Impressive. Reminds me of Big Brother & the Holding Company. Sounds live, but I'm guessing that's by careful design.
One suggestion: bring up the bass.

I like this, and it definitely has a retro vibe. No major nits with the mix from me. Welcome to the forum.

Yes really retro its like a recording of Alamo - there is no bottom here Up with it. The guitars and singing is good though.

Thank you guys , i will bring the bass up. Its really hard to know what needs to be done when its your music that being mixed.. I totally understand now why bands have a producer thats not in the band to help them out. I was thinking about bringing the drums up a little also

Not at all what I was expecting with the title. :) But good job. The lyrics were a little hard to hear in some places.

Rockin' out for sure.. I too thought the guitar competed a little over the vocals. Good playing, singing. Maybe a little EQ cut on the high end would warm it a bit.
And yes, welcome!

Very cool. I like this. I could not make out the vocals at all, but frankly, who cares? They are an "instrument", not information source in this and that is wild. Bottom end is definitely in need of a tweak or two, but be careful not to over do it, as you risk losing the nice and gritty sound you have going on. Awesome.

Definitely found that low fi vibe, for sure. I'd probably want to pull the vox over to the middle as the image is currently very left heavy.

Hey Keeler GREAT tune! The vocals are killer on this and the vibe reminds me a bit of Jefferson Airplane. Mix sounds good on my end but as the others say the low end could step up a bit. I also like the fact that this recording doesn't sound as clean/digital giving it that warm analog/60's feel. Looking forward to hearing more. KUDOS! Kev
