This web site is design for the bands which do not have knowledge or budget to make web site from scratch. CMS part is intuitive and easy to use.
This template had been rejected at the templateforest, and I am interested what can I do to make this site better in overall.
Careful with your font sizing/css for the link styles in the nav bars. As you can see by the screenshot, it's pushing contact to a second line, and it doesn't fit.
The pipe/line character next to the story title
It makes it look like a quote. I'd strike that style from your h1 or h2 or whatever.
email and password fonts are too small
Spend a little more time styling this login box. It's a small touch but does make a difference.
Positive Feature
The header is cool
Not sure if you can do that for every band, as you said this was a template. Having worked with band sites before, getting images from them is rough enough, getting nicely laid out poses like the one in the header is even tougher. Still, this looks great. If you can get other bands to do anything even remotely similar, you're off to a good start.
Overall your template is off to a great start. I'd suggest some minor tweaks to CSS styles, and consider how different bands will use/break it. Have you tested on a few bands? Give it away for a month or to say three different bands and see what issues they run into
