What Style would you say this is

[sjs]

Hi Taxi Friends!

This is my first post. i am a new member and i have been reading the forums, watching some taxi.tv and trying to soak it all in. i was wondering if some of you with more experience could let me know what style this song would best fit in.

i have received a few returns for not in the right style/genre and recording/mixing.

Thanks for your help

The link didn’t work for me, but I assume it is the Fearless track. It sounds like straight up rock to me.

Great song and great mix. I listened on my airpods.

It sounds very chaotic somehow... like the listener is thrown all over the place both melodically and rythmically. Sure that's an indie thing of course, but maybe a bit too much?

And what most people here will tell you - don't ttry to find listings for a specific song, but try to write (or adjust) a song for a specific listing in mind.

what a great forum! i love that everyone is taking the time to help each other. i appreciate the comments as i do find it hard to categorize songs. i have been a member for a few weeks now so will definitely start writing with listings in mind. i realize writing for a commercial or advertising is different then writing for your own music. listening to the songs that got forwarded i see some of the differences.

Thank you Rick, Tom and Zaychi for taking the time to respond!
