I found the tone on the guitars to be a nice edge to the song, and the performances were also awesome! I am curious how they were recorded... it sounds like you used amps and microphones. Were their effects pedals involved, or were any effects added to the guitars in the DAW?
The vocals sounded just right for this style of music, at least to my ears. It's not a genre I listen to by choice much, but at the same time I have been hearing it regularly for about twenty years. It seems like this was especially popular in 1996-97, when I spent a year in Boulder, Colorado. All over the radio it was, and I'm sure it had something to do with the state party college there. I also tend to hear this sort of style incorporated into television shows which I watch and re-watch, such as "Workaholics" and "Parks and Recreation."
I think you did an excellent job here. Joseph already mentioned the clipping, so I won't harp on that. I would love to hear the song with live drumming instead, but that is simply one of my frustrations with many modern rock influenced styles... they all seem to use those drum romplers any more. I always found drums to be hugely important in rock, punk, and metal styles. Even so, you composed them well! Probably backing of the mastering would bring out the dynamics of the drum part a little more.
Thanks for sharing the cool song!
Concerning the recording, I used my AKG C214 to mic a custom fully-birch cabinet with two Eminence Swamp Things, one Eminence Man O War, and an Eminence Texas Heat speakers. The overall tone of that setup is thicker while still maintaining clarity. It provided excellent low-end and was a good match alongside a DI recording using a Mesa Cabclone for mid and high range clarity. The amp head used was a ENGL Powerball II set to a low-gain crunch channel. Guitar used was a PRS Wood Library (only ten made!) with Karina body and neck, with 57/08 pickup in the bridge and 59/09 in the neck. Extremely articulate! The most accurate guitar I've ever played or seen. Used a variety of picks to get the tone and sound I was after. This was all ported into Pro Tools 12 and had very minimalistic, basic effects: minor EQing, compression, short-tail reverb and stereo widening.
I agree with the drums. I just don't have access to a real drummer. Truth be told, this song was originally intended to be a sample piece only 30 seconds long (for a punk-style band interested in recording their EP with me) but it turned into a full song! Even though I have most rudimentary setup and my "studio" looks nothing of the sort, they still chose to go with me despite being courted by a number of other local, more-professional studios.. So I'm happy about that. I still have kinks to work out in my mixing but I am a very quick learner. Mahloo has been giving me mixing advice along the way and has helped tremendously through it all.
Sorry for the book but I thought you'd take interest in the details of my recording considering you're very knowledgeable about all the workings of guitars and their related hardware. I really do appreciate you stopping in for a listen!

this is a good song keep working it. I am happy you are branching out trying new sounds. That´s the best way to improve and keep climbing the stairs of artistic semblance.
Also Centralsdev, never makes any sense when he try´s to engage you about effects, and compression, your best bet is too just to nod nicely and move along without poking the sleeping bear.
keep on keeping my friend, always good to hear your evolution. us older folks are counting on you so we get some backstage passes some day! ;-)

I like the swagger. I can see the girls screaming in the audience for you and your brother. This is a definite fav.
