I like the music and your enthusiasm, but I'd like you to write your lyrics a bit more... cryptic. They're a bit too literal for my tastes.

Like instead of sing about getting a text on your phone, something more like, I dunno, "Your handheld words glow but aren't glowing."

Just my personal preference though.

I bet Bloots will downarrow this.

I used to, then I started listening to Single Mothers and went full literal.

I might use "Your handheld words glow but aren't glowing" though, stolen ;)

Ha, no worries. I've written shedloads of songs over the years but never got round to learning an instrument - you're welcome to have one and turn it into something if you want.

I'm really liking that Callis.

In fact the only thing that doesn't really do it for me is your singing. Not a criticism as there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not for me, although the screamier guttural bits I do like. If you've got a few more hardcore tracks on the album, count me in.

It's a mix, some songs verge on grindy and doomy, whereas others are more Hardcore and Post Punk.

Sure you'll like bits of it if that's the case. That one I just shared is one of the more "melodic" songs in terms of having a chorus.

Cool, I'll give it a listen.

I'm coming around to liking some Doom bands. I'd always thought the whole genre was a futile attempt to top Morbid Angel's Where The Slime Live. It still hasn't happened, but there's some good stuff in there, it works live. I'm getting too old for a proper pit, some slow nodding along suits me fine.

That's not a bad effort at all, the aggression is there without doubt, It would help your overall sound if you collectively pooled some money together to have your work mixed and mastered by a pro, at the moment you sound as though your recording took place in a biscuit tin. upthetowen.

We kind of went with the biscuit tin sound. We actually unpolished it a bit as we thought it needed to be more lofi and support our "sound".

Our bassist mixed and mastered it. He's just started out with that stuff, might not pass on the feedback as he spent a few weeks losing every evening to mixing/mastering the album. He may actually cry and/or kill someone!

You're on the right track, the sound just needs to be opened up to come across with a bigger effect, this is only my opinion.
Also rehearse as much as pos and good luck.

Single Mothers are a fantastic band! Drew Thompson's lyrics are brilliant

We do a couple of hours a week at present. Our last show was a house party which was a lot of fun :)

Have you heard his new solo stuff?

I am a total fanboy for him and that band. I have the pentagram dreamcatcher tattooed on my arm.

He's a lovely bloke too, spoke to him a couple of times when they've played over here. Fun fact - He owns a Cheap Heat T-shirt because I posted him one. Whether he's ever worn it is anyone's guess!

You guys have got something great! The vocal is spot on. Disagree with other posters comments on the production, the lofi vibe is great for where you guys are at. Anything more slick wouldn't make sense right now. As you get tighter and develop you could then step it up to the next level and record to tape with an experienced producer.
