Actually quite dig this cover, sounds tight and true to the original. Appreciating the chorus harmonies and that they didn't try to scream 'die young and save yourself'. You can tell the guitar/vocal dude is used to just backing vocals though! Not convincing in Jesse's verse parts haha
Jordan doesn't isn't backing vocals, We Are The In Crowd are a joint vocals band, granted with their newest album (Weird Kids) Tay has taken more of a lead but in general both Tay and Jordan share vocals, especially live.
ah I see! don't really follow this band much so I was just making that assumption, saw a bit of them at Reading fest a few years ago but don't really remember it...
Sing King Karaoke nope, the "Die Young and save yourself" needs to be screamed, prettttty integral to the whole composition of the song. It not being screamed eliminates the roughness of the chorus.
Okay. Guys, guys. If you're going to 'hate' on something can you convert it into constructive criticism? Oh, and please stop using gay as an insult. We all have the right to share our opinion but can we just get along and not insult anyone/anything in the process?
Dude me too "cute with out the e" is to die for yeah their music never gets old I agree tbs made my adolescents that whole era of music was amazing though
I started with TBS a few years ago then got really into BN a bit later on i was too young to know about them when they were all getting started and yeah I don't think I'll ever stop listening to either group helped me through some really tough times. Jesse John and Adam are like my idols lol saw BN back in October for the first time live and tbs for the first time the October before that. I like Thrice a lot too so I feel ya. seems like there arent a lot of new bands doing that kind of music anymore.
Do you like the band "the used" ? senses fail are pretty good one too.... tbs got me through allot of hard times aswell yeah they came out in like 03 or something they been around awhile dude adam lazara is a god I always thought it was weird how john and jesse look so much alike but their not related yeah most new bands just scream not that I don't like screaming bands but be kool to see more artist who just sang aswell
Honestly as a die hard Brand New fan and someone who has never listened to We Are The In Crowd, this cover isn't bad in the slightest. I do miss Jesse's raw, harsh vocals and the screams in the chorus, but the exchange between these two vocalists who compliment each other so well almost makes up for it. The instrumental is very faithful. A very "if it ain't broke don't fix it" approach. This is a great cover and I may listen to more of these guys in the near future.
I generally agree, but it almost comes off as too "faithful" to me. I like their version, but it sounds like a muted rehash of the powerful original. They used the EXACT same breakdown, drum fills, bridges, chords etc. everything. I would have liked these guys to put a little bit of their own spin on it.
They're not trying to top Brand New, this is simply a tribute to music that means something to them. I'm not too big on In Crowd's stuff, it's not at all bad, just doesn't appeal to me. Brand New is something pretty special to me though, and with that being said, this cover is pretty good. These two bands are completely different styles, so it's interesting to hear their take on this song, I definitely like it.
I don't see why people are kicking up a fuss? Its a good cover, they haven't warped it into something it was never meant to be so shush and appreciate the music.
As an early 2000's emo alternative loving high school kid, I applaud you guys for doing a decent cover of one of the many great songs to have come out from that time. I still blast this song on my car radio and I'm 30, now. Great job! Even if I will always love the original, I think you guys did it justice. :)
I just reviewed We Are The In Crowd's new album "Weird Kids". Lot of cool tracks, would love some feedback to hear what everyone else thinks of the record! It's the featured video on my channel
they definitely changed their sound. personally i preferred their previous album but that's just my biased opinion and taste. regardless i still think it's a good album. just wondering when and where "Ready" is coming out. i was so psyched for that song. more like their previous tracks :)
This is a good cover in terms of word structure, but Jesse Lacey's back and forth between his hushed tone and screaming is what puts the emotion in this song, which is lacking in this video. Otherwise, this is a great cover.
Thats the beauty of a cover... It's not a comparison. It's one bands take and rendition of another bands song. They're not supposed to sound similar or be comparable.
Big fan of Brand New; Big fan of We Are The In Crowd. Love the original; really enjoyed the cover. There are different types of covers: Complete re-workings based on the covering artists interpretations, acoustic versions of full band songs, etc, etc, and then there's a band who likes one band just playing that song and giving what they can to it - like this one. It's a different style to WATIC's normal music so it's a change for them. You like it, you hate it. It's irrelevant. They enjoyed it & I enjoyed it.
They did a great job considering Brand New is extremely hard to cover. Jesse Lacey spent years mastering Deja Entendu. You can tell so much effort went into this entire album, and that mixed with the timing of its release created a cult following of loyal Brand New fans that still love them today. The saddest part, in my opinion, is that Brand New never got the credit they deserved for this record....not that they ever wanted it anyway, but my point still holds true. I believe this band's music will be more respected and mimicked as we age and the band grows older...I mean, I never thought I'd hear a cover like this of them. First thing I thought..."Wow, I must be getting old". Then I was overcome with happiness; I was happy because it made me feel like there is a new wave of fans that appreciate Brand New and their epic lyrics, creativeness and talent as much as I always have and still do. ALLZ I'm saynz izzzz I'm sooo excited to see what they come out with for their final studio album! The band said they will definitely be releasing something by the end of 2015. Whether it will be an EP of 7 songs or the traditional LP of 14 songs...who knows? Either way it is going to be EPIC and much needed since it has been 5 years since Daisy released. Brand New fo-life!!
I actually kind of like this. I don't really know this band at all but it's cool to hear how they did this. I love the way her harmony sounds in the chorus.
this is the best thing ever, one of my favorite new bands covering one of my favorite old bands. Cant wait to see you guys sunday. this got me so hype.
Good cover, but it definitely has a much more "tame" feel than the original. If you want to hear a cover that is "rougher" and more in the spirit of the original, check out the version done by Adalie here on UA-cam.
It's strange that in the comments section of each video I can see such a contrast. It might just be that I didn't read enough comments but it seems like on the original, people are generally saying this version is shit and people should stop comparing the two but on this video, I've seen a lot of Brand New fans saying WATIC have done a good job and expressing positive opinions on the cover. Personally I love both versions, but I'm kinda biased towards We Are The In Crowd's version because the band are just more to my preference and they nailed an already good song for me.
The difference you observe is probably related to the dichotomy of two different groups of people. People who would only watch Brand New videos and rip on anything else (and thus only comment within that small circle), vs. people who will watch other videos and expose themselves to other interpretations (and thus actually comment at that location, and outside their narrow circle of comfort). I only came across this because it was linked from the Brand New video of the same song. I'm not an instant fan of this band, WATIC; but they did a good job of the song, in their own style, which is different; but different is not equal to bad. That would be like saying Peter Capaldi is a terrible Doctor because he's totally different than Matt Smith. They are their own interpretations of the same theme. They are different, and tell different stories within the same framework. I'm talking about Brand New vs. WATC, for those with ears to hear.
Troll troll is trolling. Go home tiburcio9999, nobody wants a friend with that attitude. I'm very sorry you feel the need to be such a douche. Hopefully you'll grow up one day.
Mi infanciaaa. Literal a mis 13 años escuchando estás rolas en mi mundo donde era a cierto punto incomprendida en la escuela en casa... Pero esta música nunca me dejó caer. Gracias a todas estas rolas
Overall it was a good cover, considering how hard Brand New is to cover and such. There are a few minor things that could add to the overall original song feel, such as a the verses, where the whispering wasn't as effective sometimes. Then the chorus when they have "to die young and save yourself," Jesse Lacey gives it more of a screaming sound, which gives it a different effect. Also, the bass was not as clean as the original, but you can't blame that on Mike solely. It was a pretty good cover, and it's really acknowledging the impact of Brand New on the music industry, which is always a good thing. One big suggestion I have for if they were to ever do it again would be to give Tay most of the verse except for maybe the "Up the stairs: the station where the act becomes the art of growing up" part and give Jordan most of the chorus, especially the "to die young and save yourself part"
nah just my opinion as a musician for over a decade and in the process of getting a degree in this sort of thing. I absolutely love both versions but this one is simply better conceptually and audibly. Feel free to disagree but saying I snort blocks is almost as dumb and presumptuous as me calling you dumb.
used to hang with these guys and Love, Robot back in the day, would often sit in on their band practices and they were the coolest kids...hard to believe that was about a decade ago
I don't listen to Brand New so I don't know what the original is supposed to sound like, but I like the song and I like Tay and Jordan's vocals. I don't think it's fair to have people saying that they "ruined it" or that no one should cover a certain artist. That's what music is all about, listening, sharing and appreciating. I think We Are The In Crowd were giving it their all and if you don't agree with it and you don't like it, then I don't know, maybe go back to listening to the original?
I think an unfortunate reality is that a lot of Brand New fans are introduced to this song by ignorant We Are The In Crowd fans trying to proclaim it as an improvement over the original, which is patently false and offensive... I don't fault them for covering a terrific track, however the lyrical content makes performing it as a duet[of sorts] with a female vocal kinda nonsensical... I think civil criticism and discussion is healthy here though... Have you checked out the original yet, Lindsay? You simply have to! It's ASTOUNDINGLY SPECTACULAR! :D Brand New can take a few listens for some though... If you're looking for something different to listen to, listening to the first four tracks off Brand New's Deja Entendu[This is the second, TAUTOU the first, and I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light and Okay I Believe You, but My Tommy Gun Don't are #'s 3+4 respectively...] a few times is worthwhile to try and get a feel for where the song originates from... =] It's kinda important to listen to the lyrics and keep an open mind however... and not give the victory to this one for being more "mainstream"... =/ lol :P
PunkRockDependency very rarely do I think the cover is better than the original, and in this case, I don't believe the cover is better. And you're right, the song's lyrics are from a guys perspective therefore the fact it's sang as a duet is kind of dumb. I did check out the original, and I think it's pretty freaking great, I'll definitely be checking out more of Brand New's stuff. Also I don't blame Brand New fans for getting upset at We Are The In Crowd fans for saying that the cover is better, it just didn't settle with me well when they were saying things like "Brand New should never be covered" and "We Are The In Crowd ruined the song for me" when no one was forcing them to listen to the cover and if the song meant something to a fan, nothing another artist did could ever really ruin it for them. I'm glad WATIC covered this though, they introduced me to a band I've never listened to before. Oh and thanks for being civil haha, you seem like a decent person. :)
not a bad cover. i like some of the things u did with it. u toned down the screaming a lot and at first i didn’t like it but after a couple times i thought it was ok. hard to be as good as the original but this was the best i’ve seen online. good job
I love Brand New and I, too, am disappointed in the comments. We are the in crowd did pretty good and honestly, if you had a band that went big and someone out of their garage started singin your song, its the concept of knowing your music did something for somebody. not whether or not they sang it well.
I think a lot of the hostility originates out of the fact this video seems to be kinda spreading into brand new vids with ignorant less than graceful comments about it's supposed superiority... lol... It's unfortunate, however covers on UA-cam kinda tend to generate a lot of this back and fourth... To Brand New fans' credit, I've seen far worse, like when "Panic!" did a live Radiohead cover... That was some vicious criticism.... The main point is to just try and be civil, it performing, releasing, and monetizing[... I think? iunno about that, either way Hopeless uploaded it...] this performance We Are The In Crowd accepts that Brand New fans will pass judgement, and there's nothing wrong with expressing sincere critical assessments... It's unfortunate that there's so much smack talkery on both sides, that leads BN fans to feel they have to enter guns blazing, however really, for UA-cam this is pretty good... Some fairly thought out comments, and even most of the rage comments I read are more simply opinionated than bigoted[ex: No irrelevant homophobia, etc.] compared to a lot of fan feuds[ex: Muse PreTwilight-Supremacists vs Muse Twilight Fans, Blink-182 vs Blink Spawned Projects, Beliebers, various other artists, etc...]... Like the criticism that the lyrics are kinda nonsensical in a duet, especially one with a female vocalist due to the subject matter is a legitimate argument. And it's okay to discuss that, though I agree it's best kept civil... Don't let any of it get to you though! =] Frankly this is pretty good for UA-cam.... Guess Google+ comment evolution is perhaps working somewhat... lol :P
For WATIC fans who haven't heard the original, I would suggest watching the video for the original song. Brand New is an amazing band, and though WATIC did a pretty good job covering a great song, the original holds more emotion and more meaning. After all, Brand New wrote the song from their own life experiences and poured all of their feelings into one track.
Cover songs that are exact duplicates of the original leave a lot to be desired. Mix it up and make it your own. Just my opinion. That snare sounds pretty sweet though
Ashlii Prigmore But im saying, he actually can't scream. He does not have the ability to scream. It doesn't matter if it sounds better or not, he can't do it.
Good job! Kept the bass line intact, and added your own unique embellishments. You've honored one of the best pop-punk songs of my generation. Love it.
Hate to be that guy but, although it's put together well, this cover really has no reason to exist - it's no better or more different than the original.
Well, they actually add some stuff, like the wah wah in the guitar on the verses, and also tays voice sounds really great, also I feel that this drum track is better timed than the original, more like in the style of watic (as a cover should normally be) is in the sound of watic, nice cover anyways
They didn't do anything to make it their own. They tried replicating the original note for note. I never understood the point of that. Jesse Lacey's version is obviously better
That was improbably good. I'm normally not a big fan of We Are the In Crowd, which is to say, I despise most of their work. And when I learned they'd covered a band as good as Brand New, I was all set to hate it. But they actually did a very good job of capturing the intensity of the song. In Brand New's version, Jesse often sang like he didn't really care about the lyrics, and the vocals in the chorus had a very weak feel to it. This version actually fixes both problems, with surprisingly authentic instrumentation. I generally love Brand New and detest We Are the In Crowd, but this was actually significantly better than the original recording.
Actually quite dig this cover, sounds tight and true to the original. Appreciating the chorus harmonies and that they didn't try to scream 'die young and save yourself'. You can tell the guitar/vocal dude is used to just backing vocals though! Not convincing in Jesse's verse parts haha

Sing King Karaoke nope, the "Die Young and save yourself" needs to be screamed, prettttty integral to the whole composition of the song. It not being screamed eliminates the roughness of the chorus.
I agree with you in context of the Brand New version, but do you really think these guys are gonna nail a scream like that? :P
Sing King Karaoke haven't listened to them, but it probably couldn't hurt to try.
Okay. Guys, guys. If you're going to 'hate' on something can you convert it into constructive criticism?
Oh, and please stop using gay as an insult. We all have the right to share our opinion but can we just get along and not insult anyone/anything in the process?
Im just glad bands today appreciate what Brand New was and continues to be which is one of the most important groups of the 2000's
yeah bands like brand new and taking back sunday made a big impact oddly enough the singer from brand new used to be in in taking back sunday
Oh trust me dude I know all the ins and out you won't find a bigger fan of TBS and BN than myself. They made a huge impact on my life.
Dude me too "cute with out the e" is to die for yeah their music never gets old I agree tbs made my adolescents that whole era of music was amazing though
I started with TBS a few years ago then got really into BN a bit later on i was too young to know about them when they were all getting started and yeah I don't think I'll ever stop listening to either group helped me through some really tough times. Jesse John and Adam are like my idols lol saw BN back in October for the first time live and tbs for the first time the October before that. I like Thrice a lot too so I feel ya. seems like there arent a lot of new bands doing that kind of music anymore.
Do you like the band "the used" ? senses fail are pretty good one too.... tbs got me through allot of hard times aswell yeah they came out in like 03 or something they been around awhile dude adam lazara is a god I always thought it was weird how john and jesse look so much alike but their not related yeah most new bands just scream not that I don't like screaming bands but be kool to see more artist who just sang aswell
2024 and I’m still loving this cover ♥️
I just found this cover and I honestly like it alot. I don't get how people are saying it's a disgrace to the original?! Honestly makes no sense to me
@@repooctnega176 this band rocks !!
Very clever, love the dueling vocals, add a different dimension to the song, not better or worse, but different and retains the creepiness.
:O You find the song creepy?
I always found it more despairing/tragic, which is the aspect this cover kinda misses imo... =/
Honestly as a die hard Brand New fan and someone who has never listened to We Are The In Crowd, this cover isn't bad in the slightest. I do miss Jesse's raw, harsh vocals and the screams in the chorus, but the exchange between these two vocalists who compliment each other so well almost makes up for it. The instrumental is very faithful. A very "if it ain't broke don't fix it" approach. This is a great cover and I may listen to more of these guys in the near future.
I generally agree, but it almost comes off as too "faithful" to me. I like their version, but it sounds like a muted rehash of the powerful original. They used the EXACT same breakdown, drum fills, bridges, chords etc. everything. I would have liked these guys to put a little bit of their own spin on it.
They're not trying to top Brand New, this is simply a tribute to music that means something to them. I'm not too big on In Crowd's stuff, it's not at all bad, just doesn't appeal to me.

Couldn't have said it better, man. I feel the same.
I don't think their cover brings anything new to the song, which is what a cover ought to do.
EintheCorgie says who? stop trying to create rules to music.
Ricardo Leite Stop telling people what to do. If he can’t do shit then you can’t do shit.
You like it but it doesn't appeal to you? Lol
I love that they did a brand new song. you guys are great.
Hi
+Crackaveli D. this song isn't new
+Shrek uhh.... I know this. it's a Brand new song. the band Brand New.
the band may be new but the song isn't its by another band

I have honestly watched this video 20+ times in the last 24 hours. I wish I could buy this version of the song
this is the most positive comment section I think i've ever seen on a cover. it's beautiful :')
Everyone chill, watic comes in peace.
This is unbelievably - and surprisingly - an amazing cover.
I commented 7 years ago and I was really critical but I've grown now and I want y'all to know I really dig this cover.
We love to see it

I am not usually one for covers, but this one is great.
Dueling voices/duet style is a very cool effect. Nicely done.
This song is related to Brand New since 2003 and I gotta give credit for Taylor Jardine? 💥🤟🏾😝🤟🏾💥

good point, but then there's no point in covering exactly. I think they add their own little twist to it
Cal Menzies I agree
nope this was better than the original
+Anthony Brown Better than the original? Have you been snorting blocks?
nah just my opinion as a musician for over a decade and in the process of getting a degree in this sort of thing.

Love this cover. Brand New is my all time favorite band and I think this band did a great job.
so awesome
Wait, why is everyone hating on it?
Cause people think covers are supposed to be better than the original
Ah, I have an open mind I guess
i liked it
cuz they are haters, nuff said, this song rocks
Because the original was way more emotional. It's not a bad cover, but Brand New did it way better.
If they screamed people would love it lol.
So you would love it, when they screamed people? :P
NightfalZD lol people think they sound too poppy. Which is true, they are a pop punk band
Jade Arcade That's right :D
And I love this song though
Is it me or does Jordan look like Bo Burnham in this video?
Had to see if someone else saw it too!
used to hang with these guys and Love, Robot back in the day, would often sit in on their band practices and they were the coolest kids...hard to believe that was about a decade ago
This song kicks ass and the bass riff is friken great too!

If you're looking for something different to listen to, listening to the first four tracks off Brand New's Deja Entendu[This is the second, TAUTOU the first, and I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light and Okay I Believe You, but My Tommy Gun Don't are #'s 3+4 respectively...] a few times is worthwhile to try and get a feel for where the song originates from... =]
It's kinda important to listen to the lyrics and keep an open mind however... and not give the victory to this one for being more "mainstream"... =/
lol :P
PunkRockDependency very rarely do I think the cover is better than the original, and in this case, I don't believe the cover is better. And you're right, the song's lyrics are from a guys perspective therefore the fact it's sang as a duet is kind of dumb.
I did check out the original, and I think it's pretty freaking great, I'll definitely be checking out more of Brand New's stuff.
Also I don't blame Brand New fans for getting upset at We Are The In Crowd fans for saying that the cover is better, it just didn't settle with me well when they were saying things like "Brand New should never be covered" and "We Are The In Crowd ruined the song for me" when no one was forcing them to listen to the cover and if the song meant something to a fan, nothing another artist did could ever really ruin it for them.
I'm glad WATIC covered this though, they introduced me to a band I've never listened to before.
Oh and thanks for being civil haha, you seem like a decent person. :)
It can't match Brand New's original, but this is still a great cover.
not a bad cover. i like some of the things u did with it. u toned down the screaming a lot and at first i didn’t like it but after a couple times i thought it was ok. hard to be as good as the original but this was the best i’ve seen online. good job
Yeah I wish Brand New got my love with covers
this cover is brilliant, as one of my favorite songs i think they nailed it even though their styles are very different
I love Brand New and I, too, am disappointed in the comments. We are the in crowd did pretty good and honestly, if you had a band that went big and someone out of their garage started singin your song, its the concept of knowing your music did something for somebody. not whether or not they sang it well.
I think a lot of the hostility originates out of the fact this video seems to be kinda spreading into brand new vids with ignorant less than graceful comments about it's supposed superiority... lol... It's unfortunate, however covers on UA-cam kinda tend to generate a lot of this back and fourth... To Brand New fans' credit, I've seen far worse, like when "Panic!" did a live Radiohead cover... That was some vicious criticism.... The main point is to just try and be civil, it performing, releasing, and monetizing[... I think? iunno about that, either way Hopeless uploaded it...] this performance We Are The In Crowd accepts that Brand New fans will pass judgement, and there's nothing wrong with expressing sincere critical assessments... It's unfortunate that there's so much smack talkery on both sides, that leads BN fans to feel they have to enter guns blazing, however really, for UA-cam this is pretty good... Some fairly thought out comments, and even most of the rage comments I read are more simply opinionated than bigoted[ex: No irrelevant homophobia, etc.] compared to a lot of fan feuds[ex: Muse PreTwilight-Supremacists vs Muse Twilight Fans, Blink-182 vs Blink Spawned Projects, Beliebers, various other artists, etc...]...
Like the criticism that the lyrics are kinda nonsensical in a duet, especially one with a female vocalist due to the subject matter is a legitimate argument. And it's okay to discuss that, though I agree it's best kept civil...
Don't let any of it get to you though! =]
Frankly this is pretty good for UA-cam.... Guess Google+ comment evolution is perhaps working somewhat... lol :P
2022?🤗
I love it...
2 weeks later and im still so blessed by this cover
I actually love this so much! Jordan's little scream thing at the end ohmygod it will be the death of me
I'll always wish that their new project moved more in this direction than to the pop route
For WATIC fans who haven't heard the original, I would suggest watching the video for the original song. Brand New is an amazing band, and though WATIC did a pretty good job covering a great song, the original holds more emotion and more meaning. After all, Brand New wrote the song from their own life experiences and poured all of their feelings into one track.
In alot of ways better than original
Great cover ..sick transit gloria by brand new
I love this cover, excellent job!
Cover songs that are exact duplicates of the original leave a lot to be desired. Mix it up and make it your own. Just my opinion. That snare sounds pretty sweet though
Yeah man.... that snare sounds so good.
What does the guy singer keep doing with his mouth? Is he ok? :S
GRAHAME :D
kabluwi Hey :) don't mind me I'm just floating around youtube taking the piss out of people with no control over their lips or neck muscles
His name is Jordan and he does that a lot. Idk why, but you get used it it haha
I think I would rather kick myself in the balls than watch him doing that for another second of my life
They should scream in the chorus the verse that says "die young and save yourself".
Maybe they can't scream...
Mason Johnson In my opinion the cover isn't bad, but the chorus isn't as urgent and as emotional without the screams.
Ashlii Prigmore But im saying, he actually can't scream. He does not have the ability to scream. It doesn't matter if it sounds better or not, he can't do it.
Ah...I see now.
***** The last one was perfect in my opinion
Good job! Kept the bass line intact, and added your own unique embellishments. You've honored one of the best pop-punk songs of my generation. Love it.
They especially killed it in the chorus, great job.
Hate to be that guy but, although it's put together well, this cover really has no reason to exist - it's no better or more different than the original.
Well, they actually add some stuff, like the wah wah in the guitar on the verses, and also tays voice sounds really great, also I feel that this drum track is better timed than the original, more like in the style of watic (as a cover should normally be) is in the sound of watic, nice cover anyways
gonzalo zamora "this drum track is better timed than the original" are you joking? lol
Pretty sure the idea of a cover is just a different person singing the original lel
I agree. me and my buddies play this for fun all the damn time when we get together. love the bass
You Me At Six did a cover of Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy.
It was more or less the same.
Which means it was also good.
Don't be afraid, scream the die young and save yourself....Pretty huge lapse in judgement imo.
pretty good. the "die young and save yourself" part wasn't up to par, but still good job
Taylor's voice. Jordan's voice. This music. OMFG.
Amazing!
2024 am the only one
Still watching this in 2019
WATIC are one of my favourite bands.
But.
I just think Brand New are better left uncovered.
Oh my fucking god. As a Brand New fan since 2002, this is the absolute best cover of Sic I've ever heard. Thanks Tay and the rest of WATIC.
Jordan screams!!! OMG I died. I hope WATIC will make songs like this for their future album.
Her hair makes me feel sick haha. It's beautiful.
Beet kristell I knoooowwww
Having a male and female vocalist going back and forth is more effective imo considering the song is about sex.
she isn't loud enough in the mix
also i didn't know Bo Burnham was in this band lol
hahahahahaha
Kyle DeWitt she sounds like a dude.... like a young dude.
hahahahahaha
i think she sounds good, it just takes a little more than that to stop living in the shadow of hayley williams
Kyle Uyobongochukwu DeWitt there must be something wrong with your headphones
Amazing cover. True to form. Great tone too
That thick bassline keeps bringing me back, other than this awesomeness of this song.
They didn't do anything to make it their own. They tried replicating the original note for note. I never understood the point of that. Jesse Lacey's version is obviously better
excellent cover, at least it sounds like the original
I'm a fan of Brand new
He's having a hard time to scream
Thanks for the amazing cover!!!!!! :D love you guys!!!
this is what got me into brand new and now im obsessed aaaah
it's just a cover, some of you guys need to calm down
Brand New is best uncovered.
That was improbably good. I'm normally not a big fan of We Are the In Crowd, which is to say, I despise most of their work. And when I learned they'd covered a band as good as Brand New, I was all set to hate it. But they actually did a very good job of capturing the intensity of the song. In Brand New's version, Jesse often sang like he didn't really care about the lyrics, and the vocals in the chorus had a very weak feel to it. This version actually fixes both problems, with surprisingly authentic instrumentation. I generally love Brand New and detest We Are the In Crowd, but this was actually significantly better than the original recording.
Nothing will beat Brand New for me, but props for the epic bassline! That's the hardest part and honestly they did good!
Oh my god saw these guys live they were amazing! Well worth seeing them I was so happy when I got the tickets! Keep going guys you are awesome!
I'm here because of the twenty one pilots ff (Don't) Leave Me Alone
Same XD
That's such a good ff
Olivia Gilmour it really is!!
I dont want to sound like one of those hipster pricks, but i honestly love the original more
You goddamn hipster prick
she's so freaking cute
Awesome. A lot of times it seems covers fail to come close to the glory & goodness of the original...but this one kicks ass. So good.
I don't know what was I expecting when I opened this but I am not disappointed 💝
