Good band sir - but for me Killswitch Engage laid the template for all Metalcore that followed. They are the masters of that style of music.
Alive or just breathing is the quintessential Metalcore album. Both in terms of the sonic qualities in mixing brutality with melody but also the hardcore aesthetics in the lyrics and the vocal techniques.
I've been a fan since Dear Love and Color Decay is incredible. After a few albums of trying to figure out their new sound, they have perfectly capture the balance between pop/heavy/atmospheric.
same. color decay is already a certified hood classic
TDWP is one of the best bands to ever do it. Been a fan since 2007 or so when I first heard Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over and that synth breakdown melted my face. Saw them at Warped in 2014 and proud to say I'm a fan for life.
Boop
HELL YA!!
Been jamming TDWP since I was like 14 in 2008. Saw them live last month and I absolutely adore Color Decay. Might be their best album.
Heck yes man! Thank you for this Finn! This is my all time favorite band ever! I went to their last show in Atlanta and Jeremy was so nice to me at the meet and greet. He even noticed my old school PRADA shirt! Super awesome! Thanks guys! This will get me through my work day!
Love the new album, TDWP has aged so well, I hope they continue to make music, I will always support them
Color decay is amazing and extremely emotional. It can be hard to listen to but I love it either way.
Even though Jeremy doesn't really write lyrics, he does such a good job conveying the emotions that Jonathan and Mike put into their lyrics. You'd think it was Jeremy's lyrics eith how effectively he translates them! So he does an awesome job like he tries to!
24:38 - look at the nose movement Finn does when he hears the name of the Deftones. Pure love, joy and passion is what he's feeling in that moment, no doubt about that
I love the questions that you ask Finn. Great interview!
Thank you!
Jeremy is so nice. I met him at a bar after the wcar tour and he just chilled and chatted for like 20 min in NC. Will always love tdwp.
I actually saw them on sounds of the underground back in 2007. It was a pretty metal tour so to speak and this was when vitriol for anything perceived as emo was at its peak. They went so goddamn hard on stage and really left an impression. So while he says they got roasted I distinctly remember them winning over a portion of the crowd. Great memories, been a huge fan since.
One of the dopest most unique bands of all time
I love Prada so this was super cool to listen to. Jeremy seems a grounded guy and just wants to entertain- something that gets forgotten with some bands. Great questions too Finn - nice one!
Color decay is amazing.
Hallucinate is by far my favourite song by these guys ever.. it really hits me deep considering I have chronic migraines almost every day
They're amazing live.
Saw these guys two days ago as support for Wage War. That was one of the best shows I‘ve been to. Every Band was killing it this evening. Wasn‘t surprised that TDWP is good, but I never thought they would be so incredible! Also the other support Band called „Siamese“ from Denmark was great. Three hours of nonestop energy on this stage.
Been a fan of TDWP since Plagues and i've loved their evolution, growing up with the band Color Decay really hits the spot. They've never missed IMO
Very well said, Jeremy 👍
Very well said, Jeremy
Saw them twice in the last year. They went hard af!! So great live. Been a fan since Plagues 🤘🏼🤘🏼
TDWP has been my fave band since 2006 🤘 Have seen them 7x, most recently this year in April in Nashville.
As somebody in my late twenties growing up on this band I've seen tdwp several times recently and they put on the best live shows. Can't wait for the next socal show
Been a fan since Roots, Jeremy always seems like such a rad and down to earth dude from interviews.
man this is awesome to hear. ive loved this band for SO long. fell in love with WRAABB when it came out in 2009 (i was in 11th grade) and just been listening nonstop since. jeremy and mike seem like such cool dudes
thank you so much for the interview. I really love their work, including new ones. I regret that I did not get to them in 2019, when they came to St. Petersburg, Russia
Love their music and love how they make the music they want even if I don’t love it all the time.
Saw them with killswitch in Kansas City in 2009 or 10 and it was INSANE
Man you nailed it on the head, Finn. A lot of the newer metalcore isn't half as fun as it was in the 2010s. Parkway Drive and ADTR used to have beach balls and surf boards and there was a much better since of comradary amongst everyone in the scene.
Great interview, loved TDWP since Dear Love, always cool to see their thoughts on the albums as they evolve
Gratz Finn on the all the great interviews coming your way.
Saw this playing jakarta last week for the 2nd time since 2014. All i can say is, their still keep it 100% !! All the boys are so kind and humble, they accept nicely when i asked to take pic eventhough prolly they’re tired !! Tdwp is on their way to become legend!
Hell yeah. Prada really are the only band from that scene that kept things interesting. They truly are super talented.
Dear Love and Plagues maybe weren't the best stuff they released from a technical aspect, but those albums are just so bizarre and wonderful and seriously embody this punk aesthetic that was really not close to the mainstream at that point in time. It really sounded like people who maybe didn't know what they were doing, but they were having a blast burning the barn to the ground and that's what endeared me to this band.
man i was there when we broke the stage in Denver
Great episode! Wish it was longer. Just a good excuse to have him back on soon.
He made the comment that artists work really hard. Some people might scoff, but in reality its not easy being an idealist, carrying that message throughout the world, and being of your word, either on stage, or wherever youre met.
Hearing all of WRAaB in 2020 with modern production was one of my highlights of 2020. Loved the Act when it came out and i love what they're doing now.
These guys will always be one of my favorite bands from when I started getting into all this music when I was younger. I think of them as a newer band as welll hahaha. I haven't seen them live in a few years, but I've definitely made lots of shows and have always had fun!
Absolute fucking legendary band. My first concert EVER was TDWP 2009 w/ A Day To Remember, Sky Eats Airplane and Emarosa (Sweet Brag Tour). I was only 15 years old at the time. Still absolutely loving there music to this day.
color decay was by far the best album of 2022, had the opportunity of see then live in Milwaukie great show
I never miss their shows!
God color decay is a very emotionally heavy album Jeremy put that perfectly
I saw them yesterday in Antwerp and it was amazing. My only comments: the set was too short (because Wage War is the headliner of this tour) and they could play more Color Decay songs! :D Love this band and I hope they can still do this for years to come!
Same, on mine they played 3 out of 7/8 which were Sacrifice, Salt and Watchtower. I hoped to hear more from CD, which kinda dissapointed me.
Saw them in Belgium last week, they were sick ! New album is crazy good !!
Sounds of the Underground 2007 was probably my favorite concert of all time. I even got a flat tire on the way to the venue and so was in a terrible mood, but by the end I was smiling from ear to ear. Been a huge fan of TDWP since then.
Edit: I just remembered I also saw them a couple years later with ADTR, Emarosa, and Sky Eats Airplane and that was also a sick show.
Dogs can grow beards all over had me hooked from the first time I heard it. God Bless.
Great discussion.
I listened to them through high school (class of 09) and college and by that time I absolutely adored Dead Throne as a record. It was what followed that I kind of fell off. However, the ZII album pulled me back in as well Color Decay combined with my appreciation for what they're doing this far into their career. A lot of bands that survived (not all) from that era have changed drastically. Some have done it well (TDWP, Whitechapel) and others have not imo (Parkway, Architechts). I saw tdwp live a couple months ago and they're still phenomenal if not better than ever before.
Just saw these guys live, like a few months ago, with Dying Wish and Stray from the Path. They played both their Zombie EPs there in full along with a bunch of other stuff. Been a fan since Plagues, I feel like since they came out, every other band within the 2010's metal core "scene" era was just trying to copy their sound, in fact, Finn actually talks about that concept in his Attack Attack video. I picked up Color Decay, loved it! Amazing record and it really shows these guy's music ages like a fine wine.
Color decay is peak Prada imo
Its amazing
Great interview. Jeremy seems like such a cool dude.
Good interview; I enjoyed this!
Awesome interview!
The first time I heard TDWP was Still Fly on the Punk goes Crunk cd. That breakdown got me into breakdowns
Love it!
Never knew Jake Gyllenhall was in a band but Color Decay is amazing and I just saw TDWP with ABR and Bleed from Within. They were ALLLLL INCREDIBLE ❤️
Color decay wasn’t on my radar and I kinda fell off TDWP. But holy shit is this album amazing I listen to it like everyday
Great interview!
Good interview, Finn. Smashed it. Would be fun with a question about religion, connecting, all that. Wonder if they're still as religious as they were in their early 20s.
from what I've seen in interviews, the frontman Mike Hranica is still Christian, though he seems not to be as religious as he was as a younger man. A few of the other guys deconstructed or the Christian guys left and were replaced with nonreligious guys. So Mike thinks he's the only Christian left in the band...they don't identify as a "christian band" and haven't since around 2016.
@@maryannvalerio9869 Mike is pretty much the only Christian left in the band.
Jeremy is one of those guitarists that is just a really solid writer and player all around but kind of flies under the radar. Love this dudes work. Been a fan since I first heard with roots above... all the way back in 2010
Been a fan since I saw the video at turning stone on early TH-cam
Great interview Finn! You’ve always alluded to comments that are critical of you, but are true. What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned from a comment on any of your platforms?
That I can come across and mean and condescending when i dont intend to
Big fan great work Finn much love TDWP
Badass, been a fan of this band since the pop goes punk days
Best Risecore band!
I listened to the shit out of Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over.
I know a lot of people likely don’t like their recent albums. But I absolutely dig their last two albums. Like. A lot. For some weird reason, their version of mellow music I very much enjoy compared to other bands (wage war for example).
sick
TDWP=🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Not a big fan of much they’ve done since the zombie ep but man they still hold my number 1 spot for live shows they absolutely kill every show
Finn, did you hear the full audio for blinks Edging released
my favorite band!
Please listen to new Jakub zytecki heart. It's prog, pop with just amazing feel.
Prada and miss may I are the best band from Dayton
👍👍
I have a genuine question, why have pretty much all the original band members trickled away, James, then chris, Dan, and Andy. I’ve loved watching TDWP live since 2009 but it feels much different not necessarily in a bad way, but it feels way different now than then and I’m curious what became of them.
The bigger the band got, the more their original mission dwindled: Ministry. James was kicked out during the Dead Throne era because the rest of the band wanted to move past what brought them far to begin with in addition to the fact that the band had to maintain its success by focusing more on business than being a ministry. Chris left for fatherhood, however, the band was already changed once Dead Throne came out as noticeable by the subtle lack of attention put on James' live presence and volume of his keys in the mix of the album. 8:18 was a mistake in their catalogue by being overly synth heavy with dark ambience and toned down the ferocity of their music. Dan was apparently kicked out at the beginning of the Transit Blues era for disagreeing with the direction the band was headed in for a while. James and Dan, especially James, reminded the band that their early stuff and their faith brought them as far as they came and the rest of the band wanted to escape that notion. Andy left just because he wanted to live his life outside of the band.
All in all, the band isn't the same for all of these reasons, and the band was having some rocky times behind the scenes while all of this happened, so, now you have a live shell of what the band was with the stench of a corrupted world on them.
@@AGuyUwU that’s kind of what I was thinking, because Mike and Daniel both swear on stage now, (which whatever) but they never used to. I must admit it was a little disappointing. Because their original 6 piece sound live was MASSIVE. I have to admit color decay is solid though. Thanks is for the response man. I also agree 8:18 and transit blues are bit rough but all have songs I like on them. Just not near as much as plagues or WRAABB or Zombie EP I which is my favorite era.
@@clintonbruning Daniel was kicked out during the Transit Blues era. I think you mean Mike and Jeremy swear now since those are the only 2 original members left. Color Decay is a good album on its own, but compared to their demo called Patterns of A Horizon all the way to their first Zombie EP, their music since Dead Throne has been disappointing.
@@AGuyUwU I definitely prefer the early stuff too.
Crabcore pioneers
Oh wow. I'm a winner. Kappa
*looks at title*
but...but Alex Varkatzas said he invented metalcore.
Are you telling me he's lying? Say it ain't so, Finn. 😁
Who’s this?! Where the hell is Meryl Streep?!
What is he doing w his hat
TiDW0P 4 life \m/
IMO after James left after dead throne the band took a dive. They lost the fun factor. It's taken til the Act to get back into the band
Very true, man! Imo their last really solid release is the Zombie EP. They became a bit too chuggy after that for me. Will check out their latest two releases though.
They a good band...nothing different to other metalcore bands
:D
Pioneers? The genre had been around for almost a decade already. I'd agree they are pioneers of second wave metalcore. A shining light amongst the rise of Hot Topic scene-core in Attack Attack and the likes but still second wave.
So you agree. Why nitpick?
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA damn, good call. you got this fellow old metalcore nerd on this one.
The recent Alex Jones verdict can validate your opinion of the dangers of craving attention and clout…
I love TDWP, been a fan since Plagues. They are terrificly awesome live, only complain is Mike shouting anti Trump shit when everyone on the crowd just wanted to hear the songs haha 🤣 still love them tho
Yeah they went from “I’d like to thank our lord and savior Jesus Christ” at shows to “fuck trump” which I find truly hilarious.
(I mean this jokingly) Oh hell nah bro why does he have the hat like that he looks like the super annoying cocky hockey kids at my school. I'm talking about Jeremy Depoyster. Nothing against him really but why just wear the hat normally and put it on your head completely.
😂
I think it's because he has his hair up so his hat doesn't stay all the way down. I know the struggle.. us thick hair people have a hard time. 😂
Pioneers of metal core? Lol no offense but not even close, as I lay dying did it well before them as well as many before them, they had 2 good albums
TDWP absolutely did pioneer this sound
@FinnMckentyPRMBA Finn isn't wrong, the sound of metalcore today is highly derivative of TDWP's sound from Roots and Plagues. Finn isn't saying they created metalcore, they just evolved the standard and sound. He even says all the time that Earth Crisis were one of the pioneers.
I don't think Finn knows what the word "pioneer" means.
