For a second I thought this video was from 40 years ago

[@billypilgrim1]

I'm convinced this guys are doing a Wes Anderson Meta film

[@LeslieBissell]

BillyPilgrim came here to say this 😂

[@johnnydtractive]

holy crap, i just made a wes anderson comment on their video. his paws are all over this, lol

[@haileybad]

Why are they sooo stinking adorable?!

[@ertiebassy3612]

haileybad despite the noses?? they're cute!

[@divine6867]

ertie bassy their noses are super cute wdym?

[@duckbrew]

Holy shit. I'm 51 and I have a favorite new band . Fuk yeah!

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Exactly how I feel about music influences, glad people are really starting to make things based off of older styles of music

[@colinschabel]

when i give people a spaced out look, people say i am weird. these dudes do it and its art

[@TVC15ohoh]

We may be looking at the very beginning of a seriously successful band. I Wanna Prove to You shows incredible talent and creativity. One thing Brian said, "We want to write melodies we haven't heard before" gives me a lot of confidence in their future. It tells me they're going to better assimulate their influences and "find their own voice" as they discussed in the interview. Saw them on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and was just plain knocked out. Best new band out there right now.

[@kellydawson2988]

Love the neck crack at 8:09

[@corpsebrideemilie69]

Kelly Dawson I didn't even know he did that

[@corpsebrideemilie69]

Kelly Dawson Haaaaaaaa

[@GillianDeVaal]

they're obviously bored to death but in such a cool way😂

[@mamaott]

Nice interview. I just found these guys randomly on iTunes, and was blown away! I knew there were Beatle influences going on because these guys use fantastic chordage (sp?) watching you guys get big is extremely exciting!

[@FaceCulture]

Hi Angela, do you like the new Lemon Twigs album?

[@kerstinzornig4852]

Yes I noticed that too…and that was all that i needed !!!! and I agree, exciting how long it will take till they get big!

[@mamaott]

FaceCulture I am loving the new album. I am replaying it. Do Hollywood- yes!

[@THEODSTKING117]

jesus christ i can’t find one video of these dudes without some fool saying something about wes anderson

[@Pthunderful]

Other than Bryan’s clothing there’s really nothing Wes Anderson about them in terms of their attitude or style..wes Anderson music is more Van and Paul Simon, Kinks

[@x0phile]

great interview, I love these guys, that new album is just awesome.

[@IamChikoo]

What Wes Anderson film did these guys come out of? Srsly but they are cute and talented

[@marcosantoniobraga]

These guys seem to have come out of a teen movie 1985

[@seurynck]

Marco Antonio Braga *1972

[@Pastfacemusic]

best new band out now. they cleverly and masterfully draw from the most well seasoned influences.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

eyez2sea I really enjoy how melodic they are while at the same time being instrumentally intricate, like proggy, you can tell being how young they are how far they are going go

[@omgyjyakYllow]

me encanta esta banda, deberían sacar mas canciones

[@ameliarose4257]

I am a huge lemon twigs fan!!! I beg if you to come to Florida!😭😭😍😍😘

[@gabrielatorres2760]

me encanta the lemon twigs

[@corpsebrideemilie69]

I love them

[@rahadianlintang5526]

their live performances are great

[@courtbeall7768]

Anyone who like these guys will love Crack The Sky.Very similar vibe 45yrs apart.

My 4yo daughter love them :)

[@alanoneill3065]

thoughtful guys

[@emmanethery3191]

These are two of the most attractive men alive.

[@Kkidzz]

Check out the band, We All Together; released two amazing albums in '70 and '71.... the Peruvian Beatles/Wings

[@mccreadymatthew]

Jason Schwartzman?

[@dearreader9739]

I'm glad to hear the cite the beatles as pretty much a major influence. And I hope that people who hate on my other comments which call them out as sounding very beatle-esque realize they admit as sounding like beatles

[@earlyautumnstation]

Maybe don't call yourself Trollaholic?

[@alexcooper3651]

You must be a genius, picking up on such niche influences as ~ the most influential band of all time. I’d never even heard of the Beatles until now. Well done, go well, you’re better than everybody else, just as you always knew.

[@dearreader9739]

@@alexcooper3651 I never really considered myself a genius, but I truly appreciate your compliment!

[@rydersings]

Interesting to see how differently they think of their creative process.

[@brimarie4154]

I love how Michael just doesn't care in most of the beginning

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Wow, that mullet

[@eeo1973]

Wait, did Brian say his first song was based on the Monkees (Nesmith) The Kind of Girl I Could Love? I gotta hear that!

[@lesterjeanpierre4343]

michael was a cool lill dude on "Are We There Yet"

[@cwice992]

turn the quality to 144p, now youre back to the 80s

[@stephenpemberton85]

So right dude✌️💛🤘

[@chemistryset1]

these guys are what the Coen brothers would be like if they didn't keep shit in-house. or just basically a musically Coen brothers .. there was something almost tense about this interview.

[@TinaHyde]

Almost? 😂 I felt like Brian was thinking “I’m gonna beat your ass when we get home.“ the whole time. But they’re young, and they’re artists (really good ones) so some interviews are bound to be a little awkward.

[@MikeDiebold]

These dudes look like characters from Gummo

[@ANOK541]

Young Bowie

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

BEATLES FOREVER

[@codybell4669]

I think their main influence was school of rock. I wanna see them tour with cage the elephant and of Montreal

[@tommy1273]

Are these guys related to the D'Addario guitar company?

[@Labeilibfoflne]

tommy1273 asking myself the same question

[@sunny.lie.melody]

Nope, they aren't! But they did get a discount on the strings once because of the shared name lol.

[@normasmith5438]

hugh fan found them onto tonite show. b

[@jgwire]

we're at a time now where bands are coming up without a trace of punk -- not that it's a good or bad thing. You gotta wait till kids will start hearing mom and dad's punk records -- if mom and dad are still alive, lol - for those bands to reemerge. It's great to see bands like this find a niche. When I was coming up, it was cool to hate all the influences they cite, even though, of course, bands were listening to it in secret. .

[@normasmith5438]

hugh fan found them onto tonite show

[@timstill152]

They put it very straightforward from the interview. They are musicians making music. Don't ask them to explain themselves in front of the camera. Sensitive people don't work that way.

[@MassiveFish-hp4pm]

You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to Lemon Twigs

[@logixc2660]

I feel like im back in the 90s

[@nicktoothpick9970]

Logixc you mean the 60s/70s?

[@jgwire]

i didn't hear many bands playing this style in the 90s but maybe i wasn't listening for it.

[@InstantRequestTV]

jay wire well there were those 90s Britpop bands like Supergrass

[@sabrinasjourney]

Very manufactured appearance.

[@Pthunderful]

European festivals seem to have real journalists doing these interviews vs Coachella and lollalozaa where they have models

[@Nas-ur6lb]

these guys are talented musicians... no doubt, but what has happened to creativity? like they seem to be going for a Bay City rollers mid 70s look... these kids were teenagers in the late 2000's, I get going for a nostalgic look, and that era of rock and roll was great..... But we need a new sound.... we need creative good art to come back...

[@blink182lives100]

Alex Hendrick that is the fashion of today’s youth and it just so happens o resemble the fashion of the 70s... everything is a cycle

[@jgwire]

everything is a cycle. that's for sure.

[@TinaHyde]

Have you listened to their music? It’s incredibly inventive and fresh, and I even though their influences are identifiable, I honestly cant think of what single genre they would neatly fit into.

[@VanielDeeform]

@@TinaHyde Jangle pop/Power Pop. Retro Radio Rock.

[@imdoingfine5743]

blah blah blah

[@beastieboy9286]

Boring.

[@ThatFilmisGnarly]

theyre cool until you realize their family is incredibly wealth (D'addario is the largest guitar string manufacturer in the world). Nepotism makes them less cool.

[@TinaHyde]

I’m just focusing on being grateful for their songwriting.

[@sunny.lie.melody]

They're actually not related to the people behind D'Addario strings, they just happen to have the same last name!

[@Tityretupatulae]

Different families

[@eqborn]

The guy on the left is definitely on the spectrum

[@user-ib5qw9rb2j]

this was the most boring video ever.. good music tho
