[@drewcroft]

That intro didn’t age well lmaaaao

[@letterzx]

bruhhhhh

[@XxXAmkataRXxX]

what happened

[@decoytofu]

@@XxXAmkataRXxX Turns out R. Kelly is a terrible person, so he's cancelled.

[@sheldonbenton5278]

neither will you

[@no1u521]

I think its already known at that time lol

[@djuforeo]

Fineshrine gave me goosebumps

[@majorphoto]

djuforeo I've heard the song at least 20 times, chills everytime

[@tiernanmcclanahan7807]

These videos don't do their live performance any justice whatsoever. They have one of the strongest live electronic performances I've ever seen. And I'm constantly surprised by great producers with lacking live sets i.e. Lapalux at Moogfest this year. Boy was on the STRUGGLE bus lol

[@coolwalski]

This looks so fucking rad, I don't know why anyone is thinkin that it's lame lol

[@PassionRapper]

Hey it's Maycie! :) I love that I see ur comment on this hehehehehe

[@briand3200]

Beautiful music - always makes me think of the beloved pet we lost to cancer. Dunno why. Cry every time I hear Fineshrine.

[@mickeyjameson5017]

i love purity ring every live music i've ever heard sounds better recorded , so what

[@agreen182]

You should listen to better bands, then. Most bands I like are at least equal live, most times better.

[@devourerofbabies]

Very, very few vocalists are perfect live. Building consistency is a function of performing many many shows. She's still very young and Purity Ring is still a very new band. She's actually a very talented singer.

[@atomdecay]

By the halfway point she seemed to realize she was a bit sharp & fixed it.

[@bruceaisher]

This is bullshit. Most comments on here mention that live they are worse. Glitch is definitely part of their sound and one of the main reasons I fell in love with them, but on the record it's synced and pitched and it sounds fucking great. Here is he is just putting a snippet of voice through beat repeat and it sounds shit - it doesn't fit with the performance.

[@lauratoland4482]

You guys have no idea how hard it is to perfect your voice live espeically in this electronic style, listen to lots of other artists live, peoples voices are fine tuned and perfected on the record. Plus fuck you if you are commenting on how she looks. Music is music. If people choose music on looks no wonder why so much music is shit house.

[@possumawesome1]

theyre so fucking hot ugh i love them xxxxxxxxxx

[@leannarichards4360]

They are so amazing... Amazing artists and people.

[@Souperfro]

I'm sure Purity Ring is used to it by now, but it makes cringe hard every time I see them live and people cheer during the second break in Fineshrine.

[@MJ-vd8bj]

lmao ikr? everyone think it's the end of the song :D

[@MD-xi5vd]

anybody still cry to this song?

[@nineteendesu]

fuck i need to see them live before i die

[@buchstabenwein]

I saw them live on the 4th November. Couldnt agree more on the statement :D

[@nineteendesu]

Andi Baumgarten luckkkky

[@fwir711u2]

They canceled a show on me......

[@kmald1009]

3:43 - 4:04 sounds so sick

[@Rezhartified]

It's actually a part of a song of there's name "Grandloves"

[@kmald1009]

sounds sick

[@philipedesouzasantos1201]

6:51 shut up i not ended yet lol

[@Thyagohills]

Not a concert, it's an art performance.

[@eradawnz]

She has a beautiful voice.

[@drinkmoreagua8984]

Wait, Purity Ring has ties to Halifax 😳

[@chibisier2258]

Megan is so beautiful and sweet!!!

[@babaganoujband]

THAT GUY IS PLAYING LAMPS.

[@squall6789]

"And anyways, people who complain about fads are always much more unbearable than the fads themselves." That is so extremely untrue. You yourself complained about metalheeds and rockers. Plus who didn't hate emo's? C'mon...

[@guerillaguerilla]

why just stand there. go ham. this song is so goooood

[@akkeso]

Maybe people come to listen to the music instead of dancing. I know I do, and I don't want to be in a moshpit when i'm trying to listen to the music.

[@Dgusting]

She reminds me of Mary Louise Parker in Weeds specifically I love it!💙

[@atomdecay]

I still cant listen to this entire song without totally crumbling to pieces at "youd make a fine shrine out of me". I miss her so much.

[@flederboy]

Am I the only one who thinks the stage design is very well done and fits the music perfectly?

[@MarkForscher]

I was there. People in the back were definitely going nuts.

[@Goldenlightify]

Lovvvvvve!!! These 2 are such magical and talented people...

[@n.e.srecords2966]

She looks like Janis chaplain by the hair do but she is the truth.

[@jacobniehaus]

Hrmm. I actually dig the live show they got goin on.

[@Goldenlightify]

The Vogue theater show last month blew everyone away.. They're live performance is just getting better and better.

[@alisterfolson]

The Future; July 2022: their performance in Phoenix AZ was amazing too

[@Digiphex]

The guy in Purity Ring is just like Ernie in My Three Sons. I bet he was beat up a lot as a child. He withdrew to his computer. And makes some very good music!

[@nickrodriguez4436]

do you think they have a particular life style. such as the feeling you get from their music and acctually live it. just such sweet people. so much peace

[@allulewislove]

Well they do change her voice constantly through out the performance. Talented, but its got to be tough to sing through all of that. I'll just take it for what it is. A great sound.

[@manuelbranco173]

god do I love this these two - it's more like pure genius

[@Olhado256]

I love her singing on the album. Live, not so much, but she'll probably get better with practice. The stuff they're doing with the lights looks really neat though. I'd love to witness that in person.

[@johnnycochicken]

she did get better!

[@Luis-ov8eq]

Do they randomly take turns wearing glassses? lol

[@railpressureflip]

Ramona Flowers

[@ArtyMcFly]

I was at their last show in Vancouver and the vocals didn't sound like this. It's still an amazing show.

[@miique]

I didn't mean it in a perjorative sense, for the last few years there's been a revival of the 80s sound and aesthetic in indie music (which is now extending to mainstream music, too). You know, that synthpop sound, and those squealy vocals (also lots of bands are releasing their albums on cassette tape format these days). But it's not just imitation, it's more of a renewal of that style.

[@Chromeplatedheart]

he just says like a lot cause he's nervous.

[@mentonerodominicano]

Gorgeous.

[@missmanrique398]

I'm so in love

[@Mariooo57]

i love how the singer somewhat looks and sounds like a cute child, it goes well with the music

[@accs2492]

Interesting to hear a more raw version of the song. It still bangs.

[@bruceaisher]

I agree with you Timo. I really wanted to see this band live, but every concert footage I have seen she is always out of tune and out of time and he uses that really annoying stutter effect (not the great pitched one on the track, it's on top of it and doesn't fit at all) on her voice - which probably doesn't help her. I feel like they need to work on their live show a lot more.

[@DWKingIV]

This band effing rocks, love it. Love the ambient feel.

[@MsCheyenneStarz]

I love her hair so much.

[@n0ns3nse1]

God. I really wish I had seen them when they came through Atlanta.

[@ColinBeirne]

This was a fun show, wish it was longer!

[@iLLeTLuz]

why did 80's metal bands have long hair? Why did some great musicians have the hippie vibe in the 70's? Just enjoy it before it is gone.

[@juanbjork]

i do love the lp, same sound thru out, i cant understand shit she is saying but i like that, for example grimes, i guess they went to the tori amos school of singing, which i love,

[@skatewhyoming]

fucking best

[@Modelcit]

looks like they do an awesome live show. i love the lighting integrating with the music. amazing.

[@Landberggggg]

She's so cute fuck

[@nurinw]

megan is cute

[@3mm3t]

bout to get the album..been randomly listening to them here nd there...nd i remember hearing fineshrine during soundcheck at a show nd i didnt know which song it was...sick tho..im liking them alot

[@malcolmbenjamin28]

They dope AF

[@juanbjork]

i guess its always like that in nyc, when i went to the bjork concert biophilia, people were just in a trance.

[@TaanielMalleus]

this gives me massive chills, I want to see them now

[@johnnycochicken]

did you?

[@mhtate]

is it just me, or does she have some issues with pitch? the music is cool and the visuals are great, but she sounds just enough off pitch to make it hard to listen to...kinda' like Taylor Swift live.

[@matthewavitua4604]

theres a rapper who does a remix of fineshrine! its a must see!!!!! he needs to go live with her! message me for the video!!! please! ASAP if you want to know! :D

[@MsEnigmabk]

I'm sorry but no i would not want to see them live if that is how he would mess with her voice on stage. Sounds horrible and messes up the flow of the beat too much.

[@rjlovesbeauty]

I love them so much

[@benhanson3339]

Another love the band's first album. See Turn on the Bright Lights.

[@thelatestttplague]

Why do you have to be judgmental of what someone looks like instead of accepting people and taking them for who they are? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@hocoking123]

I bump the FUCK out of fineshrine all the time, that song is beautiful

[@snugglebear97653]

holy shit she looks like shes straight from the 80s haha. awesome.

[@justin20877]

She looks like she needs a shower. Still a cutie though.

[@GregPoblete]

That moment you think the songs over.

[@kerrybtone]

This was a good video...I have respect that they can pull off a creative concert with so little.

[@rudebwoy012]

The producent is fucking up the whole show live. Good ideas, badly done

[@geronimopacis]

SO UNDERRATED AND SO GOOD I AM SO MAD

[@MrJochiro]

Just saw them last night, it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. All live. Absolutely incredible.

[@juanbjork]

I got the lp at other music on green vinyl. I wish their fans looked less dirty

[@iDurple]

this was awesome at Pitchfork Music Festival; and they performed at night

[@SmearedBlackInk2003]

Fucking awesome, they look like the put on a great live show! :)

[@squall6789]

Sunglasses at least serve a purpose. It looks like that dude's wearing "prescription" glasses with no lenses. Like, I love a shitload of music that a lot of people consider hipster, but that doesn't mean I have to change the way I dress and don my own pair of fake glasses and a little tie. There's just something about the hipster look that seems very forced and very fake. There's a difference between people who are genuinely quirky and this new wave of people trying to imitate that look.

[@devourerofbabies]

I didn't think you meant it in a perjorative sense, I just don't see much 80s there. The first time electronic music gained popularity was in the 80s, so I guess that's why the comparison gets made, but other than the basic fact that synthesizers are being used, I don't see it. Who in the 80s do you think they sound like?

[@joed8612]

Did you guys tape the whole show or just this song??

[@mj521]

2:55 i'm dying here 1000 deaths.

[@CasnioMiCasio]

girl 0:35 doing that with her shoulder I felt in love with her

[@chrisg4253]

Somebody wants to get pissed on...

[@johnnycochicken]

LMAO

[@rafaelaferreiralopes]

The live version sounds even better than the studio one, love them

[@silentleges7988]

The molly must be really good in Canada HAHAHA

[@Aaron_Lasher]

I LOVE PURITY RING AND ARE USING THEM IN MY MTB EDITS

[@melissavincent8764]

Saw them 2 nights ago, fucking incredible show.

[@EeddiieeMan]

Less dirty? It cost a lot of money too look that cheap. Ha.

[@mckenziebaldock]

This is so awesome. I need to see purity ring now haha

[@optimumbulldog]

beautiful

[@SamSmythe]

People are just standing there, go nuts you prunes.

[@juanbjork]

Like like like like like like like like like. Stop!

[@narudh]

lofticries = fucking awesome song ...

[@Kleasone]

they're not able to play and sing in live, such a true 2010' band.

[@ufofanclub]

wow. really cool, creative live show.

[@brndn_music]

What happened to music with a capital M?

[@squall6789]

Well... I guess it's alright... As long as they're prescription glasses he's wearing.

[@Front24237]

She looks insane! Hot... but insane.

[@Olhado256]

It's the exact opposite of Grizzly Bear at Colbchella - GB are incredible live because they are able to flawlessly play stuff that sounds like it took 20 takes in the studio to get right, but the visual aspect is really lacking. PR are a bit clumsy live but they're actually trying to give us something to look at, which is admirable.
