Hi Elvis!

 

      As a featured contributor to No Depression, I’m particularly keen on getting your feedback for the following – Please forgive the intrusion if you don’t have the time or inclination to reply.

 

      I’ve posted the following to the No Depression discussion board – you can either respond there or alternatively drop me a line at shatchsurvey1@yahoo.co.uk

 

Thanks very much for your time

Kind regards,

My name is Steve Hatch and I’m currently conducting research for my Master’s in Songwriting at Bath Spa University in Bath, England (though I happen to be an ex-pat Georgia boy).  I would be extremely grateful if you could find the time to listen to the track (link below) and answer the 2 accompanying questions.  The more detail, the better of course (more to say in my final analysis) – but all feedback will be useful and very much appreciated.

 

Sadly, as this is an academic pursuit, there is a deadline.  Please reply by May 20^th if at all possible so that I can have time to chew over your response and include it in my final write-up.

 

            The track: http://soundcloud.com/stevehatch

 

1)     Which artist/band(s) would you say the track is most similar to and why?

 

2)     Which genre(s) would you say the track belongs to and why?

Great pics of JTE from the Deaf Institute last night-great gig don't ya think!

Hey Elvis
I'm in awe and extremely jealous of your gallery ... so many cracking photos and so many of my heroes. Keep up the brilliant work!
Cheers
Robin

Hi Elvis,

Just dropping in to say hi and to ket you know about Kirsten DeHaan's new record "Thorns On A Crown." It's out now so please take a listen and check it out here: http://www.itunes.com/kirstendehaan/thornsonacrown

The eagerly anticipated digital release of Kirsten DeHaan’s EP “Thorns On A Crown” is right around the corner. On Tuesday October 6, the new and highly acclaimed alternative rock singer and songwriter’s songs can be purchased at major online retailers such as iTunes, Amazon.com, Napster, and EMusic. Kirsten has developed quite a following in a relatively short period of time, because of the uniqueness of her voice and style, which has been compared to the sweetness of Liz Phair, a soft, airy quality like that of Sia, and the rich alto of Fiona Apple.

In the meantime, register and download her single "1984" for free at HYPERLINK "http://kdlocal.com" http://kdlocal.com

Hey Elvis! Went to your myspace page and listened to Watch That Dog. It gained INSTANT CLASSIC status with me. We sing it to our cat now (Watch That Cat) whenever he's on the porch roughing up an ant. Great stuff, keep it up!

Thanks for the comments on the review, Elvis. I really enjoy Carrie and think she is really growing as a headline performer. You might want to check out the guys from Romantica, too, if you haven't already.
