what would you call this style? - Joseph Axiak - 14-06-2014
Hi All, I just released this song with my band. We've always struggled with pin-pointing the style/genre we play. What are your thoughts?

I'll leave the categorization to others. Like your stuff enough to post 2 others you've done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le2jPoHDG3g and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufvn0Q-JHSQ << y'all have the tools and the ideas--A disinterested 3rd party working with you to help shape and fine-tune a bit maybe? One that "gets" you and doesn't want to impose their ideas/arrangements, but draw it out of you.

Hey Joseph! Are you the guitarist for Relikc ? You dudes rock!!!! I enjoyed the clips and I would categorise the music as ROCK !!!!

Well, just as David Grisman called his amalgm "Dawg Music" and then there's the New Grass Revival with that master eclecticist Leon Russel with'm, even broad categories can constrain. Why is that manic flutist's music called Rock instead of elecrtrified folk? Now this aggregation isn't near what I've mentioned but the point is clear--hold to your dreams, find your muse, be strong and let fly--if it's good enough, it'll find an audience. If you need to force your own hand, quit your day job.
