Just as I expected!..., the first demo to come is a two guy making a heavy stoner rock doom heavy psych band called "The new freaks". The first info about them: they have been reading the blog since we opened by 2011 and this is the band of Andrew Gomez and the drummer Collins from U.S.A, so people who read this, hats off and respect for this band and lets hear some examples of how you could begin to build your own projects without fear!

The New Freaks:
This is my first experience listening to people with the passion for making music and composing some heavy rock/ stoner music. The first track from their soundcloud demo jam is amazing. (the truth is that I'v been listening only to a few old heavy rock music and I get lose about the new scene since January 2013) so, the main riff is like a demo recorded by Gypsy Moth from 1985 (I love that stuff from gypsy moth), it sounds like an authentic song structure I could imagine how the voices and lyrics of this first track be like, maybe a growled and dirty voice, kind of Buffalo or Creedende! just imagine!... Or the voice of a girl!, I don't know about bands playing heavy rock where a girl sings, that could be amazing! If you know a band like that just put the name in the comments section.
The next track is an acoustic take, I don't know who will sing on this project but to be honest they know well maybe by intuition or because they took the example of every album that we here in sonidos primitivos had been published and discovered and loved to sickness! I told to you all this words because I think that every masterpiece need to have their highs and lows, the speed of an alcoholic night with noise and beautiful girls... and the relaxing night with yourself and some weed or just a glass of cold water!...
For example, the track Pyramids have an amazing slow and heavy guitar riff, its like some kind of sickness crawling for your ears! I need to listen whole song in a near future on the final release...
Some tracks like "tr ashy" remembers of my band, we improvise whole live set and we have a song with this rhythm I forget the name maybe "rockabilly?" hahaha... The next one needs more fluency, maybe because there is a semi clean guitar, I think a clean guitar needs to have more cares, more detail for enjoy the sounds, is a good take! a kind of Hendrix minor and major 9s at guitar... cmon you can compose a good one by this song structure, really i like it, it gives more variety to the classic all power chord album!...

I'm not a stoner doom expert but I'm a stoner with internet:
I will pray for you about finding a good bass player, I'm not talking about a bass virtuoso, I'm talking about somebody who play more by ear because this will help you to play long jam tracks or to improvise if you want to do some psychedelic long tracks while playing live, a bass player who knows when he should have the main presence while improvising and to know when he must left to only play drone notes when the guitarist is soloing... hahaha!...
The drummer plays amazing man!, he knows well the classic style of the 70's, he knows some techniques for drummers; maybe by ear or learning by himself. I dont know anything about drummers but he can blast a classic tom hits like mitch mitchell does or Ginger in the cream cover...btw this cover have your own sound style... step by step you need to have your own sound, that people need to say when they listen to some riffs of a song: "God, this track are from new freaks".
This is the important fact, about giving birth to your own sound its important working on this specially the guitar that have the main presence on your demos, the playing of Andrew is fine I think he don't need more he does exactly what he wants to and is not bad!, there is a example that we are not virtuosos but we are hooked with music and we love music!, and for a strange reason some virtuoso or people who says about themselves be artists are the worst people that I've ever know (talking about latin america) but I have know some foreign people like classical guitarists from asia or europe that are humble and friendly people, maybe this is a variable from country to country!...
I will wait for the final release for this demos, so keep reading and listening the works from The New Freaks!...
