Cavedwellers- Firestorm
Words and Music by Escandon/Phillips

Verse1
I'm calling the firestorm by its name: it's a fabrication
The two sides have a lot to learn about coping with exaggeration
the lecture is conjecture a unilateral undermining
we’re swept up and then brought down, sense of decency is redefining

PreChorus
everybody’s weighing in
their hubris is betraying them

Chorus
Since nobody cares if you face the fire alone
You'll give your hand for a friend in a firestorm
everybody’s catching insults, but throwing stones
take my hand for a friend in a firestorm

Verse2
You choose words as carefully as a marksman would choose his rifle
And dead aim is all you need to take down all the snake’s disciples
In real life the targets move, and you're left with improvisation
the troglodytes come out tonight to feed the frenzy that’s culminating

PreChorus
Chorus

Smooth. Almost reminds me of Jordan Seavers, also a little bit of Islands in that you're squeezing an awful lot of sonic colour into the song. This is a bit of a double-edged sword as it gives lots to discover on repeated listens but sounds a touch over-egged the first few times.

F. Big Face: This is totally fine but there's nothing really in the chords or vocal melody/meter that piques my interest, possibly with the exception of the falsetto bit so in that respect it's a good job. I do like the "inflammable suit" line.

Man Glut: I like this a lot. My immediate reaction is that the groove sounds like Cake, ain't nothing wrong with that. The groove is good and I like how you've got lots of alternating guitar parts and they compliment each other without interfering or making the song sound cluttered - a bit like Yes' Owner of a Lonely Heart (it doesn't sound like that song but has a similar production approach). The song develops well. The outro saves the song from wandering too much into INXS territory.
