It all works - love the sound. Gets my attention at the first drum beat. Nails the genre.

I especially liked the Gospel Background Vocals. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks David, I love Brent's Bari guitar sound...
I played my ol' DanElectro Baritone Guitar, tuned down to an open "C", (on top of Brent's Track) plugged into my '59 Tweed Vibrolux...

I was nervous queuing this one up for fear of what it might be, but I’m glad I did.

“Don’t come around here if you’ve lost your sense of taste“ is hilarious.

Never Fear what you don't hear... as for what you do hear, here, your nervousness might be well founded...
Ha, that was my favorite line too...

Love it! Great take on the scam-demic, plan-demic, bio-weapon, yep.... we've lost our collective minds.

On the song. Yep.... gritty rocker in the finest tradition of gritty rock. Well written and put together.

Glad I tuned in for this.

BTW: I don't cover my face, cough into my elbow, social distance, nor have I been jabbed...... rock on!

bloc-head,

Wow, that was awesome! Love the flow of this tune! You are creating some of the best stuff being posted here! Love the chord shift of the chorus....extremely effective! Super use of the background vox! Great solo choices and your lead vocal is perfect! You remind me of the late Ronnie Van Zant...you sound a lot like him , which really gives this tune a Skynyrd edge to it! Thanks, Torrey

I didn't know Ronnie, but I did meet his little brother, Johnny, through a mutual friend & bandmate. My friend Robbie Gay was a founding member of "VanZant"... thanks for listening and commenting... You are a treasure here on this forum.

Good stuff. I liked every bit of it.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

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.
