I always get stick for posting unfinished stuff...so here is a finished track!!!

This is a tune the band usually jam but at the last practice we finally found a chorus riff, so I have finished off the track in Cubase (2 nights of hard graft here! )

The words are a bit cheesey (but I always thought the tune was) but I just had to have a stab at writing lyrics as I've written about 1 song of lyrics in the last 3 years....

The lyrics don't really go anywhere, and probably aren't the finished deal....but its like an album opener type statement...thats definitely where we are heading (an album) cos we have spent 2 years working on this band...its time to make a proper go (thats what the song is about basically)....see what you think...its a broad range of influences...

I can't believe you used to front dink 182. pretty good this be. sounds a bit like the cure in places (small bits) and the other bits sounds like brit pop almost. the words arent exactly shakespeare but hey, who gives a flying cunt.

fuck i have no idea.

hello kielan!

[Keilan 303]

Thats all the seal of approval I need!

[Dan Atom]

I like it all except the lead guitar section around 3:04 which in general seemed out of time to my ears!

Other than that though, good job. Production ideas are very good, and you can tell a lot of time has been spent on it.

"make your move..." section with double time drums is my is my favourite part of the song

Reminds me of bands like A and the vines... or at least for fans of those bands.

[Alkaline]

I like very much so. I agree with Dan about the off-timing of the lead bit, but on the whole its a nice poppy song. Can we look forward to a live outing any time soon??

[Keilan 303]

Heh cheers guys. I dunno why I was playing that lead out of time...I was listening to a boom box recording of it and I played it ok then but I think I have sped it up.

As for a live gig....its taken 2 years to get 2 complete songs......maybe 2018 we'll be ready

Aren't Powdermonkey playing Drummonds soon?

I like the track - cheery upbeat stuff to light my rather dingy (shite lightbulb) room at the moment. Noice.

We aim to please!!

by a fucking mile the best thing you've put up so far. downloaded this last night but didn't get a chance to listen to it today, really pleasantly surprised. singing style really suits you, seems a lot less forced and a hell of a lot more honest, really liking it a lot. can't remember who the hell it reminds me of, thinking a band from wakefield called ultrasound from about 5 year ago, as if they'd taken a load of speed and got motivated or something.

the drums on it sound a lot better than most of the stuff you usually do, are you using any triggered samples or anything?

well impressed.

[Keilan 303]

Thanks man! Glad people are liking this...unfortunately we've just lost our practice place so the band is probably back on hold

Everything was done "in the box" as it were, its just a load of drum patterns I drew in the drum editor (dear santa...please give me a midi controller!!!!) then routed it through groove agent. I really like Groove Agent for getting good drum sounds quick, the velocity settings on it are great, some great sounding rim shots. The guitars and bass are all through amplitude.

I've now picked up an ADAT machine so we'll start recording a proper version of this with real drums and guitar amps once we get a new practice pad.
