Good track......reckon the verse vox could be less strained....softer would work better for my ears :) Good song though.....warmer mix on the drums maybe. Kevin Mooney
Super track ! Love it ! Thx for commenting on Marlons tune guys ;) I also love your tunes. I will check the others as well. Seb
excellent song - good lyrics - good message, good vox & good rap - gritty and chill track - nice work:-)
Great,great tune. Lovin the vocals man, and the raps. Great rapper. Funkyness to the next level. Nice one
Your name is Steve! lol... :) From funk to rock - you got this music stuff down! Another great song & performance!
I'm sooo not sure on this one, good vocals/music, but the two don't seem to go together for my ears. Can't quite put m' finger on it :-S
good track, larry!
Very enjoyable, love the vocal harmonies. 'Ghettos on fire', so is this track.........excellento
lovin the bass'n beats and that laid back funky wahh geeeetar ;) and those backing vocals work well too. nice one Larry!
Great track, I personally think the contrast in the vocal styles really suits the track and works, leaad voclas are very slick, top notch production, rated from me
nice tune mate if ya want a gravley voice smoke 40 a day lol,i think it sounds good as it is,rated
LOVE the way the vocals come in strong with lotsa attitude. There are some sections later, though where there seems to be some pitching problems in the vox? In the chorus (lovely chorus!!) the lead vocal isn't on the same level as the lead vox for the verse....personally i think the lead vox starts off so superbly you could keep it that way, like we're listening to THE lead vocalist of a band on stage throughout, then the chorus harmony stuff would serve as a brilliant counter like the other band members are coming in parts....but when the lead vox keeps shifting it becomes harder to imagine the band's setup and distracts from the song. (i was just trying to visualize the song as it would be performed live).
This song's got some excellent elements and the structure is dead right. All the elements shine and most of the vocals but hell man if you could just get some more dirt and gravel in yer voice it'd work damn fine. Obviously it suits a black guys voice (stereotyping/racism warning?) mebbi cos we're used to hearing black dudes sing this style but I think that's what I would want to do - get the vocal sound to have more presence. The harmony vocals work well - mebbi try and double track the vox a bit more and add a touch of chorus. Dunno really but it would be a killer if you get this right... Still I'm pressing the R button.
in your face, beautifully produced, with great vocals! all round brilliance!
anther change in direction...really good vocals..nice guitar licks and a phat beat....production sounds like its improving? .... its a laid back groovage....not a fan of R&B; but i am a fan of good vocals :) so yup i dig it thumbs up steve..very enjoyable... pro sounding track

I once heard that the worst thing you can tell and A&R rep is that you are the "V Word" or in other words Versatile. They claimed you should find your niche and stick with it. Unfortunately, I fall into that category because I write and sing on many different styles of songs. I can't help it. Maybe that means I don't have a shot. What's the difference really? Music to me is about expressing what's inside your soul regardless of genre in hopes that you connect with the listener. So on that note, I sing and write Rock, RnB, Rap, Acoustic, and whatever songs I feel in my soul. I hate it when I hear musicians say, "This is all I'm good at" or "This is all I know how to do". I never agree because you could easily flip burgers if you choose to. It's just the cool thing to say to make people think you are so dedicated to your craft. But maybe I'm just envious because I wish this is all I could do. So anyhow, take a listen and hopefully you connect with something that I connect with. Thanks for stopping by and the following is a brief history of a no-name in Rockford telling my stories:...

Larry Lane is a name I'd seen crop up a few times in the Official Chart, but up until this review, much to my shame, I hadn't checked them out. In fact, such was my ignorance, I never realised Larry Lane were a band named after a neighbourhood rat. Truth be told, I thought it was, well, a bloke called Larry. Anyway, the band don't waste any time trying to hide their influences. Two li
You can see the infl;uences of this track shine right through from the neggining, which is no bad thing. The tracks has a lush feel to it with a nice melody which holds you interest and got my feet a'tappin#:)The vocals are well delivered with a distinct sound that weave well with the music. The recording quality is a great and it comes across as a commercial track which you could well see being p
So Many Things - Larry Lane reviewed by DJ DAH Where do I start? Toward the end of the track I was starting to move my body this track oozes style and I can imagine this playing in a bar or something of that nature, where everybody starts tapping their feet and all the girls shaking Ass. Me being a trancy-dancy dude I actually like this track. I can tell it is soulfull. definatley a thu
firstly the lyrics are hysterical and are well worth the listen in itself. particualarly i found the little panned left comments that come in and out which have the feel that its an audience member reacting to this white guy talking crazy talk. i laughed and smiled throughout the tune. im not a huge fan of the melody. but im a huge fan of the structure. the musicmanship is second to n
Third time around for MP3 Unsigned's Larry Lane, and I think he hopes he will fare better this time. Well, I hope so too. This is not to say that the two tracks I have reviewed of his aren't any good - just maybe not my style. I must say though that Broke and Lonely (December 2006) was much more my kind of stuff, it being pretty much a standard blues track and I do have a very so
Let me just say again that Mp3 is full of interesting and very capable artists, and the Reviews that I am doing is just my perspective. There is alot of genres that i know little about, and would never presume to be an authority on. So this is just how I see them So first off with this review, Larry Lane has listed himself as a band but it would seem reading that the band is Steve Lindsay, wh
Although I didn't quite get on with Larry Lane's last track Amnesia (November 2006) there was more than enough going with the track to want me to delve further into this MP3 Unsigned rock artist. Where it scored with me was in production values and performance capabilities because - if I were honest - the song didn't really do a lot for me. Still that's often the way with rock music, s
Larry Lane, although sounding like a character tailor made for Superman, is in fact a band who make - and I quote - 'naughty pimp rock to shake that ass' Yeah, oooerr missis indeed. Still anything that features the word rock is usually fine by me, there isn't much in the genre that really gets on me tits. I'm not sure though that band fits Larry Lane because the bio on the pages talks
Musical/track structure The structure of this track is standard industry structure, bar the ending where there is a play on the opening of the track; this is useful for a “mid-album” style track. The structure of this track has little diversity off normal style pop/indie/commercial rock. I don’t find structure being a strong point of this track, but without its due course the track wouldn’t be abl
Larry Lane – Amnesia O.k, so I am rather blown away by this track – It is superb!! I can’t find one fault!! I don’t really know a lot about Larry Lane, but I have a feeling I will do from now on. This track makes me want to be at Glastonbury, rolling around in the grass, taking in the sunshine and Pear Cider…and wailing along to “Amnesia”. I really could see your sound attracting
First go at a review for a while, but here goes, good luck to us all :o) Larry Lane? Who is this mysterious figure? Is he a soul singer, a pop singer, a rock singer! Well none and all, as 'he' is actually the neighbourhood rat! Now the background of this group, I know not much of, I know Steve is the vocalist (well I think he is, but from now on he IS Steve ;o)), and as fo
First thing i'm wondering is what's 'naughty pimp rock'? Lets find out...
Doesn't take long to realise - pimping bass, naughty rythmn, beats and rocking lead riffs! Not to mention the combination of all three in the vocals.
Larry Lane - FALL BACK Well, well, another cellar-dweller, although this band produces far sunnier work than I could ever do, locked away in isolation without any natural light to speak of. But don't, for one second, feel sorry for me. On with the review. Funk, rock and even elements of soul collide here to produce a fully cohesive song, presented in a clean style that rocks along just nicely.
The opening sequence has a terrific guitar riff which teases the listener with a smattering of drum rolls and then a high hat is introduced that slips us into the great 'dance beat'. The vocals come into the frame at this point and.....WOW! what a professional sound ths talented group have and they must sound awesome 'live'. The second phase settles us down into a cool continuous beat and the fee
