I heard that MJ Lenderman's shows are filled with tons of middle-aged guys.I'm a middle-aged guy, and I want to follow MJ around the country. I'm a Lenderhead.
Coulda sworn I had a mix tape from 1994 that had this song on it with some Liz Phair, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr. Nope, this gem is from 2024. Thank you, my good sir.
Heard this on the Radio, thought 💯 it was a 90s jam since Matt Pinfield is one of the DJs and they play a lot of 120 Minutes shit. Just finding out it's only a couple months old????
@@themarinelayermusic6469 Nah, this song has a lot in common with Better Than Ezra's "Good," Our Lady Peace's "Clumsy," and others of that 1995-1997 time period.
I just realized Jason Molina is totally who I think of when I hear MJ sing. But writes songs totally different from Songs Ohia. Great to see this guy on the rise!
I love both but this didn’t click for me until I saw them live a few years ago and it blew my mind. Also the venue started playing songs ohia after his set so I knew someone else heard it too.
I came here to post this if someone hadn’t already. This is the first song I’ve heard by this guy. I thought Molina on the first note he sang. Really digging these tunes!
Jason sang in a higher register, midwest accent. mj reminds me of "Pizza Deliverance"-era DBTs in this one, Johnny Corndawg in others. Wednesday's country songs are my favorites. But really I like them all. Hi from Oklahoma. I'm wearing a Funk's hybrid seedcorn cap and oxblood doc martens, a "smol tiddie goth wife" tshirt, tighty whities and a fanny pack full of xanax and bottle rockets. Today is gonna be nuts.
Totally. The main bassline riff sounds just like a GBV song so much that I'm having deja vu or something. Even the guitar solo at the end sounds like Toby Sprout. Vocals are obviously more like Pavement
Lenderman is probably the young artist that I’m most excited about. Great albums so far and that live record was phenomenal. Really looking forward to this new release.
Just heard this for the first time on The Spectrum and pulled over and snapped a screenshot with my phone so I wouldn’t forget who and what I was hearing. Something fresh and original. Love. ❤❤❤
MJ Lenderman is one of the best new songwriters of the last few years and like, I imagine, the rest of his listeners, I feel incredibly grateful and inspired to be watching his rise to stardom
He seems like a bit too quirky of a guy - in a good way - to become HUGE huge, but I think he could definitely wind up in the Sturgill Simpson/Jason Isbell tier
All the hallmarks..Except autotune, beat detective and millenial whoops. He'll have a decent underground career, but real music will never return to the mainstream in this broken world.
@@themarinelayermusic6469 music is cyclical, trends don't last forever, and before long EDM/electronica/rap will be the music parents are listening to, and kids will want something different, they always do
Further evidence that there's hope for (and in) Millennials. This is soooo good to hear. I hear echoes of Neil Young, Pavement, Toad the Wet Sprocket and Dinosaur Jr but it's new and creative and innovative and lovely all round. Thanks MJ!
everyone involved in this deserves some serious love. mj wrote a crazy good song and is snapping. alex got this sounding so damn crispy. karly absolutely shines. her finishing the song leaves you wanting so much more. excited for the album. keep doing y'alls thing!
Crazy how every Indie artist I love gets comped to Dino Jr. I finally bit the bullet and watched a doc and realized the amazing-ness of that band. Love you MJ.
Middle aged guys? I am 20yo dude from Central Europe. I don't know what it is, but Lenderman became my favourite artist; everything that is released is a total banger.
Not sure why but this has become one of my favorite music videos. The lighting is great, there is humor, just a bunch of randomness. It feels very 90s.
discovered this dude and this song more specifically during a really bad time in my life. my first ever girlfriend who i believed was the love of my life asked me for a break. we were always happy, but i was always suffocating. i do feel like shes leaving me, letting me go as slowly as possible. shes even from vegas, like the song mentions. just so painful but hey, its a fantastic song. thanks!
Meet the new king of alt-country. MJ Lenderman's Manning Fireworks is a gritty, guitar-driven masterpiece that’s equal parts Neil Young and Warren Zevon. With his signature blend of humor and heart, Lenderman delivers a record that’s both deeply personal and universally relatable. From the opening track to the final note, this album is a rollercoaster ride of emotions
I work in a music venue doing box office when the bartender played this song on the bar Spotify. Id like to think I'm in this video, outside the stage doors selling tickets for this gig. Now we just gotta book MJ irl
I fell asleep with the radio on, the climbing bass riff between the verses reeled me in out of my slumber and sent me scrambling in the dark for my phone to Shazam this tune. And so here we are.
Another great one, Jake. So, so glad you're getting all the love you're getting now; you're my favorite artist of the past few years and it's not close.

Love it!!! I’m right there with you 😅
i was so surprised at how old the crowd was when i saw him in dc
hell yeah brother
is this why the older guy is jamming with his air guitar while everyone else is giving thumbs down? 😂
I heard that too
I love you Michael Jackson Lenderman

right?
Or in 1988 in my old Buick. But anyway, things never change.

Fontaines DC are one of my favorite bands from high school. I graduated in 1989.
It does kinda have that "Feel the Pain" sound from Dinosaur Jr.
That would have been 2002, and it would have been sung and written by Ben Kweller.
When I heard it on the radio it reminded me of Dinosaur Jr. too
Ah, a new Pavement album. Finally.
lol
The Magnolia Electric Co
Haha absolutely 💯
Lol that was my first thought. Love the sound
funny- i heard this and thought- a new Sun Volt album. Finally.
haha
Pavement + Courtney Barnett + Gin Blossoms. What a cool blend of influences and genres. Love this.
Son Volt
Alt country!!!
Uncle Tupelo
Jason Molina
Definitely the golden age of alt country sound. Superb.
Its 1994 again! THANK GOD. Nice work everyone. Love it.
That's exactly the year I was thinking
You mean 1984.
@@themarinelayermusic6469 You mean 1974.
@@themarinelayermusic6469 Nah, this song has a lot in common with Better Than Ezra's "Good," Our Lady Peace's "Clumsy," and others of that 1995-1997 time period.
He’s from Asheville, so for Archers of Loaf’s sake we’ll say 1994.
This song slaps. This album is going to slap. Rock n roll is here to slay
I think Rock n Roll is leaving you TBH
Good jam.
They don't make like this much anymore.
Blessings to the commenters and Lenderman!
I'm a senior citizen and this is so powerfully good. Thank you so much MJ Lenderman for your songs it makes me feel young again.
Same
Yes! I am only 61, but I feel 21 when I hear this!
@@dcscott100 I'm 73, but I feel 61 when I hear this.
64 here, great song!
This song has 90s alternative rock vibes. I love it.
"we all got work to do" is already stuck in my head
Same ❤
I remember that line.
This has Steve Malkmus's fingerprints all over it . I love it and hope for more .
I just realized Jason Molina is totally who I think of when I hear MJ sing. But writes songs totally different from Songs Ohia. Great to see this guy on the rise!
I love both but this didn’t click for me until I saw them live a few years ago and it blew my mind. Also the venue started playing songs ohia after his set so I knew someone else heard it too.
I hear Jason Molina but with something like pavement mixed in, or just a classic 90s american indie sound generally
Strong Sparklehorse and Dinosaur Jr. influence too
I came here to post this if someone hadn’t already. This is the first song I’ve heard by this guy. I thought Molina on the first note he sang. Really digging these tunes!

Seeing MJ live and singing this song with everyone in the crowd in Nashville last night was such an amazing experience. Love, love, love this song.
Reminds me of Uncle Tupelo! Great song!!!!
Same ❤
Says the piano is played by Alex Farrar. I wonder if they’re related to Jay.
had the exact same thought!
@@samgriebel5616 If they are that would be interesting, because he is a close friend and collaborator with Jeff Tweedy's son
@@samgriebel5616No Jay's sons name is Ethan
guided by pavement. dig it.
silver pavement? pavement Jews?
I guess that explains why I took a deep dive into MJ and GbV's discographies basically at the same time.
Totally. The main bassline riff sounds just like a GBV song so much that I'm having deja vu or something. Even the guitar solo at the end sounds like Toby Sprout. Vocals are obviously more like Pavement
there's not much resemblance at all to either band.
@Crunchy-Peanuts not the vocals or lyrics, but the music sounds like a GBV song
I've listened to this song probably a thousand times since it came out. Help.
is it bc u listen to WFUV?
Stop it,just stop it,you got this.....
Lenderman is probably the young artist that I’m most excited about. Great albums so far and that live record was phenomenal. Really looking forward to this new release.
Still can't believe he didn't release the live album as a vinyl
This song reminds me of what music used to feel like when i was a kid.
I am an unborn embryo containing the all seeing eye of the universe and even I am feeling this guy's music!
Wow. I never thought anyone so young would appreciate this.
ill-timed with my new divorce in terms of subject matter but I'm here for it
Well timed. Came out at just the right time.
Ouch. Sorry man.
I feel that pain, got kicked out about 6mos ago now. Song hits pretty hard
Sorry about that. But why you trauma dumping, bro? 😭😂
@PinkDesertEagle lolol it was a different time - 5 months ago!
God love Jay Farrar, God love Son Volt, God bless this young man … plow on, bruh. Thank you!
This is how good rock songs sounded all the time in the way back then. 👏👏👏
Love how the band just stands there almost motionless as they play this banger
I can only assume the MJ stands for Michael Jordan the way he's GOATing
the way he wanted to sign with adidas
@@westerlied and it wasn't the pizza
he likes drinking too
Marc Jacob
Just heard this for the first time on The Spectrum and pulled over and snapped a screenshot with my phone so I wouldn’t forget who and what I was hearing. Something fresh and original. Love. ❤❤❤
Me too
I did the same thing 😂😂😂
reminds me of Pine Grove and Pavement. This is good music.
Pinegrove singing and the music sounds like a GBV song, for me
I thought Pine Grove immediately.
This sounds like Alt country from the 90s (the golden age). Excellent.
Def hear Uncle Tupelo in there
Definitely part of an alt-country resurgence
Tupelo, Richard Buckner, Dino Jr., Richmond Fontaine … Mathew Sweet even - love it
MJ Lenderman is one of the best new songwriters of the last few years and like, I imagine, the rest of his listeners, I feel incredibly grateful and inspired to be watching his rise to stardom
The Pete & Pete energy in this video is strong. Love it.
I have it on authority that Artie, Strongest Man in World thrashes his quads to this ish.
Pit Stain is their Roadie!
I used to hate music! Now I love it again!
Song is a masterpiece
definitely
Real music again - thank you MJ Lenderman
You can put your clothes back on she's leaving you is such a raw opening line and immediately hooked me into this dude's music. fantastic album:)
Watch this guy become huge. He has all the hallmarks.
He seems like a bit too quirky of a guy - in a good way - to become HUGE huge, but I think he could definitely wind up in the Sturgill Simpson/Jason Isbell tier

born in 99 arguably makes him a zoomer
really reminds me of Ben Kweller back in the day...great stuff
This tune is stuck in my head. I’m leaving it there for a while.
IT FALLS APART WE ALL GOT WORK TO DO
This is good. Good is good.
Great song.. Son Volt vibes… with a little J Mascis thrown in - I’ll take all of that you got!!
You got it there!❤
Archers of loaf too a little? all great shit❤❤😂
love yr sound brother! this goes on a mixtape.
everyone involved in this deserves some serious love. mj wrote a crazy good song and is snapping. alex got this sounding so damn crispy. karly absolutely shines. her finishing the song leaves you wanting so much more. excited for the album. keep doing y'alls thing!
also to the video crew you guys are amazing.. clay + whitmer + sophia + wilson + trent
Crazy how every Indie artist I love gets comped to Dino Jr. I finally bit the bullet and watched a doc and realized the amazing-ness of that band. Love you MJ.
Dinosaur Jr. is my favorite band. So cool you watched that doc. This kid sounds more like Jay Farrar (Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo) to me.
Open up youtube to a new MJ tune? gonna be a good day
I can’t get this song out of my head. Reminds me of Lemonheads or something else from the 90’s. Such a great song.
Hearing a lot of Pavement and Ben Kweller influence. Even a little bit of Neil. Sounds great!
That's a fantastic description. His voice definitely reminds me of Kweller. And I definitely hear some Neil and Pavement in there
I hear more Songs Ohia (jason molina) with Pavement and Darrin Bradbury thrown in.
Middle aged guys? I am 20yo dude from Central Europe. I don't know what it is, but Lenderman became my favourite artist; everything that is released is a total banger.
Keep Rockin' in the Free World
That’s good hear. Right on…
My new favorite
Not sure why but this has become one of my favorite music videos. The lighting is great, there is humor, just a bunch of randomness. It feels very 90s.
Awesome tune. Best music video I may have ever seen. I love that these guys are from Asheville NC.
Rock on

Love u buddy, it'll come back around hang in there
My favorite from the new album. Great track.
This song is amazing. Had it on repeat earlier. Video has Napolean Dynamite vibes. Top shelf stuff, 10/10!!
just, yes. 🫶🏼
Dude you have a great sound. 57 year old power pop fanatic.
68 but yeah!
I'm 64. The music today is as vibrant as anytime in the last 60 years.
I hear this song on Sirius XMU all the time and I love it! And the music video is super fun, thanks MJ 👍
As soon as I heard this song I was searching it. Props to SiriusXM for breaking/playing.

Haven’t heard a banger like this in a long time, it’s not leaving my mind
I heard this song on the radio yesterday. I dig it!
The endi g bass line. How it keeps decending. Chef kiss
I love you Michael Jordan Lenderman
I hope the Fairview community center is always poppin like this
Beautiful, touching music
The King of Hopscotch himself! Any avid music fans from Raleigh will know exactly what I mean.
Man, I fuckin' love this song.
Love this. Reminds me of early Ben Kweller.
Couldn't put my finger on it, that's definitely it
yep!
Great tune. Almost has an early Uncle Tupelo vibe. Looking forward to the album.
Takes me back to old Pavement. Slamming dope in Adam's west Queen Anne basement.
Im impressed how relaxed he looks performing this song at double time so it lines up in slow motion
no he just moves in slow motion
Air Lenderman does it again
Reminds me of some old my morning jacket ep I listened to back in the day.
songs been stuck in my head all week
I cannot emphasize how important this song has been for me. Huge.
this is the best song & music video combination i think i've ever seen. thank you mj
Thank you! 👏
I work in a music venue doing box office when the bartender played this song on the bar Spotify.
Id like to think I'm in this video, outside the stage doors selling tickets for this gig.
Now we just gotta book MJ irl
This is a vibe. Love seeing NC artists in my feed
I could totally see Pavement singing this song. It sounds like their style. It took a few times hearing this on the radio but I dig this song.
anyone else hear the jay farrar influence (son volt, uncle tupelo)? Loving ittttt
Check the description for who plays piano/mixed/recorded this one. I wonder if there’s a relation.
absolutely! first thing I heard
Yep
anyone hear the jesse farrar influence?
Thanks MJ, this is the best news I’ve ever heard. Let’s hope she doesn’t f*cking come back.
And if you make it to Melbourne, Australia, consider a trip to the Mornington Peninsula. For brunch. On us. Southern style.
we really need more of this music, I love it!
I heard this song by chance on the radio the other day! I absolutely love it!
this song is so good I can't get enough
I’ve never heard of this guy but ty RUclips for recommending the song I’m gna have on repeat for the next 3 weeks
I fell asleep with the radio on, the climbing bass riff between the verses reeled me in out of my slumber and sent me scrambling in the dark for my phone to Shazam this tune. And so here we are.
I love this song. I can't really say anyone than that. No sense of muddling up the beauty and simplicity of it. Brilliant.
Another great one, Jake. So, so glad you're getting all the love you're getting now; you're my favorite artist of the past few years and it's not close.
I love it, I think it's the rawness of it all ! so good
This song keeps the old grey mare alive and kicking, thank god.
Well done MJ. I hope things are getting back to some kind of normalcy in Asheville.
오.
When I first heard this song I couldn't get away from my radio ! This guy is good!
The same thing happened to me tonight. I was parking my car when this came on WMNF Tampa. I had to stay in my car until the song was over.
This song has been an earworm for a good month or so. Love it rock on
MISS PRETTY SLAYS. So does MJ btw.
This song makes me miss 1994.
