no preference, generally i will listen to samples from youtube or soundcloud, and if the band are relatively unknown or new, will listen to samples on their OHP.
Yonige, anyone? Been into this girls lately after getting their second demo last year. Bought their first mini album, Coming Spring that been release last week and been spinning it non-stop.
My vote goes to FLiP. Their old sounds were great and their new sound though leaning towards softer sound, its still better than Aldious. Never really can click with Aldious new vocal and sound change. At least i still listen to FLiP new material from time to time.
