Two nits, 1) think the vocals could come up a little bit in the mix and 2) that bass is great but it is dominating the track a little to much I'd would like to have more of the guitars in the chorus and less of the bass (but it may still reign during the verses).

Just my 2 cents of course, fantastic track well done!

To be honest I couldn’t find any constructive criticism, it just worked.

Is it all on Bass again?

I like your stuff, very college rock, your vocal is always good, in energy and tone.

Lots of movement in the track and lots of stuff to keep my ear busy.

My style too.
Great track.

Love this song, from the picked bass, to the excellent drums.

Blimey, what talent.

Love it.

Very polished this with the fantastic driving bass sound the hero. Could imagine this doing well in the States too. You've got your particular genre well and truly wrapped up. Good on ya!

@MichaelA (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21274) through a TC sub n up (set for octave + with no sub) for the lead stuff also sometimes put the rythmn tracks through a harmoniser to thicken them up a bit but it's a pedals not plug ins

Couldn't follow the lyric here or on soundcloud which I'd have liked to have done...but your fingers were probably tired after all of that bass wizardry 8)

ps i've got a spare guitar lying around if you ever want to borrow it :)

pps but why would you ;)
