I click on song tittles and this one caught my fancy... the Proods seem to be many things musically... and i like that... but also enough the same I can tell it is them... bravo...
my sister, god rest her soul, was so in love with the 60's music and I heard and liked alot of it because of her... your music would have fit right in there... at least some of them... and why not? it was a great time in music...
yeah... i love the male/female voices... nice mix. the whole vibe is dripping in the idea of just melting into the chair...lovely
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…
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…
raw and hungry sounding.... love the jangle guitar... nice bass lines for sure... and the rat a tat tat drums always work so nice for me.
lead ties in real nice...
vocally remin of a younger Neil Young... or maybe a bit like REM I like it
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.
Lyrics-
The lonely days of summer made me think of you
And I remember good times we have…
Another one for Steve, our amazing bass player….a BIG Planet of the Apes fan.
I never followed Those movies, but he assures me that he’s kept within the bounds of the narrative.
-Lyrics…
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

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

Lyrics…
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

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…
this was born of working on a different more heavy rock/metal project...
and I had this drum track I played from my Tama kit that I got into and built on that...
Shecter Omen bass DI to Zoom L-20 where this was recorded and mixed. Mastered…
This is the old Willie Nelson song that was famously covered by Patsy Cline which, in many ways, made Willie's career happen.
Learning how to play the keys has been a slow, but steady struggle bus. The biggest challenges so far (other than…
more satire. I like the mix of the crazy analog synth (Behringer Poly D) against that aggressive guitar. The bass kind of makes this flow along (Shecter Omen direct to record, no effects). Tama drums. Gamma amp with Boss ME-25 feeding it…
This is a John Prine song.
And it's another cover that means a lot to me. John's songs have a melodic and lyrical beauty that is inimitable. This one, in particular, hit close to home after covid took him from us. I know it's silly, but it…
You've inspired me to look up the originals to all of your covers. This is one I knew upon hearing.
It's a great cover....your spin adds some real feeling that the original didn't express as well.
we've been on this planet supposedly civilised for 300 thousand years and we still keep getting it wrong ....Why? War is not the only answer it just seems to be the first to come to mind..
we keep getting it wrong…
I doubt Ai could ever come up with stuff like this.
Ai is good... I had it do some covers of my music and it was fabulous.. but this ain't Ai... and I don't think Ai could ever come up with me... and I have nothing against the stuff really but…
I recorded some backyard sounds of the melting snow flowing into the gutters, with some chickadees in the background. I layered those two field recordings and faded between them. Synths were from the Deluge's DX7 synth engine. I made an arrangement…
This is about the power that is contained in Uranium and how that power has dominated world thinking and action. It is hard to comprehend that a clump of enriched Uranium, about the size of two mens fists, can propel a 10000 ton ship through…

Love the rock spin and vocals! 10/10
Comments made by The Proods
Amazing….absolutely perfect. Wow. I’m jealous of this one. 😃
I love it!
again....you're kinda a genius. and the 90's marketing campaign that kicked up such a fuss. i thought it was excellent.
dammit. It's always a treat listening to your latest tracks...it's definitely time for me to revisit the archives.
i can almost taste the linguiça! nicely done.
great work...you've captured some of Willy's charm.
Wow...another beauty.
Satire? You? This is hilarious!😃
Wow....what a well-orchestrated track. Well done!
Oh yeah....that's a nice groove.
You've inspired me to look up the originals to all of your covers. This is one I knew upon hearing. It's a great cover....your spin adds some real feeling that the original didn't express as well.
Nice...a moody and soulful cover. Keep 'em coming.
It’s thetworegs’ Give Peace a Chance, with a little bit of Won’t Get Fooled Again sprinkled on top.👍
Woo….jazzy and cool.
Indeed…..wonderfully original, though I disagree about AI. It spawns from Satan’s bumhole.
Real pro quality!
Nice.....made me wish that my chair had a massage feature.
The syncopation is mesmerizing.
Zang
Rocking good fun...as well as informative. The guitar work is enviable.
