Shameless Fraternal Promotion
the Do Nots - Screw Your Mom (rough demo)
All right all right. So this is my little brother's band. His name is Sean, and he's 17. He plays rhythm guitar in the Do Nots (previously known as: the Gothic Pop Tarts, FX-44, the Leotards, the Fain, Anadyne, et al.), who hail from my hometown of Pottstown, PA. The Do Nots are currently recording a demo EP, and this is one of the tracks that made the cut.
Nick (the lead singer) has a solid voice- I can hear strains of Blink 182's Tom Delonge and Hot Hot Heat's Steve Bays in his slightly nasal delivery. The emo-force is strong with Nick. What surprised me (I had never heard a full-band version of any of their songs) were the guitar hooks and the breakdowns. While it could stand to be a little tighter (it is a rough demo though), this is a solid little number. Excellent use of tremolo in some of the ancillary verse riffs.
A quick fact about Sean: he's an excellent soccer player and a great little brother. Please stop by the band's website to check out their weird little bio. They'll appreciate it.
