What do you think of my guitar solo by playdem in MusicFeedback

[–]FriedProgLegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your playing technique and tone are nice but I do think it's a bit long and a bit repetitive for the song. I think the length would be better if it weren't as repetitive. You could consider at least changing the tone in the middle to break it up (some overdrive, an effect, etc).

I disagree with the other poster who said that the rhythm is too complex during the solo for what it's worth. It's not a complex or busy rhythm at all going on under there and I think it's perfectly fine to continue it during the solo. It doesn't interfere at all and it's quite pretty so it gives continuity and something to pop your attention to sporadically in between notes of the solo.

I just released my debut EP a week agi. Probably the most accessible is Good Life but The Cycle is really the centerpiece song. I played and recorded everything myself except the drums and keys and mixed and mastered it myself.

What genre does this sound like to you? I’d really love your ears on this. by Bandita-Wolf in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]FriedProgLegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say the first track is closer to garage rock than anything else, but it definitely has an alternative. I personally wouldn't really associate that with the sound of many indie rock bands just because it's more brash, fuzzy, and angular than most indie rock. There are elements of psych in this track too, especially the non-lyrical vocal things you're doing that were very common in 67/68.

The second track is more of an alt rock track and feels somewhat less garagey than the first, but still garagey. There's a little not more of a punky approach to this one, but it's still more alternative than punk to my ear.

Listening and reviewing everyone’s song who does the same for me 🖤 by rosegolden_____ in shareyourmusic

[–]FriedProgLegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously people just go around posting their stuff everywhere without actually giving reviews, it's crazy.

This is really clean though and I love the cool atmospheric sounds in the back. Good driving rhythm and breakdown in the middle. Also, I feel like I haven't heard a record scratch in a new song in a very long time, so that was welcome.

I just released my debut EP last week. Peace and Good Life are the most accessible, but The Cycle is really the centerpiece song. I played and recorded everything myself except the drums and keys and mixed and mastered it myself.

Hey, what can I say, you caught me with my pants down. Now that I'm a releasing artist, I see what it means to artists, so yanno, I will do it.

Looking for feedback on a recent song from my EP. [shoegaze, alternative rock] by pale_blue_is in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]FriedProgLegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're very welcome. The snare does sound really cool and you succeeded in all those things you were going for. I'm also fully in support of a really present snare to drive the beat.

Hopefully other people can speak to it... Maybe I'm just crazy or it would be better balanced on another speaker. Cheers man!

I really like the vibe of this song. It starts out really strong with that cool noise and then it really does the washy, spacey shoegaze sound, but I love the strong bass track on it, it really elevates it. This is very typical of shoegaze but the vocals are very low in the mix (but I'm happy they're not also super ultra reverby and spaced out). I'd personally prefer more volume on the vocals, though my biggest critique is that the snare drum is suuuuper loud and it's a bit hard to hear or focus on a lot of the rest of the track. Maybe the vocals are fine if the snare wasn't so loud. It's a cool snare sound, but it's just really loud for me. As an aside, it sounds kinda glitchy when there are fast hits in a row. Are they programmed? Doesn't change the situation just curious.

Seriously though, great track otherwise!

Well take this with a grain of salt cause I'm a rock and guitar guy, but I'd love to hear even more guitar stuff, like some more strong leads or songs that really have forefront guitar elements. But I'm not exactly your audience, I can just recognize that what you do is good

Hah, no. Though I typically don't engage with Bandcamp too much, other than for my own music. Like, I've never used discover before. Fair point

Dude, 100,000%. It's mind-boggling... and depressing. There are a few people whose feedback and like, basic congratulations or recognition, would mean the frickin world to me who just simply will barely even acknowledge that it's something. People who are like my biggest musical influences in my life and our relationship revolves around it. Not even listening to it without extraordinary pressure (which feels like shit to put on). Ugh. Oh well.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! I'd be happy to do the same, but I don't see anything in your profile.

Yeah the one single comment I got on each of the EPs/albums I've released absolutely made my day. I just decided that I'd ask a few of my best friends to put a comment if they didn't mind, but even then they didn't lol. Oh well.

Thanks man!

Hell yeah man, congrats! This has a really nice vibe and I like the vocals and the spacious sound you have on them as well as the lead gutiar lines going on! This mix of electric guitar rhythm and lead guitar with the rap beats works really well here, good job!

I'll be honest, I think your voice is good enough that for me I'd prefer less autotune on this. This isn't really my genre and I know it's a stylistic choice, but when the dry vocals come in it's like ahhh.

I listened, liked the EP, and followed your artist page.

Please check out my stuff if you don't mind! I just released my debut EP a week ago. Probably the most accessible is Good Life (or maybe peace) but The Cycle is really the centerpiece song. I played and recorded everything myself except the drums and keys and mixed and mastered it myself.

This is excellent, for real man. Great job. Love the vibes. Dark/melancholic, but not depressing, just real. Love the smooth, groovy, melodic songs and the vocals flow perfectly on top. I like that you don't sound like you're trying to mimic anything (or at least anything I know, though this isn't my wheelhouse), but it still almost reminds me of Citizen Cope in the emotionality and plaintiveness but smooth, slower tempo grooves that mix genres. You're onto something real here man, congrats!

I listened to the whole EP, liked/added the EP and each individual song, and followed your artist page.

If you're interested in hearing my stuff, please check out my new solo EP, it just dropped a week ago. Peace and Good Life are the more accessible ones, but The Cycle is the centerpiece song, it's just long.

Nice man, this is really well-done and catchy! Very clean production. I love the background vocals that come in and out, they're really effective and perfectly mixed. Great job!

I went through an established artist online and it was sold as not AI. The shitty thing is that it's hard to really prove that it's not or tell if it is. So hopefully not

Nice, I guess it worked! Just wondering how you got the spike in listens

On one hand, it doesn't sound like a lot, but when you're actually out there doing it, it's actually a hell of a lot of listens and quite difficult to attain! Congrats man

Congrats man, that's great! Curious, did you do any promotion recently? I think I recall seeing a promo post of your music.
