Man...how do you sing like that without killing your voice! nice screams!

If you are targeting this song for a specific listing, it would help to see the listing.
The listing could be a "looking for a band" listing or a song listing. Sometimes they list other bands that they would like the entries to sound like.

Hi UB!

Love this track! You might consider linking this a bit different for Peer To Peer as your player didn't give me a minutes/seconds thing so I could reference my comments in a more meaningful way. As an example, I could say at 1:10 this or that happened and I would change blah, blah, blah... Just a thought for the future.

Overall, I like everything about this and I think all of the performances are there! Having said that, nothing sparkles to me or has presence. Most notably, the drums, they sound dead and I can't hear a kick. One of the guitars is brighter and I like that but the other guitar could use some EQ as could the bass, mainly just to define them better in the mix. I would back both guitars down just a bit in the mix, not much and bring up the vocal a hair, brighter on that vocal also. Think definition and ask youself if you can "easily" hear everything. Having to "struggle" to hear anything could be where the door closes for you.

There seems to be a million bands out there that are doing this sort of track. Competition could be stiff. You've got great guts but you need to do critical, critical listening to push this over the top. You can do it!

Good Luck!

I love this sort of music, I have just gotten out of a rock band (even though my music is piano based on here).

First thing I have a pet hate when the guitarist overpowers the singer, I wouldl ike to here the track again with the vocals louder. The singer sounds very cool though just drowned out.

on the verse I can;t hear a word although I'm pretty usre the singer is good.
