#556 MONSTER MUSIC MONDAY 04/14/2025

#556 MONSTER MUSIC MONDAY #556 MONSTER MUSIC MONDAY - The episode focuses on reviewing and providing feedback on music submissions from listeners. - Submissions are accepted via the , where artists can share their links. - Critiques various aspects of the submitted songs, including production quality, vocal performance, and song structure. - Offers constructive criticism and praise, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement in each submission. Some Advice and Tactics: Avoid Excessive Auto-Tune - Use auto-tune sparingly and only as an effect. Overuse can detract from the authenticity of the vocal performance, especially in genres like punk rock. Simplify Intros - Keep the intro of your song short and engaging. Long intros or unnecessary samples can cause listeners to lose interest before the main part of the song begins. Focus on Production Quality - Invest time and resources into ensuring high-quality production. Good production can significantly enhance the listening experience and make your music more appealing to a wider audience. Duh! Monster Music Monday Submissions: 1. BEN TROUBLES - BREAK THIS BALL AND CHAIN New submission for Music Monday. Punk Rock from North Carolina, Y'all. Enjoy! 2. OLD TOWN ZERO - GRAPEFRUIT A little side project about getting all my old and new music out. This was me at 19 years young. I'm now 46 and still making silly songs. MxPx back in the day helped me learn guitar as I was figuring out your early years songs. Something fun, not for the fame, but for the enjoyment. Finally in a place in life, putting myself out there to the world. Would love to be able to be featured on Music Monday. 3. LAST CHANCE MARIE - WESTBOROUGH Punk rock band from Bellevue, Ontario.
