What a dad. What a family. And what a phenomenal record they made.

My husband and I met each other when this song played in a movie, 10 years ago. We are married now, with two children.

[@maryallen1017]

We all deserve a second chance. So happy for you Donny & Joe. ❤❤

[@booflaboof]

such a lost gem. one of the best albums of the time

[@AnnHeineck]

This!!!! Just This!!!! A song that deserve serious recognition!!! I’m so excited that a movie picked it up and used it! Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏

[@CeciliaGarcia-jq5qi]

Well for whatever reason God had other plans for this duo band. What an great dad to invest so much money into his son’s dream but it isn’t over till it’s over.

[@JLKDOOM]

What an absolute amazing father

[@rosssoutherland8118]

Great to see the film coming out!

[@imcorn1125]

WOW, really need the extended cut of the live "Baby" rendition at the end. Absolutely incredible!

[@IbeBruceAlmighty-mu7oj]

I just had the pleasure to meet Donnie along w/Joe. Joe just gave us the grand tour of his home and studio. Beautiful place. Received a little history on the movie "Dreaming Wild", really cool in my book. Thanks Joe for the tour. Hope to meet up again soon.

Me & my wifey love this song we even bump it when we go cruising in the low low..

[@drbsavvy12]

Their music has made a comeback. Baby is a hit on Little big lies HBO soundtrack

[@THEJET52]

That’s where I heard it for the first time!! Loved it too.

[@dbeaulieu9730]

As a father of two sons myself, I would love to meet their dad and shake his hand. I have and would do anything for my sons too

[@spokanerecordsjanitormusic4359]

Love this Story....a Dream come True, I understand that

[@THEJET52]

Music before it’s time! Heard album 2 yrs ago from my daughter and I loved it, and told her I could sense something nostalgic … then she told me it was a late 70’s album and I was blown away. It had a modern 2020 vibe as well. I was only 19 in ‘78 and I can’t imagine it up against most of those bands then. But the indie rock today fits well with it.

[@jamesradskijr.9745]

Dam I was happy when my dad bought me a toy truck 🚚 Anyway these bros rock

[@AllOutKreations36]

Man I've always loved the song "Baby"! Amazing and Even DopeR knowing they came out of Eastern Wa! In from Yakima 🙏🏼

[@JLKDOOM]

Always? Lol not even their classmates bought it, but you've always loved it 😂

[@missymissymiss5192]

I heard this haunting song while watching Our Flag Means Death. Had to know more about it.

[@dilltia123]

Looks like a cool movie vid!! My grandfather owned the Fruitland station there since 1959 my whole family, including me grew up there their whole life! Excited to see this

[@blackholerainbow3029]

I heard the song "Baby" during the end credits of Our Flag Means Death, and I've listened to it maybe 20 times in the last few days. This is a cool story.

[@chadhansen5057]

[@kurtispasby8395]

[@fonduekid4584]

Big fan oh baby track produced on that album

[@vaderdaniels]

Ariel Pink covering baby introduced to me this amazing band

[@keitha.355]

Awesome album.

[@raiderchavez24]

Personal fav.: 🎶Baby🎵

[@911elijah]

Incredible!

[@UpCloseAndAcoustic]

This piece does the guys no favor by using the clip of them playing 'Baby' over and over again. It leaves me thinking, 'theses guys can't write', except 'oh baby'. Despite knowing otherwise. Nice to have the exposure, but more lyrics would have made it seem less simplistic. BTW, glad the brothers finally got some attention. Good on everyone who helped make it happen.

[@danpo7912]

Hell yeah! ❤‍🔥

[@pyenapple]

The audio mix on this video is really weird and hard to listen to

[@jjbilogayt9311]

[@markjz2011]

[@teptime]

One of the most poignant stories in all the history of music, similar to the delayed success of LINDA PERHACS.

[@kathy2226]

What an ego Donnie has! He kicks his brother to the curb and lets his dad pay the bills - did he go bankrupt? Now there's a movie about a spoiled brat-man who only thinks of himself. Sorry, but your premier song "Baby" has very limited lyrics and the rest of your songs are so-so. The movie was good, but that's because Casey Affleck shows a conscience. Keep dreamin' dude!

[@bootycatnavarro9540]

baby teeth on Hulu is how I discovered them !

[@joaomatheus2813]

I discovered them by HBO's big little lies. Such a gem that album

[@JihadBunnydick]

[@chadhansen5057]

[@JihadBunnydick]

​​@chadhansen5057 Thanks for responding, they seem like down to Earth people.
