When you get a chance, check out our new album. I apologize that it's streaming so you can't move between tracks, but you can listen to it while your surfing the ol' talkbass. Any feedback would be appreciated. I am more curious about the songs in general rather than the bass. I know my bass playing is pretty pedestrian. You can also check out 4 of the tracks on our myspace page listed below.

The mix sounds great, levels seem right on. couldn't help but pay attention to the bass, I like the sound and the bass lines. first four songs (cross the border, makeshift, slavery, bread beard read) really grabbed me, each one are different on their own but have good cohesiveness.New Regime grew on me. I liked Early Departure alot, I think it is a great song, not boring and has nice varying parts. One Day and Saints and Sinners are also great, I thought they were nice and powerful where they should be, excellent sound. Selfish circles grea on me like New Regime did. Rescue Team and Shells were excellent ending songs, full bodied. singer has a great voice and sound. Overall I really like the band, I would definately buy your Cd, if you ever play in Tucson, Az...I would definately see you live!
Good Job!
