When I saw the new Punk RealTracks, I couldn't resist taking them for a spin. It is very cool that PGMuisc is including genres like this. I would love to see more "small groups of instrument" (like these) that capture a sound so well. (Some indie/alt rock and indie/alt singer/songwriter groups?) These are so good it took very little time to put together. Thought I should shake it up a bit, after that last "old man" song... Style is _PUNKRK1.STY (Punk w Held and Muted Guitars) RealTracks in style: 2588:Bass, Electric, PunkFuzzPicked8ths Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 2585:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PunkHeldPlus Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 2584:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PunkMuted Ev 165 RealTracks in song: 2586:Guitar, Electric, Soloist PunkMurray Ev 165 RealDrums in style: RockHardLA^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Loose HiHat This needs to be played LOUD - REALLY LOUD - 11+ NONE OF IT MATTERS the tv is broken i've got nothing to do can you think of anything novel or new clean living is dead or at least drunk in the alley who makes your bed? do you keep a tally? i saw your brother with the neighborhood [*****] saw your father at the dirty book store saw your mother cry a mother's tears saw your sister, she's put on some years none of it matters, all of it's real try not to think, try not to feel 1,2,3,4 here we come ready or not ain't crime fun money money money there's never enough hand it over honey we can get pretty rough i saw your brother now he's all alone i saw your father breathing hard on the phone saw your mother in your uncle's bed called for your sister they said she was dead none of it matters, all of it's real try not to think, try not to feel find yourself a job, find yourself a wife have yourself some kids, pretend that's a life god sits waiting in a church downtown if you happen to see him, send him around i saw your brother with a whole group of friends saw your father he's working again saw your mother with a smile in her eye i prayed for your sister, we all know why none of it matters, all of it's real try not to think, try not to feel Have at it (and have fun - but don't hurt yourself...) floyd

"PUNK FLOYD"--or is it "Johny Rotten Floyd"----I love it!!! Wow, I never thought I'd see the day. You should pitch this one to some of your old Nashville connections! This is a kick. Well done in every way.
god sits waiting in a church downtown if you happen to see him, send him around
Just one of many great lines!
Very dark, with a weird Tarantino/Coen brothers kind of dark humor appeal.
Great use of the "Punks in the box". Great production and mix as usual.
I Dug IT!!! Take care. Greg

Floyd I like your versatility and that you aren't afraid to step out of the box and use all the goodies that BIAbox has to offer. Great job! I can't wait to see what else you will come up with in the future. Enjoyed it! Sonny

You put sugar back into your diet didn't you? That sh*t will mess you up! True to punk form it clocks at 2:38 by my eye, that's good. Seriously it shows range, you can stretch and write something pretty credible outside yer comfort zone, and you have a big comfort zone, now it's just humongous! I've been entertained, thanks. Some very nice guitar playing going on here, managed to include just about every family member, extra points for that.

I think it's time to move to Florida, my son lives in Tampa, we could have a hell of band with that kind of tunes. We could call the band The Geezers. Great song, love it, I will have to check out the style and make one too. Another FJ winner!!!!!

Well done in every way. HA! They are going in varying new directions these days, but I don't think this is one of them.... god sits waiting in a church downtown if you happen to see him, send him around
Just one of many great lines!
Very dark, with a weird Tarantino/Coen brothers kind of dark humor appeal.
I appreciate this reference and that you "get" that. I have never listened to punk except as a curiosity - but the best of it is exactly that - an in-your-face message wrapped in a combination of anger and dark humor.. (and chaotic music!) Great use of the "Punks in the box". Great production and mix as usual.
I Dug IT!!! Take care. Greg
I'm glad you liked it. I'm sure there will many who do not - it is not a style of music I would listen to by choice - but I do think it is really super cool that it can be done using BIAB!

Hi Floyd,
I could listen to that only twice. And now I'm depressed! By the music and by the lyrics. In this song you totally changed your personality. Even the name: Punk Floyd. You are a master of disguise. I enjoyed the experience.

LOL, OMG, WTF, Cra-Cra! It's like getting hit by Floyd Patterson and then continuing to take punches from Floyd Mayweather.Somehow I don't think this will play well at Floyd's Barbershop in Mayberry. Mucho kudos for digging deep into the box in order to get outside of the box. Some great lines and a fabulous listen. Tom

Whoa, what WAS that?
That took me completely by surprise, Floyd! I never knew you could sing like that.
What a fabulous piece of fun music. All credit to you to break away from from what we've come to expect and then make it sound like you'd been doing it forever.
And what a mix. I turned it up on the old Tannoy Reds until I could see the cones moving and believe me that's LOUD. Thought I was going to cause structural damage at one point. Needless to say, it still hung together and sounded fantastic.
Whatever next?
ROG.

Someone contact PG Music! Floyd's account has been hacked!!!!!
Just let them know, that someone with A LOT of talent hacked his forum account is using PG products to put out some pretty awesome music!
Also, tell them that they somehow morphed Floyd's voice into a TOTALLY different style...AND...that is works surprisingly well!!! As in...perfect for the style.
Listen buddy, I don't know who you are, but rest assured when FJ gets ahold of you, there are going to be some great country songs to be written about the encounter. You've been warned!
Now, until that happens, I'm going to have another listen. Whoever you are, you did a great job!

On a different note, the melody is VERY catchy. By brain has been trying to read all of the comments in that melody with your voice! I've never had THAT happen before. Nice!

Floyd !:))
Isn´t it just great, to step out of the box and find yourself in that uncharted territory where everything is allowed and anything can happen ?
I love it when you step out of that box to make these experiments and I´m waiting for your dip into the Bacharachian world !
I loved this because I also love to step out of the box every now and then and I know how invigorating that can be not only for you and me, bbut for everyone !
Cheers Norman

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
