I mean the lyrics to Mr. MTV could be deemed cringe in certain contexts, but they are literally pointing out the absurdity of the celebrity life/status with the track. The lines in the 2nd verse are actually quite poignant: "In my I-life, in my I-world, On my I-phone, with my I-girl, Just one bite to understand, even Eve Couldn't live without the I-plan" That's the Self-obsessive & Technology-reliant aspects of modern celebrity covered in a few lines pretty nicely if you ask me. 🤷♂ Generally their lyric game is quite strong & fairly deep/emotional a lot of the time. They're more of an alt-rock band with some heavier influences though as opposed to some of the heavier stuff you've probably checked out.
He can scream, and please do the song Jenny which is deep in subject matter,it’s about a girl that has drug and mental issues and it’s based on the singer’s sister, it’s one of my favorite songs because I can relate to it because two of my sisters have become drug addicts, one just died a couple years ago and the other me and my mom don’t know where she is most of the time
I was at the live and said I've never heard of this band but it turns I HAVE heard this first song at some point.. It's good overall but as I said in the chat that Im into heavier bands like JINJER GOJIRA and PANTERA but this definitely has a vibe to it..thx for the vid man ✌️🤘
Something I don't think anyone talks about in regards to this video is a potential name meaning in "ballast" Isn't that a kind of water or something you keep on a ship to keep it balanced. A weight that only serves that purpose.
Love these guys, seen them live twice and they are without a doubt one of my favs! I'd recommend some of their new stuff like spirits (best on the newest album in my opinion) or funny little creatures. Awesome vid, earned a new sub my man 👍👍
used to listen to This is the Time on repeat in college. happy you found it. not a huge screamo fan so it hits good for me. for metal, its an 85 rate for me. i hope it makes it to the ipod for some cruising
“Spirits” really shows off his vocal ability. “Don’t Stop” featuring Shaddix and “Turn it up like” are pretty great too, though the latter doesn’t have the best lyrics.
Never heard of these before. Tbh most of my attention went to all that water in the first track lol xD Maby It was better If I didn't see that vid and the sound quality was better. Really gives me 00's rock vibe. Not quite my jam but maby I would have liked it 10 yrs ago 😁
Jenny, God Went North, and Fade In / Fade Out are all loosely related. I warn you to have tissues on hand though. I can't listen to GWN especially without tearing up.
I honestly hadn't heard the second one before so we reacted to it together 🤘. That said yes the lyrics and what not are cringe and cheesy for a reason. Until we wake tf up and get our shit together the same message will be conveyed by different artists in different ways.
change how you look at the lyrics as a criticism of certain parts of the music industry that exist solely to help other products sell. it makes it look less cheesy and more just very sad commentary.

Even if they are alt rock I still love that style and im here for these guys and will most likely do more Reactions to them! Thanks for the Support!
They are a fun band and the energy of live performances is crazy. They don't really do harsh vocals. Fun fact, the vocalist started as the drummer.
Wonder when they found out he could sing haha Thanks for the Support!
It took them like 5 years and 6ish members till he became lead vocals, when Jonny was drumming backstage the whole time. 😂
@@ketanstratton2286 that's actually wild haha Thanks for the Support!

Sorry to hear that brother, hope all is well! Thanks for the Support and comment!
Your heart wants to get a slushee at a good price 🤣🤣
Me too bro

Overall good, but in a basic way haha glad you liked the vibe!

Definitely 1st person too mention it haha thanks for the Support!
Congrats on the 1k, will subscribe for some more NoMo reactions.
Aye Thankyou for the Support! I'll definitely be coming back to them!

They would be a fun band live I bet! Thanks for the Support! And I'll add those songs to the list!
Saw these guys open for breaking benjamin back in like 2017, they were so good
Would have been a blast!
@@DaddyGoose_CB it'd be a blast to go to a show with your crazy ass hahaha

Very good chance this makes it to the ipod! Gunna give it a few more listens though first! Thanks for the Support!

Hearing some ft songs would be really cool! I'll add these to the list! Thanks for the Support!
Don't stop is such a favourite 😍😍
Don't stop is such a favourite 😍😍
These songs are actually from their 2014 self-titled album.
Old but gold then! Thanks for the Support!
Mr. MTV is on the same album as this is the time, I’m not sure if maybe the music video is newer but the song came out in 2014!
Nothing more is in the polls for whats coming up next! Excited to come back to them! Thanks for the Support!

For it only being 3 years old, it totally does give off 2000s vibes haha
Have to do Jenny by them, one of their best songs
I will add it to the list! Thanks for the Support!
@@DaddyGoose_CBif you react to Jenny you should also listen to God Went North back to back. They're loosely related to each other.
@@xXShadDragXx I will keep this in mind! Thanks for the Support!

True, cringe or not still a banger too haha Thanks for the Support! Also shoutout to you for sticking around for the 2nd song amd reacting with me!
@@DaddyGoose_CB Oh yes definitely. NoMo is a good vibe. The pleasure was mine good sir. 🤘🔥🤘❤️🫂
Their song "Fat Kid" is good and "cheesy".
Perfect haha I'll add it to the list! Thanks for the Support!
No clue how he screams so consistently all tour. They're one of the few bands that consistently sounds better live.
His vocal.cords are indestructible haha Thanks for the Support!
'Promo sm' 😜
This the song? I'll add it to the list! Thanks for the Support!
He said big breasts, and now the whole song is cringe ?!?!
Mr.Mtv is still cringe in my opinion. But The band as a whole has some bangers! Thanks for the Support!

How should a look at lyrics? Thanks for the Support!
