Sounds like you had a fantastic time at the concert just like when I saw them live. There were actually people of different ages there, I was probably the youngest. It was such an awesome show, I really hope they get more radio play as more people need to listen to their excellent music!
Hey Sam, I was really looking forward to this one! I knew you had recently seen them. Fabulous review of their music and the show! I am really looking forward to seeing them in October with my son. This band has been growing on me at a tremendous rate. However, I am not ready to anoint them the next big thing. Hopefully if they keep going in the right direction, they will see great success. Take care.❤
Sam I listened to the Essentials playlist on my Apple Music today. I’m very impressed with these guys. I’ll definitely be on the look out for their albums. Definitely hear some Beach Boys and I might be a bit nuts but I really thought I could hear some Beatles influence as well. 🤷🏼♂️ Glad you got your see them. Take care and hope you have a great week. 🫶🏻👊🏼🍻
@@samstjohn1994 yes I thought it was kind of funny you mentioned that there were no older people at the concert. I’m 54 years old and if they come close to Oklahoma City or Tulsa, I will probably try to go see them.
Absolutely in love with their new album! It's like it was written for me specifically lol. I've listened to it like twice a day since I got my vinyl copy a few days early.
I have been hearing a lot of good things about the group. It sounds like you really enjoyed the group and that they would be someone that I would like.
Thanks for the review, Sam. This is a great group. A real throwback! As you mentioned, I would add Todd Rundgren to their list of influences. The new album is their best!
Stephen Schnee did a video about them today, now you and I watched someone a couple of weeks ago talking about them. Gonna need to check out their music. Thanks Sam.
Glad you got to see this group in concert and have a fun time with your partner. Thanks for taking the time to post a review of the concert and the album. Sorry to say I'm not a big fan of the new album. Although it sounds great, and provides lots of ear candy, I can't get past the fact that it seems to me to be a lot of complex arraingments of very mediocre songs. And I think I made a comment on Alex's channel one time that their previous album was ok, but that some of the songs seemed wriitten for 14 yr old girls. I think that may have offended him. But I can see how someone who loves Pet Sounds would like this album. So I appreciate your review because it's nice to know how an album like this comes across in a live performance.
I appreciate you commenting. We all have opinions on music and we can't all agree on things. I just look at it as fun pop rock music, which is fine by me! Thanks for watching!
Glad you had a great time. The music I have heard is excellent. I am just starting to listen to them after hearing them say they were influenced by The Beatles, The Beach Boys and SPARKS. 🙂
Yeah, I was talking to my friend Tommy today and he made the comment that their first couple of albums are more Sparks like. The last two are very Beach Boys and Byrds influenced. Let me know what you end up thinking when you get into them!
Sounds like you had an awesome time and that it was a great show! I’m hoping to catch them live sometime this summer and/or fall.
They're coming to Richmond at the end of this year, I'm hoping to maybe see them again! Thanks Emma.
I love this band. Saw them last year. They're so great live. I'm still waiting for my copy of the new one. Can't wait
Man it plays through so well, I absolutely love it! Cool that you got to see them too!
@@samstjohn1994 The harmonies they could pull off live were amazing & some of those high kicks were impressive too 😂Great fun!

@@whatthejim glad you're finally seeing this! We were definitely on the older end when we were there haha

In the meantime, feel free to anoint me as the next big thing haha. Thanks Matt, it was such a fun show, you'll dig it!
@@samstjohn1994 you’ll always be “the next big thing” to Matthew Street!! 😎👍😃

Beatles and Beach Boys are their top two influences! So cool that you're digging them!

Michael is the youngest brother.
Brian is the oldest.
I corrected myself later on

Very cool! I need to spend more time with it but am loving it so far!
@@samstjohn1994 they're finally coming to my neck of the woods in November too, I'm so stoked!!
I have been hearing a lot of good things about the group. It sounds like you really enjoyed the group and that they would be someone that I would like.
Absolutely you'd love them! They are getting better and better as a group too.
Excellent review Sam. You're the best at these type videos. Very enthusiatic praise. Glad you had a great time.
It was so good Rich, you'd love their most recent album! Thanks for your kind words!
Thanks for the review, Sam. This is a great group. A real throwback! As you mentioned, I would add Todd Rundgren to their list of influences. The new album is their best!
I agree, it's the most jangly of the bunch!

You'd love them! I saw he posted a video but haven't watched it yet. Cheers!

Hey, another band with brothers! I've seen the album Go to School shown many times in the VC, but I am generally ignorant of them, for now.
You really should start with this most recent one, so throwback but very modern too
I've heard Elliott Roberts talk about them and I'm intrigued. They're going to Woodstock in July and I'll probably check them out
You absolutely must see them! They're superb!
Wait, you said you felt old?? I'm 43. I'll feel like a grandfather around the crowd haha
@@jeanpepin6497 haha they are a young bunch!
