Yup. Another song that puts most of the rest of us here to shame (or me at least.)

I like what you did with the fade in effect and gang choruses on the vocals. Cool stuff you don't hear so much in punk, but subtle enough that you're not likely to be fired from punk for it.

So many of your songs are about what a terrible person you are (this one, No Class, etc.) You seem so nice on the Internet!

Thanks vomit. I'm not a strong lyricist, so people tell me to write about what I know. No one wants to hear songs about fishing, so being a dick is my next best area of expertise. :D
 
gooder as per the norm with you.

if i really had to rip anything apart it would be that 'secrets' and 'regrets' don't rhyme.

and its probably just my ears and faggity earphones but your kick seems to be clicking in my right ear more thne my left?

Again... Faggity ear phones.


Good job.

Also if you would just jump on the whole 'im-a-washed-up-punk-rocker-so-i'm-going-to-start-playing-solo-country-music-casue-my-girl-likes-it-gooder' bandwagon you could successfully write many a song about fishing whilst using the three chord song sturcturing. Its getting more common. ref: chuck ragan, kepi ghoulie, Brian Fallon etc. etc.

And it's still possible to throw being a dick around in there too.


totally unrelated. but great mix gergory...
 
Nice work man.

The drumming is really fine. Guitars, vocals, bass... all very tight and the mix is really good. But in every recording I hear of yours the drum performance stands out head and shoulders above.

Thanks dude. Nah, I'm cool with sticking to what I know. As long as crappy, sterile, radio friendly autotuned garbage rules the airwaves and pompous douchebags roam the planet, the fire will stay lit. ;)

Mix sounds great Greg. The bass sounds better and better to me with each of your recordings. Don't know if you've changed anything there, but it has nice bite when you play higher notes and a good low rumble at times too. Really cuts through nicely. Drums on this are relentless. Guitars panned nicely. Vocals seem a tiny bit buried to me at times, but from what I can hear, they have the appropriate attitude and a good overall sound.

What do you use for a wah anyway? It has an insanely wide tonal range...can't be a cry baby?
 
those drums are sic man. love the song, kinda reminds me of some of metallica's 90's stuff

Thanks a lot dude. Certain parts of the vocals are intentionally buried. Like some of the "you can see it on my face" parts are supposed to be low. I put new strings on my bass a few months ago and started giving it more presence in the mix. That's about all I've changed with that. The Wah is part of a Digitech RP300a processor. I just bypassed all the effects stuff and used the wah by itself.

Thanks a lot. I'm not familiar with 90's Metallica. I quit listening to them after "Justice".
 
The only other songs I've hear of yours was the one about falling in love at fast food restaurants and boris the spider.

I liked your vocals on this one the most. They have a good amount of bite on them, but it doesn't sound unnatural at all, it sounds really good.

Good job dude, if you had a CD that sounds like this I would download a pirated copy and put it on when my buddies come over for a long night of talking shit and slamming beers!

Thanks. I've got quite a few songs like this. I've got an album that's a mere few weeks away from being printed, and the follow up which is about 50% complete. This one will be on the follow up.

I'm selling them for charity, so don't steal it, bitch. :D
 
LOL I was just jokin' :laughings:

EDIT: Let me know if you ever free up some time to werk on some side stuff :D
 
Well, I can't play drums good enough to do it myself and it sound good :drunk:

Like all the old stuff on my psywar punk myspace page I showed you when we did just another suicide.
 
The song is great and I like the mixing, too. Sounds very natural to me. I can't comment on the mixing professionally though as I'm just starting out with it. I definitely liked the subtle vocals' fade in effect. Sounds like the reverse setting on the old 9.5" Akai hall/reverb unit I had "back in the days". Those fade ins remind me of a Bad Religion tune but I can't seem to remember the title...

Just discovered the clinic yesterday so I'm browsing some threads now. Posted my first track, too. I'll surely check out your drum tracking thread before I'm going to record again. Your drums sound great!

Cheers
Tim

Awesome song Gerg!! I've gotta go skateboard to this. As always, there is nothing wrong with your mix. By the way, the "GO!" was bad ass. That sound was amazing. Great song man!
