Very nice! What did ya use to record it? one criticism, the singer is quite low in the mix

thats cool - all criticisms are welcome. yeah we gotta sort the mix out.

glad u liked it.

we've got a roland vs2480 studio mixer (essentially a 24 track mixer with hard drive) that we took to a hall, plugged into, and played live. Did a whole bunch of other songs from hendrix to zeppelin etc. twas a blast :-) we did our own stuff too - some of it's online at my band's website:

Wow! Well done. My only comment is: it would be cool if you added the (vocal) harmony part in the "used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it..." section. 
The fact that it was a live recording makes it all the more impressive, though. 
I'm gonna go to your site and check out your band. Again, great job.

Hey, that's bloody good!

I like how the lead guitarist forgets to put on his distortion again right after the solo ;).
Oh, and it's cool when the vocalist goes 'Knockedy knockedy' at the end... you can really hear the Britisch accent there :).

Nice job. Add some layering, dub the vocals, will sound very professional then.

*edit*
Hey, I just checked out your site... nice. Like the music, sounds very good. Reminds me of the '95 snakepit incarnation for one reason or the other (song structure and vocal style I guess...).

The funny thing about this, is though done well, you sound Scott singing it.

Tell the bassist you're not playing Seinfeld theme.
Good otherwise.
