One question: How many accents can you do?

All the ones I have heard you do so far are very good.
I dunno, I just do whichever ones the songs need :D All accents are imitable once you've heard them enough

Sounds like something that you would hear in Borderlands as well.
Wait so you mean that's not actually a sound file from the game? /mindblown
Nope, it's just me doing an impersonation :)
Really? Then damn that sounded spot on. If claps could be heard over the internet you'd probably hear some from me, though not many because I am currently in a library.

Well, damn, Gav. Now you do that rock-country kind of tune as well? I could easily see this playing in a pool hall, or country and western club, that kind of place. How do you find such variety?

Very enjoyable and well made. Has quite the Borderlandish feeling to it alright.

Also, i really enjoyed the feeling i got from the lyrics, or well, how they were sung. I often don`t try to listen to the words and the meaning, but just the voice and how it sings. It might sound weird, i know. Since English isn`t my first language, sometimes it takes me a bit time to understand all the lyrics in songs, so at first i just... well, listen to the feeling the voice gives. And this time, the feeling was pretty damn awesome. The lyrics were funny and nice and all, but i particularly enjoyed the way they were sung. or something along the lines. Kinda difficult to describe. But damn enjoyable nonetheless.

If I was MD of Borderlands 2 I would get this track jury rigged into the games soundtrack, pay Gav some cash then probably get something nice for dinner. If I didn't do that I would punch myself very hard in the face. Sometimes imaginary me needs to be shown who's boss. O.T Very smooth track Mr OfSound. Great work. :)

I am glad you think so. Having the extra month allowed me more time to give the lyrics proper attention, as they are always the hardest part for me and, as much as I hate to admit it, often I end up rushing them and doing something mediocre.

I put quite a bit of time into getting the rhymes, the flow and the 'sound' of the words right for this song, glad it's paying off :)

We have both kinds: space western and space country.
Great song; I too thought the Scooter impersonation was a voice file from the game.
They should have this in one of the DLC packs.

This too:
Thanks for tweeting this one out Miracle, I spent a whole night watching Dan Bull videos.

I was listening to "Fun Loving Criminals" before and it reminded me a lot of Borderlands 2. They make a sound at the beginning that sounds like the cursed Bane gun.

That needs to be part of the games soundtrack, like, right now XD.

Awesome job Gav, just awesome! I can't say anything that hasn't been said already.

The vocals here feel particularly solid. I saw that you were a bit unhappy with your voice at Expo, but here it's all pretty much flawless.

As far as criticism goes, the chorus sort of runs together with the rest of the song. The energy level stays pretty flat through the whole thing, and even though it's (I'm assuming) supposed to be more smooth and laid back, but maybe it's a little too smooth.

A-mazing! Honestly, I wasn't going to buy this game. But this song changed my mind. So reminiscent of the intro in game one. Love it all the way.

This song was swank as all hell!

Fits perfectly, not to mention just damn good.

My word if Dan and Gav did a cross over I might just play it at my funeral.

Mmmm. I liked this one, and normally I have to listen to them a few times, then they grow on me. This one = instant hit. Nice job. :)

Not only does that frighten me a bit, I'm starting to get some horrible flashbacks of my redneck parents.

For you maybe. My luck is any accent I try comes out the same garbled mess no matter how many times I hear it. -_-' (according to the boyfriend, any accent I try just eventually sounds like a really bad Ringo impersonation)

Well, time to drown my sorrows in chicken.

Have you been listening to old school zz-top and/or clutch recently? Getting that vibe.

The Scooter impression made me laugh really hard, very spot on Gav!

Great song, and the guitar twang really makes the song and captures the vibe of the game really well.

It really makes me want to play the game again.

Also, SIREN BROFIST! :D

Bravo, Gav. Bravo.

This song was an instant hit for me. I honestly thought Silver and Steel would always be my favourite... until I heard this.
