| I like it, sounds like an early 80's Midwest punk band recording in a lot of ways. Way too much compression on the bass though. I like the eq for the bass, especially since the bass is the only instrument doing anything that interesting, it should stand out. Ease off on the compression a bit, you can still make it pump and squish but this is excessive even for this genre. And yeah, though I like the bass a lot it can come down 3db or so. The guitars sound very weak and not trashy enough. All in all though sounds like a demo from the 80's played back on cassette which is very vibey and cool. If you can find them go listen to the Zero Boys, Toxic Reasons, or even early Sloppy Seconds for some of that sound, all produced by Paul Mahern. |
