    Me likes rock and roll. Especially rock and roll that is f-ing creative like this.

    Maybe the kick is too loud?

    Love the bass opening. Like a softer "Screw" by the Cure.

    Love the lyrics about the dead writers and tatoos.

    Maybe the beginning could sound more glued together atmospherically.

    Those are my crits, but I love this song.

    I liked the intro. Just long enough. And I liked how it brought another instrument in.

    After that, the reverb on your song shook my found-abandoned-in-the-back-of-an-apartment-building to-be-put-out-to-the-trash karaoke box speakers and I couldn't hear much else clearly. 

    But I know I liked those vocals. And that surprise ending--surprising because at the song's greatest intensity, it just cut off. Kind of a shocker to hear that sudden silence after so much going on.

    Hi there, I love your guitar! The song has a good beat and is catchy. The vocals need to come in the mix. Good job and I like your froggy theme. Blessings
    But I don't think frogs should smoke, smoking is very bad for frogs, I'm sure.

    And there was I expecting a cover of the T-Rex track of the same name and I get served up with this hearty slice of power pop.

    A really punchy tune and I love that harmonic guitar solo, wild!

    Great to hear you again.
