    One of those rare moments when your first impression is "what the hell is this watered down imitation of something that happened way before they were born?" and at around the half-way mark you realise it's the best thing you've heard in ages.

      Well I’m 20 sec in thinking.... shit!..... half way now... some good bits, the little 60s small faces irishey pub bits cool.... yeah a cool little interesting band, but I just want a proper rock n roll band to break on thru and kill hip hop rap the way hair metal and before that the dinosaurs were rid of by punk and then nirvana

      rory clynes Don’t be so cynical of something just because other people like it. The fact of the matter is this is objectively well written music; if you don’t like the style than that’s fine, but to say it’s badly written is wrong. Because it is well written.

    • @davidblincow936
      @davidblincow936 5 лет назад

      I completely agree that there are so many good bands around, but they haven't been getting the attention they deserve. Look just to European festivals like Pink Pop and Glastonbury's thinning out of promoting really good bands in the last ten years or so. Small venues are also having more and more trouble attracting good bands (money ) and being a support act means nothing anymore, unfortunately !

      Theres a whole bunch of Mick Jaggers and Rod Stewarts still playing pubs across the UK that have been denied just because they don't fit the narrative. How much more would you have to listen to if politics didnt get in the way?

    Why do people hate the band?
    The melody is great,
    The chord progression they used in this song is far complex and superior than your typical 4 chords pop songs holy sht. These guys are genius, at the age of 19 and 21 they've created one of the best pop albums ever created. I'm probably biased because i've heard all of their songs and it touched my heart, it gave me hope for the generation Z music movement.
    They experimented a lot and it gave them personality that no one in the mainstream music could par.

      @@Linusgirthking well the complexity of this song is something worth of praise. Although, the structure of this song is unconventional and seems weird, it still manages to make it really catchy and that is something not easily achievable. It takes great amount of effort to create such music.
      It is true that complexity doesn't equal to good but to simply put what i've said earlier, the complexity of this song makes it great.

      I watch how fast and accurate his fingers move on that guitar and it's very amazing. They need to turn his parts up a tad.

    the lemon twigs are great, celebratory of 70/60s sound, not derivative. reminds me of foxygen.

      Fun fact: Jonathan Rado of Foxygen produced their first album! Really blew my mind, when someone told me that in the commentary section. :)

    Nice to see the diminished chord making a comeback.
