Biography
Aberdeen, United Kingdom
:( is the musical pseudonym for the Scottish artist Marty J Milne, based in Aberdeen, Scotland. :( performed prominently as a band through 2006 and 2007 (with various line up changes, however all recorded efforts were completed solely by Marty, with the exception of the First Blood E.P. which included sampled live drums by Adam Florence) Often incorrectly described as nintendocore or 8bit, :( calls themselves a “fakebit” band because their sound is not true chiptune. They have received some press coverage including articles in NME & Rock Sound. To date, :( have released one EP, “First Blood” (November 2006) and one full length album, “Kawaii” (February 2009) (published on a Japanese record label, its import-only status fueled :(’s cult status).
:(’s 2nd album “World Wide Web arrived as a download only on Xmas day 2011, which can be downloaded from http://colonopenbracket.bandcamp.com/

Give It A Shot is also a pretty nice song. Love the soft intro.

V I think the vocals fit <3's very much. They make the song sound so young and innocent.

V Listen to <3s, you will notice that the vocals don't matter, you feel it.

The only reason why I like this is because of the 8-bit. I like the vocals, but it just doesn't match the music and makes it shitty. Either he needs to go instrumental, do vocal correction on his voice, or change the style a bit. I could see his vocals working if the 8-bit was all replaced with guitars.
