Will you give me an honest opinion on my band? These are old recordings, but i would like to see what other think cause most people that tell me how it sounds can be biased. Thanks!

I've been in bands for at least 15 years as a guitarist playing thrash to jazz songs. I also had quite a few punk bands. I was also a c0-founder of an indie label and we handled a few bands and we had one band that sounded like your band.
for a pop-punk band, your songs are okey. The guitars, bass, and drums sound okey too. Though the songs on your myspace are demos, they're quite good. I do find the vocals a bit out-of-pitch here and there and it lacks angst. Apart from that, you're band sounds okey. I do understand that the limitations on the vocals could in part be due to the fact that they're just demos but I believe the songs can still be polished if recorded with a cd-release in mind.
And one more thing, it's better to start having your own sound and identity as a band so you'll stand out from the rest of the generic sounding bands of the same genre.
Hope this helps and goodluck.
