I appreciate it brother!
I wrote all the songs and played acoustic and some electric guitar. Brought in a couple of buddy musicians of mine who helped fill out the sound. On "Addiction", that's actually my sister singing on the first verse and chorus. Glad you dig it...

Would you mind providing some production details?


All done in my home studio. Old arse software, Cubase and Reason for beats. I write and play everything on those tracks, the 1st one is just beats, bass, and keyboards, an old Korg that I love. The 2nd track is live guitars, bass, keys, Reason beat, Myself and my fiance actually singin the little chorus. AKG condenser for the mic'd stuff. Pretty basic. Just try to work with the tools I have, ya know.

Juice, I really like the mood and vibe of that second one. You should write some verses around that catchy chorus. Good stuff!

Great stuff! I liked "How You've Grown" and "Telephone" best.

What instrument did you play in the band? How did you record the tracks?

Right on. Hope to hear your stuff. What's your band name?


We haven't settled on a name yet, haven't played live at a venue yet so we haven't had to, just been focusing on writing songs so far. We'll have to come up with one soon before the EP comes out.

The name of the EP is gonna be "Remind Me Never To Forget"

That first song reminds me a little of Brown Sugar, just the melody and the way the guy is singing it.

I don't play bass that much, but I was messing around, and recorded this on my lunch break months back.

Just a little bass groove

I have a bunch of shite on my vine and Instagram. I'll link soundscloud in a bit.



I normally play this slower, but I was trying to fit it in 15 seconds.

LINK





This is from when I was 16 I was into the screamo shite. I'm on drums and vocals in this, although 3 of us were vocalists. I'm doing the choruses mainly. Crazy how much my taste has changed from then to now. The sound quality is very good though.

Listen to Abandon Ship



Here's one of my sound clouds. There are some demos I made for a game I did music for. And then two covers. The Gary Clark Jr. cover is decent I suppose. LINK

My daughter''s song. LINK Please give it a listen, which actually gives her a vote. Then, give her another set of votes by selecting the amplify options of FB, Twitter and Tumblr. You don't have to have accounts; just let them open new windows and it gives her a vote.

You can vote every 60 minutes. Since this is the only site I ever lurch on, I know there is a LOT of traffic and I know you guys and gals can give her vote count a serious boost! Voting ends Friday night at midnight PST...2:00 a.m. CST for those here in LA.

Thanks!

You're selling yourself way short. Your "Atlantic City" was great. Solid voice.

Maybe I'm just out of touch, but I liked all of those tracks.

What are you using to produce the game music? You seem to have a quality voice.
