Hi!
My mix.
Thanks for listening.

I'm no expert but here are some thoughts: Balance feels pretty nice overall, I think I like this mix best from what I've heard so far (and apart from my own mix of course ;-), because I think you got the drums/guitar/bass balance right.
Some nitpicky observations: -
-Clean(er) guitar in the verse is pretty low, synths and bass aswell so we're left pretty much to only focus on drums and vocals. It feels a bit like no one in "the band" dared to step forward so to speak. I can feel and hear the low-end of the bass guitar but there's not much string sound, just a bit distortion that hints at that. I would change at least one of these things to make that part feel less empty.
-Not too sure about the snare, it feels just a tad too "robotic" at times although it feels like you're 90% there. Maybe add a distorted second snare track for some dirt or mix what you've got right now with the vanilla snare, something very subtle?
- Vocals sound a bit muffled, especially in the chorus. Something is cutting the mids?
