Great stuff, Mike.
You consistently put out terrific tunes. This is no exception.
I would think about lowering the kick drum during the verses a tad.
But I am sorry: the title sucks! You have more imagination than that!

I really like dig the song and them mix. Great song. I am not sure I like the way the second guitar comes in with the guitar run down at about 1:16 and again a few seconds later as it seems to clash a bit with the melody but solid other wise. As far as a name for it.... You could use "drowning out the boys" just a more interesting title ad a cool lyric. Thumbs up.

Good work, man. It's got a lot of energy and I really like the guitar work. It's hard to judge on these small speakers, but the snare may have a bit more low end than it needs. The auto-tune on the vocal is kind of obvious in a few places, but it's otherwise right down the lane for this genre, as are the breakdowns and buildups.

By far the BEST SONG in Rock Style I've ever heard on here!!!
Bass could be spread a bit wider. Don't drop that kick at all if anything it and the hi hat could be squeezed just a bit...My favorite band is P-Roach and there recordings are mint!!! You've got the hook for the genre we blast at home so keep it up dude!!!

sounds great, mix is totally pro. i like the little chromatic cadence in the second verse. 15 year old emos everywhere will love it...

Song hooks me immediately. The following is just my take; many will rightfully disagree with me.
Song is splendid pre/post punk with excellent performances all and a really catchy melody.
OTOH, lyrics, while intelligible and ballad-like ... they don't hook me (at all) though lead vox is hyper-enthused and delivers exceeding well, IMHO.
10/10 for songs melody, mix, vibe and charisma
2/10 for lyrics (this song rates better chorus hooks, reality, maturity, etc., for my crony ears)

Nice work! Excellent balance throughout. I wish there was a little bit more of a dynamic build into the chorus. That's really my only suggestion.

Thank you to everyone who has responded, the comments are much appreciated! PS. The lyrics were never meant to be deep, my slower songs tend to be deeper, but in cases like this, it's sit back and sing along to a catchy melody. At least I'm not singing about going in a club and smacking up dem b*tches, ya know?
