I am 60 years old (sigh), and this is the best new pop/rock song I have heard in a long, long time. I also like their style. No need to be flashy or gimmicky, just PLAY.
Donald Joy , 58 here. An old school DJ at heart. When I first heard this it took me back to something from the late 70’s, a little bit of Sweet meets the Knack, maybe? I just love it!
This song has a 60's garage band drive, combined with Thin Lizzy guitar harmonies, an 80's style synth, and has elements of the Stokes in it. This song is perfect!
Real. Fall 2019 was my favorite time period ever. Junior in hs and just started hanging out with my friends n doin drugs n shi. We used to jam this song all the time, late 2019 was the bomb man
It's a funny thing music. Everyone thinks that their taste is the "best" or they are more "cultured" in the realm of music, but really if you like something and it makes your heart-rate climb a little, or puts a smile on your face it's all done. The musician('s) have done their job. Music is so awesome.
Absolutely. I lose myself in jazz theory and tend to analize the fuck outa almost everything i hear but at the end of the day i still have justin bieber in the same spotify "liked songs" playlist as i do artists like jacob collier or mathy stuff like chon. if you like it you like it. i still enjoy passively listening to music. being "more cultured" can lead to elitism, but it can also lead to understanding. Open minds make great music.
I’m 53 having grown up with 70’s-80’s rock and 90’s Alt in my 20’s. This song has a nice throw-back groove. Love the harmonizing guitars. I wish there were more new songs like this. Heard it on Alt Nation. Good day.
This is probably one of the best-sounding modern songs out there, in my opinion. No offense to modern music, but most of it just doesn't have soul to it. This song definitely has soul, and it's organic. I thought this song was from the 80's when I first heard it, but I looked it up and realized it was new. It put a smile on my face to know that good music still exists.
I've been hearing this on my alternative station for MONTHS. I finally found it a minute ago. Like a lot of commenters have said, it sounds not dated, but classic. It's nostalgic. It's just so refreshing and stands out so much from a lot of the modern songs that pay before and after it. And it's damn great too.
This was giving me 2000s-early 10s rock punk vibes.. I heard this song thinking such cause theres really no music like this nowadays.. not knowing this cameout 2019.. s/o White Reaper for this great song!
Holy shit. Heard these guys years ago as being suggested as one of the few rock bands that mattered. Man whoever that reviewer was they nailed it. First rock band that sounds like they matter to me so far this year. Hope they keep going.
These guys are the best band out there right now...just had the pleasure of seeing them live in Columbus, Ohio...Absolutely amazing! Tony's voice is on point, and their musicianship is well beyond their years...Nothing but great things for these guys...AND they seem grateful and humble with their immense talent and fortunes.
2019 did have a number of old school “new retro” rock music releases. The entire Raconteurs “Help Us Stranger” album comes to mind as does the song “Harmony Hall” by Vampire Weekend.
Yo but Im cracking up cause in some of the scenes it’s Clearly not him! Whoever is filling in for the show has their hair jacket and angle specifically placed so that you can’t see who it is. Maybe he couldn’t make it to the shoot that day?
Hell Yeah! You guys give modern rock music a hope and chance in the current industry. Let's open the flood gates with rock again...it happened in the early nineties and again in the early 2000s so now again with YOU! Thank you dudes! #newmusic
I found this band by accident a while back. Glad they have a new album out. I'm an old guy and these guys remind me of some of the good bands from the 70's mixed with some power pop bands from 80's to today. Think they have the potential to be a really really good band. Hope they show up in Cleveland at some point.
I don't even know how i started listening to these guys but dammit, I'm glad. Just bought their vinyls, show my support, wish these guys the best. Been along time since I've heard some good music, almost gave up, but I'm still here.
Heard these guys on Alt Nation a few weeks ago and my first thought was, "Man, these guys sound New School and Old School at the same time". It's Awesome!
Definitely have a bit of a unique sound. Can't quite put my finger on it....it's like 60' meets 70's meets 80's meets early 90's. These guys have something special here.
@The Arrayz The harmonized guitars say 70s, something about the compositional structure, maybe the vocals says 80s to me, but the production warmth is more like the 90s. I think that it sounds like a throwback track to the 70s/80s that was recorded in the 90s, which is probably why some people would say the latter.
I heard this on the radio today and I thought it was an 80s song. My lady said it is newer and I said no way. Soundhound proved her right. Great old school sound!
I’m glad I found them right before they took off. That short time that I’ve been listening to them, they’ve grown so successful. They’re going to be huge one day... mark my words.
News alert…. Aloooooot of bands are doing it and have been doing it!! They’re just not signed to a major or signed at all or on an indie. Just because WR is kicking ass doesn’t mean a thousand others aren’t because they are. You’re welcome.
It's like Cheap Trick, The Bay City Rollers, and The Strokes dropped acid with Rick Springfield and Nile Rodgers on a bus whilst driving to a Chess King to buy Member's Only jackets. I love it!
I keep coming back to listening to this and it is possible I always will. This song has all that is required for a timeless classic. Catchy hooks, hitting on relatable themes, isn't so on the nose with current pop culture references to be irrelevant in a decade or later, not delving too far into any extreme musically or lyrically as to be offensive to the ears or sensibilities. Five stars, will listen again.
This reminds me so much of the bands I loved growing up.... stuff like Redd Kross, Jellyfish or The Posies. I’m glad music like this still has a place in the world.
Feel like I'm back in the 70's!! Love this!! Great song! Great video!! Heard this on 92.5 the River in Boston a few weeks ago and was unable to get the name. TODAY I GOT IT! Thanks to The River!

They are great in concert. We saw them in March.
I'm about to turn 57 and I'm 100% with you on that!! First time I heard it, I was like these guys nailed it !!!!

Spot on!
Check out Greta Van Fleet as well.
This song sounds so much older than it is, in a good way.
ReapersApprentice I thought it was a 90s song but glad to say I was wrong!
Wish more songs sounded this good
It’s those badass duel guitars
Very 90s song.
Yes, I felt the same about Empire of the Sun. Maybe that's why I like it soo.
Stamp of approval from a 54-year-old. Old school vibes. Heard this at the gym and went, "What?"
I'm like , it's got a beginning, a middle and an end ....the way songs used to be !!
Astonishing 🤣🤣❤️
@@MrTheHillfolk No doubt.
Agreed! This takes me back to junior high in California, circa "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
Weird, I also heard this at the gym and I was like "oooh😯"
Concur, from another 54- year old. Something without autotune! Yasssssss! :D
This song has a 60's garage band drive, combined with Thin Lizzy guitar harmonies, an 80's style synth, and has elements of the Stokes in it. This song is perfect!
Disagree with 60s garage sound. Sounds like 80s new wave mixed with 2010s indie with sprinkle of glam rock guitar harmonies. Not my favorite but
omg...I was literally thinking how their new song Pages has elements of 70's, 80's, and 90's vibes!
That's the Darkness vibes with Thin Lizzy shadows.
And Foster the People bass.
cook it hot!
There are songs that take you to a certain time. This one for me is the fall of 2019, I'll always remember it.
Real. Fall 2019 was my favorite time period ever. Junior in hs and just started hanging out with my friends n doin drugs n shi. We used to jam this song all the time, late 2019 was the bomb man
I discovered this like the first week of quarantine, so it reminds me of that
Good for you!
Definitely one of my favorite songs of the year
You do you, Mr President 😅
Have you review their album yet?
You got me into this band this band is damn good! Wtf are they doing in 2019 instead of in the Rnr hall of fame lol
Foreshadowing
Hey Jon! Watching this video on your recommendation!
You spend tons of hours scrolling through tunes and then find an absolute gem like this ☄️
actually I was eating at taco bell when I heard this. Tried to remember some of the lyrics that I heard to do a search and found it.
The best thing that happened to me this year is discovering this band ❤
You are the best thing that ever happened to me.
Ditto
same i heard it from mark hoppus's mouth!
After 96 I stopped adding new bands to my fav list but these gentlemen are quickly breaking my longstanding tradition!

Damn, just perfect infectious grungy pop. So refreshing considering the current state of pop music.
Check out H.A.R.D. if you're into that type of sound!
So crud
Seriously! So good!
When smells like teen spirit came out, it was the last great moment of pop music in the US
This song just never gets boring or old. Absolute gold!

it is....because it has the sound of when Alt rock was at its peak in the 00s
Bass line is practically identical to "Pumped Up Kicks"
Yeah, read it.
You should check out the band “Ripe” fantastic stuff - even better live
“Pages” brought me here and now wondering why I haven’t heard this song before?!!
Representing Kentucky!!! Amazing, cant wait to catch you guys in concert!

Bass player is great
Stolen from Pumped Up Kicks
@@nonai7897 not even close
@@tjmflame1683 It's the same exact line. Instead of going from low to high it goes high to low. It's the major key of PUK which is minor key.

At 49 years old I love the way the 1980's seems to have an influence on alot of the music thats coming out now.
This is one of those bands that I feel should be way bigger. Sounding like this is rare especially now.

OK now... That keyboardist is the coolest! He turns around: Oh, are you guys playing? lol! First time I've heard/seen these guys. Thumbs Up!
It warms my heart that bands still play instruments
Saucy, wicked fun,and timeless
did you think bands would just stop using instruments?
2019 did have a number of old school “new retro” rock music releases. The entire Raconteurs “Help Us Stranger” album comes to mind as does the song “Harmony Hall” by Vampire Weekend.
my god this song is legendary. I can see this band going MAD places. Singer is out of this world talented. Love this music video too btw
I absolutely adore the energy the keyboardist is emitting. While everyone else is pretty cool and collected he's just over there headbanging away.

@@seangymnast6605 hell yah
Hints of both the 80s and 90s. I even hear a little late 70s Cheap Trick in there. I’m diggin’ it.
I can’t believe I just discovered this song. I LOVE it. Play it over and over.
Oh finally... music with instruments!!!! We meet again after a few years
This song has the last 6 decades in it love it. 60s Chorus 70s instrumental 80s keyboard 90s guitar solo 00s verses 10s keep the lights down!!!!!
The only bad thing about this song is that it ends
Right?! I could put this song on an endless loop!
Ha! Dude you're right 😂
Listen to a 1 hour version

@@cristianalvejandro9 Oh haha i dont have a link but if you right-click it on a computer, it should say, "loop" just press that and it repeats (:
This is killer.. got that late 70’s skinny tie Old Grey Whistle Test vibe with modern engineering 📻👌
Is rock going back mainstream. When was the last time anything with instruments was on trending.
How to dumb down music, take away instruments and creativity, add gold teeth.
exciting, isn't it? love this retro sound.
Rock is the best. I like instruments in music more than the voice itself most of the time
@@oldworld6270 your mentality really matches your name
The Firely Slipknot, Sabaton, Korn, mostly metal...
This song came up on a Spotify generated playlist and boy, did they make the right choice. I hope this band gets the attention they deserve!!
Sometimes Trending knows what it’s doing
And sometimes it doesn't...
I uploaded my first video today, but don't watch it.
I saw them live trust me they are just as good.
Angel Alvarez lol
👏👏
@@icecreaminashoe8151 we won't :)
Love these guys and The Struts too. Both bring back the 70's feel like a shag rug on the dash of 71 Pink Cadillac.
I'm about to be 60 as well. This band took me back to Thin Lizzy duel riffs, you guys rock! We pass the baton, may you continue to Rock On!
Nice to hear a proper band in a world currently dominated by programming and drum machines. Hope these guys take off.
If Urban Outfitters gained sentience and started a band.....this is exactly what it would be.
Programming and drum machines r dope tho. Also this band kinda sucks.
Warm Numel you don’t comment
FF Zeep trust me I love rock music and there is great rock music made in 2019. But this ain't it
Bernie Lomax technology bad
Actual music with instruments who woulda thought. Fukn dope
White Reaper gives me a nostalgic feeling whenever I listen to them. They have gained a loyal fan!
The double guitar solos reminds me of Thin Lizzys style. I'm so glad that there is still bands out there than can make real music!
I just saw them on Saturday and am STILL recovering. So good live!
Their playing at Oceans Calling this Fall in Ocean City, MD and I'm pumped to see them live! I like their new song "Pages", as well
