Rooftop Anthem, Indie, all opinions welcome :)

Rooftop Anthem

Hi there,
We're a 5 piece act from Dublin thats been gigging quite some time now and have been building up a good gigging reputation along with having great fun

But most important we would love to hear your opinions on our tunes, at the moment we have only one released as the rest are being kept at bay for release at a later date and we're very excited

We draw on influence such as Kings of Leon (old and new) The Killers, and many more.

good tune lads. good vocal, nice playing, defo radio friendly. yeah I can see you taking off in Ireland.
great combination of booze in your video, irish whiskey and is it polish beer? nice!

MilanPan!c

not bad at all... a bit... bland, but the production is nice, it's melodic and quite commercial I suppose...

Good job...

I liked it, I can see young girls being into your band! ;-)

I agree with MilanPanic though, it was a little "meh"; for me the vocal approach could've been less simplistic, with less syncopation throughout the verses.

But sure its done now and its finished so what does it matter! :-)

Oh and Rooftop Anthem... Gaslight Anthem? ;-)

Rooftop Anthem

Thanks for all the replies lads

Didn't think it was that bland but itss your opinion which is what we're after so thanks for the feedback.

We're giggin the Baggot Inn tomorrow night if anyones around?

Haha no I dont think the name came from Gaslight Anthem anyway :P

Anyways like i said thanks for the opinions and more please

Hey guys, great job on the song and video!! Yous should be proud!!

If you're looking for feedback, my only criticism is that the song should have done something different then going back to another standard chorus after the guitar solo. I'm not saying a brand new part should be written but a dynamic should have been introduced in the final chorus so that

a) The song was given a final push from 'good' to 'great'
and
b) The feel of the final chorus would have changed while fundamentally keeping it the same :cool:

This could be: The guitar solo continuing into the final chorus, The drums double-timing or having the whole band sing the final chorus.

Anyways, congratulations on doing so well!

Rooftop Anthem

Thanks phazer!

We've been messing about and making live changes to all of our songs just to be different to recorded version, we really like the extra singing suggestion for the end of suzie!
