We're proud of them and hope that a broader audience may serve them well. Please support independent music by giving them a listen.

Thanks!

1. I like it!
I got Fairytale playing. I like the harmonies, the off-beat stuff, and the chord progressions kick.

It's Alright is doing a similar thing.

Good for you guys!

2. Very Nice! A big sound for just 3 Musicians... hard to do.
Harmonies are very nice.. really fill in.

Kind of reminds me of the old Grand Funk Railroad..."I'm you Captain" with some Hootie and the Blowfish mixed in.

3. Sounds great!
I did, however hear a couple things I'd change based on what I'm hearing here.

It sounds like the compressor on the snare would benefit from a slower attack time, it's a bit thin and adding more 120-160hZ might
give it more oomph. Overall the mix is nice and clean but sounds a bit hollow, as though too much of the low mids have been sucked out.
Were the drums "Beat-Detected" at all?
But these are minor quibbles. I know all too well how much work goes into something this good. Are these the mastered versions?

Carry on ~

6. Please forgive the jerk who wrote post #3
Hanging out in recording forums one forgets that not everyone is interested
in mixing suggestions. Keep making the good music.

9. Just a bystander, obviously
and certainly can't speak for the person who created this music, but personally, if I posted any of my stuff here, and asked people to listen, I'd be very gratified that someone listened closely enough to post positive and constructive criticism/ideas about what I'd recorded. Again, just speaking for myself.
