Hi, I’m japanese and I really like their artworks. Particularly I love “please be nice” more than any Midwest emo musics. Don’t get me wrong.I mean please be nice is the first one I’ve ever listened in my life.I wish Camping in Alaska became popular among Japanese as well. Anyway I really thank to you for making this video.😊

im central american, i discovered this band on youtube while ignoring my teacher on computer class when i was in high school. i feel like i found it just at the right time

I am very proud to say my nephew is a member of the band now. He tells me the tour they are on now is going great.

wow I went to highschool with like everyone in that first shot.

Legends

I have a feeling that Eggbeater Jesus is going to be a LEGENDARY album. Especially after hearing Icarus.

All time favorite band, so sad it didnt blow up

This made me so happy that someone is finally covering a band that deserves all the recognition they've been getting as of late. I remember meeting Austin in high school (he was a grade above me) and thinking "this guy is something special" I didn't actually listen to them until after high school because I was somewhat sheltered but going back and listening I can't help but be proud that friends of mine from my hometown made such beautiful music together that people all over the world have heard. Good job with this video!!

WE GOT NEWS! THEY ARE ON SPOTIFY NOW!! WOOOOOO

Thank you for covering them, man. They're so close to my heart and your video is great.

Watching this knowing I am going to see them live tomorrow hits different.

one of bands i absolutely fell in love with. so glad someone finally made a video about them

Hell yeah! Proud to know this man and play with the drummer in Obed-Edom. please be nice continues to amaze and soothe me even well into my 30s. I love hearing my boys, and it's really special seeing how big of an impact their music and soul has on people outside of our little Alabama town. I really, really appreciate this video.

Im from their home town, so glad you made this… theyre playing this december, couldnt be more excited

Great video man. Its crazy such a pinnacle of midwest emo never even toured. To me its like a local bands fantasy. They played for a while, wrote some awesome music played a couple local shows, threw a few videos up on you tube then just kinda fizzled out only to have thier music completely blow up on line and become a staple of emo known worldwide. These guys should realize that this is a fantasy of many diy musicians come to life and how amazingly blessed they are. A resurgence now would be a genius move and a damn near guaranteed comeback success story. If I owned a record label I'd be all over these guys begging for a reunion and if I were these guys I'd be working my ass off perfecting my live show and preparing for the resurgence of a lifetime!!!! Cuz i honesty feel if they want it, its there for the taking. Maybe start with a comeback announcment and live performance at Furnest Fest 2023 or 24.

Update this because we have released new music.

Bathe is the highlight of their catalog to me

I seen them live and they and there music is even more beautiful in person

criminally underated band

I was a little late to the emo genre, but these guys were one of the first bands that I really attached to. It was even cooler to find out that they were from Alabama, as well. Got to see them in Atlanta a few months back. Super solid show and everyone there was on the same page like I haven't seen at another show. Just like, hearing everyone start singing "c u in da ballpit" while they were tuning up was just nuts. They've really inspired the band that I'm in and I'd love to open for them, one day.

Proud to say camping in Alaska is my favorite emo band

Camping in Alaska is hugely inspirational to me as an artist, and they had a pretty big impact on my band as well, hell, we were covering one of their songs for a while. Pretty awesome band

Good good stuff stuff, right here. Always wondered more about them.

i found this band in 7th grade. i used to skate through a parking lot with a bunch of hills listening to please be nice. specifically “i just want to kickflip into the sun and disappear”. and “C U in da ballpit” so many good times listening to this band. it’s nostalgic every time i listen to them. they will forever have a place in my heart. ❤️

I listened to Please Be Nice almost every day in 2016 during my senior year of HS. Such a good album.

Whoa...I never thought I'd see a documentary about this band. Good shit

Just came across this channel after surfing for more Camping in Alaska. Thank you for the "insight" on what they are all really about. It also brought me to appreciate more of their music than just Please be Nice, which changed my life. But thank you for showing me some of Austin's story and how it came to be.

Really hoping to go see these guys in Birmingham come September this year 😭🖤🖤🖤

I just saw them two days ago best show ever..

They recently were on a podcast and talked about their beginnings and how members met and the initial roster formed

I watched this video so many times but last night I finally got to see them at 924 Gilman in Berkeley CA for the first time for the please be nice 10 year anniversary tour and they were amazing and everything I wished for

I stg if this existed while I was in high school I’d lose it

discovered them last year and bought please be nice on vinyl! :D

Great band

Damn I'm glad someone made this video

You never mentioned “c u in da ballpit” man

I love the demo of "why can't i be snowing?"

My sons name is Austin David that’s funny I love this band I never knew I can lie and say I named him after him.

I'm so happy CIA is on Spotify now, this video is a pure fire exclamation point on the resurgence of one of my favorite bands ever of all

A Midwest emo video essay channel? This is everything I could’ve ever wanted

CAMPING IN ALASKA IS FUCKING AMAZING

Great freaking job !! This video has been needed

that was great

Amazingly well done video, thank you!

🍀

anyone else here cause camping in alaska got removed from spotify?

One of the best Southern Emo bands to ever do it. Talk to Austin a handful of times in the midwest emo group on fb back in the day and he was always super cool. Massive guitar influence for me despite stepping way from emo revival/midwest emo(im from the midwest) music

Finally some love for cia apart from those 2 reddit posts.

Omg thank god this exist

Great video dude I love cia ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I need to know everything about this band.

💕

Awesome

new stuff soon yay

thank u for this

Can we have story of AGE SIXTEEN? They were one of my favorite bands

cool. now do a story of Merchant Dicks

6:00 the longer haired guy with the beard looks so much like my older brother it might just be him , AND IS THAT ASMONGOLD TO HIS RIGHT?

Do you know if they ever toured? If they didn't I think they might be the all time most popular emo band to never tour

Half the reason i like Please Be Nice over say Bathe for example is because the audio quality. Bathe sounds like shit compared to Please Be Nice. Idk how their demo/ep/whatever managed to be recorded and mixed better than their "debut album". I would've rerecorded it entirely under those circumstances

POV: ur from Alaska 😂

lmao you have the same name as my brother

I made tattoo with please be nice albom cover on my hand, my dream is meet person who will recognise it irl

There songs were soo honest and raw they didn't blow up because people couldn't handle the truth in there feelings 🤟❤️

his despair over the post please be nice stuff is weird to me because everyone ive ever played music with was in a band for each day of the week that were as drastically different as possible. you'd have black metal guys in the same room as rappers just because of how few people in town were creative. just make a band called the francis bacons and don't market it to twinkle fans austin i'll listen to it. i'll follow you to hell.

cool video

Great band
