[@TraceyAnita3]

Please stream their music,buy merch,and buy music as much as possible. ARMY let’s go! Let’s show the music industry who we are again!

[@wrighteousj]

One thing I never doubt is that we have the greatest listeners in the world ❤️💚💙

[@nmbat5036]

I’ve never chased a dream but I do know what it’s like to be the smallest boat in the roughest waters. You guys are strong. Your reach may not be at a level your talent deserves but it will get there. The support you do have is solid. Fall back on it when you need to. Thanks for the update. Looking forward to everything that’s next for CoS ❤️💚💙💜

[@snagglejag1977]

Keep fighting! The Madness and ARMY (and MadARMY) have your back. You're having your 2016 BTS moment, but you'll come through like they did. I have faith in you and CoS. Burn it. Phoenixes always rise.

[@smallieT]

You're not a narcissist. I'm a therapist and I'm pretty sure I know how they sound. You're someone who cares passionately about what you do and why you do it. I know BTS and other artists who you love and respect would feel the same way if they listened to how you connect to us and heard the artistry and quality of your music. Authenticity means telling yourself the truth- you have to honor the self and what it needs. Humility means knowing you can't do it all alone. We love you for reaching out and being real.

[@armymomot7931]

When you make the Industry shake in their fossilized boots … When you produce messages that the whole world needs… when you sound as beautiful as your band absolutely does … AND When you make your fandom Sit Up ; Think ; Listen ; and Boldly Fight With Y’all to the Daaumn Finish Line … Then You Know WHY to keep pushing Forward! I’m glad I found your music ! You ARE reaching us , out here in the Void. We hear you ! Run~Aim~Fight ! MadnessArmy Swiftly Assemble!! ❤️‍🔥🤟🏼 🏹💟❤️💚💙💟🥷🏻

[@abbey9818]

I’m so sorry 😔 I’m a relatively new listener of City of Sound and found you through BTS, but please stay strong! I’ve had CoS songs on repeat on Spotify these last few days, and it’s such a beautiful blend of genres and sounds. I wish my words had the power to fix everything, but please know you have a fan supporting you from afar. You are a musical genius with mad talent, so please, please have faith and keep your head up! Sending love from Seattle ❤️

[@leles8422]

Even if the updates don’t get as much views now they make up a part of your journey. You may well inspire others who see you digging in despite opposition.

[@Nuka_Girl_Dusty]

I feel this. It's been a very dark few months all around. There's this song that I keep coming back to though, and there's a few lines that really stick with me... maybe you've heard them 😉 "No, don't let go You're not alone Here in the darkness May shadows find a heart still beating Hold, Just once more Tell the storm Here in the darkness May shadows find a heart still beating" You got this. The Madness is with you. (And Nova and Andrew) 🧡

[@wrighteousj]

DAMN ❤️💚💙

[@sonablom]

Thanks for sharing and being real with us. Part of a true ride or dye fandom is sharing the bad as well as the good. Rooting for you guys! Lets all stay strong together with hopes and dreams for the future.

[@LoveDimashali]

What respect I have for you! I JUST discovered you a couple of weeks ago via Dimash, and I just heard of your band and I will support your band 100%. You are such a beautiful man, inside AND out!! You have that same positivity that Dimash has in his life, and THAT is what is going to take you very far and I'm so glad that I get to take that journey with you! Side note: EVERY PERSON that is successful is slightly narcissistic, so no shame in THAT!! Much love back to you! It's lovely, too, that you took the time out to react to our beloved Dimash while you are going through such problems! 😍

[@wrighteousj]

🥹 thank you for this, and welcome tot he Madness 🥹❤️💚💙

[@lilsmiles86]

Sending love and light to you and your bandmates. Onwards and upwards. 🩷

[@khills]

Spite is a powerful motivator. 😊 (And I cannot wait for the acoustic Andromeda!)

[@leemiyu1386]

When people are afraid, they attack. And that's exactly what the supposedly big players in the industry are doing right now. Which is proof of how incredibly good CoS is. I wish you weren't under this pressure. Futures is gonna be ok and the best is yet to come. Fighting. I send you lots of strength for your journey. You can do it. Madness is with you. And.... Hey ARMY you know how it goes. Let's show everyone what a purple ocean can do. With the Red, blue and green of CoS we become a rainbow with a pot of incredible music at the end. We don't need gold we have something much better... CoS. ❤️💚💙💜

[@KatrinaMarie614]

Holding space for y’all, certain y’all will come out on the other side victorious 💫

[@johnz6977]

Bro you are working hard and striving for something many would never have the tenacity to pursue. That in and of itself is an incredible achievement regardless of the ultimate outcome. Your musical abilities are also remarkable - the volume of music you have written that is of such high quality is so impressive. Life is very unpredictable and you never know what opportunities suddenly come around the corner when you are on the grind and striving for success. Just keep working hard and pursuing whatever feels right in your heart and you’ll end up in the right place.

[@wrighteousj]

My dude 🤝

[@Ladiescorpio43]

Thanks! Loved your reactions, especially bts. Yes, I am army. Like your music too and wish you a lot of strength and success! Following you on spotify. It is only a little far for me to visit your concerts. 😊 You will make it! Stay strong!

Thank you! 💜 Hang in there mister man. Hard work, dedication, passion & sincerity will pay off. Embrace this experience and remember the struggle. It’s part of your journey. Great things will come… you’ll see. Remember to look back on this time with fondness and always remain humble. If you’re true to this… really true in mind, body and soul… your talent will be recognized and the world will know you.✌️🤟

[@wrighteousj]

Ummm wow…thank you….

Sending you and COS lots of love & purple light 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Looking forward to hearing and seeing the video for "Us" - You all are amazingly talented!

[@lorismith5195]

Sometimes being told you can’t or won’t is the biggest motivator. A big “oh, yeah? Watch this”. We’ll keep watching. Because you aren’t done. The messages your band conveys are important. Uplifting. Give hope. This world needs everything you can give it. Stay strong!

[@wrighteousj]

Thank you!

[@Koreankimmie]

We are here to support!! Keep going!! Got you all on my spotify, and I will look out for the new song, new music. Hang on tight!! Also what venues do you tend to perform at? We are lovers of music, and live music is my thing and my friends.

[@tohden4999]

I'm a new subscriber and listener, so I feel very much late to this party, but I just wanted to say that when I randomly clicked on one of your vids and started watching it was immediately clear that I'd found something special. I LOVE y'alls music, and I admire your courage and relentless in the face of adversity. And yeah, ya know what, it *is* really fucking inspiring actually. I guess I just wanted you to know you are indeed reaching people. Thanks for the amazing music, for the laughs, and for keeping it real. Let's kick some ass! ✊❤

[@wrighteousj]

🥹❤️💚💙 thank you

[@cherylloper7320]

Never apologize for chasing your dream!!!! NEVER!!! I truly feel Gods got this!!! You've done and are doing everything you can!!!!! The selfish part of me would never not want to see you here on You Tube! But if you decide something else is better for you guys, there is no shade from me! Im praying for the break you need!!!! Go COS!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@lexus14btsarmy]

I am so glad to hear that you are not letting your defeats defeat you. You are a gifted, passionate songwriter with amazing band mates. Stay strong and keep the faith as we continue to support you on this journey.❤❤

[@aroundtheworldvideo6570]

Thanks!

[@wrighteousj]

WHAAAAAAT!!!!???????

[@marsheboi1728]

Can't wait for the new song coming out! Keep chasing, you've worked so hard to continue to stand here today. Much love, you guys got this!

[@SongbirdAliWhispers]

Hang in there! Looking forward to what's next for CoS ❤

[@hajconsult]

I pray that you continue to be strong. 🥰❤🤞👍🙏❤💯

[@FreyaStark26]

This video really touched my heart and I feel compelled to say this: I've been watching your reaction videos to Taylor Swift's performances because I am a Swiftie. I've grown to appreciate/admire your passion for music and the artistry that goes into every layer of music and performing arts. Truly, music is the closest thing to magic we have on this earth. It is the most divine and spiritual of all the art forms because it can travel the furthest the fastest and give the listener intense feeling. The journey you are on is so important. Being able to reach others with the message your want to share is worth the struggles and sacrifices. I wish you and your band all the success in the world. People who love the craft the way you do deserve the success. Best of luck to you ♥

[@katb7996]

Keep fighting and stay healty. You will reach your goal ❤

[@islgrl292]

I appreciate that. The fact we never heard of NW in the US tells us all about the big guys control of EVERYTHING!

[@unicornclouds8399]

Hey, I’m so sorry you are going through this, keep fighting, your day will come I’m sure of it. Until then we will continue to support you xx

[@fransr23]

Keep fighting!! We are rooting for you !! It is rough, it is exhausting, but your band is really amazing (great music, vibe and message) and I genuinely believe that you can do it !! I found your band last year, the ending, and make me fall in love again with a musical genre that I left behind (for reasons, u know life in general) Sending you and your bandmates all the strength 🙌🏻 I'll be streaming more than ever, hope that helps even a little 💪🏻

[@P0SHED]

I always think that I have to deep dive into the band. And I’m sorry that I haven’t gotten to that yet. I just listened to some of your music on Spotify. I will check out the band content on KZbin this weekend - I promise 👍🏻🫡 But I’m sending you a lot of love and hugs!!! Wishing for the best and that great people will help you out and take care of you all.

[@wrighteousj]

O thank you!

[@heatherk3317]

Thanks for the update 😊 I love your music and I’m so excited for the new song! Wishing you guys all the best! 💜😊

[@Lizbeth1203]

I wish you guys didn't have to go through this. We have faith in you & your music, so stay strong. I wish we could do more to help with your finances, but y'all are amazing & we believe in you. I've been off sms a lot lately (bc life happens) but I've been telling a lot of people irl about you. Sending you Love & light, bro.💜 We don't want you back here in Indiana (ya know I'm just kidding, right, lol?!) so stay stubborn! COS fighting 💪 ❤️💚💙💜

[@wrighteousj]

That’s all we need! And don’t worry I WANT to be back in Indiana, but on my own terms and property 🥹❤️💚💙

[@aroundtheworldvideo6570]

Wishing you all the best and I will continue to support you as best I can. Your sound is a great one. Please don't give up.

[@Windymar1974]

y'all got this. we have faith and you and Madness is behind you every step of the way

[@borealash1411]

Buy the Merch it goes directly to the band. Even if at a concert buy the merch. A portion may go to the promoters etc. But majority goes to the band. Keep fighting the good fight! Be independent as long as you can The White Buffalo from Cali was independent forever. Not sure if he started his own label. The amount of money that the industry takes (especially in the US is insanity) For love of god DO NOT sign with 604 records! They claim to love different sounding bands but in the end to fulfill the contracts and compromise or no promotion

[@carsap1489]

Keep going! Love your music ❤

[@rofingback76]

Bro you will do it, unfortunately I can’t listen music on Spotify but I’ll do it in Apple Music. Good luck!!

[@wrighteousj]

Appreciate you so much!

[@terracooley7447]

I’m ignorant to some of this stuff….what’s Web3? I’m purchasing some of your merch. I will continue to listen on Spotify, watching your KZbin videos, and supporting the best way I can. Hang in there. You got this! You have your fans plus ARMY supporting you! Thanks for all you do!

[@wrighteousj]

O thank you for buying merch!!! And thank you for Spotify! Web3 is a decentralized area where people buy art but there’s a lot of scammy crypto stuff so you have to be super careful!

[@astraldeva]

As an artist, I often feel like giving up... thinking no one sees what I create. Why do I work so hard for it? But if it can put a smile on one person's face... inspire, even if it's just one person, then that's it. That's everything. And I keep picking up my pencil and creating. I understand your drive. I understand that passion. Keep going, your music is wonderful. It's not often I hear magic in music, but your band has it. You'll get there, keep fighting. I'm cheering for you - and listening on Spotify.

[@TooOldForThisShit72]

This was a very good song. Stay strong and keep fighting eventually it will turn for better things for you, you are very talented, it's not my style of music but I think you have very good songs anyway. I really think you are a great person and I like seeing your videos, you have an amazing voice. I ave no doubt in my mind that you will succeed eventually so just keep going.

[@schafferable]

Keep your head up... and moving forward, in spite of all the crud.

[@PJ6342]

We need you please keep fighting against the odds.

[@lina808waterwings]

is there a way you can curate your own mini concert and share it virtually? you will know where the camera is for your key shots and the camera will know where the f*ck you are! see I watch this channel, lol. merch is cute. dog has head band as a collar! Aloha.

You will succeed! I have faith in you and City of Sound" ...the darker the shadow,the brighter the light..." BTS!😊💜🫡

[@melindeobox]

Sending you guys MASSIVE amounts of love from overseas. 🫂💙💚❤️💜 Maybe also looking into matchsticks bulk orders. Just in case, you know. The fossilized practices in the industry and their dedication to maintain their monopoly on music is rage-inducing. But we know how to channel rage into streaming so 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈 This Madness is gonna go off and do just that. With a vengeance. Until y'all fill stadiums and have a big fat bag of mic-drop worthy trophies to waves in their undeserving faces. Your fighting spirit is admirable. Managing to dust yourself off and not quit despite the adversity you face is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with us, despite how emotionally rough it was. I know content creation and production helps the channel grow and the band too but I hope you don't exhaust and push yourself too hard or past your own limits to do so. We value you beyond the content 💜

I thank you for the update - we will continue to support you - let us know when you struggle then we will be able to assist to raise you up - we are thousand of arms on your back to that support you keep standing - post link to your merch and where we can purchase your music - FYI - I have learned so much from your video (I do tend to the BTS ones) such as how fog effects your vocal voice - I had no idea as a non-singer - thank you

[@wrighteousj]

Ummm WHAT wow…..uh…thank you??? 🥹❤️💚💙

[@rjbirmingham]

@@wrighteousj Like I said as a non-singer (ok I break windows if I try) I have learned a great deal from your breakdowns - I have shown the one where you explain how singer (it was Jimin can't sing) voices are effected by the fog/smoke - I saw that at a concert I was at the other week - never knew and now I know it was NOT the singers vocal issue - wish I was closer - looking forward to the day you tour and hit the Orlando Hard Rock for a concert - will be there when you come
