Vocal harmonies remind me of ELP or CSN&Y

Instantly I am into this. Another psychedelic gem. A real floating feeling in this track and real hypnotic production. Again, the subtle effects are brilliantly employed. Really digging the bass playing in this number.

This break is great. So much going on. Loving how the guitar and bass are weaving together.

All up, you guys are in the zone at the moment - playing and song writing. Enjoying your sound more and more with every listen. Another strong song. Thumbs up! FAV!

great track :) check out mine too if you have time, thanks!


Had another listen to this track. It is growing more and more on me. it is real top draw stuff.

One of the more eclectic psychedelic groove tracks from our "Stone Fly" album, “Questions” is similar in feel to "Feeling Like I'm Over You."  The lyrics were mainly written by Clay, the guitarist, at a time when he was studying history and simultaneously inundating himself with current events on CNN.  The troubling crimes against humanity, both past and present, and the bleak outlook for the future of mankind weighed heavily on his mind while writing this song.  Referencing the lyrics “think I’m gonna cry,” the guitar solo section was actually supposed to be symbolic of the songwriter’s tears dripping down.  This track also marks the beginning of Clay's experimentation with the organic wave-like phasing effect for the rhythm guitars.  It was first tried on the synthesizers for "Blame the Foothill Tribe" and on "Questions" it makes the song breathe like a living organism.  This effect was used a few more times for some of the rhythm guitar on "Conspiracy No. 9" and the "Scatterbrain" EP.   We hope you like the song.

------  BIO -------
The Foothill Tribe (f/k/a Steel Dog Cafe) is a three piece alternative-psychedelic-progressive rock band (and recording artist) from the tiny ocean-side town of Destin, Florida, USA. The Tribe is: Clay Urquhart (Guitars | Vocals); Rob Gilmore (Drums | Vocals); Daniel Bertram (Bass Guitar).  

A Note On The Photos: The picture beside each uploaded song is the Cover Art for the Album, EP, or Single the song is on. We will update our Profile with our discography soon.   

We really enjoy (and continue) trying  to push the creative envelope with our music, whether it be with our songs or instrumentals. We often incorporate different genres, styles, and sounds into our music. Our desire and goal is to create original music that is interesting, different, and uniquely recognizable as The Foothill Tribe's own sound. Thank for listening and we truly hope you enjoy our material.   

As a three piece power trio we have no separate front man. We tried out several "would-be" front men when we were first forming the band, but ultimately we were not satisfied with any of the proposed lead singers because they just did not fit with the band or our vision for the future. Out of necessity we made the decision to handle vocals ourselves in what would become a "twin lead-singer" approach with Clay (guitars) and Rob (drums) both handling lead vocals, and with Dan (bass guitar), Clay, and/or Rob handling back-up vocals depending on who was singing lead. This twin lead-vocal approach has developed over the years and forms a key ingredient (and some have gone as far as calling it a trademark) of the band's sound.   

Over the course of writing and recording our various Albums, EPs, and Single releases the band's sound has developed significantly. There are a handful of songs along our path that show the growth of our sound and are witness to a change in the band's direction creatively. We hope to have a chance to tell some of the stories about these key songs and what was going on at the time. We try to offer a bit of background on each song, and sometimes even the lyrics are posted, in the song description for anyone who might be interested in a bit more info about a song.  
 
Since joining Sound Cloud, we have made some awesome new friends and met some great bands and artists. We really appreciate all who listen to our music and who have elected to follow us. Our sincerest thanks! We look forward to continuing to share our music, to making more new friends, and to continuing to discover new and inspiring music/artists/bands as we all grow together. THANKS TO ALL for  sharing in our story and for allowing us to share in yours!  Thanks again for listening to The Tribe!
