Smoke
From its stark drum led beginnings this really brews into a really strong song. I liked the message in the lyrics and the changes in rhythms on the guitar. As the title of the song suggests by the end there was SMOKE !! Excellent stuff guys

You'll burn by their thunder...
Smoke is filling the room, but vanishes slowly with every beat of the drums and shows clearly the powerful production of STAGE 11's "Smoke", which is a very emotional rocking tune. Very professional work and performance. I like the drum sound and the voice, The arrangement is dragging one to the climax, when smoke turns into fire and there's no help, you'll burn by their thunder. And the thunder burns the charts to leave only one spot... at the top!

Crackerish
Very reminiscent of Cracker and the song Low. I like the general flow of the the song. I’d like to feel a little more emotion from the singer and a little more soul from the band overall. Good song in my opinion, sounds a little like the band Live as well. A few tweaks and maybe a producer and this song could do things for you.

Hearing this band for the first time!
Hearing this band for the very first time and I have to say I really dig!! The raw mixed with the melodic along with the low bass blasting through my speakers is quite an adrenaline rush! This here is the type of music that everybody should be listening to and buying. if this band doesn't have an FM hit already I'll be surprised. The drums and the vocals really cut through, especially the snare! Can't wait to hear more by these guys. They should be on the ipods of every teenager!

Smoke review
This song Sounds good for my 90's ears, looks like Soundgarden, Nirvana and so on. I'm curious about the band's name: perhaps is the stage's number in a festival or music venue? I don't know it, but I think you are good musician in your genre. Good luck.

Smoke by Stage 11
Another great track from LA's Stage 11 the title of the track being unfortunately topical with all of the fires burning around LA and all the way up the West Coast at the moment. A great vocal performance again and I particularly enjoyed the space left within the track. Sometimes it is what you leave out that is important as what you put in. The drumming really drives this track and has some great off beat rhythm breaks. The song build up to a rousing crescendo and at 4.03 is the perfect length. Well produced with some nice effects on the vocal sound. Check out this band.

Great build and story
The vocals are passionate with great harmonies. The song builds to that ending hitting beautiful notes with such power. Interesting lyrics that aren't common. A definite hit as always Stage 11. Once again you amaze me.

Smoke...good song
Overall this is a cool song. its got great production qualities and its well played. I do like the way the song starts with the slow build up is a nice touch. You guys know how I feel about Diego. He has good pitch and sings in key and I find that parts of the song are well sung but the chorus is a little weak for my tastes but overall I like this song better than most of your other tunes. You're a good band with an interesting sound that I could see playing for a packed club with the crowd having alot of fun!

Just enough fire
The song was pretty good. The fills on the left speaker under the verses didn't fit quite as well as the other guitar. They worked together much better in the middle section (I guess, end of the second third?) where you released all the tension built up in the first half. The drums are pretty good, too. The fills and rolling toms really went well with the feel of the song, especially during the outro. The vocals were well executed, though in places, where maybe it felt like emotion could have taken over, it was more restrained by technique. The backing vocals were clean and at the just-right mixing levels that they could be heard and appreciated, but never stood too far our. I liked this.
