Not what I was expecting from "speedtrash", though perhaps that's partly because I misread that as "speedthrash" 😅

This is pretty damn tight for a track build with limited time!

Congrats on making it through 13 weeks

Damnnn, that bass line at 1:18 is killer! Your guitar player was great too, pretty awesome for speedtrash.

I was going to take offense to your comment about "Fade outs are the ultimate cop-out", but after reviewing the songs I've done this year the only one I did a fade out on was because I copped out and didn't know how to end the track LOL. So uh... yeah. Carry on :^)

Thank you!

Ah yeah this one is not very thrashy. I should do some good old 80s thrash speedtrash next time. Thank you for listening. Technically it's my 213th week in a row.

Ah thanks! To be perfectly frank, I programmed the bass line at 1:18 because i cannot play that tight on a bass. I did play all the guitar parts so I'll take that compliment though.

Some of my favorite tracks use a fade out instead of actually closing the track "properly". Hotel California (the album version), Nightrain, Fireball, etc. Wonderful fantastic tracks BUT no one will say it's because they did a fade out to the end instead of doing a proper satisfying outro!

I FADE OUT ALL THE TIME lol it kinda is a cop out and when I play live i'm like, UH we have to figure out a real ending huh?

this is awesome!

I NEED MORE NOISE PUNK KEDBREAK your solo is so legit!  bass was awesome even if you did program it, very musical programming!

"I was gonna be mad but you're talking about Drew, not me, so please, Carry on"

LOL THANKS

Awesome jam! Improvised tracks are impressive, esp when they sound like THIS! ♥️ love the guitar solo, love the upbeat drums. Also sick bass!

Also the fadeout just makes me wanna believe there's probably 20 more minutes of sweet jamming, so not a bad choice in this context!

yes absolutely! In a live situation, how do you handle a track that fades out? Does the whole band play more and more softly, with the drummer switching to sticks with woofers, and ending tapping the drums with matchsticks?

Thank you for the nice comment about the solo! I am always so unsecure about my guitar playing and general mixing of live instruments.

Hahah yes that's right. When playing in a band we'd have those super long jam sessions of the same riff over and over and over and over. When you play it, it's fun, but it's a bit of a torture for the audience (i guess the house mixer fades us out).

I don't fade out, I just play the root note one more time for an abrupt ending... lol

Solide guitares. Super fun vibe. Content que tu ai pris le temps de nous sortir ça.

You leave my speechless. This ROCKS wild with a good funky Motown flavor. Gigantic Solo!!!

This rocks! Great work.

This rocks! Great work. :D

Awesome energy on this and some really cool guitar and bass.  I kind of like fadeouts from the standpoint that it feels like the song is still going on somehow even after it ends, possibly being played forever at some party for interdimensional beings who can hear volume levels that we cannot.  Definitive endings are cool, too, but they're so final.

This would be a great song to rock out too live! Love the guitar work!

Right, fadeout by default is a lazy way out, but! There are tracks, where it's exactly the right thing to go for. It's the sort of track that feels like it's been playing since forever and will keep playing until the heat death of the universe. Like "The Cry of Mankind" by My Dying Bride, or "In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated" by Dead Can Dance, or "Hey Jude" by the Beatles.

You can't do anything else or you lose the feel of the track, which is hilariously demonstrated on "Haunted" by Type O Negative where the song is set up for a slow fadeout, but the fadeout isn't actually applied so the song ends up abruptly and the following track on the record is just the frontman saying "well that's about it, that's all we have."

As for your track, it's jazzy and funky, I was also expecting a different vibe when you said "speedtrash".

Love the live feeling this has immediately and throughout.  Like I was walking by a bar and stumbled upon this live act just gettin started and had to catch the rest of the show.  Such good bouncy celebratory vibes

WTF man!? You told me last week it was a WB power move! LOL Anyways, this was awesome like a live music frat party.

Nice!  Cool to hear some guitar jams going on.  Almost sounds like a Flava Flav sample?  And the chord progression reminds me of either Boys and Girls by Blur with a Baggy Trousers by Madness tag at the end.  haha.

Ahaha exactement! Just un accord direct, ca marche aussi. Au moins c'est une prise de decision!

Thank you very much! I got lucky and felt the vibe of this track when recording it. The fewer takes, the better the vibe (and the more mistakes, but that's part of it).

Thank you!

I like the idea there of the track never ending, and giving that sense of just travelling by, dropping on the song, and it just continues forever and ever.

Thank you very much! That'd be a fun one to play, and might be more interesting with a good singer.

Hahah yes it was speedtrash, not speedthrash. A h makes so much difference! What you described above is such a Peter Steele move! He's missed!

Yes I think that captures the vibe. Not too deep, but enjoying the ride of the track, getting into this small bar and a band is playing. You get a beer, check it out, and then go somewhere else, while they are still playing the same track!

Hahah never trust me!

Oh yeah I see what you mean about Boys and Girls by Blur. I was not familiar wtih Flava Flav - will check them out. It feels good taking the guitar and just enjoying a track without overthinking it.

Flava Flav was the G man for Public Enemy.  He said 'yeah boyee!'  a lot.  Hehe.

YEAH! shimmy and shake. This got me pumped up. Fun stuff. Fade out was the way to go for sure. Fades just keep us in the moment, wanting more, like it go forever.

Maybe someday you can rectify this sin of an ending, but so far the whole thing is really good.
