Re: The out of tune vocals are (Your Undoing reviews)

I wanted to submit this earlier, but alas. Add - A slow burn with a build and drawn out melody. It starts with kind of a goofy umpah-loompah baseline that continues to turn me off, but then comes the warm and inviting vocal with its harmony. Your voice reminds me of Alan Sparhawk of Low, whom I love...

Re: hey listen to my new song (thread)

Seemingly out of the blue, you take a shot that leaves you doubled over. You pull yourself together, but things only go downhill. Then what? In my latest single, my reworked SF entry, Two Hits, I tell the story of a rough comeuppance. The tunnel is dark, but is there light at the end of it? It's the...

Re: I'm having a yard sale (Everything Must Go reviews)

Rone Rivendale - At 1:15, this is not really a full song and even these pieces don't really gel together. This reminds me of Devo, especially the keyboard riff part, which I like. The vocals are fairly tuneless, arhythmic and grating. The verse vocal is too hot and you are too close to the mic, you...

Re: I'm having a yard sale (Everything Must Go reviews)

BSS - Glenn on rhythm guitar, Martin on bass, me on drums, lead guitar and vocals. We did this the typical BSS way - we jammed some parts over an hour or two and created a structure with typically no idea as to the vocal melodies or the lyrics at the time. As per usual, we recorded the core parts li...

Re: Songfighter Videos on YouTube

If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling in confusion at dusk and, generally having a moment, I feel you.

In my Is This Real Life video here I try and fail to get a grip. See if you can find the point where I almost fall over reeling from motion sickness.

Berkeley Social Scene -I like the song but want a bit more chaos or more of a live feel.

If I was producing hand-claps would be on the cutting room floor. Geech’s guitars sound amazing! The trio is tight! Ken of course is on drums, he’s...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Three "Can't Let It Go"

Berkeley Social Scene  - another good opening salvo, great riff. The feel of the singing in the chorus needs to elevate a little more, I want to be carried up, and I don’t quite feel like it got there. Love the slide. I loved this documentary when I saw it, fun. WRT the chorus vocal, I actually wan...
