Broken City 2023 - Self - Finals - Multicam

[@Griffin그리핀]

Broken City continues to have the most impactful and musical books in PIW. They literally make art though the median of Indoor Percussion.

[@THEnelsonbruhs]

Not really. It feels like their book never reaches a climax. It just perpetually builds up to nothing. Their 2018 and 2019 books were pretty great and everything after that just wasn’t there for me

@@THEnelsonbruhs does a show need to have a climax in order to be musical? either way i consider the "god help us" to be the climax and honestly i love it

[@insertchannelnamehere632]

The "God Help us all" moments are so powerful, I love it (I commented late because I basically forgot this show existed, even though I saw it in UD), genuinely one of my favorite shows

[@tacos8910]

I am an ocean, I am a knife Waves to drown in, edges to fight (You know I really want to save you) Heaven knows I’ll give you hell (You’re not alone) (Show yourself - I want to see what you’re made of) (Heaven and Hell - Show yourself) (You’re not alone) Misunderstood. I'd changed it if I could I used to pray, not as much these days God help me, God help us all So the old me dies So the new one can live Back to life It's turning Tide's turning I'm an ocean

[@cuttingham_1232]

I got the lyrics wrong. I thought the show was about being swayed to follow a different ideology when really you have to look into yourself and see what you wanna follow. But now it seems like it’s more about your true self being chipped away and you’re made into someone different

[@tacos8910]

​@@cuttingham_1232 This show is definitely the most Christian influenced Broken City show. If you don't know, Adam Watts actually is a music professor at a Christian college. This very clearly is talking about a topic called sanctification.

they were more dirty than they shouldve been

[@richardhuang7709]

I loved their overall musical package, but they didn't execute well enough to do better competitively.

No they were perfect!!!

Gawd I love Roger Carter's writing and their playing style. Superb

[@mel-px7hl]

@@brandonbrownmusic4544 Roger is responsible for the snare breaks though. That's why they stand out so much from everything else.

[@onionn-ring]

looks like they use the evans hybrid drumset head, is it the same to the evans hybrid marching snare drum head?
