It's actually quite good, which isn't surprising at all.

we did a cover of "still rock n roll to me" about 2 years back that sounded alright, but we never ended up playing it live. Billy Joel songs are amazing and i'd like to see more bands cover his music :)

Matt- I seem to remember hearing that TFT recorded their "Pressure" cover a while back? Heaviest Billy Joel interpretation I've yet heard.

Yeah, we recorded while I was still in the band. I did some vocals in the intro, and sang the bridge as well. And it's heavy.

That Vienna one- it's quite good. Too bad it's not up for download. A little sharpening up, and it would be wonderful. You've got a nice, rich voice, a lot more melodic than 9/10's of the guys in this scene. Keep it up, and message me if there is any way I can get my hands on some more of your work- I'm willing to pay.

Wow! I'm in the process of downloading them all, right now. : ) I have a feeling that your voice is going to be the only thing blaring through my headphones for a while. And okay, December, perfect timing for my birthday. If you can get that sucker on iTunes, (I have no idea how that process works, but..), you would surely get some cash from me. Starving artists need love, too.
