After a lot of thinking, I have concluded that my original music is the most similar to these 12 bands.

1. Volbeat
2. Alter Bridge
3. Halestorm
4. Tremonti
5. Plush
6. Mammoth WVH
7. Paralandra
8. Sum 41
9. All Time Low
10. Mason Hill
11. The Warning
12. blink-182

What demographics should I be pitching my music to?

From that list, millennials. Fans of those bands, basically. Your lyrics are very much in the vein of a younger audience though.

Awesome! Congrats! I will check it out.

Ah sweet. Hope you can get some attention for it. This was my favourite of your songs, they're all good stuff though.

Nice work, Max and Crumbs! After my first listen my notes are:

Excellent clarity across the vocals, drums, and guitars. I especially like the whoa-ah-oh portions and the last 30 seconds or so of the outro. My only constructive comment is that your singing In the verses can come off a little like recitation. What I mean is, it's like you are reading from an open book. I like the lyrics but perhaps work on your singing inflection and give some room/space to hold out some words or phrases longer. Push the variation in your high and low points - emphasize vowels or consonants. Otherwise it can come across as monotonous.

I will add it to my YouTube music playlist for 2024.

I love it! Great Job!
It certainly hits home for me as I have recently started to take the sport of running very seriously.

Three years ago today, I played my first paid show ever. Three years later, I have released an original song to streaming services. I never thought that I would come this far.

All right at the Observatory in Santa Ana to see Bruce Dickinson solo. Going to be a good one.

I'm sorry to hear about that, Max. Weather can complicate things but I'm glad you made the decision to stay safe. There are some expensive lessons in life. I've never resold tickets but made a bad decision when I was younger (22 years old) to purchase a car that I had no business buying. I ended up backing out of the deal (very embarrassing and I had to involve my father) and forfeiting my $2500.00 deposit. In your situation I would ask, did you purchase the ticket for ... as a gift or was the plan for ... to reimburse you? I'm sad to hear that you are no longer friends, but I think if that is the case you may want to cut your losses rather than further "fueling the fire" by seeking repayment. Just my opinion...do with it what you will.
