Well, I wouldn't call it punk, not because it's too soft but because it's not particularly apt to tag it that way. It's not "soft punk", it's just not punk at all. (FWIW it appears Ray agrees.)

People live too much under the menu-driven tyranny and delusions of BIAB genre labels. Just Say No to Genrification.

rayc,

Cool song!
This is exactly rayc sound.
As others said, nice big wall of sound.
Very punk.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

We love the lyric and the video is a treat! Stay curious, keep a child’s wonder and play hard!

Yeah man, that is what mastering oughta do for a tune of this style.
In your face but full of dynamics and without the waveform looking like a 2x4 board smile

Excellent!

Hi Ray,

I read the comments on your song and I can agree with all the compliments you got.
Your vocals are very good upfront in the mix and the band/ instruments sounded so bright.
Only that very mean end (about 5 seconds) with only the leadguitar...

No, nothing to complain about. You made a very good song. I only missed the lyrics.
I have one question though: have you tuned your vocals to a somewhat higher pitch? I'm curious, because if you did, you did it very good.

I think I can end with the same words as J&B did above;
excellent!

Hans

Super mix
Great vocal
Fantastic banding tracks
Two thumbs up


Mario,
I thought it might touch a nerve...BIAB certainly allows us to do more later.

Thanks Lambada,
There're so many versions of punk to chose from.
Like you I'm more inclined toward 76ish Britain's version that the skate/hardcore/Cali/reboots that came after.
New Rose on flexi disc was my 1st "punk" record. I still have it but there's no way I could muster the speed, energy or aggression of that era nor was I prepared to spend the time building a wall of guitars like Steve Jones did for the Pistols.
Polite Post Punk Perhaps?

Thanks Hans,
Guitar feedback as metaphor for ageing song makers!
Sorry, I did post the lyrics in the developing thread but had to start a new thread as the other locked editing.
Tuned yes, UP? No. Tuned when and where needed but tracked in the right key and with the vocal approximating the correct notes.

This sounds great Ray! That mix is really good! Guitars and bass are really smokin'. Definitely a high energy piece! I don't think I have the energy anymore to create something like this! Thanks, Torrey
