it's not like i'm an expert or anything...

To me, it sounds pretty bright, too bright, listening through my klipsch promedia's on my pc with sub. The music as a whole sounds kinda trebly to me, and the mastering seems kind of haphazard, like someone wasn't sure how to eq the various instruments, vocals, and drums. On a positive note, it's damn sappy, you better start playing where chicks hang out in your town, which is a very very good thing.

Bear with me...

Hi schmittuml, I'll re-visit your site later, re-listen and explain the 'scratchy' comment.

One of my thoroughly unprofessional tracks can be found here - buzzy too low action on the bass!

OK, first of all - good vocals.
'Hear Me' - the cybals are too bright and everything else sounds relatively muddy.
'When is over' - the cybals are utterly overpowering (slap the drummer and recording engineer).
'A better Pain' - great song but everything sounds a bit muddy and garage-recorded and the drummer is out of time (lazy snare beats!).

Summary - I expect the band sounds very good live, and simply needs a quality recording to to itself justice.

Bye, Matt 'The Backseat Driver'.

Yep - that's exactly it!

Also, your jams are kinda groovey, and, speaking of drummers, your's does quite a nice cymbal thing on the second download.

Good luck with it.

And update your site with more recordings when you can.
