Local Releases: The Family Gallows

If it doesn't list in Google search it really doesn't exist on the internet. Take the advice with a portion of salt and promote your stuff. Word of mouth that brings in maybe twenty peeps doesn't cut it, and now that this exchange is irrevocably posted throughout the indexes of the world I imagine your unwillingness to promote will cause the meager gigs you book to dry up. How about a bio or something at least? This bassist appears to have more than enough words to write that if perhaps they also focused their skills on works of good rather than snide sniping.

Gavin,

Thanks for the free add space. So here's my take. You fail to critique the music you heard beyond strained/whiny vocals and acoustic guitar heavy. These are not even critical analyses these are value judgements and damn near libelous. What that says to me is that you lack credibility as a music critic. Your supposed two day search was completed by me in 30 minutes with more results. Two Videos, six pictures two sites one of which was facebook. All of this was posted weeks before any review. You obviously stopped at reverb nation listened to the least you could and wrote that off as two days of work. If I where a critic of "critics" I'd say you're lazy and obviously dont have it all together, and that I think I could do your job better than you. All this only goes to further your lack of credibility in my eyes. Your biggest issue is the obvious lack of diligence in your investigative integrity. It's not our job to provide you with a neat little press package delivered to your lap. We're musicians not ad execs or rich kids. When you felt we didn't provide enough information online and didn't even look at the contact info you failed. What I think is funny is we played the alt-press fest. Even if you where not in attendance your peer Jeremy was. He saw us. He apparently liked us. You could have recieved more information from him than you ever could online. He's the one who took the supposed "one" picture that you saw. Perhaps you should turn the lens inward and think about getting your shit together before you tell anybody to follow suit. Btw our fans made it and those that didn't at least knew about it. I would hope that in the future you might attend a show, who knows maybe you'll learn something without a screen in front of you. In the meanwhile get better at what you do...you can't get worse. best of luck.

You really enjoy this, don't you? Do you intentionally look for things like this just to provide a perch for you to harp on people you don't know?

Some writers are actually able to work this schtick - sometimes, when done correctly, it can be funny. It's not really working for you. You're better at kissing ass.

harsh.
