It's my annual pilgrimage into music recording again.
This time with a song originally written by some friends in the late 1970's, but way too good to lose forever.

Recorded & mixed entirely on a Boss BR-600, except the solo, which was recorded by a friend Pete on a Boss Micro-BR & then imported.

Big guitars going on, cool vox too, kinda Kaiser Chiefs sound, lots of energy, great tune.

Stunning tune! I browsed the latest songposts by you and it has been long time from the latest...

I can't believe this has been written in the 70's!! Of course, the sounds and production is modern, but the music sounds very fresh to me. Yes, maybe a bit punk/new wave vibe. Great post! Thanks for sharing!

Cool......finally got it to play! I love the big sound.......sort of has a punk/surf vibe going on. The drums and guitars are really good in this. I'm also liking the angry vocals...they work well with the music production. Good update to a song wrote in the 1970's!

Sorry ..My fault, I didn't get the link right to start with. Out of practice I guess 

kinda Kaiser Chiefs sound, lots of energy

Thanks, energy is my thing (I don't have too much finesse) & to be compared to The Kaiser Chiefs is flattering indeed

Cheers. Indeed the original was late 70's (maybe early 80's at a push). Spot on with the Punk/New Wave angle too.

Thanks, glad I got the link right ... eventually ... I'm particularly happy with the drums. They're a Boss BR-600 drum kit, which I programmed in step time, 'cause it's the only way I know how. I then added room reverb & a bit of delay to make them sound a bit more real. Hopefully it worked

Blimey, this is excellent, a real song of it's time, but fantastic raw vibe and feel to it! Some great drum work as well finishes it off nicely...very cool!

Really great song brother! I absolutely love the energy and spaztic feel to the whole production, fabulous drums, great solo. This tune rocks hard and I love it! Turn your pilgrimage into a lifestyle, or a least make another tune soon.
Shark on!

Yep, my thoughts too. It's never been aired in public, so I thought it's time to give it some wings. Thanks

Cheers, what I lack in talent, I try to make up for in energy. I've really got to find more time to do this. I'm trying to ... honest

Thanks. I'm particularly pleased with the drums on this. They seem to drive the song along nicely. Vocals are a bit so-so, but I really need a better microphone, a pop shield or another head!!
