It's like someone took my favorite elements of Shiner, Failure, And Torche and gave it steroids and irradiated it. This band is amazing.

[@93mrjake]

thank you for the treasure trove.

[@justinsmith6955]

Saw this band open just last night for Baroness in Columbus. They played such an amazing set. Totally blown away.

[@kylegrace-os2lq]

I was at this show as well. Had waited years to see them and met Mario and Sarah and they were the best. Sweet people. Also killer set.

[@AlexanDrMoskalenko]

Love these guys, their openings for Deftones totally makes sense, my two favorite bands

[@ernestbuckley8671]

Spotlights are the best band I have heard in the last 5 years. I discovered them by accident during Covid and have been a fan since. I listen to this band almost everyday. Incredible songs backed by impeccable music production and mixing. Mario (the bands writer, singer, and guitarist) produces and mixes the band as well. Truly an immense talent. Sarahs monster tone on bass is so addicting and Chris` drumming is the perfect addition.

[@DEADHORSEONE]

Amen❤

[@downthemachine1]

That bass is devastating. I am literally feeling it in my soul.

[@troloslaw78]

Cracking set list, one title missing is Walls"

[@sirwojenheimthethird2268]

This has been an epic band discovery. They combine much of what moves me. Tension. Tension. Release.

[@simplerice60]

Saw these guys in Maplewood, MN opening for Deftones. Not too many people knew what to think. Such a great sound.

[@billyhughes9776]

It's like Failure, Hum and Deftones with their own unique vibe -- some Melvins and a touch of Helmet mixed in as well. Excellent.

[@pronginator]

nailed it.. .In love!

[@simaojoseph]

that's sooo sad.

[@JPNesker]

YUP - ALL SLUDGE ROCK WITH SOME SPACE TOSSED IN, Because You'd prefer an astronaut.

[@willtx3]

I love HUM, DefTones, Kyuss, My Bloody Valentine etc. You must check out True Widow from Dallas, TX kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJS9eZKjl7xog6c

[@MrFLUIZZLE]

Nailed it. I was thinking Melvins/Cure myself. Im old.

[@Jay-vc8qk]

My new favorite post metal band at the moment....

[@ZVvereVvolf]

Just saw them open for Glassjaw and Quicksand last night... Amazing... Bought their vinyl. Talked to the bassist she's super sweet.

[@stevenng1366]

did not expect the heavy. I like em heavy. I like this

[@princealexander6155]

Some of the best music I’ve ever heard

[@kysrsoze1]

So nice to hear new sludge/stoner rock with actual singing. Brutally good stuff.

[@nyxomniacmusic3862]

Finding myself listening to these guys a lot lately.

[@tannerkugz1704]

I saw them open up for the Melvins and they rocked so hard the power at the venue literally went out

[@alexj3007]

I saw them on that tour!

[@Gold__Dime]

Great compositions! Really great live sound tech. Personally memorized by Chris's drumming - smooth, solid, powerful, tasteful. I get stoked when a drummer has a "voice" in the band. (and that deep snare tuning - yee!)

[@randywalton993]

Looking forward to seeing Spotlights open up for Baroness on the 19th in Toronto. 😊

[@tburrus94]

So proud of you guys and how far you’ve come and you guys still got a long ways to go!!

[@veerchasm1]

If you had to compare this band with someone else please excuse yourselves from the comments That drummer has so much control on his cymbals, just awesome

[@miguelbartelle6911]

True artists, love all their work!

[@virtual_balboa]

I have watched this 500 times today

[@bsheppard9907]

Man this still rips! That seismic intro always gives me chills.

[@0jeffthorpe0]

Saw these guys in Sacramento last night. They killed it! Very good live show!

[@Tboy78]

coming back to this again😍

[@urbanrunoff]

LOVE this!

[@ampedpcr]

Wow I love this band's sound. Reminds me of Big Business crossed with Autolux.

[@Penicks]

such a god damned wall of sound, love it. deftones' producers of their last couple of albums (especially gore) should take a look at how to make a guitar loud without it sounding like dull knives stabbing in your ear

[@zacmedeiros7241]

Didn’t know that band, really good, thanks!

[@steviemac2377]

Saw them open for Deftones last year, they're even better live in person. Definitely recommend checking them out!

[@PizzaMuffinTimee]

I find so many sick bands through audiotree holy shit thank you

[@Dischoir]

[@felixmonroy919]

they remind me of Jesu or even a lil bit of Isis (the band), great project, didn't know about them until now.

[@AgassiUKR]

what a nice find!

[@KaminskiONAIR]

diggin´deeper!! Great! It´s definitely a bonus to see them playing - cool session!

[@rentiscrawl]

[@Kevin-uz6sv]

The new album rocks!

[@andresportela_ba]

I lost count on how many times i saw this video, such a mindblowing band!!

[@GG-ik6it]

God i love this band. Sooooo heavy but its not just loud its melodic its so thick and sexy

[@pitegaillard]

saw this band live oppening for Deftones in Brooklyn !! EPIC !!!

[@CarlosSanchez-cq1lf]

THAT SNARE..... mother of god

[@mediumstudio]

sounds so good!

[@billyhughes9776]

With such a wall of sound that was the first thing that caught my attention. Sounds amazing,...the whole kit actually.

[@simaojoseph]

That drummer!

[@scottmoore8436]

They opened for the Melvins and killed it . My favorite band now

[@dittodong]

[@troloslaw78]

Not been in love with a band so much since Isis "Panopticon".

[@frsm_]

[@PolskiAmbient]

[@HATHORSTUBE]

[@markwallace8995]

Love this band!

[@nickslad3164]

[@brendanbrown1204]

PS the interviewer plays bass in a band called Lume that’s from my hometown and they’re incredible.

[@lucasmerrill3206]

Brendan Brown nice comment dork

[@punkmusicmetal]

Go Chicago!!

[@Emma-en5nb]

They're so good. I appreciate this comment. I've gone to listen to their Audiotree Far Out several times and I really enjoy their album Wrung Out.

[@mattgriffin2880]

3 incandescent bulbs and crushing tone

[@rancosteel]

The Orange O bass brought me here.

[@mdjones4]

im getting cloudkicker / true widow vibes

[@PerOculos]

Going to see them in February opening for Igorrr. I'm not ready.

[@gorillakillaaa]

PerOculos you're never gonna be ready! Face it you're gonna get fucked up!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@PerOculos]

First Denied woo indeed.

[@James_Cy]

Just a massive sound without sounding too metal or overdone. Fantastic

[@lodougherty]

this band is so slept on.

[@cambrown2784]

So. Sick. SOooooo good.

[@geordiedog1749]

What bass is that? Long scale bastard of a beast!,

[@goldbyrd3667]

I fucking love this band

[@quasenaoconsigo9020]

Bom demais \;;/

[@Pbl6a_Kapacb]

It's seismic.

[@Nutcho369]

Sounds awesome...yeah, like Deftones guitars and drums are just slower

[@scotteltonbradford2122]

Had the privilege of seeing them open for the Melvins. Fuck.

[@shoegaaze]

woah

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

Tuning for the guitar and bass? Not a lot of info about these guys online.

[@guitaristssuck8979]

I think it's at least drop B

[@citizendisguise]

Any idea what kind of amp he is using? That tone is badass! Great band, wish they would come to the west coast more often

[@pony_drums]

Looks like an Orange CR120 head. Solid state amp and it sounds amazing! I've wanted one for a while now and I think this cemented my decision.

[@citizendisguise]

Thanks for the info! Wow I don’t think solid state amps get enough credit, cuz he is getting some brutal tone out of that thing haha I think you will have made a good decision 🤘

[@matf9453]

I'm here from the future. Yes, it's an orange crush pro 120 transistor head. It's modeled after their famous tube amp and it sounds amazing (I own the 65w version).

[@HunterAnton]

Soooo... anyone got any pics of the guitar pedalboard... ?

[@aaronarthurworks]

You can see most of it at 33:29

[@wolfey4138]

Is he playing an ORANGE CR120?

[@theblockyrocker9060]

yes

[@waltoguilty2148]

A W E S O M E

[@arturoyescas4175]

That guitar solo, tho!

[@ChizuMcCheems]

saw them open for deftones in 2016, FUCKING AMAZING!

[@joshuaadamsharakaly7134]

Chris S. Same here. Insanely huge sound from a small band.

[@kidpresentable]

Getting destroyed by sound waves

[@muchasxmaracas]

What's that snare? Anyone?

[@Dischoir]

I second the question. Anyone?

[@Clominee]

C&C 8x14 maple 3-ply

[@excitinglymundane8028]

When hopesfall, hum, and torche had a bastard child. Fucking epic.

[@JoshFryer]

FUCK. YES. 🤘

[@Plubob_McHabblefluffin]

What do you get when you mix Faunts with Tool? Probably this. How cool is it that this band has a husband and wife in it? Nice! We don't see that every day!

[@charmnogot5459]

Reverb brought me here

[@MindfulProgramming]

that snare is so fat. good deftones vibes.

[@mivader378]

Kinda disappointed that all those keyboards sound are not played live...

[@mark7166]

That guitar sounds SOOOOOOOOOOOO fat!

[@TheStormpilgrim]

Looks like he's playing through two heads and stacks and one's an Orange. Something about Orange amps. Very warm and thick. Vasudeva and Hum put them to good use, too.

[@gsharata]

Wake up please....

[@gsharata]

So boring

[@jolemite2639]

@gasharta I got the perfect band for someone like you. They’re called Poison. Go check em out!
