Re: hey listen to my new song (thread)

Hi folks, today I released my EP, Some Kind of Detente. Sam recorded basics for three of these, originally done for SF years ago. Two I had already released, and two not. They loosely cover the same thematic ground, so it's nice to have them out there living together. Please enjoy and let me know wh...

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...

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...

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.
