The WOE, IS ME / ISSUES Story PART 3: Family Fir[s]t

[@natewhite8922]

Their new song "Red" is a huge track .... tells me their legacy is far from over. It was cool to learn the story from you.

The mention of a skylit drive reminds me how much we need an ASD deep dive. I thought it was pertinent even back from the 2016-drama, but holy shit, the recent competing 2-a-skylit-drives now makes it even more necessary than ever

@@Corvy952 the two competing ASDs are the og lineup (minus kyle) vs. Jag ‘n Friends (he turned signals into ASD). Jag owns the name, so they’re called “A Skylit Drive” and the og line up goes by something like either ASD or “she watched the sky.” I’m not even entirely sure. It’s such a shit show.

[@Drake45100]

If you're still here: Woe, Is Me is back with Michael Bohn, Hance Alligood, Andrew Paiano, Benjamin Ferris, Cory Ferris, Kevin Chanson and Matthew Whyde. Tyler Carter startet a new project called Emerald Royce.

[@kylestewart4444]

When you compare the Genesis era Woe, is Me to literally any of Issues’ material, it just couldn’t be clearer which group had the best songwriting chops and the better musicians. In my opinion, Issues really had something special, musically speaking. Between Tyler’s very unique and killer voice, Michael’s solid screaming capability and the musicianship and musical vision of Rebollo and the Acord brothers, Issues wrote one banger after another. It’s a damn shame that it all came crumbling down because that combination of guys really could’ve gone far. I still regularly listen to all of their stuff. They had a sound that was entirely unique to them and it was impossible to hear an Issues song and not know immediately whose song it was. It wasn’t just because of Tyler’s voice, either. AJ’s characteristic guitar riffs and the precision of his playing was a key factor in their overall sound.

[@Andy_187]

Man, Hance really got the short end of the stick. He's a great singer that was underutilized in a dying band.

[@Conorville]

Doriono came from a band called that’s outrageous! And they wrote a third diss track for this mix

[@Endlessnameless803]

Bohn and Kevin from Woe Is Me have a new band named The Villa which are fantastic if you haven’t checked them out. Bohn had another band briefly after his time with Issues ended but now he and Kevin are working together again

[@dj.slambo3439]

When I heard the first few tracks they released pre-ep I was stoked Bohn was one of my favorite unclean vocalists from this Era.

[@ReanuKeaves1]

I forgot to include but even though Austin seemed cancerous for Woe and bands prior, his drumming is legit catchy asf.

[@FairyCRat]

23:55 THANK YOU! You just summarized my feelings on most of 2010s deathcore. Also I never realized that Genesi[s] had no fully repeated parts (again, save for some hooks like "talk your shit, I'll give you a reason to"). I guess the otherwise stale and repetitive nature of the album completely negates the potential benefit of it, unlike on Number[s] where it was way more apparent. American Dream kinda goes the opposite direction, repeating choruses for more singalong factor, while dialing back a bit on the chuggy breakdowns.

[@The_Drummer_TLT21]

what is Austin doing? He's just standing there, MENACINGLY!!!!! XD

[@theangelbelow88]

I remember watching an interview with Austin Thornton right after he got kicked out of Woe, Is Me and they asked him if he was planning on starting a new band and he said if he was, the band's name would be "I f*ck everything up"

[@KeganTheTowel]

That's a little sad.

[@bachilles3285]

Not that anyone wouldn't agree, but I think Austin Thornton's philosophy of running bands (the stereotypical "No Abusing Substances of Any Kind, No Bringing Anyone Over to the Studio" philosophy) feels more like him committing the Sin of Hubris of trying to keep the Woe, Is Me Mems from letting their egos get the best of them and devolving into the worst versions of themselves, only for the idea to collapse in on itself with Tyler Carter, Michael Bahn, and the Ferris brothers leaving to form Issues, Austin himself getting the boot, and the band breaking up, than it is him just being a dick and burning the band to the ground for the Hell of it. That's my Muse Theory, anyway.

[@bathumb45]

Please do Jamie's Elsewhere! They Said a Storm Was Coming was super influential in terms of later metalcore and the bands music had such an uplifiting vibe. I remember being so pissed when Aaron left, but I still enjoyed Rebel Revive. Now with his work in OM&M as well as Jamie's Elsewhere releasing a single with the OG members back, it'd be a great time to talk about them!

[@connor3086]

It would also be super cool to talk about the Rebel Revive cycle of the album, in which (if I remember correctly): the album was crowd funded, on the album release tour they learned that “one of the members decided to take full writer's credit for the latest album without the rest of the band's knowledge, and therefore received and kept 100% of the proceeds. Despite the rest of the band leaving” Justin Kyle finished out the tour still with the other artists on it which I respected a ton. So I thought it was very interesting that they decided to get back together

[@OneoftheLastBand]

Loving these videos! Wasn't a huge Woe fan at the time but I faintly remembered all the drama that went on. I personally would love to see a video about In Fear and Faith. That was a band that should've been way bigger than they were. Incredibly talented musicians but just a revolving door of members and unidentified problems definitely plagued them. Not to mention, their last show was them opening for Saosin with Anthony Green. Pretty poetic ending given the name of the band.

[@chancelord8052]

I love that you upload early in the day cuz I can listen while I work. Thanks bro! Your shit rocks

[@gothsteeze]

Suffering from mental illness I'm able to heavily relate with the positive messages throughout Genesis as well as when experiencing conflict with others. Austin wrote lots of the lyrics for Numbets as well hence the "you're so proud of the one liners you wrote" line which alludes to Tyler Carter's "never lose your flames" in Desolate The Conductor that he was so incredibly proud & fond of so it's not like Austin didn't start writing lyrics until Genesis for the band by any means. Genesis still gets me pumped tf up & is great for exercising.

[@WoeIsJesse]

In the AP article Austin mentioned he thought the original plan was to replace him and Hance and bring Tyler back, only to end up resulting in the Ferris brothers and Michael then leaving. There must have been some label connection Austin had or some other detail that was never disclosed to have him be such a "root" for the band, wonder what it was that changed between 2011 and 2013. E: Always assumed he was the "electronic/ambient" element in their sound and seemed most likely if that was also his doing in Of Machines' sound

[@Pablowest4life]

For me, Genesi[s] still holds a place in my heart. Yeah the lyrics gets a bit repetitive but it works well for some reason, the breakdowns just hits your face, and this whole record as a whole is a 9.5 / 10. This album got me through high school. Every song gets to me a lot as an emotional roller coaster. Grateful for the record and still is a special album to me

[@hend0wski]

The record really was so innovative for the time. All the djentcore stuff it did was way ahead of all the stuff we have now.

[@ThatWhiteKid704]

"This album got me through high school" is something a school shooter would say in reference to Genesi[s]

Also for anyone wondering what happened to Hance, he started a band called “Favorite Weapon” that didn’t last very long. He’s now in a new band called “Young Mountain”.

[@TriStarr]

I loved the SpinalTap parallel. It's like Woe is Me is an example of the Warped scene reaching critical mass and imploding on itself. A similar thing happened with Yes's album Tales From Topographic Oceans in '73. That album pushed the limit of prog rock so far that it was indiscernible if it was brilliant or a parody of prog itself.

[@gavinmann1341]

Woe, Is Me really took their band name to heart.

[@Space-Holiday]

Weird addendum to this was Hance formed a band called Favorite Weapon and I recall that they hijacked all of the Woe, Is Me social media and used that as their official pages.

Hance was the absolute MVP of the latter era Woe Is Me. Also, the American Dream EP was dope; Stand Up is a banger and the title track with the Danny Leal feature also rips. I think embracing traditional songwriting structure helped a lot. The two acoustic tracks are a bit generic and underbaked imo, but soulful nonetheless.

[@RVxCobra]

True, Hance really carried Genesi[S] and American dream, tho imo American dream is a bit underwhelming, yeah it's good but it's not something i expect from Woe Is Me, it's a bit generic and Doriano somehow sound way worse then he was on Genesis, the only thing that Made American Dream decent is Hance vocals that somehow reminds me to Kyle Pavone from WCAR (Rip) and the up-beat "follow your dreams" lyrics unlike Genesis

[@nicholasadams81]

@@RVxCobra Doriano shines the most in the band Sirona. After Woe is Me, he put out an EP with Sirona, and that EP is a banger. Much more lyrical maturity and depth.

Over the years Woe, is Me loses more and more things that made them unique in their genre. Not just Tyler. They lost their ambient lead guitarist first. After Tyler they lost Michael, then they lost their keyboardist. All those things for me made Woe, Is Me. I think if the Ferris brothers never left, they would have still made it. The song structures would have been pretty much the same. The style in the “We R Who We Are” cover could have been the sound that followed up into Genesis.

“I want to create music until the day that I die. I just want to be involved in a musical project that makes me completely 100% happy.” Has any musician in human history ever been “involved in a musical project that made them completely 100% happy”? Musicians don’t tend to be the happiest of people. Even after a few years of living his dream, Hance still didn’t realize that being completely 100% happy as a touring musician is not possible.

It's so ridiculous in its atmosphere of the da brutes, da riffage and da disses that you kind of have to suspend reality and just go with it.
