Well done!
The Little Woman came into the room at a brisk pace saying 'Who is that?"
Good production and lots of poon tang!
A catchy tune too boot. (no pun intended)

First off, please dont think Im here to be a jerk trying to start stuff. The video was nicely made and Im happy for you. But that song is what turns me off to new country. And like I said before, the video is well made but the use of bimbos is a little on the lame side. Your bass playing was very good and I wish you all the luck in moving forward.

Seriously, GREAT! I'm 51 years old and more of a classic rock guy, but I grew up listening to my mother's country music and watching Hee-Haw! (Did I just admit that out loud?) It's got the hook, the look, and it COOKS! GREAT!

Man I'm thinking you think Nickelback (and all their multi-platinum albums) suck as well. Not trying to start anything with you but I'm an avid country fan...I watch CMT every Sat. and Sun. morning while playing with my baby...and this vid would fit right in. You really could have stopped with "nice vid...well made".

Aaron_D,

Dude...awesome work!!! Looks great, sounds great!!! Nice and catchy...good luck moving forward, now is a great time for this style of country and you all got the look and and the tune(s? would like to hear more), great site as well.

One question on the production side...were you doing that to a backing track or are you all just that damn tight? A few bands in my area have tryed to use some live footage in there vids but were SOOOOO far off the tempo of there CD the had to use all kinds of filters and "time trickery" like "frame stutter" to make things look even close. If you weren't using a backing track (like all the pros do) I bow to yours a your drummers ROCK SOLID MEETER!!!!!

I must say first I am not a fan of country music....Im in a metal band and prefer to listen to heavy stuff.



That was excellent!

Fantastic video-I felt like I was at the club with you guys.

Song-Good lyrics and the production was unbelieveable. Nice and clean...no mud.

Thanks for all the replies!

I know what some of you mean by new country, but it is what it is. Love playing it--didnt listen to it much before this band.



This isnt a live recording. We recorded the track ourselves and had it mixed professionally. We played to the track 3 times with our amps muted during a show to get the live footage. Hopefully, there will be more to come!

Again, I truly appreciate all the replies positive and otherwise. You dont last long in this arena without a little thick skin.

+1000 you got the right attitude man...all the way around. Yeah i didn't think it was a "live recording"...it sounded WAY to good to be "live" . It makes sense how you did it...its the right way to do it...and my drummer thanks you...I would have had to kick him in the...well...you know...if you all just got a live performance to sinc up like that!!!! Again grate work man...all the best!!!!

I really don't like country music, but that was basically a rock tune, sung country. I'm not sure what Shawshank72's objection to nice-looking, well-dressed women in a music video is, but I listened to it a few times...and watched, too!

Change nothing, and move forward!!

Very nice job and a nice tune....
I think there could have been a bit more footage of the band members..

I am a NYC boy and this lifestyle is different from what I am used to ... it looks like fun.

Best wishes to you and your band...
