I think the vox should come up with a little less reverb.
The drums should have more punch and volume.
The fuzz guitar is kinda fizzy, I'd use more of a chunky, crunch tone.
Hi pass the lead guitar track.
Bass sounds very loud and boomy, I'd add some mids and bring it down.

Just my opinion, nice song, good performance. Enjoyed hearing it!
 
No, no, no, that guitar sound is not right, the guitars sound as if they were recorded 2 rooms away. You just hear them drone in the background, they need highs. The drums sound pretty boxy too, although the basic sound of the snare is good. You have 2 singers here with good voices, why aren't they doing harmonies in the chorus? The song idea is good, but it could be arranged and recorded better.

What they said.

The vocals really don't need that much reverb. And they should really harmonize with each other more often.

The kick drum especially needs more body to it, the snare is 98% there but it just needs some more balls. The toms need a lot more punch.
 
The performance seems pretty decent on this - vocals especially - but the mix needs some work. The guitars in particular bugged me. The clean sections sounded kind of small and lifeless as if they were recorded direct with little care. The distortion is really fizzy and lacking in definition and body. Bass is a little too round, and while I generally gravitate more towards that sort of bass sound, this seems a little extreme. Drums should come up and once you do that, I think you'll find that, like most of the other tracks, they could be processed differently to contribute to a brighter livelier mix with more air. I think you certainly have potential here, just kind of a flat mix overall.
