Early stage demo of a bit of a rocker, riff based songs are not usually my thing, but I quite like this ;D

The riff reminded me of something...took a moment...A-Ha "Take on me"...vaguely...more punk than Heavy Rock, but we don't need these pigeonholes really. It's all music!

Punk? that's weird 'cos it sounds like one of those 'odd' songs that Steve Via throws in here & there.  It is certainly different and may not be everyone's cup of tea but I do actually quite like it.  It makes me want to dig out the pitch-factor.
enjoy your hol's

Hi guys,I thought the 'punk' ref was not what I expected ,thanks gtb :) I like the Steve vai  ref I wish I could write or play like him.I feel it's a bit led zep myself with a Beatles chorus.
Thanks for the comments! Cheers Jamie

Jamie, exciting, powerful and energetic, I'm rocking in my chair as I write ;D
Great guitar, drums and dual vocals work really well.
Thoughts: as recorded are the chorus actually slows the momentum of the song down, It sounds like a bridge to me. Anyway for me the chorus needs to have the more energy, and of course I'm looking forward to some big guitar solo on the finished product YEAH.
