Hello all, I've posted a couple of Rock tunes and if you're inclined would appreciate comments.

"I might Bend" and "Rise Above".

http://www.unsignedbandweb.com/music/bands/1424/

In particular I'm curious if "I Might Bend" works? I liked how it turned out, but it's sortof experimental from a songwriting standpoint.
EDIT - I meant to say "Rise Above" was the experimental one...fingers on autopilot Embarassed apologies

Anyhow, appreciate comments on either tune - what works / doesn't work for you? Negative as well as positive comments appreciated. Hope you enjoy.

Smili...

I just listened to both of your new tracks and let me just say...... WOW!!!!

Incredible writing on both accounts!!

My favorite was 'I might bend'. I really like the acoustic intro and you did a great job with the transition to the heavier rock part of the song. EXCELLENT job mixing this and keeping the segways impactful! I really like the driving guitar riff as well. VERY COOL!

This kind of pushes at the genre a little, which I like. The vocals have a nice effect, and the harmonies are great, but could be a little louder in my opinion.

Arrow HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!! Everyone should go check these out!!!!

thanks to both of you for the comments...

unproject, I posted into your review thread concerning "Rise Above". thanks for offering. I noticed in my initial post I mistakenly said "I might bend" is more experimental - my mistake . Embarassed I meant to say "Rise Above" was more experimental ... Embarassed look forward to your review on that thread.

good stuff!! "On The Mountain" has a "Tragically Hip" feeling to it, and us Canadians love our Tragically Hip! As for "Rise Above" i noticed a little influece in the music of "U2" maybe? it's all amazing work!

cheers
