Fun song! Like punk should be. Punk these days is ridiculously pretentious.
The easiest thing you could do, and it would make a huge difference, is mix-down what you have with much lower vocals. Run the 4th track w/ drums and guitars up to almost max, then bring the vocals up. You've got all vox and no VOX.
If it were me, and optimizing sound quality were the goal, I'd use all 3 mics on the drums for 3 tracks and bounce them down to #4. Then use a mic and track for each amp, bounce to #3. Then bass on 2 and vocals on 1. This will give you much more choices in how you want to mix all the levels, and WAY fatter guitar.
For drums, mic the kick, snare, and have one overhead, somewhere. Check the drum forum. Spend some time with the 'search' function before posting a question. If the drummer has a hard time playing w/o the rest of the band, not unusual, try to set up your amps and PA facing away from the drums, and mics.
The vocal parts are simple enough to do one track.
"we lost tons of energy in the recording"- it takes practice! If you want to make recordings, you have to practice it. Just because you can play the song live, doesn't mean you can record it. It's a whole 'nother discipline.
One of you guys probably has a decent stereo tape recorder. If you get creative, there are lot's of ways to bounce around and increase track count. Of course, it sounds worse and worse every time you do....
