This Grumpy Old Man liked this one.
Super groove with a kick @ss backing band.
Super lead and bass tracks.
Top nitpick I wish the vocals were a tad louder. It was hard to learn them.
Super song
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Hi Ray ...
Your Indie mashups always sound great in my ears. No exception here. As far as the vocal placement - it's your song; you can arrange it any way you choose. I did like the L-R vocal panning just before the ending.
It's my opinion that your mixing skills improve with every new post. Drums and bass rock in this one! Keep posting and I'll keep listening.
Alan Thanks Alan, spellcheck wants to exchange mash-up for mess up & it may well be right. It was a simple project to reset my compass.
Cheers

Not knowing what G.O.M. stood for, I was hoping the lyrics would tell me. (Yes, I found it in the comments). I'll join the the sad cry for "louder vocals", because... well, I'd hate to disappoint.  Nice playing (and singing) all around.  Thanks David, I used to be P.O.M., (pompous old male), but was relabelled to provide comfort and succour to an isolated G.O.M. I accepted the revised sobriquet happily. Yes, I expected you'd offer the upping of vocals - we are both consistent at least.
Cheers

Ray,
Full, rockin’ sound . . . not easy to do using just BIAB, so I think Greg’s rhythm guitar additions really put this sound over the top. Yeah, the vocals definitely need to come up. Cool punk feel to this . . . sounds like a mix of The Clash and early R.E.M. to me . . . killer stuff, really. Energetic and alive, full of sound and fury. Excellent!
All my best to you,
Deej Thanks Deej, I agree about BIAB RealTracks and this sort of music... the "punk" & "new Wave" offerings are uniformly uninformed. you're very kind.
Cheers

Thank you Sir, written in & built from BAIB but only the drums remain. Using the chord chart in Reaper is an absolute super wonderful thing for someone who can't remember how to play their own songs...ie: me.

Another GREAT opening! They seem to be ALL over the Showcase lately.
The Band is COOKIN'!!!! Raw Energy.
LOVE the lead section.
"The morning sun poked me in the eye"
"The midnight sun broke my fevered sleep"
Good lines.
Up the vocals a tad.

Ah, Mr. Thomas, that'd be a reference to the cousins across the ditch in New Zealand.  Thanks for the explanation, Ray. Got it!

“When did shall become will?
How did sufficient become your fill?
What came before that isn't still?
Why does work seem to kill?”
That is a get your attention from the get-go intro to a stripped down creative lyric.
You put together an excellent studio session — ace guitars and bass of course. And, man, that is some of the best RD snare hits we’ve heard. And whatever processing you use on the bass really allows it to cut the right amount. Not easy to do at all.
We’re not the most knowledgeable re the genre but for us the vocals are where they oughta be, i.e., surrounded by all the crunchiness.
An excellent sounding production on our monitors.
As Janice told Bud when she first listened, "I was tapping away with the drums and the rhythm is stuck in my head."
Well done!

Peter Thanks Peter. Greg is a drummer but he plays lead in two gigging bands...not hard to guess his genre.

Thanks Floyd, Hopefully my opening is a cave mouth. Greg's the sort of player who will up the energy on anything he plays. Sadly, or otherwise, this is the mastered version and I don't have the $$$s to remix & remaster.

Thanks J&B, This was a case of the words coming after the music and the 1st line of the chorus arrived as I rode into the sun on the way back from the dentist. I built the chorus around that and then dipped into G.O.M.ness for the verses. "crunchiness" indeed.
Cheers
