LuIzA Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Ladies and gents, I'm proud to present to you my first full-length album, 'The First Step to Nowhere'! It has 12 tracks, all originals, 10 of which are vocal songs. It's been on-and-off in production for about 2 years, but a lot of the ideas for these songs are quite old (as early as 2005), it feels nice to finally see them take shape. It also features lyric writing by our own Level 99! The title came about when I gave up engineering school to pursue my dream of a career in the music industry. Had my fair share of people tell me it'll lead nowhere, but it's a hard road I tread onto with pride. The music itself is really just me doing what I love most, and letting creativity run wherever it wants. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy! Listen/buy links: Bandcamp CDBaby Facebook (Music store app) iTunes Amazon Fellow brazilians, if you'd like to buy the album, don't go to Bandcamp. Unfortunately, Bandcamp doesn't let me charge BRL and Paypal won't let brazilians pay USD to other brazilians, sorry. Again, I hope y'all enjoy, and thanks for check it out!

BaconProcurement Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Bought it, downloaded it, loved it! <3 This album rekindled my love for rock music so thank you for that. Growing up, I always enjoyed rock and to me, this album feels like a bit 90's alternative-ish but still does it's own thing, kinda like The Offspring or Korn during that time. Your hard work definitely paid off! Now excuse me, I'm going to go listen to this several more times as I'm really liking the guitar work here.

The 90's and early 2000's post-grunge and punk bands are definitely my biggest influences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuIzA Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 For some reason, the 'Send message' link on your profile isn't working. Send me a message via the link in Bandcamp ('for all other inquiries'), it'll go straight to my email and we can talk through there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damashii!! Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 first 7 seconds in and I can already tell this is legit sick stuff. This is really, really, reaaaaally good, Luiza.... not like anybody should be surprised though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Of course it's awesome and probably one of the best punk albums I've heard in recent memory, but can we talk for a second about how the best track is the disco funk one that COMES OUT OF NOWHERE?

Eino Keskitalo Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Sounding pretty good yeah! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuIzA Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks for taking time to listen! Oh yes, that one. I'm just a sucker for that sort of retro-ish, funky, disco-ey, smooth-jazzy sort of thing. I'll take clean-tone soloing over mega-overdrive-distortion-soloing anytime.

Flexstyle Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thank you for making it available on Spotify! I don't have a lot of spare cash right now, so I'm glad I get to listen to it regardless. Loving the first track so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansdown Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ah I feel bad for missing the release! But I'm glad I found it after all. This is an awesome album! Lots of metal sound. (Like Sea of Love! ) So hard to pick out favourite tracks. The Dusk, The Dawn, Unbound, Naysayer, Original... it's all great, yeh ^__^ I'm drawn to Journey II. I'm going to call that my favourite: metal twang! Bad Ass > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
