What do you guys think about this mix?

I've been working on this song for a while now and want to see what you guys think before i throw the vocals into the mix

Im not going for the Sturgis or Chango sound anymore. just kinda using them as references or inspiration. Im trying to create my own sound but it still needs to be really full.

I've only just starting getting into the whole production/mixing thing myself so feel free to just ignore what i have to say (which isn't much)
Overall it sounds pretty good man

The kick is a little too clicky for me, but if that's the sound your going for then nice work.. (perhaps a little boost in the low end ??).
Also I'm guessing they're programmed drums?? Try messing around with the velocities and timings to make it sound a little more natural
Guitars have a nice strong mid, but sound a little muddy in the mix, and could use a little more clarity (i could be completely wrong by this, ears are not the best and speakers are pretty bad :\)
There's also this weird resonance/phase issue during the 3:15 breakdown, possibly the guitars fell a little out of tune or something, im not too sure...

keep it up man, can't wait to hear it with vocals
