This is not my style of music but I used to play in bands like this when I was younger. There's a large market for this type of music though and plenty of people that would like this. Here's my take:

-It has cool parts that work together but it's a bit long, there's no reason this song needs to be longer than 3m. Tighten it up.

-At 3:13 I dug the guitar alone like that. Might be a cool way to intro the song. Instead of the little guitar melody you currently have.

-Takes too long to get to vocals imo.

-I like the vocals. For this genre, your singer has some pipes.

All in all, I'd say you've got something good going for the genre you are in. Here is a link to a band I used to play with many years ago that I think is of a similar style. -They've got plenty of people that dig them even though they're not reinventing the wheel. They're just having fun with music and there's nothing wrong with that.

Good luck with it, have fun and thanks for sharing.
