AC DC - Thunderstruck

Recorded this a last year. Thought it was worth sharing. What do you think?
Also I was a little sick when I recorded this. 

Ill Be There For You(cover)

Poets Of The Fall - Carnival Of Rust

TESSERACT AND SKYHARBOR SONGWRITERS UNVEIL SECOND ALBUM, ATONE, THEIR FIRST ON KSCOPE - OUT NOW

"Wildly experimental and curiously accessible" Metal Hammer

A team of songwriters based worldwide and at the height of their own scenes, who met through working on the Indian Rock band Skyharbor, White Moth Black Butterfly have joined forces to create their second album, Atone. Singer Daniel Tompkins began WMBB as a creative outlet aside from writing for UK progressive rock band TesseracT, indulging in his other musical influences from Massive Attack, Enigma, Sigur Ros, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Tool, Dredg and Thrice. After growing Skyharbor as one of India's biggest rock bands with songwriter Keshav Dhar, including taking the stage with acts such as Lamb of God and Deftones, the pair collaborated on Tompkins' new Contemporary Pop project with progressive and experimental music at its heart.

Atone, the new album from WMBB, is masterfully built on organic, textured and cinematic sounds, with two opposing themes of loss and hope. Tompkins explains - "Whilst songs like "Tempest" and "Atone" focus on faith and forgiveness, others like "Rising Sun" and "An Ocean Away" linger on love and nostalgia; throwing the listener into a bygone world of having less and caring more. The front cover artwork captures the beauty of nature and the harsh realities of life: power and dominance. White Moth Black Butterfly represents that very same struggle."

The album was recorded across the globe at studios in India, the UK, US and Taiwan, bringing in their international roster of performers. This included the band's other writers: Randy Slaugh, the producer and string arranger for Skyharbor in the US, who has also worked with Devin Townsend, Architects and Periphery; and co-singer and lyricist Jordan Turner.
Press for 2014's One Thousand Wings:

"Absolutely essential work. Experimental, accessible and quite brilliant... ranks high amongst this year's releases." PROG

"The incredible sincere delicacy of Tompkins's vocals is a perfect compliment for the programmed beats, plaintive strings and pulsing electronics" Windswept Edge

"Sublime and emotive; ‘One Thousand Wings’ is fantastic." A Metal State of Mind

White Moth Black Butterfly - The Serpent (from Atone)

A stripped down, acoustic version of one of my favourite songs by Gorillaz.

LYRICS:

City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You won't get out the county, 'cause you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I want to hear is the message beep
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no
Windmill, Windmill for the land
Learn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats
Lining them up-a like ass cracks
Ladies, homies, at the track
It's my chocolate attack
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
Watch me as I gravitate, ha ha ha
Yo, we gonna go ghost town
This Motown, with yo sound
You're in the place
You gonna bite the dust
Can't fight with us
With yo sound, you kill the INC
So don't stop, get it, get it
Until you're cheddar header
Yo, watch the way I navigate, ha ha ha

Sailesh 's Album

Feel Good Inc. (Stripped Down Version)

Metallica - Turn The Page

Just trying out a condenser mic which came with the Focusrite interface and was lying around unused. The first song that came to mind was the beautiful Hootie & The Blowfish tune from their album Cracked Rear View. Hope you like.

Let Her Cry (Trying out a new mic with Hootie & The Blowfish)

Demo number 1 for my solo project. Looking for musicians to collaborate. If you like it, please share it.

Blackheart (Demo)

Dylan, as you know, never plays the song the same way the second, the third, the fourth...time around. And when it comes to this tune, I like more than three to four versions. I guess that's why it turned out this way - a mash-up of the Hard Rain version, his live electric rendition and a someone else's cover version.

Hope you like it anyway. And try and ignore the sloppy electric guitar playing. :D

ONE TOO MANY MORNINGS (Bob Dylan cover)

Leonard Cohen's supposed to have written this after his encounter with Janis Joplin at the Chelsea Hotel, New York.

While this is nowhere near a good cover but I hope you like it a little.

Chelsea Hotel No. 2 (Leonard Cohen Cover)

I'm yet to watch "A Star Is Born". I've been told it's one fine movie and Bradley Cooper and Lady GaGa have done an exceptional job. 

Here's me trying to cover their hit song "Shallow" from the movie. It's not easy trying to cover a duet all by yourself. I must confess that I left out some of the difficult bits. :-) 

Hope you like this version.

SHALLOW (Lady GaGa & Bradley Cooper Cover)

I heard Lukas Nelson and this song for the first time about a month ago.  I hope you like this rather clumsy version.

Oh, by the way, Lukas is Willie's son. 
The genes are strong with this one.
