Hi All,

Heres a brand new song for the weekend.

Its notable in that its our first autobiographical song and Its all about the joys of playing in a COVERS BAND!
Theres lots of references in here to some of our cover versions and although the music and lyrics are original, you will note the style is very reminiscent of our heroes. Namely the Stooges, Ramones, Sabbath, Clash etal.

Play LOUD for maximum enjoyment!


**Edited by Boydie to use the SOUNDCLOUD embedding feature**


6 guys in band for kicks, what could possibly go wrong?
Theres singers, guitars, bass and sticks and everyone just gets along
Spend our money on new gear . we gonna make it big this year …
we got a great rock vibe, we cover Keep yourself Alive, we have no fear.

hang on to your ego? No let it go.

whens the next rehearsal, who has booked the studio?
Whos turn is it to get the beers, who is playing romeo?
What songs shall we play tonight? Faster, louder keep it tight .
We will start with Into the Fire we will finish with Iggy and his Stooges, what a night!

The venue is the fiddlers Elbow where we play our first real gig
We even get our own soundman, we support a band called Face Fuck Pig
No time for a sound check, forgot the tuner what the heck.
Road Runner once roadrunner twice. 15 people go wild, weve no regrets!

Yeah - This was great Micky - Real live feel vibe and bags of attitude. Can hear all of the influences you mention plus some others as well. Can imagine this going down a storm live. Top stuff guys  :)

Really good - so much energy - I can imagine it live - with those down the front going wild , had a really good old fashioned 70s 80s feel about it

Really like this .... takes me back to my punk-loving days! Definitely hear early Clash in the rhythm section, nice job!

I find the lyrics a bit too clumped together, ie, not enough time/space to absorb them. Otherwise, well, it's rock n roll, init?

Yo Micky.

It's an 'in yer face' punky choon as raw as a raw thing!

Shades of early Mott the Hoople there,I'm hearing Ian Hunter in your voice.

The lyrics are a laugh and paint a very vivd picture of where we all have been at some stage,love it.  :D

The only thing I'd watch,is to leave a bar on your DAW at the start,so the first chords don't get partially chopped in the intro.

Nothing earth-shaking about this one - apart from shaking the earth with good times. Sounds great and the fun is infectious. Love the Romeo and 15 people lines. Sounds like a band I'd be happy to go and see. Or be in...

Hi,

Your list of influences didn't bode well. I am not a fan of any of those bands (just the opposite in fact) so I wasn't expecting to like this and....I didn't, really. Skub is right about the Ian Hunter thing though - dead ringer with a little bit of Tom Petty thrown in. It's not bad and you guys all play well but it just isn't my thing. It has energy and I get the references to others and to your history but I can't change the ears of a lifetime.

this is a strange song to appraise. Really liked it, loads of character. I need another listen...

It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

And there you have it.

Totally fun. Made me smile. I know just what I'd wear to your show. Motorcycle jacket and Chuck Taylors. Yeah. Love it.

Edit, there'd be some jeans too. Haha.

Mickey, hold on a moment, these red leather drainpipes are a little tight, and where does one pin that bumflap?

Absolutely BRILLIANT, I love this song, has such energy, and clever guitar sound, really like the vocals, both the way you sing and the lyrics, a stunning song.

Thank you for making my Saturday evening.

...now where does my wife keep the saftey pins....
