Anyone heard of these guys? Just saw this performance pop up on YouTube and it’s awesome.

Pretty cool.

I'd seen the show advertised and it sounded like something I'd be interested in but now it's sold out. Damn.

Saw them live twice. First time it was a bit boring, second time I knew the songs and it was great. There's a lot of really good stuff all sort of going on at once to create something pretty fresh, as far as 2019 guitar-based rock bands go.

Necrobump'd because:

Just watched this and I am speechless.
I think "Raising the bar" is an appropriate definition.
The musicianship, the songwriting, the sounds, the dynamics.

Yeah I watched this last night and had a similar reaction.
I wasn't fond of their live stuff until now, it all seemed a bit sloppy to me, but fuck they've gotten good.
'Hogwash' and 'Dethroned' in particular I really love.

London scene seems pretty exciting right now? These guys, Black Country New Road, Squid, a bunch of others. Avant rock zoomers everywhere, I love it.

I saw some new tour dates posted a few days ago.
Apparently in december they'll be playing a show really close to where i live. We'll see how pandemic things evolve by then, but if they do it, i'll be there. :)*
