Fair point DD and the Tipsheet board is sadly lacking tips these days but so are all other music tip boards (Rope, ROTD etc)... totally bereft.
However the link didn't work and took some correcting.
I must say I am very impressed - excellent tracks.
No hits though and that is crucial these days to get mainstream attention.

Seems to be a slow response to any kind of tip on the tipsheet nowadays, so I wouldn't take that personally. The board is going through a phase of RIPs and what and who JK was ever involved with rather than actually focusing on new music. I'm sure that will pass. There's little worse than having no responses at all. Even negative comments are a reaction and shows people are paying attention in some way. Silence can be quite demoralising, so here's my response.
I'd say "Best Of Me" is my favourite track but they all have something good about them and will enhance the music scene. It sometimes takes a moment to fully come across, but your music is thoughtful and captivating. Plus I have the feeling you can do even better.
I also note that the link didn't work for me in Explorer and so I had to copy paste it to hear the music. Testing it in Firefox I see it does work. Typical of microsoft really.

The first track that played for me was 'Since November Came' which, when it first started, I thought was very average with nothing to make it stand out, but then it began to grow and I ended up loving it. It has depth and feeling. Another big plus is that it ends rather than fades.
'One More Kiss'. Another average intro. Over a minute before the real hook comes in. I was thinking that it needed an imaginative guitar break, and then it came. A bit of a fade at the end, but the song had mainly finished so that's ok.
'Best of Me'. I like this one from the beginning. A well written and moody ballad which builds nicely and conjures images throughout. A lot of people could identify with this song.
'Last Dance Cinderella' - a better intro, and a bit more of a foot tapper. Not sure it actually goes anywhere particular. Tends to get stuck in a rut. A bit like the more average and forgettable 80s guitar rock.
'Cruel than Kind'. The guitar and piano drew me in, and then the harmonies carried it along. This one could be a classic. The harmonica gives it the perfect edge and makes it my favourite of your songs.
I wish you guys success. I know it's an uphill struggle to get airplay while not signed to a major. Keep going and keep aiming high.

Hi there,
My brother and I are looking to establish ourselves as a songwriting team and place our material with upcoming / established artists. Please have a listen to some of our new material and let us know what you think.
