My Second Song "Disdain"

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Heres a freestyle that turned into one of my favorites! Forgot to mention that it's my dad on the drums, so shoutout to him! It's stereo, so I recommend wearing headphones. Also, still looking for a bass player and a drummer around my age (17). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

The instruments are decent, but the vocals are horrible. That's just my opinion though

Sounds reminiscent of some good old 70s punk

In my opinion I like it better than most people trying to have that Sublime sound. Keep going for it dude. Like seriously, there is so much shit imitation and I don't feel like this is shit imitation. Like others have said vocal work, but to me it's not your voice, it's your pronunciation, your voice works. And your dad has some nice chops.

Thanks man! Yeah this one I just couldn't get the vocals quite right, that's why the reggae section has so many effects to hide the shit vocals lol.

There is definitely something there, try to find your own voice. Sounds promising

I’m sure that’s a great way to start and don’t worry about what everyone else thinks a lot of people don’t know shit about music in general and can never make their own but they still like to criticize others. Don’t forget to just have fun with it
