I like this tune a lot. The vocal reminded me of Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, whom I admire very much. My only nit is that the overall volume level of the song is low. This could easily be fixed in the mastering stage, and you would have a gem on your hands. Well done, and good songwriting.

Wow, what an interesting tune and performance. I can't and don't really feel the need to nail down a genre. It's just really good music. I don't think I've heard any of your music before this. I'll be looking for you. I like this song and performance.

The new track is coming along nicely. Still a bit early to share, but I think people will dig it when it is ready.

I think the problems start before the mastering stage. It sounds to me like the bottom end is using up overhead. There are some low boomy tones that do not need to be there. The vox and lead guitar are too low in comparison to the rest of the mix. Great song though. Get the levels right and you will have a winner.

+1 what fox said. One of the two guitars in the center is pushed so far back that it loses a lot of power. Vocals are also a little too low, IMO.
The stereo chorused guitar needs to be a bit wider and thinner.
I'd say, tighten the low end, get rid of some "mud", then adjust your levels. I think you'll find the song "pops" much better after that.
Nice tune, by the way!
Regards,
Dan

HighestOlive, Well, the vocals really need to be up front, any time you have vocals in a song. The center guitar needs to come up and panned a bit out of the center. Not to bad a start but needs a bit of tweaking in spots. Nice jam though.
Peace be with you. Blessings, John

Gotta love that 60's tremolo tone. Vocals are really fine. Yeah this tune rocks. The guitars do need to be better balance throughout. It's not always easy to carve out the sonic space for mutliple guitars - bass. As noted, the mid lower frequencies have a tendency to get a bit muddy in this mix. It's not bad just needs some adjustments. Perhaps adding a band pass eq for each guitar and bass so that they don't step on each other.

I am glad that people seem to be enjoying the track, and I will certainly take all of the comments on the mix into consideration for any future edits that I may make this on this track or integrate them into future mixes. This track was definitely a learning experience for me. It was the first one that I have seriously worked on is close to 10 years.
The thing that really has me excited though is that people are responding to the song positively, and when it really comes down to it having people enjoy the music you are making is what it is really about.
