My band's video finished! Check it out!!!

I mixed this song as well as the whole album....dropping Dec 9th in Japan first then we will decide when in the states it will be released.

This song probably won't be the single for the US but works great for the Japanese market.

Enjoy!

Its a nice video. Not necessarily my style of music. It screams Pepsi commercial to me. Its a good mix though. Nice job.

Thank you!

Some honesty! Yes you are absolutely right! It is a pop song. We have hardcore heavy hip hop stuff too.

Actually we have another video coming out soon called Bloody that is very heavy and serious. Not so poppy sounding!

This song is what the label in Japan wanted to release as the first single. They like that pop stuff over there.

Anyways I don't care if people here aren't into the music. That is fine with me. It is a campy pop song but we didn't set out to write it like that. That is just how it came out.



We write as many songs as we can and they all turn out different.

Is this the ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT from back in the day. Early 90's? If so it was one of the first CD's I had ever purchased.

The video and the recording are both well done, from a visual and audio point of view. However, the lyrics seem kind of arbitrary, as does the video. I just don't see any idea that leads you from one point to another, and there's no strong hook. Starting on the chorus was a good idea.

I always enjoyed "Tennessee" when they played it on the radio at the beginning of the 90s

Yeah me too! I am not an original member but have been made a member of the group a few years ago.

It is a great learning experience for me. Speech the lead singer is EXTREMELY musical! He is so prolific! Writes song after song after song every week! Amazing ear he has!

Not my cup of tea but nice production tho. As stated before there's not much substance in the song but people do enjoy that. Main vocals seem a bit thin to me.

I agree with you on the lead vox being a bit thin but that is actually exactly how Speech (lead singer) likes them. Weird! : )
