It's about a boxer who finds out he's a drummer. Let me know what ya think. All instruments/vocals are me.

the guitar and drums sound great. in my opinion, im not a fan of the vocals. I can see the instrumentals being used in the future somewhere though.

The drums are a cajon.

And what do you mean by the vocals? You mean the melody? lyrics? my voice?

I don't like the tone. it sounds very nasal like, and although the melody goes well with the instruments, the tone bothered me. didn't really pay attention to the lyrics, but i personally never do.

IMO the sound is verry good but i also dislike the voice alot and i really mean alot, it don't feel right not if this is your own thing u sing about, sounds to how u say it in English .... second google translate ..... bit annoying - little nagging voice, It also sounds like you're talking through your nose.

But the music is really nice :), i have seen almost 190 artist live alot of different kind, but if i hear this on a festival i really gonna enjoy it and lay on the gras with some friends.

Hope u can do something with your voice :)

BTW: sorry for the grammer bad English

the music is pretty good. you sing well, too. the problem is you just dont have have an appealing singing voice. sounds like the vocals from a bad 30's folk recording or something. sucks, but thats just the way it is. i have the same problem, actually. try as i might, i just cant seem to get decent sounding vocals.

maybe try a death metal growl instead... ;)

A voice can always be trained. I can change style, tones, and sounds. I have with every song ever since I started, check out some of my others.

And I'm not a fan of death metal.

was kidding about death metal... ;)

but really, though, theres only so much you can train your voice. i can do lots of things with my voice. tons of accents, voices, chartoon characters, lots of singing styles. pretty much everything except a decent sounding one. my voice is just too nasal sounding. even when i sing in a deeper voice, it just doesnt sound pleasant.

dont let that discourage you from making music, though. if it doesnt bother you, and you dont care whether people like your voice or not, then go on singing yourself. or you might want to partner with someone who could do the singing. keep going though, youve got it on the music side.
