one of the only bands i've ever seen be able to play acoustically with every member rather than 1 or 2

[@rachelscott8491]

I've loved every single acoustic song they've done. Every. Single. One

[@aldoprimandhana]

00:37 when u see it...

[@michaelrico3566]

👌

[@yourpersonalshiningstar4610]

they remind me a little bit about as it is:))

[@polarbear1011]

It's the other way around. As It Is wishes they could be the champs

[@janedough4517]

+Andrew Betancourt yaas true true

[@polarbear1011]

+Aay lmao Patty just sounds like a higher pitched Jordan from NFG. I could live without them. I'm a singer too and the complete nasal tone compared to a mixed one like Derek's is just not impressive to me. Derek just feels like he has so much more control over his voice. As it Is has written some catchy tunes. I'll give them that though

[@nor5god404]

Has anyone told Derek he still looks like he’s in high school

[@samiel1014]

He still look like he is right now lol

[@anelaysabelle]

I can see them featuring Tyler Carter in one of their songs

[@ephemeral7043]

derek's voice is so pop

[@jp23antunes]

Derek looks like Gren Kutz.

[@iriscruz7051]

[@suzanneewingrobbiesmommy7888]
