The top end of the mix sounds pretty good - nice vocal clarity, and the guitars and the top end of the drum kit come through nicely.
The low end needs a lot of work, though. It sounds like you have boosted the bass and sub bass frequencies quite heavily. If your monitoring doesn't allow you to hear the low end in your mix, check it out on a frequency analyser - you'll see what I mean. If you compare it to a commercial mix in a similar genre, you'll hear the buildup in the low end.
As counter-intuitive as it sounds, sometimes cutting low frequencies, not boosting them will give you a tighter, more defined bass. In a fast rock song of this tempo there is simply no room for this much bass. Pretty much all the information below 50hz is superfluous to the song
Because sub bass frequencies take up so much headroom, you're also doing you mix a disservice in the sense that the sub bass and bass frequencies are triggering the mix compression/limiting and causing massive "pumping" of the mix. That's fine in a EDM or dance track, but not for punk rock.
If you get your low end under control you'll be golden!
