cool song, tight sound, good vocals.

Here are my suggestions. I think the guitars are muding up the mix. Let the low end come from the bass/kick. The snare could also use a bit of a bump in the high end as it seems a bit muffled. The kick sounds a bit muddy as well. Give it a little bum around 3-4k and cut some low mids and maybe high pass on it and the guitars? Hi hat a vocals sound great. :) Cant comment on the bass guitar much. It sounds really good and im not listening on the best reference system either. But just my thoughts.
 
Great song, man!
Beautiful voice, love it :)
My only nit is with the kick and the snare, they could use some more definition. Otherwise pretty tight, well done!

Cheers
Joe :D:D
 
This is a good, tight rock mix. The guitars (in the intro) sound a little far away though--they're better in the verse. I like to picture myself in a room with the band and see where things "feel" like they are in the room. It may be volume, tone or too much reverb. Any of these (or any combination) can make something sound close or far away.

The drums sound pretty good--so I start with them as my referenc point. The guitars (rhythm) sound like their just a bit farther away than the drums--they should be "next to" or even a bit in front of the drums. The vocals sound like they're right next to the drums--they should definitely be in front.

I like the bass--maybe a bump in its upper range would give it a bit more bite, but then maybe it's just right--I can hear it really well.

The solo that comes in at 2:51--that sounds a bit too close; needs to be in the mix a bit.

Anyway, I hope I have confused you with my "standing in the room" approach--it's just what I try to do with my own stuff. And this one is good--definitely worth the effort. Nice job.
 
This song sounds good.

It seems however, that the only thing with high end is vocals and hats...

You could probably afford to put the hats down a little in the mix, and brighten up the guitars by cutting around 400 and boosting around 2-3k.

Snare could be cleaned up a little too as well.
The kick isn't too bad in my opinion, for this mix.

I really dig the song though.
