not such bad news. these guys are russian ska based in berlin, and we're... not. well, there are tons of bands out there, and there's bound to be a lot of crossover.... i think if you endeavour to make an original project, you have to be prepared for the fact that someone else has already reached the same conclusions independently... in other words, it was original when you thought of it, even if it actually wasn't.

these other guys still have a pretty different instrumentation, different sound, etc., but it's funny that some of the features that distinguish our band also distinguish theirs!

no it doesn't!
I think they are good, hook up with them and see if you can release them on your label, tour together, start a scene
I see nothing but good coming out of this!

Does your line-up include...

a sweater twirling moron?
Theirs did.
I think a few missed beer runs could drop their line up to six or seven.

And I think most people could rap that well in any language with a
dictionary.
He rhymed fuck with fuck.
Hardly bi-langue, there.

You can't worry about the competition.
I had a very bad experience with that today.
The competition will eat itself...

come on guys!
music is not football, we're not supposed to play *against* each other, if the people that coached supported me when I started out had this my music is better than yours approach, I would never have amounted to nothing!
