no one is going to spend $1/song on music from some teen band that has no acclamation at all.

You'd do much better off releasing it free, or releasing at least a couple songs for free then the rest for a small fee.

You guys sound like a knock-off of early Of Montreal.

Sounds decent, may buy a couple songs however you guys do sound pretty generic. Plus whoever mixed it made the hi hats way too loud.

yeah we wanted to make the album $2 so its not a big deal for people to buy but we still make some cash to pay for the recording and such but itunes is weird and just made the album $5- we're trying to change it

The way the singer sings makes it sound kind of childish in some way. I think he should put more passion/ emotion into his voice, and then it would sound better. Besides that, not bad for a first album. Also I wouldn't try to make money on it yet. Wait tell you get enough fans and truly find your sound.

You guys had some solid tracks for sure! My only critique is that I wish you would have changed up the instrumentation here and there. Your typical band with guitars and drum kit is lovely, but I was dying to hear a sweet sax rift or trumpet solo, something a little bit different that would separate you from others. Those tracks were a good listen though.
