Hey Paz! To shorten the time to the next reaction - try this band, they need some views. ruclips.net/video/EnzTPlTBjCI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Ctghs-bCqhA/видео.html
@@conditionsunderground great tracks, but it's funny that in the first song I could hear a mixture of Spiritbox and Rolo Tomassi, but on the second it was IWABO and Rolo Tomassi, due to the more noodley guitar parts..I have heard of them, but this is my first listen to them, thanks for sending these 🙂🤘
@@pazwretzky4673 Their single "Clsr." from 2020 is nice too. I think you are right with their sound, I can hear that. Do you like the newest Rolo release "Closer" , btw? very different single, again. The album will be very interesting for me. Drip is the best one so far.
@@conditionsunderground I do like the new Rolo song, and I look forward to the new album...Rolo Tomassi were like an acquired taste for me when I first heard them, but they have a very unique sound, a beautiful and aggressive sound which I enjoy
Great reaction. Used to blast this song going to UH main...doing 90 mph on 45. After all these years, still my favorite band. Keep digging into their catalog. You won't be disappointed.
This was from their first album in 1987, still very punk-influenced. Later music became more pop-influence but still very good. As others have said, "Joey" was a huge hit, along with " Walking In London", "Bloodletting" and "Tomorrow, Wendy". Look also for their cover of Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" from the soundtrack to the movie "Pump Up The Volume". Great videos to it here ruclips.net/video/l5Fb4K8pNmg/видео.html (Official video) and here ruclips.net/video/axnCMV-on9Q/видео.html (acoustic version - amazing vocals)
You definitely hit Concrete Blonde's early sound here. If ya go forward with Concrete Blonde, (and I will subscribe just to see if you do) Give the following songs a try: Caroline, with video Little Conversations, Scene of a Perfect Crime City Screaming (about her addiction) Ghost of a Texas Man God is a Bullet, Mexican Moon Roxy Concreate blonde is an under-rated band. Very glad you have reacted to the band. Keep up the great work. Your fans enjoy the content you bring. Ken
Their song "Tomorrow, Wendy" is a great example of their mellow side, but the song still packs a punch both sonically and message-wise. It was written by a friend of the band about a woman who had AIDS back when AIDS was still a death sentence back in the late 80s. There's no official music video as I don't think it was ever released as a single. There are live performances, but my personal preference is for studio recordings. (Oddly, the studio recording, even the 2010 remaster, has inconsistent volume which seems more like a mistake than an artistic choice.) Here's a link to a lyric video ruclips.net/video/NCwIHwSt8RU/видео.html and a link to a video with just a still image of the album cover with the studio recording ruclips.net/video/zsEUcRHlS0w/видео.html
Joey was their biggest hit in the USA, but few good songs from them, specially in the 90's in my opinion. Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) among the ones i like the most. Check out Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, is one of the rock bands i enjoy now. Cupid's Arrow my favorite, but no music video for the song & is the #1 from them on Spotify. Other great songs with music videos: Kitty Sucker, Lullaby & Crowbar.
Hey man, just popping by to mention that Shadow of Intent's new album is out now, and most of the songs are even better than the singles, it really is a masterpiece and I highly suggest checking it out. Top recommendations, or top bangers: Farewell, Saurian King, Blood in the Sands of Time.
@@evanblake5252 That's the whole problem with me and requests, I do want to do every single one, which is why the list is so long lol. FYI, I just recorded the reaction to Farewell, and OMG. I think this is the best SOI song I've ever heard. Literal goose bumps man
@@Yeedeed It's incredible huh? Man they really hit home with the non-singles, as good as the singles were. And that's interesting to hear. Good luck on your request list, must be a lot to take in. Props for going through so much material.
I was more of a "God is a Bullet" guy. If you're checking out thse indie artists, take "Stars" by Hum for a spin. Early 90s group. Their sound is like Soundgarden meets Smashing Pumpkins.
I couldn't stop smiling during this reaction Mike, because pretty much everything you touched on in this song is exactly why I love it

Yo... remember the movie The Hidden?
Love the song and video...Johnette is adorable as usual.
Two of their best songs have to be "Tomorrow, Wendy" and "Joey". Her voice is haunting.
Concrete Blonde, Bloodletting is fire from beginning to end. I think "Caroline" might be my favorite song from that album!
Nice and bouncy! I liked the jangly guitar part near the end too.
Love C.B.
Nice Punk sound, love it!

Caroline, with video
Little Conversations,

Great selection there. The only one I would add is The Beast. Possibly their hardest rock song.

Sorry for the wait my man, it's time to get one on the channel!
@@Yeedeed Cool. And don't worry about it. I'm sure you have tons of requests, and probably don't want to do every single one anyway.

I didn´t know them.
Check out God is a Bullet
I was more of a "God is a Bullet" guy.

Check out "Tomorrow Wendy"
If you like this one I think you would like Run, Run, Run or god is a bullet a lot too
