Congrats to the Rivals!

Berkeley Social Scene : This has a good groove throughout, with even better than usual BSS guitar playing/inventiveness. Good bass/vocal/drums and no complaints with this mix. I am a great fan of the verse, pre-chorus, chorus and solo breaks. I do think the bridge feels a bit out of place - a too-h...

Up To My Neck The Mellfire Trifecta When I was just a boy I had a favorite dog That leash was an extension of my arm When I turned 17 she broke my heart by mistake Expiring one night on the floor of the barn It took some time to handle heavy feelings of hurt To let myself be quiet in my mind I tried...

I’ll be done late tonight!!

Chili Dogs and Rum The Mellfire Trifecta I can wear a funny hat And serve you nothing but junk I can take away your right To know what products have shrunk There’s nothing that can stop me From appreciable gains As you scramble round the aisles Seeking someone to blame At least you know there’s opti...

Mellfire done whipped somethin up and delivered it to the FM.

You are right about that sir.

Pigfarmer Jr. Interesting low-key beginning is powerful and I enjoyed the plinking piano being more prominent than it is in later sections. I like your chorus chord progression and your guitar fills throughout are tasty. Additional listens got this chorus good and stuck in my head. Think my neighbou...

Sorry About the Mess The Mellfire Trifecta People want to move in mysterious ways Never really knowing what gives or who pays What’s the point of following plans? Throw it up, see where it lands All I ever wanted was clear in my mind Somebody who knew the value of time When to put the babies to bed ...

The Trifecta is in. Couldn't make the optional challenge fit -- or make it fit the challenge.

Pigfarmer Jr I needed a couple of listens but this one got under my skin. The production is awesome. This offers a great arrangement, great vocal, nice harmonies, a perfect bridge, and you have changed the strumming at times to keep things moving. Really nice guitar playing and tones. The only thing...

Just a Theory The Mellfire Trifecta Looking at my face as I stare into space My teacher tries, apace To reach me in this world Can’t fly with this bird I’m jumping high on my trampoline And in a movie scene Where a beauty queen’s on the sidewalk, all eyes on the sidewalk God bless the wind, my enabl...

Mellfire Trifecta is in. There's repeated stuff to meet the challenge. I repeat: there's stuff.

Congrats again, Mellfire!

Thanks v much!

The Evertree Forest I’m loving the guitar on this, especially in the verses. So clear and bright. I thought your chorus was going to stay bouncy and light – maybe go faster/busier – but you took an interesting turn before the zippy musical section. Smooth vocals when you do your low singing. Nice! M...

Another week, another cool-ass Mellfire Trifecta song. The song structure is unique, the lyrics are great, and is that a real accordion? My only complaint is that the mix is a bit flat; some more compression would make that kicks bass stand out a bit more, and would give the drums the toughness to ...

Thanks so much!!

I Don’t Need Luck I don’t need luck, if all my dreams are dead I don’t need luck, no roses on the bed And when I sleep, the wolves are at the door And in the street, there’s more of them each day I feel the heat, oh I don’t need pain, I need a new vocation To maintain, one that’s less destructive To...

The Idiot Kings The first section elicits a dreamy state and then hits us with a 50’s style piece that I really like – gone too soon.... but wait! I feel the second section is great too. A few harmonies that could be fine-tuned but this section does rock. The odd, third section I represents the time...

From Outer Space A creaking of the blinds and a day begins Whose chances of success are clearly razor thin People swarm the lawns and now they’re looking in Luck is just a relative you rarely see That used to hang around with you endlessly It’s probably allergic to your lack of energy Roll the stone...

Mellfire is in!
