Here's my attempt at this song. Any constructive criticism is much appreciated. I enjoyed mixing this song.
Cheers,

Took a listen. Initial thoughts:
I hear what you're trying to do level wise from intro into the first verse, but it might be a little too much. In particular, the guitar comes in and makes the drums sound small - esp. the snare - then the kick (solo) comes in and makes them sound even smaller in comparison.
Given the vocal level is about right, perhaps move other things around in relation to that. EQ also a significant factor. Right now everything's competing to own the low-mids. The bass/kick/snare interaction is one aspect, but also the guitars could speak more in the upper-mids and 7K region, which will clear out some space for other things (bass/drums/fundamental of lead vocal).
A few adjustments to EQ (first), then readjusting levels, should make the mix a lot stronger.
Hope this helps. Cheers, Jeff
