Alright, I'll bite. I listened to a few songs you have up. Let me preface by saying I'd go see you play if you were nearby.
Before you record anything above demo level, the guitar solos might need to be examined. They are some clearly dissonant notes in them and I'm not sure if that is what you are going for. I like the up-tempo songs a little better. Those seem like they would play well live. I like the harmony in some of the bridges but the drums seem to lose the energy to carry a strong rhythm feel during them. In my opinion, the feel of your songs is almost like a more punk rock version of Marcy Playground but with higher vocals.

I only listened on a phone, but I'd second what he said.
1. Pin those vocal melodies down precisely where they belong. The whole delivery is unspirited and uninspiring.
2. Guitars in music that's even remotely considered punk should roar. Instead, they wimper in the background. I thought the drums were decent, but the verse where he's stabbing at the hi-hat and not letting it ring at all seems pretty juvenile. It sticks right out in that sparse mix and robs attention from the vox and guitar.
3. bass was decent, but overall I'm not hearing these instruments played with the intensity I'd expect on a song like this.
4. The guitar solo could work with the tonality adventuring but that would require some dirt and delay and/or reverb.
Good luck.

That's not my name, but if you're talking to me rephrase it.
