Lovejoy On The Meaning Behind Their Name + Play A Game Of "Who Knows Who Better?"

[@emcurl]

hi! it's your host Emily here - love seeing all the fans in the comments!! What was your fave part of the interview? xx

[@Aurora_Animates]

Hi! It was a great interview glad you had them on. I liked how it asked unique questions instead of standard ones :) and the game was fun too!

[@Checkerbear]

Hiii it was an amazing interview!! I really liked the game at the end :)

[@Gertie2246]

My favorite part was definitely the game

[@starry.cb97]

my favortie part was when ash said

[@zuhalyilmaz3570]

My favourite parts were the ones that felt more like a conversation than an interview like when they told about how they threatened Ash to join their band

[@baboo9736]

So weird to see them in a professional interview setting, cramped on a ruby backdrop, but professional lol. The interviewer did an amazing job! Very good conversation flow. You never know with these indie bands whether its going to be pleasant or unbearably awkward.

[@Aurora_Animates]

Ikrrrr!

[@alexisdoty8313]

I’m so so proud of Lovejoy, they’ve grown and now they’re doing interviews with I HEART RADIO!! Forever proud of these 4

Dude I can't believe I got to see how exponentially Wilbur has grown since 2019. Crazy to have been on this journey since what feels like is so long ago. Really proud of how far Lovejoy has come and the history they're making. Thinking about the days I would just spend refreshing my KZbin feed to see a new Wilbur single release and when Lovejoy dropped their first song, Taunt featuring Georgenotfound in the music video. It's been a wild ride, and I look forward to see the future of Lovejoy and it's members

I don’t really watch interviews but this was cool. The part when ash said “ “ was honestly, so funny love that bit

I dont really know if it is a bit or not.. but as someone with situational mutism it means a lot to me to have someone like ash just.. exist Its still funny tho-

[@sephtis9203]

@@mikado_m i think it is a bit, but then again he doesnt even talk to his band mates, so ig you never know lol

[@that1fangrl]

@@mikado_m Ash not speaking is absolutely a bit when he appears on twitch streams. Him with James Marriott is a good example. He might have situational mutism, dont actually know, but he'll find ways of communicating and cracking jokes without speaking and it's a great time, the fans all love him

[@killurambitions]

only Will would come up with the words "bodacious, likeable, concrete" to describe a band. him and his funny words i also absolutely adore lovejoy and their music, ive been one of the many who've been around hearing progress about how 'are you alright?' was coming along before the bands name was even released. its crazy to see them grow and im glad ive been here to see it happen and continue.

wilbur was referring to the song Concrete when the host asked what song do they reccomend, not describing the band lol

for those who dont know, ash doesnt speak! they arent over shadowing him

I think he does, he's just quiet and doesn't really like talking on cam, like that's his whole thing in his vlogs and stuff but there's clips of him speaking out there! but yea they def aren't overshadowing him, if anything I think they're trying to make him more comfortable, which is super sweet

[@randomuser9201]

He does speak just not in the public like on streams, videos and stuff. He talks to his friends though and if you meet him in person he will talk to you

[@probablynoteliza]

@@akiwillo to both of you, i was just saying it as a general observation incase anyone was watching it and wondering is they just cut him speaking out :)

Yeah he speaks irl (I met him before it was so cool) but he chooses not to speak on camera.

I saw them at their first US show in NYC and they were brilliant, best gig I’ve ever gone to. 1000% recommend these boys.
