They make fairly direct references to other music, but there’s enough of their own selves in it, that it doesn’t ever feel like thin pastiche. Bless em, I hope they’ll be around, and confident and happy, for many years.

    What a band! They sound so good, so complex and so mature that it´s difficult to believe that they are only teenagers.
    Great vocals and great performance with the instruments, specially Michael, who plays the drums as if his life depended on them.... althought in reality they are the others who are in danger of being kicked when he plays the guitar.
    Awsome, simply awsome.

      A ver cómo evolucionan estos chicos y si son capaces o no de introducir elementos más actuales con el paso de los años y si saben gestionar la que les va a caer encima porque, a pesar del éxito seguro que les auguro, son casi unos niños y habrá que ver cómo se manejan y si saben ser firmes para manterer su estilo libre de las grandes discográficas y los gustos mainstream.

La verdad que semejante talento y las tablas que ya tienen los mamones con esa edad ensancha la sonrisa hasta quebrar los tendones en estos nefastos (por la industria) tiempos musicales.

    I have never seen a drummer be so fucking all over the place and have weird techniques and not look like he knows what he is doing and simultaneously be so fucking amazing, accurate and tasteful, right in the pocket and dynamic! How does he do it, I mean at 3:00, who holds the sticks and moves their whole arms instead of wrists like that? Yet he is right in the pocket playing the dynamics he needs!

    I just love the part from 05:02. The drummer is completly fucking nuts, AND HE DON'T MISS A SINGLE FUCKING BEAT! It's a delight to see and hear! 😅

    Can’t argue with pure talent. Maybe it’s not your cup of tea, but you definitely can’t say these guys aren’t making great music.
