[@SDA-Sound]

These guys will single handedly be the salvation of "alt rock".. it's been re"genre"fied and miss labeled, electronic and hip hop have taken the MainStage and it will be bands like this.. with the soul of soul, heartbeat of electro, and simple luscious melody using bass, drums, guitars and his very pur young and hopeful tone. These guys are a true breath of fresh air no matter what their sound is a reflection of.. or whatever influences their sound is a refraction of.

[@Ready2FreakingPlow]

Alt-Rock is now pretty similar to pop, I'll give you that. But Joywave is basically an 80's rock act playing today. I don't know if I would call that "genre re-defining." But they're good. Really good. So who cares?

[@nickfichter3302]

+jeffrey kuziak These guys, Young the Giant, and Big Data are some of the best bands out there right now!

[@schuniza]

Not sure what the above dude was calling 80s rock. Love that genre but this isn't it. It's a conglomeration of influences from different genres and decades. To label it simply "80s rock" is not only incorrect, it downplays the actual complexity and purity of this sound.

[@selimertugrul3936]

his voice is just chill

[@thewaywardpoet]

While I obviously love music (that's why I'm here,) there are very few songs to which I'd apply the phrase "mind-opening." "Traveling at the Speed of Light" is definitely one of them. Every time I listen to it, my mental state is elevated and I'm taken on a chill spiritual journey.

[@bridareis7883]

Joywave can do that to you. Silversun Pickups is another band like that for me, you should try and listen one or two! Growing Old is Getting Old is golden.

[@thewaywardpoet]

I love Silversun Pickups, +Brida Reis! I actually love that song as well. I get what you mean. It's an awesome song. :D

[@crowsbunny4492]

Totally...

[@sydneysweeney9615]

The smiling drummer is great

[@thewaywardpoet]

Smoking a bowl and listening to this song makes for the best experience ever. :)

[@timmarshall5112]

this version needs to be on spotify. this entire set needs to be amplified

[@Eleebelle]

his singing gives you this weird chill, i just can't explain it !

[@eins2001]

Laying back and listening to this with closed eyes feels like traveling at the speed of light

[@bobstjoseph1026]

So glad they still perform this song. Can't wait to see them on their headlining tour early this year! One of the most inventive and talented bands out there...

[@strikerforce17]

I never heard of these guys and now I can’t stop listening. This is what I needed ✨

[@dmdartfx13]

Love this song, wow, these guys are my favorite band of 2015. They evolved nicely. Such a nice rich clean sound & I hope you guys go far. Love listening to the new album on repeat. just can't get enough.

[@stickyvenom73]

Those 3 people that gave the song a thumbs down; what is wrong with you!!!

[@katyarivas6854]

Right?! If you dislike this song you really should seek professional help. This is gorgeous.

[@oliver7710]

They disliked that embarassingly gross stache, not the music itself.

[@katyarivas6854]

Oliver P Whaaaaaaat? The Armbruster stache is pure epicness 😍

[@Angela-M.D.]

I absolutely love Joywave!!! Strings, voice, drums, feeling, lyrics...everything 👏👏👏

[@dreamlaguniverse4604]

If an Audiotree grows music but no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?

[@Chryssy512ATX]

I don't know how long I've been alone... Perfect.

[@rexrussell3433]

Love this style of music video, live, in studio, with no extra "concept" crap going on to distract from the musicians. Great song again by this band, I've just added four of their songs in a row to my playlist. I have a feeling I'm going to be listening to this band for a while now.

[@hollymolly5557]

+Rex Russell this is nt a music video its a live preformance?

[@Meludox]

+Holly Molly It is a video with music. It is a music video.

[@rexrussell3433]

Meludox Yeah, like I said, its a music video of a live performance.

[@Cowboybrian01]

My new favorite Joywave song 👌🏻

[@myairspace121]

Such a great band o.o

[@alehra]

It's so wild seeing how different this is from the 2015 version that came out in How Do You Feel Now? but I still love both versions. I just love this song! One of my favorites by them still and I hope I get to hear it live one day.....

[@laughingcharizardbrothers1121]

I don’t think this song gets the fame/credit it deserves

[@CloverWoodss]

Beautiful

[@calvinwinsgames1114]

If you guys like this band you would lovvvvvve snowmine they are my fav and this genre exactly

[@4delsy]

I'm kinda late but live performances of this song are gold

[@davidnavratil1809]

masterpiece :) they should be much more fames then they already are, awesome :) i wish all the best

[@barblk1420]

Love you guys.

[@barblk1420]

Beat song, speaks to my soul.

[@Moonroofmusik]

Love audio tree

[@hecbox5497]

great song!

[@chiot3035]

Saw them perform on my campus (U Rochester) and they were great! They are part of the Tim Avery benefit show (Roc4Tim.com) on December 3rd. If you want to see 10 hours of Joywave's friends, please come. All proceeds go to Avery's cancer treatment.

[@SM-McKraken]

the singer reminds me of Freddie Mercury

[@foolishfire4784]

***** for real. I was wondering where this uncanny resemblance was coming from, but nothing was coming till you guys mentioned it.

[@dieterbrandau1994]

wow

[@fundeek]

Shirts are meant to be buttoned, sly. Lets play a game where you try to be the hipster that can say something nice without saying something mean first. I've got it set to difficult mode, so don't cry if it takes a while to finish the first few levels.

[@cewapaiget5734]

Why is this comment so awesome?

[@bridareis7883]

I was going to say something about this but you've got it.

[@TEGamer]

Crikey 2x speed still sounds good

[@MH5tube]

psh that little moustache

[@brandonenders8512]

i know these guys are great but my favorite band of all time " snowmine" is sooooooooooooooo unseen and makes me actually upset people dont like this type of music more.

[@ReckoningTruthR]

Illuminated purple coded, audio to health, or hurt,,

[@jasonnorkeveck4797]

i really dig the instruments but idk about the singing.. lol

[@OurNeighborsCat]

Kinda old comment, but have you heard how his voice sounds on albums after effects? Wayyy cooler, but I do like both

[@katyarivas6854]

are you serious right now?

[@TEGamer]

@@bluegigabites lets see u get a reply from him after sending that 4 years later, meme

[@TEGamer]

DJ good point

[@AC-hf9pb]

This is song is amazing but his live vocals need some work, it's a shame because the rest of the performances are superb

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

singer kinda cute ig

[@jgodin312]

So many button-down shirts buttoned up all the way...sigh. Very solid performance though.

[@nicko6075]

I like the instrumental arrangement quite a bit. The vocalist however... Not a fan of the tone, or the vibe.
