Thanks mike and shags, those who actually paid attention appreciate this video

[@dj_zioneer5853]

the guitar sounds like it was taken out of a Steely Dan song. I absolutely love it

[@S4M3350]

Seems like most of these newer 70s style bands take a lot of inspiration from steely dan, and it’s the best decision that could be made.

AOR revival

[@stebo231]

Whoever did the visuals for this vid did a great job. I always love hearing isolated audio tracks in music breakdowns, it's like hearing the music you love with a totally new set of ears.

[@staypuft9912]

these guys are awesome.

[@hlgrmdr9556]

Their Album is a gem! Amazing songs

[@paulwaymondo7568]

Roommate Groove 👍

[@pwulfe8728]

They've nailed that sound I grew up with. Love it.

[@jeffc2346]

Lmao, y'all really tired to fool us? That's no artist that's Jimmy Fallon dressed up.

[@sketchyforlife]

I’m bummed that I never went to see them pre-COVID. Insanely underrated and they collab with all my other favorite LA alt artists.

[@stanleynichols7300]

I loved the album and really hope they don't stop there. Eagerly awaiting their next release.

[@lotsofhats3224]

Great idea. Good format and presentation! Cheers to putting this up. Oh....and great song. Yes.

I assumed it was a song about modern songs written in the 'style' of older songs not being rip-offs. I feel that there's some cynicism directed towards modern artists reviving older genres and fools is kinda saying that its more cultural appreciation and not appropriation. Plus I think we have a misconstrued perception of time in such a fast moving society where each decade is super different. Classical music was the music for centuries, genres don't have to be contained to the time period in which they were originally created or held initial relevancy.

[@dpclerks09]

I agree for the most part. I like plenty of music that's "retro" or pastiche in that sense, including these guys. I think the criticism comes from when the modern artists receive excessive or "undue" praise for it, usually from people that don't know their music history. Like if someone is receiving accolades by people who think they're reinventing the wheel, when they're really just trying real hard to do their best Mick Jagger impression, etc. Not to knock those artists or the people who enjoy it, but there's something to be said for when musicians at large more or less exclusively look to the past for their sounds, instead of being present, or looking forward. It seems to lead to a stagnation of sorts, or cannibalizing and repeating the same cliches and motifs more often than what would normally occur within the cyclical nature of some parts of culture. My issue with it comes from my desire for all art, especially music, to be constantly changing, and constantly moving forward, and I want that to happen across the board for music, not just within the experimental and the avant garde. I make music, and I don't pretend to be revolutionary about it, I just try to make what I hear in my head, and what sounds good to me, without trying to ape anything too much. For however true the idea of 'nothing new under the sun' is, we should at least make an earnest attempt, I feel.

one of my favorite songs from this album, right behind Wild Motion

[@vilecrocodile9171]

Jimmy Fallon?

[@willybob7384]

Saw them in Manchester, pre-Covid, was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. I'm pretty sure all the floors of YES bar pilled into that tiny showroom to hear what was going on

[@firion2153]

everyone in this band are super talented, raw honey is great album 👍

[@AmericanosFilms]

Hell yeah keep it groovy

[@paulburg826]

Shags is a spy name

[@joshb8976]

I have a feeling that Shags was adding a lot more to this than Mike

[@ashbrown3742]

Are we 100% sure michael collins isn't jimmy Fallon?

[@kylepoff3287]

badass

[@thandomdlalose392]

The animation for the sax was kinda gross

[@layditms2]

wtf why are they styled like our dads ? is the music an imitation too ?

[@SummerRiley66]

Sounds very similar to pink Floyd

[@JESUS-cv5nn]

JESUS CHRIST RETURNS, ....R..EPENT OF SIN AND CHANGE Y.OUR WAY OF LIVING
