Hey Kevin! Pretty cool you got the myspace link "infinite", but it doesn't seem like you use that name, lol.

Pretty good music! You probably need to up your production quality a little bit if you want any success on Taxi. You certainly have some great song ideas, though. You have a nice voice that succeeds well the slower, acoustic songs.

I could label this as alternative rock, acoustic rock. Sort of like Gin Blossoms, Five for Fighting, Foo Fighters, Plain White T's.

Hope this helps!

Kevin,

I'll agree with Jeff.....voice is unique in a alternative acoustic rock genre.....production aspects need a little more work .......keep at it...

Regards,
Dick

I listened to the song "too late".

Think that sounded pretty clean to me. Don't know about the other tracks though.
This one could be forwarded to the right listing, maybe some artist listing.

The melody and chord progression sounded really good!

Thanks to all thus far...I honestly am not certain how to make the tracks sound better. I do the recording myself and just purchased a FMR RNP to compliment my V69 tube mic (with mullard tube upgrade) so I'm hoping that helps some. But it comes down to my lack of know-how in mixing so I just record things and use presets in Waves to EQ and compress then don't "master." But the track "Seven Roses" was done in a professional studio and the quality is still not at what I consider broadcast level so I dunno. I'll keep playing with it. I've just decided to pursue a music career since I am in graduate school but all I think about is how to make my songs better and get shows and recording so its all still a bit new to me. Once again, thank you to everyone who has and will reply!

Cheers
Kevin Andrew Crafton
