    Had a listen to teh first 3 tracks - your stuff is excellent, but.... I really can't get past how much it sounds like The Pixies. Being influenced by is fine, but it's way too similar - especially the vocals - right down to the same reverbs on the vocal track!

    They're almost like lost Pixies tracks - is that good though? :/

    I dunno man.... i would say that the music is absooutely nothing like the pixies...
    however i would agree that the vocals are very like the pixes...

    musically however i would have to disagree, none of the progressions or linear directions of most of the songs have anything in common with most pixies songs...

    i grew up a pixes fan but havnt realy frequented them since my late teens....

    big fan of pixies production and the whole sound so i would assume that like any band that influences anyone that that has seeped in for sure...

    Check out the whole album....it varies considerabbly...

    thanks for the comment!

    I'm not talking about specific chord progressions - I'm specifically referring to the vocals combined with the lead guitars. All aspects of the vocals; the rasp in the voice, the reverbs, the diction & phrasing of the lyrics. As well as the lead guitar in Hocus Pocus & Wolves at the Door.

    Again - I only listened to 3 tracks, and that was the impression I got from the overall sound. And you can't really say that "besides the vocals & lead guitars, it sounds nothing like The Pixies" - the vocals & lead guitars are quite a significant part of anyone's sound - especially yours, considering the riffs and drumming aren't dominant enough to take away from either of those aspects - they're just kinda there in the background - the vocals are carrying those songs, IMO.

    Your songs are great though! I'm not having a go - just giving my honest feedback. Best of luck with it.
