Absolutely fucking superb set, unreal album. Still blasting it in 2024

[@hectors03]

This album is so full of memories to me. It was early 2012, I had just moved to a new city, in another state, all by myself. When I discovered them I played both albuns no stop. But the first one was and will always be my favorite. Music is just fantastic.

[@sevenstarzares]

Hector Rodrigues same. So many memories of a free time I had in my own life. New place, new college , new gears. Music saves souls and reminds them how they did it.

[@Haganino1]

@@sevenstarzares SAME! Exactly the same!!!!

[@billbored8277]

Beautiful music to have such great memories attached to.

[@g0dzilla_au]

To this day, in stressful situations I still have the lines come to me: "stay calm, stay clam, stay clam". Sung in his voice it just elicits happiness and really brightens the mood.

[@nckats]

God I love hearing an accent in a song, it's a good refresh from American music.

[@hellmasterxx]

when plays Quiet Little Voices, I lost a piece from my soul. aewsome song!

[@trickster_qc]

Big big thumbs up for audio engineer Craig Montgomery! The sound quality is pretty darn good.

[@mattyroze]

This band needs to be listened to more.

[@brad238899]

I saw these guys live in Nashville a couple years ago and I felt like I was taking advantage of them by paying full price for a ticket. It was like they just found out that this was the last show they would ever be allowed to play and they left it all on the stage. This is one of those groups that will blow your mind when you see them live.

[@sixedition761]

Just did. W.O.W.

[@gojolumo]

Saw them play twice. Once in san luis obiso and LA. Both shows were fucking amazing.

[@chrisk4713]

Your comment sums it up nicely. They took the roof of Ampere in Munich last night. Mad mad mad show. The atmosphere they created was so immersive and tangible it literally left me with tears of joy with a hint nostalgia. What an experience.

[@deremma7824]

Fantastic band with one of the best albums in the last 30 years. Many, many spins on my turntable and in my head.

[@peterfleming4967]

In 2011 I went to a festival in Brighton, England where over 300 bands play at 50 different venues in the city. I went to see this band for no real reason other than their name sounded interesting. It was the best live performance I have ever seen, 10 years later I still listen to WWPJ every, single, day. Fate is wonderful

[@unwantedscrub]

I found them from Saints Row IV.. lol Circles and Squares was the anthem of my teenage years

[@Filipomnomnom]

The pain when It's Thunder and It's Lightning starts... I swear i can feel that song in my bones

[@rhysknight4670]

Truly! That song does something to my soul!

[@Warrogue1]

They sound very tight, very polished. Love them. Seen their shows three times!

[@Haganino1]

I cried in most of the songs! So much power and feeling! And so many memories! They are like grandkids of the original punks! Awesome! Still love you, guys!

[@gregguthrie7746]

Love them....epic debut album. Many many spins...

[@iwillnevergetone5]

my man is wearing an Audiotree shirt on a KEXP broadcast. its the ultimate WCW//WWF monday night wars again

[@phildogMcfly]

I absolutely love We Were Promised Jetpacks! 💙

[@koreypaul6698]

One of my favorite albums ever. I never the day I saw it at the library and borrow the CD. Been a fan ever since.

[@TacAnderson]

Love this band so hard. This was such a great tour.

[@jaylunar3561]

Saw these dudes on this tour about ten days or so later in Dallas. Top Five all-time band.

[@ianngalbraith]

These guys are legit talent.

[@Mcccheese]

I just discovered this band.perfect absolutely perfect

[@ploytuell1332]

Saw these guys last week on reeperbahn festival. Amazing show!!! Soooooo goood.

[@jofafina]

esta banda está infravalorada, me siento afortunada de conocerlos desde adolescente. Me encantan!

[@kylerobertelliott]

So glad I found this band. Unreal talent

[@TheLaaiila]

i'm just criyng listening it again after all these years! Thanks!!!!

[@joshdroppedoff]

i just saw them in Philly in July, got to meet Adam and Darren and got a signed copy of TFW on gold vinyl. it was one of my favorite days ever.

[@nicolaburch7878]

So me and my husband just had prem twins born 21st dec 2020 12 weeks early but he plays this album every day quiet little voices and keep warm so apt for what we are going through every day thank you jetpacks

[@gaggagliojett8033]

in the 「Roll Up Your Sleeves」,the drummer's voice is so ethereal, is so wonderful, I hope you guys bebetter, blessing from China.

[@mikeydudez120]

Finding this today on youtube has absolutely made my day, thank you KEXP and WWPJ!

[@jhefty123]

I love this album so much. I saw them in Indianapolis a long time ago and they blew me away. These songs are so good.

[@mycrustytoe]

Lucky enough to have seen these guys play various venues in Scotland over the last 4/5 year. Already got my ticket for the next time they play in the area, never ever heard a bad gig from them. 100% recommend anyone to go see them live at least once no matter what kinda music you're into! 🤟

[@object_ash]

I was born in 2005. My early years were in the late 2000's and early 2010's and I always wish I was my age during those times. This music reminds me of my home city of Glasgow during those times and warms my heart and with the passing of time and with how their music has changed, it feels like I've grown up with them. Also, am I the only one who would love this version of the album on vinyl?

[@effveekaay]

my teacher made fun of the name we were promised jetpacks and i got him to listen to quiet little voices and he love it. it was funny as shit

[@gasonliner]

great sound, first time hear them. reminds me a bit of the most genius things from Bloc Party's Silent Alarm. the same aftertaste

[@alleahsasseville]

A band that sounds even better live!! ❤

[@ThatGuy4203]

Still hear in canda wishing I could see these guy live anywhere

[@zOOmer991]

I like in the pit of the stomach more, but great seeing these guys here again!

[@petiteluciole9662]

thank you for this, needed it

[@strandedlantern]

I bought this album when it was brand new because I liked the band's name! I've been a fan ever since! Thank you KEXP for uploading this video. The album sounds as good now as it did back then!

[@koreypaul6698]

Same! Snowballed into me listening to The Twilight Sad, Frightened Rabbit, Mogwai and more...

[@billbored8277]

I hope they make it through Seattle again one day....... I have to see them live, just once.

[@IvySmitch]

KEXP live never dissapoints and this is proof! Love WWPJ! Full of rich emotion and talent. Awesome to see live video of them, thanks!!!

[@DrPool]

Will see them tonight in Cologne, Gloria Theatre (Germany)! YESS! Although I expected a gig with new and old songs, it's nice to enjoy the first album as a concept show. Thanks KEXP for abbreviate my anticipation! :-)

[@a.e-mann8576]

Gott bin ich neidisch.

[@DrPool]

@@a.e-mann8576 Ist noch nicht ausverkauft, das Gloria ist gerade mal halbvoll. Sehr relaxte Stimmung im Publikum. Halbe Stunde noch...;-)

[@deremma7824]

War auch da, ein wahnsinnig geiles Konzert...

[@oursb2000]

Saw them In Antwerp !!!! Really great !

[@Grylliade3]

I saw them open up for Bad Veins back in 2009 at the End in Nashville. After my face melting from the onslaught that night from both bands. I've been a fan ever since.

[@OlegRaccoon]

I've discovered new excellent band here recently! Everyday on repeat for the last week! :)

[@scotth611]

This is really fucking special. I saw this band years ago at a tiny festival in England. Phenomenal.

[@maxp4573]

[@nicolaburch7878]

[@deliciousfalcon1907]

realmente queria que essa banda fizesse mais sucesso pra vê-los tocando no brasil

[@LuisDivaldi]

Cada que los escucho me siento en la preparatoria otra vez. Que tiempos y que banda. No lo sé. Pero Ojala vengan a Guadalajara, acá en México.

[@offthestreetsproductions]

[@Leebsey]

[@mcride1677]

like bro honestly imagine adam singing for little lion man instead of whoever mumford’s son is im willing to bet it would sound better than the real song

[@skyebirdaerials8773]

fuckin great!!!!!

[@potatoescobar]

I cannot believe the director cut away from the mega BLACK in It's Thunder and It's Lightning. Utter shambles.

[@hairyneil]

Always used to see their name on gig posters in the 13th Note but never actually saw them, always thought it was a great band name.

[@JackMort66]

Your body was black and blue Your body was black and blue Your body was black and blue Your body was black and blue Your body was black and blue Your body was black and blue Your body was black and blue YOUR BODY WAS BLAAAAAAAAAAA 😵

Audio quality wowow. Music hmm very interesting

[@Sagittarius-81]

And, Les, has been found, in a better place. :(

[@Sagittarius-81]

But, what do I know? I'm using hyroglyphics! :D

[@darrylswan]

They seem pretty upset that they haven't got their jetpacks yet. Good tunes though, enjoyed this set.

[@mcride1677]

this is what mumford and sons wanted to sound like but they were unfortunately american

[@klusblody]

Guitars un Short Burst sounds awful, everything else nice nice.

[@gaydiscotheque]

WTF is this guy saying? Mumble Rock is a thing now?

[@suspendedhatch]

Not their best.

[@HimanXK]

To be fair, it's really fucking hard to play at the speed they used to perform at. And maybe the vocals have just fallen out of his range over time.

[@edrod8807]

If you haven't seen them live yet you should! I saw them play in LA a few months ago, one of the best live performances I've witnessed. These guys play so hard and his voice is so raw with emotion. I was very impressed by the end of the show how they managed to be so alive the whole time. Its funny because I felt out of breath with all the singing and jumping I did lol. They sound really good already don't get me wrong, but they sound even better live and it was great to see how much emotion they put into their music. It was one of those shows while as you're walking back to your car, you're like " damn that just happened".

[@innerspacesurfer]

So stiff.

[@jasonablah7702]

This is so terrible loll
