This is what happens when actual people with talent make music. Thank you!

I totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah forreal!!

[@chelseastone8410]

TOTALLY AGREE !!! I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT \!

WHAT YOU WROTE SHOULD BE FRAMED !

That Guitar Tone is Insane.

Damn, it even beats the recorded version, and that's saying alot. Must see them live.

One of the best new bands of this decade. Can't get enough.

Austin Dean for sure

..of the Century, you minimalist

[@nathanisaksson]

Best new band of the '80s.

@@nathanisaksson drab majesty started 2004

[@nathanisaksson]

@@MEqwed I know. I was joking that they're a new band of the '80s, defying temporal logic. I know they are not actually from the '80s.

I vote !!!

[@jackgoff2072]

So many influences, A Flock of Seagulls, The Cure.Psychedelic Furs.This is the best band of the decade. Genius music. I hope they make it big.

[@josediaz9003]

DarkWave

[@J.X.Sanchez777]

Forget making it "BIG" Mainstream oulets are not ready for this, especially, in times like now where mainstream (like K-ROQ) wouldn't appreciate this sort of talent

[@lesleythompson6801]

@AC Serrano -I've thought of probably 20 influences. And yet they're something else entirely.

[@lesleythompson6801]

@@J.X.Sanchez777 I haven't listened to KROQ in 30 years--I can't imagine what they play nowadays.

Best song ive ever heard in my life

[@awolsurf-TC]

So good

[@davidannett3322]

Drab Majesty for president 2024!!!!!

[@vrakula]

This song has Clan of Xymox written all over it. This band is like a perfect mix of early The Cure, The Chameleons, Sisters of Mercy and Xymox.

[@kingcobrajfsofficial]

I can hear Clan of Xymox in a lot of their material, honestly. Just when you think they're going full dark they throw a curve ball with some The Cure/Psychedelic Furs nuance.

[@CropsyisBurning]

Sad lovers and giants

[@chelseastone8410]

GORGEOUS !

[@ANGELSVEN]

Yes, but even better.

[@juanpabloarena2724]

Gary Numan stuff present too.

That guitar tone is everything 🙌🙌🙌

[@JJMedusa]

I was at this show. It also happened to be the same day as my birthday. To say that it was special is the understatement of the year.

what a treat this must have been for you!!!!

[@VaporMemory]

Truly badass

[@xisotopex]

f@cking badass

[@4Azr]

You cant deny those 2 guys make huge impression on scene, their image and style is very well designed. Music makes nostalgia a like a water that washes your face, its amazing and a real deal for any type of stoners because its the pure form of Neo-Psychedelic wave of rock music.

[@juanpabloarena2724]

✨✨ To decorate every show it would be great to see them arrive in a Volvo Tundra-style concept car.

[@eric1012wi]

Has an old Trisomie 21, Clan Of Xymox, Modern English feel to it. Which is fucking awesome! Brilliant!

[@chelseastone8410]

totally awesome and i totally agree !

[@davidannett3322]

Xymox is LEGIT good goth music

[@Jbailey2112]

Seen them open for the Smashing Pumpkins. This is the reason I don't miss opening bands, instantly became a fan that night of Drab Majesty!!

[@immermitderruhe]

This is epic!! We need a professionally directed Drab Majesty live concert movie! I imagine something like the "Rammstein: Paris" live show but in a darkwave style with an epic orchestrated light show and several cameras filming from every angle, a unique stage setup and of course a big venue because you cant do it in small clubs but also not in open air stadiums as the sound in stadiums is not that great. More something like Madison Square Garden etc.. I would pay 10000 to see something like this. Drab Majesty would be a perfect band for this kind of elaborately staged shows. But unfortunately the bands audience is yet too small. Not many bands on this planet have the opportunity to do this.

[@mariolooney70]

Imagine commercial chart music was our only music selection..I’d kill my self 😂😂

[@lukaszgrajny]

Great song! Greetings from Black Metal fan.

[@DJHuk]

Brings back the good old days of the Jesus and Mary Chain .... back when we had songs and they were psychedelic as all hell.

[@talkingmudcrab718]

I'm pretty sure I listened to this song while playing Excitebike on the NES back in '89.

[@roseanni693]

Amazing live version, so gothic!!

[@deustaitan]

This is electronic music done right

[@marcelopepinho]

Real electronic

[@HearturMind]

I like their commitment to a sound and doing it WELL. Somehow even the synth drums work for me and they did NOT in the 80s. Love these guys.

[@АлексейБоярский-ж4ю]

Замечательно....... Мне 53года...... Послушав , просто помолодел от этих звуков........... В лучших традициях этого жанра......... Порекомендую своему сыну....... Думаю заценить, что батя слушает...... Всегда слушал, не то, что слушает масса........

[@ВалерийКузнецов-л2ч]

Мне 45. Я Cure перестал слушать после Wild Mood Swings и DM после Exciter. Т.к. они стали писать абы что. И по большому счету ничего из 00-х и 10-х не вошло в мою фонотеку. Т.к. все какое-то непонятно что... Попросту - шлак. Ну там кое какие проблески конечно есть . Но это именно проблески. Отдельные треки . Ну туда сюда еще Retro Wave ( SynthWave). А тут у парней как бы концепт. Cure как -то быстро соскочили с этого саунда... Ушли в какую-то аморфную... полуакустку... Скучно и вяло. А тут у парней и энергетика...Хорошая группа. И не надо ее в массы. Массы пусть слушают ... Imagine Dragons ( и пр.шнягу )))

[@juanpabloarena2724]

Хорошо сказано 👍🇦🇷

[Verse 1] I’ll burn my name in your eyes And I’ll learn to play with your fire Rather just be told I’m a liar [Verse 2] You told me that I need to atone Coming from a broken home You say I need to leave my love alone [Chorus] You make sure I’m missing the point Now i'll just be kissing the ground I’d rather just be kissing my life away [Verse 3] Your dad would say I’m wrong I'm glad to have disagreed Do you really want to be under my antenna Over the amphetamines [Verse 4] You say you’re gonna let me watch You say you’re gonna disappear It really doesn’t feel like trying 'Til I walk a mile and you’re near [Verse 5] You listed all the games I’ve played You tried to take the things we've made And I’d rather just be dead on arrival Hide this cross, a lover lost [Chorus] You make sure I’m missing the point Now i'll just be kissing the ground I’d rather just be kissing my life away You make sure I’m missing the point Now i'll just be kissing the ground I’d rather just be kissing our lives away You make sure I’m missing the point Now i'll just be kissing the ground I’d rather just be dead on arrival [Outro] I’d rather just be dead on arrival (x8)
