Pop-punk? No seriously.

This will probably inspire mild nausea in any seriously died-in-the-steel-wool metalheads but I figured I'd post it anyway. A track from a local pop-punk band named Of All Things. And before anyone mentions it, yes they do pretty much worship Blink-182 / +44. The drummer spent £3000 on a black OCDP drumkit just because he loves Travis Barker that much.:loco: He has some pretty good chops though so I'm letting him off.

Anyways, not much to say about the setup. Drums were the aformentioned OCDP maple set. Guitar setup was a Fender USA Strat through one of those pokey little Marshall heads & a 4x10" cab. Bass was a Fender P-Bass through a Behringer Ultrabass. DI'd pre and post amp with an Audix D6 on the cab.

Having had chance to rest my ears and listen to it on headphones and at home I'll probably be re-visiting this one as I'm not happy with how the vocals sit in the mix.
 
Hey that sounds pretty good!

Not really a pop or punk fan, allthough i dig bad religion and the 80's pop songs a lot, this sounds cool...

I think the vocals are a bit too much upfront for my liking, the rest sounds like it should in my opinion, loving those synthy bits btw...
 
Sounds good as others have said. I just thought I'd add that I actually think Travis Barker is great at what he does, and while it's obvious that this guy you recorded worships him he does a good job playing like him. Sounds like he really hits hard. Nice job!
