Listened to the first track and I liked it. I’ll check out more later on. How would you describe your music. And who are your influences?

Bob, do you know how to code?

Just kidding man, I'm on the 4th track, so far I really like it musically, I really like the guitar and vocals.

I really like this 5th track, the way it sounds, really nice.

6th track, this has a kind of a Bad Company feel, nice groove I really like the singer's voice.

7th track really like it too. This might be my favorite.
I like the feeling of the whole thing, Dark, but upbeat?
Good job man, I really listened to the whole thing. I hardly ever do that.

Three different songwriters out of 7 songs leave the sound kinda all over the place, tbh. This album is kinda weird for me as it's a combination of a couple tracks that were written a long time ago that didn't make the cut on the previous EP, tracks written by other people (current and former members of the band), and tracks written more recently.

I feel like the album gets stronger as it goes on with those last 3 tracks all being really fantastic. My favorite is probably track 6. My lead vocals are on track 5 which kinda feels out of place on the album, but hey, f&%k it, it's a good song.

Listing all of my influences would take too long, lol. What bands do you hear in this?

That was you, singing on the fifth track?

Great job! That's not an easy type of song to sing. You've got a good voice man.

That's a good song too. How much of the writing did you do on all of it?

Listened to the first track - reminds me of Eve6. I like it. Going to load up the rest of it in the car.

I’m jealous - nice work!

Friend,

It reminds me of Green Day. Do you have any plans to incorporate an organ and holy themes?

Yours,

I liked the first song the best... but that one almost sounds like a different band, compared to the rest (I listened to first 5 songs)

I wrote all the music (other than the guitar solos) and lyrics for track 1 and tracks 4-7 (I did do the meager lead work on track 5). The drums are programmed, and I helped tremendously with those (definitely went a little nuts with those on track 4, lol), though they were based in part on live recordings of a former drummer. Track 2 was written entirely by the lead singer, and track 3 was mostly written by a former band member.

We have plans to incorporate an organ occasionally as our drummer is also a really good keys player, and our lead singer is also an excellent drummer. However, no real desire to deal expressly with religious themes. A Christian rock label is essentially the kiss of death in rock n roll.

I’m getting a Van Halen meets Blink 182 vibe based on that link. Not bad man!

Edit: add some wolfmother in there based on some additional listening. I like the sound
