“Brutal Irony” (DEMO)

“Brutal Irony” is my response to the current world situation, with the planet being locked down due to the coronavirus (COVID-19). Even though it’s just a demo, I’m particularly proud of this recording because I not only sang and played all the instruments on it, but also recorded it and mixed it myself.

When I shared it with some friends, one said it has “a real Tom Petty vibe to it,” while another noted that the doubled vocal parts have a Donald Fagen (of Steely Dan) quality to them. A third said it reminded him of Neil Young — but he always says that about my tunes!

I’m curious: What influences (songs or artists) do YOU hear in it? Thanks for listening!
