Stylus vs. Stylus77

Forums: NZ Music,

I agree. I wonder who's been around longer? I believe Stylus have been using their name for a number of years but someone could probably correct me on that?

Stylus have a good album! Screw stylus 77 :P (never heard them)

stylus77 all the way. I just don't really feel anything towards Stylus's music.

yes he has a great voice, kinda iffy on the slide guitar though. and stylus are nothing more than incubus wannabes

incubus? have you even heard the band?

yes i have heard them, and i think they are bloody horrible.

They are worse than blindspott.

No they're not.

no they are bad (stylus that is) 'orrible pop nu-metal...the worst music to ever come out on the great wildside label....i had a dream last night that i told AD from Stylus 77 that I thought they were great musicians but I wasn't sure if it was entirely my thing, he seemed really upset in my dream but hey it was a dream. dreams are wierd....the stylus 77 track on Volume is nice, I like the live version better than the album one... a bit more raw,

hell nawwww STYLUS ALL THE WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

stylus are dope
stylus 77 are not

IN MY OPINION

dats roightttttttttttt

i doubt there are many people who like both bands .. kinda like marmite vs vegemite

so - little confusion

im with stylus 77 for sure .. and marmite too.. ya vegemite freaks !!

Isn't it more like thick rich beautiful melted chocolate on toast vs the scrapings out of the bottom of a jar of No Frills No Salt No Sugar No Crunch Peanut Butter?

You're a strange little man, aren't you...

Mr Egg rocks but yeah hes strange

Hi
stylus played at my school
i thought they were crap

Well that says more about yourself than the band. Why did you think they were crap?

@ least upthepunxegg is genuine in sincerity by honest frankness.

It's a little hard to appreciate an opinion when they haven't explained themselves.

Upthepunx,eggsplane youself,givegg a clear and detailed eggccount of the relevent structuregg of your comment.

Eggsellent answer

I have never heard Stylus 77 so I can't comment on their music. I have however heard Stylus.

I went to their gig at the Dux on Friday, they played with new damage (who were, as always, great :-)

I bought Stylus' album at the gig and have listened to it non stop since and it is truly great. The production is mint which I expected because Stylus recorded it themselves and with Paul and Dave in the band (producer and engineer for Blindspott's debut album) you can't ask for much more. Truly revolutionary how they have mixed Hip Hop and rock so well. And live these guys are awesome too, they have heaps of energy, they are totally tight and very professional. The songs are great and they even did a cool cover of a KISS song! These guys are the next big thing I have no doubt.

Album out now: Painkillers. BUY IT! Its fuckin great

//Truly revolutionary how they have mixed Hip Hop and rock so well

that's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
Stylus 77 are a Wellington band cut from the same cloth as Ben Harper and the Jon Butler Trio for those people who don't know. I think they've just released an album but they definately have an EP out.
Saw them in Dudedin earlier this year supporting Pluto...I was very impressed!!!!

NOT a good ad- seeing as the thread used for the harper et al cloth is made of 100& pure faeces

Stylus remind me of Blindspott.
Not saying that's a bad thing though.
I think Stylus are cool.

Unfortunately I have't heard Stylus77, but I hopefully will soon...

im in the same boat as you
stylus are wicked from what ive heard

yeah... bit of a curly one this. by the time i found out it was too late to do anything... not that i would've done anything anyway.
they sound totally different anyway.

anyway anyway anyway... sheesh... oh, and the STYLUS77 LP is out now too.
check our site for details and soundbites via Smoke CDs.
two other things:
i quite like Stylus.
Stylus, their management and their label are the only opinions on this issue that matter to us :-)

so what did those said parties make of it then? what was/is their opinion?

you could always relaunch stylus 76 with a new, better name. the name kind of sounds like a logo on one of those run-of-the-mill tee-shirts you get at hallensteins

'i quite like stylus'....what?

i'm trying to be nice sam, shut up.

Beloved;Precious,Nixegg Nixegg.....If you reggard the eggspression of thoughts,feelings and desires by way of units of speech from an egg as strange,then eggffirmative,eggstraordinary in manner and eggffect is myself.Thats just the way it is in 303land.EGGJOY

ok you've won me ova.

;)

There is no competition. Stylus 77 are cool, with good songs and a great LP (is 6 songs an LP?... an LP is less than an album, right?)

Stylus are derived from shitty american rap/metal bands and shitty NZ bands that emulate shitty american bands. Pointless and awful.

An LP is a longplayer, ie. an album.

we used the retail equation (length, number of tracks) and worked out it should be called an LP, figuring out the pricing was a bit of a 'mare though i gotta say.

good to see everyone is liking marmite on toast, with a nice cuppa tea that mum made -

I lovegg a good 1/2 dozen.

Mr Egg you ROCK

Frynpoptart you tastegg good.

oh am i just ;)

Stylus - Could they be the worst signed band in the country? i remember watching them play on space and they sounded like one of those shitty rockquest bands that dont even get past the first round. their songs are bland, boring and completely forgettable. their music is a steaming pile of shit.

i don't like stylus. i've never heard of stylus77

wow... did it take you long to think up that post?
;-)

Stylus backeggwards is sulyts.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but Stylus 77 use a lap-slide guitar in their set. That skill in itself takes more skill than playing rap/nu-rock/turd. I have no respect for stylus whatsoever.

the guys from stylus rock! get their album painkillers or see them live and find out for yourself. stylus77 couldn't even come up with their own name let alone compare to the talent of the real stylus (btw stylus have been around a lot longer too--and for those of you who think they are just like Blindspott they have been around longer than them as well). don't be fooled by that wannabee band known as stylus77...check out stylus instead

I agree.

you know, if you really tried you could be a bit more defensive and look like even more of a suck-up.
:-)

maybe we should put this one to the polls - even the lil devil on my shoulder is gonna vote stylus 77 - btw to vote you need to able to recite you abc's and thats not the txt alphabet either kids - should be a landslide

wow stylus fan...your awesome....i dont think stylus 77 stole that name, they probably hadn't heard of NZ's third best nu metal band
