[@thisisdeepseadiver]

WE LOVE YOU KEXP

[@mikelugarte1017]

Cheers to that! I was just listening to the album last night. Awesome performance!

[@alastairs3727]

First time listener, love your tunes !

[@weissmatt]

We love you deep sea diver.

[@3goals4bonzai]

Their sound folks are second to none. Dig the tunes! ✌

[@anthonytonycorso7550]

KEXP bringing it! Great sound. Love the passion in this performance and how it is (not surprisingly) winning first-time listeners over. See you again soon in Portland. (Oh -- and my son was on that zoom lesson during that KEXP countdown. Sweet moment!)

[@krisfrederick5001]

30 seconds in...there's nothing like finding a new band and falling in love.

[@phant0mdummy]

I only got 4 seconds into that opening bass line and I was opening spotify for the follow :) hell yea.

[@krisfrederick5001]

@@phant0mdummy That bass is milk poured over cereal you've never heard of

[@markdarnell614]

There is Nothing like a New Band...that sounds like a Thousand other bands you've heard before! Jesus...Give us something Unique, and ...Original! PLEASE!

[@555brains9]

@@phant0mdummy Oh yeah, me too! 🤟

[@555brains9]

So true! Seeing how each one of the band is really into it, just gave me an immense rush of joy and energy ^^

[@kylemietzner6522]

fuzz bass. two jazzmasters. straight and steady drums. synth. they know who I am and have made this for me.

[@nickybhoof]

hahah did I write this?

[@SuperIperMegaTriper]

I just would change fuzz bass to chorus bass. 🙃

[@gdbssa]

It’s not all about you Kyle

[@emmomartins5383]

same same. not to mention flatwounds s2

[@luizspindola]

Plus the impeccable fashion

[@readysetmoses]

Everyone is so tight, great bass lines, synth, insane guitar tone and great melodies. This band is the real deal.

[@benhopper3363]

KEXP is a treasure. Lived in Seattle for 20 years, and being able to tune into a station like that while being stuck in awful traffic was a gift.

[@jpconnolly831]

Gotta do a live in-studio someday...its on the short list of must do's!

[@fabioampe]

I wish I could be stuck in a traffic jam listening to kexp after work every day. You are blessed.

[@evanpb]

KEXP is hands down the thing I miss most about living in Seattle. Still watch the YT videos and listen on the website, but I miss having it on the radio so much!

[@D3athToD0gma]

That does sound dope

[@McShag420]

I only wish I had anything near as good where I am.

[@ToddH76]

Can't wait two weeks until I get to see this great band open for Pearl Jam!!!

[@robm5091]

Met Jessica at the hotel after PJ gig. Had a chat in the elevator. Very gracious. They killed both night in St Paul! I'll definitely go see them if they come to Boston

[@luizspindola]

Ok... This band is TIGHT! You can tell they've spent countless hours practicing. Everything is on point. Great job!

[@jdst7080]

I mean she use to play with Beck and The Shins, like what do you expect.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Yeah this sounds like a mixed recording. Nicely done.

[@zachkaeser8320]

I love how INTO IT their drummer is. He is driving the dynamics in their performance

[@nzstjohnthebaptist]

The drummer is a one man fan club singing along with the songs.

[@lukelarsson]

I’d be singing along as well if my super talented wife was killing it on vocals in our band!

[@benspeeds]

When a band is "good" or has "the right stuff" it is immediately apparent even on this first listen, which this was for me. Exceptional vocals.

[@samuelclemens8361]

Just accidentally came across this video on KZbin. Never heard of this band, but I did notice your comment and decided to give them a few minutes of my time because I generally agree with what you said and based on what you said, I figured that there is a good chance I might like this..... ... and sure enough... they are pretty good.

[@DrVink86]

100% truth. If it weren't the case I wouldn't have discovered them through a 20second sound clip in an advertisement for headphones haha

[@zombockerman]

Totally, reminds me a lot of Bloc Party, Interpol and Radiohead in the best of ways.

[@brian_j_hughes]

Completely agree. I’ve liked the radio tracks, but I’m just so impressed by this group live. Mofos can play.

[@booitsnick]

And I thought I was head over heels for Jessica before watching this😊😊

[@SteveJamsEcono]

Best, most underrated band going right now, imo. Also clearly feeling pretty emotional when doing this performance which makes it even more special.

[@simaojoseph]

Could you please post the link of that rating institute. I have 20 videos that need that BS comment and I can’t seem to find that info anywhere.

[@SteveJamsEcono]

@@simaojoseph Slow day at NASA today, huh?

[@catherinemaguire739]

Agreed

[@scottflores2502]

agreed!!! the pure joy this band displays and expresses is so refreshing. the band's sincere appreciation really comes through! love these folks!

[@growmiezhomiez8760]

Ure very sheltered I’m guessing Steve?

[@ashrafsahdan5606]

What. A. Band! Their drummer is a beast.

[@arrondesign]

The tone on that bass is GORGEOUS

[@Gubgubgoober]

P bass with flats. Cant beat it!

[@aubreyxengland]

and that Benson amp!

[@kyleclifton4268]

Never heard of this band, but oh my God... they are all perfectly locked in to one another. That's what I call a band

[@isabellamccooey5517]

their sound is dope as hell

[@Allthemoss]

Beautiful band. Tight and compressed. This drummer is phenomenal 🖤

[@ViolentBeauregarde]

In my top 5 active bands. Not a single bad song on any of their records. Saw them twice in Columbus OH and their shows are sooo good. Also, Peter is a beast drummer whose enthusiasm multiplies the energy at shows. Glad they are getting more and more recognition.

[@fiveeyes2802]

The drummer is totally a beast. Almost possessed! Fantastic!

[@tmk8807trig]

Nice! I've just discovered the band, but I live in Columbus! Where did you see them?

[@henn863]

Which other bands are in your top 5?

[@ViolentBeauregarde]

@@henn863 Krakow Loves Adana, Other Lives, Operators, Broncho, Chelsea Wolf.... Maybe you won't like all of them, but check them out if you get a chance!

[@ViolentBeauregarde]

@@henn863 Also: Bohren & Der Club of Gore, Wilsen, Zola Jesus.... It would be hard for me to chose only 5.

[@vladimirbosinceanu5778]

Man, those drums are killer.

[@MrRungi]

Don't ever change KEXP. Ever. ❤️

[@jacksonderulo284]

Yuuki and Jessica, two of my favorite shins members and now my favorite band, deep sea diver

[@DJ-IronMike]

Amazing how many people in the comments are hearing them for the first time - severely underrated and they should be selling out venues double the size of what they are playing. Still hands down best album of last year (and there are a ton of good ones from last year) and even a better band live.

[@hughjass5156]

Im one of the people just discovering them now. I hope I get to see them at a small venue, cuz selling out theatres is certainly where theyre headed.

[@KL-lt8rc]

Not the first time hearing them, but I keep revisiting because they're so amazing. They really are so underrated. I feel like they need to play on SNL or a late night show or something and their fanbase would explode.

[@palmquac]

I saw them open for Joseph in Portland about 5 years ago and was blown away!

[@Quiksilv26]

Listened to this actually on the radio, caught in the rain on I-5. Made it to the show the next day at the showbox. Hell of a return to live music. What a rush. Love these guys.

[@RegularDude00]

1:02 damn this sounds so awesome. This woman is a fantastic guitar player! 2 songs in and i feel like im already a fan.

[@minuscipher]

I wonder if the sound engineer ever got that much deserved raise.

[@Killbot754]

Still get chills from the transition and second solo in Lights Out... every time. 10/10

[@TheSneezingMonkey]

Just discovered this band, from a comment referencing Jessica Dobson playing the supporting guitar on Beck's 'Modern Guilt acoustic' record. Incredible stuff....really tight sounding band.

[@Ryan-sd6os]

drummer is so good man

[@yrdbyrd_bjj]

Probably my 12th or 13th time here for this. Just one of the best performances I've seen on KEXP. This energy is contagious and inspirational.

[@yrdbyrd_bjj]

Back at it, just cant get enough of this performance.

[@olof-palme]

@@yrdbyrd_bjj Just found this masterpiece today. I will probably end up returning many times.

[@Auldhelm]

I saw them live on this tour - It was one of best shows I have ever seen - I was like 2ft away from the stage

[@erikljungberg1056]

Sometimes all you need is a great rhythm section. The bass and drums are so tight. The bass lines are priceless.

[@Superfuntimejazz]

This was a gift given to those who couldn't see them live.

[@twwtb]

61 Y.O. Jazz and classical lover loving this!

[@kuyzat]

This band just BINDS together so well. Like organs in a body.

[@LuchoCajiga]

YES TO EVERYTHING IN HERE, YES

[@leftystrat62]

Truly some of the best music from a band I've ever heard. I feel amazing while listening to their sound.

[@xrossfader]

Who runs the audio mix… give that person a raise! The sound is incredible and I was introduced to DSD when they opened for Joseph in Feb2020 and I was hooked. Incredible band. Side note… please book Joseph!!

[@AhrenField]

It appears that the guy who recorded their newest record mixed this. So it makes sense why it sounds so great

[@brintparks4895]

Agreed! The sound is so so killer. Such a great audio mix. !!! deepseadiver has their PRO GAME turned up to eleven!! Wooo

[@weissmatt]

KEXP mastering is always top notch an spot on.

[@fraenkiboii]

kexp: “what are your prerequisites, guys?” - Jessica: “I need my own little box shaped stage I can play solos on. It’ll be epic!”

[@MorbiDarkAngel]

Brazilian drummer here, I love this channel, definetly

[@BTcycle]

I have listened to "Eyes Are Red" so many times and have never gotten tired of that guitar solo. Amazing job from the band.

[@cartwhisperer]

This show literally made me tear up. Such an amazing an performance and a testament to the power of live music. Thank you, Deep Sea Diver and KEXP for the performance I needed to see tonight.

[@dio52]

Can't stop watching this. The energy of great drummers never translates fully through video, and Peter looks like he'd blow up the room live. Definitely hope to see them come to California.

[@28TheGreat]

This is the greatest 20 mins on the internet

[@angelramos7543]

Jessica Dobson is a treasure.

[@drummindreams]

Watched this today for the first time ever listening to the band, as luck would have it, their playing in Sacramento California tonight, LA Witch is playing as well, decisions decisions..

[@drummindreams]

Update to this post, Deep Sea Diver was phenomenal!!! Her voice gave me all the right feels and chills! Great rhythm section, all are super talented. Still high from their performance, so damn good!!!

[@arturomolinamacias8989]

Been waiting for this literally since the album came out.

[@nedim_guitar]

I'm rewatching this. It's only getting better with every view. Really tight band, great compositions, lovely details in the songs, great guitar sound and excellent vocal performances!

[@comradesentournjr3696]

Wow. I haven't heard a band this sonically rich AND chock-full of catchy pop hooks since DIIV's second album back in 2016. I'm absolutely blown away right now.

[@jeffreyday2414]

As someone who was a big fan of alternative " pop" music (from punk to Americana) who gave it up for old and new "classical" music about 20 years ago, hearing a band like this with songs like these reminds me of what makes rock 'n' roll revelatory.

[@exoduslnx]

That drum kit sounds so fn good in the mix its criminal

[@triangleman1990]

Such a great presentation of a great band! The mix is on point! I really need to see them live at some point. Also, it was nice to see Patti King backing them up for this set... gotta go watch the Radiation City set next.

[@douglasflummer4076]

My wife and I stumbled onto this, and enjoyed it. I think she wants to buy the album. I personally LOVE seeing instruments played with enthusiasm. EDIT: she just bought the album while I was typing this. I guess you really sold us.

[@buzzyboy6505]

This is a great band. Jessica is amazing guitarist and Peter’s drums are so good. Great band!

[@iwillnevergetone5]

exactly. peter's drumming is consistently the perfect feel/vibe for these tunes. lots of life in his playing. my man is a beast

[@PabloEspinozaPablolein]

Incredible performance, the whole set is rock-solid. Deep Sea Diver is one of the best bands out there, no doubt about it.

[@danielkamstra7327]

Absolutely phenomenal sounding band. Very creative melodies and awesome songwriting in general.

[@mikecito1717]

Love the early 80s vibe mixed with muscular 90s drums. Cool stuff!

[@skeif]

Nothing like watching people playing as happy as them.

[@jefferynighswander2410]

Amazing performances like this are why I subscribed to this channel. KEXP is one of the last avenues to find really great music these days. Deep Sea Diver will now be in my collection and on regular rotation. A great end to a tough day. Thanks KEXP and Deep Sea Diver.

[@ematero11]

Light outs intro is legit face melting!! My 2 year daughter and I jam to this almost everyday ❤

[@Sunset4Semaphores]

Welcome KEXP!!!

[@jimcatalano2584]

I thank the pandemic for two incredible discoveries, KEXP and Deep Sea Diver! You both go great with mountain biking!

[@noahbuchholtz-keith9140]

I'm addicted to this band and this performance.

Wow just wow, what a tight set by incredibly humble musicians.

[@tailtaptailtap]

Wow, what a great singer (and band) instally new band to froth over!!

[@murmurs4311]

Impossible performance. Speechless. ❤

[@ramn_]

Her voice is amazing, very powerful. First time i listen i fell in love with this band.

[@ipickbilly]

KEXP: Were i discover and fall in love with bands

[@nowthenzen]

that girl can rock!

[@NorCalProf1]

What a great band! When I think I'm getting used to all the recent music that I love it seems like maybe that's about all for now. Like I caught up with everything good, (yeah right!) But...oh yeah, check KEXP. Never disappoints with new (to me) exciting artists. Thank you KEXP. I'm of the "classic rock" generation but with a few exceptions I am completely over classic rock thanks to KEXP, NPR, KCRW, Audiotree Live, etc. Saw the Beatles at Seattle Center and now KEXP is there, from what I understand. Perfect.

[@loveisrealdudes]

She’s so good. What a great sound. Great band!

[@johnfree2833]

Sonically resilient quirks strewn thru out the fabrics layered on these catchy ditties.....colon clearing performance,thanks a TON!

[@affricate]

Yeah, I saw these guys in Vegas opening for PJ. Total fan now ❤

[@AmateurBlonde]

This is a well rehearsed band kicking ass! Congrats. It must feel crazy great to get to play KEXP !!! Again!! Who else just loves REAL DRUMS!!

[@dvanooijen74]

Never heard of... and the first song was okay and then got caught by the energy of the drummer/Peter... What an amazing band... Thanks KEXP and Deep Sea Diver.... Aaaaaand hitting the repeat button

[@stevenvenn]

LOVE DSD! Great session, peeps. Come to BC! We'd love to see you live up here!

[@Canis_Fatalis]

KEXP is an audible home of great artists.

[@motorpsychodelic]

Well you can read a lot of superlatives under ANY music video on youtube, but I have to admit that Jessica Dobson has one of the most beautiful and clear voices I have ever heard. It is pure joy to watch her perform.

[@randallschultz5003]

I was at the Missoula DCFC show with a friend, had no clue who was opening and never heard of Deep Sea Diver before that. Wowzers! Usually it's hard to get into a group you've never heard before but they were so amazing and the energy they brought was incredible. I didn't want them to leave the stage! Might be a while since I live in Wisconsin but I can't wait to see them live again!!!

[@ethansapp3473]

Same!! Exactly my experience at the Missoula show! There's a certain moment in a performance that makes you double take and realize how amazing it is. I immediately got their signed vinyl after the show haha.

[@glennmcmullen5192]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I had a grin on my face for the entire set. Amazing energy - It's almost as if we've been confined to our homes for the past 20 months! ;)

[@46three]

And this was recorded just after getting off a 2 month North American tour as well

[@TheJFishpaw]

Enjoyed listening to them open for Pearl Jam. Dancing Music!

[@neilsmith6952]

"don't be afraid, don't be ashamed" is a mantra I can't believe took this long to exist, I love it, truly, it hits every bell I need to hear, sadly, I'm still afraid and (borderline) ashamed, but your song has truly struck a chord in the right direction, thank you all involved

[@elpinikip.prentza1598]

Lights out but my heart's still glowing

[@tonyherrman7542]

Best KEXP in studio since the last time OSEES were on.

[@FogTub]

This makes me feel like next year won't be all bad, with this band to look forward to.

[@sbhf6sbhf638]

Je viens de découvrir par hasard, top ! JM et PB le must !

[@wesedwards1128]

Head DSD for the first time opening for Pearl Jam in LA. So good. Hope to see again soon! Thanks

[@Hellhunde64]

I love this band.

[@MarkJoseph81]

You are hands down one of the most talented, creative modern rock bands and in my opinion in all of rock history. I saw you guys in Boise several times, including at Treefort, and have been in love ever since. Jessica, you are one of the most talented female lead singers AND lead guitarists... EVER! A very rare combination! Your songs are so well orchestrated/structured. It is addicting, beautiful, honest, sincere, and down-right rockin'! Thank you, take care of yourselves.

[@Beezi.]

one of my new favorite bands. upset I just learned about them now
