Indie Rock/alt country, my dudes

Sorry, i'm not good at putting things into genres. So I recorded this, and a few other songs of a new band in my town. What do you guys think?

edit: I put up the wrong mp3 accidentally! Here's the one I meant to put up, but you can listen to both songs if you want.

Dude I think that Spokane is getting sweet music scene. I was just there watching Built to Spill at the Big EZ. Great show. Speaking of Built to Spill your 2nd song kind've reminds me of Built to Spill and Modest mouse (the drinking lyrics) of course with the little country. The ending really reminds me of Built2Spil.

Now for me to say that it reminds me of Built to Spill is about the best compliment I can give somebody. I love them and I think this stuff is really good. Keep up the good work! You have any shows coming up?

The band is called Tokio Weigh Station, and I'm not in it, I just recorded a demo for them. They will probably be playing shows in about 2 months once they get a couple more songs written, they only have 4 right now. Great band though, with a ton of potential. Their drummer is also the drummer for my band.

Hi BRIEFCASEMANX,
Well recorded piece. Is the vocal mix deliberately low in keeping with indie ethos? I like it like that - personally I like to find the lyric rather than have it papered on my face - so well done from my taste perspective.
Nice subtle production allowing the dynamics to shine on their own. The bass really thunders downunder in the last section - nice one.
Cheers
