    The first one is called 'I Can't Breathe' and is about all the crazy shit that goes around the internet passing as 'the truth'

    The second one is called 'England's A Mess' and hey, guess what? it's about all the crazy shit that goes on in England

    The first one sounds just like if you've recorded it on a coffee machine :rofl:
    and the 2nd sounds much much better but anyway cool songs...keep it up

    I love both songs. Really nice and with a strong message.
    The video in the first one is too congested/convoluted and detracted me from concentrating on the actual music.. it is for you to decide which of the two is more important..

    Second one I liked best. I love the sound of the voice (is that you singing?), much much better mix/sound all together. Very professional result indeed.

    Not sure about so much "police" in the video. They are not the cause but the consequence...

    Great job all together. Loved it.
    Thank you for sharing this.

    Here and there.
    True!! :thumbsup:
    The clips somehow don't fit to the music.

    This one is fitting well to its content!
    May be crude to some people though.

    I would to say good job on both but I really can't honestly tell you about the actual music because I only have my laptop speakers at the moment. Both song's really have a strong message and they both seem really prevalent to what is going on in the world today not just England. I'm not saying England does not have problems but I am saying we are all struggling to survive and they're problems all over the world! I will listen later and comment on the actual music but otherwise good job!!!

    Thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated

    I've tended to write a lot of political themed songs of late, the stuff that's going on around the world just gets me mad, i've got to conciously tell myself to stop or run the risk of everyone thinking i'm a moaner '0)

    Nah you don't feel those vids, you don't get the feeling. Get on top of the roof by night, watch the big city and decide which song fits that weird feeling of the world spinning right in front of you, the internet, the truths, the wrongs, al those people and their ideas.
    Those songs first fit way better..they feel way deeper than that noise.
    the vid you posted just fells like shit on my boots. annoying..real..but I'd rather get it off soon.

    Hi really vintage and originally sound.
    Have you recorded the guitars?

    MAYBE you would can use more reverb and delays

    Hi Acau, thanks for listening, the guitars are acoustic guitars recorded dry through an sm58 mic, then i put them through guitar rig to try and give them the electric guitar feel

    If you can get your hands on a condensor mic for recording guitar, then do it. In the first song your trick of putting them through guitar rig works quite nice, but in the second one the strumming just doesn't sound convincing. You could try recording the strumming parts twice and then panning them far left and right. If your timing in guitar playing is any bit more decent than mine it should work well and give your voice all the space it needs in the middle. Maybe something you can experiment with and see how it works.
