Here is my mix and master of the song.
Since I didn't have my previous template of the previous mixes (RIP), I wanted to come as close to the original mixes that I did with MekaPhil as I could.
Guitars were SLT Howard Benson, bass was re-amped with a Ampeg "76 and a Trace Atkins 4x12. Goal was to add more of a pop-punk feel to it.
Drums were original samples mixed in with my own. Not sure if I nailed the original tone of my mixes previously, but I think it was close enough.
Hope you enjoy!

Howdy! I definitely did enjoy
As always, the drum and guitar tones are really good.
Here's some stuff I'd consider possibly revisiting:
1) Vocal levels are a little inconsistent and the vocals themselves sound pretty thin.... especially the screams feel very recessed!
2) Maybe the guitars could be more aggressive? I like the tone but they lack a little bit of... idk, cut? Honestly, if your gain is at 3 then pushing it to 4 would be more than enough, relatively. This is ALMOST to Pierce the Veil levels of like, Bulls in the Bronx warmth but those tones also had a nice punch in the upper mids that felt a bit higher gain.
3) There's a very big hole at 600hz and too much going on at 200hz, or 1.2khz, or 6khz. Might wanna check your monitoring situation for room nodes?
4) Gimme that sweet, sweet high end baby. A shelf at 20khz by 6db would make this baby SHINE. And maybe 1 or 2db at 100hz on either kick or bass would help them stand out. But you've got so much room here to make things really punch, even just boosting like 3khz on guitar and some 600hz in vocals would help them sit nicer together in a way that lets them fold around each other. You know?
Thank you for your mix! It was fun to listen to and critique as always
Sincerely,
