The Police

Greetings Friends,

So as you all know, I am in this band called Small Town Anthem. We were thinking on how we can make our songs better, as we always do. That is the curse of being a musician is we can get so hung up on how to make things better we often put up a mental road block. Sometimes you try to drive through the road block because you don't think there is one. Then you run over a bunch of spikes that blow your tires, this spot sucks.

Well, I blew my tires. Thankfully when you blow your tires, you have to replace them. I was thinking, "Perhaps I should listen to bands with a similar sound and instrumentation." DING! DING! DING!!! Who is a band that multiple styles of music and is a three piece. Easy, THE POLICE! So I started listening to them to get some ideas. It really opened up my mind. The we watched the Stewart Copeland film, Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out. Oh yeah, talk about inspiration.

So we (Small Town Anthem) sit down to rehearse and well, I am inspired. So I try to capture an energy similar to Stewart Copeland, and BAM!!! The song improved about a million times. We are on the right path. More work to be done, but we made it through the road block. We are almost up to speed limit now.

Enjoy the video below!

Peace and Love,

Daniel Heier
