Hi Will Rockwell,

It's a nice and entertaining song - I liked the way you arranged it.

I will not comment on the lyrics as I don't want to start a verbal fight with 50% percent of the nice US members of this forum. The song is about something happening far away from my country and it is not really my business who you want to be your president.

Will,
Nice vintage punk feel in this. I like musical mood change in choruses.
As Will above, I do not want to comment on lyrics, it is all there smile

If I try to take neutral side, regardless of specific political connotation, I can say it has a very strong inner message.

Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Good write...
I like the vocals...
Nicely produced...
I must admit I don't understand your vague lyrics...
Perhaps that was your intention...
But I enjoyed the listen.

I would say your song deals with politicians/leaders around the world, past and present, who feed on xenophobia and racism to gain and hold power. This could be any time and any place. Nice rocker!

Hi Will Rockwell,

that's an awesome rock song with great lyrics. I like the arrangement a lot, the way you sing is anything but mainstream (which is GOOD) and I liked the guitar parts a lot.

Great job.

The song seems cool: a new wave vibe with a mainly spoken vocal leaning a little to one side which is a little odd.
The "...just wait & see..." bit seems a little strained and off key.
I assume the lyrics are meant to be satirical and in the mode of Cpt Cheetos.
I'm not sure that's sold well enough.


Cheers

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
