Hey John and fellow musician friends!

Our latest EP was released in August, but I am definitely curious which song(s) people like best in regard to what you think would be the most appealing to people for free track downloads, or what song(s) would seem most appealing if people run across them on the web.

^ Link to our EPK. No sign up or downloading needed, just some streaming players.

The first player only has clips of songs from the last album. Though these aren't good quality, you can let me know content thoughts.

The second player is our latest EP in full. These are the songs I am working on promoting right now.

Thank you all so much for your time and thoughts!

- Cary (Norman)

Hi Cary,

For my ears, Oceania and Devil By Design are pretty strong.

On a side note, maybe it's my dirty mind, but the group shot of the band gives an interesting optical illusion.  I had to double take, to make sure I wasn't seeing what i thought I was seeing.  Ha!

Steve Rodgers!

Thanks! LOL, it's funny you mention that picture "illusion" because I actually crop that image everywhere its used for that very reason. Looks like I forgot this one!

Thank you for the feedback! Definitely appreciate your time!

Hey Cary,

For some reason the audio players are not working for me. I've tried it on Firefox and Chrome, both yesterday and today with no luck. Sounds like it may be something on my end because Steve can hear it. You get any other reports of this?

Hey John,

I have not gotten any reports of this before. I just checked them and they work for me. I use firefox. That's really odd.

Hey Cary,

It's sort of working now. Very slowly loading and I am having trouble with some of the tracks, but I can hear some of them. I think it's an internet issue on my end, more than something on yours.

The tracks I listened to on the first album had some mix issues for me. I felt the vocals were way to quite for my taste. But I know you mentioned there were some issues with those tracks. I thought the mixes were infinitely better on the second album. But i was having way to many issues with listening to the tracks to give you much valuable feedback. I spent about 15 minutes today trying to listen but all I could get were 3 second spurts before it would cut out. Sorry I can't be more help here. If you really need some feedback and have it narrowed down to just tracks maybe email them to john@www.mmmanifesto.com.

Cheers.

Hey Cary,

Finally got these downloaded and gave everything a listen. 

Just speaking from a place of personal enjoyment, as apposed to radio single, my favorites are "The Leaving" and "Victory".

There were some others that possibly had stronger musical starts, but once the vocals kicked in I didn't get as much of a payoff as i did for those two.

Just one guys opinion. Hope that helps.
