You guys have probably seen me post on here a while back, but we just recorded our first single in a professional studio. We recorded with Nick Bilotta of Holly Heist/Arcuates at Dinowax Studios in Biddeford, Maine. If you've got a second please check it out and leave me some feedback. It means the world to us.

Thanks for checking it out. We're fairly new, so we're still kind of finding our style and learning all the time, but I agree the song is really simple.

tk, I'm the lead guitarist. Thanks for giving us a listen!


sir, thanks! The studio we recorded at is actually co-run by Alex Roy of Sparks The Rescue. Not sure if you're into pop punk, but if you are definitely check them out.

Did you just compare us to The Wonder Years? If so, you have no idea how happy you've made me haha. Such an incredible band.

You sound like a cheap 90's Sitcom theme band. I feel like this song should be played for intro of Friends.

Do you even listen to your own music? It's like a shittier version of the Cranberries + mall punk. I'd ask you to kill yourself, but you're too young and there's still time to redeem yourself.

We're playing a girl's sweet 16 in Saco March 19th, but as far as public gigs go nothing planned right off. We should be back down in Portland pretty soon.

i dont understand the point in being such an asshole. thats not constructive criticism or anything they could build off. there is literally no point in writing shit like that , does it make you feel cool or something? you just sound like a dumbass

Kill myself? Wow...

If you don't like it, don't listen to it again. That simple. No need to come in here and be a dickhead about it.

Dude just because you dont like it, doesnt mean you should hate on it. Writing music and getting a solid recording takes a shit load of time. If someone is stoked on something they wrote, let them be, as a fellow song writer, it pisses me off so bad to people like you who hate just because you can.

the song wont load for me, but ill try again later. Non the less, im stoked for you because i know the feeling of getting your first tracks done

Better you know now than down the road when all these fuckwits are gone and people actually start JUDGING your music. Apparently being a dickhead is the only way you kids get it drilled into your heads.

Chick singer is a great touch. The production value is pretty good too. Harmonies, kinda different form, stuff like that is what makes it imo.

Thank you! We were pumped to finally get it out there. It's been a long time in the making. The production is fairly decent in my opinion. There are little things that I can pick out that I don't like, but for what we paid it was worth it.

How much did you end up paying for the session? Me and some buddies set up a little basement studio last summer, and for under a grand, you can get all the stuff to make a functional recording set up. Ghetto, but functional.

pretty sick song,   i was expecting more amateur sounding for some reason.
BUT
i absolutely hate the name Beyond Goodbye.   sounds way to dramatic and i honestly think you'll limit your fan base with that name.   just my opinion

Not a huge fan of the name myself either, but changing it is more of a pain in the ass than it's worth haha. With all the money in merch, and the recognition changing the name would be hard.
