The Hits just keep on coming!

Well, it's actually been a couple of months since the last one, but I'm pleased to say this track got picked up by a Canadian media production house - based in TO, they specialise in ads for the auto industry.

Originally written for a brief listed on TAXI nearly 3 years ago, this was probably my very first attempt at more commercially biased material. It was rejected at the time, but I always had a soft spot for it. The brief called for something in the vain of Nickelback, Creed, Foo Fighters for a sports show. Never having been great at copycatting, it was quite a challenge and I don't think my tune owes that much to the aforementioned bands. Anyway, after a few revisions, it started me on a journey that still pays the occasional dividend, and is testament to the durability of good quality music: if it doesn't fit in the first time around, it may still fit somewhere down the road.
