Hi all, here's the latest track which we have just finished after taking a little break to work with @pompeyjazz and @Binladeda , back to our usual rock/indie style, hope you like it.


here are the lyrics

Make you see: AtticVibes

Verse 1:
We had it good and you knew
But you could never be true
And I wanted to love you….But oh No
I gave you all the things that I could
I told you more than I should
You should have known where you stood,

Verse 2:
So you think you have it all
Looking down, you’re standing tall
but its a long way when ya fall
But Oh no
Always greener over there
Its the hurt you have to bear
And the people stop and stare
And you know…..(to solo)

Chorus:
I gotta make you see
What ya doing to me
I gotta make you see
What ya doing to me
We had it all and you blew it all away..


Bridge:
See this is it goes.. now you’re gone gone gone
Now its me thats in control…you gunna pay, pay my toll
You’re gunna see
That you want me…..

Brilliant Indie vibe you guys. I like your heavier stuff. Loving those loopy bass runs. Can't think of anything that I would change

Wow, that is a very well balanced mix, the dynamic of the song is sublime as a result. Could be overly raucous, but it's smoothed out so well, like a well harnessed ball of energy.

I did think the guitar solo was a bit more retro than the rest of the song which has a stronger modern indie feel. But a minor nit really.

Really good chorus and guitar interplay undeprinning that. Enjoyed!  8)

Thanks @pompeyjazz we can always rely on you to get in first!, thanks @MichaelA we were pleased with the mix too, and regarding the solo, at my age its always going to sound retro to you youngsters :)

Cheers, Mike and Andy

Impressive all around. Sounds bigger and better than most stuff on the radio.

Yo Andy and Mikey.

There's a lazy ZZ Top thang going' on behind the scenes here. The rev Billy knows the secrets and you've been in his class!

A fine rocker,job done.  8)

YESSS!  Top notch indie rock.  Made me think of The Cult at their peak... it would hold its own on one of their classic albums, and that's saying a lot.  I like the way you bend some of the long notes in the vocal delivery.  Guitar solo sounded a good fit to these ears.  Great middle 8 too.  An absolute hip-shaking winner.
It's all too beautiful.

Hi i love your stuff - for me it doesn’t quire the. Bits of your other stuff but that’s only because your standards are so high .
I think possibly because it sounds similar to others / the production is first class .
Still a 7/8 out of ten x

@Cawproductions terrific song. I heard Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, then noticed Skub had too. High praise in my book. Full of energy, it really sounds like you MEAN it, it’s just so genuine. The production sounds great too. Very enjoyable listen guys, thanks.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments, @Bill Saunders you cant stop Mikey when he gets going, he love a bit of ZZ.

@shadowfax thanks dude for the heads up, will take another listen, should be easy to fix.
Strange thing is, my mate mentioned this to me about another track we did, but I don't hear it but I bet Melodyne will so off to give it the critical listen.
Thanks again to everyone.

We listen to all comments good and bad, its the best way to learn and grow as musicians/producers, mixers, mastering engineers etc, as most of us are wearing many hats in here.

Thanks guys and girls

A very enjoyable rocker...excellently done...production is great and vocals are super.

It's a real pleasure to have you fellas around...you can always be relied upon to provide real classy stuff to listen to...much appreciated too.

If I had to nit-pick, I'd backspace what I typed because I don't :-)

Great job, guys!
