this page, for Seraphim.
I was wondering what you guys thought of Seraphim. I'll offer my two-cents, then reply with yours, because I'm curious of what the over-all consensus is.
Here is what I think of Seraphim:
1. Are they a good band?
Hell yes they are. But only for a bunch of kids just getting started. If they were all like 30 and had been around forever, and put out some of the music that they do, I might not be so enthusiastic about their stuff. But on the whole, I would say that they have a lot of talent, and a good future ahead of them if they keep their shoulders straight.
2. Are they full of themselves?
Hmm. I would say yes. They are a bit too enthusiastic about themselves. Sometimes I get confused as to who are their fans, and who is actually in the band, because sometimes they act like they're fans of their own music. The thing that they do that bugs me the most is when they wear their own T-shirts. I mean, I realize that they are just trying to promote themselves, but it's a little much seeing a band wear their own T-Shirts.
3. Did they deserve to beat the Mad Cowboys at last year's Battle of the Bands?
I would say yes, and here is why. While the Mad Cowboys were a helluva band with a shit load of talent, all of their songs were covers. I would have voted for Seraphim (even though I didn't) because at least their songs are originals (except Say it Ain't So, of course).
To summarize, I would say that they are a half-way decent band that is fun to listen to. Are they going to be the next Tool? Probably Not. But I'm guessing if they really wanted to, they could have a decent career in front of them with a lot of work.
What do you think?
