Wow, it's incredible how long it's been around. I first started assaulting the ears of this community back in 2009, but was too dense to realize there were boards until 5 years later. I know I've been telling people in my life how cool the idea behind the site was since I first found it, but I didn'...

Welcome, brother! I couldn't be more excited to be making music you. I also really look forward to hearing what FireBear sounds like!

This is my first round of reviews in a long, long time. They’re going to be pretty superficial while I get my sea legs back. Add: Like the sounds of the instruments. Appreciate the vocal harmony throughout, I’m always such a sucker for it. I really dig the post-chorus lead guitar line both times it ...

We don't know how to blues, but we're gonna try!

Edit: This one turned out weird. We're somewhere in that place between cliche, dark, and funny. Punk cheese.

I regret 2 things:
Missing the optional challenge (never again!)
Not using sleigh bells (probably again)

I wouldn’t know a good deal if it bit me in the face And every plan seems toothless till it proves it’s not I keep looking for teeth but ignoring my senses - (ignoring that) Trust costs too little And I’m too quick to sell it I never smell a bad deal when I kiss it on the face I never feel the teeth...

I'm in! This will be a special one for me. 10 years ago, I sat in front of a crappy laptop on vacation with my brother, and we recorded our first songfight together. We had a ukulele, our voices, and Audacity (and a random band name generator. "Ukulele Train and the Men" will ride again someday, but...

I'm also in! Also late! I've encumbered myself with a few hurdles this time 'round. I'm collaborating with someone over the internet for the first time, though this turned out to be much easier than I expected. We're calling ourselves "Bridger." I'm also jumping from Cubase to Reaper and this was my...

Foxglove by The Gauchos The needle dropped The aspirin popped Though I fill these orders often, I feel my heart stop on a dime but only grab nine cents to start again And that's eight cents sharp of out of tune One bar short of hallelu- And more beats per measure than I can produce And I can't seem ...

It's happened. At long last. I'm in again. But this time with people I work with, so I'll be submitting as "The Gauchos"
Foxglove (to my knowledge) has the toxic effect of speeding up your heart till you die. Fun!

Thanks, Pepper! Yeah, this puts rockstar (or at least famous engineer) back on the front burner. Got a new job this morning already, though! Apparently I'm marketable in this space now. :) I'm literally gonna start writing as soon as the next title is posted. I have to write a song that's so good th...

Alright, I'm in. I think it's been like a year :P But what is this title even? Woot! Glad to see you back, and good to know that soundcloud is good for something. :) I dunno about this title, but I'm often told there have been some better and some worse . The winners of these fights wrote great son...

Alright, I'm in. I think it's been like a year
But what is this title even?

That joke has been floating around my head, too. Now it won't seem organic if it's used!

Well, ok. Ok then. I will do something, that is for sure.

I'm falling to parse this one haha. Is this like "the war on ____" and we fill in the blank?

Ok. I joined the facebook page, so that's good!
Pick an animal, huh? I think I can tie this in with The Rat Brain. And George Orwell. I think.
And Lunkhead got me thinking in two chords, but then I ruined that with the bridge. Oh well. Life philosophy: close enough.
Anyway, I'm in!

Yes, I think you're right, a casualty of the time limit. Do you recommend using an entirely different beat in some sections, or just adding a fill from time to time? Right now I just have parts there or not there throughout... I hear ya! I think a different beat in the sections (chorus vs verse vs ...

Recall the man who's asking questions Well, he's running out of rats And it's time to pick another one The pig feels he should mention that the farmer grabbed the cat And the next grab could be anyone Pick an animal It's a quest for information, baby and he's the smartest farmer around Pick an anima...

Brand New: You Won't Know u5mm8ex8Vd4 If you disregard the 8 bar bridge in the middle (I know! Kind of cheating right off the bat, but this has been one of my favorite songs by these guys since they released it) this song only uses 2 chords. I didn't even notice for a long time and it's one of the ...

I read your whole reviews. Your feedback is always so specific and constructive, it's awesome. You're awesome.

Caravan Niveous Ooh, I like this one right away. Verse sounds really cool. Damnit, this is cool. :D I might have brought that rhythm guitar up a little more to give the song more impact at parts. I really like all the percussive sounds as the song goes on. G.U.N.S. Very eclectic. Very meta? Very pr...
