I watched quite alot of those movies though I would not know if this is accurate or not... but I don't care.. it is still crazy cool... sort of like a punk version of black sabbath... I like fuzz... I never used to until I started to pay attention to it... you guys cover some varied ground...
Here comes another summer
and there go the fellas who surf
Grab your girl and tell her, “Baby….
well you and me are gonna
Smurf, Smurf, Smurf!”
It don’t matter if they close the beaches
or if the other gang snags our turf
You don’t even…

stratego mention? wow... cool... yeah man... I am diggin the surf/beach vibe here...
it is a happy tune... and the sounds are very good...
obviously you are very creative as well... some varied and interesting subjects in your songs and also great music to go along with it.
really good mix
This song was inspired by t.v. commercials featuring actor William Devane, who has spent the last few years trying to convince Americans to buy gold.

And I remember good times we have…

yeah... buy gold! and silver! I remember those commercials..
all too well... ah the days of good ole TV...
this is a really good recording.. The vocals really work against those great guitar sounds.
a very good mix for this style... seems perfect to me.
Holy sheets this one is cool. That swingy guitar rhythm and awesome vocals all around. It almost felt like a drum was going to roll in the last few seconds and join the fade out... probably just felt that way when a drummer is writing the song. :D Really enjoyed this.
This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…
my life is always better with a song by "The Proods".... I would love to be in a bar watching people while you sing this... especially if the lyrics were up on all the TVs and people were forced to see them...
this is why local recordings cannot be beat by commercial stuff

I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
You come from Usa
You come from Usa
You…
We haven't been this excited about a track in a while.
Yeah, we're a little bit angst-y I'm afraid...musically anyway.\A special hello to our Alonetone friends from the grand production days...so glad to see y'all are still making music!
I typed a long comment... and then it changed to the next song and the comment was gone... whoops...
this is legit... I like the music from the era this reps.. I enjoyed seeing your jam room/recording space. Nice mix and I really like that bass at the end... that single note just hits so well.
Okay Man
I thought that I told you
Carrying the weight can be tough
But maybe I was sleeping,
You're a hero wee toro
Gotta plan to handle it all
But maybe you can listen.
Big Man, you don't need nobody else
Amen, you'll just put it…
way cool... I like the 60s feel to this... the drums are so perfect for this style too...
even the way they sound.
the lyrics are old school with a bit more modern flair... back in those days you might get beat up or beat someone up and there was no law suit.. yah just got up and lived on.
nice guitar work and vocals too
Another great tune from good ol' Brian.
Original guitarist Keith is back to sprinkle a little magic on this song, upping the quality to levels that go beyond great...well past my own usual half-assed efforts. It won't be long before they kick…
True story…There's this dude I know who hosted a go-fund-me for himself, citing his numerous health problems. Anyway, he used a picture of himself as a child as the profile pic, and called it "Help Bring Jimmy's Smile Back".
Well...with all of…

Hi gang.
The Proods are back....Brian at the helm this time.
Our methodology is thus....one of the 4 of us introduce a song, and then we'll bang out a finished track in under an hour with as few over-dubs as possible. This one we put some effort…

This is a piece I did a few years ago. It's basically an up-tempo instrumental rock thing. I was going for a bit of a "shred" vibe on this track & I nicked the idea of the slow blues ending from Ugly Kid Joe :-)
An instrumental guitar tune which combines some flashy rock "guitar hero" stuff with a strong melody. Couldn't think of a title so I just did what I always do in that situation... nick the name of an old movie from the '50s
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…

Oh that jangle….sounds like 1967! I love the vibe!
Love the rock spin and vocals! 10/10
Rocking!
Wow! This is powerful. I’m not a fan of the planet of the apes either but maybe I should go back and watch.
Nice! Give 'em hell, Steve ! I get to hang out in Sudbury and Framingham. Keep 'em coming boys!!!
Geez, you guys do quite well working within your self imposed limits. Nice :-)
Sounds like it ended on the cutting room floor after a tense debate about what goes on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath! And I love that album. Nice!
Comments made by The Proods
There aren't enough folks out there doing what you do. Really looking forward to more...
MORE!!!!!
Fun!
Mesmerizing!! I didn't want this to end.
I love this track! It reminds me of the Monkees...and believe me, from me that is a compliment!
Now we're TALKING!!!
So utterly shocked and saddened by his passing. True feeling of loss for my brother in music.
Wahoo!!!!
Your stuff is amazing. It's fun trying to guess at your musical influences...but the music is so unique.
I downloaded this tune. My favorite on Alonetone.
I was so grateful for the kind words that I headed right over to listen to everything you've got. Fun stuff my brother in music!
