Your band is pretty good, but you might want to listen to some old stuff like WE do. You might find that having classic new wave rock in your arsenal will sort of make you more modern in a way. Just a tip, your pal, Mr. Rock&Roll

Sometimes there are so many hooks in your songs, my little head collapses under the sheer beautiful weight of the blessed message.
