This sounds good Ian. I like that lively snare sound, the bass groove and you sing this well!

I love the sound of Nick Lowe (and breaking glass.... ;-) ). Great cover here, full of energy with a nice raw, sharp sound. Simple mix but very effective, love the razor sharp guitars and the drum sound is excellent, really gets the song off to a great start.

Well done, this took me back to my youth (and maybe yours as well...). Although I loved his music, I always remember him as the producer of the first Damned album, which is one of my all time favourites.

Thanks guys,

While I take credit for arranging the drums, I certainly did not play them. I used EZ Drummer for the drum track and I applied a Soundtoys Devil Loc effect over it. It makes the snare very aggressive.

I got the effect over the Summer when it was on special for something like $10. I quite liked the sound when I heard it.

This was really no more than a demo/guide recording but I have moved on to something else, so I decided to finish it where it was.

Cheers,

Ian
