Real catchy this. You could add more energy or character to your voice though and perhaps watch tuning in the high notes. Otherwise funky rock-meets-beach-boys vibe going on. I love it! :P

Good old-fashioned straight-up rocker.

Great guitars...I loved the way it changed gear for the first solo...really took off there. Great playing too.

Beach Boys vibe for sure with the backing vocals topping it off. Modern-sounding guitars give it a more up-to-date sound as opposed to the cleaner and nowhere-near-as-good original guitar work from the BB's

Hi Neil, knew you were a closet rocker! Great guitar playing and tones, authentic sounding chuck berry style. Good vocal too, suited the song. Sounded like great fun to do!
Nice one!
Cheers

Berry nice rocker Neil.
Lots of energy and a great catchy chorus.
Guitars (as expected) are the star of the show.  ;D ;D
Vocals need a tweak here and there but think you know that..

Strong contender IMHCO.

Hi Neil,

Surf's up.

Beach Boys on steroids. Cool backing vocals.
Cracking playing and bass groove.

Such great energy and fun. Cheered me up after several rubbish weeks at work.

Solid rocker Neil!
I love songs like this, you know what you'll get, nothing more, nothing less.
However, there are a few small but very effective deviations from the norm in there that really kept my interest up.
Interesting mix between the more rock oriented parts (read Chuck) and more pop (read Beach Boys) and some other "styles" as well.
Very enjoyable, and great fretwork as we are accustomed to from you!
Bravo!
