Thanks very much man. I finished it today

Some helpful comments, thanks guys. Gonna turn up the drums and geetar. The current clean vocals are going to be turned down and used as backing for a more raaar but still cleanish vocal take.

Ah, what a gig! I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Gig of the year so far One Man Race - on top form as usual. Quite a fan of the lead vocals, played very tightly. Got the afternoon off to a fine start, very enjoyable to watch. 4/5 25th Is Not An Option - as with the couple of times I've seen them before, they started off very well and got gradually boring. You can tell they have it in them but I didn't think it was a very polished set. 2/5 Taking Chase - going on the 2 original TC songs, these guys are going to creep up the thumbs-up meter. Could never have guessed it was their first gig, sounded superb. Exciting tunes, nice different sound too. The recycled Living for the End and The Confession were done very nicely, great new touches. Will look forward to seeing them with more tunes. 4/5 Granite Emcees - I was looking forward to these, being different to the average band of the gig but I'm afraid I wasn't very impressed. They came across as rather amateur and the backing tracks all sounded the same, dunno if it was just one long one... Not sure if they were freestyling it in bits but it sounded like it. nil poi/5 The Upstarts - wonderful. I wouldn't have expected anything less. Nice set, tight as always, grand for a bit of a boogey. Hit the Bottle is the tune. 4.5/5 Thinkpol - OMFGM8. Fantastic. I had built them up in my head for so long and definitely not disappointed. The melodies, the energy, the total rocking out. Is This Goodbye and The Rhino Rules are magic live. 'mon the return to the 'deen. Made for lovely house guests too. I have a very drunken recording of Matt doing Wings by Skylar. 5/5 for that alone. Sonic Boom Six - what can you say, really? Bloody great they were. The new tunes are sounding mighty and the old ones were done as good as always. Northern Skies and Blood For Oil were highlights of the night. Monkey See, Monkey Do too, best dancing song ever. Can't wait for the new album another 5/5 Thank you Kirk! P.S. I somehow acquired a couple of mix tapes/CDs that look wonderful. Off for a wee listen now.

thinkpol owned. upstarts were gr8 too, granite emcees were intereasting, and sb6 really isnt my thing at all. the sound was spot on as well

.... was fucking awesome. sonic boom six were actually brilliant - i had so much fun. it was my second time seeing the upstarts and they were very good again.
