I feel like.. these guys should be considered one of the best.. I feel like this is some of the most beautiful music ever. Why isn't this more Mainstream

[@brianwag6567]

Mainstream music listeners could handle the awesomeness of The Dear Hunter

[@brianwag6567]

could not

[@Theogvineofthedead]

Dude The Dear Hunter has been my favorite band since 07-08 I can't remember the year I saw them in CT on Halloween. They are so beyond underrated. They literally have no bad songs. Every single song is a banger 😅❤

[@secondson312]

The Dear Hunter to me is the pinnacle of creativity in music. There is nobody else who sounds remotely like them. I love them so much

[@felipecardel]

0:43 Bring You Down 7:10 Shame 13:41 Things That Hide Away 20:11 Girl 26:18 Whisper

[@jasonkim3758]

Thanks... That dude that talks in between songs drives me nuts

[@needlesstng5190]

THANK YOU

[@kashv.k2797]

Thanks!!🤙❤

[@pumpkinheadjrb]

God, I love his voice.

[@AssBadgerDEERBO]

Nick is having such a good time on the drums, makes me smile every time it cuts to him

[@nigeldaddyo]

He gives Mick Fleetwood a good run for his money when it comes to the funny faces while playing.

[@moonboogien8908]

Casey's voice is what you hear upon your arrival into the afterlife..... Reading off all of your ms. Deeds

[@andreyofdoom]

Ms. Deeds! I see what you did there😂

[@willy_wonka5]

If he isn't there I demand a refund

[@dargis49]

Casey in a fucking genius man.

[@SuffertheFool]

One of the best songwriters of our time.

[@matthewlongtin4148]

Matt Dargis I remember when I went back to The Receiving End of Sirens only for me to think "the singer sounds an awful lot like The Dear Hunter singer." The more you know.

[@Psyc0tic]

@@matthewlongtin4148 wow holy shit

[@dirtyreggae]

Best audiotree session I've ever heard. First heard these guys from the BTBAM/the dear hunter split and these guys are something else definitely picking up every album!

[@SenseiJosh]

dirtyreggae holy shit that exist? Love both bands and never knew that was a thing

[@jaggerman22]

Exactly the same for me. Got into a lot of bands because of btbam. The Dear Hunter are on another level musically. Just sublime. Probably my two favorite bands.

[@Jasonmakesvideo]

There’s a BTBAM audio tree?!?!

[@graphictank]

Check out AT's Phox full session. They compliment each other so well. But the Color Spectrum Albums by TDH are what bands can only dream of doing, and doing well.

[@haleyanastasio5889]

I sold the drummer some gear when I worked at a guitar center in Massachusetts. Legit nicest guy. Been a fan ever since.

[@beastaish]

9 years later, and I still love listening to this. Migrant-era will always hold a special place in my heart because of where I was in my life when that album dropped. And hearing Casey's amazing vocals on this and realizing he's only gotten better since then is pretty incredible.

[@GlennKoslowskyJr_itakepictures]

Got me through some rough times as well

[@caiodias475]

same here. they helped me a lot through tough times.

[@tontocorazon]

Probably already know but Dear Hunter is going on tour for the ten year anniversary of Migrant towards the end of the year. I am extremely excited

[@beastaish]

@@tontocorazon I already have tickets for the Seattle show, but I appreciate you looking out!

[@tontocorazon]

@@beastaish hell yeah!

[@Kanchesnes]

Saw these guys live awhile back, but this audiotree session really does them justice. What appropriate arrangements and great execution.

[@jonphillips416]

The internet would be all for nothing if it wasn't for Audiotree and KEXP

[@jeffpriester2754]

And tiny desk

[@TonyDupre]

Whisper is such an amazing song

[@allangmiller]

Deserves a LOT more views. Great sound.

[@joshholton3582]

"Whisper" ... WOW. I mean, the whole thing is good.. but damn. Powerful closing to this set. Deserves more views

[@XYZ-chalky]

I've probably listened to these songs over 200 times, yet I'm only now just picking up on subtle instrumentalities. This band never fails to impress!

[@maxwell8773]

X X Y it’s very strange hearing a different mixing, the strings and drums are typically much quieter in their recorded songs

[@jacobcouchene4619]

Still one of the best produced and best performed sessions.

[@Alibi4059]

Absolutely beautiful. Been listening to them since 2012. Favorite band in the universe!!

[@DewitticusBrett]

Good lord I love The Dear Hunter. Such a unique sound

[@chronicmango]

I still just can't get over how good that snare sounds. I've seen this set like... 20 times. And I just can't figure out how they made it sound perfect.

[@JonKovach]

Good drummer thats how.

[@realbento]

also the snare is loud as hell.. they could turn down a little bit so the vocals and the high note instruments as a hole could be more pronounced

[@chronicmango]

@@realbento Nah it's perfect

[@SparJar]

@@realbento lol

[@hectorvazquez1027]

@@realbento I guess its the Overheads, they're too high and not very well cleaned but, it gives that effect of "live sesh" and imo i kinda dig it

[@alanpedrueza6467]

Love the strings and the snaredrum sound . This is awesome

[@wereoursouls3472]

This is why I click on random music videos. To find gems like this.

[@FroFTW85]

Its crazy that Casey wrote and produced evry part of all tjese songs.

[@ValiantKnight7983]

The drummer has some serious groove going on. Kinda sounds like Josh Eppard.

[@brennand933]

J.McCarthy or thomas haake too

[@dylanmoeller7741]

He even keeps his mouth open like Josh

[@DizzyCGA]

Love seein' coheed chat in the wild

[@maxgutierrez9679]

That's why they've toured together so much! They're really good friends and seeing them together is one of the best concert experiences I've ever witnessed!

[@vintageludwig]

Talent runs rampant in this family.

[@TheDBrigner]

"Shame" belongs on a James Bond Soundtrack, that song is straight up sex.

[@DomSchu]

This band has always been great live. I saw them open for a Coheed and Cambria show back in 2017 and it was awesome. Was glad I got there early enough.

[@theshamanatrixcorner3962]

Aww I got there late and missed the whole set except for the last song. I was utterly devastated!!!

[@skaisnotdead]

I've listened to this so many times and I'm still blown away

[@tristans.8282]

I needed this today. Love these guys so much.

[@TheLEGOCantina]

this makes me so happy, thank you

[@phillipsaporta6729]

This band is seriously amazing! I need more!

[@deuliciousmafuka3604]

this is brilliant! i am mesmerized by how good this band is i just seen a random rig rundown of theres and have been hooked ever sence.

[@christopherkinnaird2881]

You're all the greatest! Thank you so much for sharing your music with the world.

[@grandpow]

yes yes yesssss. so damn good

[@hicharby]

Casey's timbre reminds me of Claudio from Coheed; this band is great, thanks for the upload

[@Busch733]

Did you see that they are touring together?!

[@hicharby]

Nice! thanks for the heads up

[@kelbygassett1389]

Caught their show in Houston, it was amazing. hope you guys got to enjoy it too lol. Two favorite bands on one stage, yeah buddy!

[@johngregg6820]

Was also at the Houston show. I was so excited to see that many people packed in for a couple prog bands. Such a great show.

[@Jasonmakesvideo]

I always seem to find yet another hidden gem i didn’t know existed! You’re library is immaculate. What u do is unique and raw as hell . Keep it up

[@drumkepka]

one of the most expressive bands. much love!

[@annakobuk3618]

Beautiful live versions.

[@Juaned.Sanchez]

Love these guys..

[@BerndSteudel]

Wonderful Songs! Great Musicians! Thank You!

[@BustyCakes]

I love how happy Nick looks during Whisper.

[@jbasti227]

Now I'm even more excited to see them play w/ BTBAM

[@kayal5905]

Joseph Bastidas that shit was sick af

[@Finngrinder]

How fitting I heard of these first in a talk that also included Dredg and Aereogramme

[@bigpoppasmurf]

IF WHISPER DOESNT GET YOUR SOUL MOVING, YOURE PROBABLY DEAD. cap locks. my bad

[@peytontetrick1214]

found these guys listening to Thank You Scientist radio on spotify, wish I found them sooner!

[@jnoert]

This is so good.

[@agustinbc7875]

Great performance. Beautiful songs. Hope to see in Barcelona ...

[@selfishgills8193]

Great sound!!!

[@MichaelBogomolny]

amazing sound!

[@DavidAxelrodP]

This is amazing

[@danielbuhr4260]

This was so good holy shit

[@pipezcado]

Shout out to Chris Baum (1:04) from Bent Knee.

[@RedBeardedMarketing]

hahaa I brought up brother dynamics once while back stage with them. Their banter had me rolling so bad. I love these dudes.

[@sicboi80]

Seeing these guys open for Between the Buried and Me in Philly for their Automata tour. Wanted to check out some of their music before I saw them live. Completely different contrast to BTBAM, but damn the song @ 13:41 is beautiful. I dig it.

[@kayal5905]

I had seen tdh before, although I am a new fan, but (had) listened to btbam a lot, a long time ago. it was my first time seeing btbam live. this show ( saw them in Chicago) was mind blowing. hope you enjoyed tdh as well!!

[@timvandervalk3241]

I lived in Providence, RI for 4 years. Why the fuck did I never see these guys live?!

[@dansysoman3391]

Absolute genius.

[@jackdangerousiy2088]

Well that was dope.

[@agateomania712]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH- thank god this exists- I just rlly need the orchestra sheet music for the background And them joking and talking is literally me it’s so funny to me

[@agateomania712]

But also I thank this vid so much because the violin part I’m trying to figure out is so clear and I was actually right with the bowings and I’m proud Oof sorry, violinist ova here

[@Mslaureno]

This is love 💕

[@Superdudeawesome135]

Does anyone know if that's Chris Baum from Bent Knee playing the violin?

[@jasoncohendrums]

yes it is

[@allangmiller]

Brilliant. I prefer this version of Things That Hide Away to the Spectrum version - strings and subtle percussion round it out nicely.

[@sammacdonald6382]

Nick is such a freaking good drummer.

[@Shadough]

for some reason, Whisper gets me so pumped haha. And I'm in a post hardcore band

[@spencerj]

SimpleJustin what's the name of your band?

[@Shadough]

Allies Always Lie. Look up: Allies Always Lie - Dr. Awkward. It's the party music video haha. And the rest of our stuff is on our youtube as well.

[@spencerj]

SimpleJustin really cool instrumentals! Tbh I wish the lyrics told a more compelling and original story. It certainly doesn't have to be a concept, but I feel like heartbreak is pretty cliche

[@Shadough]

Thank you! :) It's actually not about a heartbreak hahaha. It's about your ego trying to take over you. But I really appreciate the feedback :)

[@marco9antonio9]

greath!

[@lorenneufeld4306]

Very reminiscent of the band, The Reign of Kindo or just Kindo these days. TDH are alright.

[@vocalimpactplays217]

There are definitely similarities! TDH actually predates Kindo (and I love them, though TDH has been my favorite group for probably 12 years at this point) by just a little bit, Crescenzo started it up as a side project when he was in TREOS, and their "Act I" concept came out about a year before "The Reign of Kindo EP". If you haven't at this point (8 months later), I'd recommend checking out all of the Acts (I-V), particularly III and IV. They have the same feel that Kindo does, but they go so much farther with thematic development and just keep building on their past work. Act III is fantastic, but the progression of their sound from Acts III to IV showed just how beneficial their work on The Color Spectrum was (30+ tracks split into chunks that each had unique styles, from NIN style influences to country slide guitar).

[@xXshadow187Xx]

He killed shame

[@Farout421]

These guys need to return to Audiotree...

[@brandondiggins7090]

Always loved the receiving end of sirens.... Glad casey is doing his own shit.

[@Tenchio]

VIOLIN GUY FROM BENT KNEE

[@karsaorlong5091]

Tenchio because of you I checked out bent knee. I need to thank you. Best decision I ever made.

[@hectorvazquez1027]

Chris Baum i guess, i been watching alot of music videos with him involved, like the Rock-Orchestra with Videogame music

[@TheSkylineAwaits]

@@karsaorlong5091 now I have to check out Bent Knee.

[@buzztrucker]

Damn.

[@matthewbeckwith663]

THAT PBASS TONE 🥰

[@RPMguitar92]

This 100% sounds like Coheed & Cambria, Three, and Manchester Orchestra had a baby.

[@Ldfarquar]

damn. this guy is really good. sad i hadn't heard of him sooner. bits and pieces remind me a little of Coheed & Cambria and older Jimmy Eat World. (sorry. i know comparisons can trigger some people).

[@TakeFlightRaven]

Hi, apologies, I am not a native English speaker. What is meant by 'trigger' ?

[@Baarbait]

"Trigger" is commonly used as an informal verb to reference getting angered or annoyed at something someone says.

[@TakeFlightRaven]

I see. I did find "A trigger is something that sets off a flashback, transporting the person back to the traumatic event." on Google, and so I was confused. "Colloquialisms" are strange. It seems as if twisting the word.

[@brandondiggins7090]

Check out the receiving end of sirens . his first band

[@adamkoyn792]

I can definitely hear the similarities to Coheed in particular, but really only in certain variations of, maybe, a dozen or so songs. TDH, and Casey Crescenzo, are purely original.

[@bwanitobwanito2722]

if you like TDH strings-rock mixing style, have a look to LAZULI - Festin ultime - strings version

[@nightmaresleuth237]

come to canada

[@troyklassen689]

Holy fucking shit this guy can sing.

[@theosuguitan4511]

Oh my god whisper sounded just like the fuckin' studio version it's so good

[@peanutbutler80]

The host was totally awkward, it was weird for me. But the music, sheesus! Love these guys!

[@bryantmcnamara2770]

That's the violinist from Bent Knee!

[@LaniakeaLeathercrafts]

WAIT A MINUTE. Is that violinist on the right the same guy from the band Bent Knee??

[@DexterGrohl]

Noah McCoy man a bent knee dear hunter Colab would be amazing.

[@BlackLabel2021]

18:00 I so wish Casey had said, "yeah, this interview."

[@geovannialvarezhernandez8025]

Hey, can you put this on spotify?

[@alecdube7712]

Bo Burnham on Violin II!

the talco hunter

[@bubbleseroticaband8807]

the guitarist with the dark blonde hair is no longer in the band correct? i didn't see him at their past show in Chicago and he doesn't seem to be in their newer band photos.

[@BlueBirdRPG]

Give it up for Bo Burnam on Violin!

[@trajhver3]

It’s good but I can’t hear the bass at all; is it plugged in?

[@todd9142]

I would love to know the name of the songs

[@oitavss]

2013 was rad.

[@crumbledtower]

there I go crying again

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

First I heard them, I thought "sounds like BTBAM without scream vocals", and then it's so happened that they recorded a split /o_0\

[@lacroisadedesdieux9115]

Da voice of John Legend

[@zmznzbzvzmznzb]

My son and I and his friends saw you in Grand Rapids years ago. The same night Taylor who? Was playing. Hot as Hell it was. We saw you outside and my son said go say hello to you. Just couldn't. Because it was going to be a long night for you.

[@TheArtSmith23]

Love the Dear Hunter but Girl sounds so underwhelming without the female backup vocals

[@needlesstng5190]

Whisper sounds so weird on the key they played it on

[@suspendedanimation2269]

I'm also sad that strings are always in the peanut gallery

[@cammy649]

Wait a band of 4 friends. Is the bassist not a friend or something??

[@sirshmango]

I think he was referring to the string quartet.

[@grimtuesday1939]

that or like nick (drummer) and casey are brothers... so like 4 friends and a brother? idk...

[@deuliciousmafuka3604]

oh man people talking about the string section!

[@kajerickson200]

performance was impeccable. that host was cringe as hell though.
