Opinion on my band please?

I can't say much for your recording abilities on that one, but some decent gear could solve that. The song itself, this acoustic one, seems pretty good to me, given the poor quality of the recording.(why is there a huge difference in the quality of that recording and the rest of them?) The level of the guitar should be taken down, and the singing brought forward a bit. I listened to your songs available on facebook, I was actually pleasantly surprised to hear some real musicianship, and real singing. I can't honestly say I liked all the tracks, but I can appreciate the talent it took to make them. I don't care for the band name tho, I think Blind Angels or Blonde Angels would work better. Calling yourself dumb, well that just doesn't sit well with me. You're obviously not dumb. Oh, get your hands on Alan Parson's book, The Art and Science of Sound Recording. It'll help your recorded sound a lot. Keep going, maybe you'll develop a big grass roots following. Odd juxtaposition of the types of songs you do. Kinda works, tho. Now you need a good you tube video or four. Go the extra mile, don't do JUST the band in performance. Work in shots that help tell the same story as the song, with shots of the band playing as well. I don't know about others, but I want to know that the band really plays and sings, and it's not all out of some box of canned sounds. Like the vocals, least ways on the softer stuff. I think the softer stuff will be your claim to fame, but being able to rock it never hurts. Make sure to keep some good dance tunes in your repertoire.
