You asked for reviews, advices and comments! So here we go.
I am just honest!:

I listened to all the tracks.
"Maniac" is one of the worst songs ever for me (together with "Its raining men", "Music was my first love" and such stuff…). Why is a band covering THIS song? (Because YOU like it, so it is ok of course!) The guitar solo in your "Maniac" is one of the most worst horrible guitar solos Ive ever heard, sorry!!! I thought about you are joking about guitar solos or the whole genre with this. Maybe it is a complete joke??? But I assume it is not...

Oh, what can I say? You sound like a real beginner band. Ok, you said its a demo. The guitar sound is ok for me but thats it.
The vocals sound also horrible to me. She sounds like a typical boring background singer girl… No own style for my ears. Get more OWN character in the whole music.
I guess you are nice people, the photo looks funny. But just play such themes with a surfy guitar sound do not make them original…
The drummer is too slow. Go and practice (fast) drum rolls!!! Get a teacher for this.
What can I say? My honest opinion: Go practicing. Try to play everything with more energy! The singer should get lessons too.

However,
best cheers!
