Hey! Greetings from Germany. Thanks for checking out our music. There’s definitely a difference in style. I really like your intimate and personal sound.
The percussiveness is what I like about this song.
Exploring different styles of music is what makes listening to RPM Radio so much fun!
Is THIS why I didn't get her???? I was certain Santa had her wrapped up ready for me this time and then on the day it was just the usual stuff under the tree
All I used here was the Yamaha nylon string. No effects, no other instruments, just was how the mic picked up what I was doing. I wish I had gone longer.
You might not believe this but, on all the tracks except "Lookin' For Love" I used an old Yamaha nylon string guitar. Rhythm instruments when used where either an old kick drum pedal against some packing foam that is screwed to the back of my old bass amp cab (cab isn't being used), stomping a kids tambourine or just my foot bumping on the floor (which I didn't realize until later was being picked up by the mic). Thanks much for listening :)
When I was young we lived opposite a big play area - lots of grass and trees and bushes to rampage around - and in the middle a tarmac playground with the "amusements" - a witches hat (aka umbrella), a long rocking horse with saddles along its…
Ashes and dragon's breath - bright things in the sky, childhood games, battlegrounds, cemeteries.
Lyrics:
Long long days, summer holidays, staying up late
green wood on the bonfire, we danced around the flames
street lights and stars…
You’re feeling that you’re broken
And your door’s no longer open
Don’t you ever, ever give up
For all the words unspoken
And the thoughts that were provoking
Don’t you ever, ever give up
But tonight, you have it right
So, get out there…
Preacher man, Holy man
I know who you are
Take our money you won’t get far
Take the cash, in a flash
Off in a limousine
I know who you are
Cause I know who you are
Mission man, Holy man
hand in the jar
I know who you are
Get the stash…
Nice sound. Your sound is similar to The Mighty Men and Joe "Spuds" Riekert, two guys that came onboard this year from RPM. They're cool guys and have some nice stuff. Good work :
Lately it seems, I don’t know what I’m living for
Occasionally, I feel so unsure
And I know this world holds so much more
Seems to me, don’t know who I am any more
I don’t really know what I stand for
But I’ve been held down for too long…
A simple folk style song based off the Velvet Underground's "New Age".
I was given the task to write a song quickly, by no less than a pretty girl I was talking to at the time. The influence is apparent, perhaps theft, but hopefully Dylanesque…
Haha, no Mercedes Benz huh ? :) I've got an old '74 sportster (I know, not considered by some to be from the "Harley years") I've got to get back on the road... cop issue years ago :( Like your raw sound:)
A few of you may know this from my old account. If not it's a new one Ha, Ha.
Seems to be from another Time and Space now ..... And a silly video for youu ...

RPM Challenge 2021
Category: Single (this is side 1)
Genre: Surf
The 2021 RPM Challenge was indeed a challenge and I only signed up to record a single! My month was fraught with problems, mostly having essential gear go south (mixing board…
Swamp Thing is a custom built guitar by Tony Louscher at Luthier's Workshop in Green Bay, WI. I wrote the main riff three years ago and it sounded "swampy" to me. For the 2020 RPM Challenge, I dusted off the little riff and created this tune…
We decided to give the kids an outlet that wasn’t pandemic or lockdown based this February, and made an album as a family for the RPM Challenge 2021. It was just the most precious, funny, brilliant month.

Very cool. Thanks for the comments. Yeah get a reso! Gretsch has an inexpensive one. Keep on busking!

Cool song and that stripped back accompaniment works well. You have a great timbre in your voice.

Nice, I like the guitar in this and the vocals fit the mood :)
Hmm, something out of the norm.... in a really good way :)
I agree, great vocal control. Almost a yodel type voice at times. Nice how you can let your voice break and have it sound right. Good job.
Nice. I like the confidence in the vocals :)
Cool, variations on a theme happening :) Looking forward to hearing more.
Completely different...... and I like it ! :)
Once again, nice work ! Nice to hear a familiar sound and era.

A little bit of Chris Stapleton vibe here. Nice job guys :)
