Very nice, I'd like to hear more Instrumental music on Newgrounds but I get that it's expensive to record.

Anyway great song, I really like the vibe of it, like nyx said it instantly reminded me of arctic monkeys and other brit rock bands. You nailed the brit rock! The thing I don't really get behind is how monotonous this recording sounds, you have got a lot of change and it's well written from what I can make out but the mixing is monotonous, the drums sound the same neary all the way through as well as the guitars, there seems to not be alot happening sonically. I'd love to hear you guys perform life just to see how you play this song.

So my main gripe with the mixing is that the guitars seem to compressed and not dynamic at all, I mean sure they're heavily distorted but, I would have loved to see a little more dynamic range as well as frequency changes in there. The same applies to the drums, they also fill exactly the same spectrum in the frequency field all the time which kind of disturbes me after a while. And I think the hihat is a bit loud.

And also by the way try to write a little more detailed review next time you post in the R4R thread. It's purpose is to give critical feedback not just to write a "good job" on somebodys track to get back a "good job dude" on yours ;)

So yeah overall really nice song, but the mixing could be a little more diverse.

Thank you for the awesome review and prime example of how things should be done. I often find it hard to review electronic music and art as I have no tallent in them and don't want to be talking about something I don't know much about. But you are totally right I need to pop on more detail and give better reviews. The 5 track ep cost us about £1000 and about 2 weeks recording + 2 weeks mixing then we sent it off to Pete mayher who masters U2's tracks and is considered the best in the country for an additional fee. Guitar has 12 tracks on this one We really did try to not skimp out on quality though it was a last min choice to record this at the time. Can't thank you enough for this :) il forward it to the lads and we will take everything into consideration when we are recording our first album towards the end of the year. We only play live in England at the mo but are hopping for tours in the us/ca/and the rest of the eu. Thanks again man best honest review we have had on this :) I'm hopping to recruit more groups like us into NG

I can definitely hear vibes from The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys on this, kinda my coup of tea (I hate those bands but i like indie in general hahahaha), My only problems with this are the lack of a decent ending (Fading away has never been my thing for rock, maybe for chillout or that kind of styles but i think rock needs a powerful ending) and that the vocals are little bit muffled, you should have toned them up or tone the guitar downa bit, as it stands, the vocals are a bit weak. Aside from that, good job!

JacquesandtheGiants responds:

Wow I am heavily influenced by the strokes and the arctic monkeys have taken on a lot of the townie culture that I grew up with. Funny enough the fade out ending was a studio error witch we wish to correct at some point for a video. I may well upload an acoustic version to display how it was originally wrote. Over the moon with this response :) ty

I don't like rock in general, so I'm gonna rate by how good this is for rock.

Chord pattern is catchy, and syncs flawlessly with the vocals, just as the pitches match.

The guitar is a bit too loud over the vocals at several parts, and the vocals are a bit too loud for the guitar at some parts, but otherwise it's just fine.

Drums sync flawlessly.

Lyrics are nice.

This is overall a great rock song, the style is a bit old, but who cares?
