Hey Matt,
I listened to both songs. Similar good points and weak points between the two so I'll combine my comments.
First off, where be the words??? Without lyrics, these sound like ska-style video game chase scenes. You said, emo in the description but I don't really hear that here.
On the mix, I liked the heavy guitars. You did a good job doubling for the thicker effect. The playing was also very good on the guitar/drums. Didn't hear much bass guit. The rest drowns it out if it's there at all.
As for drums, I'm hearing clipping on the first track (that girl song) and they sound distant overall. the kick sounds solid but the rack toms and even a little of the snare sound far away.
Overall, I'm not hearing a whole lot of problems but I'm also not hearing any real melodic or rhythmic (or lyrical, obviously) hooks. These tunes are good but you need more to catch a discerning listeners ear. Something that makes each tune unique, genuine and memorable. I didn't walk away humming either tune and, to me, that means it's time to refine the writing a little. The playing is great, though. you definitely have it in you. Just gotta flesh things out a bit.
Two cents dropped in the bucket.
Miles
