Love these guys I’m 52 just happened to stumble upon them and the songs they played I have played in my mind in my youth. Peace dudes and dudettes.

[@annhurther]

I've had the opportunity to see them twice in México, and their music is really good. I can feel their feeling with the lyrics, the rythm, really awesome. Even i met them and they are the best and nicest persons i've ever met ♥

More heavy bands and more darkwave/ post-punk bands please! Your sound guys always knock it right out.

[@dave-yp7tw]

Hell yeah. I agree!

[@grungedimi]

Whispering Sons would be nice in this genre. :)

[@pennyroyal6288]

YEs!!! Love Soft kill. Love that they also have a live drummer. Many darkwave bands neglect this.

[@dennismeester8452]

Home alone,dark outside,winter is coming,having a beer,listning to soft kill,not depressed,just great music,love it this time of year ,cheers.....

[@dl8694]

Add a cigar with that beer and I’m literally right there sitting with you enjoying the weather and the music…. Maybe a firepit or a tall fire in the bbq pit!

[@dennismeester8452]

hehehe, nice, i"ll bring a dutch cigar...

[@417altavista]

Where has this band been all my life? They are everything I have craved.

[@Prosch23]

they are my new favorite band...the singer reminds me of The Cure and the band has like this Echo and the Bunnymen/Bauhaus feel with a pinch of Man or Astroman and Afghan Whigs

[@billyshakespeare488]

I remember when Toby started this band after blessure grave broke up. Saw soft kill in a warehouse in phoenix around 2012 after a 400 blows show. I remember the singer of Antioch arrows new band was playing that night as well, but I cant remember their name. Good on ya toby, it looks like you finally hit it big.

[@KhryztyamCR]

They're gonna play in Costa Rica next June 22nd and I can't be more excited!

[@richeeskullz]

The rad people at Audiotreelive that rock the cameras have skills. Awesome shots!

[@youthgonewild]

Audiotree Live has become the Peel Sessions of my old age.

[@e.b.2592]

I have to back that up and say, I've been listening to these guys for the last six months since I found them (thanks Apple Music) every day straight. Listening to it all, they keep getting better and better with each release --- I CANNOT WAIT for the pandemic to lift so these guys go touring and they can come to Chicago, PLEASE COME TO CHICAGO, ya'll can stay at my house, I'll cook breakfast, I make the best french toast!

[@okipwn]

Flying back to the golden age of 80s...this band is so good 🥰

[@koreypaul6698]

"Hit the Floor" has a similar feel as another song/band I love - "Reflection of the Television" by The Twilight Sad 👌🏾

[@arman_bgr]

Thanks so much!

[@Nephi895]

Reminds me of The Sound.

[@ZetaReticuli_]

I lie how these guys have a sound like The Chameleons, and Joy Division, and how they also incorporate some reverb in to their guitars. Very cool sound.

Where is the comment with the song list? :)

[@sebastiensanchezrodriguez8864]

Awesome set with a good quality sound, i think that the next new full lenght will be amazing, much 80's influences for a very excelllent modern revival dark pop new wave band. One of best amazing drummer actually in this music style.

[@samueljohnson6275]

looking back you couldn’t be more right about the full length

[@exuberantraptor7422]

I discovered them when I saw them with Skeletonwitch in Denver. Didn't know much about them then but they blew me away. Got a fistbump with the singer at the end. He spat what looked like blood on the floor, hope it was nothing serious.

[@loristrode9556]

One thing that annoys me about bands is how they think being apart of a genre is annoying as if there set apart from the genre there in. I get it these guys don't wanna be in a box but they are def in a box😂. dont be upset at fans if they think you sound like another band because you do. You know. who you where influenced by stop acting like you weren't.
