Spot on song there you two, cant quiet figure out if the vocals are a very tiny bit quiet or not, also great guitar solo but might need to be a little louder in the mix so it gets heard properly. other than that i think it ROCKS.

good harmonies in the vocals, good guitar, solid as a rock bass and good drums.

Thanks a lot Andy . .I like your song 34, .it's got a Doors vibe . . I think you guys should use some effects on the vocal, .a little reverb or delay it will make it sound more up to date?? you guys have a lot of good stuff but the recordings seem very dry, unless thats what you're looking for ?
keep up the hard work bro ! Cool

thanx Andy, . I agree with you on the mix, . the drums were out in front of every song we did at this studio . . .??? I tried to tell the engineer, but oh well ??? thanx for the feedback

Slow down is a fantastic track erick... The recording could use some cleaning up, but you can definately hear the quality through the song. I continue to be impressed with your guitarwork, and the rhythm section in this song is really well developed!!! and I LOVE!!!!! the portion where the lyrics goes into 'slow down' and the music starts slowing down at the same time. Really well done!!!

The guitar work is wicked... loving the picked riff. Drums are tight... but they are a bit too quiet. Cool vocal tone, I like singers that have an edge to their voice. Interesting half time feel to the chorus section... Really fits in with the songs theme! great idea! Nice track, just the production that needs some work really to make the song stand out more. Wink

Thanx a bunch Ron and Zel for giving a listen and feedback, I greatly appreciate it !! yeah the recording could be cleaned up a bit, we went to a kind of NOT together studio, and you know the saying "you get what you pay for"

again thanx,
Erick

has an old style 70s feel to it. like the guitar work. not a fan of the vocal melody here, but song is listenable. I enjoyed the guitar solo - don't you wish there were still guitar solos? Nice guitar work - fit the song well with a definite personal style.

Hello Erick.

I like the song. Its catchy yet I can chill out to it at the same time. Your voice really suits the style of music. Plus I love the guitar solo. A song needs a great guitar solo to really bring it alive and I think you definetely have that going on!

thanx to truthfull and zombiecore for their recent feedback Cool

. .I dig it ! I'll be sure to check out your stuff. . . I'm not the singer in this tune, this is the only recording I have of this song and it's with a band I USED to be in, the singer's name is mark, . but the backround vocals in the chorus are me and my girl . .the same goes for a song called the zone in the pyschedelic rock catagory, only recording from old band, mark on lead vocal. . .thanx again!

Oh, man this just rocks, plain and simple!! I agree with smili about the 70's feel. Reminds me of The Who. It has a really good message to the lyrics as well. I think the drums are fine for this genre of music. The guitar solo is brilliant. Someone said something about 'wishing songs had guitar solos these days', well I'd encourage you to have a listen to Alter Bridge. Mark Tremonti runs on rocket fuel where solos are concerned.
Excellent stuff. I'll be putting this in my playlist for sure.
