New Original Tune (Sorry No More) Punk/Rock/RamonesCore

[Flyguitarfish]

Thanks for those links - helpful to understand where you were coming from, and I think you nailed it. As others noted, this does have the pop sensibility of the 90's pop-punk movement but at a more laid back tempo than I associate with that genre. Of course, I wasn't paying too much attention at that point as I had largely stepped away from music and was starting down the rabbit hole of young family life.

Keep having fun!

You made the right choice moving into family life! Yeah, super tough to keep up with music these days. My old drummer likes this slower/oldies style of punk too, for obvious reasons!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! What have you been listening to lately? I’m always up for checking out new or “new to me” bands!

My taste in punk largely goes back to the 70's so not sure I can offer you new gems in that genre. I was into early Yes and Rush before the UK punk thing hit me in the gut (a couple years after its heyday). My favorite album in recent years is Steven Wilson's Hand.Cannot.Erase (epic prog). On the perhaps more accessible side of prog I love the Pineapple Thief's Versions of the Truth. Keith Jarret's Koln Concert for when I want to chill and be amazed at the human capacity for spontaneous creation, and if I want loud guitar I go for something like Karnivool's Sound Awake album or Tool - things I would label progressive hard rock, maybe? Karnivool's new album (In Verses) is slowly growing on me as well. Clutch's Psychic Warfare is good fun for when I just want to turn it up. When I need a 40-minute brain reset I reach for the Ghost Funk Orchestra's Ode to Escapism. I also find Third Coast Percussion's recent rendering of Steve Reich's Aguas da Amazonia quite captivating and hypnotic. Maybe not the answer you were hoping for, but there it is.

Awesome, lots of new stuff for me to check out! Thanks!

mix 6 was better than the first but was straining to really hear the vox.

I appreciate the comment. Vocal levels is one of the hardest things for me to nail down! Maybe I hold back a little because I don’t want to hear my own voice blasting through the speakers. Also, I think many styles of music bury them a bit more than others. Plus, vocals always sound louder or quieter depending on what I’m listening through (headphones, car/truck, little Bluetooth speaker, etc).

What are you listening on? I’m curious to know if it matches my experience with how I perceive vocals. Thank you!

Mix 6 is "stick a fork in it" complete. Nice work. Good and clear and balanced.

Fun song - this sounds great! I wouldn't change a thing.

I really dig this. The way your backing vocals repeat and hit that same note is classic. Bending notes is a key move in my view. That's where the emotion comes in. A note is a journey. If it bends up or down it symbolises something. Not too complex of course or you go mainstream.

It's a feel good song with a streak of reality to it.
