Let's take a look at what a few Indabans have been up to this week.
Diffuse the Bomb - Dave Rand: This electro/rock/guitar jam is a somewhat tough nut to crack. On the one hand it's a pretty simple and pleasing progression, but on top of that is some serious guitar work. The session claims to need vocals but good luck fitting them in anywhere. However, what do I know (nothing) and I'm sure one of the talented singers on this website could find a way to add some words to an already well-developed tune.
Never Fails - Eli G: Another electro-ish tune here but much different from Rand's session above. This track seems to be waging a war between being minor and major chords and I, for one, like the fight. It feels like the major chords are dying to break through but a steady minor melody persists beneath them, thwarting their efforts. All around a great song and after a mix or two, this could be a real showpiece for Eli.
User - Timothy Emmerick: Being a Brooklynite myself I have a soft spot for my fellow borough dwellers which is why I'd like to introduce you all to Timothy here. But Brooklyn isn't the only reason you should know him. His style is a little country, a little bluesy and not too much rock n' roll, but I have no doubt you'll enjoy it anyway. He's got a voice to match his bluesy tunes, too. Enjoy.
