Sounds very good. Really liked the production of the vocal. Very clean and distinct.

hehe, cool tune, quite infectious....
i like the vocal mix so dry and effected for the clarity...
dig the zombie approach...
it hasn't been played out yet,
and so apropo
of course, i'd love to hear some edgy guitar,
ala NIN, which would separate this from what people hear as '80's dance/pop....
it's just a step to the left....
Cheers Bats. Guitar would be cool......

I think I figured out why we now have such a panoply of styles (shoegaze, psych, etc.etc) It's due to Starbucks with the upside down no fatty brown green no sugar tea latte with no whip type thing. The millenials think like that now.
Ha - I think you're right

Great work, Daryl! You have really got all sounds to blend together perfectly. Sounds fantastic in my speakers. And these lyrics engage even us living outside of US. 
Thanks Lasse. I'm glad you enjoyed it mate.

Another fine piece of work Daryl, great lyrics, nicely written song and great mix. I love how punchy the drums and bass are, gives the song a real kick-ass backbone.

Hello folks
Here's a new song i wrote with a bit of social comment about the upcoming elections
Enjoy - nits and crits welcome.
Damned if I do
Written and performed by Staypress
News flash courtesy alc31180 of freesound.org
V1
I'm stuck with a decision - exactly where to put my X
I've been sold with great precision and I know just what's coming next
Chorus
I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
But I can't help but feel that I'm wasting my vote
I'm caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
I know because I saw it on the BBC
V2
It's not a democratic vision to choose between fire and ice
I'm sick of politicians who promise me paradise
Chorus
Middle bit
...and the lesser of 2 evils is still evil
One is insane, the other not quite legal
One is fixated on building a wall
The other is determined to screw us all
V3
You can't trust your television - the news is what they want you to hear
So you have a brave decision to use your own mind my dear
Chorus
News flash
Very cool song !! Your music and vocals always sound great , sounded great I like it !

Hi,
Always something that reminds me about Joe Jackson or around,we used to call this : "New Wave"
Easy listening for sure.
The lyrics seem to be actually concerning United States Of America but even with an european ear the song goes its way with ease.
All the best,
Olivier

Late to the party... Classic Daryl here, the mix is polished as per usual and just sounds so... good! Your sense of arrangement for your style of writing is impeccable. And the lyrics? Loved 'em. The deadpan delivery just adds to the fun.
