Mar 22, 2007 11:39 am Cool riffage! Black Mountain has a great (and I mean GREAT) guitar sound. Love that.
Reminded somehow of a "Bomber" era Motörhead (c'mon, you're impressed that I got an umlaut in there, aren't you!?).
Nice stuff, sir.
For a non-English speaker, the singer is doing a bang-up job. I've played in "Euro" bands (mostly Italians), and it's gotta be tough for them.
Mar 22, 2007 10:28 pm Black Mountain - Love the lead guitar tone on that one...nicely brought forth. Proponents of a cleaner, more organized production sound might be unsure about this track, but I like the stuff that sounds a bit on the sloppy side, so this is right down my alley. Seriously! I like how the groove just sorta trucks along without giving a damn. :)
Coke - I like the chord progression in this one. The bass guitar just sorta gets lost in this, though.
Johnny Malone - Kinda Judas Priest-esque. Nice mix job on the drums, although the cymbals could ring out a bit more. Again, the bass is a bit MIA in this one. Also, you could probably use a little more EQ independence for the vocals. The actual vocals themselves are fine, but the pitch of them in this song is pretty close to the guitar.

Mar 22, 2007 11:16 pm 3 really good rockers there Kaos, Of the 2 I think I like Johnny Malone the best, though I agree the bass needs to be brought out in the mix it is kind of lost. Vocals in all 3 sounded fine to me, though kind of hard to hear in the 1st 2, so might want to think about bring them up a bit in the mix. All in all a nice sound on all the 3 though, they have live sound to them.

Mar 23, 2007 01:57 am TallChap - I am impressed! I have the umlaut on my keyboard as standard (french keyboard!!!) i like Back M the best. The singer is getting better as time goes on.
Thermocaster - As we are a 'sloppy' band by nature we just dont give a damn !! LOL I'll try and get time ths weekend to remix.
Olddog - I like live sound, you just continue even when the errors appear ;)I'll look at the bass levels
Thanks guys for your time in listening i appreciate it!
Mar 23, 2007 04:25 pm You've got a really good garage-band sound going and i mean that in a good way. Just kinda play it and spray it keeping it real simple. Rock at it's root! The vox sound really good for a someone who's non-english especially. I think my fave is Johnny Malone.

Mar 25, 2007 02:56 pm Gotta agree with TallChap on the Motorhead referance indeed. Especially on Coke. I did indeed like the guitar tone on Black Mountain, I'm a sucker for that fuzz tone. Coke really just drives along nicely and keeps a kind of punkish feel to it. Johnny Malone I will also agree that the bass needs bit more punch to it. It is there but just as stated above gets lost in the mix. I recommend a healthy dose of compression and a slight EQ boost, very slight I might add.
Otherwise, hell ya straight ahead rockin stuff.
