I put together this a few weeks ago:
It is going to be the single that no one buys/cares about, from the tOCK debut album that I think is important but only close friends and family will buy.
Hey man had a watch of this. This is v cool! The production value is pretty good! I like the ultra slow mo shots of cymbals and strings etc... The playing is also v tight which makes the while thing sound much more pro than a lot of stuff out there. I can feel the energy and also a little healthy humour in this video.
Things I think can be improved: there's a stabby type sound in the mix, which either sounds like an over-zealous bass or a synth part or something... It's a little distracting, but if it's possible to keep just some of the percussive elements of that sound it could be of benefit.
The effects on the vocals add some character, but it's difficult to hear the words - this is something which comes down to taste, but I reckon less effects and more compression perhaps would work well. Your singer sounds decent esp towards the end in the higher register, so why not bring it out a little more?
This one is a little more tricky... But the riff sounds a little stock to me. VERY well executed and will make for great mosh pits at gigs etc... But feel like I've heard songs like this before.
Finally, I think you guys would be great live! but potential punters could get a little depressed by the couple of posts I've seen you put up eg "no one will care about the single", "we'll gig, but only if there's demand". Don't undersell yourselves. Besides gigging is usually the way to create demand
Hope this helps, I look fwd to hearing more!
