@@MEqwed I know. I was joking that they're a new band of the '80s, defying temporal logic. I know they are not actually from the '80s.

This song has Clan of Xymox written all over it. This band is like a perfect mix of early The Cure, The Chameleons, Sisters of Mercy and Xymox.

[@kingcobrajfsofficial]

I can hear Clan of Xymox in a lot of their material, honestly. Just when you think they're going full dark they throw a curve ball with some The Cure/Psychedelic Furs nuance.

[@CropsyisBurning]

Sad lovers and giants

[@chelseastone8410]

GORGEOUS !

[@ANGELSVEN]

Yes, but even better.

[@juanpabloarena2724]

[@wesNYC]

[@seanc2208]

That guitar tone is everything 🙌🙌🙌

[@4Azr]

You cant deny those 2 guys make huge impression on scene, their image and style is very well designed. Music makes nostalgia a like a water that washes your face, its amazing and a real deal for any type of stoners because its the pure form of Neo-Psychedelic wave of rock music.

[@jorgeegrojjorge]

Drab Majesty is a revelation been hooked listening to his album non stop!

[@Jbailey2112]

Seen them open for the Smashing Pumpkins. This is the reason I don't miss opening bands, instantly became a fan that night of Drab Majesty!!

[@VaporMemory]

Truly badass

[@xisotopex]

f@cking badass

[@immermitderruhe]

This is epic!! We need a professionally directed Drab Majesty live concert movie! I imagine something like the "Rammstein: Paris" live show but in a darkwave style with an epic orchestrated light show and several cameras filming from every angle, a unique stage setup and of course a big venue because you cant do it in small clubs but also not in open air stadiums as the sound in stadiums is not that great. More something like Madison Square Garden etc.. I would pay 10000 to see something like this. Drab Majesty would be a perfect band for this kind of elaborately staged shows. But unfortunately the bands audience is yet too small. Not many bands on this planet have the opportunity to do this.

[@groobiecat]

Now I'm The Chameleons. Christ this is amazing.

[@tommasocolombo2665]

Best band ever! They really deserve to go a bit more mainstream, quality of the songwriting is really high. they would kick ass to all the shitty music/bands around now. Curious to see the impact they would have with a real drummer. I really would love to see them live. Hope the will pass by Europe again in the future.

[@talkingmudcrab718]

I'm pretty sure I listened to this song while playing Excitebike on the NES back in '89.

[@DJHuk]

Brings back the good old days of the Jesus and Mary Chain .... back when we had songs and they were psychedelic as all hell.

[@electroinblack6852]

[Verse 1] I’ll burn my name in your eyes And I’ll learn to play with your fire Rather just be told I’m a liar [Verse 2] You told me that I need to atone Coming from a broken home You say I need to leave my love alone [Chorus] You make sure I’m missing the point Now i'll just be kissing the ground I’d rather just be kissing my life away [Verse 3] Your dad would say I’m wrong I'm glad to have disagreed Do you really want to be under my antenna Over the amphetamines [Verse 4] You say you’re gonna let me watch You say you’re gonna disappear It really doesn’t feel like trying 'Til I walk a mile and you’re near [Verse 5] You listed all the games I’ve played You tried to take the things we've made And I’d rather just be dead on arrival Hide this cross, a lover lost [Chorus] You make sure I’m missing the point Now i'll just be kissing the ground I’d rather just be kissing my life away You make sure I’m missing the point Now i'll just be kissing the ground I’d rather just be kissing our lives away You make sure I’m missing the point Now i'll just be kissing the ground I’d rather just be dead on arrival [Outro] I’d rather just be dead on arrival (x8)

[@jackgoff2072]

Thanks.I never knew the lyrics.

The lyrics are not completely accurate “ My pride won't say l'm wrong Cried til I disagreed You really want to be under my antenna over the amphetamines”

Que buenos son, una mezcla perfecta de guitarras y teclados

[@АлексейБоярский-ж4ю]

Замечательно....... Мне 53года...... Послушав , просто помолодел от этих звуков........... В лучших традициях этого жанра......... Порекомендую своему сыну....... Думаю заценить, что батя слушает...... Всегда слушал, не то, что слушает масса........

[@ВалерийКузнецов-л2ч]

Мне 45. Я Cure перестал слушать после Wild Mood Swings и DM после Exciter. Т.к. они стали писать абы что. И по большому счету ничего из 00-х и 10-х не вошло в мою фонотеку. Т.к. все какое-то непонятно что... Попросту - шлак. Ну там кое какие проблески конечно есть . Но это именно проблески. Отдельные треки . Ну туда сюда еще Retro Wave ( SynthWave). А тут у парней как бы концепт. Cure как -то быстро соскочили с этого саунда... Ушли в какую-то аморфную... полуакустку... Скучно и вяло. А тут у парней и энергетика...Хорошая группа. И не надо ее в массы. Массы пусть слушают ... Imagine Dragons ( и пр.шнягу )))
