One of the more interesting tracks to listen to I've heard so far. The band took the time to do something original sounding, which is good.
I agree with the comments @ snare overcompression. Short of re-recording the tune, there's not much you can do about it other than replacing the snare sound with samples, as mentioned earlier. I think a lively, somewhat overtone ringy snare would really work. Not bright, just full and a little ringy. The kick doesn't command anything, but if it did, this track would grab me more.
The crashes and hats sound like tearing tinfoil. I point the finger at vintagewarmer. High amounts of limiting often get you that tinfoil sound on the mix.
I like the "bullhorn" effect on the panned backing vocal part, but it's more sonically grabbing than the entire vocal sound. It might work better if the vocal sound was just as compelling but still completely different from the bullhorn voc.
Lastly, the acoustic gtr sounds very mid scooped and thin, but the attack of the strum works. I could only tell they were acoustic gtrs and not the HH when I turned up my speakers.
