Compelling rock instrumentals are no easy thing to pull off but done in such fine style here!

super fun instrumental, fun hip hop scratching, nice rumbling bass and energetic edgy guitars!

Awesome dueling guitar action with soaring solo’s and held tightly together by that big phat beat. A super groovy track with tons of great melodies and the turntable samples provides a really nice touch to it all !! I DIG IT.

great inspiration! reminds me some stuff from Alex Lifeson

Love this melding of styles and sounds...amazing guitar and bass work!  Where do I send my Postal Order to join The Welcome Parade's official fan club?

If U Die

Lyrics:
You speak of love as if you know.
And touched by gods as you go.
The pain of hands as they land.
Inflicted by your lovers hand.

Fuck the one who loves to hurt you.
And fuck you cause you care.
And fuck me cause I'm stupid.
Cause I'm the one who is still here.

Fuck the one who loves to hurt you.
And fuck you cause you care.
And fuck me cause I'm stupid.
Cause I'm the one who is still here.


You tell stories so hard to believe.
Depths of pain with no relief.
The sacred things you must endure.
To keep yourself in line and pure.

Fuck the one who loves to fuck you.
And fuck you cause you care.
And fuck me cause I'm stupid.
Cause I'm the one who is still here.

Fuck the one who loves to hurt you.
Fuck you cause you care.
And fuck me cause I'm stupid.
Cause I'm the one that is still here.

Notes:  A lot of funny stories with the evolution of this piece of music.

Notes: 
This track starts out on Skype with the three of us sharing a drink and Jay pulling up his guitar and sharing his idea for a bass line.  I proceed to work on it and next call I send him a couple of revisions.  

Jay says "no, I mean like this"...my response was did you just Dave Grohl me? You could see the look of horror in his eyes as he begins processing what was said... I busted out laughing as I knew what he meant...but couldn't resist the opportunity to for a little mischief.  

We started this out trying to capture a bit of a NIN'ish type of vibe with the bass being the central focus driving the track.  We all jumped around to new positions on this one...and pushed boundaries.  

I think that is the musical binding that ties The Welcome Parade together.  It is that no one says I am this and only this.  

I hope when you listen to this you can feel that friendship and inclusiveness.  The subject matter on this track is dark and perhaps difficult to see the unity behind the scenes.  At least in part that is always why I put in some notes. 

Peace and love brothers and sisters!

Happy New Year from The Welcome Parade!!

We hope 2022 will be the start of something quite exceptional for everyone.  I think we are all due a bit of a respite from the current state of affairs! 

Lyrics:
I'm moving slow and steady
wind your watch here comes the ready
looking so unsteady
I think you had enough already

Time is slowly finding time to leave you without time
now you've seen the time you've taken was you're own decline

1234

I'm moving slow and steady
wind your watch here comes the ready
looking so unsteady
I think you had enough already

The Ready - This piece starts with our usual Skype call and some drinks, after a few rounds and a lack of focus that requires another call. The next call we dedicate to getting the music business accomplished before we drift off topic. First on the list to complete is "The Ready" a heavy piece that has a unique frenzy to it.  

Edges with a bit of fury and finesse,  Jay's tense vocal work pushes this beautifully in the punk direction.  Perhaps something you might encounter in a Tarantino movie...preferably one with Selma Hayek in it! Thom with his top shelf fret board dancing, creates a complex texture that keeps you on the edge of your seat.  Finally Jeff keeping the piece grounded with some pounding bass work! 

On a final note...this track gets me off the hook for a request made to me by Jay's bride!  To have Jay perform something as an Englishman!  Huzzah and mission accomplished! 

Not Today - See "Not Today"

I hope one day the world looks at us and says...we got to get these guys together!  If not I am just very happy to have a couple of friends with a musical connection that exists as something so natural, it is difficult to keep the components separate, to realize where one ends and another begins. 

You guys rock and I am so glad to have you as friends and musical companions...rock on mi amigos!

Happy New Year from The Welcome Parade!!

Lyrics:
I can feel the fire living in the rain
Pay witness to the pleasure hiding in the pain

To hear the craziness of those that you deem sane
A circle left unbroken we'll travel once again

If not today, maybe tomorrow… 
If not for joy, maybe for sorrow…
If not to lead then maybe to follow…
If not to steal then maybe to borrow…

To feel as broken, as I seem to be
All surrendered out my friend, embracing my defeat

The mirror changes nothing except the point view
A gap, a hole,  a thing that takes my place,  takes my place with you

If not today, maybe tomorrow… 
If not for joy, maybe for sorrow…
If not to lead then maybe to follow…
If not to steal then maybe to borrow…

If not for joy, maybe for sorrow…

Not Today - This ones development followed a different path than what normally happens in our band.  As usual it starts on Skype...ends up discarded to the "we will get to that later" pile.  The melody however simply refuses to leave my(Jeff's) head.  I string together a rough rhythm guitar track and send it off to the crew and say in the email....this is what this is about for me and I am compelled to finish this. 

Thom sends back a written chorus....and what a chorus it is.  I do a quick performance and once I can hear the thoughts in real time... the verses slide right out of my head on to paper.   Jay moves to the Rhythm guitar, Jeff to lead vocal and bass,  Thom on the lead and aux & rhythm guitar work.

Normally in development the drums and bass get locked in first so everyone can grab on to the vibe once its all figured out.  In this case...the bass was the last instrument to be figured out.  It was a wonderful opportunity to play off my band mates with the bass.  There are times where I rotated to the speakers and imagine my friends in studio/stage across from me as I start digging deeper on the bass.  Something I don't always get to enjoy but something so seductive to feel! 

I hope one day the world looks at us and says...we got to get these guys together!  If not I am just very happy to have a couple of friends with a musical connection that exists as something so natural, it is difficult to keep the components separate, to realize where one ends and another begins. 

You guys rock and I am so glad to have you as friends and musical companions...rock on mi amigos!

No One Ever Says - Thom's Retort

Lyrics:

One hundred arms
One hundred eyes
Ugly in the eyes of god
Undeserving of the light
I wander in the night
Searching for things to devour

I stray from the eyes of god
I stray from the eyes of god
I spit in the eye of god
I wish for death (I wish for death)
I wish for death (I wish for death)
A wishful death
A wonder in the eyes of god

The hammer of the gods
Smashing on my bones
Skin bursting from the inside
No father and no mother
Born to be negated
Born just to wish to die

I stray from the eyes of god
I stray from the eyes of god
I spit in the eye of god
I wish for death (I wish for death)
I wish for death (I wish for death)
A wishful death
A wonder in the eyes of god

You killed the traitor but betrayed yourself
You killed the traitor but betrayed yourself
You killed the traitor but betrayed yourself
You killed the traitor now mourn yourself

--

What better than a little death metal ditty to brighten the spirits :-)

I know, I know, I should probably leave this to people who are good at the genre. But I kinda like the song, and enjoyed putting it together.

Rhythm section composed in Caustic + guitar + voice.
