SONG TITLE : "PUNKCITY"(demo) (a daft fast raw cockney punk song with real punk vocs not fake ones..indicateing where i was born...lmao) ARTIST : moi..ALF-L..(a lad from london (c) 2018/19/20) ****BEFORE PLAYING THE SONG PLEASE NOTE.**** 1. due to the variety of playback systems out there. watch your levels till comfortable with song. 2. feel free to critique the song. apologies if the listener hates the song. the song was mixed for earbuds. sounds better on buds.. use them if possible for best effect of the guitars in each ear. might have to boost volume depending on phones/earbuds used. **i KNOW the song has flaws**. the rhythm gtrs each side particularly i could never get the sound picture i heard in my head after many tries at it. ideally the song needs to be remixed by an ace mixdown// mastering engineer. i'm more a songwriter who has picked up tricks in my travels in recording studios. 3. as per all my songs , i used the biab/rb/reaper combo to create this one. (ive done about 90 original songs useing this combo over many years.) 4. people have asked me for more production details in past songs ive posted. let me explain why i'm unable to do that, much as i like to share info..... awhile back i had very serious surgery i wont bore people with, which i came through thankfully. (i'm fit as a fiddle now and hope to stay that way.) as a result (due to this darn world covid situation) my doctors want to protect me /the surgery success and have me isolate wiith just my wife. but all my darn song production details are backed up in other locations, which i cant get to right now. i only have final song stereo mixes here. so please understand. 5. i like to sing in many different vocal styles. this is what i call my "home vocal style". ive also included in the song fun little clues to figure out (dont use google and cheat lol.) HERE IS THE LINK TO THE SONG>>>>> https://soundcloud.com/user-302791555/punkcitycalf-l201920STORY : aim of the song is to show a small slice of life in a certain part of london england. a part of my family heritage. an area of london i was born and raised in for a time, while my parents were away doing good deeds in other countries. its an area of london i know very very well and spent my formative years in till i left the uk to live in other countries early in life. OBJECTIVE : i wanted a very raw fast punk song reflecting my birth heritage. it was a very very difficult song to do. ton of work. ive got a lot of self doubt whether i did the idea justice from a production standpoint. lots of challenges. but i enjoyed doing it. and i like cranking it in my earbuds. lol. i'm hoping headbangers like it. SALIENT DETAILS : 1. the "ding" at start is like the dings on the old red london buses (ie the bus conductor bell/ding ). 2. i'm doing the vocs. blame me. fwiw i also sing opera lol. 3. at 2m14 secs i wanted it to "pound away" headbanger style. i like it, hopefully others will too. 4. at 2m26secs a CHOIR starts up. this was a REALLY BIG CHALLENGE, as i had to sing all traks to sound like a combo of a school /church choir mixed in. ideally i would have liked to use a proper live choir. 5. the church bells were another challenge. i tried putting in more, but they drowned out the song. so i left it simple as at 2m55secs for example. does the reader know what "born within the sound of bow bells" means ? lol. 6. i should explain the repeated bashed metal type sound that carries on from the 3min mark to song end. this is once again linked to heritage/london history. ie. the football (or in usa soccer) team i support started off as ironworkers in the 1800's. so the metal sound is a big homage to those ironworkers. and the teams soccer uniform reflects this heritage. their football ground (moved in the last few years.) is in this area of london typified by the vocs. lets see if you can figure out my soccer team from the clues in the song, and where i'm from originally. lol. 7. in the wind down to end of song, do you know what a "corker" is ? or a "roller" ? or earlier in the song what a "toff" is ?. 9. per the outtro, i also wanted some humour in the lyrics. yes the song is what is called a "wind up" where i come from. what is a "wind up" ?...lol. in conclusion, its one of those songs i just had to get out of my system. warts and all...in some respects a very personal song i'm shareing and its an area of london very dear to my heart, as several members of my family (and friends) lived there for many years. truly wonderfull people who helped many people in their day. frankly , often tears came to my eyes doing the song, because i really really miss them all. but they all lived very good long lives. i'll leave it up for a week or two for people to comment. above all, everyone have a great year. whether you like it or hate it. best. oldmuso.

That's pretty good JAOM,
At the time punk seemed like it was a 33 at 45 but, in truth, it was just a little faster than usual.
My 1st acquisition of that era was New Rose.
WH United - not a fan sorry...of the game that is.
The fizz is gone but the top end seems just a little blunted on the rhythm guitars as a result.The added accent guitars bring some top end back which is good.
Was it a Rolls Canard-ley? Rolls down one hill can hardly get up the other!
Beanz meanz yes, move in.
The lyrics were pretty clear, a lyric wouldn't have hurt though.
The 1st "solo" made me laugh.
Nice one.

om, ray was saying that including a lyric sheet would allow those of us who do not speak your English could follow along more easily. A fun Punk rocker. Vocals were good (but I do have trouble understanding - my wife often suggests - mocking me - I should turn on the subtitles when we watch English/Irish/Australian shows on TV). Mix is good, but I think the drums need to be louder/punchier - it's Punk, after all... fj

(Kazoo break...lol)
3. V2.

(LEAD BREAK)
4. Refrain.
if you ever get up in my face, i'll get me bruvver 'es a real 'ard case.

Real Cockneys are born within the sound of bow bells ya know.

7. pounding rhythm time again. plus bell.
8. Outtro/fade.
i'm seein' this new "bird" right now. wot a "corker" she is. rich too, runs a nice little "roller".

.........................................................
some interesting aspects of cockney life.
1. on my grans street you knew when a family had "arrived". they got a used jag often.
2. lots of fighting between rival teams supporters at "footie games" often.
3. but loads of kindness in the cockney fraternity also. one of many examples was , when i was a kid...
if a family had lost their income thru' job loss, the hat would be handed around to help them get back on their feet. amazeing acts of kindness i saw when i was a kid growing up.

"Toy Boy"lol You are off the chain. I think I owe you a pig’s ear.
I did not look for the warts, just enjoyed the song first thing this morning.
This damn pandemic...keeps me locked up, away from London, Paris, Rome, and a hundred places I want to be. Seeing and playing this sort of thing live.
I want to play in the tubes at least once before I die even if the Blue Meanies put me in the can.lol
Cheers,
M8

No bud listening here but the mix sounded good on the KRK's.
Although not well schooled in the genre I would think the drums could cut a bit more.
Cool lyric and well delivered.
Reminded us a bit of some of the music we heard on Peaky Blinders.
Kudos,

Wow, those were some liner notes. TBH, I didn't read word one of them. I just listened, which is the way I like to do it. I listened twice. The song had a lot of energy, which of course is part of the genre. Guitar solo was good, lyrics fit just right. (I do read lyric sheets). Good job.

Hi om,
It's great to hear a cockney accent. (Well, that is what it sounded like to me from an Australian perspective. So please correct me if I'm wrong.)
I love the fast an furious sound of the backing. It's incredibly catchy and had my toes tapping in next to no time.
This is such a great listen! I enjoyed it (and I'm still smiling).
All the best,
Noel

Billy, Tangmo, Marty, Janice & Bud, Tunemonger, Misha, and Noel.
thanks for listening and comments.
as you have probably figured out, i like to do the occasional piece of song craziness...lmao.
even better it makes my day if people have lots of fun and a good laugh listening.
(the more fun and laughter in the world..the better.)
you are all wonderfull kind and talented people. and i highly appreciate your comments/feedback.
Noel..yes the song is cockney all the way.
fyi i'm a cockney lad. its my heritage.
then i went off to a "posh ooh la la " uni..lol. and after that worked/lived all over the world.
regarding the song... some more details...
1. i reinforced some of the manipulated RT gtr traks with my own subtle gtr overdubs..then spent time (lots) trying to improve sound picture useing reaps built in gtr amp plug ins, as well as various other little editing tricks etc.
2. the outtro often actually happens in real life. ie hookups occur between the wealthy and poor classes.
ie between the wealthy london west end and the east end.
best and thank you all once again.

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
