Cool song and sound reminds me of the Go Go's.
Josie Ah, the Go Gos...before Belinda was blinded By The Hype. A fun & fab band. Thank you ma'am.
Cheers

Nicely done, enjoyed the vocals and the backing had a nice live feel which propelled the song throughout.
A very impressive composition, well played and produced.
Peter Thanks Peter, the song took its original transmission and ignition settings from this, (well, an arrangement similar to it). https://my.mail.ru/mail/nadya.sharipova/video/707/706.html

Hi Ray,
I heard your nice song and the first moment I thought you played a bit with the pitchknob.
but it turned out to be Misha's wife Katya! Very good indeed. Her vocals could get more upfront and less reverb, but that is a matter of taste.
I noticed this song sounded more bright than previous ones. Like that.
And keep Katya in!!
Nice day,
Hans

Really like this one, Ray. Interesting progression, great guitar sounds (and bass of course) and the vocals by Katya and co. are perfect for the song. Kind of a sixties girl group vibe with a slightly punk edge.
Regards,
Leon

Leon Thanks Leon, It seems, in my head, like The Damned took the intro from New Rose and ran with that, ( using their own backing of course). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUxFQ5QBiYkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8UKf65NOzM

Hi rayc,
Beautiful construction and nice harmony. It's very catchy. I am always surprised by your research in the chord suite and it works well for you. The result is very pleasant.

You all did a fantastic job on this one. The guitars and bass were great. The vocal was outstanding and the mix was spot on.
I really liked this!

rayc,
The mix is rock solid—good 80’s, 90’s alternative vibe to it. Like the melody of the vocal; fits the tune well and some really gravitating notes. Tough to weigh in on the song lyrically, as they get a bit lost in the mix . . . for me, at least. But all around, really slick stuff!
Best regards,
Deej

aliasJaniJackFlash Thank you Jani, I don't do any research - I just zoom around by fret board, usually with power chords, and then translate those I can into nice open chords. I don't know many chords but I can scoot around.
Cheers

Deej Thanks Deej, Lyrics are up top...not many words and, basically, developing a theme simply. For me the vocals level is as far as I can cope with...not being a singer may bias my mixing.

Good old girl punk, reminded me of The Go Go's and The Runaways in a very catchy way. The chord progression sounds just like coming from the early 80's. Lyrically maybe not full of anger, but stinging message on both individual and global level. Very good clean sounding mix (the tweaked version). Katya is really made for the style.

Definitely one of the most pleasant surprises here in a while! What I really like about this track is how well everything works together. The arrangement, the melody, the singing and even the rather simple lyrics fit perfectly.

Ray, Very cool Girl Punk tune! Well constructed and played. More! I will let Katya respond to comments received: --- Hi everyone, it's Misha's wife Katya here. All the great feedback is so lovely! But really - I have an ear, but am a weak singer, it's all in Ray's song and his imaginative! mix and the back vocals! But it was fun, just glad didn't ruin it  Riot grlll - aaaaah, what a compliment! Thanks everybody!

ray,
LOVED this!
POP. Super well done. Reminiscent of The Bangles (or the Go Gos). Catchy as hell.
Excellent mix. Guitars sound great. Bass & Drums, too.
Vocals are perfect. Katya did an amazing job.
On my 5th listen.
Excellent.
