have been a fan of Wilbur since 2020 and been with Lovejoy since Wilbur first talked about having a band and showing stuff on a twitch stream. its amazing to see how much they've grown and how many people now don't even know Wilbur played/plays Minecraft lol. Lovejoy is my favorite band ever

@alexfons3667 10 ай бұрын

it's literally the contrary. Everyone knows he plays minecraft, if he wasn't a famous streamer already Lovejoy would not have listeners. (I'm not saying anything about the quality of the songs, some are quite good, I'm just saying that their platform is clearly built on the already success of their star member)

Honestly , my favorite part of Lovejoy is the literary devices that are used in their songs . When Are You Alright came out , I did deep dives into every lyric , every word , and would hyperfixate on songs for hours ! But by the end of it , I find that none of it really ever mattered , as they always gave me the feeling of joy and excitement just from how amazingly written their songs are . Listening back to it over and over gain , I began to listen more to bass lines , and was inspired to learn bass myself ! I've loved Lovejoy since they began , and I am so proud to see how much they've come from where they've began . Congrats on how far they've come , and I can't wait to see what's coming next

ive been on the lovejoy scene since a little after knee deep came out and WOW- have they grown from a little indie rock band to a band thats been playing shows around the world to 10 thousands of people its almost surreal- but nonetheless im so, so proud of them. Good job lovejoy 👏 Edit: I loved hearing about the writing, how they percieve their music, and also their inspos- that's why they're my favorite band, they connect with their fans and stuff. theyre my biggest inspiration for my passion for music and im so glad I get to see them grow

@michellechair 10 ай бұрын

whenever the album is ready, im PRAYING that it'll be a concept album. wilbur is so incredible at weaving together stories especially within his songs and i feel like lovejoy has so much potential to create something that's not only a cohesive story contained within an album, but also songs that display a wider range of interest for listening. i already think all their music is great already but i guess the only qualm i have is that a lot of their songs sound very similar - not that always has to be a bad thing, of course. they have an effective style that's catchy and pleasant to listen to but i know that they have the ability to branch out more and take us listeners on a real roller-coaster of emotional storytelling with a concept album.

I remember when I first heard of Lovejoy and listened to Taunt and thought it was okay, then listened to the ep, and I fell in love with this band and their music, and now 2 years later they have a discography full of bangers and this new one is once again a hit. I fucking adore these guys

@adriiimcc 10 ай бұрын

I think they've very clearly achieved that volume objective they will talking about, every single time I listen to a lovejoy song I scream it out loud even if its just singing internally I'm screaming it, if that makes sense lol and the ones that I've heard live whenever I listen to them again they directly teleport me to the live show I watched :)
