very cool man. Yip the singer is great. I like the overall sound as well.

the recording is a little bassy but I'm guessing you guys did it yourselves so its ok so far.

Great stuff.

Was Insomnia inspired by Enter Sandman by an chance? Sounds a bit like it..
But that was really cool, I liked it ?

All the good music seems to come from Pretoria.

The 2nd song really did show off the singer a bit. The song reminded me a lot of The Verve. I'm a sucker for those rock ballady song type vibes so i enjoyed the 2nd song quite a bit.

The correct answer, sir, should have been "All the good sokkie treffers come from Pretoria" ?

Not really my music BUt a off topic comment on the recording, when and if you decide to do a bigger recording (I assume these were demos/ first recordings) you have to keep that old school lo fi drum thing and the bass sound, usually sounds crap but I thought it sounded kinda cool with you guys, it would put alot of character into the record and its production. so dont whene and if you rerecrod this or anything let the guy say of I just wanna get a crisp sound, really try to capatalise on that cool very strange but effective sound you pulled of. = less mics on drums and line out and mic up bass amp, so you can blend the bassy lined out one and the poppy micd one.

Thanks for the advice! You are quite correct...
