[@ItRoamsAtNight]

Could not agree anymore. This band deserves so much more

[@TheRealBiggusDickus]

Sadly you're right. They're in my top 10 favorite bands and I live in a rural town on south US. The music world needs more talent like this.

[@OberynTheRedViper]

I think they are appreciated. Quantity doesn't necessarily mean quality. Their fans are dedicated.

My daughter's favourite song at the moment, we listen to it most days going to and from childcare. Loves the 'chime bars' that kick in at 1:44. And I have to say, hearing a five-year old Australian girl (occasionally her 2-year old sister joins in) yelling out lyrics in bad Scottish accents is great value.

This song, and particularly this album, are a masterpiece. WWPJ gave the world a gift with this one. You can just feel it. It makes the hair on my neck stand up every time.

[@summershine9601]

[@conicalgreen7361]

This to me is real music

[@drewperry4626]

There's a beautiful "manicness" to their music. You feel their rhythms and melodies. The breakdowns exude emotion.

[@awesomepsume]

the growing feeling, the dusk setting, the juxtaposition of growing sound and almost "playful chimes" with the seemingly passionately depressing lyrics, and the inspirational, but "hopefully" "falling apart" lyrics make this song something else entirely.

Scotland as a whole doesn't produce a lot of music, but the land that Rome couldn't conquer produces only the finest poets and warriors. These young fellows and Big Country are legendary. Every time Big Country plays I get so jazzed up. These gents do the same, only I rock the standing head bob very vigorously. Too much passion all at once.

[@liambaxter4290]

Have you been living in a cave? Even a cursory glance around here will tell you Scotland has a great music scene and as many successful acts to boot. Calvin Harris, AC/DC, Primal Scream, Eurythmics, Lewis Capaldi, Simple Minds etc. etc...

[@stevet6975]

i found this band from playing saints row 4 back 5-6 years ago.

[@noir4hire]

I have to say, when I first started listening. I was like "0h boy, another EMO college inde!" But I'm glad I continued listening. The time sigs and counter bass to guitar are fun and inventive! It almost has a Brad Laner feel when the "wall of musical noise" comes that's chaos but intelligential.. At times I hear a hint of Codeine, with the melancholy melodic slow plucked tones. Overall a beautiful arrangement of music!

[@ReliefOrFight]

+noir4hire With that unusual change of time signature accompanied with that huge wall of sound and the vocals clearly calling out above it... fuck I just get chills, every single time. Incredible song. Seeing them tonight at the Royal Albert Hall accompanying another of my favourite bands, Explosions in the Sky. So excited. Shall be most disappointed if they don't play this

[@noir4hire]

+ReliefOrFight Nice! Have to admit, I'm a bit jealous! if they're as good on stage ... Have a great night!
