Hey Spindlebox! (Alice Sweet Alice)

Hey, I probably forgot to comment about your band's free demo CD "Singles."  I downloaded it during the SXSW talk and really liked what you guys are doing.  I was just going through some music stuff and ran into it again then pulled you up on Discogs.  Had to laugh at the one reviewer's description (though I really like all the bands mentioned):
 

 "Take the turbulent undercurrent of Joy Division, add edgy guitar-synth crunch and hooks ala Garbage, drop in the haunting post-punk of Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees, a dash of Love and Rockets psychedelics, and polish the whole mix with angst-meets-curious inclinations inspired by The Cure's rhythmic urges. Something like that with a twist.”

 
Once I can get a few things sold I'll have to contribute for an album or two (I saw you have digital downloads from your website).
 
Keep up the good work! 

 
Hey Scott, is this how you chose the name of the band
 

 
(WARNING - LANGUAGE)

I've been enjoying my new purchases all day and, if anyone else is curious, they should at least try out the free album "Singles" which can be downloaded from off their website www.alicesweetalice.com 
 
I'm listening to the albums in chronological sequence so it would be interesting to hear the growth as you go along (and you do).  I couldn't help but wonder what your first album might have been with drums like that of the Cure (interesting tom lines, etc.).  

I try to support lots of members I meet in the various forums I'm in, but it's always easier when I enjoy the music.  Downloading "Singles" made me want to hear more. 
 
I may have a couple of minor comments later, but I want to see how things have progressed after the first two albums. Just started the first song of your third album - and already I can hear more maturity, there was a little bit of tentativeness in some of the older vocals that some confidence, experience, learning and letting go can help with.  Sometimes you have to venture into slightly uncomfortable territory to figure out what you're capable of (applies to both the male and female vocals).  So far I can say that the female vocals are sounding much better!  (Haven't heard any male vocals on the third album yet.)

Wow, for online collaborations they sound very good!
