Todd Rundgren is one of their major influences; The Twigs have been known to cover a couple of his songs. Todd joined them on stage at Coachella and in Pomona, CA to perform “Couldn’t I Just Tell You”; you can find the videos on TH-cam.
Great stuff. Their records completely fail to capture the energy of their live performances. Hopefully the new album will get the production it deserves.
Agreed - I discovered them through live videos/performances and when I heard the albums, I was shocked at how THIN the mixes, arrangements, vocal placement and production were on those first two records. "Songs for the General Public" definitely is an IMPROVEMENT in production, no doubt - hopefully they'll get to work with someone who will bring out the magic they have in these performances on record. These guys are the most talented rock songwriters to come around in years, so really hoping they keep trying to get the bigness of that sound on records, while holding onto the space required to make their songs breathe.
They record their albums, themselves - and yeah, the earlier records sound incredibly thin, with some pretty bad arrangements and mixes. The SONGS are always brilliant - and at the time, I was saying they should work with a producer/engineer who can bring out the power in their songs, but their last two albums have sounded better. Still not where it *should* be, but they seem to be getting better in the studio.
Nice to see them on KEXP again but I’d love to see their original lineup again, both brothers switching on vocals/guitar and drums. I was lucky enough to see this lineup in Manchester and it was amazing
We are in the 2019 and you're too steriotiped and there's not reason why you have not to look like nowday's guys. However this song sounds good enough for my ears.
first off it's sterotype not steriotipe, secondly what are you trying to say? "there's not reason why you have not to look like nowaday's guys" wtf does that mean?
And at last it doesn't matter if you don't understand what I mean ... it doesn't change the way I think... they look like something already seen... and for me tere's not reason why they are dressed like this... I'm unable to understand why... guys from 2019 have to look like guys from 70... that's terrible stupid... it means they try to be something they are not... in fact they are nothing... no sense... music don't need their contribute... bye... and try to be guys from your time.
Absolutely, nothing wrong with it, but I don't like, and I keep on thinking that it would be better to care about image. Sorry I'm Italian, too glamour.
Completely in Agreement! I’d have thought it was obvious until I read most of these comments. I’m probably going to get some flax for my comments saying how incredibly Unoriginal they are in sound and style and clearly they’re wannabes of 70’s pop icons.
Anyone can express himself in the way he likes, however it doesn't mean nothing. The are unoriginal and the musical way they ride, even if they sound good, smells like something already earded, and if I have to be honest, the original ones from 70ties are better. For me they're nothing new or intresting, good musicians,,that's true, but talent is elsewhere.
Unimpressed. To say The least. Nearly wannabes. Vain 70’s euro-pop wannabes concerned with image and aesthetic over originality and creativity. They literally sound as though they have taken inspirations, Elton John, billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, whoever (take your pick) and the likes of other 70’s pop or rock icons, and used them like Templates for their own songs & sound. Not even remotely original. I’m sound and in style. Two thumbs Down!
wow thank you nathan I wouldn’t know what to do without your input, you really opened my eyes and surely the eyes of everyone else and hopefully the band itself!
The fact that these guys aren't super stars is proof that we are doomed as a species.
I concur.
I second that emotion
They’re so talented, pretty young, using influences wisely, coming up with these original songs, lots of instrumental fills
What à great uplifting euphorie song. We needs more of these Kind of bands.
This band will be HUGE!!
They performed this on Jimmy Kimmel. It was a sublime performance. For some reason it was taken off TH-cam.
Bananas in Pyjamas I know ☹️. This is almost as good though.
I search that exibition
i know i dont understand why?! michael was particularly rocking it 👌🏻

@@mvphrase really????????????
So happy to see these guys here on KEXP, they've become shiny stars so fast! They rock.
P.S. please, please don't ever start taking drugs
It might be too late
Matia Mus you are way to late on that one
Oh...they are definitely on that train already.
Yes!! Happy to see them again on KEXP. My favourite song of the album.
Bloody fantastic !! ....talented lot of players
So, so, so much talented.
Brian's solo is so fucking amazing... he is a virtuoso
Best performance Ever
Soooooooo good. Hope they do SNL.
What a time machine, far out
Awesome. 💜
Great great band!
Totally Shredding!
Right this is like an equivalent to a jimmy page solo tbh
Right this is like an equivalent to a jimmy page solo tbh we need more solos in music like this
These guys never disappoint. Channeling some Springsteen on this one!
I love when Michael lets loose
The change at 6:00 is just so perfect
shouts loud.....”FUCKING BRILLIANT.”
epic with the shanananananas
good
Strat guitarist must be Ron Wood's secret son
They should have just put this version on the album. JFC.
It must be bright AF in there.
Fucking brilliant.
Ребята мододцы👍👍👍
Reminds me of Todd Rundgren
Zachary Lee Todd Rundgren sung on their new album
@@DrNigelBalrog awesome. I had no clue. Just got major Todd vibes. Makes total sense now.

I almost forgot to watch it today!😪
Epic! And relevant considering the isolated school kids who are so bullied they lose it.
That’s why I tried to abandon others b4 they threw me away
Que puta maravilla
THIS IS LIKE their Genesis-Suppers ready. this whole album. i swear... shiz... they need to re-incorporate this pianist.
Second~ also great music!
Yeas. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
Michael stay away from drugs.
Yea that’s all I was thinking watching this 😢

Tim Heidecker's jam

I was there and I concur
Make sens
7:30 thank me later.
O, no. So wrong. But so subversive.
N9thing about their music, I appreciate.
Idk it’s so influenced, stylized. Lil over the top.
They sure are not trying to be too subtle about it. I like it personally.
We are in the 2019 and you're too steriotiped and there's not reason why you have not to look like nowday's guys. However this song sounds good enough for my ears.
Lol. Dude, they can look like what they want to, wtf

@@walkr7998 significa che ho altro a cui pensare e che questa band è del tutto irrilevante. It means that i don't like... bye

Two thumbs Down!
Can you do a better job then?
Jesus mate who doesnt use their influences as templates? Not every single band these days can come with a new sound thats never been heard before.
wow thank you nathan I wouldn’t know what to do without your input, you really opened my eyes and surely the eyes of everyone else and hopefully the band itself!
Stupid comment man. They’re successful and that’s all that matters. We don’t see you releasing anything now do we? I’m waiting.
You can't stand the fact these guys are immensely talented.
I'd love to hear some of your original music.
