Kevin Walsh Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 I posted a compilation of tunes on BandLab as an album, "Invaders from Outer Space". Every one of these songs have been put together with a lot of help from the forum members here and at the old Cakewalk site. It's taken six years to write enough songs that didn't make me cringe too badly to justify doing this. I have one more song for it, the title track, but I don't know how long it will take to finish that stupid song, so here's the compilation. https://www.bandlab.com/kevinwal/albums/b6bf15aa-240e-eb11-96f5-0004ffd2ff50 A great big thanks to you all for all the help over the years.
ABull Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Hey Kevin, "Shot in the Back" is terrific --- that groove is infectious and the opening guitar is perfect. Your vox are outstanding -- I like the rock grit in your voice -- the mix is great -- stellar work mate~~Allan.
TheMaartian Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Now playing in the background. Very good! Rerouted from my PC speakers to my main monitors!
Max Arwood Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Nice song Kevin. Yes I agree - your vocals have a nice pop-rock sound to them. Great song too. I think the lead vocal could use a tiny more lows. I hope someone else will chime in. Not sure where, and not very much. And just to say - It sounds nice the way it is. I know what you mean about years! Some people just pop songs out left and right. I'm worse than you. I'm embarrassed to say how long I have been working on several songs!
Paul Bush Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 ``shot in the back´´ is a like kick in the ***** for me I´ll have to up my game 1,000 fold to come anywhere near to that track , loved it, well done, I`m going back to listen to the rest cheers
PhonoBrainer Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Toes tappin. Your song has two parts and they are both brilliant. Kudos on the punchy yet controlled drums, any tips? That was really great. And your vocal was awesome as well, great voice, man! cheers, -Tom
PhonoBrainer Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Also I bet Tom Petty would have loved your song, or Smashmouth - it's a really good song when I can hear it being performed in my mind's ear by various artists.
bjornpdx Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 I listened to a few of the tracks and I'm thinking wow such great songwriting skills and the voice to go with it. You've got talent for sure.
Bajan Blue Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Hi Kevin Shot in the Back is a great track - on play as i write this. Love the drum sound - tight Great job Nigel

I have to get me some decent ones, I don't like the old KRK 5's I have now. Thanks! 1

As in check out, not write a check! Black Friday's coming! https://www.m-audio.com/bx5d3 (list: $149/each) https://www.m-audio.com/bx8d3 (list: $249/each)
Kevin Walsh Posted October 21, 2020 Author Posted October 21, 2020 Those look great, and I'm also checking out the JBL 306p's, which seem to get a lot of love.
