Hey :)
Really tight songs, I like them alot. Just a minor thing, some of the vox are slightly out of tune in places. I like the songs themselves though.

Let me start off by saying you guys have a lot of potential. You have a rough sound at the moment, but all the right ideas for great music are there. With the right refinement, practice, and better recordings you could really have something spectacular. I'm envious, you guys are so young yet you have so much talent. Stick with it and you will go far.
Save me - Okay in the part right after the singer does his first verse and everything comes in in and it's just instrumental there are some really ugly notes right under everything. It sounds almost like a bent saxaphone, or someone hitting something funny on an electic keyboard. At first I thought I had other music playing on my computer somehwere, but after listening to that spot a few times it's in your song. Whatever it is, it creates ugly dischord with an otherwise good song. It happens again in the instrumental part after the first "save me" chorus. And it's there in the last save me chorus. Y'know what, I think it's your rhythm guitarist, or whatever that buzzing sound is. It is waaay out of tune. Please fix that.
I'm a big fan of layered vocals and on your myspace it lists four of you as vocalists, which is a real plus. Some of the vocals are out of tune, but the general idea is there. The guy doing the echoing "save me" goes out of tune. It sounds like he's unsure of where his pitch should be. Again, this song has the right ideas in place. All it would take is a bit of polish and refinement to be something great.
Still, that's pretty good for a live recording.
In My Head - A really catchy song. It's nice how everything just meshes together. I couldn't really find anything wrong with it. There's a slight rhythm skip around halfway through. I'm not sure what that is.
Goodbye - Started off a little too poppish for my taste, but everything builds into it nicely.
Going the Extra Mile - High vocal harmonies are out of tune in the beginning. They get much better at the end. I fell like the transitions between the fast upbeat part and the slower piano part seem a bit sudden. Maybe try finding a smoother way to transition between the two? The keyboard ending is exceptionally cool. I liked it a lot.
You guys have the potential to be great. Just stick with it. :)
