So I listened to it. Maybe I just can't get into punk, or maybe I just don't understand it (if there's anything to understand) but here's my thoughts on it... The singer's voice is ordinary and flat. I felt like I could have gone down to the local high school and asked anyone to sing those lyrics and they would have came out with the same quality. The drums were for some reason the loudest part of the band. You had to almost find the guitar behind them to even know the guitar was there sometimes. The vocalist needs to be more prominent, and the drums need to be toned down. The lyrics were well written, but for a single it wasn't the most catchiest of stuff. They also tackled the usual topics (ie. no one understand me, I want to die, I'm alone in this world, etc) which made me a disinterested.
Ya, that was harsh, but if you're serious about getting into the music industry then I'm sure you don't mind the criticsm (and I'm trying to be constructive with it). Good luck though with your band.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
