Hi Folks

I have just completed recording my first album this month and I am having a hard time based on the feedbacks I got to determine which genre it is. It sound like a combination of progressive and grunge - is there a progressive grunge style? I appricate any feedback to help in this - you can listen to the tracks at  www.balinade.com

Thanks

Balinade

Well, listening to the few tracks you have on the web site I'd say it's rock music. I don't particularly hear a lot of progressiveness in it. It sounds well enough produced (over my laptop mind you) and the performance is good. But with a zillion sub-genres of every kind of music you can imagine, picking one listed at the header of PA doesn't seem fitting for what I hear. I've always though there should be a genre called KOR (Keyboard Oriented Rock). With the lead piano that I hear in these tracks that would be a fitting genre to be listed as.

I'd agree with singer songwriter. Although not in the same league as, I had thoughts of a Billy Joel style going on.

Hi Folks

I don't quite connect to the singer songwriter style - have you heard all the songs in the website (there are 4 songs).
I agree that there are 2 songs with parts that the singer is "alone" accompanied by a piano but I really don't think it represent the atmosphere of this album.  I did got some feed backs on progressive and some feed backs on grunge, this is why I thought of progressive grunge. I see you do not agree... Well, this is a dilemma from day1 of the album - hard to define...

yep.listened to all four ., and enjoyed them to.
singer songwriter ~ prog AOR ~ progressive  mixture within each song structure.with `symphonic` leanings in there aswell., strengthening to `power chords` to Bang it up a bit [cool]
your sound not akin to ., but reminiscent of `prog songs from [serge gainsbourg]` ., also but not akin to : early `elton john`
"a more expansive [momus]"
elements of `kevin ayers`
vocal delivery sorta `camel-esque` , but i`m still here undecided.another simily required.
ps. remember the old term `singer songwriter` is not to be associated soley with the feeling of `wimp` ., ie  the best heavy bands had the SS qualities such as Sabbath did., and the same goes for modern bands to [porcupine tree] to my ears are clearly SS prog sounds.

Hello to the forum

I have uploaded all songs of Balinade's album "Horseless saddle" to bandcamp. You are welcome to listen to the entire album - I promise there will be some interesting surprises over there...
Every feedback will be more then welocme.

Enjoy!
