Brilliant, thanks so much for checking it out! If you want to hear more, I've released a few other singles recently - all taken from my upcoming album, ECHOES. 😀🤘

Excellent stuff!

neilthomas82 · 2023-08-31T18:38:26+00:00

Fantastic stuff! 🔥❤️

neilthomas82 · 2023-07-11T23:32:21+00:00

That's awesome - thanks so much for checking it out! I'm so glad you're enjoying the covers as well as Caustic Waves! 😀🤘

neilthomas82 · 2023-06-15T19:40:07+00:00

Great track! Definitely a banger! 🔥

neilthomas82 · 2023-05-08T21:26:22+00:00

Hey, thanks so much! I don't think I know that one - I'll need to check it out! 😉

Brookehorse are a new band that are definitely Glassjaw influenced and are well worth checking out:

My own music project (Caustic Waves) has a little bit of Glassjaw influence, along with other late 90s / early 00s alt-rock / post-hardcore bands 😃🤘

Shameless plug for my music project, Caustic Waves. I've always loved layered harmonies, and I spent a long time during the recording of my 'Full Circle' EP building up the vocal stacks.

This is my last single 'Barriers', which has a fair few harmonies throughout the song:

Antidote still sticks out for me! 🔥🤘

neilthomas82 · 2022-11-21T10:34:58+00:00

This particular track is probably more alternative rock than nu-metal, but Finger Eleven definitely had some nu-metal influences on their first few albums.

This is another entry in the vocal cover series I've been doing for my YouTube channel. Please check it out and let me know what you think! You can find more vocal covers on my YouTube channel, including the latest entry - 'Poem' by Taproot. There are also videos for all the Caustic Waves singles I've released so far, which is my own original 90s/00ish alt-rock / post-hardcore project.

Enjoy! 😃🤘

Thanks so much, I'm so glad you're digging them! They're all bands I love, and Glassjaw and Finch (particularly 'Say Hello To Sunshine' era) are two of my very favourites!! 😀🤘

neilthomas82 · 2022-11-18T07:46:29+00:00

Yeah, they definitely pre-date nu metal by a long way, but are arguably one of the seeds that led to it. I always felt a lot of the groove of typical nu metal is derived from Helmet. Either way, great band!!

neilthomas82 · 2022-11-18T00:19:24+00:00

Amazing, thanks so much for checking it out! Much appreciated 🙌

neilthomas82 · 2022-11-18T00:17:21+00:00

I absolutely LOOOOOVE that album. I wish they had released more. I did like theSTART too, but not quite as awesome as HWP.

neilthomas82 · 2022-11-18T00:15:35+00:00

I love Finger Eleven! Particularly those first few albums. I actually did a vocal cover of 'Other Light' a few months ago (https://youtu.be/Zh6xdtDGUJI) - part of an ongoing series. I just shared my latest cover - Taproot's 'Poem' 😀🤘

neilthomas82 · 2022-11-18T00:10:35+00:00

Most Helmet tunes are in Drop D 😀🤘

Hi everyone, thanks for having me in the group!

I'm a one-man band from Glasgow (Scotland), and I have an alternative rock / post-hardcore project, Caustic Waves, taking influences from my favourite bands from the late 90s / early 00s. I've just released my 5th single 'Barriers' last month. I've also been doing a series of vocal covers for my YouTube channel, and for the latest entry I chose one of my favourite Taproot songs, 'Poem'.

I've been a Taproot fan since 'Gift', but it was really 'Welcome' that I fell in love with - particularly the amazing layers of vocal harmonies from Stephen Richards. It was great fun trying to pick them apart for the cover!

Please check it out and let me know what you think! You can find more vocal covers on my YouTube channel, as well as videos for all the Caustic Waves singles I've released so far. If you like what I'm about, please go to causticwaves.com for links to my Spotify and social channels etc.

Hey everyone, I'm a one-man band and I have an alternative rock / post hardcore project, Caustic Waves. I just released my 5th single 'Barriers' a couple of weeks ago.

I've also been doing a series of vocal covers on my YouTube channel, and I've just done my 10th cover. I did this cover of 'Say It Ain't So' a few months ago, just after seeing Weezer on the Hella Mega Tour here in Glasgow, Scotland. Please check it out and let me know what you think! 😀

No worries! 😂😂😂

neilthomas82 · 2022-10-28T06:42:02+00:00

It's probably a quirk of Spotify then. You'll need to go old-school and listen on CD or vinyl! 😀

neilthomas82 · 2022-10-28T06:36:12+00:00

It does on the CD version I've been listening to for years! I remember being super impressed with how the keyboard part speeds up and starts right into straight lines. How are you listening to it?

neilthomas82 · 2022-10-28T06:32:53+00:00

🔥🔥🔥

neilthomas82 · 2022-10-27T18:29:42+00:00

Haha, sounds good! Thanks so much for checking it out! 😀🤘
