OT - WAKING JONAH (a bit o' spam...NEW SONG NOW PLAYING!!!)

Postby Pelata » Sat May 03, 2008 12:05 am

I promise this is the only post I'll make about this...although I may bump it once or twice...

I have a new Melodic Pop Rock project called WAKING JONAH. We're releasing a 3-song digital EP this month, and the lead-off track is streaming now on our MySpace page. It's called "Breaking Down" and, as it stands, is the ONLY unsigned/independent artist track on ARfm's A-List Rotation...

EDIT - We have now added a new song called "Stay With You [If You Let Me In]" July 7, 2008!

Feel free to add, critique, anything...

Thanks for your time...

Holy cow dude, I like.

Very solid tune. Can't wait to hear more.

The Line of Fire record is STILL getting a lot of spins over here, keep up the good work bro.

Shawn, are you singing on that song?

I like this a LOT! Love the lead guitar work. Very Schonesque.
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.

hey man ,, this is some really good stuff!! 20 years ago this cut would have gotten you a major label deal.. this flys.. and your vocals are perfect here..

there are 2 or so insane chord changes in this song...really makes it shine..

did you ever hear of a band called Teenage Fan Club?? i cant put my finger on it , but you have a cool sound that just reminds me of something ..

*edit.. we HATE EP's though.. :lol:

Your drummer riding on the crash cymbal seems to stand out too much for me during the chorus. He probably listened to too much Van Halen growing up. :wink:

Other than that, I like it. Your vocals are awesome!

Shawn,this is a very good song, i can here the modern aspects tied in with the old school melodic rock, your voice sounds great on this(to be honest i found the cymbals to be a little distracting,almost like they were too much in the mix) Otherwise i would want this song in my collection, can't wait to her the rest of it, even my pet squirrel liked it Image

Good melodies, good guitars, good hooks, but you can't shake the feeling that you've heard it all before and better somewhere else. :wink:
