I’ve watched this over and over and over again

[@selinsu]

I never thought this song could sound better than it already does, but oh boy

[@46I37]

Wow. So Tight! and great mixing by the JJJ audio team!

[@kyungsoosnipples]

Love them so much! Too bad they canceled their show in Manila but still NBT please add us again in your next tour please 🙏🙏

No that honor belongs to Devin Townsend followed by Chris Cornell, Freddy Mercury and Lemmy in no particular order.

i don't understand why they're not more famous like a Coldplay band or something, this band has really something else, i can't stop listen them, not many bands can do that on me.

[@danielwalker2456]

Give it time dude, they've only been around for 6 years.

[@fullabeatz]

Listen to a band called mew - album "Frengers" if you already havent. I think bands like these are what should be more on the radio than the shit everywhere else. more bands like these

Saw these guys last year supporting Muse. They're a powerhouse waiting to happen!

[@camboyd5219]

Simon Evans same, they were awesome!

[@ronaldrosete4086]

Muse and NBT are both awesome.

[@MaT1cus]

Felt he sounded too muse like to be supporting muse. But definitely came around to this song.

[@Hungarycloud]

Me too! I was looking forward to seeing them more than Muse tbh

[@Guillermosanchezing]

Same here. They absolutely killed it.

[@lorandliszkai7084]

So underrated.

[@tonyyak3990]

Loránd Liszkai there’s many under-appreciated bands and not enough time to listen to them all.

[@phatuom]

Loránd Liszkai I think it's better, if they got famous they will be forgotten easily and boring

[@JESUS-IS-LORD-HALLELUJAH]

His voice is so smooottthh.. those high notes sound effortless (Apart from the chorus I have no idea what he’s saying though lol)

[@sujatara]

Yeah Conor tends to slur(?) his words a little. I've been a fan since 2013 so I'm used to it now, but pretty much everyone needs to google the lyrics of their songs the first time :')

[@michelleduncombe9675]

They slur words like that because it makes it easier for their vocal chords to stay tight while they hit the high notes.

[@kirstene6938]

That scream at 2.08 though. Holy fark!!!!! Conor's voice makes my brain bleed and my soul ache. So incredibly talented

[@asma6946]

I can’t get tired of listening to their music

[@joejoesinnffiioo2325]

Their connection to each other is so magical I saw them in concert in salt lake and all I did was cry because of how beautiful it was I first heard high enough and it helped so many emotions inside me after my mother had passed they said everything in that song that I never could say and the video is exactly what I went through i got the chance to meet them and I never thanked them for it I was so taken back by the presence of them that I couldn’t get out any words and I wish I could have but I’m so forever grateful for this band they are really something special

[@MrEmmierachel]

Joejoe Sinnffiioo I saw them at Usana a couple years back when they were just gaining popularity and it’s still my favorite show I’ve ever been to.

[@AnestezijaNbg]

Glad they lowered key, it's much better for the voice :)

[@dasbrando4570]

Most bands will do that on live performances to preserve their vocalist

[@aBitChopsyOfLate]

Perfection! Please don't remove their videos again!

[@MCManChill]

A band in their own league

[@TmanUtube]

So about 1 year ago, I'm driving when my iPod just dies, & the J's kicks back in with this song. I'm hooked from the 1st chorus. Quickly shazam it just incase I missed the intro title. Shazam comes back with info, & I start bashing my head on car steering wheel laughing my head off. Why? Because my wife is Dutch!!! 😆 Introduce her this song, & when the Title verse came on she just lit up. We're both massive fans of this band now. 👍👍Seen them in December & this tour. Hope they're back soon. So glad my iPod died.

[@artrenberry]

I forgot how damn good this song was.

I call this video “that one where a Jimmy Johns’ delivery driver opens up his mouth and emits an angel of pure fury and light that viciously caresses the planet’s soul”. Change my mind

[@MFKNJJ]

Bruh this is the most beautiful description of this video I've ever read I'm crying

[@mr123fakestreet8]

Didn't think triple J would ever get NBT in the studio 👍 Saw them in Perth last week and was amazing just like dis 🤙

Don't know where I've been, but this is my first time hearing this. Solid rock, great vocal!

[@zkhott1]

So good to hear a singer with their own voice

[@tripzville7569]

Undoubtably one of the best contemporary rock vocalists ever.

[@exzaviorw]

Mars Jonn saw em in march, finna dee em again in september!! They put on a incredible show!

[@marsjonn3974]

I don't know if by any chance I could watch them but I went to some places where they did concerts but I've been there only because of my work 😫

[@lorandliszkai7084]

They are coming to my country next tuesday, but I can't go :/

[@marsjonn3974]

Loránd Liszkai What country are you in?

[@kittycatvapmire9348]

I would love to see them,but all of my friends have completely different music taste to me

[@fr3nn]

The band is OK, but the vocalist is something else. Pretty basic song that you fall in love with just because of the range of the singer. Amazing, what a talent.

[@anya1449]

fr3nn I can’t agree that the band is OK, I mean look into their songs and their lyrics.. it’s insane what they put on the table. I agree conor mason has outstanding vocals but the band itself is hella great and the songs they produce are something very out of this world!

[@musicfamily6]

fr3nn no way-some of their songs are lyrically magical. Particles is amazing, honey whiskey, if I get high, all amazing lyrically and instrumentally and vocally.

[@RogueSwan]

The band is really good and realise they don't need to fight for the spotlight

[@loversspit]

i don’t think the music would be what it is if it wasn’t for every single person in the band.The work they put into every song in insanely good, from the bass to the drums to the vocals. Sure, Conor Mason is amazing but so is Dom, Phil, Joe... All of them make this amazing... thing? that I don’t think they’d do separately.

[@zaraeraesmith7510]

The craftmanship that went into this song is masterful and if it were a solo act than the song wouldn't exist at all

[@grahamhorchner2091]

Saw these guys at Splendour a couple of years ago. One album in and they absolutely ROCKED it! December 2017 at the Brightside in Brisbane Fortitude Valley. Insane gig in such a small venue. People stuffed in, never more than 15metres from the stage, sweat and great music! July 2018 Eatons Hill Tavern. Bigger venue and still no less intense! Nothing But Thieves have to be the GREATEST band on the planet right now! If you have an opportunity to see them live... GRAB IT, before they are playing massive venues where you can't get close!

[@Kegman027]

Graham Horchner we had the whole family at the EH - front row - perhaps one of the best nights of my life - totally agree that they are going to be huge - I reckon they might end up being bigger than Muse - their music is perhaps a bit more accessible (more pop-y?) that will get wider play in more stations. So psyched that I’ve gotten in on the ground floor that will be part of my life for the next few decades.
