I'm 62 years old...and I'm diggin' this band. I like to hear young people making new music.

[@martyknox4]

77 like Paul anka and Elvis reincarnated wow saw them on cbs got the same feeling when Adam joined queen what a great group guitars lyrics voice on my bucket list !!! Yep still filling up the bucket list things to do places to go books to read new musicians 2024 is a great year 5:22

[@Togwlm]

Saw them live 2 years ago. I knew they were gonna blow up eventually glad they’re getting more exposure they’re awesome!

[@dbaran819]

I'm 75, heard Eddie My Love driving from NC to NJ on U of DE station yesterday. I used the repeat feature on my radio until it would no longer let me and jumped back to live. bcmb will be here a long time with that classic sound and Wes's bright, strong vocals. They need to come to the Jersey shore soon!

[@wilyumfalcon4802]

62. 2

[@davidnikoloff3211]

67 here and these guys are my new favorite. Talent has no age.

[@clairehorrigan4531]

This band perfectly blends the old with the new to create an entirely fresh sound. Yes there are hints of Elvis, Roy Orbison, the smiths, the cure, vampire weekend, the killers, etc, but this is something new! And they are so tight in this set. Talk about talent! I have listened to this video on my commute every day since I first heard it because it’s just that good. This band is gonna be huge!!!

[@jcspamcan]

I was hypnotically transfixed. This whole set is great.

[@davidjuanlozano503]

Brilliant.. simply brilliant! X

[@luismolina5063]

I'm 62 yr and have wanted the old to stay here and it is still here 🎉

[@gothicplaguez]

So in love with his voice 💓 i hope to see them live again!

[@LindaDestefano]

I love everything about these guys! Roy Orbison and Elvis in one package.❤

[@joannepro3047]

I do hear an Elvis, as well as Roy!

[@brianmikesell5351]

very talented. this band...calling it right now....is going places! Can't wait to see them live in Ohio soon

[@knifelibrary]

They are going places….like Ohio.

[@markokun1023]

Wow these guys are amazing!

[@Oddstarr]

I've watched this set all the way through at least 8 times now and I'm still coming back for more.

[@albertobrandao6304]

I am in love with this band. 😍

[@jmi4754]

this band takes me right back to the end of 1984 when I discovered "the smiths" with the title "what difference does it make?"

[@enderbender429]

if Morrissey, Roy Orbison and (Less than Zero era) James Spader had a baby it would be this singer... these guys bring hope to the music industry... why they aren't huge yet is beyond me...

[@SusanDoran]

possibly because they're derivative, as you've pointed out...?

[@jasonk19xx17]

@@SusanDoran What can still be done that's not derivative?

[@Joeychitown]

Yesss.... Spader.. and we have the hybrid of Casey Neistat and Beavis on drums, Steve Perry on guitar rounded with John Deacon and Roger Taylor on bass and guitar.

[@robblake6623]

You might throw in a little Idol or Bowie sound to his voice.

[@joannepro3047]

Yes! A haunting quality to his voice like Roy!

[@muyhambre]

His voice gives me goosebumps sometimes! Phenomenal

[@platinijarvis8613]

Great songs, Great band, Great voice

[@ceciliamendoza2552]

Holly Hotness!!! Fire tracks!🎵 🔥 🎶 Want more, more, more of these jams. New fan alert!🙌🏽

[@bigsciencemusic]

Great to hear a solid, quality band with Morrissey inspired sound!

[@knifelibrary]

Morrissey sucks.

[@SS-gx7tg]

It's like the best qualities of Morrissey + Robert Smith + Roy Orbison blended together with the singer's own style and personality and the end result is so absolutely perfect. I'm obsessed with this band!

[@AShyLily]

So gorgeous and talented young man! Great band!

[@townseyst8467]

Can’t stop listening. Every song is insanely good 👏

I don’t go to concerts but I would definitely go see these guys live! Great sound!

[@jmb1864]

They are great live!!!

[@laradiantrr9357]

"Eddie my Love" was the first song I heard by these guys over a year ago...and it is still my favorite 😍...an instant hit that one!🎶🎵🎼🎤🕺🏼 This young man is so gifted vocally ....his vocals soar so gracefully....like butter😎 smooth- amazing!

[@luismolina5063]

Good simple and sincere 😢😅 praise God 🙏

[@MarkCLeo]

I’m such a Rearview Mirror fan

[@NetScourge]

That's my favorite song too

[@bunnyman0463]

Loving this sound with the talented mix of completely up to date vibe mixed with recognisable retro influences. Please come to the UK

[@eleanafernandez6518]

Seeing them live was amazing. If they ever see this, PLEASE RELEASE MORE MUSIC. THEY ARE SO HOT.

[@Jusell]

This band is my current musical obsession ❤❤❤❤❤ just WOW

[@keithbringle9864]

Agreed!!!!!😂😂❤❤🎉🎉🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@gayland819]

I just go turned onto these guys today. Really love their sound...modern happy tunes, reminiscent from another era...Think I'll go check them out in LA in a few weeks. Should be a great show!

[@jasonk19xx17]

What a great sound mix!

[@rankenfile]

I was there and it was a great time! Nice outdoor area too.

[@sathlin]

Wow! amazing concert.

[@jthurman8651]

The best thing in an otherwise horrible year. These guys are amazing

[@luizkafirelepanzu]

Há tempos não ouvia uma banda com uma sonoridade tão natural, nostálgica, e autêntica. Muito bom!

[@user-my8cq7ww2x]

One of my favorite new bands... at times it reminds me of Orville Peck singing for The Smiths. So f'ing good!!! Love them!

[@Emory-dv9qt]

parabolic group!!

[@bkjstudio]

Seeing them at 7th Street Entry on Friday!

[@user-jy8vw2jn1f]

[@ilovehayescarll]

Fantastic!!! I'll take all of this you've got!

[@JasonKale]

Brilliant!!!!!

[@joelewing4498]

Well I'll be damned. I'll be 70 this year and a hard core rocker from birth. I surfed in on a whim, and I actually think this is some good stuff! Like many of you Boomers.....I've seen a zillion live rock acts....some of the biggest ever......and these guys are polished and that drummer.....he's got chops. If I had to bet.....I'd say if these cats stay the course.....they'll be BIG. Good luck to you and God Bless us all!

Eu penso como o senhor. Estou esperando que eles venham a Europa. Viva o ROCK 🙌🏽🙏🏽 e parabéns ao senhor pelos 70 anos de vida. Que Deus o abençoe

[@townseyst8467]

@@PotelinoSevenno worries man. I found the contact details for their manager on their website and sent him a message. He said that they are coming in the autumn. But there’s no dates announced yet, so keep an eye out for it 👌

[@danonnet]

Excellent recording of a great band that I would buy as a live album. As soon as I heard them, I searched and found them on tour with a stop nearby. Can't wait to see them live in Sept. 2024. It's not very often that a band this talented emerges in this day and age and until I get to see them live, I'll be enjoying this video. Thanks, The Current.

[@Coke73]

Coming to Philly XPN on Friday February 16th. Can’t wait to meet you.

Need these all to be realeased rn

I really love them! Wes sounds so much like Morrissey. I'm going to see them in a few weeks at Cafe Du Nord in SF.

Superb set, saw you guys twice in London earlier this year, fabulous, please come back to the UK soon!!

I’ve seen them live twice (within 24 hours 😂 - one was at a club and the next day, they performed at a radio station’s live studio) and I can’t stop listening to them! Such a great sound. Can’t wait to hear their new album that is coming out in August.
