Hey guys I recently started a new band. This is our first single. Hope you enjoy l!

 
Damn dawg. That's awesome. What's your role in the band?

Thank you so much! I sing and play guitar in the band and write the songs. We're a three piece
 
I like the vocals alot, and the melody.

I do not like the drums to be honest. Mainly during the verse, that drag beat he does doesn't fit IMO. When you're not singing it's fine. You guys sound like you know what you're doing, I might just not care for that sound.

Check out my video if you want, I made a thread in this forum earlier.

I dig it man.

At some parts it was a tad hard to hear the vocals over the instruments, but you guys sound legit

I appreciate that feedback a lot! I'll definitely keep this all in consideration. We're going to be recording a couple more songs in the next week as well so it's something to keep in mind

I really appreciate that! Your username is fucking hilarious by the way. We're recording again soon like I said. it's really cool to hear generally positive feedback about the first song we recorded. I'm really proud of what we were able to do.

More backstory. My wife is playing bass in the song as well. She picked it up only about 5 months ago. She's Been such a trooper

:( I've been at it for two years. Still learning.
 
lead guitar could be a little louder, I found myself struggling to listen for it in parts. sounds good overall.

That was my thought as well. That kick drum hit right before the snare is distracting to the ear...it takes away from the song instead of enhancing the song. Sounds like there is a lot of compression on the mix as well, a little too much for my ear...too much "sucking" coming from the compression (in compression terms not "the song sucks"). The song has a nice vibe, seems like you nailed the vibe actually.

Thank you so much! We both appreciate it a lot. We're on Facebook too Facebook.com/manhighmusic

Dude rock bass is a lot of rhythm and pentatonic scale. That's it. I would love to hear your playing sometime!

Definitely will keep this in mind at the studio next week. I really appreciate it.

The song is also on Spotify. Our facebook page has it there. If you're international the song is on other streaming services like Deezer.

I appreciate that feedback! The compression is likely the mastering. We got some really cheap mastering done. It cleaned it up a lot but was probably more of a hip hop master than I thought

This is the first time I've ever played leads. I'll make sure and take noteb
