Heya! Noobie in need of help!

Im on the journey of learning mixing and recording in my homestudio and need a lot tip and tricks to improve :)
The demo iv recorded is a cover of Up All Night by Blink 182.
The demo was recorded in Cubase 7, with Focusrite saffire liquid 56 and two Focusrite Octopre mkii. The drums (4 pices set) is close miced with SM57 top and bottom, with two AKG c1000 as overheads. The guitar is recorded through guitar rig 5 pro and bass recorded via mic se4400a and line in. The vocals are recorded on mxl v69m.

The mix is mostly based on presets and original VSTs from Cubase 7.

Here is the mix and its sound like crap having hard time getting right :(

I find another sign up out of the tens and twenty different ones that I already have to be a hassle...but what ever right?

I am always thinking that a WAV file is coming so I appreciate the clarity of that and the fact that the site doesn't interpret your music for you as it streams out.

Maybe I am just old and like clear un squashed music?
