  • Haha, AAL and Misery signals influence?

  • sooo good! haha i noticed the sock too :P damping for sweeps?

  • @Karnivool09 naw i'm not using the sock in this, it's behind the nut, I use it to mute the strings when i play CAFO by AAL

  • @IcarusLivesRI That's a sock.

  • @IcarusLivesRI its a sock keeps ringing and imperfections out of a sweep!

  • what is your setup, like amp/effect wise.

  • @nmetylerr just clean through the line 6, and use a couple boss pedals for distortions, eq, delay, etc..

  • @JoshKikta When is it going to be out man? I want to hear this shit!

  • You play like tosin abasi!:O

  • 0:49 Luke Holland & Josh Kikta Go To The Store?

  • wow this is fantastic. definitely reminds me of AAL. so good :). I really wanna do a bass cover of this :P, unless you dont have the bass part, then i wanna make the bass part! lol jk that'd take so much time! :). keep it up man you're sick as fuck!!

  • How about: "Speaking Volumes", which this song does. You should have a song-naming contest.

  • I like it, and song name? How about - The Sideline That Broke the Ocean

  • lol your guitar looks like a plastic toy, but it sounds cool so yeah hahaha

  • I didn't much like the breakdown but everything else before and after that is just gorgeous. You and Luke need to start a band together and make music like this, it would be a breath of fresh air if you guys did.

  • I would love to see you and josh play this together. that would be sick! sounds great man i look forward to hearing more!

  • Songs name? how about "God's Vagina"

  • Wow, you guys really should get this up on iTunes or anything! So awesome :D

  • i want tabs i really wanna play this for like a talent show or somethin. ya know

  • Flat out amazing bro!!! I love your tone!

  • reminds me exactly of the contortionist

  • never seen anyone combine fast shredding with such melodic backgrounds in the solo. This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for, for so long!

  • slick man! 

  • nice song!!!! very good :D

  • amazing man!

  • mind fucked.

  • sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick!

  • This is AMAZING. If I could be in a band with you I would in a heartbeat.

  • please put the guitar pro tabs out on ultimate-guitar, this stuff is sick:O

  • @Darkenau I need a name for the song first... haha

  • @JoshKikta i thought the name of the song was TheLander? haha

  • @s1lv3rst3inisemo Thelander is my Mom's maiden name lololol

  • @JoshKikta ohhh:] well its already up there, name it TheLander!:D i thought it was a sick name before you told me its your moms maiden name and it still is! haha delete that comment and no one will ever know=D

  • I don't have guitar pro 6 unfortunately, but it seems like you and luke are gonna release a masterpiece so im willing to wait!

  • so fucking sick!

    

  • really-really good! )

  • holy shit

  • this sounds absolutely sick, if i had to make one criticism it would be in the first half of the bridge before you add the distortion. This is the only part that's lacking, everything else sounds amazing.

  • That was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • Need more of this i really enjoyed this great job.

  • i LOVE the dean. i've got a razorback and i fuckin love it. this is really great dude. and is that a line 6 you're playing on?

  • Is that a sock around the nut? LOL.

  • Your sweeps are motherfucking clean. Huge props

  • it just occurred to me that there's no bass in this song...

  • @ptwolf1 haha there will be bass phillip don't worry

  • please tell me you and luke have something in the works... you guys starting a metal band would probably be fucking huge

  • @LukeHollandDrums why not? haha might as well give people a taste!

  • reminds me of animals as leaders but more my style i love it!

  • i would very much like to have this song to jam to, is there anyway i could get a hold of it?

  • @BabyBonzaiProduction If you have guitar pro 6 I could send you that version, otherwise just wait until I record and release it(:

  • ies loves yous joshesss
