the start of the song i think was the best part the reason i say this is that it had good time to it and also it was catchy something that someone could sing in there head which a majority of the public would listen to, but the major problem i found was that it seemed to lose time i would say that you need to fix up up the timing to make this song much better.

i wouldn't particulary listen 2 music lyk this but i loved this song it woz sweet not sumfing special but jus okeyy its not sumfing l'll b shocked abwt but sumfing gud 2 listen 2. the timing is a bit out needs 2 b worked onn excallent vocal.

heyz guyz, thought id just drop a lil comment about yr song
i thought the intro was top gear! the rythm the right type of sound everything was nysnc and flowed together! the verse were short and to the point and the harmonise were in tune and in time ! it was unfortunate that i you guys did'nt start off with the chorus first because its amazingly catchy !

I THOUGHT THAT THE TRACK WAS BRILL! IT CAN APPEAL TO ANY LISTENER AS IT HAS A MIXTURE OF INSTRUMENTS WITH SOLOS IN PARTS, AND THE LYRICS WERE SIMPLE AND "CATCHY". THE OVERALL STRUCTURE OF THE TRACK WAS GOOD AS THE USE OF DYNAMICS WERE EXCITING. THE GUITARS SOUND GOOD WITH THE SUDDEN DISTORTIONS AND SOLO RIFFS. I LIKE THIS BAND!!!

Very good song,but try to work on making your words clearer.

bravo guys, nice tune. I think the band has the ability and the rest of it but it sounds like maybe the bands style is still under debate. Stick with it guys.

like the tune, its certainly has the catchiness if all music in this genre was like this it would appeal to me more.

i like the song but i am unsure about the start of the song

The structure of the song was originally, pulled off although I thought the ending was a little strained. Im not sure of where the influences are coming from though I heard "Franz Ferdinand" and "American" appear. Overall performance was quite muffled alot of the words were'nt disguished which made it a little hard to listen to. I enjoyed the dynamics of the sing, with the pauses at the beginning to the fast paced ending. A good non-professional piecs overall.

You have many influences a few of which were the stumming as franz fedinand and reggae type of sturmming and very funky at the beginning the drummer changes the beat to 8's and 4's and adds extra bass drum beats. The solo needs alittle bit more structure as it sounds like a bridge... The chorus is very catchy and builds tension when it gets heavy. The vocals both singers are good and keep in harmony.

Aside from a few timing issues when changing between sections, I thought it was a good tune. I particularly liked the distortion on the guitar; you got just the right edge. I agree that the solo sounds a bit dry for want of a better word- it's not a bad solo, I just think it could use a little delay to fatten the spund a bit.
I really liked the vocals as well- the captured a lot of energy, dispite being a little out of tune in places, but then it hardly seems to matter too much, and certanly dosn't detract too much from the song.
Good luck man.

good ideeas, but i think you should sort the structure out a bit-- the way its pt together feels a bit weird at the minute.

Dub guitar at the beginning does not work, the best bit is the m8 guitar
then yeh, and the vocals can carry off the attitude that starts in the instumental, cool rock and roll, the faversham in leeds screamin uni students in their best worst gear love it from the m8 onwards. Get a good master done by the people who do your favourite records, like at Metropolis in london. All the best to you.

The song overall is a well constructed and interesting tune, there are no points were it sounds "thrown together" as a song. I like the way that each section is slightly different on repeat and the song has a feeling throughout that it's building up to something and is seriously catchy. My only major criticism is the use of what sounds suspiciously like a drum machine on the choruses and it drops a lot of bottom end out of the mix, however, in these sections, the snare has a bit more snap which might work well on the rest of the tune, speak to your drummer!
I also noticed the vocal tuning "problems" but in this song it doesn't sound like a problem, the vocals in Gang of Four, The Stranglers or ACR weren't perfect either but they work.
As a guitarist myself I'm not sure about the short solo but it would come off much better and add to the song more, with an effect, like a wah-wah, a bit of delay or something whackier like an electro-harmonix micro-synth perhaps.
My advice to High Horse is get off your high horse.

Nice to hear an attempt at a song structure with a little more intelligence than many of the current one or two riff wonders that have sales success. (not sure if you can say chart success as there are so many different interpretations of what that means now ie. Radio 1 playlist or NME Album Charts or itunes "allegedly" biggest number of downloads or most web hits ..... "what IS success?" discuss!)
I wonder if the idea with this track is to create a live vibe? In which case it works. However as a listener you are confused by the nature of what your listening to. (ie. what is the track to be used for?) I would personally like to see some work on the vocals/tuning/timing etc as previously mentioned but in contradiction with that, it's so refreshing to hear something not over produced. I'd like more information about "intent". For example would the band intend this style of production for inclusion on an album, in which case repeated listening might not reap rewards? BUT if it's a track for people to come away with having seen them at a life gig, the energy and rawness would hold significant value of an interesting band.
Dick the flick
PS Lose the Bontempi Drum Machine plastic lid snare sound ...... it kills the atmosphere

Pseudo? Here's a track that smells of honesty, so I don't get the pseudo bit. Where does dodgy timing/tuning end and feel begin? I think there are some performances that could be better in timing and tuning, but the musical ideas seem strong to me. The song feels good - I like to listen.

Not a fan of this pseudo-ska/funk/rock I'm afraid. Timing is sloppy between sections, band practice with a metronome through a PA will do wonders. Watch the vocal tuning as well, for example on the first syllable of "pride".

Saving Grace play Last Call For Pride. Listen and post.
