IMHO the drums neeed to be pumped out to a stairwell or ping pong room via a 4 x 12 or a very loud hifi and stereo mic'ed and compressed to death - for some belivable ambience.. I dont like the cat sneeze reverb on the snare.

I agree with the uber pod gtr sound - it needs an odd / hybrid sound like a cranked marshall LEs Paul tracked with Tele combo fed with a say a wah pedal stuck on some oddd nasal / tube sound. If you cant crank an amp look into this...

Perhaps lay on some delay towards the end on the vocal, (or double track the L vox on the outro section) she sounds a little 'strained' / out on her own with no support vocally..

The vocal M8 gtr arpegiate section could get cut in half..

But crack the drum sound and the the gtr tone battle and the whole thing will work a treat.

I like the song / artist

For a "sex pistols pumping gtr" trick on the chorus that you may or not find usefull - see here..

If she has looks that makes boys scateboard into lamp posts by accident, I can see you getting some A&R interest.
