HotBox Session: The Districts - "Funeral Beds"

[@blazed.s24]

As I was driving through the Oregon coast last week, Spotify put this song on for me while I drove through the winding roads. It’s already a nostalgic memory for me.

[@JeffsYTFun]

Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my enthusiasm for new music. I just wanna play the hits. Then I hear a song like this and I'm 15 again.

[@louielopez1155]

I'm full agreement

[@VoOrT3xX]

You should try Glass Animals, won't be dissapointed

[@cunningflop]

JeffreyG61 this comment is as true a year ago as it will ever be, I thank you.

[@t-gmailaccount6796]

Wawawaw Wawawa that's a mainstream song that I couldn't stop hearing when it was popular. If you went back and listened to it now, would it still jam?

[@VoOrT3xX]

T-Gmail Account Glass Animals isn't really mainstream, and fuck yes I could hear them every day

[@damonleeb]

When we are our parents ages these songs are going to be like the Pearl Jam’s and nirvana songs from way back in the day. Man

[@heltonjrstognoli]

that harmonica comes in ripping your heart into pieces

[@jen7891]

Truly. Never disappoints

[@kushaltalsania439]

The districts are such an underrated band. They may not particularly have high tempo music to get the crowd up for mosh pits, however they are lyrically and melodically brilliant. I mean you can tell that through Telephone.

[@BoomBonkPow]

God, his passion is amazing. I could tell when i saw him in seattle that he was just grateful to be here and that honestly made it 1000% better to watch. and their sound is just perfect. Favorite band by far

[@BoomBonkPow]

yeah c: it was great

[@SnailHatan]

Best live performance I’ve seen in years. Can’t believe I’m just now accidentally finding these guys. Chills

[@MO-ho8ev]

Had no idea who these guys were....saw them live when they opened for Dr. Dog in Detroit in 2016.....they absolutely crushed it. Been listening ever since.

[@ShookOnesTO]

Im actually blown away... I was just browsing songs on youtube and this came up so I said "fuck it, lets try it". It's easily one of the best songs I've heard in a long while.

[@JamesWerner]

People's blues of Richmond

[@t-gmailaccount6796]

J Grizzle you literally just saw a thumbnail and said "fuck it, let's try it."?

[@ShookOnesTO]

Do you abuse your dog? why are its ears down?

[@t-gmailaccount6796]

J Grizzle yeah, he was sad as fuck. He had just had his nuts cut out and was wearing a cone. Probably the saddest day of his life.

[@t-gmailaccount6796]

J Grizzle and he was on pain meds lol

[@oliviarose530]

Been listening to these guys for a little bit now and they definitely deserve more recognition than they have. True talent by far

[@oliviarose530]

Wow, commented this over 2 years ago now and this still remains one of my all time favorite songs & favorite band. It makes me feel something every single time. Will forever follow what these guys put out.

[@succulentnips]

olivia rose I couldn't agree with you more on this same thing...I'm still blown away.

[@elizamelia5577]

@@oliviarose530 ive gotta tell you I feel the same. Found the districts about 3 years ago and been my favorite band since

[@jaschamusic2616]

absolutely underrated band! kinda feel bad about me at 5 (when this came out) not knowing and supporting them

[@bravejuice]

This is hilarious

[@richtofen4888]

Hahahah TRUE!

[@enayem1]

😂😂😂

[@transparent2429]

Dude is playing lead guitar, singing, and harmonica. So much talent and passion

[@TheSituation365]

The amount of passion coming from this group is incredible. The pinnacle being when he takes the harmonica from around his neck to belt the next line. wow.

[@Lizawrites]

He’s feeling this. This is a MOOD. We’ve all been there, and if not, maybe you should. Pure emotion. Met the entire band. I had to jump through some hoops, but it was worth it.

[@BuddhaBoomer]

Still feeling that soul in 2020 RIP to the loved ones lost from Covid-19

[@hunterwolma1547]

It's still amazes me how passionate they are about their music. I mean yeah you could say that for every artist but still. You can just see it in their faces. I really hope these guys get known worldwide like Coldplay. This bands music has helped me through a lot. And music in general has. I play at school in orchestra and jazz band. It helps a lot. I encourage anyone to get into it. These guys are perfect examples of it, they take life lessons and experiences and put them into music like no one else. This I why I think everyone can relate... Just read and listen to the lyrics.

[@jibiji123]

+Hunter Wolma you *should* be able to see that for every artist*... unfortunately now adays you can't :\

[@damonleeb]

Love the districts. So underrated

[@florenceplanche8447]

oh mon bébé,,je ressens toute la douleur de ces cris,,que je n ai pu voir,,,je t aime tant,,,tu me manques mon ange,,,,tu étais pur,,bienveillant,,je ne sais pas comment vais je finir sans toi,,,

[@aaroninlatin]

The dynamics are fabulous. For young kids their songwriting is on another level. I am going to make it my goal to spread the word about these guys. Awesome how they're from Lititz as well.

[@OpaTheOpenminded]

That song brought an incredible vibe to my emotion. The lead singer has a very special flame burning inside of him.

[@MaeGelbachx]

Came across this song by accident at 11pm in a mess hall, high as hell and with the people I love most in this world. Forever my favorite song of all time. Can't wait to see them live someday.

[@MaeGelbachx]

Update: Just saw them live for the first time last night. It was like hearing the song again for the very first time.

[@conormaloney9849]

5 years later and this song still hits so hard. This band deserves more recognition...so underrated

[@Vinylmusic98]

The way he sings I need you in my heart is so beautiful

[@ryansouth1142]

2023 the districts hits different

[@SH3RIFF187]

Love the build up to the ending. So amazing.

[@AlexLikesBritain]

I will never get bored of this. God this band is amazing!

[@myketchup]

Amazing, found this band accidentally... you can feel they play from their hearts with passion... it's not always like this nowadays...

[@ShookOnesTO]

Passion... I like that word and I think that sums this band up well.

[@parkerblackwood1891]

I went to their concert and it was the most perfect, passionate feeling:) Their music, lyrics, and style are the best, I just wish more people knew about them so they could hear the greatness!!

[@WashedKingJos]

Came across this song three years ago in my freshman year of college. When i heard it I knew it was an instant classic. I've been performing their work all over my area, and the music is so true three years later here I am once again.

[@evanoakley5116]

Chills and tears every time

[@Asheton34]

2018 and Im just now hearing this song. Safe to say that I've been missing out.

[@strumbadstroller7350]

so..........I'm looking through the line up for end of the road festival & I come across these fellas. Oh my, I am so looking forward to seeing Them before they go onto the main stages........& they will.

[@johnny_moviekid8846]

the songs from this album came from the heart. Whenever I feel nostalgic about those times I listen to this one song.

[@brookspatrickallen]

What you are witnessing is the beginning of something. Something big. More importantly: something that people will love. Passion and collaboration are two working hands within this video... but it's everything that words aren't able to describe that make me love what I am watching here. Keep it up, fellas.

[@Isaiahscheel]

That breakdown gave me major goosebumps, these guys are something else.

[@iBrez45]

oh man, the last minute gave me CRAZY shivers. the kind that my all time favorite songs give me

[@Sarah24862]

The emotion in his voice gives me goosebumps every time.

[@acdc192837465]

Saw these guys last night and they came back out with an encore and played this song. Awesome night!

[@AreYouSoBad]

Wow I know all these guys from school (the vocalist is in my homeroom) and I am so happy to see that they're getting this much attention! They really deserve it!

[@guttermoss]

I saw this live on Saturday. Wow, experiencing this live was magic. Everyone went crazy and I was all the way in front of the pit!!!

[@Chickenphatksme90]

This is talent and THIS is what the world needs.

[@littleloudluke88]

i remember coming across these for the first time. there was a hardcore/metal band a friend told me to check out who are also called Districts, and i accidentely clicked this video, and i was hooked from the intro. it's completely expanded my taste in music and now i can safely say i've found a new favourite band. so thank you for making awesome music i guess :)

[@quinn3249]

just saw them live the other day, they're such babies here lol

[@miskmoney]

dude on the mic gave me goosebumps.. so much heart.

[@jacoblandis2787]

Love the Districts. Been to a few of their concerts. Too good of a band, only being freshmen in college. So happy you guys are getting known! It's awesome and good luck with everything in the futute.

[@samwilliamson8907]

proper passionate, this guy feels music its so great to watch

[@litzymejia8817]

an old friend showed me this song, we are no longer friends but this reminds me of him.

[@aubrey4264]

I saw they have lived this weekend and was trying to check here if I like them. Now I’m convinced and will see them.

[@MauriceChavez353]

U guys are awesome and very talented. Go and make your dreams reality.

[@khina3055]

They are soo wonderful, I thank my bf for introducing me to this band. Gosh, there is passion in his voice.

[@UMPINC123]

been listening to this song on repeat all day, what a great song, good job guys!!!

[@beach-foxes]

Oh god they all look so young in this!! I've been listening to them since 2016, my first tattoo was the album art on A Flourish and a spoil, i miss them so much man i really hope i get to hear them play this live again one day :)

[@gamingking3640]

I listen to this song everyday. I love this band.

[@enayem1]

still such a beautiful performance

[@liammurphy91]

the whole song is unreal and especially the last parts. can't wait to see them blow up

[@ashdrohan]

Best band going at the moment and have been for a few years

[@Oxtorius]

Pressing this video has been the biggest regret of my life. This song have been running 2 days in a row now. I've listened to it over a 100 times i'm sure

[@Aaronthackeray]

just seen these guys at leeds fest and i instantly fell in love

[@juliaa365]

I saw them at reading fest! The lead jumped off the speakers and I really started listening. They're just something else.

[@bmb0944]

I don't usually listen to this kind of music, but I would pay to hear more.

[@87Zorro]

In the addition to the other comments (singer, lyrics, etc.), I am also totally stunned by the drummer's performance and the sound mixing of the drums.

[@wallafestlive]

looooove this song. They're playing at the next Walla Fest on July 8th in Norristown, PA. So ya'll should make pland to boogie on down to Norristown!

[@xESPJx]

Great song guys. Sitting in class with some of you guys at school, i never thought you guys were that talented. Keep up the great work.

[@jakechs]

Almost closed the video before watching, clicked in to 1:30 just to check, immediately went back to watch the whole thing after hearing his voice. Awesome :D

[@OlyBassman]

No way, the crescendo into the drums/yelling is what really makes this song for me.

[@janovin]

The energy is palpable

[@rhondasilver3582]

Wow!!!!! He sings with his heart!! He is genuine!! Great band bro!!

[@DEGiorg]

I've never been more proud of something from my town.

[@JETTOtsuga14]

Stoked that folk music is becoming cool to young people.

[@RedRemus]

God bless KEXP radio for introducing me to upcoming artists

[@itwuzmagik]

This has a very good folk sound too it and I enjoyed listening to this very much. These kids have a lot of talent and I hope that it takes them somewhere.

[@teril733]

Saw them at ACLFest a year ago. I'm still obsessed with this song! #TheDistricts

[@TheHappys]

How could anyone call this generic when the kid is obviously so passionate! I won't say I'll listen to this music or not either way, but I respect the passionate honesty yo'.

[@pezboy350]

The world needs more new music with this kind of soul. I wish you all great success, now shut up and take my money!
