My favorite band growing up was Nirvana, I was absolutely obsessed with them. When I was 13 my older brother showed me Tfot and now I know why Tfot connected with me so much. Keep doing what you’re doing man love it! Ps. I got my middle school dance to play F.C.P.

[@jonnymurgatroyd856]

omg hearing nerdy was one thing but when Red Wedding by The Bled and then Drowning the Old Hag by Fear Before, I was out of my chair haha. Had no idea Thomas was a fan of 2 of my all time favorite albums/bands.

[@ttngeo7494]

This is the coolest content for music heads. I wish every musician would do this Tom you wouldn’t believe how many musicians would put you and your works in their influence breakdown. You’re a staple and foundation to so many musicians man, more than you know. Thank You

Thomas erak and young thug - my 2 favorite artists

[@jessebrown9624]

I've spent so much time looking for 'bands that sound like fall of Troy' and people have given me some good feedback but I really just needed the man himself to show me 🤘🏻

[@patrick88suns]

love the shout out to CHON and COVET, both rule so hard

[@jamesmickel9450]

might be the best stream yet, was really fun just hearing thom nerd out over his favourite stuff, he seems like hes really starting to get comfortable with streaming and hes become so much more fun to watch recently. great seeing him really get to grips with this stuff

[@ryosan7790]

It's so surreal getting to know Tom like this. Loving every moment. Keep up the good streams!

[@TheReverOcelot]

Wish more bands do this kind of stuff. This was coolest stream ever!

[@jessebrown9624]

Anything that Yvette Young is involved in is beautiful! I particularly love her acoustic EPs! So talented

[@jonathanacevedo4335]

Oh man I was FREAKING out. I thought I missed it. Must watch!!

[@Jusu03]

So Thomas was a real emo boii. I love these songs

[@jessebrown9624]

This made me so happy! I added so many bands to my list of artists to check out. The fall of Troy is my favorite band of all time so it's gonna be great to check out who influenced them

[@zuzazilla3796]

I'm from Olympia and I grew up listening to you guys. You're my favorite band and influenced my electronic music!

[@Wesley.Deuren]

Got any music up?

[@zuzazilla3796]

It's not perfect but, the idea is there. Started making beats a year ago using a free app called bandpass. Just doing it for fun and for the love of music but, thinking of transitioning to fruity loops soon for higher quality sounds. The Fall of Troy will forever be my favorite band however, since this is edm there are other hip-hop and edm(hardstyle)influences. It's not mastered or near finished. Still needs lyrics, the vocals will be singing and screaming (Hardcore influences).

[@Wesley.Deuren]

Awesome, loving it dude!

[@Wesley.Deuren]

Here's my attempt at some electronic: soundcloud.com/wesley-deuren/sickie2-tempo-125?ref=clipboard

[@iamgodbringmecake]

Lol @ when you said you wanted to beat someone’s ass to that Botch breakdown. I always think the same during that part. Botch rulz \m/ also it is really cool to hear your origins and how other bands influenced you.

[@dustinskaggs3493]

Do you still have the Gibson sg x lingering around bro? That was a pretty cool one.

[@Olderbutstillalwaysdrowsy]

The Fall Of Troy live in Pompeii

[@sebastianp1822]

[@CFChristian]

Fun fact, you are a huge influence to the band Loathe. They released one of my top five albums of all time last year. Edit: that Limp Bizkit quote was from Hot Dog Flavored Water, akhtualllllly

[@drpibisback7680]

Love the love for Botch. They're so sick, I'm sad their minor reunion was just a one-off. Edit: Look who looks stupid now. At least I've got tickets.

[@mitchgruen2797]

William Goldsmith is such a great drummer.
