Red Mosquito

In light of the RM community's sharing of creative endeavors I thought I'd add to the pile. I've started getting some mixes back for my first solo record and I think some of you folks might dig it. I'm not going to blurt a whole bunch of stuff up here but here's one tune I'm quite fond of.

Nice rocking tune, James--definitely hear some Townshend in that chord sequence. Are you playing all the instruments here?

Cheers, KD. I'm just doing lead vocals and all guitars. I asked some more capable friends to play the other instruments. I really like playing those sus4 guitar chords Townshend uses a lot so I'm glad that vibe came across

I heard you have some pretty cool guests potentially appearing on this?

Yes, but I'm trying too keep all the attention focussed upon myself. I've got a reputation to uphold. I'm the front man, they're just the backing band with mystique.

Nice rocking tune dude. Really nicely produced too.

Cheers LMS, much appreciated

WtoB, I should also add this clip to reference to my post above so it doesn't look sooooo dickish if you ain't familiar with this classic scene.

I'm familiar with the scene but I missed the reference. I knew you were 'avin' a laff though.

While I'm waiting for my record to go through the process I thought I'd make an album using just my iPad, a set of headphones and Garageband. Old school GBV bedroom style improvised danceable Lo-Fi space drone pop for 2013.

Here's another tune I've been working on with my normal singer-songwriter gig. Feedback and criticisms appreciated!

Super catchy chorus!

Cheers Bada. I was trying something different here and a few people have said the same thing about it being catchy. Poptastic!

I'm genuinely interested in what people think are the weaker points too. I don't want to sound like I'm screaming out for positive affirmation y'know. Just some of that thoughtful RM critiquing would be nice.

Links gone before I had a chance to listen. Does this mean a release is on the cards?

Why are these links being nuked?

Let's try that again. I had it on private link so it wouldn't pop up in my feed on the assumption that I could still link to it directly like in the past.

LetMeSleep - just waiting on the final mastering and hunting for a label at the moment but it's all done. Thank goodness!

Hit up Laughing Outlaw. They released Grun so you never know.

For sure, they were on my list And maybe Half A Cow but that seems to be a reissues thing nowdays.

I'm not sure why that track is saying unavailable up above, but here it is again for anyone interested.

It's been a couple of years in the making but the debut 7 inch single for my solo project J. Robert Youngtown is due out this week. It's a split single with some old mates. Here's a sample, I'm in the second half:
