The thing I struggeled with was the sustain of the snare. What ever I tried I only acchieved to get it more and more spiky. This, however, ruined the ballance of the mix in a way that did not allow me to post it here.
Anyway, I tried to preserve a bit of that "punk aesthetic" while polishing the tracks. For my personal taste the rooms start to work now (another thing that took me a while to achieve).
My thoughts on this, briefly... During the verse, I'd say add another 1.0-1.5dB to the vocals. They were, for my taste at least, a little low in the mix. In the chorus, probably add another 0.5 dB to add a little more power. At the end, things seemed just fine.
The third guitar part that comes in at the climax of the tune went almost unnoticed. Maybe try to find a different EQ setting or different stereo position for it? Not sure, just know that I kinda liked that addition in the raw tracks and it seems worth trying to retain, but that's just me.
Overall, I agree with the others, this is a decent mix. Nice going...
