Is This The Future Of Indie Music?!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- A new young band called Lovejoy are currently trending on UA-cam music with their new song Call Me What You Like. Is indie music making a comeback? This feels a lot like what we heard in the late 90s and early 00s, am I right? Let me know if you think this kind of music is making a resurgence or maybe it never went away. Well done, Lovejoy!

love you Justin, thanks for taking the time to check us out 😊
ASH!!!
Omg a wild kabosu!
here you see an ash in his natural habitat
hi Ash! :D
HI ASH!
How fun that you stumbled upon Lovejoy! I think they named the band after their friend, whose last name was 'Lovejoy'. They got a lot of exposure through front man Wilbur Soot's streaming/online career and were able to keep retention outside that, it's fun to see them grow with every release. I think this is their best production quality so far, it sort of solidified for me that they've got that 'something', but maybe that's just my craving for catchy indie tunes.
Notably Wil's lyrics set them apart too. His writing skills were evident in his comedy/solo songs, and very leading for his (internet cult status) album 'Your City Gave me Asthma'. Now another great example would be Lovejoy's song 'The Fall' (which also features a brilliant monologue).
Benedict Lovejoy gets a shoutout.
Yea Will is amazing at writing lyrics. "Since I saw vienna" is one of my favorite examples.
JHRA: The only channel that covers pop culture, music theory and technique, and syntax and grammar. I love this man.
And dance moves 💥

I saw the title and I was a bit scared that it was going to be like a complaint about how it was so sad that music was going down the drain and how they thought the song was terrible, but I was so thankful to find it otherwise.
SAME I WAS LIKE DONT U DARE DISRESPECT LOVEJOY
i really think lovejoy's gonna get Really big (more than they already are lol) soon , and im so happy to have been there since their debut :D thank u for checking them out , and im glad u like their stuff 💪 them being number 32 on the official charts to start it off ? i think this is gonna be their year for sure (at least i hope so) !!
no doubt, they are getting more mainstream it’s so cool and funny to me to see people being surprised when they discover wilbur is a streamer lol
@@firewhite its literally the opposite of how it used to be , people being shocked that wilbur made music LOL -- they rlly went a long way
just saw the Charismatic Voice covering the Darkness. She loved your voice.
I just watched this and now I REALLY want Justin to do a reaction video to her video! Would be amazing! 🤩
It's really cool I hope Justin goes and checks it out
It would be really cool to get a singers feedback on one of her videos, so I hope Justin goes and does a reaction video on it too
I vote for a reaction video too! Might be a little long since her vids go on for a bit, but would be fun!
And also, Justin should critique her singing in the future on top of it ( if he can find some footage or her singing/performing- or maybe he can special request footage from her), which may get some of her followers to follow Justin too! It would be interesting to hear Justin critique opera . . . and hilarious to watch Justin making tasteful, silly jokes like my dad apparently did when mom once took him to see The Nutcracker (which is ballet, but the same point stands). You can imagine my mom elbowing my dad every two mins with all the split and pirouette impressions from his seat and later at home. My dad appreciated culture, but he just couldn’t take that sort of thing seriously.
I’d have to imagine Justin would be in that same “appreciative, but silly” camp. So we would get a dose of opera . . . and some silly fun! I’m sure The Charismatic Voice would find it fun and silly - like picture Justin doing impressions of her charming facial reactions to his music and then doing his own animated reactions to her singing opera in a second video! I don’t believe I’ve ever seen any of her performances. I’m sure there must be footage somewhere. Or maybe she can make a special video for the occasion with some of her students and colleagues. 😂
Okay, it’s settled. Justin is doing a video response to TCV’s video of him. Then he’s doing a critique of her. Yay! 👍🏻😬
Oh, and maybe he can interview her sometime. It would be interesting to learn how about her and her channel. And what she REALLY thinks about metal, punk, rock, etc.
Wilbur Soot, the lead singer of Lovejoy, also has some solo stuff! both serious and comical. I highly recommend the "maybe I was boring" EP by him. Incidentally, Wilbur is also from Suffolk!
Surely worth checking out
Lovejoy Is my favorite band ever and it's great too see how much of an impact they've made already
Really enjoy lovejoy! Saw them live back in october and they were incredible! Even got to speak with the band and they were all so lovely! Great video Justin!
@Justin, in an unrelated topic you should definitely get into contact with Elizabeth Zharoff of The Charismatic Voice UA-cam channel. She is fascinated with your voice while she was checking out "I Believe in a Thing Called Love". She's a fan of Rick Beato too! I am sure she would love speaking to you about your singing and have a spot of tea! Oh and by the way, she loved the "Space Kraken" on the ship in the video (as do we all, I am sure).
Yeah be great to stream a chat with Elizabeth like you did with Rick B
Her viewing of Stevie Ray Vaughan was an awesome video.
I was yelling "Ian McShane!" at you. Glad you finally heard it.
Just come here from The Charismatic Voice channel, where classically trained opera singer Elizabeth has just analysed your voice. She frikkin' LOVES you! I think she might like to have you as a guest on her channel, and / or vice versa. Everyone's talking about your channel over there too.
I was so happy seeing lovejoy on the thumbnail and was so happy with the progress they have made as I've stuck around to wilbur soot (watching and listening to him online) for years so seeing him and his friends get on so many channels just makes me so happy how much progress he has made
I believe "The Fall" by Lovejoy also has a dramatic monologue type segment? So that might be one to look into too!
The note that stays constant through a melodic/harmonic shift is often called "pedal point" or a "pedal" note. The term comes from the use of an organ's bass pedals independently from the keyboard.
If you haven’t watched Elizabeth ( The charismatic voice) react to I believe in a thing called Love yet, you should. She absolutely loves you voice but watching her try to make sense of what’s going on in the Vid is really funny
Last comment for today, I promise…Elizabeth on The Charismatic Voice has ‘I Believe in a Thing Called Love’ on today! I was only able to watch a few minutes (I will def finish it this evening) but I did see the comments and people are wanting you two to collaborate! I think she’s down for it! She’s so lovely, a collab with her would be so great!! Please check it out! ❤
That intro hit different today; the chord played while singing "again"... oof, that was *chef's kiss*
It all melted together like a musical cheese toastie.
I LOVE Lovejoy and The Darkness and it makes me so happy to see you taking a look at Lovejoy! I think their lyricism and techniques on the guitar, bass, and drums are just so amazing. Must be something in British rock music that keeps me loving it!
The inidie dancing and the character search about a tv show has won the internet today. Always fantastic, Justin!
And 05:29
@@youropionmattersnot Hahaha...yes!
Justin, your Indie vibe and dancing just made my day!! You are so hilarious!
A request to you and your prrrrrroducer, if I may…
Would you consider making the episodes just a few minutes longer? Not necessarily the song breakdown/analysis, but maybe a bit of just talking, or anything, really. You are so interesting and hilarious! I bet I’m not the only one who would enjoy that!!
Have a great day/night!
Double Justin! Just watched The Charismatic Voice react to The Darkness! Good day...
I wanted to tell him!!!!!! 😠
Prepare to be inundated with people asking you to react to Elizabeth on The Charismatic Voice channel reacting to I Believe in a Thing Called Love. :)
Love the confusion between Boon and Lovejoy with Ian McShane classic lol ❤😅
Ian McShane! That's it!
If I had just acquired that gorgeous guitar, I'd be constantly holding it up to the camera saying "just look at it!" (I mean, it also probably sounds really good.)
Thanks for the indie dance lesson.
Thank you so much, Justin! 😘😘😘
I really needed an episode like this one, and not for the reviewed genre but because of the hilarious moments 1:25, 1:34, 8:30, 9:07 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Superb!
I love all these uploads… its like having an old friend you can check in with when you need cheering up. Thanks for all you do Justin (and Miss MoneyPenny!)
Hopefully their new album will bring something good to the table, i genuinely think they have the potential to make an impact on the music scene.
Love that you go over the theory and musicianship behind these songs.
Justin, you will never know the insane pleasure I get from watching a widely recognized Guitar God such as your good self fluffing and buzzing notes in a desperate search for musical truth. All part of the process!
5:09 - the bass line reminds me of The Cure's Love Song more than anything Blur did
I cannot believe this is where we're at! Lovejoy getting commented on by Justin Hawkins is just the best timeline I could hope for!
Growing-up in Haverhill, where some Lovejoy scenes were filmed, it was also a favourite. My Mum once saw Tinker in Haverhill Sainsbury’s. I’m not sure if Ian McShane was there too
I'm sure you were told, the creator of The Charismatic Voice and The Singing Hole channels did a vocal analysis of your performance of *A Thing Called Love*.
She is a very sweet lady with multiple degrees in music and voice, ex-opera singer that performed in 19 different languages!
...and she loves your voice @Justin, said it's incredible
Happy Valentine's Day ❤️
Jeez...I LIVED that dance lesson 🤣 Thanks for the reminder Justin, good memories, those!
The Charismatic Voice just reviewed you, you should absolutely check it out, she’s so enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable
Charismatic Voice loves you. What a great breakdown of your voice.
"Antiques driven crime fighting". Yeah, it was pretty niche, wasn't it?!
Oeuvre!
I'm so glad Lovejoy is getting the recognition it deserves❤
just watched this to see what people just finding lovejoy thought and I am thoroughly entertained, definitely laughed a few times while watching :)
The fact you could tell that bit about music college from the guitar blows my mind a bit, I think one of their members went to BIMM in Londkn
i’m not too sure about the song but you rock the indie hair!
Indie never went away. Pat the bunny is a great example ao many dif prpjects icluding ramsackle glory, wingnut dishwashers union, johnny hobo and the frieght trains.
Ani difranco is a good example, sh started her own record label Rightous babe records.
That dance brings back memories.
Can you give any advice on voice lessons? Im having a difficult time finding someone?
Last thing do you do any live streams?
I really enjoy your content!!!!
Just got done watching The Charismatic Voice going full Fangirl over you!
Just watched a reaction to I believe in a thing called love by Elizabeth on the channel “the charismatic voice”,she’s interviewed many singers and she loves your voice
Just checking in Justin. I would truly appreciate your take on my band The Micawbers. We wrote an album about the radicalization of Europe and the madness of the current cultural climate and I still stand by my opinion that it will eventually be seen as one of the most important albums of the past 5 years (regardless of how many/little streams it gets).
I started writing our follow up album this week and I know it's going to be even stronger.
Much love from a Norwich born guy who ended up in Los Angeles.
The album is called "Aim Low, Get Sold" xxx
Winston of The Continental rides again \m/
Yes, I love the radio presenter voice from the olden days! Weren't the Indie dance moves even less livelier? Ian McShane also played Blackbeard in Pirates of the Caribbean that's where I know him from. I have to say I love the enthusiasm and the uncontainable liveliness! And the dramatic pause lured me into suspense before the 'Or maybe not' catapulted me right out again. 🤣
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnn! 🎶🎶🎶🔥
3:50 it is suspending, fsus4 to be precise. however, on the G#, you can see that as an augmented 4th since it is a semitone above the 4th relative to the chord, it is not a diminished 5th because the rhythm guitar plays the 5th of the chord.
Edit: as far as I am aware, the main songwriter, Will Gold, did not attend collage for music, he was self taught. I don't know about the other members but Mark was a session musician so he might of picked some stuff up from around the Brighton scene, and Joe and Ash seems to be rather knowledgeable with music, I might be wrong but I think Ash has an interest in music theory.
Edit 2: The half spoken bridge is heavily inspired by Los Campensinos' debut album Hold On Now, Youngster, specifically the tracks You Me Dancing and This Is How You Spell "HAHAHA..."
I discovered Lovejoy late last year and they've quickly become one of my favourite bands. I don't know about the rest of the members but Wilbur (the lead singer) is a self taught musician
Absolutely love Lovejoy. Got introduced to them through my daughter, who followed Wilbur Soot on UA-cam. We’ve been listening to them for a few years. We saw them in Cardiff in October and they were awesome live. Pretty good lyrics in their songs. I do hope they make it big, they deserve it.
I relate to Soot’s Jubilee Line. “Your city gave me asthma, so that’s why I’m fucking leaving.” 😂
@askseren ッ what’s that mean??
@askseren ッ ah I see! Aww thanks for the compliment then. 😊 x
Big Will/LoveJoy fan here, just discovered your channel and I am in love
That baggy jumper worked perfectly for the Indie dancing demo 😂 Thanks Justin X
that is the most gorgeous guitar i have ever seen
Should check out the charismatic voice's reaction from today! I think you'd enjoy her reaction to your voice
Dude... that guitar of yours here, sounds like the John Frusciante Niandra lades and usually just a t shirt acoustic... a lot!!! Super badass... 🤘
I would absolutely love to see you do a review of Voiceplay especially their cover of Nothing Else Matters or Dream On. The arrangements of these are epic! I'm always in awe of your ability to pick out the chords/time signatures/ etc. so quickly! I thoroughly enjoy your channel!
I remember the shoe-gazing Indie dancing days too! Yeah, I'm *that* old!😂
I quite recommend the fall and yeah, you wanna cry? As they are my favourite songs by them :D
Ahh watching Love joy reminds me of after school , the fam all sitting watching TV. nice indie dancing BTW 🕺
I love Justin so much and pt see him do a video on my favourite band is one the most amazing moments ever
"The diablo from the root" lol My best recordings were off my boombox. Because our PA wasn't loud enough I would put the boombox right-up on the PA speaker for the perfect mix. I hated studios because it killed the spontaneity. I liked the bleed. Everything out of the studio sounded sterile. Good job mate.
just watched: First Time Listening to The Darkness! Vocal ANALYSIS of "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" by The Charismatic Voice
Hi Justin, check the video about you from “the charismatic voice”. You will like it 😊 About your other video “Limp Bizkit”, my son opened for that band a few years ago in Luxembourg … Atomic Rocket Seeders (it is a metal trio from Luxembourg).
Love the channel, JH! Please do a vid on The Peept Tempel, maybe their song "Carol"? They were truly one of Australia's coolest bands and never got the recognition they deserved. Every song is basically a portrait of Australia's underbelly.
“The charismatic voice” just did a great analysis of “ I believe in a thing called love”, check it out Justin, she loved you!
Haha half the comments are about the Charismatic Voice :D love it.
This is sick! Lovejoy are one of my favourite bands
Really, or do you prefer the wombats 🤣
Same for me i think Lovejoy is a great band and i love the vibe of them
I am an enjoyer of indie rock and can confirm that is indeed how you dance to this music.
Probably one of the biggest reasons they’re so popular is cuz the lead singer Wilbur Soot is a very popular Minecraft UA-camr/streamer
Wilbur soot, seriously 😅🤣😂
Not his real name....it is a gaming tag. His real name is Will Gold
Sorry but it is absolute drivel, lyrically and musically but please keep watching
How many "classic" songs through the years have lyrics that are absolute drivel? Lots.....
Justin, I've just watched a video reaction by The Charismatic voice on The Darkness' I believe in a thing called love. it was very good, and she really loves your voice!
Justin ..... that's a gorgeous guitar ❤️
Love it cheers mate!
Enjoyed the dance lesson.
That second verse riff could very well be inspired by The Cure's Lovesong.. Very similar
Hahaha the dancing... honestly LOL
The Indie dancing and that “Indie look”were perfect!! haha!!
The minimal part of the melody reminds me of Lovesong by The Cure.
Perfectly phrased thumbnail Justin. Quick wit and instant repartee.
this video feels like a fever dream to watch but i like it so so much new favorite video
Indie has never been away. Check out Alvvays and The Beths. They are indie bands for the 2020s
Definitely! Love both of those bands 👍
What's the story behind Brighton bands having a singer who seems to have been born and grown up in the South East, but sings with kind of a Peak District accent (cf The Kooks)?
Another charismatic voice comment for the algorithm
That verse part is very similar to The Cures Love song .
Some interesting chord progressions going on in this song. I'll have to check out their work.
I liked Lovejoy too. Starred Ian McShane. Who also starred here in the US on Deadwood, which was another favorite show of mine.
Justin. Never change. I love you!
I blame Mumford/Lumineers for the every beat kick thing. Like bearded men with acoustic guitars stomping their heeled boots 'gainst the barn floor.
YT doesn't like links, even ones for YT so drop this in the search bar. First Time Listening to The Darkness! Vocal ANALYSIS of "I Believe In A Thing Called Love"
well, not anymore!
Justin, greetings from Kidderminster, I was wondering when the Darkness were coming to town? Ha ha , nice one ! Up the Harriers
Keep an eye on our socials and website.
Screaming at the screen, Ian McShane! 🤣
@5:10 Immediately I hear The Cure - Love Song
I would love to know you're opinions on this years Brit Awards 😅
Hey Justin, just another Charismatic Voice fan here, encouraging you to check out her reaction to IBIATCL, Her videos can be long but well worth watching. She’s like the Rick Beato of voice expertise. (I desperately want her to cover Ren!). Love your channel…
This guy looks 50 and 25 in the same time while also looking like Pedro Pascal
The Cure- Lovesong but with short sleeve jumpers and beanies
Reminded me of Cure once it opened up
