This first track rules, Trev! Edit: I said this elsewhere, but I’d love nothing more than the Simple Plan EP on wax! No colors except white or black vinyl.
We were stoked when you debuted this song with us on tour in Boise last August. Holy crap it's good. Sad you beat us to the punch as we have a new single coming out soon too. Rock on dudes!
Signed my divorce papers today and this song hit me so hard. Sometimes the world just finds you the right song at the exact right moment. Great song guys. Looking forward for more.
There was a time in my life when I didn't know who I was or what I wanted to do. I found meaning in August is Falling and I have them to thank for everything I've accomplished. So happy to see them hit the big time and spread their joy to countless others on TH-cam. Falling Fam 4ever!!
I used to play AiF to my oranda, Tarik. We would revel within the timbre of the gut-wrenching guitar while taking refuge in the ever-so-human lyrics. “I’m so mad this summer. I’m so sad this summer”, lines that transcend societal barriers and connect us to our most primal being. Five months ago, we lost Tarik. Whether it’s nostalgia or the simple desire to feel anything other than suffering, I find myself constantly coming back to the music of AiF. It’s the only thing that makes me human anymore. Rest In Peace Tarik. May the gales of August guide you to eternal happiness. January 23, 2022 - March 4, 2022
It's so funny to hear the kids discovering AiF like they're some overnight success, when I literally haven't shut up about them for years. When I worked at Boston Market back in the day, I used to drag my buddies there to AiF shows every time they came through town. These guys have paid their dues, and it shows.
@@hazen7645 There were physical demos apparently and recordings of live footage. I hear AiF were repeatedly screwed over by the record labels for years and just gave up, but finally got a big producer working with and self-published. That's what another commenter was saying atleast
This was my brother's favorite band. Unfortunately he lost his hearing before the official release came out. Now I have to turn the bass up high so he can feel the vibrations. Seeing him come to life a bit more when I play this single means the world to me. God damn you Bruce Klist, you'll pay for what you did to his hearing
Same thing happened to my brother too. The weird thing is when listening to the bass player’s brother’s band Electric Firefly his hearing came back. I think it was on the song “The Influencer”.
I was sitting in my hot tub, enjoying the bubbles, when my wife's kid started playing this song on his step sister's Bose Wave IV. Took me right back to the summer of '98. Back when me and my best friend Marty would hop into my Uncle Jeff's Cavalier, throw on MXPX, and rip on over to Swiss Chalet to split half a bird. 3 years away from graduation and a full 8 years from the Bose Wave II, we were high on life and ready for whatever. Magic.
As the recipient of a heart transplant, the lyrics "Now my heart's in the lost and found." really speak to me. I made sure my donor heart came from a true, dyed-in-the-wool August is Falling fan, and requested that the surgeon listen to this EP when he performed the surgery. This song LITERALLY saved my life!
That's so messed up they put used hearts in the lost and found. The way the world is these days just makes me cry. They could at least feed them to endangered animals or something???
This band saved my life. No literally, they actually saved my life. I was at one of their shows and all of a sudden, due to lead poisoning from my inner ear piercing. I started having a seizure of some kind and lost consciousness soon after. When I came to, I saw their lead singer standing over me, cradling me in his arms. That's when I knew this band was something special.
any responsible doctor will tell you that angsty teen emo pop is the only known cure for sudden in concert onset lead poisoning. spread awareness people.
Shoutouts to everyone who has been with this band since the beginning, and everyone who is just discovering them as they hit the mainstream. August is Falling now and forever!
No. Eff the noobs. They’re ruining it for us old timers. It looks like I’ll have to stop saying in a condescending tone, “but you probably never heard of them”. Our only fallback will be “I was into them before they got popular”. You have no idea how disappointing it is that the originators of bathtub rock are becoming watered down hot tub Muzak. I hope you all get yeast infections.
I actually had a "Bowling Industry Management" class in college with this band's drummer (I think his mom was a higher up at a pretty large bowling shoe company) and I could always tell his passion wasn't for the "Balls and Pins" but for "Sticks and Skins". Really glad these guys are starting to get the recognition they truly deserve.
I shared part of my experience with AiF in a different comment. The coolest thing about seeing them at the Fireside in Chicago that I forgot to mention was the whole band bowling like the rest of us before the show!
This song pretty much changed my life man... I remember passing out behind an Arby's after drinking way too much and eating a few pounds worth of philly cheesesteaks. When I came to, I heard these guys playing across the street in an abandoned auto dealership. No price for admission except for a broken heart and a home at rock bottom. These guys are the real deal. 🖤
I think I was there. In Jackson Mississippi, I was working second shift building facilities tech, and would spend all my day replacing lightbulbs in different offices and stores. I remember pulling up in that beato-up ford baker van they gave me (that thing did even have an AUX jack) to replace fluorescent tubs at this dealer ship, the place was abandoned, half of the windows broken, and in the middle of the half darken show room these kids, playing their hearts away. That changed me forever. I immediately quit my job to pursue my dream of becoming a civil engineer to build sad but beautiful bridges for public transport to reach everyone. Thank you AiF. :(
Exactly the same thing happened to me but it was behind Dunkin' Donuts. Since that day I've been perfectly sober and 100 'nut free. Safe to say this band Changed My Life.
Even though I've admittedly outgrown AiF a bit, they will always have a special place in my heart. Hard to imagine what the genre would be like today without their influence.
I was literally pronounced dead in the back of an ambulance after being shot by this guy who went by the Beato Bandit. They never caught him. But I heard an August is Falling song being blasted by a car stereo behind the ambulance and I woke up because I loved that song. I realized I wasn't ready to die. August is Falling literally saved my life!
@@gregjustlovesyoutubeguidelines HOLY SHIT that was me I kid you not. My wife was in labour and I didn't know which way the hospital was so I followed your ambulance. She gave birth in the car while this song was blasting and now it's one of our favourites! AiF
Lol. It's pretty clear this music will be forgotten in less than a generation. None of the beauty of truly timeless music like the Beatols and the Rolling Stones
My girl decided to leave me last week, on our five year anniversary. In a way, my august just fell. Can't believe I found such a relatable song, you guys are really helping me to get back on track. Look forward for more, pop punk is finally hitting the new gold age
wow man, that’s hardcore. let’s just take a moment to refocus on something remarkable - the power of the universal language that music is and how it’s able to cure any void in a human if it’s composed with such a generous amount of talent of the artist that’s behind it. stay true to the vector of AIF and you’ll be fine by the end of this week, brother - this band is literally one big entity of healing monks for the headphones of this world.
Bro, you will be better off. Relationships typically decline after the first 6-12 months. You got the best out of it you would ever get. She is now 5 years older and someone else's problem. Once you get past the feelings you will realize you won. Most importantly don't be a fool and take her back once she finds out the grass wasn't greener elsewhere.
You know the agents and labels try to drain all the soul out of any band with a voice. AiF is too punk to sell out, so they had to make it hear the hard way.
This band basically saved my life - I was 17, addicted to smash mouth, and had no direction. Then, one of my friends showed me a bootleg of their 2016 concert at Jittery Joe's and I realised what *real* music could be. Since then, I've gotten my act together, and to see Trevor and the boys back at it again with this absolute stunner is all I could ask for.
True story: we were doing a cover of 'I'm so Sad this Summer' at our local open mic when we realized Guy on the Left was there in the audience. He talked with us afterwards. Totally down to earth and humble. Signed my guitar. One of the best days of my life.
I’m 16 again, and it’s summer. My girlfriend just broke my heart, life at home sucks, but you know what? That’s okay. Cuz AIF has a new album out, I stole a six-pack of beer from my stepdad, and I’ve got my whole life ahead of me. This band didn’t just change my life, this band WAS my life. Glad to hear they’re still out there rocking out. Hope to catch ‘em live, might even bring a warm six-pack for old time’s sake. Cheers.
Yoooo dude Trevor fucked my girlfriend on tour when AIF came through Salt Lake City in 2017. Best night ever.. My girlfriend was so stoked dude, will never forget it
AiF literally saved my life. I was in the hospital nearly on my deathbed from a flesh eating bacteria I contracted from an ill maintained hot tub. Their music kept me going and gave me back the will to live even after losing 35% of my outer skin layer. However, their older stuff was raw and more authentic. AiF for life tho.
Jason I'm so happy you're still with us :( Necrotizing fasciitis is no laughing matter. I think that something that taxing and terrifying really showz that being real and focusing on living in the moment is really what makes us truly clean and pure. I hope you got a new hot tube and thickened ur dermal layers such that thermoclines are no longer an issue. -Peace & love, RCB3
I have loved this band for so long now. I had a home birth and was playing this song while my baby August was born. We were all crying. It was an amazing moment.
I was in a coma for seven years after an unfortunate skydiving accident. My family were by my side reading and talking to me everyday. It wasn't until they finally played some of my favourite band (AiF) to me that I finally woke up to crank the volume up. Thank you for everything you've done! I'm so happy you're putting out new music ☺️
Serena, your family may have mentioned a mysterious guy who showed up every day while you were in a coma. That was me. I was in the plane with you right before you jumped. They were playing AiF and we promised each other we'd go to a Border's listening station and share our favorite band together. We never made it to Border's. And Border's never made it out of Chapter 11.
I remember my big brother sneaking me into one of their shows when I was 13, way to young to be at the gig. Watching them play was the lightbulb moment, said to myself that’s what I want to do!! Begged my mum for a bass for my 14th birthday, like a total legend she got it for me. Through music I’ve made the greatest friends anyone could ask for, met my amazing wife, moved to NZ to be with her. I’ve reflected on this many times and I’ve told her if it wasn’t for that gig, I wouldn’t be sitting here now, we wouldn’t have had our amazing kids. I owe everything I have to AIF and that gig, I’m so glad I finally get to share them with her. If she’s not into it, I’m leaving her
Saw these guys supporting Tortured Agony a couple years back, and I can't stress enough how impressed I am with where they are now! Keep fallin' guys!🎸🕺💃🎸🗿
This song got me through lockdown. After hearing them play at a random Denny’s in Minnesota at 2 AM, I could not get their set out of my head. When I hit rock bottom mid lockdown, these lyrics kept me going. Greatest band of all time.
I first heard these guys walking past my daughter’s room. I stopped and poked my head in and told her how good they sound. That’s the first time in a long while that we connected. Thank you August.
Thank you for sharing, Karl. AiF taught me that it isn't always easy to be vulnerable but it IS okay to be vulnerable. Your words echoed with me, too. I hope you continue to connect with your daughter. AiF 4always.
Hopefully soon I won’t have to explain my “August is Falling” tattoo when random strangers point at my neck and ask “what does that mean?” They’ll just know, and the world will be a better place for it. It’s impossible to thank you enough, Trevor. You’ve truly changed my life. Long live AiF! :(
das hier ist ein deutscher kommentar, wurst, käse. ich habe mir in die hose geschissen. ich bitte um hilfe. ich hoffe, dass der übersetzer das hier sinnvoll übersetzt hat. cheers, du verfickte bitch
Ah man! I was at the show when the singer broke down crying after this song, took him like 10 mins to recover. Such a great band! Great to finally hear studio versions.
I’m with you. I saw them in Albany a few years back and Trevor could barely get through “Teardrops in my Journal”. I’ve never seen someone cry so much on stage. So vulnerable. 😭
I remember seeing these guys perform when hardly anyone knew about them. Then came the pandemic, and I fell into a really dark place for obvious reasons. I honestly don't know where I'd be without these lyrics. Thank you August is Falling for literally saving my life.
You sound like a poser. I was into this band way before you were. Way into them. Way. I was way more sad than you were and I thought about suicide way more than you did. You new fans are ruining it for us way older fans.
August is Falling played a memorial concert at my high school after our marching band drum major died in a car accident. I'll never forget the speech the lead singer gave to the crowd before he dropped this banger. They even went to the Dairy Queen all the students go to after school and got dipped cones just like us! They are on their way to being music superstars but still made time for their fans. Best band ever!!!
These guys seriously got me through the pandemic. I’ll never forget the hours I spent in the hot tub during lockdown, listening to the album on repeat.
Holy shit these guys are on youtube now? That's crazy, AiF has felt like a secret club for so long I don't know about throwing the gates open and inviting the whole world in :/ at least they picked the best song on the EP to do this for I guess... this is seriously crazy, I feel like the whole world just got invited into my house on a Saturday night
I’ve been wearing out the demos of this song for so long, to see it finally get the production and mix that it deserves… breathe taking. The band has never sounded better!!!
Dude, this takes me back. Met my wife at an AiF show. So glad they are finally getting the exposure they've always lacked. Should have been on the Warped Tour, no doubt. :(
This band is so amazing they helped me get through one of the worst times of my life. In August of2019 I had to battle several medical issues, a death in the family and a broken relationship. During that time in my life August was truly falling for me
I know it's a bit of a cliché at this point, but this band genuinely saved my life. I don't know where I'd be today without AIF. I remember the good days in Xbox Live Parties, blasting AIF through my mic. SO happy to see some new content!
They literally saved my life once. I was in a hit and run accident when I was riding my bike. Their little tour bus (if you could even call it that lol) saw the whole thing happen, and without hesitation they got me out of the ditch and started doing CPR until an ambulance could get there. They even got the tag number of the drunk guy who hit me! That guy is still in prison because he was out on parole. I literally wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for AiF!!!
Can't believe they still haven't won a Grammy. With Chord progressions that would make Beato weep and the Hoppus Bass rumbling the soul. It's all there. I'm August forever! They deserve to fly so high, just like a dragonfly....... or whatever else can fly so high. Perhaps "August is Flying" could be their sophomore triumph.
AiF is one of the bands that made me want to pick up a guitar. I've had all of their bootlegs for years! So stoked to finally get a high quality version on TH-cam! This song slaps so hard.
@@mj_dj But at what cost? You don’t think this sounds over-produced? The rough around the edges sound of their shows and the demo tapes was kind of their hallmark. They’ve had opportunities to sell out and they used to thumb their noses at mainstream success and the record label guys with their hot tub parties in the Hollywood Hills. Anyway, I used to be really into AIF but I kind of grew out of them. Back in the day I wrote and published a AIF ‘Zine called Murder Is Sad? Maybe you saw it? It was supposed to be about the local punk scene, but I got pretty obsessed with the band. I was proud that I was into them before everybody else. I was so damn proud when I heard they told Edgar Wright to GTFO. Did you know that Scott Pilgrim is basically based on AIF? That film is a travesty without the band, and I’m so glad they refused to participate or cooperate with Wright. Of course, he made the movie anyway and didn’t give the band any credit. In a way, I feel very protective about AIF. I don’t want them to be popular. Their music is special and it’s not meant for everyone. Especially newer fans. Ugh, I hate new fans. New fans just don’t get August Is Falling and what they mean to me personally.
@@MarcosElMalo2 I think I caught some copies of Murder Is Sad? back when I still frequented all the boards, I thought you guys really had something going there and turned me on to a lot of good stuff I wouldn't have heard otherwise! And I agree, they do sound more polished and "main-stream" (ugh) than they did back way back when, but I'm holding out hope that this song is just an outlier because it's the lead single (produced by some big shot producer who probably charged an arm and a leg for it) and the rest of the EP will be much rougher and more personal just like the old stuff. Also, they were right to show Wright the door, Baby Driver was a stinker and not a little one.
Im 37 years old. Pop punk was a big part of my life when I was younger. Recently my nephews have been getting into this pop punk revival, which overall is cool but I try and explain that the old stuff is better than MGK and they should listen to some of that too. Long story short, yesterday they were playing this song and I just assumed that this was some track that I'd missed years ago, because it was like instant nostalgia. They were so happy to prove me wrong. I guess this new generation is gonna be fine. So now I've got a new band to check out. Thanks AiF, and keep on rocking.
This is by FAR the best up-and-coming pop punk band I’ve heard in years. They just simply blow the competition out of the water, glad they’re finally releasing their music
I remember seeing these guys back in 2009 at Cafe Metro in Wilkes Barre, PA with Bob and The Sagets and Tiger's Jaw. Since then their music has saved my life when everything went downhill for me, August Is Falling has always been their for me and I can't wait to see what new things they have instore for us!
Holy shit, I never thought I'd see the return of AIF. I'm honestly crying tears of joy. After everything they've been through, I really thought no band could ever come back from that. That they've always shown such unassailable tenacity and resilience is undeniable proof of why so many people have found solace in their music. AIF is for the people! Welcome back, we need you now more than ever.
The calendar month “August” will now legally be changed to “August is Falling” to respect these icons and everything they’ve done for the scene. Congrats guys. You deserve it.
We opened for these dudes when they came through Denver in 2019. Not only do they kick ass live, but are also genuinely the nicest dudes. Always great to see other indie artists getting the respect they deserve. Hope we get a chance to play with y'all again!
I have fond memories driving around my hometown late a night, windows down, August Is Falling blasting on the CD player, and flipping the bird to anyone we saw walking down the street. AIF was my soundtrack to feeling young and reckless. I cried when I saw them play at my VFW hall. I put one of their stickers on my wallet, showed it to their bass player and said they should start selling wallets. When I saw them a year later - they started selling wallets! And they gave me one for free!!! Will love these guys until the day I die.
I honestly get emotional when seeing that August is Falling is finally releasing new content. AIF got me through so many difficult times, whether it's my parents divorce, COVID-19, or whatever. This is gonna be so sick
My dog buddy just passed away from his seven year battle with prostate cancer. I brought him to the vet this morning and I kept telling him to hold on just a little longer so we could listen to AiF new single. He passed at 11:59am and I was just devastated we couldn’t mosh together one last time to our favorite band and I was so devastated I decided to kill myself. As I was drawing a hot bath I figured I’d give it a listen just in memory of buddy and the video was so amazing it gave me something to live for!!! AiF is god!!!
I've listened to King Crimson, Bach, Stravinsky, Miles Davis, Radiohead, The Beatles, Kendrick Lamar, MF DOOM, Jeff Buckley, Kate Bush, Björk, Immortal Onion, and LosPetitFellas, but none of them can come close in musical quality and feeling to August Is Falling, listening to them for the first time was like a spiritual awakening for me, I was literally reborn from the ashes of my apathetic life, I love you guys.
Dude, I remember hanging out with these guys backstage when I used to play with Day of Our Dying Death (DOODD) . We played at Pascack Valley High School auditorium, they opened up for Scary Kids Scaring Kids. Trevor is such a sick guitar player and lyricist. Trevor... :( so great to see you back on the road. Maybe someday we can make a DOODD X AiF collab. Trevor, you definitely remember me, I was the guy with the 7-string bass tuned to drop-C. Me and my bandmates also had a watergun fight backstage that left a lot of bands unable to use their equipment. I remember Trevor reaching our to the local Episcopalian church for their organ to use for the show instead of their Rhodes that we accidentally broke (Sorry Trevor.... :( ) Turned out to be a great show anyway. We played every instrument through the only PA that the the gym had. Headiest tonality you've ever heard....
I saw them one time doing a warm up show under a fake name before a big tour and they were so nice to everyone it was crazy!! The drummer was sitting at the bar and talked my uncle into going back to AA. He’s been sober ever since! 🫶🏼✊🏻☝🏻🙏🏻
@@gqualls2366 Brodie died, man. There was a freak elephant stampede, absolutely tragic. He had just gotten clean too. RIP BRODIE YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
@@gqualls2366 Dude, our drummer (also Trevor) was going through a super hard time in NA (Narcotics Anonymous) and he met Trevor.... :(. He told us Trevor... :), literally saved his life. He was telling us something about blast beats at the same time, but my Orange OB!-300 with the Fuzz pedal was turned up too loud to hear him.
Been following these guys since the beginning. They used to let me carry their amps from the van. So glad to see them getting the recognition they deserve
I’ve been waiting ages to hear this song!! AiF has been one of my favorite bands for as long as I can remember. Very formative years spent listening to them.
love this band, so glad I got to see them before the pandemic, I'll always remember listening to them last summer in the hot tub with my friends, can't wait to see them again!!!
I miss having a nice, simple plan like hot tubbing and connecting over some good tunes. My friends all moved out of town this year, I’ve been so sad this summer
Caught ‘em by chance on their first UK tour, absolutely blown away by them. The next day I got :( tattooed on my chest. I’ve been waiting for them to release something for it seems like forever. Now we finally have it, and it lives up to their incredible live set. Incredible stuff for ones so young. Looking forward to spending some quality time in frown town :(
Hopefully this August Anthem brings in a new wave of folk that absolutely adore it as much as we all do! August is Falling is the next big thing. May your hearts never be in the lost and found now that we have this 🖤
I can’t believe it’s here! I remember seeing these guys back in ‘18 and it was the best day of my life, so glad they’re back after Trevor’s stint in rehab ❤️
This is crazy... A buddy of mine was huge into these guys back in the late 2000s and he dragged me to a concert of theirs at thd Bug Jar in Rochester, NY. It was a nasty winter night and there were a dozen people who made it out to the show. I never heard AIF before that night and they rocked so fucking hard. One of the dozen people there was the bouncer for the Bug Jar. His name was Gerry Geralds, and he was a staple at these small shows to card everyone and watch the merch tables. The bartenders used to call him Big Tom. No idea why, but if I ever went to a show I'd see Big Tom at the door to card us. Dude was drenched in sweat and after the show, he immediately went up to AIF and wanted to be their roadie. The next time I went to a show to see Joywave at the Bug Jar, there was a new bouncer. It wasn't Big Tom Gerry Geralds. I guess he really did leave with AIF and got to tour around with them. It was really cool to see BTGG tributed in this video. I'm sure he meant a lot to the band because he meant so much to everyone else who knew him.
This song truly is kryptonite against hard times. I've been listening to the demo version all summer long during a lengthy, stressful business trip near Beverly Hills. Soon I'll be taking the train (or maybe fly away) back home. Can't wait to see you again, Dani Kelly... ❤️
Saw these guys at a house show in Anaheim a few years back. Blew everyone away, and the guitarist even gave me a copy of an old demo EP! Been a fan ever since.
This is the official end of summer anthem! Proudly wearing my August is Falling tee today. So excited to see one of my favorite bands absolutely kill it!
Probably my favorite band of all time just slightly ahead of Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, and the Jackson 5. Got me through some tough stuff in my life. I used to be impotent for years until I discovered their music… August Is Falling is boner medicine for the body and soul!!!
That explains why it’s so over-produced. Seriously, gag me with a spoon. I swear to god, I’m going to think about suicide and being sad twice as much if this band sells out.
I met Butch years ago in Atlanta when he was with Floyd’s Funk Revival and knew that he was going to become the powerhouse of a producer that he is today. So excited to see him working with this band and that they are finally getting noticed.
we’re so excited to finally share the new single with all of you and hope you love it as much as we love you. 🖤🖤🖤
Trevor : (
You're my inspiration!!!
i love you trevor!
This first track rules, Trev!
Edit: I said this elsewhere, but I’d love nothing more than the Simple Plan EP on wax! No colors except white or black vinyl.
We love you Trevor
We were stoked when you debuted this song with us on tour in Boise last August. Holy crap it's good. Sad you beat us to the punch as we have a new single coming out soon too. Rock on dudes!
my favorite part of august is falling is that their drummer always sounds like he's wearing shorts, not wearing a shirt, but still wearing shoes
That’s something only a GREAT engineer can get
Adds so much to the sound 🙏
So pumped these guys are finally putting their stuff on TH-cam, and that they’ve made it so far without selling out to a major label.
Ikr my brother went to high school with the lead singer apparently he always was deadset on going big on his own terms… so punk!
IKR why did they really wait so long?? More, please, AIF!
So true!!
We need more AiF NOW! Best of all time!
Yeah the majors are sleeping on AiF!!! If they were smart they’d sign them up immediately before someone else does!!!
It rips harder than 3 Blind Mice
Agree but #3BM is a good band too
Honestly, kinda like it better than church bells
What you did there, I sees it.
Dood! Three Bloind Moice! I had that song stuck inside Moiyeaad.
BREWSTEW WATCHE-
shit i almost said to much
Who's listening to AiF in 2024? :( the epicenter of revival of the sound that got me through high school :( 🖤🖤🖤
I love the youthful energy of this band. This just isn't music that you can make in your 40s.
💯 agree! Us oldheads could really learn a musical thing or two from August.
@@canwill29 dude they werent as good as the early November
They just don’t get it. This music is by the youth for the youth.
This one wins.
As a middle aged balding man, I find the composition hard to relate to.
Signed my divorce papers today and this song hit me so hard. Sometimes the world just finds you the right song at the exact right moment. Great song guys. Looking forward for more.
Sometimes it hits you right in the feels!
Sorry to hear about your divorce, bro.
Wow I guess your heart really is in the lost and found, huh?
Your problems
Your problems
Your problems
Your pain
@@MarcosElMalo2 Well played sir.
These guys are so underrated! Would love to see Rick Beato do a “What Makes This Song Great” for this track.
Yesyesyesyes…this needs to be Beato’ed!
Amen
How could he not do a “What makes this song great”. Admittedly he’d have to do it on two part because there is some much to unpack.
AiF are notorious for copyright strikes. They're really protective of their legacy
Beato.
There was a time in my life when I didn't know who I was or what I wanted to do. I found meaning in August is Falling and I have them to thank for everything I've accomplished. So happy to see them hit the big time and spread their joy to countless others on TH-cam. Falling Fam 4ever!!
Now everything is falling down : (
Dead Meat! I love your kill count videos, i knew you were good people if you like AIF
Wow, its awesome to see you here listening to AIF! I love your channel, and it means so much to see you supporting such an incredible band.
knowing that my favorite TH-camr listens to my favorite band is one of the coolest feelings ever
Dead Meat x AIF is insane
I used to play AiF to my oranda, Tarik. We would revel within the timbre of the gut-wrenching guitar while taking refuge in the ever-so-human lyrics. “I’m so mad this summer. I’m so sad this summer”, lines that transcend societal barriers and connect us to our most primal being. Five months ago, we lost Tarik. Whether it’s nostalgia or the simple desire to feel anything other than suffering, I find myself constantly coming back to the music of AiF. It’s the only thing that makes me human anymore.
Rest In Peace Tarik. May the gales of August guide you to eternal happiness.
January 23, 2022 - March 4, 2022
RIP Tarik : (
We’ll remember Tarik better than that oranda would ever remember us.
: (
RIP Tarik
At least you’ll always have AiF!
Hands up if you’re still here in 2024! 🙌 I can’t believe Beato hasn’t interviewed these legends of the pop punk scene yet.
It's so funny to hear the kids discovering AiF like they're some overnight success, when I literally haven't shut up about them for years. When I worked at Boston Market back in the day, I used to drag my buddies there to AiF shows every time they came through town. These guys have paid their dues, and it shows.
When I worked at Blinds to Go we used to blast their music all the time. I actually was fired for it.

If you're still listening to AiF in 2023, you are legend!
2024!
This shit it timeless
This was my brother's favorite band. Unfortunately he lost his hearing before the official release came out. Now I have to turn the bass up high so he can feel the vibrations. Seeing him come to life a bit more when I play this single means the world to me.
God damn you Bruce Klist, you'll pay for what you did to his hearing
You inspire me to be the best brother, father, and friend. The world would be a better place if there were more people like you in it ❤️
Tell your brother hi from me.
I echo that last reply. What a guy! #AiF
Tell your brother we are all hear for him. AiF for life.
Same thing happened to my brother too. The weird thing is when listening to the bass player’s brother’s band Electric Firefly his hearing came back. I think it was on the song “The Influencer”.
I was sitting in my hot tub, enjoying the bubbles, when my wife's kid started playing this song on his step sister's Bose Wave IV. Took me right back to the summer of '98. Back when me and my best friend Marty would hop into my Uncle Jeff's Cavalier, throw on MXPX, and rip on over to Swiss Chalet to split half a bird. 3 years away from graduation and a full 8 years from the Bose Wave II, we were high on life and ready for whatever. Magic.
Hot tubs are great. One time I was at a hotel and stayed in the hot tub for 6 hours. All of my body hair fell out. It was epic. Much love to AIF.
I feel exactly the same way. AiF is awesome AF.
I thought maybe you were talking about the independent mildly famous Swiss Chalet in my hometown, but I see now that it is Canada's Boston Market.
Reminds me of the bass player’s brothers band called Electric Firefly. They just dropped “Tap or Swipe” which is a throwback.
As the recipient of a heart transplant, the lyrics "Now my heart's in the lost and found." really speak to me. I made sure my donor heart came from a true, dyed-in-the-wool August is Falling fan, and requested that the surgeon listen to this EP when he performed the surgery.
This song LITERALLY saved my life!
That's so messed up they put used hearts in the lost and found. The way the world is these days just makes me cry. They could at least feed them to endangered animals or something???
I had heart surgery (when I was a baby) but I agree this hits different 🫀 love AIF
You’re such an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️
@VoxChordis you are a real hero. You have inspired me the practice this song on my acoustic
#WeRTheLostAndFound #Fallers #AiF 🖤🖤🖤
This band saved my life. No literally, they actually saved my life. I was at one of their shows and all of a sudden, due to lead poisoning from my inner ear piercing. I started having a seizure of some kind and lost consciousness soon after. When I came to, I saw their lead singer standing over me, cradling me in his arms. That's when I knew this band was something special.
any responsible doctor will tell you that angsty teen emo pop is the only known cure for sudden in concert onset lead poisoning. spread awareness people.
Shoutouts to everyone who has been with this band since the beginning, and everyone who is just discovering them as they hit the mainstream. August is Falling now and forever!
Imagine dragons better🤡
Love this AiF Love!! Blessings my fellow Faller
Oh goodness! This is so good. How come I have never heard of these guys!?
@@jurassicrark2552 thunder by imagine dragons better
No. Eff the noobs. They’re ruining it for us old timers. It looks like I’ll have to stop saying in a condescending tone, “but you probably never heard of them”. Our only fallback will be “I was into them before they got popular”.
You have no idea how disappointing it is that the originators of bathtub rock are becoming watered down hot tub Muzak. I hope you all get yeast infections.
I actually had a "Bowling Industry Management" class in college with this band's drummer (I think his mom was a higher up at a pretty large bowling shoe company) and I could always tell his passion wasn't for the "Balls and Pins" but for "Sticks and Skins". Really glad these guys are starting to get the recognition they truly deserve.
Damn! Met the drummer after a show...he sort of told me the same thing...his mom used to call him Mr. 300 😆
Did you get to the chapter on Bowling for Soup?
I shared part of my experience with AiF in a different comment. The coolest thing about seeing them at the Fireside in Chicago that I forgot to mention was the whole band bowling like the rest of us before the show!
Oh wow, that must be why they always wear the neon bowling shirts for the meet and greets!
It sounds like he wears shorts by your comment.
This song pretty much changed my life man... I remember passing out behind an Arby's after drinking way too much and eating a few pounds worth of philly cheesesteaks. When I came to, I heard these guys playing across the street in an abandoned auto dealership. No price for admission except for a broken heart and a home at rock bottom. These guys are the real deal. 🖤
I think I was there. In Jackson Mississippi, I was working second shift building facilities tech, and would spend all my day replacing lightbulbs in different offices and stores. I remember pulling up in that beato-up ford baker van they gave me (that thing did even have an AUX jack) to replace fluorescent tubs at this dealer ship, the place was abandoned, half of the windows broken, and in the middle of the half darken show room these kids, playing their hearts away.
That changed me forever. I immediately quit my job to pursue my dream of becoming a civil engineer to build sad but beautiful bridges for public transport to reach everyone.
Thank you AiF. :(
:(
Exactly the same thing happened to me but it was behind Dunkin' Donuts. Since that day I've been perfectly sober and 100 'nut free. Safe to say this band Changed My Life.
Check out Electric Firefly if you like this. Their album “Tap or Swipe” has the bass player’s bro in it. Sick!
Even though I've admittedly outgrown AiF a bit, they will always have a special place in my heart. Hard to imagine what the genre would be like today without their influence.
In the early 2000s, I couldn't get enough of these guys!
"Now my heart's in the lost in found"
Nobody writes lyrics this deep anymore, AIF are lyrical geniuses
I'm so grateful that Trevor and co bare their souls like they do.
@@padsrambler it's even better live. for one - they sound a lot heavier. and the live show is just something else
Bro we’ve all had our hearts in the lost an found at some point.
This band saved my life. Got me through some unspeakably dark times. I hope I’m able to see this song live someday. Come to Seattle!
It’s so awesome reading about how many lives this band has touched. Music is so powerful!
Omg me too!
I love everything this band does! : (
I was literally pronounced dead in the back of an ambulance after being shot by this guy who went by the Beato Bandit. They never caught him. But I heard an August is Falling song being blasted by a car stereo behind the ambulance and I woke up because I loved that song. I realized I wasn't ready to die. August is Falling literally saved my life!
@@gregjustlovesyoutubeguidelines HOLY SHIT that was me I kid you not. My wife was in labour and I didn't know which way the hospital was so I followed your ambulance. She gave birth in the car while this song was blasting and now it's one of our favourites! AiF
Message to future generations:
Don’t let August is Falling’s music die.
:(
This band sux. I don't know what is wrong with everyone. Their lyrics are reductive.
Lol. It's pretty clear this music will be forgotten in less than a generation. None of the beauty of truly timeless music like the Beatols and the Rolling Stones
the day AiF dies, is the day emo dies.
I've only heard this one song so far but this is super generic and forgettable.
Who else is still loving this tune in 2024! All year is falling!
My girl decided to leave me last week, on our five year anniversary. In a way, my august just fell. Can't believe I found such a relatable song, you guys are really helping me to get back on track. Look forward for more, pop punk is finally hitting the new gold age
wow man, that’s hardcore. let’s just take a moment to refocus on something remarkable - the power of the universal language that music is and how it’s able to cure any void in a human if it’s composed with such a generous amount of talent of the artist that’s behind it. stay true to the vector of AIF and you’ll be fine by the end of this week, brother - this band is literally one big entity of healing monks for the headphones of this world.
It will get better. She didn’t deserve you. You should cover up the tattoo of her name with an August is falling sad face
: (
Bro, you will be better off. Relationships typically decline after the first 6-12 months. You got the best out of it you would ever get. She is now 5 years older and someone else's problem. Once you get past the feelings you will realize you won. Most importantly don't be a fool and take her back once she finds out the grass wasn't greener elsewhere.
@@misterm5325 couldn’t say better myself
Such an underrated band. Don't know why more people haven't heard of 'em.
That's because we Fallers like bands that most people have never heard of #WeRTheLostAndFound #Fallers #AiF 🖤🖤🖤
Great. The best kept secret is no longer. What next? Governments admitting that they're in on the Global Earth Hoax. Slippery slope. Slippery slope.
I’ve been a fan since day one. No bandwagon here!
You know the agents and labels try to drain all the soul out of any band with a voice. AiF is too punk to sell out, so they had to make it hear the hard way.
Because their CDs were in the lost and found.
This band basically saved my life - I was 17, addicted to smash mouth, and had no direction. Then, one of my friends showed me a bootleg of their 2016 concert at Jittery Joe's and I realised what *real* music could be. Since then, I've gotten my act together, and to see Trevor and the boys back at it again with this absolute stunner is all I could ask for.
True story: we were doing a cover of 'I'm so Sad this Summer' at our local open mic when we realized Guy on the Left was there in the audience. He talked with us afterwards. Totally down to earth and humble. Signed my guitar. One of the best days of my life.
I’m 16 again, and it’s summer. My girlfriend just broke my heart, life at home sucks, but you know what? That’s okay. Cuz AIF has a new album out, I stole a six-pack of beer from my stepdad, and I’ve got my whole life ahead of me. This band didn’t just change my life, this band WAS my life. Glad to hear they’re still out there rocking out. Hope to catch ‘em live, might even bring a warm six-pack for old time’s sake. Cheers.
As long as you don't drink a bunch of liquor and wake up in jail
Trevor is the sickest bassist ever! Loved this band since they were locals, even better live! : (
: (
So true!!
He's like a hybrid of Sid vicious an mike dirnt ❤️
You’re so lucky! I’ve never been to a show. Hope they come to Tampa
Yoooo dude Trevor fucked my girlfriend on tour when AIF came through Salt Lake City in 2017. Best night ever.. My girlfriend was so stoked dude, will never forget it
AiF literally saved my life. I was in the hospital nearly on my deathbed from a flesh eating bacteria I contracted from an ill maintained hot tub. Their music kept me going and gave me back the will to live even after losing 35% of my outer skin layer. However, their older stuff was raw and more authentic. AiF for life tho.
I would give 36% of my skin just to make eye contact with Trevor once. But I'm always just the guy on the left. 🖤🖤🖤
@@sammurphy5680 I 👏 am 👏 living👏 for 👏 Trevor! He can write it better than I ever felt it. 😭
Jason I'm so happy you're still with us :( Necrotizing fasciitis is no laughing matter. I think that something that taxing and terrifying really showz that being real and focusing on living in the moment is really what makes us truly clean and pure. I hope you got a new hot tube and thickened ur dermal layers such that thermoclines are no longer an issue. -Peace & love, RCB3
Hot tub injuries are the worst
@@PannaceaQQ I really couldn't believe it betrayed me like that. It was just a simple plan to enjoy a nice soft boil.
I have loved this band for so long now. I had a home birth and was playing this song while my baby August was born. We were all crying. It was an amazing moment.
Did you give birth on top of a slide?
You know.. because August is falling.
(i'm so sorry)
holy fuck, listened to this song when my baby was being born too. it was magic
Your comment made me tear up
It was a beautiful moment.
I was in a coma for seven years after an unfortunate skydiving accident. My family were by my side reading and talking to me everyday. It wasn't until they finally played some of my favourite band (AiF) to me that I finally woke up to crank the volume up. Thank you for everything you've done! I'm so happy you're putting out new music ☺️
Epic. Amazing what a song can do. So glad you recovered.
truly a harrowing tale. only AiF's music could be powerful enough to save comatose skydivers 😭
Wow...glad you are feeling better...
Serena, your family may have mentioned a mysterious guy who showed up every day while you were in a coma. That was me. I was in the plane with you right before you jumped. They were playing AiF and we promised each other we'd go to a Border's listening station and share our favorite band together. We never made it to Border's. And Border's never made it out of Chapter 11.
prayers up fam, so glad you're okay now!
I remember my big brother sneaking me into one of their shows when I was 13, way to young to be at the gig. Watching them play was the lightbulb moment, said to myself that’s what I want to do!! Begged my mum for a bass for my 14th birthday, like a total legend she got it for me. Through music I’ve made the greatest friends anyone could ask for, met my amazing wife, moved to NZ to be with her. I’ve reflected on this many times and I’ve told her if it wasn’t for that gig, I wouldn’t be sitting here now, we wouldn’t have had our amazing kids. I owe everything I have to AIF and that gig, I’m so glad I finally get to share them with her. If she’s not into it, I’m leaving her
Saw these guys supporting Tortured Agony a couple years back, and I can't stress enough how impressed I am with where they are now! Keep fallin' guys!🎸🕺💃🎸🗿
and they keep getting better and better over the years!
Toured Agony RIPS. One of the best bands of all time
I only came for dead man trail but AIF really caught me off guard. Huge fan now
With a name like Tortured Agony you just know that shit SLAPS
Heck yes! ✊🏻
These guys are the hot tub of emo bands 🤘🏼
This song got me through lockdown. After hearing them play at a random Denny’s in Minnesota at 2 AM, I could not get their set out of my head. When I hit rock bottom mid lockdown, these lyrics kept me going. Greatest band of all time.
Moons over my hammy!
Best show they ever did
What the fuck is up Denny's
I first heard these guys walking past my daughter’s room. I stopped and poked my head in and told her how good they sound. That’s the first time in a long while that we connected. Thank you August.
Thank you for sharing, Karl. AiF taught me that it isn't always easy to be vulnerable but it IS okay to be vulnerable. Your words echoed with me, too. I hope you continue to connect with your daughter. AiF 4always.
Reminds me of the bass player’s brothers band called Electric Firefly. They just dropped “Tap or Swipe” which is a throwback.
I always play this song and "Wake me up when September Ends" back to back. It's an oasis of joy in my otherwise miserable life...
Hopefully soon I won’t have to explain my “August is Falling” tattoo when random strangers point at my neck and ask “what does that mean?” They’ll just know, and the world will be a better place for it. It’s impossible to thank you enough, Trevor. You’ve truly changed my life. Long live AiF!
:(
das hier ist ein deutscher kommentar, wurst, käse.
ich habe mir in die hose geschissen. ich bitte um hilfe.
ich hoffe, dass der übersetzer das hier sinnvoll übersetzt hat. cheers, du verfickte bitch
Ah man! I was at the show when the singer broke down crying after this song, took him like 10 mins to recover. Such a great band! Great to finally hear studio versions.
I heard about this show, a true legend that he pushed through and finished the set
I find myself thinking about that moment several times a day. So human. So, so human.
I’m with you. I saw them in Albany a few years back and Trevor could barely get through “Teardrops in my Journal”. I’ve never seen someone cry so much on stage. So vulnerable. 😭
I remember seeing these guys perform when hardly anyone knew about them. Then came the pandemic, and I fell into a really dark place for obvious reasons. I honestly don't know where I'd be without these lyrics. Thank you August is Falling for literally saving my life.
You sound like a poser. I was into this band way before you were. Way into them. Way. I was way more sad than you were and I thought about suicide way more than you did. You new fans are ruining it for us way older fans.
This one song called “Cries of a Teenage Heart” by Electric Firefly did it for me too.
They waited until August was literally FALLING OFF THE CALENDAR to release this. My mind is blown - these guys are so inspiring.
August is Falling played a memorial concert at my high school after our marching band drum major died in a car accident. I'll never forget the speech the lead singer gave to the crowd before he dropped this banger. They even went to the Dairy Queen all the students go to after school and got dipped cones just like us! They are on their way to being music superstars but still made time for their fans. Best band ever!!!
Poppin' cones. All right. 👍
These guys got me through a particularly bad case of testicular torsion. I'll always love them for that.
Sounds like a twisted situation. Glad you had AiF.
Amen brother, I dealt with that too, but AiF got me through the twist in my testes by twisting on my heart.
Testicular Male Pattern Baldness runs in my family, too. Thank god I’m adopted.
f
These guys seriously got me through the pandemic. I’ll never forget the hours I spent in the hot tub during lockdown, listening to the album on repeat.
Right in the feels.
🖤🥰
One day I’ll have that hot tub money
I really didn’t think they could match the energy of their live performances but there it is! Glad they hit the studio!!!
It's the Butch Walker production! He did Fall Out Boy aswell!
Tom L is right. AiF is the real deal! Do yourself a favor and see them live!
@@sackgesicht4371 What?! That’s amazing!!!!!!!!!!
This is some hot stuff
What they did for the scene cannot be overstated
Holy shit these guys are on youtube now? That's crazy, AiF has felt like a secret club for so long I don't know about throwing the gates open and inviting the whole world in :/ at least they picked the best song on the EP to do this for I guess... this is seriously crazy, I feel like the whole world just got invited into my house on a Saturday night
Absolutely blasted these guys in my 2002 camry after my custody hearing. AIF has gotten me through so much over the years.
Reminds me of the bass player’s brothers band called Electric Firefly. They just dropped “Tap or Swipe” which is a throwback.
I’ve been wearing out the demos of this song for so long, to see it finally get the production and mix that it deserves… breathe taking. The band has never sounded better!!!
I can’t wait to listen to this later when I’m alone. I would crank it loud enough for everyone to hear but I don’t want them to see me cry.
Listen to it in the shower then no one can tell you’re crying : (
Dude, this takes me back. Met my wife at an AiF show. So glad they are finally getting the exposure they've always lacked. Should have been on the Warped Tour, no doubt. :(
This band is so amazing they helped me get through one of the worst times of my life. In August of2019 I had to battle several medical issues, a death in the family and a broken relationship. During that time in my life August was truly falling for me
Man this really brings back the memories. The good times, the hard times, all of it. August is falling feels like the sound track to my life
same bro
The sound of my childhood. Glad to see the guys patched things up with Butch Walker, this sounds amazing.
Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2023?
Maybe the only fanbase in history that gets genuinely more excited when their favorite indie band blows up. What a fantastic community AiF fans are.
:(
We need a fandom name, like "The Fallen" or "Augustinians."
@@Blodhelm frownies
It’s finally here. I’m so excited for this EP rollout. August is Falling is BACK!!!
They are back!!!’
: (
I know it's a bit of a cliché at this point, but this band genuinely saved my life. I don't know where I'd be today without AIF. I remember the good days in Xbox Live Parties, blasting AIF through my mic. SO happy to see some new content!
They literally saved my life once. I was in a hit and run accident when I was riding my bike. Their little tour bus (if you could even call it that lol) saw the whole thing happen, and without hesitation they got me out of the ditch and started doing CPR until an ambulance could get there. They even got the tag number of the drunk guy who hit me! That guy is still in prison because he was out on parole. I literally wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for AiF!!!
Can't believe they still haven't won a Grammy. With Chord progressions that would make Beato weep and the Hoppus Bass rumbling the soul. It's all there. I'm August forever! They deserve to fly so high, just like a dragonfly....... or whatever else can fly so high. Perhaps "August is Flying" could be their sophomore triumph.
AiF is one of the bands that made me want to pick up a guitar. I've had all of their bootlegs for years! So stoked to finally get a high quality version on TH-cam! This song slaps so hard.
Finally these guys are getting the recognition they deserve
@@mj_dj But at what cost? You don’t think this sounds over-produced? The rough around the edges sound of their shows and the demo tapes was kind of their hallmark. They’ve had opportunities to sell out and they used to thumb their noses at mainstream success and the record label guys with their hot tub parties in the Hollywood Hills.
Anyway, I used to be really into AIF but I kind of grew out of them. Back in the day I wrote and published a AIF ‘Zine called Murder Is Sad? Maybe you saw it? It was supposed to be about the local punk scene, but I got pretty obsessed with the band. I was proud that I was into them before everybody else.
I was so damn proud when I heard they told Edgar Wright to GTFO. Did you know that Scott Pilgrim is basically based on AIF? That film is a travesty without the band, and I’m so glad they refused to participate or cooperate with Wright. Of course, he made the movie anyway and didn’t give the band any credit.
In a way, I feel very protective about AIF. I don’t want them to be popular. Their music is special and it’s not meant for everyone. Especially newer fans. Ugh, I hate new fans. New fans just don’t get August Is Falling and what they mean to me personally.
@@MarcosElMalo2 I think I caught some copies of Murder Is Sad? back when I still frequented all the boards, I thought you guys really had something going there and turned me on to a lot of good stuff I wouldn't have heard otherwise!
And I agree, they do sound more polished and "main-stream" (ugh) than they did back way back when, but I'm holding out hope that this song is just an outlier because it's the lead single (produced by some big shot producer who probably charged an arm and a leg for it) and the rest of the EP will be much rougher and more personal just like the old stuff.
Also, they were right to show Wright the door, Baby Driver was a stinker and not a little one.
@@mj_dj I know, right? We original Fallers need to stick together. DOWN WITH FALLERS!!
Im 37 years old. Pop punk was a big part of my life when I was younger. Recently my nephews have been getting into this pop punk revival, which overall is cool but I try and explain that the old stuff is better than MGK and they should listen to some of that too.
Long story short, yesterday they were playing this song and I just assumed that this was some track that I'd missed years ago, because it was like instant nostalgia. They were so happy to prove me wrong. I guess this new generation is gonna be fine. So now I've got a new band to check out. Thanks AiF, and keep on rocking.
Reminds me of the bass player’s brothers band called Electric Firefly. They just dropped “Tap or Swipe” which is a throwback.
This is by FAR the best up-and-coming pop punk band I’ve heard in years. They just simply blow the competition out of the water, glad they’re finally releasing their music
This song and August is Falling in general gave me the confidence to not self harm anymore.
Im so mad this summer.... Even on a Saturday night
Remember seeing these guys before the pandemic. Without their music, I’m not sure how I would’ve survived the rona. Mad props to AIF!! 🖤🖤🖤
These guys crashed at our punk pad last tour. Super cool dudes, they even treated everybody to Dunkin the next morning.
That’s so rad. Is Trevor really that cool in person? Some said it’s an act, but I think they’re just haters who want to gatekeep.
That's so cool. Wish I was there!
I remember seeing these guys back in 2009 at Cafe Metro in Wilkes Barre, PA with Bob and The Sagets and Tiger's Jaw. Since then their music has saved my life when everything went downhill for me, August Is Falling has always been their for me and I can't wait to see what new things they have instore for us!
great show! remember it well.
I was there for the Sagets but AIF just totally blew them away. Amazing show
No way! Tigers Jaw and AiF are two of my favorite bands. Wish I could have been there : (
@@gemmaeleri I will try to book them for you
We’ve all come so far
Listening to august is falling during the last week of august always hits different
Holy shit, I never thought I'd see the return of AIF. I'm honestly crying tears of joy. After everything they've been through, I really thought no band could ever come back from that. That they've always shown such unassailable tenacity and resilience is undeniable proof of why so many people have found solace in their music. AIF is for the people! Welcome back, we need you now more than ever.
The calendar month “August” will now legally be changed to “August is Falling” to respect these icons and everything they’ve done for the scene. Congrats guys. You deserve it.
You guy rock!!!! Can’t wait to see you all live again!!🫶🏼
Only just discovered these, where have I been? My mind is blown need more stuff, they are getting me through some tough times.
I’m so stoked to have finally caught a band BEFORE they blew up. They’re unbelievable.
We opened for these dudes when they came through Denver in 2019. Not only do they kick ass live, but are also genuinely the nicest dudes. Always great to see other indie artists getting the respect they deserve. Hope we get a chance to play with y'all again!
Denver! I remember seeing these guys at The Wasteland (RIP) back in the day. Awesome to see them finally getting some love on TH-cam.
I was at that gig. Man your band sucked. What were you thinking with a banjo solo in an emo song???
Hey I was at that show! I doubt Trevor remembers meeting me, but it was an awesome night! You guys were pretty good too!
@@ibanez3434 Don't be so sure. I've heard stories about Trev remembering people he only ever met at shows years earlier. He's just cool like that.
@@benjaminolson7206 I hope so! We didn't talk long but they all seemed super down to earth
I have fond memories driving around my hometown late a night, windows down, August Is Falling blasting on the CD player, and flipping the bird to anyone we saw walking down the street. AIF was my soundtrack to feeling young and reckless. I cried when I saw them play at my VFW hall. I put one of their stickers on my wallet, showed it to their bass player and said they should start selling wallets. When I saw them a year later - they started selling wallets! And they gave me one for free!!! Will love these guys until the day I die.
I bought one of those wallets!!
I love my AiF wallet.
: (
Loved this band so much in high school. Still bummed I never got to watch them play Warped Tour.
I honestly get emotional when seeing that August is Falling is finally releasing new content. AIF got me through so many difficult times, whether it's my parents divorce, COVID-19, or whatever. This is gonna be so sick
My dog buddy just passed away from his seven year battle with prostate cancer. I brought him to the vet this morning and I kept telling him to hold on just a little longer so we could listen to AiF new single. He passed at 11:59am and I was just devastated we couldn’t mosh together one last time to our favorite band and I was so devastated I decided to kill myself. As I was drawing a hot bath I figured I’d give it a listen just in memory of buddy and the video was so amazing it gave me something to live for!!! AiF is god!!!
Hang in there dude. I think they are bringin' it big time!
I've listened to King Crimson, Bach, Stravinsky, Miles Davis, Radiohead, The Beatles, Kendrick Lamar, MF DOOM, Jeff Buckley, Kate Bush, Björk, Immortal Onion, and LosPetitFellas, but none of them can come close in musical quality and feeling to August Is Falling, listening to them for the first time was like a spiritual awakening for me, I was literally reborn from the ashes of my apathetic life, I love you guys.
For real. How long before McCartney comes begging to feature on a track!
Dude, I remember hanging out with these guys backstage when I used to play with Day of Our Dying Death (DOODD) . We played at Pascack Valley High School auditorium, they opened up for Scary Kids Scaring Kids. Trevor is such a sick guitar player and lyricist. Trevor... :( so great to see you back on the road.
Maybe someday we can make a DOODD X AiF collab.
Trevor, you definitely remember me, I was the guy with the 7-string bass tuned to drop-C. Me and my bandmates also had a watergun fight backstage that left a lot of bands unable to use their equipment. I remember Trevor reaching our to the local Episcopalian church for their organ to use for the show instead of their Rhodes that we accidentally broke (Sorry Trevor.... :( )
Turned out to be a great show anyway. We played every instrument through the only PA that the the gym had. Headiest tonality you've ever heard....
I saw them one time doing a warm up show under a fake name before a big tour and they were so nice to everyone it was crazy!! The drummer was sitting at the bar and talked my uncle into going back to AA. He’s been sober ever since! 🫶🏼✊🏻☝🏻🙏🏻

@@gqualls2366 Dude, our drummer (also Trevor) was going through a super hard time in NA (Narcotics Anonymous) and he met Trevor.... :(. He told us Trevor... :), literally saved his life.

I know its been a year, but I still come back to this when my life is in shambles. Gives me something to cling on to
Been following these guys since the beginning. They used to let me carry their amps from the van. So glad to see them getting the recognition they deserve
I’ve been waiting ages to hear this song!! AiF has been one of my favorite bands for as long as I can remember. Very formative years spent listening to them.
This band got me through some tough times, I'm glad to see they're doing well!
We need them to perform at the next Sad Summer Festival. Their music is too good!
Gut gesprochen, kumpel
love this band, so glad I got to see them before the pandemic, I'll always remember listening to them last summer in the hot tub with my friends, can't wait to see them again!!!
I miss having a nice, simple plan like hot tubbing and connecting over some good tunes. My friends all moved out of town this year, I’ve been so sad this summer
Preach dude. Reminds me of the “before times”. With this song finally coming out it feels like nature is healing.
Caught ‘em by chance on their first UK tour, absolutely blown away by them. The next day I got :( tattooed on my chest. I’ve been waiting for them to release something for it seems like forever. Now we finally have it, and it lives up to their incredible live set. Incredible stuff for ones so young. Looking forward to spending some quality time in frown town :(
Belfast by chance? That was the 2nd craziest show I've been to.
Yeah, that gig was sick!
@@joewilcox4995 No, London - but I heard about Belfast. Wish I could’ve been there :(
Man, I still have flashbacks to that Belfast gig.
I'm guessing none of you saw them play Cardiff? That was an absolutely legendary show! I really can't wait for them to come back!
Hopefully this August Anthem brings in a new wave of folk that absolutely adore it as much as we all do! August is Falling is the next big thing. May your hearts never be in the lost and found now that we have this 🖤
We can't just keep them to ourselves - the world needs to know.
The guy on the left is tho most talented musician in the band IMO.
I can’t believe it’s here! I remember seeing these guys back in ‘18 and it was the best day of my life, so glad they’re back after Trevor’s stint in rehab ❤️
They suck without John. Can't believe they kicked him out over "confessing to 12 counts of 1st degree vehicular homicide"
I think the song “Ode to John” by Electric Firefly is about that.
This is crazy... A buddy of mine was huge into these guys back in the late 2000s and he dragged me to a concert of theirs at thd Bug Jar in Rochester, NY. It was a nasty winter night and there were a dozen people who made it out to the show. I never heard AIF before that night and they rocked so fucking hard.
One of the dozen people there was the bouncer for the Bug Jar. His name was Gerry Geralds, and he was a staple at these small shows to card everyone and watch the merch tables. The bartenders used to call him Big Tom. No idea why, but if I ever went to a show I'd see Big Tom at the door to card us. Dude was drenched in sweat and after the show, he immediately went up to AIF and wanted to be their roadie. The next time I went to a show to see Joywave at the Bug Jar, there was a new bouncer. It wasn't Big Tom Gerry Geralds. I guess he really did leave with AIF and got to tour around with them. It was really cool to see BTGG tributed in this video. I'm sure he meant a lot to the band because he meant so much to everyone else who knew him.
One of the most legit pop-punk acts out there right now, these guys kill it every time
Estou num momento muito triste na minha vida e essa música está me ajudando muito. Muito obrigada August is Falling 🙏🏻❤️🇧🇷 come to Brasil
This song truly is kryptonite against hard times. I've been listening to the demo version all summer long during a lengthy, stressful business trip near Beverly Hills. Soon I'll be taking the train (or maybe fly away) back home. Can't wait to see you again, Dani Kelly... ❤️
**golf clap**. well played, good sir.
This is honestly my favorite band of all time. Their 2019 Japan tour was magical, I’m glad they’re finally officially releasing their music.
Yes! I saw them in 2019 too on the last ever Warped Tour :( rip
@@davidbarrett4586 I missed that one because of a broken shoelace. 😢
Saw these guys at a house show in Anaheim a few years back. Blew everyone away, and the guitarist even gave me a copy of an old demo EP! Been a fan ever since.
I miss August is Falling. Come back! ☹️
This is the official end of summer anthem! Proudly wearing my August is Falling tee today. So excited to see one of my favorite bands absolutely kill it!
@Brad Friday You gotta hit up the merch table at their shows
This is exactly what my end-of-summer needed.
Probably my favorite band of all time just slightly ahead of Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, and the Jackson 5. Got me through some tough stuff in my life. I used to be impotent for years until I discovered their music…
August Is Falling is boner medicine for the body and soul!!!
Another sick Butch Walker project! These folks changed my life back in 2019! It’s so sick to see they’re blowing up! Unbelievable!
Yeah, love the production on this one, Butch is amazing!
That explains why it’s so over-produced. Seriously, gag me with a spoon. I swear to god, I’m going to think about suicide and being sad twice as much if this band sells out.
BUTCH WALKER?! IM IN HEAVEN!
I met Butch years ago in Atlanta when he was with Floyd’s Funk Revival and knew that he was going to become the powerhouse of a producer that he is today. So excited to see him working with this band and that they are finally getting noticed.
