abzde: “So Johnny Mare isn’t a brony? Is Mare his real name or just his stage name? In either case that’s a funny coincidence.
Also Faux Synder has such a beautiful voice it goes so well with this song. Love this one freewave!”
Thanks! Yep he isn’t a brony and when Morte and I were shopping the idea of getting this project and looking for a Smiths cover musician involved (there’s a lot of them) his name was the one who really popped out due to the irony. He was also well acquainted with their catalog, did great covers, and already had a sizeable following. What was even better was he agreed to take part knowing the theme and we moved from the idea of singing over his ytube covers to him making new recordings and stems for 10 of the songs to make them even better. I’m serious if he hadn’t done a lot of the groundwork at the onset this project wouldn’t have gotten started to also making a lot of the instrumentals for other songs. We’ve actually got about 25+ wips currently and 20+ more possible songs to do if we want to take it that far.
