'Thanks For Nothing' (Demo Version)

Thanks For Nothing (Demo) by Science Heroes

Here is another example of a Science Heroes song in the early stages of development. For this one I took the liberty of adding some synth instruments on my own--just suggestions for melody lines, etc. We have yet to do an official recording of this song but we have a video of us preforming it live in our practice space. You'll notice how differently the final version turned out.

I think the final version is much improved from the demo. What do you think?

New World (Acoustic Sketch Version)

New World (acoustic sketch version) by Science Heroes

Science Heroes has a number of different ways in which we develop songs. One of those ways starts with me and my guitar. Basically, I write a song complete with lyrics and chord progression (as you do). At that point, the song sounds a lot like the above track.

When I feel like I've done as much as I can do on my own, I bring the song to band practice and Josiah starts to flesh it out with electronic instruments. During this step in the process, Josiah will usually come up with a key bridge or breakdown that pulls the whole thing together. In this case it was the 'extro'.

Have a listen to both versions; let us know what you think.
