I'm sorry. I can't stream your song right now. I will be on my laptop in a day or so. I will give you a good listen then.

I suspect your problem may be that your kick and bass are occupying the same freq range, but I'll let you know for certain when I listen.

I don´t have the internet connection near my control room (and monitors). I copy here and listen there.I would like try to help, but cannot play properly the songs (without the "download" option) on my tinny internet pc speakers.

Ok I'll listen to track 3

Fun tune for sure!!

Got lots of low mid mud here it seems. Boxyness for sure. I think you're gonna be limited by your sources, what where you using for mics and mic placment on the drums? Was this done live? Pull some 400hz out of your kit and work on the kick and bass together if they were recorded separately, look on articles on shaping eq of the kick and bass to give them their own spots in the overall frequency range. I like the vocal sound, fits the genre in my opinion.

Take all of this with a grain of salt caus I ain't no expert!

Here's my two cents -

I used "She makes me feel good" By Lyle Lovett as a reference track. It seems like the bass is a bit muddy, and the drums are pretty lifeless and pulled back. The guitar is overpowering in spots. Overall, it seems like the mix is a bit scooped, with a lack of low mids. I'd work on leveling out those issues, and see where you are at.
