Re: Even if we're just... Drinking in the Dark (reviews)

hoblit: the plaintive western blues vibe morphing in and out of that more upbeat sounding chorus part (though i guess the words aren't more upbeat) is just splendid. oodles of vibe. i feel like i'm with you out in some desert bar. super good. Thank you! Again, I love it when my music can promote a ...

Re: Even if we're just... Drinking in the Dark (reviews)

Soft Rick : This sounds late 70's, early 80's and seems to embrace that cheesy sound. Don't get me wrong, the performance is mostly solid and the lyrics aren't bad. It's just the instrumentation and effect choices that box it into that category. Which isn't my favorite but I do have a soft spot for...

Re: Even if we're just... Drinking in the Dark (reviews)

Hoblit - Wow. Another great one. Really moody without being morose, and effective vocal harmonies. Great guitar work. Damn. Another possible contender. Thank you! Hoblit Nice guitar right out the rip. Sweet intro. Kinda Tarantino esq. This has a dark tropical feel to it. I can hear this in an actio...

EDIT: I'm not sure what happened but the first half of my post was missing and I've updated my reviews for A-L. Add : Classic Add. Love this sound overall. The soft cadence with the filler guitar with those warmer tones is noice. Using the word again, classic is the sound of your songfight! voice. ...

Re: Song Fight! Live 2024

July is wide open for me. I have work-friends out there so that's a double excuse for me to book this. First weekend is handicapped by the Thursday (U.S.American) holiday before and JB's camp would be a tight fit for their 15th plans, which is a Monday. Looking around in this thread so far, that lea...

Leah had a good idea. Can we all write 1000 songs about Glenn Case?
It's probably be easier to do covers, there's at least a thousand to choose from!

Re: I set my chair by the road to watch (A Grand Parade prefight)

So, the optional challenge shouldn't be advertised lest you want a thousand Glenn Case and/or Glenn related projects submitted for this one fight. Don't say you weren't warned. I mean, he's the shoot-for-the-moon-and-even-if-you-fail-you'll-be-amongst-the-stars type guy so you're really askin' for i...

Re: I guess I'll carry on (I've Got Baggage reviews)

Great Fighting! Berkeley Social Scene Nicely put together tune. I dig the soulful keys weaving in and out, adding a dynamic to the other instruments holding the rhythm. I like the changes to help break it up a bit as well as the minimalistic guitar solo. I appreciate the mix and charming 'aged' soun...

Re: I guess I'll carry on (I've Got Baggage reviews)

Hoblit - You got the memo to rock the heck out. You passed near my neck of the woods in your lyrics. I dig the periodic backing vocals that come in this. This tune doesn’t overstay its welcome. I would maybe EQ some of the harsher frequencies in your guitar distortion or maybe double it in the stud...

Re: The only thing that settles my nerves are (Strong Coffee reviews)

Yowza, that is a huge improvement, Hoblit! I'm not gonna lie, when I first listened to the submitted version, I was trying to figure out whether it was a troll entry. I've had revised versions substituted after the fight went up before. Perhaps the fightmasters will grant clemency for a long time v...

I'm not very practiced up and I'm certainly rusty when it comes to recording these days. Something I'm working on currently...
