the demos/music

Western Democracy delivers Hard – Solid Sound – Guitar based Music for a Beating Heart and Seeking Eye. Progressive Blues Rock with Depth and Soul. It is STRONGLY recommended that you use QUALITY headphones or HI-FI speakers to listen to the tracks. Your mobile devices speakers will NOT support nor supply the full dynamic and high energy levels of sound the guys record.

NEW Release! DELTA – a Five Track EP. Taking its driving force from a slow heavy blues groove and.. having a trip. The five tracks are an opportunity to offer music, (out takes) that normally wouldn’t be given a public airing – but the slow pulse and formidable direction of music is worth exploring at leisure.

Track info: 

DELTA – part one. This is the complete and final mix. The backing riff evolved from a part added to an early version and proved inspirational. The finished track went with it to produce a slow blues groove.

DELTA – part three. There is no part two. Three is the second version. This outlines the main original heavier style, based around a two part riff following the drum tracks.

Tracks 3 / 4 / 5 are where the development and the mood of the piece were heading. It was a surprise to strip it back and make a less busy but still varied piece that more represented the original idea of a slow blues on a heavy driving drum backing. And we still didn’t really catch that.
