Yeah, a three song demo (which we recorded in my bedroom, so it doesn't sound great), plus the bottom song is a live recording. I'd appreciate any views/feedback on this, ideally advice on mixing and production, although I'd prefer if any pop-punk haters can refrain from telling me that we suck because we play a genre they don't like.

It's all pretty awesome, there's just a few things I'm nit-picky about:
The drums in The Joy of Rejection were pretty quiet, I'd bring them up in the mix a little more.
The hi-hats didn't seem very present in Try To Survive, too. But overall it's really, really good.

Well, we had a bit of difficulty with the drums in general, as we had to use an electric kit. Which explains why they sound a bit crappy overall. Stuff to tackle when we get together enough money for a proper recording, I guess.. Cheers though dude. :chug:

Whoa, they're electric? Well!
Haha, I thought they were acoustic drums. Sweet job, then.

I only had time to listen to one (and it started playing with Afternoon Drinking) ... Sounds good but i'd bring the guitars up a bit, or try recording them a bit better. They sound a bit flat and lifeless. Drums don't sound to bad but an well-miced acoustic kit would sound soo much better, still thats hardly your fault.
