I bit on the VPN.

I have no idea what to think. Really odd choice for a single IMO. Not a whole lot of substance to it given the length. Kinda punky. Less spritz. A fun throwaway perhaps? Better than supersonic. Not sure about ND.

I do like how it sounds though, especially the bass.

I don’t think they have another song like this in their catalogue. No idea. Kinda reminds me of Ole mixed with drop kick Murphys upon first listen.

I was also thinking Olé, especially with the ending

this sounds promising
I liked it, there is some distorted bass, texture and interplay in the guitars, cool solo, the half-time bridge (we've heard already), and a doubling up on the snare for a few bars at the end a la GSMF, but it works better here

my complaint about the drums throughout this album will be the same as my complaint about Matt's live drum sound: the snare is too deep

One of the benefits of a private liberal arts education is being able to pursue multiple areas of study, audio production included. We joke, but it is a legitimate pursuit of his.

It wasn’t a demand sheesh.

More of a declaration, an idea!

That said, who has it? My three week old daughter says “please, for me? I’m trying to prepare for 4/19!”
