Seriously one of the best bands out there. They sound so good live. Phoenix and Mercedes are absolutely the real deal. Extremely talented and so true to themselves and their convictions.

And damn.... that room sounds GREAT on the drums. I think the fact that they aren't using loud guitar amps in the room (direct amp simulators, if I recall, though I do see amps mic'd up), the drums sound so killer. Everything sounds killer! Rick and Neil did a fantastic mix, but you guys had great stuff to work with!

why does spotify call them a grunge duo? this is like dream pop or nu gaze. did they change their style. they popped up on my suggestions. ive loved audiotree for a long time. great bands and great interviewers.

@@miked4309 This is why I kind of stopped caring about "genre-fying" music, because in some cases, it's really subjective and in other cases, like you point out, it's totally wrong! The one sliver of a reason, though, I would say is because, and Mercedes even said this to me, they half-jokingly think of the current sound as being an inspired amalgam of the two bands that their managers (I'm actually not 100% sure what their roles really are) were in, in the 90s. One being a shoegaze/dream pop band, An April March, the other being a more alternative/grunge band, Scratching Post. That was more of a tongue-in-cheek comment, though. Check out their previous project, Courage My Love, which was also pretty great, albeit with a slightly less dark, more mainstream vibe. Honestly, they are such incredible musicians and songwriters and genuinely great people. The whole touring band is pretty awesome!

@@miked4309 If you aren't familiar with An April March, check them out. Not to be confused with just April March, who is very different, but also cool. AAM and my band were kind of like sister bands from the US and Canada and played a lot of shows together. Great 90s dreampopgaze. Ha!

@@rodgre i totally agree about genres. i really dislike them. i love Poppy and its impossible to define her. she calls her music post genre. sorry, Spotify says they are goth.. i forget where i saw grunge. although the boys will be boys sounds more like alternative rock/grunge. cool indie bands today have a bit of everything. i think all their parents have a 90s CD collection. i clicked on this video b/c the blonde looks like the member in Momma. also 2 females and sound like this. shoegaze and alt rock vibes. before the pandemic i was going to about 35 shows a year. putting on a lot of miles. i loved meeting and talking to the bands. i think the coolest experience was meeting and talking to Alicia Bognano aka Bully.

Used to listen to them all the time when they were Courage My Love, especially their earlier and heavier stuff. I may have lost interest in their music over the years, but I will always appreciate what sweethearts they've been to me the couple times I've met them at their concerts. Most especially in 2017 when we hung out for a half hour and Phoenix and I were just opening up to each other about life stuff. I just really really appreciated that time with her. So to see them still making music to this day, all independently I must add, warms my heart. So it's with all due respect I say that despite not really vibing with their new direction and new band name, they will always hold a special place in my heart and I will always be happy for them for continuing to evolve and explore their music capabilities.
