My first project named BlaudE. Started doing rock music about 3 months ago and this is my first attempt at something I envisioned. I tried going for a bit of Smackdown vs. Raw type vibe with some shoegaze mixed in and a bunch of genres that I'm still learning. Feedback would be appreciated. Hope you enjoy!
