Default Finally. My first single.

At 40 years old, I finally released something!

A 2 song "single" - The songs "On A Dime" and "Flagplanting"

I have had "singles" and even an "album" before, but not really "officially."

not sure what it all means these days - distrokid made it very easy for me.

But I am still celebrating it.

The songs didn't seem entirely finished to me, but at the same time, will they ever feel that way? Fuck it. Had to release it.

Band name is: The Secret Reasons

Makes me think "Roger Waters pop music". Chorus hook reminds of later era Soundgarden. Clean production. I like that it doesn't sound like something from "now". Spotify makes it difficult to post links to open in their desktop app, they need to come up with a better way - but The Secret Reasons came up in search.

Yeah, I have a difficulty making anything sound "modern" but I mean, it is what it is, I like it and that's good enough haha. I dont really strive for anything too modern sounding anyway. There are influences I take from modern stuff tho

and thanks! Maybe I posted the wrong link tho too.

Doesnt matter if it sounds modern or not, it`s all down to the song and the vocal performance for most punters.
This is a good `un.

thank you! I think the best thing I can do is just make exactly what I want, if there's a vision, follow it.

but more importantly, I am just really trying to get things DONE this year.
