Feb 2022 punk-rock
It was just a matter of time before I came up with one.
2/27 I re-recorded the demo to be a 4th higher (was too low before)
Just a matter of time
before they track you down.
Just a matter of time
before they push you to the ground.
They'll crush your spirit
and flatten your tires.
They'll hoot and holler
and set the world on fire.
Don't make waves,
don't make a stink.
You are surrounded,
you're on the brink.
They got the guns,
they got the money.
They'll wear you down -
outlook isn't very sunny.
Just a matter of time
before they track you down.
Just a matter of time
before they push you to the ground.
They'll crush your spirit
and flatten your tires.
They'll hoot and holler
and set the world on fire.
Just a matter of time.
Just a matter of time.
Just a matter of time.

This is an excellent punk rock song. A great demonstration of the versatility of band in a box. Well done!

This is another hit Phil. Great energy, great playing, and of course I didn't know you were into punk. Thanks for the listen!

This is a great sound for you Phil, well done. Sort of a Jon Dee Graham feel to this one, high praise in my view!
@nadine Feb 2022
Love the energy in the instrumental. Such a contrast to the understated vocals. It works well!

I like the robotic harmony voice that drops in every once in a while. And the combination of raging guitars and your trademark understated vocals. Yes, punk, but with garage rock influences burning through. I'm energized now. It's 12:42 am, and I should be going to bed, but I'm too wired up now. Thanks Phil.

Really nice punk tune. The main hook is very catchy and to my ears, the chords and "extra" measures in the chorus add a lovely anthemic feel. The deadpan delivery and the soft singing actually make the gloomy lyrics sound even more menacing than traditional punk sneer and shout would. Love it!
@pumpkinhead Feb 2022
100% PUNK! I love it how you kept the vocals so close displaying the words just inches from my nose. Energy is solid and that solo is pure 70's for sure. Peace

Cool propulsive drive to this tune.
The lyric is Bleak but apropos in regards to certain groups of people. The music sounded kind of like a Tom Petty vibe to me.
Glad you took the time to do Just a Matter of Time!

The music, drums, guitar leads all very polished. I particularly like the harmonies.
