Outstanding! Keep it up is all I can say.
I was in my first band when I was 12-13 years old and it was some of the most fun I've ever had. We only played a few paying gigs, but it felt so rewarding to actually make money from playing music instead of our part-time jobs (delivering newspapers, etc.). We even got to play a concert at our school dance (in between the breaks of the cover band the school hired) and we became quite popular locally.
We mostly played covers of the hard rock bands of the time (Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath, Nazareth, etc.), but we also wrote a few of our own tunes. Have you guys tried writing anything yet?
Hope things go your way and you guys can stick together at least until high school. Our drummer was in a really bad motorcycle accident 3 years after we formed the band and couldn't play anymore. Needless to say it was never quite the same after that, even though his replacement was a better drummer.

My band recently had a gig at our local town hall for a birthday party. We had a 40 minute set with around 10 songs and got paid £40 each!
Here is a recording of our cover of 'Don't fear the Reaper', the recording is really bad mind and makes the drums sound **** but never the less, enjoy!

That particular G'n'R song makes my ears bleed anyways, but I'll agree:
Sounds good!
The B.O.C. song is really good, too.

Kudos! You're better than half the vocalists i've had to suffer, with their "none of this is mine therefore i don't have to help" and "its all about me" attitudes, and you can sing in tune. In my honest opinion your lead guitarist deserves a medal for sorting that riff in sweet child, its a fiddly annoying riff to play for anyone! Another reason why i play prog/death/thrash metal! Lol!
