    Don't all respond at once! :) j/k

    I added a flash player so the songs could be streamed (instead of downloaded). Let me know what you all think! :)

    I thought they were good. Couple questions:

    -Did you record everything in your room? Or did you record guitar and use software for the drum/bass?

    -I think you need to add vocals.

    -I see the PJ influence in your melody. Tis good.

    -If you add vocals, you may need more of a basic structure for these tunes. Meaning,... verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus ... ect. That shouldn't be too hard to do, however.

    Good luck.
    Here's a new demo called "in the fire":

    Yes, everything was recorded in my room. I played everything (guitars/bass/key board/electronic drums) and it was all recorded directly into my computer. The only program I used was Cubase to mix the tracks.

    Yeah, vocals would help. I can't sing, but these songs were definitely written with the intention to have singing. Sometimes, I feel like Johnny Marr looking for a Morrissey to complete my songs....

    Pearl Jam is definitely an inspiration in the things I have been doing. I think parts of the second track (to me at least) seem influenced by PJ.

    Yep, I agree! But I think that the arrangements for this group of songs is actually better than the arrangements for my last group of songs. With these songs I can identify parts that would work as a verse or a chorus or even a bridge. I think if I had a singer with lyrics to add to these songs, it could make them more complete.
