So I recorded a few songs recently with a friend of mine, and thought I'd share the one with the, well, audience-relevant influence:

"Girl, Keep An Open Mind":
http://hellerhenderson.bandcamp.com/track/girl-keep-an-open-mind

All parts/writing done by the two of us (me on the rhythm instruments, him on guitar, shared vocals). It spreads the sixties sauce pretty thick (probably too much), but it was a lot of fun to make, and I've always wanted to get a song like that out of my system.

Enjoy!

Wow! I've been away from this section of SS too long

Really love it - fantastic vocals, also, really love the bass!

Also, that guitar part at 2:40 is amazing!

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

I like this song Austin, nice "middle period" Beach Boys sound.  I didn't look to see if you have other songs posted but if you do I will give them a listen.

Great stuff! Do you have many more songs like that to get out of your system?  Grin

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Thanks, guys. The other three songs on that EP aren't as Beach Boys-y, but there are some spots of me doing my best BW falsetto, for whatever that's worth. In general, "Girl" is the strongest, but I think we left a nice stamp on our cover of "She's Leaving Home" as well (you can find it on the Bandcamp page).

I like this little section of the board. Perhaps I'll chime in more often!
