Description : Been A while since I put something new up. Been working on this when I can find the time. This is my busy season as a UPS driver so finding time is tough. Lot's of OT. This might be the first song I have posted without a lead guitar. :) I just have not had the time to give it a proper lead. Opinions, comments and reviews welcomed. The last 1 minute or so definitely needs work as I didn't get to fine tune the sound and clean it up.
Thanks for listening.

Nice southern sound, lonestar music? I definitely dig the overall sound and you have some cool chops on that guitar. Some of the transitions seem less fluid though and that takes out some of the overall punch this has. Also i really think its the wrong snare drum on here, too high in sound, might be taste though. Keep it gritty, cheers man

Thanks brosef. I ##### at drums and don't really know how to alter #####. I really need to get better at flushing things out and cleaning my tracks up. I tend to move on to the next song in my head.
Thanks for the listen and feedback.

Powerful stuff right here! Your guitar/bass playing is very professional sounding. I'd be shocked if it's not the case. There is a quality difference with your guitar/bass and your drums. I'm sure your guitar and bass was played live, and is not synthetic. Your drums may be, however that is fine. Might I recommend using a specific reverb setting on whatever program you use. Preferably something such as "Big Room" where the drums can have that more realistic sound, as oppose to it sounding...not robotic persay, but to clean. And there's nothing wrong with getting a little dirty. ;)

Nevertheless, I absolutely enjoyed this! Faved! Take care, and keep this up!

Thanks Ookami, yeah I agree the drums need better treatment to sound "live" and fit in more. Will have to work on my drum production skills. Appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a comment.

Gritty, Dirty, Driven and just down-home-style rock.. loved it. Awesome groove. as I listen to this my head is shaking up and down to this beat. It needs a Chris Cornell like vocal to complete this.
great work

Lol...thanks and yeah I try to be friendly. UPS management does put us under enormous pressure for performance. He might have been having a bad day. Thanks for listening.

I seem to be having the opposite problem to you. Signed off work with far too much time and not enough money. Anyway, this is sounding like a solid bit of rock music. It doesn't matter that theres no lead because the rhythm is fat. Niceley blended with the bass and the drums which are also very good.
You should tell UPS to stick it and make more tunes because i for one am enjoying your style.

Right on Bro...I would love to tell UPS to stick it. If it was a 9 to 5 job I could tolerate it, but they force the OT down your throat. I agree most of the song holds up without a lead guitar. A couple parts need something. Either a tasty guitar lick or an Organ/Keyboard. Appreciate you giving it a listen and leaving some feedback.

Question is that do you use cutting before mix or not?
Best, Danke

Thanks Danke...not sure what you mean by cutting? I usually record my takes and then if there are spots that need cleaning up I will punch in where needed. After I get my takes to where I like them I will start EQ'ing each track. Fine tuning tone and smoothing out any conflicting frequencies.

It's tracks like this that make me wish the vocals that come out of my face were as good as the ones that stay in my head.

Thanks man....I know that feeling well. Most of my tracks have some type of accompanying vocals...in my head. Getting them on to a track is a whole different story. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a comment.

Description : This one is special. The Monzder Squadd is tired of seeing and hearing about all the awful things going on around the world, and in our own country. Our friend and fellow Splatterhouse ENT member Flat2Forge told us about some of the news from his side of the world, so we dedicate this one to him, and to Ukraine, and everywhere in the world where people are suffering. Hope you like it!

Not my lyrics.
The experiment began with asking GPT to write lyrics for a 3-minute house track; I ended up with way too much text, and I don't sing that fast. Next, I started coming up with melodies for the vocals, recorded the vocal parts, added instruments, and reworked the melodies, drum, and bass lines over and over again in an attempt to create a cohesive whole.
I made extensive use of JS: Vocoder (by Geraint Luff).

I hope you enjoy

Description : Ah this track. There's a little something for everyone in this, including some EDM inspired stuff. The Sewer Maawb's vibe is meant to invoke the hip hop and trap sound from 99-2012, and there are many influences in that timespan, one of those is Timbaland. Hope you enjoy it! Additional vocals by Rob Fame of The Monzder Squadd.

Description : This is cyberflares track nightdrive. He was kind enough to let me jam out with it. Which is what I've been doing the last two nights. So huge thanks to him for letting me. All I did was add some guitar that hopefully sounds like guitar but also doesn't... ;) I've been experimenting with pushing the sounds I can get from guitar to blend with electronic music.
