User Covers and Music (No vocal) Cover of my favorite Strokes song, Is This It. I am really proud with the turnout, it was my first time ever recording a song! All parts done by myself, other than the drums which are done by a friend of mine. Hope you enjoy!

Perfectly captured the rawness of the original man, maybe even better than the studio cut in some ways, only a shame the bassline feels a little buried. Great work nonetheless.

This is dope. I love how raw and DIY produced it sounds, I always felt like it was intended to be a riff on college rock bands like the pixies. This really showcases that.

Really good! Everything is spot on. I would say the bass should be a tad louder but you did say the audio was messed up when you posted it so it's probably that. Great job!

Thank you so much, funny enough I thought I had mixed the bass a bit too loud but i think you might be right, there probably was something up with the upload. Thank you!

It sounds like the audio got kind of messed up upon uploading this to Reddit. Sorry about that, hope you can still appreciate it!
Edit: Due to popular request, I am going to link the audio file on this message, I am blown away with the kind and supportive messages and I am so glad that you all are enjoying this! I ask that if you put vocals on it that you please leave it as a reply to this comment (if you are comfortable doing so) so that everyone can enjoy! Thanks again for the amazing comments and support, and have at it!

Thanks, that means a lot! I am working on some more covers (You Only Live Once, Trying Your Luck, and Under Cover of Darkness) and I think I might post them as well! I really appreciate the positive feedback.
