Hi,
hope you can listen to another track we've done called 'Geezers'
This is one song which we recorded some months ago.

&feature=plcp

Please feel free to listen and critique the song.

 ;D i like this. everything needs turning up though so it smacks harder. that lead guitar especially, overdrive needed. and the drums, theres no kick that i can hear. they need to smash BIG. this would be great if you gave it some. the solo is really good. everything else needs to match that.

the riff sounds like the yardbirds which kind of dates your infuences..
afraid the song doesnt attract me like your previous one, which was intrigueing and a bit mad.
nothings really happening,  i cant make out the lyrics and the verse melody is very predictable..
until the gtr solo were it comes alive and goes back to the yardbirds ...
i dont mean any disrespect, im just trying to be honest..
i would say pump up the drums and bass for more of a foundation and work a bit harder on the songs.
if this is your sound then listen to the velvet underground but you'll still need better songs..
hope you picked up all that paper.
the featured faces looked german and the vocals a bit gutteral ..are you guys german ?
nico was german..dont know why that occurred to me.
i wish you all the best, if you want to do it, you will
i may not believe this tomorrow...

I agree with the comments about the mix - bring the drums right up

The main problem for me with the track (and this is more of a personal thing) is that it relies on the "rhyming couplet" approach

This makes any "dodgy" rhymes really stick out - fools and mules - and makes everything very predictable

Perhaps trying to vary things up with some vocal lines going across the changes to "shake up" the melody would help

I liked this track more than your other one but it is still not "doing it" for me

I agree with nooms. The song isn't strong enough and the backing doesn't pack enough wallop. I think this needs some work TBH.

Thank you for the feedback.

We have not done the final mix yet. This forum is good to get some comments about songs before final mix.
Nooms, we are not from Germany ... and I'm big fan of the Yardbirds so if you recognized some influences from the Yardbirds then we have partly succeed.
