Gosh, I would really like to see them again. I didn't get to really appreciate the show because I heard maybe one of their songs before. I totally love who they are as a band and as people.
Please don't listen to this guy. Sounds great. A good melody adds a whole other dimension to the the song and really gives more life to the instrumental while constant screaming just gets monotonous. That's just my opinion of course.
I get a POD, Bullet for my Valentine, and Killswitch Engage feeling from these guys. I don't mind that at all. Plus they are Christians and spreading the word!!!
Man, I just discovered you through your album Violence & Destruction, and I love it! While that sounds like Nu Metal revival, this sounds like It would fit in with all the Early 2000's Screamo like Thursday and Dead Poetic. Both are killer!
Weighing in on the Deftones influence comment: I firmly believe they have altered the genre, particularly in the early 2000s with the White Pony album. From that point forward, I've noticed many bands, whether consciously or otherwise, following the path Deftones laid out for them. We can't say that Islander, or any other band in the genre "sounds like" them, however, the influence in inarguable. Listen to some music before Deftones' White Pony album, and music thereafter. To sum it up, Deftones have been one my favorites and are undeniably one of the most influential bands of the early 2000s.
Laura Costa couldn't of said it better! great to see bands taking that influence. will be seeing this band next fri, and deftones twice this summer. one at red rocks w incubus, beyond stoked.
+Laura Costa I think you hit the nail in the coffin. I started listening to these guys a couple of days ago since i'm going to see them opening for Korn, and the resemblance is uncanny. Their melodic riffs and Carvajal's voice reminds me of what Deftones brought into the table at the beginning of their career and so on. I wish I could see them live, but they rarely come down to FL... Anyways, Great piece!
The body movements with the structure of music remind me of chinos style as well as the sound yet at the same time it has its own progression of sound.
Luke Pickens I saw them open for Seether and Papa Roach, I only got to see them play two songs. But they instantly won me over. They have an interesting sound. I liked them a lot. And to the person that said they sound like Rage Against The Machine, they really don't. That was like one of their songs (I looked up all of them) but they'e kind of alternative/thrash metal
In case anyone didn't already know this from listening to this song and Coconut Dracula, the lead singer/songwriter Mikey Carvajal, is a Christian. That does not, however, make them Christian band as they are not active within the Christian genre.
Logan Hollis Keep thinking that. Why are they touring with Red then? They are all Christians, and their lyrics have strong ties to Christianity. They do, however, appear at secular events. (Like most christian metal/rock bands do)
If he stays with that high restrained voice when he sings "all around me, I see" and NOT when he sings "so many things I do not understand" it would be more of that deftones/chevelle/tool sound they're going for.
Everyones saying Deftones but I hear a more P.O.D. influence, especially in their other song Coconut Dracula. They're even wearing those "The Whoevers" shirts and that's the dude from P.O.D.'s clothing line.
Please let us know when you're coming to Ohio, we would love to see you guys live. Oh, and don't worry about these idiots trying to put you down; they're just sad that they haven't done anything with their lives.
anywhere i can find the lyrics to this? im kind of going through a transitional phase myself and this song has been played a lot but im having trouble learning the words.
These guys deserve more recognition.
They're starting to get it. I'm sure touring with Red got them out there a bit more. It got me listening to them.
I hear them on the radio all the time. I'm gunna go see them in concert with POD
Bryson Fraga What radio station plays Islander?
+tronjones4939 I live in northern California. They are played on zrock, and 106x
+tronjones49 P.O.D. and KoRn too.
Damn I love islander. They are way before their time
Islander is one of the best bands I've heard and they know how to rock out and their awesome as hell #islander
Still ahead of their time and underrated
Good music you can hear all their musical influences in their music they have their own style fucking awesome band cant wait to rock a show with em
They definitely give off a Deftones vibe.
Dope band. Heavy Deftones influence. Prob the best to come out of the victory camp for a while
"new coooolors arround me i see new coooolors"
Nu metal is not DEAD!
I was thinking the same thing, good to hear this type of sound again.
+Ubuntutors lies
+Bologna Catfish Combo of Nu Metal and Post Hardcore actually.
Gosh, I would really like to see them again. I didn't get to really appreciate the show because I heard maybe one of their songs before. I totally love who they are as a band and as people.
love the hardcore punk roots in this song.
Finally a vocalist with chipmunk free freq.
"Please don't sing clean vocals" that is always in the back on my mind when I start to listen to most of these new bands.
Jamespullharder1 I disagree, i am a huge Deftones fan and I do not hear the resemblance. (esque)
this is definitely deftones esque, chino is even a fan of the group.
Please don't listen to this guy. Sounds great. A good melody adds a whole other dimension to the the song and really gives more life to the instrumental while constant screaming just gets monotonous. That's just my opinion of course.
Darien Lux well it's only the chorus really which gives one this nice wavy but still heavy vibe
All that type of thinking is going to do for you is limit your possible interests.
LOVE THIS SONG!!! I'm just a diamond 🙏
This song is badass! 🤟🏻
Smh............these dudes refuse to suck. They are incredible live.
lol well said
Adrian velazquez Just saw them live yesterday lol. They didn't disappoint
New Colors!!!!! All around me! I see new Colors!!! I love this song! :)
Just let people have their opinions man. Different bands for different people.
Outstanding alternative track
Mayhem in July, can't wait to see them perform.!
Greenville, SC!
LET LIVE VIBES!
Yeah, I dig these guys...
Saw these guys twice. They were so fucking awesome live. I can see them being headliner in a tour in the future.
this song is killer man.
We just had these guys preform an acoustic set in our Statiom Van for a segment we call Big Band In Little Van! listen on 93.3 The Planet!
great!
Islander rocks! Put on a great show in OKC at Mayhem.
Please get these guitar and bass players back!!
I get a POD, Bullet for my Valentine, and Killswitch Engage feeling from these guys. I don't mind that at all. Plus they are Christians and spreading the word!!!
they are not Christians...and the chorus have more a Deftones feeling
Well if you look it up they are considered a Christian nu metal band. So suck it up, they like Jesus.
Forthkage the singer is the only one that is Christian in the band...
ALOUBIN drummer is wearing a whosoever shirt
I liked them a little less when I found out they were a jebus band.
Got to see these guys in Missoula Montana when they toured with p.o.d. The put on a show alright.
This song is so beautiful and underrated
I saw u guys last night at SF at the DNA Lounge. U guys rocked!
MUCH OF THE SAAAME!
just awesome!
awesome track!
there is nothing bad about this band. Quite amazing honestly. I hear the ToneDefs and PoD haha
Ha!! I like what I heard, going to see them on the Seether & Paparoach Tour in Houston.
That chorus though
I saw them at the forum for Korns summer of serenity tour on 6/21/17 they are pretty awesome
Awesome.
Man, I just discovered you through your album Violence & Destruction, and I love it! While that sounds like Nu Metal revival, this sounds like It would fit in with all the Early 2000's Screamo like Thursday and Dead Poetic. Both are killer!
thumbs up for the drummer wearing a Whosoevers shirt!
the vocalist is wearing the cap!!! they even have Sonny Sandoval sing on there new track "Death Is The Sheppard"

Cody The Whosoevers is not a cloth line , is a movement check it out... Its about JESUS , like the music of this guys.
Rock On!!!
awesome!!
Call it generic or watever you want but I love this. Why does music always have to be "unique" or "different". If it sounds good , it sounds good.
Jesus, real fucking music, how does this happen?
Saw them live they were amazing!! Keep it up!
The body movements with the structure of music remind me of chinos style as well as the sound yet at the same time it has its own progression of sound.
Whosoevers! 🙏🏼
I really want listen more of these guys :3
it was good, nice guitar tone
i got yalls album and blew my tweeters its that fn awesome thanks!
#thankyoubasegod
Sick!
apparently these guys willl be at the seether concert tomorrow .. they seem pretty hard
they sounded like if rage of the machine fuckin sucked
lol
Luke Pickens I saw them open for Seether and Papa Roach, I only got to see them play two songs. But they instantly won me over. They have an interesting sound. I liked them a lot. And to the person that said they sound like Rage Against The Machine, they really don't. That was like one of their songs (I looked up all of them) but they'e kind of alternative/thrash metal
Genial
I get a Deftones + Glassjaw vibe.
guys please, keep it up! sounds so cool, deftones or not I'd just wanna more stuff like this
cant wait to see you guys at kfmaday
Saw them live on October 2nd in Milwaukee they opened for Suicide Silence and Korn they're fucking awesome they remind me of Deftones
Me too! Yeah they definitely remind me of Deftones!
that's whats up!
i hear a major deftones influence
this actually is pretty good. i cant wait to see these guys at Mayhem Festival
i hear deftones and gojira and a few others in the distance... but i like the sound, guys. going to purchase the album now. thanks.
Good band...gonna be a good 2nd stage band to prepare me for miss may I...suicide silence and mushroomhead on 2nd stages at mayhem
I love your fucking band guys is really awesome, greetings from chile ! i love influences like deftones/POD !
i guess that song was recorded with an orange cab instead of that bugera!
nice sound i'd purchase your ep if it came in cd format other than vinyl.
In case anyone didn't already know this from listening to this song and Coconut Dracula, the lead singer/songwriter Mikey Carvajal, is a Christian. That does not, however, make them Christian band as they are not active within the Christian genre.
Coconut Dracula has nothing to do with Christianity. And what does him being of a certain faith have to do with anything?
Rsmmt1009 The only ones who would really get the imagery are Christians, but it's kinda obvious with this song.
Logan Hollis Keep thinking that. Why are they touring with Red then? They are all Christians, and their lyrics have strong ties to Christianity. They do, however, appear at secular events. (Like most christian metal/rock bands do)
Team Tornado Boy I never said they aren't christians. If anything, this song makes it somewhat obvious that they are Christians.
Logan Hollis I understand x)
And victory bring out the lame. Miss the old victory lineup.
Definitely a Glassjaw/let live/deftones vibe. Good stuff.
My brother met the singer last night at a concert
There Christians. Jesus is Lord!
Well, just the lead singer is
Brad Gordon As if it isn't obvious with this song. It's essentially his testimony.
They remind me of the old versa emerge when they had male front man
1.) Ball your right hand into a fist
2.) Move it rapidly towards your face
3.) Repeat
love this way to fucking much
the chorus gives me a nice deftones vibe
rock
If he stays with that high restrained voice when he sings "all around me, I see" and NOT when he sings "so many things I do not understand" it would be more of that deftones/chevelle/tool sound they're going for.
It's like deftones and p.o.d had a baby. 0-0
Precisely 👍👍
Now that you said that.... i kind of see it
There's not a hint of P.O.D. in this musically or vocally, lol.
Everyones saying Deftones but I hear a more P.O.D. influence, especially in their other song Coconut Dracula. They're even wearing those "The Whoevers" shirts and that's the dude from P.O.D.'s clothing line.
I hear a mix of the two of course with their own original flavor added in
Please let us know when you're coming to Ohio, we would love to see you guys live. Oh, and don't worry about these idiots trying to put you down; they're just sad that they haven't done anything with their lives.
The Whosoevers merch they are wearing is tight!
Are these the same guys from greenville sc
I listened to this for like thirty seconds then I had to detox for 42:55 by listening to highway to hell
anywhere i can find the lyrics to this? im kind of going through a transitional phase myself and this song has been played a lot but im having trouble learning the words.
so jarcor
Reminds me of Killswitch Engage. Sounds good.
This is really good, but I think they have more of a Glass Jaw/POD influence.
the singer moves and kinda sings like chino from the deftones haha
nothing negative but deftones is such an influence :P
Poison the well
Sounds awesome reminds me a little of deftones
