No Exit by NemesisVex
Hank emailed us this:
I wrote this song around 1992 or 1993, wanting it to be a guitar song even though I hadn’t really picked up the instrument. I re-recorded it recently, using a lot of the original arrangement from my cassette demo, and it’s not working for me. So I’d like some feedback. I’m wondering if the guitar riff in the left channel is really strong enough to be repeated as much as it is. I’m also not really impressed with second riff in the right channel. I want the drum track to sound mechanical and new wave-ish, but it seems a bit too rigid. I think I’ve written myself into a corner with this song, or perhaps there’s just not enough meat on the bones of this tune.
What can I do differently with this song? Or should I?
