Mixcraft corrupted my file so this wee unmixed demo is all that remains of what I was working on. Can't be arsed re-doing so here ya go!

Bobby (Alex G Cover - Demo)

Obsessed with the Get Back film, I went and started learning some Beatles tunes. Always loved the harmonies on this so here we go.
Simple vocals and acoustic - that's it.

Nowhere Man (The Beatles Cover)

A cover of "Indifference" from Pearl Jam's second album Vs.  Track was recorded through Mixcraft6 Home Studio, using a Boss Me-25 for guitar and bass tracks and Behringer microphone for vocals. 
All sounds created are created originally through instruments bar the rain effect at the beginning & end and the sample sound of tambourine used through a midi keyboard.

A vocal and guitar cover of Out Of Time from Blur's 2003 album "Think Tank". All instruments and vocals recorded live by myself. Autotune never used, so excuse the odd bum note please!

Out of Time (Blur Cover)

A full cover of Arcade Fire's "Ready To Start" styled slightly down-tempo. All instruments - acoustic guitar, bass, electric guitar - and vocals by me. As always, no auto-tune so probably a few bum notes. Couple of additional backing vocals in there after the initial - guitar and vocal starting track as well!

Ready To Start (Arcade Fire Cover)

Demo of a future potential cover. Parts (vocals, backing vocals, guitar and vocal and guitar track) recorded on a really shit laptop mic.

Poison (Rocketjuice & The Moon Cover)

Chris Cornell's death really made me re-think about all the legends of grunge/rock we've had who are now gone - reminding me of Layne Staley of Alice In Chains and his tragic struggles. While this track is originally by Alice In Chains, it's really in tribute to the late great Chris Cornell and the Seattle music scene. Long may your music live on.

Acoustic and vocal tracks recorded together and the electric guitar, bass and piano were done as overlays.

Nutshell (Alice In Chains Cover)

A cover of John Frusciante's "The Past Recedes" from his 2005 album Curtains. Vocal, guitar and bass cover. No autotune as ever. Recorded using Boss ME-25 for guitar solo and bass and shitey laptop mic for acoustic guitar and vocals. Processed through Mixcraft 7.

The Past Recedes (John Frusciante Cover)

Decided to do a cover of a new track I really like - John Murry's "Wrong Man" from his great album A Short History Of Decay. Notes/lyrics maybe not 100% accurate as transcribed from ear.
