You use your backing vocals to great effect. Really like this quirky rock sound. 'Fill your boots with rock 'n roll', it's one of those lines you think... how come no-one's come up with that before!
Just like your one before i just really enjoyed listening to it, again and again.

"if anyone just says ..." another fun song" i will  probaly never post here again ok"

Yeah the vocal layering is really cool

Not sure about the verse lyrics but the chorus lifts the song enormously 

[Dutchbeat]

the chorus is superb (fill you boots with rock and roll)
summer hit potential

what did you do with the vocal? I think it is works for the chorus very well, but i think that effect should not be used all over (i know...look who is talking)

[S.T.C]

If i had to make a decision, do i like it or not, i would say yes...i like rock music,it`s catchy.....it`s not deep in any way, not meant to be i guess....so

[jim morrison]

Good one tinam, i love the way you've done the harmonies ,really lifts a song to a new level in my opinion

[Songsmith]

It sounds a bit like the other one except for half the speed to me. I preferred the first one,

Hi Tina

Great melody and guitar riffing. Very catchy. The lyrics are working really well up to the last chorus 'fill your boots with rock & roll' - or actually, it's not the lyric, it's the delivery. Your really understated singing style works brilliantly for most of the song, I particularly like the line "you wont need a hearing aid after 9 o'clock". But then at the end it comes across as a little lacklustre and too understated for the lyric. Maybe I'm just old skool when it comes to rock, but I'd be expecting these lines to be delivered in the style of rage against the machine (f*ck you I won't do what you tell me)

Ok, maybe that's too far the other way, but a bit more gutsy would do the trick for me.

Are you also the bass player in this track? - very nice melodic bass parts

[tina m]

thanks everyone for listening & comments!
most people here know but i better say it again im the guitarist...sarah plays bass....ally sings...our little band Death by Guitar
i am afraid tone that is the way ally sings & its now become part of our sound...but this track was thrown together very quickly as a final thought for FAWM & the main vocal could be stronger i agree
the song was subtitled End of FAWM Sales originaly & it was about the last few days when you rush around franticlaly trying to tie up all the remaining ideas & bits & pieces youve got left into songs....its not as silly as it sounds

[Mr.Chainsaw]

The chorus was a great hook to begin with, then you pimped it out with the great layering!

Thought maybe the repeated/echoed rock,rock,rock was a touch too loud against the main vocal? Dunno, I've got shitty ear phones in, plus like all men I just hear what I want to hear. The verse about "Mr.Chainsaw is awesome" was my favourite...

That makes a lot of sense to me Tina - don't feel undervalued as a writer - I think there is a lot of clever writing in your lyrics if you scratch under the surface , very clever writing
and listening to this again the vocal layering is just genius, GENIUS 

[nooms]

gtr sound reminds me suddenly of Uriah Heep ! sounds a bit fatter, chunkier or something
(my dad used to tell me about them)
great little track
very first time i heard a DBG track it was the vocal i noticed, seemed out of place but made me listen, its actually what sets you apart, gives the songs your identity & personality, suits the lyrics...
i can imagine some souless 'rock chick' screaming all over it and would just be another screaming rock chicken...or turkey

all the best

They can't all be a winner Tinam - love this too - but not quite as much as your first entry which I loved loved loved - if I remember correctly. It’s great song though. BTB

[Paul]

I really like this too tinam!

It's extremely catchy.  the message is straight to the point and I think that the guitar and vocals sound great.  It would be very worthwhile writing a second verse before going into final bridge and chorus, just to give it something a little extra.

Well Done!

Paul

[Schavuitje]

I left this alone because I thought I'd already posted on it, doh
Well this is another really f... f... f... fine song Tina 
I enjoyed it. The engery and constrasting vocals. The half decent woman guitar, yeah nice   
I can't remember the other one now. I've slept since hearing it so I'll have to go back and decide which one I like best
