Here's some ideas on what you can include. *Biography *Demo Songs *Pictures *Reviews/Testimonials *Sideshow Of Photos *Video or Film Footage (Windows Media or Quicktime format)

Create a biography with pictures in .pdf format and make it available for download. You can use Writer program contained in free Open Office Suite http://www.openoffice.org to do this. Open then program type (or paste) in your biography and insert pictures. When your done go to File > Export As PDF.

7) Lyrics Allows fans to get more familiar with your music. Also adds content to your site which will get picked up by search engines if it has an incoming link form your main page or somewhere else.

8) Biography On your bio page sections fans read about you and see your pictures. A sideshow of your photos sometimes adds a nice touch.

9) Concert Listings/News Keep your fans and site visitors updated with latest news about your concerts/shows, interviews, appearances ond other topics of interest.

10) Forum A discussion forum is a great place for you to interact with your fans and street teams. An excellent free script to set up a forum is phpBB http://www.phpbb.com.

11) Blog Blogging is a good way to syndicate your artist/band news and generate traffic for your site. Search engines love this kind of stuff. Later on in course I'll go a bit more in dept on setting up a blog. A nice fully featured blogging script is Word Press http://www.wordpress.org .

Make sure your each page of your site is cross browser functional, meaning it can be viewed properly by different web browser programs. Two of most popular ones are Internet Explorer and Firefox http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox . Sometimes a site will show up perfectly in IE but will be all out of whack when viewed in Firefox, or vise versa. Have both browsers installed and check out every page.

The production and dumbed down songwriting of this album is slightly disappointing, unless of course you are a classic rock fan. You can clearly hear influence of early rock bands like Led Zeppelin, both on production, and songwriting. With drumming that is very evocative of Bonzo and very thin, vintage guitar tones. The album, just as EP and all Faraquet material before it, has a very raw and uncut feel to it. Not raw in St. Anger “we didn’t even try” sense, but more along lines of a live recording, band sounds tight, but you can still pick out playing nuances of each member, giving band a very ‘real’ sound. If you’re sick of pro-tools albums, this just might fit your prescription. (Pun intended, zing)

I think classic rock influence shines strongest on albums 9th track, I am Harvest opening feedback drops into a guitar riff that just screams Jimmy Page from miles away. You can almost see band performing it in your head, after nearly 2 minutes of introduction guitar noodling, vocals finally enter and guitar takes a much needed break. The drumming really takes over on this track, as guitar feedbacks during verses and allows drums and bass to dictate rest of song.

Your favorite people all in one place may not be a bold step into uncharted territory for this DC trio, but there’s nothing wrong with a slow evolution. The music is solid and band still appeals to their core fans while managing to remain fresh and interesting.

Overall: 7.1
