I liked them a lot. Some quick thoughts: Drums are good - Mike mentioned the excess crashes on each beat - that is the same mistake I seem to make with all my DB tracks. There is most likely some Keith Moon gene lurking somewhere in the DNA. If you are going to get a meatware version of DB for the tracks in the future, what you have is more than adequate. I like the garage band feel - the distortion on the fade in 730 Wednesday sounds great. The vocals are very dry - usually we amateurs slap on too much re-verb (like the splashes), so I guess you're one step up on me with this one. By the way, iTunes was playing in the background as I was typing this e-mail and the song that came on after yours was by the Strokes. It wasn't until the vocals cut in that I realised it wasn't you.... This may say as much about my ears as you music, but - it does show that you're in the ball park (IMHO) What recording equipment/software did you use??

Hi everyone,
I've read the list for quite a while now, though I have never actually posted.
My band has been putting together some demos lately, using doggiebox for drums since for the next month and a half I'm not living anywhere with space for a real drum set up. Now that the list is showing some signs of life again I thought that if I posted some mp3s I might get some good feedback. The songs are posted here:

If anyone has any tips or opinions about the doggieboxing, the recording, or anything else about the songs, I'd love to hear it!
I think that I used the nskit_1dbkit for all the tracks. I've seen references to what seem to be newer conversions of the nskit to dbkits, is there anyplace where those are available for download?
Thanks!
Phil
