Little disappointed he didn’t play Bloody Nose for the Nosebleed Session

[@matthewrobertson8696]

Same 😭

[@tyblu7667]

truuuuu

[@kenzz223]

3 years ago and Im still here listening I miss this band so much they’re music makes me feel safe

[@alili945]

same, i wish they upload their old stuff again on streaming :(

[@izzyfloro7941]

good news...

[@netsirkj]

read their announcement today that bay faction will be dissolved til further notice and started listening again on my morning run. p bummed its over but am super grateful for the music theyre leaving behind.

[@robinsr4745]

It's quite sad. I wish it didn't have to be like this.

[@enriqueriveradeleon1450]

this post didn't age well... "super grateful for the mysic they're leaving behind" bay faction: cough cough... it would be a shame if... we... left no music behind though...

[@Deathlobster137]

Disappeared without a trace

[@EnergyFocus834]

they're (kind of) back. James has a new interview in stereogum and they rereleased their self-titled. Apparently there's a possibility of more to come too

[@netsirkj]

@@EnergyFocus834 ya i saw their reupload on yt and spotify. super stoked, thanks for coming back to my old comment ahahhaha

[@nosebleedsessions]

Hello internets. Let us know what you think of the Bay Faction vid!

[@matthewrobertson8696]

Very good! Thank you so much ❤️

[@TheZeleven]

What happened to the song "Bloody Nose" by these guys? I've been a huge fan for years but now i cant find that EP that i loved so much😞

[@daniellefrank9913]

Love this so much, always listen to it when I'm feeling down and it makes me feel better :)

[@BoydColossalVlogs97]

I literally love this band so much honestly. #BayFaction4Ever

[@quackecs]

@@TheZeleven Story was they have removed their debut album (containing Bloody Nose, Beachbook etc) from all platforms because the band has evolved and they don't want it to exist. A real shame since it's so fucking good.

[@tyblu7667]

I love how he's so self conscious that it's an 'entire' instagram audience yet I still come back to this over and over and over

[@GoOutsideKoat]

Dba James. There new band! Everyone go listen if you havnt already

[@user-em6br9un5w]

So much I love about this, the song Flordia Guilt is stuck in my head. 19 sounds amazing with that new lyric in there and the way his voice flows with everything. So glad I found these guys a while back :)

[@helmethair437]

him trying to remember how to play beach book was prolly my favorite part,,, the new songs sound absolutely amazing too. ive been anticipating florida guilt since june

[@niazxz]

i love the way he played 19 i feel like it doesn’t sound as eerie as the studio version but is still so gorgeous

[@tyblu7667]

FACTS

[@peterhart7812]

I love how when he clears his throat in nineteen it's in time with the song lmao

[@jmaniac5]

such great energy from this video gold star to whoever asked him to play beach book

[@dissipates]

i come back to this often

[@sothisishowitreallyends]

album of the year incoming. phenomenal session.

[@ChineseMustangs]

rip

[@amaranthhhhh]

still listening, almost every day. i like DBA james but bay faction was something that will never exist again.

[@keekz510]

He kinda sorta sounds like what I think king krule would sound like if he was american. King krules voice is like 2 octaves lower tho

[@andrewbathemess5800]

Please make more music. You're more more influential than you know you can be

[@christophergorrie7177]

Thank god they have come back ❤

[@maxmaree8007]

i've watched this around 30 times

[@bwillzzz8776]

his voice so consistent and smooth

[@glizdaglizda400]

I love bay fac so much, waiting for the album 💕

[@Charlieeee468]

WELCOME BACK BAY FACTION

[@allisonchainss]

he’s so fine

[@zoedebates2332]

I am obsessed. ive watched this 6 times today

[@soaoip2957]

HES SO PRETTY also wow

[@Sisthenekotruth]

I miss them

[@carnelian.]

just noticed the extra verse in “19” that’s omitted in the official release. wish it made it on the final track

[@pwupcake]

god his voice is so beautiful and haunting i miss their music

[@shrekthemovie2264]

literally gives me chills

[@blex187g]

Casting Couch!!!!

[@catteajenkies8001]

missing this sm… hoping to get a new project from him, even if it’s not bay faction.

[@ischristinaok]

he has a new project called dba james

[@LETerEATRenne]

The chorus of Florida guilt is fucking slick.

[@notactuallysean]

Disappointed he didn't play "bloody nose" lmao

[@LetItLie]

Pumped for this album

[@benzyl350]

Singer of bay faction is Idubzzz long lost brother

[@brandonsantos9851]

bro this is incredible like it makes my soul cry

[@pwupcake]

i think ive listened to this 100 times by now, his voice is so perfect. does anyone know if he still makes music?

[@2000spcgame]

great energy

[@alejandraarevalo4011]

Amazing

[@yaritzahernandezgil3174]

I can't wait to see them live in Phoenix!

[@pickinpickens2291]

Wooo!

[@andrewbathemess5800]

Soooo I heard this band ended, which is HELLA SAD!!!!! But, there is no 20. There is no song "20". And if there is, they need to release it. Please someone inform me if I don't understand. Why mention it? To make a believable excuse for accidentally saying "20"?

[@iwantacookie8772]

its a real song, it was supposed to be on florida guilt. but it got scrapped :^(

[@fanaticalbrit1685]

Whoo! Nah but what a musician this guy is, it's like a more visceral kind of Cigarettes After Sex

[@rafaelvazquez906]

This is so good dude

[@ajfancymf]

I felt this

[@rianmidili104]

Love it

[@braydenowsley121]

Why no bloody nose? It's perfect! Wtf

[@theghostofyoutube5921]

This dude looks like Idubbbz

[@matthewrobertson8696]

Him calling 19 20 made me laugh so hard!

[@obomasinladen]

pretty sure im a solid 3000 views on this bish

[@bingusfart4349]

hell FUCJINF YES

[@blakeybigd2276]

How would you describe the sounds of his guitar? I would love to get that sound

[@haychxpress]

Buttery, bright, romantic?

[@strongdadenergy7586]

Brittle and bright.

[@strongdadenergy7586]

Oh. He’s also using a hallway reverb during Florida guilt, might help recreate the sound a little better. He’s playing a fender jazz master with some single coil pickups. That’s part of what gives it such a thin, brittle sound. Makes his higher notes very chime-y as well.

[@ChineseMustangs]

james kinda looks like Ted Nivison here

[@Shinzou]

why did they break up :(

[@thebiggreg100]

Is he using a Vintera Jag? Or is it a Player series?

[@cessbird8212]

Greg M Vintage Jag

[@strongdadenergy7586]

@@cessbird8212 isn’t this a jazz master and not a Jaguar? You can see the little toggle switches above the pickups, pretty sure those are from the jazz masters?

[@iwantacookie8772]

Florida guilt doesn't really hit the same without the production.
