Feedback for STOMP-CLAP ROCK!

[BrentI]

Hey everyone! I'd love to get some feedback on this stomp rock track I plan on submitting soon. I haven't had success with this style in the past so all input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!



Here's the listing:

Lots of STOMP-CLAP ROCK INSTRUMENTALS are needed for SPORTS PROGRAMMING by a very hard-working Music Licensing Company with an incredibly long and impressive list of placements! They're starting a WHOLE NEW DIVISION of their Company that is focused primarily on Sports placements, and this could very well be your opportunity to get in early!

This Company is searching for a range of Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"Watch Me" by The Phantoms - https://youtu.be/ARUsyxX_ueo?si=kShK9ntj89JVyyKO

"White Flag" by Bishop Briggs - https://youtu.be/syhBqULC99I?si=4qkCX4Bkm89PU9mG

"King" by ZAYDE WØLF - https://youtu.be/xsGkXZV0xiM?si=I3h-2KDeaUFdgu0Q

Although the references have vocals, please submit INSTRUMENTALS ONLY for this opportunity.

Please submit original Stomp-Clap Rock Instrumentals loaded with unapologetic swagger, bad-ass energy, and a brazen sound and style that's full of confidence and grit all the way through! This Company is looking for tracks with an exciting, riveting, and empowered tone that could help amplify the energy and anticipation in live sports TV programming. Bold melodies, stomp-clap rhythms, attitude-filled motifs, and powerful arrangements with lots of forward development are all needed for this listing. Instrumentation and production in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references will work best (gritty guitars, stomp-clap-style drums, etc.). Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding.

All submissions should be about 1.5 to 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are strongly recommended. Do NOT copy the reference tracks in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of ANY other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Hi mate,

IMHO, it's a solid start, but it leans more toward chill than the "unapologetic swagger, badass energy, and brazen sound and style" they're asking for.

They're looking for gritty guitars, and yours come off a bit MIDI-like—lacking the raw power and excitement you'd want for sports programming. Also, the main riff repeats throughout the track, even though you added some nice mood variations.

That said, you definitely need to make it sound bigger and angrier overall.

Cheers!
Andre

Thanks for that feedback Andre! I appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Any suggestions for how to make it bigger and angrier?
