grundge?
This sounds like The Clash made a grundge band and I am not a fan of the irritating sound in the background.

VERY X!!!
Cramps meets X and i love it!!!! Hook & Mood are awesome! I really dig the feel of the song. It makes me think the live show is a blast!!
- littlebones from Dallas, Texas on 7Apr2008
pretty good
talented because it takes time and talent to complete a song. But it's not really my style. But its a catchy song i'll tell you that.

Old School of Rock
This is a rockin' track with oodles o' charm!
The lo-tech sound adds to its humour of which there is plenty here!
I could go as far to say that the vocal style reminds me of King Elvis Aaron Presley. I've got a slightly suspicious mind that not ALL of the instruments are recorded live though...
This is a fun catchy song with a funky hook, reminds me a bit of the Eagles of Death Metal. Old school.

hook?
the hook is there, but it's the same old blues line as 1000000 other songs. the mood is alright i guess, you guys sound like old jon spencer blues explosion but not as good, raw, or wild

Rock'N'Alternative
Billy Idol. The hook is good, and the mood matches it.

Liked the simple Rock'n'Roll feel to this song. Was easy to listen to and was fun to listen to.

Liked the outtro, raw and rock'n'roll.

Weird...
I don't know where to begin... That song is like a mixture of 50 other songs but without any cohesion between them all!!!

It's like "Number 9" song mix with "Thunder kiss '65" and many other song...

It's not because you repeat something a thousand time that you're hook... I feel sorry but you'll have to return to jam session room...

You need to feel that something is emerging from a song but here you don't know where to stand really...

Very sorry...!!!

nice garage band sound
Reminds me of The Cramps. Wwould like to see if this band has a similar look. Nice vocal attitude. The guitar tone could stand to be a little less metal and more surf-rock-ish to match the song. Production is very lo-fi but that fits this type of music.

Surf's Around! Grrr.
A - Structure (Win/Lose) - Win - This structure has won so many times.
B - Musicality (1-10) - 5 - Not bad, but IMO the guitars are a bit generic, and the vocal harmonies are somewhat bland. I like the driving drums, and the bass seemed to be tight to the drums.
C - Likability (3-10 amount of times I would bare to listen) - 3 - I really wasn't feeling this Alt track. But will give it merit in that it does carry the Alternative genre well.
D - Emotion (0-10 0=underdone 10=overdone 5=just right) - 5 - I was going to give you an unfair 10, but realized that HEY this is ALTERNATIVE Rock. This vocal performance is definitely that. so a 5 it is. Just not my cup of tea.
E - Mix (1-10) - 3 - The mix is rough. I gave you a 3 because there wasn't much clarity and/or coherency in the mix. Sure I could hear most of the instruments but it was hard to make out the lyrics, and focus on any instrumental part outside of the drums.
F - Master (1-10 or not needed/ready) - IMO not ready. needs a more comprehensive mix first.
G - Production (Ideas if I have any) - This is a style that's outside of my element so I'll plead the 5th on this one.

(What you wanted)
1 - Hook - I think the what sounds like "washing machine" Hook is a bit hokey, but that may just be me.
2 - Mood - you have a surfs up kinda mood happening by my ears.
3 - Who Do We Sound Like - You know I've been puzzleing over that sinse I started the review, and I gotta say F*^* if I know really, but isn't that a good thing?

Hope I've been helpful. That is my goal.

- withnoreflectionmetal from Joliet, Illinois on 5Mar2008
ummm....
sounded like a bad video game sountrack with a man yelling. i would hope o think this is a one man band and the drums were a machine, very hard to get into a song like this, couldnt hear any lyrics and guitar sounded like a midi track. i must admit though very original i dont know who you sound like

RETRO ROCK A BILLY PUNK FEEL
THE PRODUCTION FOR THE TYPE OF SONG SEEMS TO BE ON IT. THE PROFORMANE FOR THE TYPE OF SONG SEEMS TO FOLLOW SUITE AS WELL.

I wanna be Sedated!
LONG LIVE PUNK! Great Ramones sound baby. Loved the scream behind vocals. Liked the 1950's style vocal sound, THat guitar rocks man well mixed song here. MAn this is like nothing you hear no more. Great stuff. Made me want to go out and buy one of those lava lamps.

What is this?
Okay, this sounds like classic rock from the fifties, but this recording is terrible, the vocals sound really distant, everything sounds quite distant , really. The backing vocals seem out of tune and what's with the burp? or was that mooing...
- loredo_cronk from Unspecified on 28Feb2008
This was just god awful
I'm going to start off by saying this: it was absolutely dreadful. For starters, the lyrics and vocals are extremely annoying. I can't get his grating voice out of my head. The song had no hook; they just repeated the same riff over and over and over again. The mood reminded me of a bad '80s movie soundtrack. I would love to give you some positives, but there really are none. I'm giving this piece of junk a 1 out of 5.

Surf musicians: do the twist!
The headline actually says it all. This is a strange combo of some of the never surf influences and "dancemusic" from the early 60's. At least that's how i interpretate this music. All in a pretty noisy lo-fi production. Interesting thing but that's pretty much it.

psychobilly rock
i like this
i havn`t heard anything like this since king kurt.
keep it wrong dudes
- mintball from Manchester, North Of England,, United Kingdom on 17Feb2008
Is this an attempt at a cover?
The mood is okay. It has a fun sound to it. I feel that the vocals are a little over processed and you are ripping off the B-52's a little bit.


I think you could use some more hook.

What is with the "Rock Lobster"?

Are you trying to cover?
