I like the song. laugh

But if you're going for a more "punk" sound, you might want to listen to this guy:

You must explain/why this must be...

Ooops, got distracted listening to some cuts from London Calling. wink

Back to comments...

Vocal: mismatched reverb, too much of it, singing is too smooth. Bass is boomy, not focused. The energy of the vocal is actually lower than the backing track, which is backwards. Keep the energy in the backing tracks, and have the lead singer drink some more espresso.

Guitars think they are playing in a different band. Lots of overlap between the instruments, in places they don't sound like they're playing the same song.

Ending (before the "wooo") is a boring, standard cadence. It needs something a bit more in line with the feel of the rest of the song.

After a couple of listens, it sounds more like you've got a Billy Idol sort of vibe going.

Looking forward to the next iteration, even if you ignore all my suggestions! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
