He found his voice so early too, his music projects in high school allowed him to perfect it. Into college and beyond with his work on Teenage Cool Kids, he was truly able to explore more in music because of that foundation work he put in. He truly has earned where he's at right now, he has put in the work for so many years!
sounds like it's actually pretty shredded here, in a way that might not be healthy. he might just be sick or this might be late in a set/tour/whatever but it sounds like his vocal chords are kinda giving out.
One of the things I love about this band is their ability to look like they’re about to fall into total collapse at any moment, but at the same time keep it all together with perfect execution. Other than the drummer who just looks like he’s chillin, playing with Lego’s.

The Drummer is definitely channeling Charlie Watt of Rolling Stones fame. He’s so calm and collected, yet he destroys the drums with his powerful rhythm
I find it interesting that Austin and Sean are so much quieter in this performance compared to the studio performance, but Andrew maintains the same visceral raw vocals in both versions.
I remember seeing parquet courts in like 2014 with other acts when they were fairly new and thought they were a lot of fun but their latest stuff is incredible work
Andrew Savage in recent interview with NPR: ""Total Football" isn't exactly a hardcore song, but that's the imagery I see when I hear it. Kids stage-diving and creepy crawling. Definitely a lot of [hardcore punk] youth crew influence toward the end, with the gang vocals, and the vocals on the outro. The bass line of the song was inspired by Devo. I had these parts written for the longest time before [adding] the pre-chorus and chorus bits. The lyrics take the form of a manifesto, which is fitting for the first song on this album I think. Bold and declarative."
The album art also has a reference to that album (Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!) and this song in particular. The cover has "Q: Are you quite done now? A: Not at all!" which is also a lyric in this song.
For all the people who are like “omg, a new rock album that’s good???”, there’s a ton of new amazing shit that flies under the radar. And also, the band Crumb is probably going to be worldwide indie darlings soon. The best modern psychedelic music I can think of.
excellent groupe et on voudrait nous faire croire que le rock est mort!!!quand j'entends tout ce qu'ils osent nous passer sur les radios françaises aie aie aie et puis des groupes comme ça ya pas photo,j'ai 60 ans et j'écoute du rock depuis mes 8/9 ans et je ne suis pas prêt d’arrêter,comme disent les damned ,si c'est trop fort c'est que vous etes trop vieux...
That BASSS LINE
Yah
And barely any footage of the bass player 😔
Mmm hmm
Glad we’re all here for the same reason🤝
THOSE WHO FIND DISCOMFORT IN YOUR GOALS OF LIBERATION WILL BE ISSUED NO APOLOGY!
A Savage just has the coolest, rawest voice.
What about a gentleman though?
He found his voice so early too, his music projects in high school allowed him to perfect it.

Great Bass
We are conductors of sound, heat and energy
And I bet that you thought you had us figured out from the start
We are conduits of clear electricity
Now you’re back on the pitch to take the apparatus apart
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You’re an ancient now
You're an ancient now
You're an ancient now
On your own
[Chorus 1]
Rebels, teachers
Strikers, sweepers
Better protected
Whenever collected
[Verse 2]
We are troubled by your soft curiosity
But delighted to be anti everything you were taught
Are you put off by our footloose fluidity?
Have your hurt caucasian feelings left you so distraught?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Are you quite done now?
Are you quite done now?
Are you quite done now?
Not at all
[Chorus 2]
Workers, authors
Poets, stoppers
Power resembled
If we are assembled
[Verse 3]
Only through those who stay awake can an institution be dismantled
It is dishonest, nay, a sin to stand for any anthem that attempts to drown out the roar of oppression
[Bridge]
Hesse Total Football
Twombly Total Football
Tzara Total Football
Mina Total Football
Panthers Total Football
KoBrA Total Football
Dada Total Football
Beatles Total Football
[Outro]
Swapping parts and roles is not acting but rather emancipation from expectation
Collectivism and autonomy are not mutually exclusive
Those who find discomfort in your goals of liberation will be issued no apology
And fuck Tom Brady!

Ill say it once ill say it again: best band on the map right now. This new shit is gonna be their best
Mario Galeano couldn't have said it better
Mario Galeano I follow their carreer from the beginning. One of the best bands of this decade. No doubt.
Death Grips and Autechre tho
CometCourse lol
Mario Galeano, Well, what's wrong those two?
one of the best bands to see live in a small venue
Mark DiSessa One of the best bands to see period.
One of the best bands period
One of the best period
One of best period.
Best period.
_"Can we get more hi-hats in the mix please"_
I wish they'd do that sick lead guitar line (during the "IT IS DISHONEST!" bit) live; it's so good
Rip that bass lead! Great work, boys.
I don't think I've ever been as excited for an album
Cruyff
Best bass player I've heard for a very long time.
Such a good song to hear again and again, love the breaks, just what we need nowadays.
When I first heard this on BBC6 music,I thought it was a gem I had missed from 79,great song,and the album is a fine piece too.
Pretty sure I got carpal tunnel just by watching the bassist
LOL
As someone who has just learnt the song on bass don't, for your own sake please don't.
@@cow4741 yeah I'm still trying to learn it

Oh my god. Why is this band so great to me!!
Yes indeed! I'm loving everything I've heard so far
THE RECORD IS AWESOME! One of the best so far this year
Easily my favorite band of the last decade. It’s been quite a ride with these guys.. they know what’s up. They define relevance imo.
New album looks like it may be their best yet! Love everything I’ve heard from it so far!
I cannot stop listening to the new album.
Man, I am glad for some new straight ahead Rock 'N Roll! Go Parkay Quarts!!
Great song from a great album that like all the great albums slowly grew on me
Can't remember how I found out about Parquet Courts, but I love them.
I'm glad they gave Max a microphone
Iggy Pop, now a presenter on BBC 6 Music, says he will play ANY song this bands plays. He would know.
Love it!
GREAT VOICE...PASSIONATE RAW AND JUST AS GOOD LIVE AS ON RECORD
So good live!
That bass line is so perfect.
That snare sounds great!
Love that they’re putting this shit up here in Austin 🎸 - Skip ACL, we need more theatre shows from you guys.
savage is his name cause savage is how he feels
Sounds like cleaned up punk. I dig it
JeskeyRC thats indie rock for ya
Cleaned up punk and angry early Shins.
That's what I always thought!!!
@@user-fo3yt1jq6n No its Not.
Sounds like Wire in a good way
That Jaguar tho
Yes please
holy shit, that vintage Squier Bullet!
For some reason it reminds me of Gut Feeling by Devo
You're right in a way. I love Devo
Exact same chords.

Smashing.
Reminds me of king krule and Preoccupations, time to get hooked on this amazing band!
it's been a while since I liked a new rock album, Wide Awake! is just great
the bass puts up so much work
I can FINALLY stop listening to music that's more than 30 years old!
ok boomer
There’s a fuckton more like this from the past 10 years... do you want recommendations?
How do I contact these guys????
Brandon did you ever get in contact with them?? If so what was it for??
Holy shit, it’s Brandon Perna
@@connorcedergreen12 you nosey twat ha ha
Perna what are you doing on here!!!
I heartily share their feelings about Tom Brady.
xTheOxx That's because you're a complete tool.
You eat ice cream; everybody knows it.
Hah, I can't argue with hating that stupid diet.

Sounds like they lifted the riff from terrorital pissings. I like it anyways.
