...and to the point.
AKA: right in your face.
"...or you can get your ass up and fight your way out..." is right, dude.
Kicks, Jimmy. You guys are hot. I like the way you cut the instruments in and out. Gives the tune a 3D that a lot of HardRock/Metal artists are lacking.
Got ya on my faves list.

I'm listening at work on the trusty Powerbook and it sounds pretty decent. (I'll listen again when I get home so can hear through decent speakers)

Excellent guitar in this, no doubt! Hope you guys post more tunes.

Love the sound. Love the feel. I agree the production is not perfect but the style and feel are definitely there. Can't wait to hear more.

Yeah, this is 'right in your face' stuff! Would be cool to be at a live show with you guys.

The simple guitar riff is a killer. And grrrreat soloing Ronnielong:)

The energic drums is pushing like a locomotive on speed, with the tight bass guitar pumping some more coal into the engine.

It all has a breath of live written all over, and is strengtened of the excited vocals.

For some strange reason, this made me think of a punk version of 16 Tons, an old Tennessee Ernie Ford tune. (Also see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGmYhTYLbno .) Other stolen lines thrown in. I've long thought rock music needed to quote more from earlier tunes, like jazz does, and from popular culture, like Paul SImon often does. Quoting other sources adds history and interfolded context to your meaning. And is fun. I dug the frenetic guitar.

Spot on Tobin J-

This is, I guess, our Tribute to those who have indeed made their mark by realizing you need to "fight your way out" to make life worth it. Like the lyric says "a lot of people don't even know they are trapped"....."So get your ass up and fight your way out!"

"Some people say a man is made out of mud..."-Tennessee Ernie Ford
"Shout shout let it all out"-Tears for Fears
"What a field-day for the heat..."- Buffalo Springfield

We know our music history sir. But I think "stolen lines" may be a bit harsh hahaha... for that was not our intent here... it makes us sound criminal... hahahaha

I guess I should have pointed that out in the song description... my bad..

Thanks for the listen and the comment! Glad you liked it!

Right. I should have said "quoted" lines, not stolen. I understood your intent and enjoyed it, thats why I commented like I did. I truly think it should happen more. You guys used quotes to very good effect. Nice tribute.

Rockin track guys. I totally dug it. Kindred spirits. F*ck the production values. They don't mean sh*t if the spirit is there. And you got it in spades on this one.

oh:

"Mediocre artists borrow, great artists steal."
--Picasso
