We started recruiting more members in , and now we are a 6 person strong team of live musicians. Our new material is much different. Every song is being written live too. No more sitting at a workstation arranging material. And thanks for including us in your roundup. Any press is good press. Thanks for the history, it is a useful explanation.

Its not everyday an actual member from the band replies! First off I apologize for saying your synths and productions suck. I do however feel they let you down on some of the tracks and that the idea and the originality is there — it could just be so much sweeter with a more polished production.

Now neither me or jszigeti are steampunks, however we are musicians and we were discussing the genre of Steampunk music as a whole which I personally believe will take off in one form or another, commercially speaking that is. Most of the bands I have heard seem to try to strike a balance between victorian era music sea shanties, saloon songs, circus music, romanticism with elements of industrial, punk, goth and EDM.

At the moment however I am struggling to find music with a sound that is perfectly matched to aestetics of a steampunk universe. It always winds up sounding too much in one direction or the other. I believe the band that becomes the most successful in the genre is the one that will truly capture the steampunk fantasy… but do it in a cool way. I appreciate the post-punk influences in your album and I think you should definitely stick with those influences.

As I said.. I definitely appreciate the direction you are trying to take. The song is crazy and circusey and kinda makes me feel like at a British circus in with a rock band playing. So my advice is stick to the cool of the victorian era.. If you want to give it a more quirky, bar-fight, victorian urban feel you might want to listen to the sherlock holmes theme which I believe does it well.

Approach rock from a post-rock angle but keep the energy of post punk. Use old world industrial elements sounds of steam, hammers, cannons intertwined with subtle but present electronic soundscapes.

Emphasize the bass which will in turn ephasize the grandeur of the track think inception score. I think they work with your voice. Best of luck with your new album man. Cool, thanks for the replies guys. It all just sounds so much more organic, now that we have a full band and a practice space to write in. Also, I forgot to mention, Mr T.

I do have to declare interest at this point as being a British b a folkie and c a steampunker. I would venture to suggest that it is difficult therefore to dismiss as a trope of the genre. I would also reccomend looking at the British contribution to steampunk, which is somewhat less than formal. I would ocusel against searching for a singular checklist of elements, as that would strap down the scene.

Well I think you ned to do a little more rsearch. I typed in steampunk music, and I listened to what the internet gave me. It bores me, as much as it might be entertaining to others. I liked some of the other sounds that steampunk bands incorporated into their music, just not that.

I do of course recognize that steampunk is a very broad term to apply. JDH: I had no idea what to expect from either band, and I just came away thinking they were both alright, but not my cup of tea. Like I said, it sounds like if you listen to their lyrics, it can be a lot more interesting of an experience. Inmunsapa: Again, those are not my labels; they are widely considered to be steampunk, and often are self-proclaimed steampunk artists.

Your three suggestions would certainly qualify as unique amongst the bands mentioned in my piece, but the ones in my piece are also unique amongst themselves.

Personally I think your blog post, and following comments were all very intelligent, and well thought out, especially as you have mentioned that this sub-culture is pretty new to you.
