Default THE UNWANTED - The Town That Christmas Forgot

Here's my band's effort.

It's about a town that treats Christmas as nothing but and excuse to get drunk and have presents, not the happy and caring time that most see it as.

Please excuse my awful singing. You can probably guess which singing is mine from that description!

Any comments welcome and apprieciated.

Not bad sound wise. I did think the way the powerchords suddenly finish was a bit irritating no natural, or mix based fade out to them. Yeah, the vocal is a bit ropy but I think that was more down to choosing the wrong key to sing in.
All in all a nice song, well done.

Not so much the wrong key, more having a cold and needing to get it recorded before Christmas, hence no time to recover!

Cheers for listening

This is good stuff. I've never heard this song before...is it an original of your band's? I love it at any rate. Your vocals weren't bad at all BTW IMHO. Very catchy too. Good work! And, Merry Christmas!

Yes, it is an original. Maybe I should've stated that!

That you very much, and Merry Christmas to yourself
