Rocking Tune with a Great Beat
All I've Done For You starts with a catchy beat that never lets up - and that groove is what makes the track cool. The retro David Bowie vibe is a nice overlay onto this beat, and the guitars and bass are right on. Clocking in at a mere 2:32 there is nothing extra to get in the way of this track... but I might even want it to last a little longer.

Robbie Banks' is Bowie meets Costello with "All I've Done For You"
This upbeat, quirky, short and to the point song is a perfect culmination of David Bowie's vocal tone matched with the writing style of Elvis Costello. An excellent balance between modern day electronic technology and the classic, organically simplistic undertones of the classic rock medium that is the genre's very core reason for maintaining its lasting, timeless appeal.

All I've Done For You
A great rocking track. Brilliant drums and wicky wah guitars keep the off beat funky track rolling to the sweet bass ending. The lyrics are clever and delivered nicely with harmonies. The mix is a little unpolished but very creative all the same. Best of all is the last quarter where the musicianship is beautiful, funky and flowing. A great song worthy of your time to listen !

I'm putting this song on my playlist!!!
Hi Robbie. I like this song very much. You are very talented. Hard driving rock with a touch of funk. The rhythm section meshes quite nicely behind the guitar and urgency of the vocals. Reminds me of long drives on hot summer nights. The bass vamp section towards the end brings the song to a very nice crescendo and a sudden stop. I'm putting this song on my playlist!!!

All I've Done For You
Greetings Robbie, another great song from you. Two seconds into the song and I wanted to grab my board and head to the beach and crack a few waves. This is a great drive along, surfing type of song. I enjoyed the entire song, and particularly liked the drive of the bass guitar and drums, both are nicely in sync, and provide power and drive to the song. The vocals are also nice and solid, and keep things together really well. I also really enjoyed your rather ''unusual'' out-tro on the bass, very different, but cool. The only thing that I would have liked to hear was the last note of the song, on the bass, ringing on for just a tad longer, but that is ''small potatoes'' in the over-all quality of the song, which is great. Well done for another very good song. Keep up the great work.

One man band
Amazing what "one man band" can do with some inspiration. All you need is to have music in your soul, isn't it? Just do it over all along the day, at the night some is coming for you and you doesn't know at all how it cames!... I hope ear some more of your stuff briefly. All the best to you and, by the way. have a happy and nice Christmas.

Loads of Ability
Hey Robbie, I enjoyed the energy of your tune "All I've Done For You" the combination of organic instrumentation with electronic...I was wondering is this a partial piece as it is only 2:32 in length. Could be used for a commercial or spot somewhere at that length. You have loads of ability....if I may I would suggest some fine tuning on your lead vocals.... All around an enjoyable track. All the best Glenda Rae

More a sketch than a song yet
In a way a typical singer/songwriter sketch, sort of a prototype or sample. This one's definitely got a groove, even if the pattern of the drum machine could be varied a bit. Bass lines are all right. The guitars, however, sound like being recorded via a low quality direct output, and for my taste there's too much effect (flanger? phaser?) on the voice. The part in the middle seems yet a bit undefined, and I'm missing sort of a hook line that could be repeated at the end. But there's a lot of potential in the song, and it's yet short enough to allow for some additions that'll make it more catchy.

Melodic and catchy
This song was very catchy and had a great hook to it. I instantly found myself humming it right away which is a great thing. The guitar playing had a nice rhythmic feel while the voice maintained a nice edgy tone. My only complaint was that I really wanted to hear a bridge in there somewhere to take the song to a new level. I think it could give it a little more dimension. Overall I liked the song and felt that it had a lot of potential. Keep it up and keep writing!! Great job on well written song and I look forward to hearing more from you later. Rock on Robbie I know you've got what it takes to write great songs!

Nice funky groove
Nice funky summer groove, the ideal summer hit! It's a funny little song with enough vibe and melody. Good work on Guitar, bass and voices, all in all a good production, curiosly waiting for the next chart breaker. Robbie will go his own way to the top with his little summer hits... he will make his way, and we'll be here to stay and watch the upcoming star! As a singer and songwriter he will make his way!

Nice Groove
I like this groove and the feeling behind the song, the guitar rhythm moves it along well but the mix is a bit quiet. I would open up the high end a bit on the guitar, turn up the bass a tad and save the ride cymbals for the choruses and the end. The vocals are good and it couldn't hurt to double them up for more presence with a chorus effect. Sounds like a good song to rock live like at a festival. Great job!

review of 'All I've Done For You'
another poppy and catchy track from Robbie. This time effectively utilising a few nice vocal tricks and effects. I like the multi-layer vocals. A simple chord progression though but none the less, effective. It's an upbeat and happy little tune. I would love to have heard some horns in there for a solo break somewhere, it would have fitted in really well or maybe a guitar riff to break up the chords a little. Good one though.

Robbie, I am really having fun with your song. I feel like I am hearing some Spoon and some Chili Peppers. Love the lead guitar tone. The rhythms are tight. Good production values. Work on your vocal runs. You could elevate this track further. Good Job!
