Title
Super-Powers
So, "Thor" just opened this past weekend, and I realized that there are a whopping NINE COMIC BOOK-BASED MOVIES this year. Amazing. [That list, if you're curious, is Green Hornet, Thor, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, Priest, X-Men: First Class, Green Lantern, Captain America: The First Avenger, Cowboys and Aliens and Conan.]
Since the world has such an obsession with comics and superheroes, I figured I'd explore that in song, with some cool power ideas provided by friends and fans Bob Rose, Cassie Alt, Robin Wiestcher, Mike Smith, Kiki Canon and David Dave.
This track is from the forthcoming "Songs for Superheroes" EP, due out...eventually.
[Oh, and "Grand Theft Audio" is still available for pre-order too via the Kickstarter page, until May 15th!]

Ian - This is good stuff, and the style really suits you. Nice work, dammit!

Quite awesome, dude. Nicely done.

That was IAN-CREDIBLE! Actually, it was SUPER-CATCHY and KICK-ASS... one of those words is a SUPER HERO, the other is a compliment. GREAT WORK!

I thought this was a good song overall. I think you did the first verse a touch too fast, otherwise it was very good.

Super rockin song!

The energy and speed were just what I needed on a Friday where I was feeling soul-sucked by the whole f'ing week. I pictured a thrash metal mosh pit with lots of punching and some hairline fractures. If I would change anything, I would add a skull-cracking sledgehammer lead guitar break.

Is Steve Goodie the one who wants the power to encase your enemies in a giant booger? Good idea, good lyrics & good to head-bang to

Already liked this the first time I heard it, but I'm relistening on the FuMPcast right now-- just noticed we both dissed Aquaman in recent songs. Aquaman sucks.

I'm an Aquaman. In an aqua land.

Made of plastic. It's fantastic.

And then I googled what Jace was saying. And then I threw up.

This is great, guys! I really love the instrumentation (especially the tone of the guitar in the chorus).
