Hmm at least somones been busy. Come on freelabel members give it all you got.
After the demise of Polymer we’ve been getting a few people in to come jam to hopefully find a few more players.. Had some hits, and some misses, but that’s to be expected I guess.. The two here were the most fun and slotted in the best.. Both at separate jams. It’s not a band lineup or anything – just a bunch of people trying to make music on the first meet.. Rough and tumble – and good times!

Hey guys. Got a raw cut for your input. This is DC and Allen – our new name is Eminent A.D.
This is one of Allen’s songs that I have heard people singing after open mic night so I wanted to play around with it a bit and see what I might do to it
All tracks are just scratch tracks. I think we might kick it up a key.
I have thought about pulling the electric guitars during the verse back more and adding piano and bringing in the guitars gradually until the prechorus change then the big chorus. I do know that I want a thick, almost Def Lep vocal during the chorus so that Allen can do a nice intense sounding Gone part up an octave (maybe).

Raw Cut
I’m working out the lyrics to this song. It’s dedicated to my 16 year younger brother who is headed to either Iraq or
Afghanistan in a month.
He too is a talented musician. (http://www.myspace.com/114665321). I hope he comes back with all his fingers so he can keep playing.
The verses have to be finished by next Thursday.
Before the end of the year this should be finished. There will be crunchy guitars and a string section.
*Full Lyrics – 3 verses
Had my son playing the acoustic bass (he’s just learning the bass)*

A loose idea named P.B because we kinda thought it sounded like that style. We have since decided to try and get away from this kinda “generic rock” style so this song has been abandoned. Fun to play and may be kept as an emergency song for live gigs that we can improvise over to make more dynamic. Improv lyrics and dancing.
Live in the jam room, recorded on the field recorder.

A new idea from last nights jam. Very loose but all the parts are there. Some improv lyrics and minor band confusion – but thats what makes playing with others fun.

I started working out a guitar riff and the words just kinda came to me. Not sure where it is going to go. Someone told me the chorus sounded too much like a Cheap Trick song, which means I might bury this for a while…
What do you think?

Add 3/4 of a cup of Dave then add 1/4 a cup of Timmy. A pinch of pop. A splash of grunge.Leave to hang in a cool enviroment for approximately 2 years..Should be ready indefinitely.
May the family gather around the camp fire. As the boys from the bush harmonate in this serenading track.

This is a new song that my singer and I are working on. I thought I would post the evolution for the raw cuts.
This is just two guitar parts I had floating around in my head. Allen (the singer) will hand me some lyrics this week and then I can start crafting the music around the lyrics better and start determining what instruments will be playing what parts.

hey dudes, just a quick idea for a verse and chorus. Has more of a rock feel than my normal stuff, Nate (Smash the Gate) Rose is keen to develop a vox track for this idea so everyone should get to see the song as it progresses which will be cool…Any ideas and feedback welcome…

Created and jammed on last night. Very different for us as its not a 4/4 time sig. By no means complete, inprov vox, changes, basslines etc.. ie: us birthing a tune idea. Guitars cant be heard, but, vocals sound great.. this ones going to be good once written..

Extended jam of a very loose idea, field recorded, sorry you can’t hear the vocals. Really gets going about 2mins in, still an idea, cheese on rye…
A total improv screw around at the end of practice.. Actually almost sounds like a song.. I think were gonna keep it for the rougher gigs we may encounter.. If you listen close you can hear us negotiating with Jeff’s wife for 3 more minutes jam time past curfew… haha… awesome fun though.. poor recording – field recorder –
Raw field recorder capture of us jamming a riff idea.. Music only – Big G was absent this jam
An “on sofa with acoustic” recording of me trying to make a country song as requested. I really dislike country so this was as close as I could get off the cuff. A new much more cliche country tune is in the works, but this was still kinda goofy fun..

Originally wrote this over a year ago as a possible colab tune for Nate and I to mess with. Just some guitar parts recorded with my strat into the old version of Guitar Rig
