And on this month's What You heard, we are kicking things off with a brand new single from Kings of Leon. This song is called Mustang.
Starting point is 00:01:33 We can go to Sylvan Park and kick over trash cans. And it's call it next to you. Love to see it, Q. I know, man. I want to give a shout out. I want to give a shout out to Tyler, a friend of the show, host and creator of I turn my podcast on the Spoon podcast for turning us on to this. Because, I mean, you and I both, dude, we've been sleeping on.
Starting point is 00:04:16 of Leon for years now. And yeah, man, I love to see this, dude. I love the feeling of being pumped about these boys again, dude. It's been too long. Yeah. I mean, they had some, I mean, there was some good stuff on, oh, is it, walls, man. I think there's at least one good song on on each of the albums, you know, there was something that, like, that I, that I was interested in. Like it wasn't, it wasn't like I was completely gone. I think mechanical bull. I mean, shit, that was almost a decade ago. That was a decade ago.
Starting point is 00:04:51 All right. Yeah, it's been a while. I mean, I think they put something out on, yeah, in 2021. I think you brought something to what you heard. Yes. I don't remember what the song was. Yeah. So like, it's like they've been there, but like we've been ignoring them.
Starting point is 00:05:06 They've been there, but I, yeah. I mean, it's one of those things that we've, we. speak negatively of with fans of, with music fans of a particular band that I myself admit have been doing with this group. And that like, you know, I just, I long for the days of youth and young manhood. And what was the album after that one?
Starting point is 00:05:34 Aha shake heartbreak. Yes. So like, I'm, I stopped, I stopped paying attention to them. because they continued to evolve with their sound, you know? And it just, I think it just, I think I was heartbroken. You know, like, it was like I lost, a relationship had ended. And I wasn't ready to, to continue listening to them with what they'd evolved to over time. Yeah, it happens all the time with bands, right?
Starting point is 00:06:02 Like, you fall in love with, you know, their debut material or something like that. Like the band that they, they were when they were, like, you know, hungry and, like, before they really kind of establish themselves and then inevitably like a record label or a record deal happens and then sometimes they change you know um and i know that these particular boys um you know they they skyrocketed man in popularity they got huge oh yeah and that for sure an impact um but yeah the band that we fell in love with they just had man they're just everything about them, man. Like their story, like, their backstory was compelling, like, the way that they
Starting point is 00:06:44 dressed and looked and, like, you know, the way that they presented themselves on stage and stuff. It was just, it was just the perfect band at that time, like in 2003, like, kind of bringing back the Southern rock kind of. Yeah, man. Their dad was like a traveling. A traveling preacher. Like speaking in tongues evangelical preacher.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Yeah. Yeah, Dan. And they're, you know, they're all, I think they're all brothers. or one of them is a cousin. Yeah, three brothers and a cousin. Yeah. And, dude, I love to see that they're still still those four guys, you know?
Starting point is 00:07:16 Yeah, it's all them. And, yeah, I don't know if they've been through a lot together, too, in the last decade. Definitely. What do you think of the song, dude? It was good. I love the video. I love to see it.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Yeah, the video's really cool. Yeah. Yeah, I like that guitar riff. Yeah. Yeah, man. And his voice, dude, dude, It's still there. It's still, in all its glory, he hasn't changed his vocal delivery at all.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Yeah. Yeah, he's got such a great voice. Yeah, so I don't know. Let's see. So they've got a full-length, a new album coming out May 10th called Can We Please Have Fun? So this song, Musting is going to show up on that. All right. And that's how we're kicking off our March.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I'm sorry. April? No, it's March. No, March. It's still March. I'm still getting used to us dropping these once a month. and we're recording it in the month that it comes out too. Yeah, well, you know, I wait until like the last day of the month to put this out.
Starting point is 00:08:13 So, yeah, it is our March episode. But, you know, it could very well be April today, Q. But now, this should drop the last day of March at least. But yeah, this is our March what you heard. Yeah, that's a good way to start us off, Q. So if you're new to the show, hey, how's it going? Thanks for tuning in. So this is our What You Heard episode format.
Starting point is 00:08:38 So once a month we have a what we call our mixtape episodes. So it's just five tracks from each of us. No rules on the genre or the decade. It's just whatever we've been listening to since the last What You Heard episode, basically. So I believe you're kicking us off this month queue. So why don't we just dive right into tunes here, man? All right, so I think this was off mic. I shared a few songs or maybe just one from this YouTuber named Mac Glocki.
Starting point is 00:09:13 He is really good at taking a song and spinning it and playing it in the style of another artist. He's really good at it. And this is down with the sickness by distort. if Nirvana wrote it. I feel like we need to play a little bit of down with the sickness. What do you think? I love, dude. I would love it. Okay, let's do it. This is a classic song, man.
Starting point is 00:09:46 And this is, okay, would this be considered new metal? We were talking about that last week. Yeah, definitely. Okay, cool. So, yeah, so I don't know, chances are if you didn't, if you aren't in our age group and didn't, you know, if you weren't in middle school and there, late 90s, early 2000s, you might not be familiar with the song. And that goes with a lot of new little pants, I think. This opening, this opening line, this intro, it's iconic.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Yeah. So we'll just play a little bit of this, and then we'll play Mac Glocky's version of it. All right, here we go. This is disturbed down with the sickness. You've woken up the demon in me. I bet this was playing on repeat in a bunch of Hot Topics around that time. Oh, God. It still plays at Hot Topics.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Right. Okay. So, yeah, if you haven't heard that, you know, that's, I would be surprised if you hadn't heard that yet. But, yeah, it's good to hear the song from the OG artist before we hear this cover here. Yeah, man. This is, okay, again, so this is reimagined as though Nirvana wrote the song. And, yeah, man, this is like. This gave me chills.
Starting point is 00:12:53 You know, it's just spot on. It just, yeah, here we go. All right, so here is Mac Glocki's reimagination of it in the style of Nirvana. Here we go. Pretty close, cute. Pretty close. You can't quite hit the Cobain, you know, vocal delivery, but he's doing a good job. The guitar strumming, like the chords and stuff like that, like, you know, spot on.
Starting point is 00:15:14 They're great reimagining stuff the song regardless of if he's trying to mimic the exact vocal stylings No, it's impressive, man. Delivery. You showed me a video where he's doing a song in like nine different styles and it's, I mean, yeah, it's impressive. Yeah, it's really cool. He's got a lot of great content like this.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yeah, he's super, and he leans towards the grungy side of things and a lot of new metal. He also does a lot of. of deaf tones really. Yeah. I saw that. Yeah, that's interesting. All right, man.
Starting point is 00:15:49 So that's how I'm kicking it off. And I'm going to pass it on to you. Is this going to be a 180, brother? No, not really. I definitely have a 180 from that, but I want to save that one for later. So it'll probably be a 180 from whatever song you play that I play after, that this song plays after, right?
Starting point is 00:16:07 But we'll save that for later. So, man, I don't remember how I came across this record, but it's just been on heavy repeat lately, Q. I've never heard of this band before. It's a group called Ray, W-R-A-Y. And they put out this record in 2020 called Stream of Youth slash Blank World. And I'm going to play a track off of this record. Dude, this song's great, man.
Starting point is 00:16:34 This whole record's awesome. This song is called Limelight. Love it every second of it, man. this style of dream pop if you want to call it that that this is up there for me with my favorite just i can listen to this kind of stuff whenever yeah wherever and i'm going to love it yeah well what's interesting about this record is that that's the most i'd say that song is the most jangle poppy with that guitar and stuff like that yeah it has a lot of different styles on it. But for the most part, I would, yeah, I'd put it under the dream pop umbrella, but they do a lot of
Starting point is 00:19:49 interesting things on this record. But yeah, just a great song. That riff had me from the beginning, you know, right from the jump. I was like, yep, I'm not like this song. I could tell from that guitar riff. And the little, like, keyboard ditty. Yeah. I was getting like some cars vibes. Is that weird? Hmm. I guess I can see that with maybe the same. I'm trying to think of, yeah, I'm trying to think of who else. Like, but that, that era. Yeah. Yeah. I could see that. That was great, man. Well, Q up this record, dude. Q.
Starting point is 00:20:20 I've already got saved. It's a true no-filler album, for sure. Awesome. So that band was called Ray, W-R-A-Y. That song was called Limelight off of their 2020 record Stream of Youth Blank World. I'm going to throw it back to you, Q. What do you got for us here? All right.
Starting point is 00:20:38 I'm trying to think if I want to stick in that pocket. I mean, that's our pocket. man, that's where we like to live. So I wouldn't be surprised if you had a good follow-up to that. All right, so this is just some more dream poppy goodness, okay? Okay. Do I even need to say it? You know, that's what, that's what we do here.
Starting point is 00:21:03 That's pretty much all that we play is some variant of shoegays. And I'm bringing another one trap. And it's in that pocket where it's kind of jangly pop, kind of, you know, it sounds very 80s. In fact, this band is called the 1981, okay? Okay. Right on the nose. Got it. This is a great, great track.
Starting point is 00:21:23 The album's called Move On from 2023. This song is called Mona Lisa. That was awesome. I wouldn't even, I mean, there's definitely dream pop elements in it, but I would almost put that as just like. I take it back. I mean, I mean, maybe, well, what does Band Camp say? That's what I like about Band Camp. Yeah, and you know what?
Starting point is 00:23:22 Here's the thing. I'm bummed out because I was reading an article I mean it's jangley on band camp that was lumping together a bunch of great finds in this vein and they were all kind of put under the umbrella of Dreampop and Shugays this was one of the groups or this album let's say I'll just say this album I haven't had a chance to listen to this album as a whole
Starting point is 00:23:45 so maybe the whole the album is more Dreampoppy or more Shugays but this track yeah I wouldn't call it that necessarily, but yeah, let's see. So they call themselves Brock Buzzpop indie Power Pop. Okay, definitely 80s. I mean, I don't know if that's, if they, if they went with that name for the group because they feel that way about themselves. Okay, hey, here's a good little, here's a good little sentence here. Drawing influence from the past, but avoiding revival. The 1980s. or a pop band. I like that.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I like that phrase. I like that. Yeah. So again, that's the 1981 song is called Mona Lisa from Move On. And hey, why don't we move on to the next song? Try what you got. Look at that. You're a professional with that kind of segue way.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Perfect. All right. Well, I got this, I got an awesome track here, Q. Linapros from a very well-known 80s new wave syntho band. Hey. Which is a perfect transition. Dude. So this band is called Talk Talk.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I feel like we've been needing to cover this band for a while now, dude. Yeah. Well, here we go. Our buddy Larry, who was on the show, long time ago, he stressed the need for us to cover this band too. Okay. Maybe we should do it. Maybe we could cover this record at some point. Maybe we could try to get him back on, Q.
Starting point is 00:25:18 That would be awesome. So this record is called It's My Lever. life, which is the song that most people probably know from Talk Talk. You either know it because you like, because you heard the no doubt cover version of the song first back in the back of the day. But yeah, this is the band that made that track. And man, what a perfect cover too, man. No doubt's cover of that song. It's amazing. Yeah. But this is this is the group that they wrote that song. But yeah, it's just a, you know, like I said, this is a iconic, uh, New Wave group from the 80s.
Starting point is 00:25:54 So I'm just going to let the song do the talking. And man, I was really impressed with this record, man. I could see why Larry told us to listen to this years ago. And well, here I am. Years later listening to it. This song is called Tomorrow Started. That song slaps, dude. And I think that's the first time I ever used that phrase.
Starting point is 00:29:00 But it slaps. Goosepumps cue. really good man amazing right i mean come on man this is what is both frustrating but also beautiful the beautiful thing about music it's just like you're telling me that i could have been listening to this literally my entire life because it's got on 1984 you're telling me my parents could have played this to me while i was in the womb yeah come on dad Fuck on But yeah
Starting point is 00:29:30 I mean awesome right Shit Yeah Vocal really great I mean can you imagine seeing that Live I'm trying to you man And yeah
Starting point is 00:29:39 I mean the Everything Fucking everything about it was perfect dude Yeah That's a great track Dude how they kind of just He kind of just drops it You know the music everything
Starting point is 00:29:52 Just stops in it He holds on to that Long enough And you know that everything's coming back. You know it. And you're just like waiting there. And you're just like, there it is. And it's so satisfying when it happens.
Starting point is 00:30:06 That's what we like about. We've talked about layering and how we love it when a good down tempo track, you know, ads and then takes away layers and stuff like that. I mean, it's just a good songwriting, basically. But yeah, perfect song. So that again was called Tomorrow Started off of Talk Talks, 1984 record. It's my life. Really good.
Starting point is 00:30:29 All right, Q. Good luck following that one. I think I can top. I don't know if I can top it. I don't know about that. I can top it, but I can keep us in that vein and keep those flows, those vibes going. Do it. All right, Traff, so I reached out to you for your
Starting point is 00:30:47 bottomless amount of wisdom in this category, Trash. I'm just honored right now. I think you know where I'm, that I've influenced you here. So, Trive, you're a, would you call yourself a coder? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Yes, I would call myself that here, professionally. Okay. Well, okay, you're not customer facing. Fuck no. Thank God. I know. You're lucky, dude. I'm trying to get out of that, man.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Anyways, yeah, you, you lean a heavy on the IDM or the Yeah. Depending on the mood I'm in, yeah. Let me tell you what I'm getting that, brother. All right. Just get through it already. So I reached out to you and I said, Travis, I'm really getting into this kind of like
Starting point is 00:31:40 dance four on the floor. I don't know, call it down tempo, call it IDM, but I'm looking for this particular flavor. And you said, well, at first you said, seeking your sage wisdom on IDM. Okay. Yeah, you just had to get that. You just had to get that on record. Yeah, I wanted to put that out there. Yep, Sage.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I said, I said, put these in your pipe and smoke them. And I said, there it is. There it is. That's it, drive. Now, did you share with me Sleepy Girls by Yagia? I have shared that with you at some point in my life. Okay, well, I must have revisited it. I love that record.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Dude. And you know what I love about it? Track 13. It's continuous. The continuous mix. Yes, yes. Mm-hmm. Anyways, I'm not bringing a song from that.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Oh, bummer. But I was just. set in the stage for you, Trave. Okay. As to what, so I've been looking, searching for stuff. Like, I'm talking, it's very... So you're looking for more particular, like, records like that? Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Okay. And I found an artist called Micro Lot. Please, don't know if I've heard them before. Awesome. Microlo. So here's the problem. I do not know what song to bring from this album. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:48 So, yeah, I don't know yet, Travis, because this is important to me. Just go with what your heart's going. That I share a song that you're like, wow. And that our listeners are like, wow. If it's like, yeah, yeah. It is. I'm going to love it. And I got news for you, dude.
Starting point is 00:33:05 I got the perfect follow-up for this. Awesome. Okay. I think I got it, bro. I can tell already that it's going to be a perfect follow-up. And you're going to love this track that I'm bringing up. And here's what I'm hoping, Trev. You know, later on tonight and tomorrow, you send me more albums in this fan.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Because all day. Like I said, sage wisdom. All day I got you, dude. Here we go. Microlot, this song is called Watercolor. That is my bread and my butter, dude. That is it. I love this kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:36 And that specifically, that type of electronic song, there's like an industrial kind of vibe to it. You know what I mean? Yeah. There's that reverb. It feels like, you know, like you're just, the imagery that you conjure up in your mind, at least, just feels like, you know, it's a night drive kind of song, you know what I mean? The layering, like the buildup, it's so slowly, like, it's almost like you're hearing the artists create the track in real time.
Starting point is 00:37:13 You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know what you mean. You know, like you start with, you start with the basic underlying beat, which is always that four on the floor, bass line, bass drum, beat, and you build it from there. And that's exactly what you're hearing. Like, yeah, it feels like you're hearing it get created while you're listening to it. It's really cool. And you just, you don't know where it's going to go. Yeah, it's great, great stuff. And it's a nearly eight and a half, or nearly nine minute track. Same with that this whole album is, you know, there's no song under six minutes and they all just
Starting point is 00:37:49 kind of built like this. So it's great for, for, you know, coding or dicking around, dicking around on AWS, which is what I get to do for a living. And that's what it's, that's what it's great for, just like, you know, just something that you're doing, you know, where you can, not where you can zone out, but like it's, it's just a good, it keeps you going, man. It helps with focus, you know what I mean? Yeah, it helps keep it focused. And boy do I got a great track to follow that up with Q. Yeah, man. Shout out to whoever decides what music to play at the Uniclo clothing store.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Never been there before, but I was walking through. Kara was shopping there. We went to Disney World's Q. I don't know if I told this on Mike last week. But we were at Disney and Disney has this shopping dining thing that's completely separate from the parks. It's called Disney Springs. And so there was a store we'd never been to.
Starting point is 00:38:46 So we were walking through. and you know if you're a music clever you got to have shazam at the ready you know what I mean you know this as well as I do and this song came on I was like man this is dope so I shazammed it and man this record is awesome and this artist is amazing um so her name is Nabiha Iqbal and this record is just all over the place man there's some dream pop on here she's very eclectic covers a lot of different styles and this song It's kind of a classic like a nightclub type song. And I feel like we're, from the song you just played to this one I'm playing right now,
Starting point is 00:39:25 dude, I feel like we're doing like a DJ say right now, you know? Yeah. All right. So again, this artist is named Naviha Iqbal. This song is called Gentle Heart. I like that vocal style. Dude, I just learned something new. Apparently that style falls under this new genre.
Starting point is 00:43:11 I've never heard of called Cold Wave that emerged in Europe in the late 70s characterized by its detached lyrical tone. Yeah, love it, dude. That's in the same vein as far as like the four on the floor. Yes, totally, totally. And I really like that style. It sounds like early 80s nightclub.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Yeah. Early 80s almost like that 808, you know, style of electronic drum beats, stuff like that. So shout out to her again. So Nabi Ha Iqbal, she sounds like a freaking amazing person. She was, she's a writer and a broadcaster from London. She started out as a human rights lawyer. And that's when she started developing music.
Starting point is 00:43:56 So again, that song was called Gentle Heart by Nabiha Iqbal offer for a 2023 record Dreamer. And what do we? I feel like we've turned into the no filler nightclub here. What do we got? What's next here? Are we going to 180? Or we're going to stay in this pocket? Because we're not in this pocket very often, Q. We're not. Let's stay in it. Okay. Well, I'm going to take us out on the next track. Okay. All right, man. So I've actually brought a track of this artist before, maybe a couple
Starting point is 00:44:28 years back. Bella Boo was the artist. She is in the same vein. And yeah, this is another one of I was like, what song do I play? Because that song had lyrics, and this is an album that has both instrumental, more the same, like very dancey 80s kind of stuff that's instrumental. But then it has a lot of, so she has artists featured on her tracks that sing. Otherwise, she just does instrumental stuff. All right, dude, I'm going to go with this one. So, yeah, I think you can re.
Starting point is 00:45:06 you're really going to like this, dude. I think it flows well from what we've been playing as we stick in this van, dude. Like you said, we don't visit it often, but I think it's kind of going to have more of this, dude, more of the same because I'm getting into this stuff, finally. I got to tell you, man, like this is, yeah, I've talked about this before, like my musical preferences kind of swing throughout the year. And I'm, I am back in this general area right now. So, yeah, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:45:34 We'll see. All right, man. And so this is an album of hers called Dreamy Spacey Blue from 2023. This song is called Orange. The trumpet makes it, makes it different, you. Yeah, this might be like her most, like, expansive and, like, large production kind of song. And in the sense that, like, that trumpet is thrown in there and all that stuff on. And that's, that's, that's, that's, that goes beyond your simple kind of.
Starting point is 00:49:05 electronic song, dance song. Yeah. Yeah. It's cool. Very interesting. Really cool, dude. Lots of very different from track to track, kind of like what you're saying about that last artist you brought.
Starting point is 00:49:16 But all in the same vein, you know, it kind of comes, it all goes back to that, you know, four in the floor, for the most part, kind of underlying dance beat. Yeah, man. Wow. This is the, for sure, the most dance heavy, like, just straight up. down tempo-ish idea and kind of what you heard that we've done probably ever as far as back-to-back-to-back tracks like this now i've enjoyed i will say that we have we have done an episode devoted to electronic music remember when we did yeah we did a few of those well we did under yeah we did underworld we did
Starting point is 00:49:56 Underworld, and we did Theaver Corporation. We did another group, I think Quantic is what we did. Was it quantic or was it? Yeah, I think it was Quantic. Time was the enemy? Yeah, but I think we also did like a mixtape style episode where we just did. Yeah, yeah. Maybe we should do that again. That'd be fun. Well, I'm going to, I'm going to take us out of the, of this pocket queue, take us back to something a little bit more familiar. So I'm going to take us back, Q. Well, I say take us back. This is a brand new trend. I just meant take us back to our usual flavor. There is. And I wouldn't call this a shoe gaze or Dream Pop record, but it's just, just falls under the indie rock umbrella. So this is a group called soft crystals. And they're a Berlin-based group. So they're from Germany.
Starting point is 00:50:57 And I'm just going to let them describe themselves here. This is from their Spotify biography. It says, Built from a love of music, film, and skateboarding. Soft crystals are upbeat yet reflective, like you're chilling in a Richard Linklater movie.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Which is... When I think of Richard Linklater, I think of waking life, and that is not a movie I want to chill in. Yeah, they're probably not thinking about waking life. They're probably thinking more about, like, Dazed to confuse.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Yeah, he also did School of Rock. Yeah, which had the same kid, that super long, straight-haired kid. Oh, yeah, yep. He's in the Waking Life. Wait, he did School of Rock? Uh-huh. Learning new things today, brother. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:51:42 He also did Boyhood. A scanner darkly, of course, too. Hello. Is this, no, welcome to the Richard Linklater podcast. I mean, he's a great filmmaker, dude. He's from Texas, man. He's from Houston. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:55 All right. Well, there you go. That's, just think, just think Richard Link later. Okay. And this song's great, man. So here you go. This is a newest track came out in February of this year. Again, the band is called Soft Crystals.
Starting point is 00:52:10 This song is called Afterthought. It's my jam, dude. That's what I'm talking about. Just like that, was it Ray that you brought earlier that was in that vein? Yeah, man. That should have been my closing track, dude. I screwed up. but because that would have been a good one to go out on
Starting point is 00:54:44 but I got a great song to close us out so don't remember but yeah what were you going to say well those those lyrics dude um um oh gosh you know yeah it sounds like he was uh long he messed up he screwed something up man yeah there was someone who was super into him and he just kind of was ignoring them at the time and now he's like man you deserve better
Starting point is 00:55:04 why he's still hanging around there was a time when you would be there a lot and you were an afterthought. He goes, I wish I was more about us. Hey man, we've all been there, dude. We've all been there.
Starting point is 00:55:18 And you're kicking yourself. Young, man. It was all right there, man. So obvious. He messed up. But you know what? It's fine. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:55:31 He's got his band. I think his band is just him and his bedroom. They're watching movies. No, no, it's three guys. Okay. Three guys. Okay. That's a little bit less upsetting.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Yeah, his name is Matthew Morris, Scottish songwriter. He's got his friend Douglas on the drums and Thomas on the bass. Anyway, so yeah, that band was called Soft Crystals, and it was just a solid indie jam, you know. This kind of stuff, we play it all day long on our music blog cue, New Dust back in the O's. Back when it was just hitting the scene. Yeah, in the 2010s. And it's still going strong. It is.
Starting point is 00:56:16 I'm glad to see it. The bedroom pop type stuff. All right, Q, what's your, this is your last pick. What do you got? It's my last pick. And I'm bringing back another oldy but goody genre that's got psychedelic. Nice, long staying power, Trave. No, I'm bringing some post-hardcore indie emo.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Okay. From a group that I actually. this song revisionist from their album viewing from 2020 was on my best of 2020 list this is a group called
Starting point is 00:56:52 Stay Inside. Yeah, it's funny, I've read an article recently about this new album that came out of theirs and they were talking about how like finally it's been far,
Starting point is 00:57:00 they've been far enough removed, we're far enough removed from the pandemic and the lockdowns that people don't immediately mention COVID-19 when they hear their band name, stay inside. That's funny, man.
Starting point is 00:57:15 That was their debut, full-length album was viewing, and it came out in April of 2020, dude. Oh, God. Yeah, that's great. I know. So they weren't able to escape that link until just recently. So anyways, they just released an album this year back just at the end of February. So this is fresh. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:39 It's called Ferryed Away. And, yeah, if you liked viewing from 2020, this is a little bit different, a little lighter. I mean, man, viewing especially revisionist as a dark song, dark lyrics like it hits you hard. This is a little bit different. And I'm all for it, dude. I'm excited to hear more from these guys. Here we go. This is Stay Inside.
Starting point is 00:58:06 The album is Fared Away. this song is called My Fault Everything's my fault Isn't it Things go bad Everything's my fault Isn't it Make a smile
Starting point is 00:59:12 Pretend like you want to catch up With the kitchen scissors I guess I'm not so good at this Once things go bad Everything's my fault Is Yeah great song man
Starting point is 01:00:13 Didn't get a hint of emo in that It's from track to track It gets there Let me let me take that back you I'm getting Midwestern emo From that You know who I was thinking of
Starting point is 01:00:26 Matt Pong PA of all people Okay Yeah I could see that Yeah But okay I could see Early email
Starting point is 01:00:41 Earlier email I was going to So you've got to remember, dude. Emo is not... That's right. That's right. That's right. It's not as narrow as we used to think it was.
Starting point is 01:00:48 You're right. Yeah. I always have to remind myself. I think this would be second wave, emo, right? I don't know, man. Second wave is like the early 90s, yeah. 90s into like the right before third wave, which was like... I always think of Jimmy World kind of like straddled both.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Hey, Mercedes. Yes, stuff like that. Well, bands like Fallout Boy and all that stuff is third wave. Okay. Anyway. Yep. Not to get technical here.
Starting point is 01:01:24 Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, solid album. It's probably going to make it on my 2024 list. Good stuff, man. Nothing like revisionist, but man, that song still holds me. That album art is awesome. It's got the, it looks like a, like a, a bunch of jockeys on horses, but the Green Reaper is on one of the horses.
Starting point is 01:01:47 It's a freaking awesome. Yeah, man, it's cool. I would put that shit on my wall, dude. All right, Trev. Last pick of the night, and how are we going to wrap this up? I've got an interesting track here that is kind of funny. The lyrics are kind of funny. It's almost like a satirical love letter to the television, this song.
Starting point is 01:02:11 It's funny. So this is a band called Strum Brush, and they call themselves Art Rock, seems to be the consistent label that they put on themselves. But, you know, indie, alt rock. But this song is just kind of, the lyrics are just funny and also kind of sad but true kind of thing, you know. Funny but sad because of how true it is and probably rings true to a lot of us. So here we go. This song is off of their 2021 EP called Hiding. Again, the band is called Strum Brush.
Starting point is 01:02:47 This song is called TV. The dissension into chaos at the end. Yeah. As he's killing his brain slowly. I just think it's funny. He's like, that was great. Yeah, it's funny. It's a great track, funny lyrics.
Starting point is 01:05:53 And the vibes. Yeah. Like it fits those lyrics. really well. Yeah, kind of like lazy delivery, like this guy's just like, you know, got himself sitting in front of the boob tube tube queue. Well, yeah, it's almost, it almost reminds me of, I'm thinking of like the, uh, those, this is your brain on.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Yeah. Commercial with that flattened out girl. The deflated girl on the couch, dude. That, that shit was creepy, man. I know. Our, our generation will never forget. Yeah. That commercial.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Uh, but I just imagine him. Uh-huh. on his guitar, lazily strumming the guitar in that deflated state. Yeah, with watching TV. With the tube, the boob, too, on, yeah. He goes, uh, these lyrics, he says, uh, someday I will die. Before I say goodbye, my TV cries. My very last friend, together till the end, my TV won't forgive me.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Man, yeah, dude. It's funny, man. Sarah has some, some of her family members on her mom said, dude, that's, That is, yeah, they might as well have written those lyrics, dude. They retired and all that they just sit around and watch TV. That's not what you've got to be doing in retirement, man. Come on now. Unless they have health problems or something like that that prevents her memory.
Starting point is 01:07:11 They do, but you know why they do? Because they've been watching. Because they're sitting out of the couch, yeah. For the last 20 years. Oh, there you go. Yeah, it's part of it. Anyway, there you go. Okay, going out on a satirical note.
Starting point is 01:07:27 Again, that band was called Strum Brush. The song was called TV off their 2021 record, hiding. Well, all right, Keogh, that does it for us here.

Yeah, I think Kivinsky is like he's, Kvinsky's definitely one of, put himself in, in a corner. Yeah. And I love all flavors of, of wave cue, synth, vapor,
