SINGLE Bevis - Shed My Skin 👽🎸🩸❗️

• Upvotes

"Shed My Skin" by Bevis is a raw alternative rock song that captures the artist's intense battle with mental health, paranoia, and isolation following a drug-induced psychotic episode. Driven by an angsty, guitar-forward rock sound, the track reflects on childhood trauma, self-hatred, and the desperate struggle to break free from a destructive environment and reinvent oneself.

DISCUSSION Listening to your songs in exchange for some feedback on my song :)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just came up with this song while driving, so recorded it today. I'd love to have some feedback on what you think about it and what I can improve on. The instrumental was not made by me. I have recorded vocals and mixed it. In exchange, if you drop your song and a bit about yourself/inspo in the comments below, i'll be sure to give it a listen and give some feedback in return. Looking forward to hearing your songs. {Preferably send a youtube link because I don't have spotify on my computer.)

This is my song:

AI-Generated I made a comedy rock song about being trapped in automated customer service hell 😂

2 Upvotes

Ever called tech support and desperately tried to reach an actual human, only for the automated system to misunderstand absolutely everything?

That's the premise behind "I Just Want a Human!"

I developed the concept and lyrics with ChatGPT and Claude, used Suno for the music and vocals, and directed a fully code-animated lyric video using Codex.

It's a comedy rock song with an increasingly frustrated caller and an impossibly cheerful AI phone system.

I'd love some feedback! Does the chorus work as a hook, and do the jokes land even if you're hearing the song for the first time?

Griffin Six - The Path (YouTube)

Hey guys :)

I’ve been releasing music for a second now

Still aligning myself with the necessity of marketing my music
Kinda tied-in with still being new to believing that I could be an artist/singer in general

But I wanted to start sharing my stuff across vaster reaches of the internet than my instagram

Doing everything myself here (writing, composing, recording, producing, mixing, + mastering), so seeking commitment + emotion + progression > perfection

Totally down to reciprocate and give your stuff a listen, too

DISCUSSION Getting close to 1,000 Spotify streams!

7 Upvotes

Hey guys!

At this moment i’m getting really close to my first 1,000 total streams! It might not sound like a huge number, but for me it really is. Every single listen came from someone who chose to spend a few minutes listening to something I made which i really appreciate! And if I reach 1,000, I already have a little thank-you planned: Another song is scheduled for release in December as a gift to everyone who listened and supported me. Your support means the world to me! Because without the listeners, there would be no 1,000 and Stevie Vale in the first place!❤️

AI-Generated [Synth-pop / K-pop] Lisa Park – Running to You (달려 너에게) | 80s retro synth-pop with an anime space-opera MV [AI-Generated]

1 Upvotes

▶ Watch the MV: https://youtu.be/kA15QrD3NjQ

Hi all, sharing the newest track from my AI-assisted project.

"Running to You" (달려 너에게) is an 80s retro synth-pop song at 118 BPM: pulsing synth bass, soft gated drums, muted analog pads, and a hushed, breathy vocal that opens up in the chorus, drops to a whisper in the bridge, and shifts key for the final chorus.

I wrote the Korean lyrics myself. The track was produced with Suno, and the music video was made with AI video and image tools (Seedance, Midjourney, Wan) and edited by hand in Final Cut Pro. English subtitles are burned in.

The song is the fourth and final chapter of PRIMA, a space opera told through music videos. It follows two women from rival ruling families on one night in a space colony, while a few other people run through that same night for reasons of their own. Each chorus means something different by the end.

The full series is on YouTube under https://www.youtube.com/@LisaPark_actress .

I'd love honest feedback on the song itself. Does the chorus stick? Does the key change in the final chorus land? Thanks for listening.

ALBUM Help Apple Sauce Bring HYBRIS to the World

1 Upvotes

Hi! We are Apple Sauce, an independent experimental progressive metal band from Italy.

After years of writing, recording, experimenting, arguing over ridiculous details, and probably making some questionable financial decisions, our second album HYBRIS is finally ready.

And we couldn't be prouder of it.

HYBRIS is an 8-track album that represents everything Apple Sauce has become: progressive metal, deathcore, electronics, rap, jazz, absurdity and whatever else we accidentally threw into the blender along the way.

The album also features Jørgen Munkeby of SHINING on saxophone on our first single, 'Nduja No Kami.

We made the album. Now we need to get it out there.

Everything we've done so far has been completely independent and self-funded.

The four of us have personally paid for the production of the album, music videos, physical CDs, merchandise and everything surrounding this release.

So far, we've invested almost €5,000 of our own money into HYBRIS and its release campaign — and we're continuing to invest in promotion every day.

We're not asking you to fund the creation of this album.

HYBRIS already exists. We made it happen.

What we're asking is for your help in giving this record the chance to reach the people who might love it.

Being an independent band today means that making the music is only half the battle. Reaching listeners around the world, creating videos, producing physical copies, getting the attention of press and media, and taking the music on stage all require resources that can quickly become overwhelming for four people funding everything themselves.

That's why we've set a goal of €5,000.

The money raised will help us with:

International promotion and advertising

Reaching new listeners through targeted campaigns, particularly in Europe, the UK, North America and Japan.

Press and media promotion

Helping HYBRIS reach magazines, radio stations, podcasts, creators and music communities around the world.

Physical CDs and merchandise

Producing physical copies of the album and Apple Sauce merchandise.

New video content

Creating more visual content around HYBRIS and its songs.

Taking HYBRIS on stage

Building a fund that can help us cover the costs of bringing Apple Sauce outside Italy and playing in front of new audiences.

Why are we doing a GoFundMe?

Because we've decided that we'd rather try to build this together with the people who actually care about our music than wait for someone in the industry to give us permission to keep going.

We've already put our own money, time and an unreasonable amount of energy into this record.

Now we want to see how far we can take it.

Every contribution — whether it's €5, €20, €50 or more — goes directly towards giving HYBRIS a bigger life than the four of us could give it alone.

And if donating isn't possible, sharing this campaign or our music helps us enormously too.

Thank you for listening to our music, watching our videos, coming to our shows, sharing our songs, or simply taking the time to read this.

We made HYBRIS ourselves.

Now help us bring it to the world.

— Apple Sauce

DISCUSSION Out of the box promotion ideas?

7 Upvotes

Hey y’all,

Fellow music maker here. Question for you all: What are some of your out of the box music promotion ideas?

We all know about meta ads, pay to play, gigging and selling merch, passing stuff out, social media content, blogs…. I’m not asking what’s worked for your bajillion streams. I’m a SUPER niche/small music creator, so I’m asking because I’d actually like to try some out.

I’ll tell you some things I’ve thought about, chime in if you think they are a practical idea or if you’ve tried something similar!

I’ve made/make the embarrassing social media content, and someone asked if I was Keith Richards (I’m a 53 year old female). So suffice it to say, making SM content isn’t the best for my self esteem, I’m trying to heal here 😅

Anyway I have considered setting up a blanket in some urban park or beach where a lot of people are, and play my music on a Bluetooth speaker and see how many Shazam’s I get that day!

I’ve also thought about busking with a full band and PA for a pop-up show (I live near a city with a vibrant music scene).

I’ve thought about stickers with a QR code but don’t want to get in trouble or litter, and my best friend says I’m too much of a rule follower.

A local mailing? Posters in coffee houses? Craiglist missed connections? 🤣

What have you guys either tried, or thought about trying?

DISCUSSION Releasing music makes me feel worthless..?

8 Upvotes

I kind of dropped my musical career once covid hit. Canceled tours, moved out of the city and what not. I had honestly accomplished everything teenage me set out to do in music which i'm so so grateful for.

A couple years after 2020 I released one last record with my old band and did a run of shows. Really proud of all of it but the flame kinda burnt out for me. I had changed as a person and i didn't feel correct carrying on with the same project. So I quietly started a new one just to try and feel love for creating again, because the truth is whether i like it or not i'll never stop creating. It's the first project I committed to doing absolutely every step of the process myself (all instruments, producing, mixing, mastering) Even though I'm so proud of the accomplishment, especially how the production turned out considering i have no training as an engineer just time recording in various studios.. But today i released 2 songs that will be on the upcoming LP, and it just made me feel so alone and worthless. I just wanted to type this out to express those feelings somewhere.. I'm sure i can't be alone in this feeling. I guess this is growing up?

AI-Generated BEMARO — My New Music Project | English & Russian Songs

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently launched BEMARO, my independent music project featuring songs in both English and Russian.

I experiment with different styles, from atmospheric dark pop and electronic music to alternative rock and cinematic Nordic folk.

I write all the lyrics myself, while using Suno to bring the music and vocals to life. My focus is on emotional melodies, powerful choruses, and modern production.

These are my first releases, so please don't judge too harshly! 🙂 I'd really appreciate it if you gave my music a listen and shared your thoughts.

I'd especially love to know which songs you enjoy the most.

🎧 https://hyperfollow.com/bemaro

Just to clarify how AI is used in my project: I write all the song lyrics myself. The instrumentals, arrangements, and vocals are generated using Suno AI.

BEMARO is my personal music project, and I'm experimenting with different genres and sounds. These are my first releases, so I'd really appreciate any honest feedback!
