You've got some darn fine music with some pretty strong lyrics on Myspace! I like your songs and your vocals are great. Your level of producing is OK. And that's just what is bugging you. Not that you've done really wrong in the production stage, but it's just not at pro-level. And that is the playing-field you want to (and can) be in with your own songs.

I have listened to your songs and I can hear what they mean by generic. I am however not convinced that the tracks you used are to blame (maybe some tracks, but most of them are pretty good). Unfortunately I wasn't able to pinpoint the things you need to improve in the production stage. Harvey Gerst (he visits these forums now and then) should be able to help you out here.

IMHO you have written some fine songs and made good demos of them. A lot of music on certain radio stations you hear nowadays can't even touch your level. It just needs a good producer to do your songs justice and you're ready to go chart-busting!
