IMHO it's pretty cool. It has a really vintage feel to it, sort of a black feel too. The guitar playing is good. The keyboard playing is good. The keyboard tones stand out, nice organ, nice rhodes, whoever you got on the ivories knows what he or she's doing. The rhythm is pretty good but there's a little room for tightening. I think vocals would help to gel it all together more.

Yeah, I really like this. It's retro as fuck, in a good way. Sounds like you guys probably have some great influences.
The drums could stand to be tweaked, I dunno, maybe alter the toms.. they have a bit of a hollow rattle to them.. but the drummer is definitely good.
Very tasteful playing.. I'd like to hear more!

Very cool dude, I like its funky, good work, keep it up!!!!!!!!!
I am groving to your tunes right now, I hope that makes you FEEL GOOD man, you should cause thats some good shit.
I am going to transfer it to a tape and play it in my stereo when I am smoking cannabis , and personally I think thats the best complement I could give.
I smoke to my favorite music, and you my funky friend have done quite well.
I play guitar and bass myself by the way, so I hope you take that to heart when I say....FUCK YA that was COOL!!!!!!!!!!
I just heard the end as I typed this.
Best thing I have heard posted yet!!!!!!!! (keep in mind other artists, I have only heard a couple things, I am sure there is some great shit here)

Yes, the rhythm section does need a little tightening; our drummer just started about 6 months ago! And about the toms: I agree here too, all we have for drums right now is a $1200 Tama Swingstar (2001, i think) set, which I think sounds like crap.
Anyway, please listen to the other two things I have posted at the link above, ans tell me what you guys think.

the vocals need a little work, im not sure if its his actual voice or if it just doesnt fit the song. in any other case your guitarist and keyboardist (which im assuming is you because of your sig) is dead on. anyway, keep on doing what you do. keep us updated with any new recordings

I'm listening to "Wine" and I really like it.
Still can't get over the awesomeness of the keys. Guitar's great too. I can't really hear the bass that well cos of the wah, but it's still chill. Could use some slappage.

Yeah you can really hear a big differance in the bass from "YCHtF" and "Wine". On YCHtF, Mr. Bassist is playing a Schecter with EMG "soapbar" pick-ups(FATTT) on Chalice and Wine he has a Fender Jazz-Bass with stock pickups. I prefer the Schecter personally, but he ordered some new EMG J-Bass pickups, and that should make his bass punchier like the one you hear in YCHtF...

+1, on the second part of YCHtF (the part that starts with the organ glissando) you can hear why I love the schecter so much. I think that slap stuff he does on that part just sounds so funcking great...

awesome.
we need to start a musical revolution this is good stuff this is what we should be hearing music with integrity
the worst thing I ever heard was bands like the strokes and whitestripes were reviving rock and roll, granted it's better than britney spears and backstreet boys, it's not rock and roll.

Thanks for your input. Like I said, our drummer haas only been playing for about six months. We are being patient with him and giving him his own space to work around and improve. I agree with you about the fills and his tempo, but the drummer is one of our very good friends, and at least to us, being able to hang out and be friends with guy is very very important. We all have confidece (i think) that he will improve enough, soon enough. You should hear us live sometime, it makes a hell of a defferance.
