Timothy Lee Freeman - Jesus Is Calling
Rock, Alternative, Punk
Virginia, United States
Overall Impression: Whilst it may be somewhat rough around the edges, there are still some good ideas in here, and with a bit of further refinement and added polish this can definitely become the track it deserves to be. It's not easy recording and writing your own music so I always commend musicians who endeavor to push their creativity forward and Timothy Lee Freeman clearly has a passion for what he's doing and that's excellent.
Strongest Point(s): There are some great riffs in here and there are clearly some inspired ideas throughout, the descending melodic riff heard from 0:38 for instance has a deliciously dark quality to it that contrasts well with the more hopeful sounding riffs found later on in the track. Whilst the recording and arrangement could do with some refinement, there is definitely an ambiance to the track that gives it a certain unique quality, very much in a psychedelic vein that is quite the assault on the senses at times.
Target Audience Appeal: In its iteration, it's hard to state which audiences this will best target, but it most closely aligns with the experimental rock genre.
Artist target suggestions: Melvins, Mudvayne, Seether, Shinedown, Swans, Daughters, Stint, Sonic Youth, The Birthday Party, Shellac, Pere Ubu, Savages, Have A Nice Life, Hood
