punk rock recorded with ONLY a Fender Mustang I Amp

So I've been writing music with a pal to sound like weirdo 80s hardcore and similar odd stuff. We've been recording our ideas with the Fender Mustang amp and it's been incredibly easy. This new song sounds less 80s but check it out.

I used the Bassman setting for EVERYTHING.

The drums are recorded first into Audacity with only 1 mic pointing generally at the snare,high hat,high tom.
Guitar is recorded the same, direct into the amp on the bassman setting.
Bass is done the same.

I've gotta say, it's pretty crazy how "good" it sounds.

Sounds excellent, there's a real Dead Kennedys vibe.

I dunno about you guys but I cannot NOT imagine David Yow vocals to this.

Very nicely done, Brandon!

thanks you guys!
I hear yow too. We wrote a bunch of fast songs and wanted to slow it down and this just came out. I'm not gonna lie, I love Jesus Lizard.

DKs are one of my favourites too.
