aligc1 Joined: Sep 10, 2013 Posts: 14	Posted on Dec 12 2014 04:23 PM Hi - I've put a little band together and occasionally my love of the twang finds its way through my speakers. I've already posted my composition Chill Twang Boogie and got lots of really nice comments, please stoke the fires of my vanity and let me know what you think of Jim https://soundcloud.com/aliconnor/jim and if you really want to swell my already large head by getting me hits on my soundcloud page, take a listen to Chill Twang Boogie. I will also listen and comment on any tracks you ask me to. Ali - Lead Guitar, The Daytonas Top

I like the part at 2:22 when it sounds like the end, but then it rolls into another guitar solo. "Shaking" is similar cool! And, yes, the vocals on "Jim" also remind me to Danzig. No surf definitely, but great music for my ears! More!!! Go Go!!!!! — Twang cheers! Ralf Kilauea www.kilaueas.de https://kilaueas.bandcamp.com/album/touch-my-alien Top

If there ever is an album you get the signed coloured vinyl version. I will have to listen to yours - my girlfriend is asleep next to me as I type so that will happen in the morning, can't wait Top

Is your radio show available online? I would love it if you did play it. Just looked at your website, those photos... Looks a really beautiful to be near the sea Top
Teiscofan Joined: Feb 21, 2011 Posts: 513 Ontario	Posted on Dec 13 2014 08:07 PM Awesome tune. Love the guitar lead. Found the vocals to be Danzigesque with a dash of Jim Morrison here and there. Did I mention I liked the guitar! — I am not obsolete, I am RETRO.... Last edited: Dec 13, 2014 20:08:35 Top
MantisRex_ Joined: Oct 22, 2014 Posts: 38 Eastern Seaboard	Posted on Dec 14 2014 03:29 PM Surf? No. Surf inspired? For sure. It definitely has some surf-y textures. I've heard music like this called "Desert Rock" haha. Gives me a kind of natural born killers vibe. It's good nonetheless. Honestly, good on you for not writing within the confines of a genre. Take your inspirations and make your own way, I say. Also, good lead guitar work. — https://soundcloud.com/mantisrex Youtube Download my rock cover of Diamond Head Last edited: Dec 14, 2014 15:34:57 Top

P_Murphy Joined: Jan 17, 2015 Posts: 15	Posted on Jan 18 2015 06:23 PM well, found a reason to definitely join SoundCloud now. Added the app to my phone as well. I also commented on this song there, but for everyone here, this is what I said there: "I don't necessarily call this "surf rock" but a beautiful combination of classic rock, surf, rockabilly, even some country in there... and of course a huge sound of Jim Morrison in those vocals. It's EPIC. I'd like to call it: Greasemonkey, as its genre. Something Sam and Dean would easily listen to in their Impala on "Supernatural."" honestly, LOVE it. That's pretty much the style of sound I'm wanting myself. Something that combines the very best of all genres from Jazz, Blues, Country, and Rock... into something special. And I do think this is special. Amazing vocals. is it specifically "Surf" though? I'd leave that to the experts, but to me, there are definite elements in it at the least. any chance of getting the lyrics? Not going to lie, I need this in my ipod Last edited: Jan 18, 2015 18:26:28 Top
