Much appreciating all listens and comments!!

Scott is great to work with...we tend to just throw ideas at each other and see what sticks! It's always a surprise to see where he will take a song as his vocals and melodies are always so much different to what I have in my head!

When he sent me this I just smiled in awe of his vocal style! Great delivery! My job was simple ....to slap a bass line to the back of vocals and it's nice to hear the kind comments about it :) ...and then Scott added a sprinkle off fuzzy guitar and vowalla (?)

It's great to hear the positive reviews and the helpful critique! I will be about most of the weekend so will get listening and reviewing ;) got some catching up to do!

Thanks again all

Darren

Hi Darren
Another f-bomber fighting track - hehe just came off the other good fight song.
This is great - has an angry feel just like the clash track demands.
Vocals are good - could use a bit of compression to bring them forward a bit.
The synths are sinister - nice!
Wow so many amazing tracks in this comp.  :D :D
Good work!
Paul

Haha! Love it mate! I'd want you on my team in "Call of duty!"  ;D
The music is fab! I LOVE the little touches, like how you sing "unleash!"  & that chorus is a great hook, which is really hard to do as it's just a one liner really.

Only thing I noticed is that in some parts of the vocal it's quite hard to hear what you're saying.

Great track though. Congrats! 😁

The arrangement is cool - the guitars & bass are so dark and threatening. Really different from the rest of the entries.
Production wise, I agree the vocals need a bit of work to sit well in the mix.
The decision to cut the drums and keep the track pretty short is good - somehow it makes it more angry - you throw your message in our faces then storm off stage, as it were. thats cool

Really like the idea and loved the fuzz bass.

Found the vocal way too low in the mix so hard to hear the words, which seems a shame in this sort of tune.
I would push em up much higher.

Another awesome entry for the comp!
