Thats acually really good. Reminds me of the Pietasters Their last album Turbo has a lot less ska and more stuff that sounds like your music on it.

Rockin tune. Well played. Good oldtime rock sound. Good guitar sounds. I liked the lead guitar work.

A couple of things out of balance that I noticed... The tom toms were really loud in relation to the rest of the song. The same thing goes for the brass section. I think you have plenty of headroom to work with, so I'd recommend bringing up the other parts. And then maybe bring down the toms and brass a bit.

The vocals were performed well. I didn't care for the reverb on them. It was quite different from any verb on the rest of the song and so it gave the whole tune a rather unnatural sound.

Pretty good overall job. Trip...

Rockin Tune!

Nice job on this. Well played...very old fashioned country/rock thing going on here.

I like your vocals and the background vocals. I would have to agree with Trip, though, that the verb sounds a little out of place, but not too distracting.

Are you using real drums or is this a machine? I had trouble telling...one of the maddening things about streaming in lo-fi

I like the tune!
