Dont usually post in these threads because you usually end up looking like an asshole but anyways I did try to be as fair as possible and did listen to each song all the way through

Annie Your Love - is pretty much the same throughout the whole song and its a song that sounds exactly like most other Irish bands about at the mo

When You Just Dont - me likey its quite funky except for the "on & on & on" which i personally dont like (but different strokes for different folks)

Rushing Slow - like this one as well though personally i'd like to see the loud part kick in a bit earlier

Shiver - see Annie Your Love for the first part. but then when it picks up good a proper its a kicking little tune

Kumaraband

REALy like it Lads,

good ****


Annie Your Love - kinda got a feel of L.A woman from this im not saying this is bad, to be honest i really like your stuff iv been listen to same music for a couple weeks basicly stuck because nothing decent was was coming along this is decent i like it man im gonna download that ****.

Opinions:
Annie your love - Nice tune. Vocals are nice, not forced. If i have a criticism i think the instruments could be differenciated by being panned a little better. It does go on a bit long but its decent tune.

When you just dont - Could do with a bit of variation in the harp playing. Nice bass playing and really good tune. Love the vocals, reminds me of gomez.

Rushing slow - Like the blue-grassy harmonies at the start. Good production on this. Bass again is great!

Shiver - I really like this. Especially the ending.

overall: You guys have a good sound there. I dont think its original but what is? Love the vocals and harmonies. I think you'd have plenty of keen listeners people that like the kings of leon and gomez would like this.

Not my coup of tea, but from a musical point of view is OK, not so original as Gracehopper said, but you could try to be a bit more original to have your own sound. But of course this is what happens with a new demo and a new band.

It’s very cool that someone has the attitude and willing to do their own thing, I applaud you that, but just one think I don’t like, the band name and even more the logo, it reminds me of the Wacky Races cartoons, it doesn’t go with your music.

This is a constructive critic not destructive, I whish you good luck
