[@nuclear4951]

Please react to the oh hellos they are really cool!

[@a_Camila_Soares]

React to Lil Peep Pleasee

[@rubeh_862]

the creepiness of the songs is due to the band having a lot of lore and story to the band, I would also reccomend their new stuff such as Leave me alone and razzmatazz!

[@justlynn5382]

[@tehribbons1192]

I'd love to see another video with newer songs too like cluster hug would be great too :D

[@Teemsploit]

I prefer choke

[@shczzma3083]

razzmatazz is deffo my fave!

[@someoneawesome8717]

Social Climb is my favorite

[@inlaymanstermstv5098]

idkhow is a great band that loves to poke fun at music at a whole because both of them are kind of tired of the mainstream scene. a lot of the quirks from the videos are due to band lore but they basically styled their debut album like they’re an 80s band that got lost to time and then got rediscovered

[@tomsgrexit]

So, are they elitists??

[@av7099]

@@tomsgrexit they are elite

[@ozy6252]

​@@tomsgrexiti mean they were in panic at the disco theyre good

[@ripkylie]

Idkh is definitely my favorite band every song is an absolute banger and Dallons voice is so pleasing to my brain

[@Flash-mv8rn]

at their concerts they have their opening band come on at the end and sing "no one likes the opening band" with them,,, at least they did at my concert before covid lol it was very funny

[@timelordwarrior4394]

Yeah they did that here too. We got introduced to a mew band too

[@inkydiamonds]

GASPS IDK HOW?? OH THIS IS A GOOD DAY!! I would also recommend Tally Hall and Miracle Musical! They’re the same kinda area of Idk How and Lemon Demon even though they’re very different!

[@finpin2622]

love idkhow! Side note, I saw them in concert and they performed the song "no one likes the opening band" WITH their opening band, which was quite fun. And their opening band was actually fairly good on their own!

[@spaade]

You should listen to the brobecks. They are freaking amazing and it also has Dallon Weekes(the lead singer and bassist) as the frontman. Some good songs are: Better than me Goodnight socialite Bike ride I will,tonight And all of the drugs Edit: You should also listen to falling in reverse if you havent already. It has Ryan Seamen on the drums and their music is freaking awesome

[@tobyowen-hughes1306]

ABSOLUTELY YES! LISTEN TO THE BROBECKS! dallon weekes started in the brobecks as his high school band, then he was in panic! At the disco for a few years. And now we have idk how. He's a very consistant musician in all of his projects lol

[@rubeh_862]

Visitation of the ghost aswell ;) ;)

There are so many other songs that you didn't listen to that are amazing, I'm gonna get their names and then edit them into the comment Mx sinister, Leave me Alone, Absinthe, and bleed magic

[@waddle4647]

Fun fact: Dallon Weekes, the main singer, was actually a member of the Panic! At The Disco and had a major influence on their fourth album

[@starrtvee]

god im obsessed with idkhow. honestly one of my favorite songs recently has been clusterhug, something about it makes me instantly put it on loop lol

[@Nepisalright]

i love this band!! it’s a fave of mine, their songs choke and sugar pills go the hardest imo (i think you’d quite like sugar pills) also! you should definitely listen to half•alive! i recommend these songs -still feel. -the fall -creature (possibly the orchestra version cause that one GETS me) -Aawake at night -BREAKFAST -ok ok? -Pure Gold i’d say these are the ones that i like the most

[@atonofhats2185]

ooh i definitely agree with half alive!!! i recommend ice cold. as well

[@jennisangel4537]

I fucking JAM to sugar pills

[@koi_bee]

Im so glad Mathew loves IDKhow- its one of my favorite bands :)

[@theboogeyman2590]

fun fact (because I gotta use my music harmony knowledge somewhere), the "offbeat stuff" is called syncopation, where they don't put the main beat or the strong beat on the first beat of the bar and put more emphasis on whats usually soft beats to help push the music forward.

[@zoealessaagsalud135]

you should review ‘RAZZMATAZZ’ soon! it’s their first debut album. the one you reviewed was their ep. then listen to the brobecks next! it’s dallon’s (and ryan’s) previous band. idkhow has the ghost of the brobecks. idkhow has a song called ‘clusterhug’ which has a brobecks version (it was the first version and dallon didn’t want that song to just rot on the internet)

[@bbbun5390]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN THAT SHIT UP

[@aliuros8552]

5:55 The amount of times I've replayed that is unreasonable

[@TheOnlyEverPrincessCoveEver]

thank you for listening to social climb, that's really all i needed

[@JustSomeDude1213]

12:37 I remember listening to an opening band at a concert a few years ago and really liking them, now they’re one of my favorite bands. They were even on America’s Got Talent a few years after I saw them and got to the semifinals. I definitely know not to skip the opening band.

[@andy-kc8dz]

please dallon's one of my favorite vocalists, glad you're finally getting to them

[@cl0wnsanityX3]

Can you do "The mountain goats" specifically the song "No children"

[@coena9377]

I forget where but I’m pretty sure he’s actually mentioned they’re one of his favorite bands so I doubt he’ll do a reaction since he’s already familiar with their music.

[@imdone9967]

Mx. Sinister and Leave me alone would be really good for a part two

[@Rando_mIndividual]

I LOVE THEIR MUSIC! I’m so glad you’re reacting to them!

[@readyamefire3686]

I'm so excited these guys are my favourite band!!!

[@TheLadysAtelier]

They're rather unknown, but how about checking out the band "Dirt Poor Robins"? I love all their songs, but I particularly recommend "Great Vacation" (The original version from the album "The Cage") Nightinggale, Evergreen, Speak to Me, Never a Key and Maximilian von Spee are some other really amazing songs from them.

[@c.julietofcampjupiter8557]

I like the new one of Great Vacation too but really both deserve to be listened to on their own merits. Then again my first exposure to them was Part 3. They have a new album and a movie as well now (both that they posted to YT) and all of it is jamming

[@solivigantkaiba]

I really want him to listen to *half•alive* IDKHBTFM, half•alive, Unlike Pluto, Eve, and Dađi Freyr are some of my many favourites.

[@ValereeSayre]

Have you listened to the correspondents? The Correspondents - Fear & Delight will blow your mind

YESSS my fave band I'm so happy literally screamed when I saw the title 😭🤍

[@cristymontoya2934]

Not one bad song I love all their songs SO GOOD 💖💕

[@elenaderoet4926]

I stumbled upon these guys within the last year or two. I just turned 42 in September and they make me shake my butt around my kitchen and I don't care who's watching. They are great. Their music makes me happy- even the songs that are of the more depressive nature (kinda like Hollywood Undead's 'Bullet'). I can't listen to the one he wrote to his kid because it makes me so sad that I can't even get through making a comment about it without tearing up. That's the only one of their songs like that, though- at least that I've found.

[@Zevanix]

I went to a Grandson concert once and the ones opening were Royal & The Serpent, who I looked into since I didn't know them. Turns out I knew a couple songs and the ones I didn't know, I loved. I'm a big fan now

[@Radiowitch666]

Oh you know what you should listen to Eyedress if u haven’t! If you haven’t you should listen to Jealous, Separation Anxiety, Romantic Lover, and Last time I’m falling in love.

[@jordansilva5292]

I'm shocked you didn't go for some of their newer stuff except for Opening Band, still awesome to see it covered though

[@anicka_kozume]

they have a whole album called “razzmatazz”! also if u didn’t know, Dallon was a bassist, song writer and a back vocalist for panic! at the disco for a long time.

[@blueberryexists180]

i was really waiting for this!! :D are you gonna make a part 2?? they have so much more great music

[@milk-dq7fu]

I first saw IDK as the opening band for the aquabats back during an anniversary concert. After they sung opening band i was instantly hooked

[@TheGrossDemon]

I've been to like 3 concerts, and was blessed everytime. The first time I went to see MSI and they were opened by Morningwood who was playing their last show. The second one was kinda like a warp tour kinda thing but much smaller at a 6 flags, where I was literally only there for FOB so I skipped everyone lol. The last time was a FOB concert, they were opened by P!ATD, who was opened for by TOP. Thay was the night i discovered TwentyOne Pilots. Travis Mckoy also made an appearance to sing his part in a song lol.

[@pepdog1]

There actually is a music video for Choke somewhere out there! I would know, because seeing it on the music program Rage at like 10 pm is what got me into this band in the first place lmao anyway, great to see more people getting into this band, they're so good

[@bean3321]

ive wanted this for so long

[@bingus4118]

choke is one of my favorite songs im so glad you reacted to it!

[@zayamoone]

Modern Day Cain is my favorite song, I’m glad it was your first impression of them because it definitely catches you off guard. Social Climb is my other favorite of theirs. If you ever do a part two, even though it’s been a year, I definitely recommend listening to Sugar Pills, it’s a bop. The Brobecks is another great artist, it’s a band that had the two people from iDKHOW in it and it’s how they met!

[@alaaxte4872]

IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS MATHEW OMFG

[@ashleyparker3785]

Yass Great Job with this video it kept me entertained the whole time and all of the song choices were amazing. You always inspire me to listen to different types of music and this one hit harddd.

[@ciitadel2518]

YOOOO i'm so glad you listened to IDKHOW!! Loved hearing your thoughts on the music as always dude! I think if you were to ever do a part 2 you should totally listen to their new stuff from their album Razzmatazz. Specifically I'd recommend Leave Me Alone, Clusterhug, Sugar Pills, Mad IQs, and Need You Here but honestly any songs off that album would be great because they're all jams

[@thepositive_potato3019]

NO WAY OH MY GOD UVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS I LOVE YOUR CONTENT THANK YOU THIS MADE MY NIGHT MAN

[@goopster01]

You should definitely do another reaction to the razzmatazz album! It’s really good!

*cough* also if you like high notes may I recommend Sugar Pills from their Razzmatazz album

[@nothankyou6840]

Ok also I recommend the Christmas Drag EP basically all of the songs i promise I'll stop responding to my own comment now

[@amethystfox]

I'm so happy that you finally listened to them, they were the first ones I wanted you to listen to when I first found you. I hope you'll visit them again and listen to Razzmatazz

Could I recommend "The Hoosiers" (if he hasn't listened to them yet) Some song specifically: Goodbye Mr A A sadness runs through him Killer Run rabbit run

[@alaaxte4872]

worried about ray is also a tune :)

[@kattm.4114]

YOOOO!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!! please do a part 2 if you get a chance, and do some from their second album!! some i suggest are -leave me alone -razzmatazz -from the gallows -clusterhug and they have a single called mx. sinister that i think you’d like!!!

[@BloodyNosePhantom]

Hell yes I'm excited for this one Edit: did not disappoint

[@GoldKnightProduction]

Genuinely disappointed "leave me alone" wasn't in here.

[@sayurimmiranda]

[@_blu.and.white_]

Omg you should definitely do a part two with their newest album!! my favorites are: Razzmatazz Kiss Goodnight Door Clusterhug From The Gallows Honestly just listen to all of their music because they're all super good songs!

[@wianchy]

We need a part 2!! With some of their never songs like Sugar Pills

[@teally-bop]

This comment is 2 years old, and he still hasn't. (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻ P.S. Sugar Pills is my favorite one by then :)

[@valsonder]

oh hell yeah, this is my favourite band!!

[@morethanjustromantic]

omg you REALLY need to listen to songs from razzmatazz (their album) kiss goodnight is my absolute favorite

[@boop963]

If you wanna do a part two I would recommend: kiss goodnight (this is a song about when Dallon the vocal singer met his wife), door, razmatazz, sugar pills, die alone and from the gallows

[@alex-wu4jy]

your videos are slowly losing sanity and it's amazing please continue i love it

[@mynekoheart]

When I heard you're gonna react to IDKH from a dsmp fansong react I think I was so excited and glad didn't missed this and on my recommendation. Definitely gonna revisit IDKH (I didn't know they have lore b4 I read the comments)

[@Love.plus.1]

4:05 another one bites the dust is what you’re hearing I think

[@audbonnell8740]

fun fact i saw idkhow live and when they perform nobody likes the opening band they have the open band perform a second verse that disses them

[@Lighteyy_]

I HAVE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@RosileeJe]

This video made me realize I really need to listen to more idkhow songs. Also funny enough for me with the last song, the only concert I've ever been to was specifically FOR the opening band lol. It was 5SOS opening for One Direction back in like 2014 I think

[@HoneyAnimates]

bruh i love this band ahh If you listen to them again i suggest listening to their album called Razzmatazz specifically these songs -From the Gallows -Razzmatazz -Sugar Pills -Leave me Alone -Clusterhug -Kiss Goodnight -Need You Here :) Ty!

Great video! I really like idkhow and it’s fun seeing you react to it! If you make a part 2 I would recommend Leave Me Alone, New Invention, Sugar Pills, Lights Go Down and Razzmatazz, they’re some of my favourites and I think you’d like them :]

[@totimajinesthngz1541]

Omg yes they have some bops. They get me pumped up. Love your reaction. I would recommend checking out Nico Collins “Nothing ever changes“ is the song that got me into his music. (Prisoner, Don’t wake me up, Borderline and mean what ever catches your attention)

[@Anna-vj9ys]

i second everyone who wants razzmatazz reactions! i also think you would really like some of the brobecks songs, they were dallon's old band from before he joined panic at the disco, and their sound is so fantastic, and you can see a lot of it in current idkhow music i recommend the visitation of the ghost goodnight socialite second boys will be first choice clusterhug (they actually remade it as an idkhow song, which is awesome) boring tbh you cant go wrong with their Violent Things album ive been a fan since they had 3 songs and its great to see more people finding their music!

[@jjhutchison881]

I’ve been to a few concerts, and I’ve been lucky enough that once or twice the opening band was actually better that the band I went to see (for example SQUID was opening for a band I went to see and I was BLOWN AWAY)

[@euphoricb33]

Now you NEED! To listen to Mr. Sinister, AND the Christmas album I'm BEGGING YOU- it's SO SO GOOD

[@marveludus]

okay so its weird, but I avoided listening to "No one likes the opening band" until now, because I always love the opening band? Like after my last concert I went and talked to the opening band instead of the actual one bc I was too intimidated by them. The singer was such a nice dude, we chatted on Instagram a couple times after that.

[@YogurtNight_]

I’m so glad that they’re finally getting popular because they’re one of my favorite bands :)

The opening reminds me of the beginning of 'another one bites the dust' by queen. Maybe that's why it sounds familiar?

if you ever intend to do a part 2 here are some recs: from the gallows (one of my faves) mx sinister (one of my faves) clusterhug (one of my faves) sugar pills (one of my- ok you get it) mad iqs need you here lights go down or you can check out the brobecks which was the band prior to idkhow (tw for some songs): clusterhug (the brobecks version) goodnight sociallite visitation of the ghost small cuts if you like or or not le velo pour deux better than me
