The best way is to play live

I would get an honest review before you generate any buzz about yourself...people will form life long opinions of you in the first 7 seconds...

The christian hardcore scene has a band called Demon Hunter who is made up of members of some of the very big christian hardcore acts and their first demo sucked and was hyped beyond belief... now they are "ok" but people still want to kill them and use them as a reference for everything cheezy in the christian hardcore scene. It got so bad that their debute performance at Cornerstone was canceled because people honestly thought it was all a joke...and it's still hard to tell if they're for real :)
