A Storybook Murder with A Cadence for Hersey
Thu. December 20, 2007
Author: Ali Malik
Hello,
Ali is here to edumacate everyone on this
weeks Feed! I will be reviewing two bands the first will be
The Top Band on Supernova’s Chart A Cadence for Heresy as well as A
Storybook Murder.
A Cadence for Heresy
- Originality
2/5
The band is very new, and both tracks were
recorded within the bands first month together. They
themselves said that it’s pretty generic and are on the verge
of merging other personal favourite genres (ie. Southern
Rock). If you guys can put a SRV to what you already
have… then you’ll have magic!
- Song
Writing 3/5
It’s the same
ole’, template over. The fundamentals are there,
it’s time to break out of the shell.

Fairly well,
pictures of the band are uploaded along with two well recorded
tracks. The band shouts out an alternate website (myspace),
as well as a contact e-mail address. Anyone who’s
also disgusted by 2 girls 1 cup… presents themselves well to
me!
- Band’s
Total: 9/15
Next Steps
The
band should totally venture up their own personal routes and blend all
of their influences together to make magic. Look at Pantera
in the 1980’s when they were a glam metal band b/c of the
amount of love Abbott’s had for KISS and the way that the
industry was at the time. Look what happened in the 1990s,
when glam metal fizzled away… and Dime inherited Angus
Young’s balls and Big VP developed John Bonhams
arms. To have caterpillar will be a butterfly if they
believe.
A
Storybook Murder
- Originality 4/5
The band has dueling
singers with multiple guitarists with a bassist and a
backbeat. All band members always bring it for a
live performance.
- Song
Writing 3/5
Although I haven’t had a
chance to analyze lyrical content, each song is performed with a
terrific amount of energy.

(how band presents / markets itself) 5/5
The band has two
guitarists that frequently play guitar behind their heads.
Whenever I attend a Supernova card that they are featured on, not only
do they put on one of the most explosive sets, but they also
have the most fun with the audience. With band members
jumping off 10ft stages, and fans frequently “play”
attacking the band before their scheduled set time, makes A Storybook
Murder a band with a great image to their fans and the general
public.
- Band’s
Total: 12/15
Next Steps
A
couple of months ago A Storybook Murder had a fallout within Supernova
due to an internal error that has left their Supernova profile
bare. In my stay with Supernova A Storybook Murder was one of
the few bands that always had their on-stage chemistry at a 10, and
always provided Supernova with a sell-out attendance on their
end. I hope nothing but the best for these guys. My
advice is to upload better quality tracks via the internet.
Sometimes having no recording is better then having a poor sound
quality recording.
These two bands
that have names that are sentences are prrrrrreeeetttttty good.
