    No top 40s band we aren't. The original. The bleeding. The pain beyond. To find that one song, that will make us all cry, laugh and seethe at the same time. It's worth it all when your friends know your lyrics better than you do, and use them as a manuscript for life.

    I really enjoyed the playing and vocals on "Let"... thanks for the link to the site.. keep it up.. singapore rocks...

    I been listening to "Let" over and over since I found the link early today.. I truelly have to say it has the best vocals and music I have heard here... I have always favored a ballad type over hard metal type songs.. I don't know if that is you singing.. but when Shelftalker makes it big and tour in America I will be buying a ticket... now please tell me thats not a cover song ? lol

    f1point7, are these your band's original compositions? They are terrific songs. I think your songs are ahead of your ability to record at the moment. They are going to be killer once your recording production is cleaned up.

    Wow... I REALLY REALLY like "Let" - has a little R.E.M. type of vibe to it. Sweet man!

    Rob!
    Man, I am delighted you put this link up! You guys are absolutely great composers, singers, songwriters, and musicians! I work away from home all week, but have 4 days off now, and will be listening to this much more ("Let"), what a great tune. I would rather put this tune on than 90 percent of what I hear on radio most days.
