Great driving by the drums and bass player...very cohesive. Fully enjoyed the visuals and the storyline. Vocals where a bit low for me, would have like to have heard more of the lead.

Fight 4 Freedom [Official Video] by Silas Price
I liked the creativity and the storyline, it was somewhat comedic and fun to watch. I didn't miss out on the serious subject matter either which made me reflect on this past election...it seemed like a purge of sorts! Well done.
Man they aren't ready for this truth. Great storytelling and banging track. Where can I hear more?

Picture On The Wall by Josh Steinhart
Really enjoyed the storyline and musical arrangement. Time DOES move along without us really noticing. Haunting goodbye story but an awesome celebration of the good times in life. 4/5 for me and I'd add this to my playlist sure thing.

make by Nick Arneson
I was hooked at the opening bell on this one! You are so right in the fact that "...the truth isn't fu*king shared..." many are lost as to what to do as individuals. Great call to action as we need to band together to stop the "...monster..." from running the way it does now. Sonically the track is amazing, great intervals and changes, lyrical missiles dripping with emotion yet not a hopeless vein...love it.
Calico Jay submitted media.
Awesome sonics and a great story. Love the message about owning your own home, not many speak on this level with their music lately. While not the single I'd add to my playlist, definitely an album cut that makes the project whole. Well done!

Highway Jack Knife (Guitar/Vocals/Drum) by Contrivance
Not bad for a one-taker! Love the concept and yes vocals needed to be boosted as drummer was smashing!!! Bass player might have kept drummer more on point as in his runs he kinda got a bit off but overall the punctuation was good. I enjoyed the changes and intervals very much and I'll bet with a good mix and boosted vocals this song jams.

Summer Of Love by Lou
This is a nice lounge act song and would set the tone for an amazing candle-lit evening. Lovely arrangement and full voice moments. No need to hide your power though, the track can handle it!
Oh Holy Night by Chad Rehmann & Cremaine Booker

Mirror Side A [Influencer Preview] by Pruett
Amazing collection of songs. Love the metal edge...I used to ride out on convoy in Afghanistan to Nonpoint "Bullet With A Name" and the like. Your music is speaking for a lot of us who did damage elsewhere only to find out we'd been lied to as we witness the same garbage back here at home. Musically, great arrangement, the diversity in vocal timbre puts just the right emphasis and I enjoyed how the vocals were separate yet melded into the sonic dynamics. Looking forward to more from you!

Slick wordplay, excellent arrangement and punctuation with the guitar! Fun song and good album cut.
If I Had A Dollar (feat. LilChief) by Chris LaBella
Anytime the sax is added to an arrangement it makes it extra special. Love the vocals, perfect timbre to accompany the production. Had to laugh at the reality of the story...If I had a dolla!!! That's too real. Imp it for radio and this could probably get mad love.

A Night Like This by Melissa Gottlieb
Great pure voice and arrangement. Not overbearing with the frills and runs which made it more impactful for me. Natural use of timbre and intonation melded well with the sonics.
