Do my ears deceive me or is that a lil bit of a poppy tune lurking under here ?? DT tunes seem to be getting the hooks in quicker these days. Can't say much about the mix as only on lappy speakers, but it translates well and I kinda know by now that it will be pretty much as it should be. 3:45 onwards sounds kind of familiar.......I, I, I, I I'm not your stepping stone... I think I heard that somewhere from somg long ago...... ;) Or is that just me ??

Either way, I like it plenty.

I loves me some DT. I may have mentioned that before. Something about your music chimes with me, not sure what exactly. It's probably a combo of the mood, the attitude and the sheer inventiveness, coupled with riffs and melodies that are instantly 'hooky'.

I get the same feeling listening to Tom Waits, Muse, Sensational Alex Harvey band, P Gabriel, Streetwalkers etc.

This one ticks every box for me, just fantastic. The mix is a delight to my ears, as is the arrangement. One day you guys might disappoint, but I have me doubts.

This is some serious mope-pop. Downbeat, angry, spit in your face...love it.
There are some minor timing issues that distracted me slightly, which is weird cuz I never noticed that before with you guys.

What is that high thing on the left during the chorus?

Loved the break before the lead, which was some scary stuff.

I am going to have to collaborate with you maniacs at some point.

Very cool!  Kind of remind me of Thin Lizzy.  The production sounds fantastic.

Thanks for all the input and listens...I went back in and worked that lil "high-thing" in the chorus (James) I think that was a ride cymbal issue and tamed the chours a bit as you pointed out Frank..it was a bit hot to be sure.

Again thanks for your good ears and sharing your thoughts all the way round!

I think I was updating it Mark...she should be good to go now...

Thanks!

Come back to check as i said i would, and i am so glad i did.

Another fantastic pumping song which i enjoyed very much.

Superb outro.

You guys really do have the right chemistry going on here.

Mark.
