Evan wrote about “New Friends” in his reddit AMA in March 2016. "i think new friends is in part about how when you connect yourself deeply to a person sometimes it’s at the exclusion of your other people. & what happens when you and your partner break up? lookin up once the dust has settled and realizing you forgot to water your other relationships & now they’re wilty"
There's this moment at 1:20 that I keep playing back. Evan's vocals are almost delayed by a quarter beat, and it sounds so frickin awesome! Super stylistic, something I'm not used to. It has this folky county quality I just can't put into words that works so well.
I think they filmed this at the south mountain reservation in new Jersey. Pretty sure there's a cool little waterfall not too far from where they're sitting
Don't know why these guys aren't famous. Really great stuff. Sad to see them go through this time period and not make multimillions of dollars. Our culture sucks.
Speaking of alt-country, I do wonder if Evan's brand of musical facial mannerisms (e.g. overt overbite at 0:16, rhythmic head bobbing at 0:26) are consciously or unconsciously inspired by Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses) - or maybe belong to a broader tradition before them? I might be tempted to think such a comparison is imagined, superfluous, but as a musician and performer myself, I'm not so sure; I think we get these kinds of habits from other performers as often as we get them anywhere else. Either way, you love to see it.
Soketimes i get men. I get the point of withsrwwing from everyone. The person i love the most has bexome me because i know rhats what you love about me anyway
How strange is it that pop punk kids love this band. Don't get me wrong they're amazing but sonically they don't fit anywhere in the pop punk or emo scene
you make all these stupid ass genres why does it matter who listens to it just enjoy the music not the stupid ass over-confusing genre it is. you can learn the genre of every song
"What's the worst that could happen? The end of summer and I'm still in love with her" always rips me apart
maybe my favorite line on the record
It’s the worst that could happen
Same as.
Been there.
Same

How come I never see these guys playing when I go for a hike? That would be so cool to run into them.
This was the first Pinegrove I heard and I was impressed enough to search for other stuff and boy have I enjoyed them since.
The banjo thing definitely turns me on, hope they'll use it in more songs, Cardinal was excellent!
fucking hyped that these dudes just signed to RFC, keep a look out for their re-release because this shit is killer!!
this is such a good raw video, I always come back to it
same here
Such a melancholic happiness to this one. It’s beautiful I cry almost every time I listen to pine grove. It’s life.
if that capo was any lower he'd be pickin it up off the ground
this band kills it so hard. I've watched this video at least 10 times today.
What's it like being in 2016
that scream at 2:06 is my life
It starts as a scream and then builds into a " AH HELL "
yes.
Refreshing. Great expressive voice with control. You have a new fan in me
the end of summer and im still in love with her... damn that fucked me up
i enjoy every single moment that i'm vibing to this song. it's simple: turn it on and feel good!!! love
pinegrove has been the only thing that's been really getting me through it lately
real
I wish this version was on iTunes. Brings me to tears every time I listen to it.
So good!! Both the melody and the lyrics. Love this song.
"I resolve to make new friends,
I liked my old ones,
But I fucked up so I'll start again"
This band is a gift to the earth.
I think they filmed this at the south mountain reservation in new Jersey. Pretty sure there's a cool little waterfall not too far from where they're sitting
This sends goosebumps through my whole body
this is so good i can't even describe
so many parts of this give me the goosebumps! love it so much
so much love for this song and its lyrics and this band and this voice and this purpose
2:06-2:08 ....he is the cutest human on earth

Can some one post the chords to this
Its an a chord hammer onto 4th fret and D chord
Don't know why these guys aren't famous. Really great stuff. Sad to see them go through this time period and not make multimillions of dollars. Our culture sucks.
Kills it! Love!
capo on 10th fret with no cutaway😰
but not too far away from friends!
Who does his voice remind me of? Jason Molina?
You guys remind me a of a cross between The Lumineers and Band of Horses. Keep it up!!
Steven Crowder on Banjo
Pine Grove, PA?
+unclegrabby666 theyre from Montclair, NJ
has markiplier always played banjo?
Any idea on what Banjo he has?
Anyone know what tuning he's in?
Standard
Everything is a quarter step up from standard, capo on 10th fret.
Peter evans
This made me spit my drink out
heavy capo on this one. might as well be playing a ukulele tbh

Evan reminds me of this guy I used to be with in high school.. MY TYPE
How strange is it that pop punk kids love this band. Don't get me wrong they're amazing but sonically they don't fit anywhere in the pop punk or emo scene
they're is definitely some influence from more Midwest, mathy emo on songs like Old Friends
+Robert Paulson I'd say they've got more of an country influenced indie vibe over emo to be honest
I would say they're kind of folk/Appalachian punk adjacent, so I can see the connection.
i completely disagree. there is a huge overlap, especially with his voice and vocal style in general.
you make all these stupid ass genres why does it matter who listens to it just enjoy the music not the stupid ass over-confusing genre it is. you can learn the genre of every song
I’m bummed about his accusation it ruined his career loved this band
can someone post the chords
I just posted a pinegrove cover, come check it out!
i would really appreciate it :) PINEGROVE FUCKING RULES!
Kid music is corny
love it
