I just wanted to share this new song I'm pretty psyched about.  Just finished the mix last night and now it's off to mastering.
Hope you enjoy!

Vocals need to come up, a lot. Also, I would suggest placing the female vocal wide left and right to separate it from the male vocal.
 
Drums are a little busy, but the recording is okay.  Lead guitar sounds very far away for some reason.
 
This mix is pretty close, just needs a bit more polish.
 
Regards,
Dan

Long time since I heard you.  I look forward to some good rock when I click on your songs and I am not disappointed. I would also bring the lead guitar a bit forward in the mix, maybe. After it goes for awhile I hear it just fine.  An audio illusion?  You do know how to rock.

Thank you Warren!  Yes, we are bringing the guitars a tad bit forward as well as the vox - doing a vox up and vox down mix to soak in before we release! :)  Always a fine line there.
 
I appreciate the kind feedback!  That drummer was 19 at the time of the recording.  He can be a bit over-eager at times, but for this song - it is exactly what I wanted.  You can't help but move your head and body along with it.

I love the song!  However, I was fighting to hear the bass guitar, but it was overwhelmed by the drums.  As good as this song is, a little extra polish on the mix wouldn't be wasted.  I see that you're in KC, too.  I'd love to hear you play if you're playing around town.

Hey Lynn!  Yes that is actually a new lineup and we're writing and rehearsing right now; not sure when or where we'll be playing, but check out our main website or facebook page and LIKE/FOLLOW us to get notifications!

Definitely polishing right now.  This mix was close but I will post the final results for you all here.  

Thanks for taking the time to listen!!

Reminds me of Rush mixed with the B-52's . . . which is to say, what an awesome love child!
 
I'd agree with the vocals up, drums a bit down (always very busy, how about a calmer drum section occassionally so we can groove?) and I'd say bass up a bit as well.
 
The vocals work a treat when I can hear them in between titanic drum fills and splashy hi-hats.
 
nice tune!
 
cheers,

Thanks.
Well, I LOVE THE DRUMS.  And as long as I'm happy, that's really all that matters, at the end of the day. ;)  I'm grooving plenty.

You have a great rocker going here!  I have nothing to add to the comments above other than -- oh, oh --- IMHO the drums are a wee bit too loud.  However, you are the artist and if you are satisfied with them then that is what counts.
I look forward to more of your posts.
