It’s like a Beatles rubber soul or revolver every song on this album is pretty short and sweet and has a ton of replay pop value to them , knowing how to write songs like this because of their love for Beatles and beach boys and others is so well executed

This video influenced me to go see them last night at a whim, and they absolutely swept house! The venue was packed and there were no seats and everyone was just jumping around so excited as they were playing their hearts out, really just something else. They ended on Good Vibrations and I've never seen so many actual teenagers get hyped over a Beach Boys song

I wanna go see them in October in Philly too I have no doubt that it wouldn’t be a great experience I just the essence of these two brothers, their musical influences and the execution of their own work

@lisamarieligreci-newton7804 Ай бұрын

I'm so tempted to maybe go see them in Milwaukee when they come in October. It's not far from us but we probably wouldn't bring the kids so that introduces a whole logistical thing to it. If only they would come to Madison!

I have listened to these guys so much that they dethroned the Beatles as my top spotify artist of all time. I have played Brothers of Destruction so much that "Intro" is my top song of all time. I feel like I know every little intricacy of their whole discography, but I'll still eat this up. great video edit: I want to see an interviewer ask about Brian's performance on the Little mermaid's original broadway cast recording, he gave a killer vocal on "She's in Love"

Absolutely fantastic interview, my appreciation for these guys grew so much throughout this conversation. Loved hearing them talk about the influence Foxygen had on them-that band might be over now, but I really love the way Rado took them under his wing and essentially passed them the torch. He's gotta be so proud of these guys and the creative peaks they've reached. I dunno it just feels really wholesome the way their legacies are intertwined. Got a lot more thoughts but I'll leave it there, you absolutely nailed it Elliot great job!!

I don't know why I've been sleeping on these guys. I heard a song of theirs several years ago and wasn't totally impressed, so I filed them away in the "maybe I'll check them out later" section of my brain. But I listened to their new album today and holy shit. I've been missing out! Now I have a whole catalog of music to go back and explore, so thank you for that. They're very clever and charming and remind me a lot of how artists used to be in the 60s and early 70s before music became so infected by cynicism. A more innocent time I suppose.
