I have been trying to improve my mixing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Don't do anything just yet, but wait for a few more comments. Here are my two cents.
I think the first thing that will help you is to find a reference track that you are aiming for, good for a comparison.
The middle is crowded and needs some space. Take your overheads and pan those out L/R (to taste).
Bring Kick up the middle.
Bass up the middle, I notch the bass around 90-100 for the kick. (You might try it and see if it works for you.
Pan your guitars L/R, I like around 90/90ish but that is a taste setting.
That will start to clean it up.
I am sure others will have better input.

sounds nicely mono.
snare a bit bright. I call it ricey.
Bass a bit boomy.
not getting the kick drum. Ride cymbal sounds ok but fades.
sounds like a two mic setup in a bar.
nothing wrong with that.
I think some wild ass panning would help
then reel that in

Good advice already, the bass is sometimes too quiet then too prominant. Automate lots. Sounds like too much bottom on the snare and the kick is inaudible. Play with the guitars panning and levels.
