Can you imagine how hard is to sing and playing drums at the same time? That guy is awesome

[@peluchingamarra3127]

Take a look at the drummer of The Warning

[@71hammyman]

Pretty sure that's why his voice is so unique, sounds like he's singing in a way that helps him keep time

[@mookyzook]

A little comment here, check out Karren Carpenter. Amazing singer, amazing drummer....

Ask Brann Dailor of Mastodon.

I’m not sure you can call this singing.

The bongos are such a great touch to this song, holy cow

One thing I really enjoy about seeing clips of these guys is they look like they’re having a blast playing.

I saw these guys in Philly the other week. And the whole downstairs venue was moshing to this song and others. But this one especially it was awesome

[@Johnnywhamo]

I'm 58...seeing/hearing this for the first time and I just had to say it's a sheer pleasure to watch a young band like this creating their OWN sound. I'm definitely going to sit down and give these guys a good listen.

This really is a gem of a performance. Incredible dynamics and wonderful use of tempo. High quality audio and camerawork. Next time we send a capsule to the outer reaches of space, include this.

Friday Night Coffee House Band, Had/Has the Best Drummer Singer I’d ever Seen!

[@timb350]

Just look around when there are crowd shots. When I first saw this I thought..."do they confiscate phones at the entrance???" Nope. Folks in England seem to just want to watch the show through their eyes...NOT their phones. Contrast that with just about any shot of a Coachella gig. Nothing but a sea of phone screens. What's up with that I wonder????

[@smithles554433]

It's not to do with what countries people are from, its a generational thing. Plus the type of people that go to Coachella are very different to Glastonbury. I've been to wireless festival in London a few times and it's a sea of phones there.

[@TheUnknownBass]

It's more to do with the type of music and the crowd that it attracts, than the country in my opinion. Phones are always visible during big pop acts in England for example.

[@kayosensei]

Hipsters like music like these. And hipsters have sort of an anti-phone thing and preach about "live in the moment" type of stuff

can not think a single heads song that sounds like 2:40 . also can't think of any era of the band that would be a comparable live act to squid (not in terms of quality but in terms of energy) edit- if squid repeats anything from the 70s it's devo. which i think is a great thing
