"If you wanna do something great, you have to swing for the fences. And if you strike out, who cares? At least you fuckin took a swing." -Josh Ramsay 2015
Same. He seems really hype about it which is great :D The way he kept moving because he is really excited made my heart beat faster & get more happy ^-^ lol
I got chills watching this! It's so nice to see Josh so passionate and excited about this. I really appreciate his honesty in telling us how hard things have been for him but now he's found something he can enjoy. I'm so excited for this album, so excited to hear what Josh has to say!
I usually never comment on any videos, (I'm mostly the "appreciate from a distance" type) but I wanted to say how proud I am of this band, and Josh. Seeing Josh talking about Astoria, and the passion you can see in his eyes is truly inspiring. It makes me smile to see someone who has gone through such a hard time, is coming out on top, and is doing something he loves. He inspires me. His love for making music is genuine, and that is a big reason of why I love this band so much. I have not been able to stop listening to this album since the day it came out. Or every single album for that matter! Seeing Josh, Matt, Mike, and Ian grow as artists over the decade that they've been releasing music has been amazing.They are all so inspiring, and I cannot put in words how much I appreciate them. Your music is beautiful, creative, and it has saved me so many times. So thank you, Marianas Trench. Thank you for being yourselves, and for making the greatest music. Your music has always been there for me, and I know that whenever I'm having a hard time, I know that you will always be there. Please always keep making music as long as it makes you happy. You have changed my life. And I will never be able to thank you enough for that. I'm sending you lots of love from Canada!
This record can't come out fast enough, honestly. Sounds great from the snippets included in this. You can just see it in their faces, and hear it in their voices, just how excited they really are. So ready for Astoria.
If there's one thing you guys do better than any other band, it's making the whole album sound like it's literally the score to a movie. On both Masterpiece Theatre and Ever After, you've completely nailed making the entire records as polished yet emotional as possible. So that fact you decided to play to that element even more makes me incredibly excited.
+Astoria DP it's not wildfire. Someone leaked the whole album and I listened to the whole thing but didn't hear that part in any song. It made me super confused
Basic process of any artist: doesn't do anything for months on end and then suddenly STUFF STUFF STUFF STUFF STUFF STUFF HEY LOOK AT MY STUFF DUDE I DID SOME COOL STUFF SHIT I NEED MORE SUPPLIES FOR THIS STUFF YES I LOVE STUFF also those fucking corn thing!! Nobody I know has any idea what they are meanwhile I'm hear shoving my face with them on the regular
I wanted to make them myself a while ago but I could find a recipe for them. Probably because they're called fucking corn nuts. Whenever I but them the package says toasted kernels D:
Thanks to Google, I've learned that "Corn nuts are prepared by soaking whole corn kernels in water for three days, then deep-frying them in oil until they are hard and brittle." I bet there's tons of recipes when you search for corn nut recipes now haha. I love that there is now a comment thread mostly devoted to corn nuts on a Marianas Trench video LOL
IM SO EXCITED AND HAPPY AND CRYING AT THE SAME TIME. SO FUCKING HAPPY N PROUD FOR JOSH, EXCITED FOR THIS FUCKING MASTERPIECE TO BE DONE AND CRYING BC THIS IS TOO OVERWHELMING
OMFG. YOU ARE ME IN THIS SITUATION. I COME HOME AND MARIANAS JUST DROPS THIS BOMB ON MY FACE AND IM LEFT HERE YELLING AT MY PHONE TO STOP BECAUSE IM NOT OK
Blue Starlight IM NOT PREPARED I'M LITERALLY GOING TO JUST MELT AWAY INTO A POL OF EMOTION. THEY'RE SUCH GENIUSES. JOSH SAID IT'LL BE CINIMATIC AND I JUST NOOOOOPE.
I will admit I am VERY new to Marianas Trench. Stumbled across One Love in my UA-cam feed, and just said OMG. And I have been watching and listening to everything I can find since then. I can't get enough, and I don't remember the last time I have been so deeply.............amazed and enthralled and emotionally overwhelmed by a band or an artist. Thank you!
I feel you! A friend told me about this band and I fell in love with their music ever since! It's been roughly a year I think since my friend introduced me to this awesome band and I am just so hooked!
This video alone was such a honor to watch. If this is what the album is like in it's rawest stages I can't even imagine how it will be once it's released to the world.
Josh you have a brilliant mind and beautiful talent. I love everything Marianas Trench has put out in the world. If I'm not feeling 100% or I'm depressed or unmotivated I put on your music and I'm almost instantly better. Thank you.
This album is seriously the best complete album I've head in a long time. I know that many people went into making it and that the other boys are the key players to making it so good. But what Josh did with this concept -- the lyrics, the movie score, the song arrangements -- it is absolutely brilliant. Much like the Ever After album, the beginning and ending songs are so nuanced and well constructed that you can feel the story behind it even though it's a mash of different emotions and tunes. The little reminiscent pieces of old songs woven throughout, like Porcelain's bridge in End of an Era rewritten to say goodbye, used to bring in a sad nostalgia, are some of many reasons that Josh shouldn't be renowned for a song like "Call Me Maybe" only. That man deserves numerous awards. I cannot stress enough about how genius this album is and I'm not afraid to say that I truly believe he hit the goal of making their "Thriller". This album better not get ignored cause that would be such a shame to not acknowledge this caliber of talent!
+redraven24 DUH but LIKE 2010-2011 WE'VE SEEN IT TOO like how many people can say they produced all on his own , their own Albums and it's SO GOOD too! like he produced another much better song with Carly called "Sour Candy"(which they both co-wrote too and on the first day they met and on the spot became like Siblings [Carly actually said in an interview he's like a brother to her] and yeah) in like 2009/2008 he was like 23-24 like that's pretty YOUNG for someone to do that!. Like Chad knows how insanely talented and genius he is too! like their first album Dave Genn & Marianas Trench have Producer credits so josh kinda started to play bits with the producer parts, and in Masterpiece Theatre he started to become more of his a producer, and then he got super smart and went and write , Produce, etc. for a wide range of Artists and groups and then he stepped it up and worked for in different genres of music so he could learn different tricks with writing and Producing then what he learn on that project he brings those new tricks back to the band and he see's if he can use them in his work. and ppl this is only in 10/15 YEARS ! and he's been working his ass off most of his life , he started his career at 14 but before he was learning to become that. they started forming the band in 2001 he was like 15, The band recorded and released a self-titled EP in 2002! they got picked up in like 2003! and plus Matt's 2 years younger than Josh too! and on ! like seriously these boys , Josh should a lot more then they do ! like his musical talent is in the same zone as like classic rockers ! he's done a really close cover of AC/DC for god sakes and it's REALLY close. he's god the Michael Jackson voice with like Steven Tyler's and multi more! and FUCK AFTER POP 101 FUCK YES that was a very hard song to make and he DID it ! and that's also why Chad told him personally to come and write for NICKELBACK yes they aren't the *CLEANEST* band but that's a big deal ok! and plus he got to sing in a bit in the background, plus played some guitar too! AND NB seriously wasn't disappointed at all cuz both songs Josh did were loved and was top album seller! so he's probably going to do more with them cuz NB LOVES that kid! so yes he should !
Josh I am proud of you ❤ You decided to take your life in your own hands and canalize the energy into something awesome! No more self-destruction, and that makes you someone incredibly strong and also a model for all of us to follow
Honestly, this has GOT to be the most beautiful and emotional album they will have made thus far. It empowers so many different aspects of Josh's life, and you can REALLY feel his passion and heartfelt emotions into his songs unlike the usual Marianas Trench vibe we've all known thus far. Just from seeing "Wildfire" alone, it almost felt like the warmth and sorrow that came from this song was embracing my heart in such a passionate way. Marianas Trench has done emotional songs before, but there's something different that sparks right at you with this new album, something that I don't think anyone's creativity alone can be enough to produce such beautiful flow. Josh's life definitely took a toll on his music, and this album really exposes his true inner heart that not only produces music in a unique, wonderful manner but also in such an inspirational, earnest way. No proper words could ever describe the true emotional beauty and depth of their new album (that I have yet to embrace for the next years of my life). ♥ (Yes, I overexaggerate, but honestly, I still can't find better words to describe how amazing Astoria will turn out to be.)
Watching Josh talk about the album, and music is just so amazing. It almost makes me cry because he's just so passionate about music and he obviously loves it so much. And the whole band does. And he is so excited talking about the music and I love it so much ♥️ he is such an inspiring and passionate person and I love it. This band means so much to me and this just made it even better ♥️
"If you want to do something great, you have to swing for the fences. And if I strike out, who cares? At least you fucking took a swing. So I wanted to try for something, you know I'm looking at Thriller and Pet Sounds, and stuff that I feel are people's best work, and I want this to be my best work. And I would never say that I'm capable of writing a record as good as Pet Sounds or Thriller, but I can say, again, that I don't know what the fuck I'm capable of."
+Tori Crisologo I literally just became a fan three days ago and I can't stop listening to Ever After. It's such an amazing album, and I'm getting really into their other stuff and now I see this video - I am sooo beyond excited!!! He's so passionate and excited! :) I first heard about them because my husband is taking me to see them live in New York. :DDD
I've been listening and been a huge fan for the last five years or so. I'm so happy that new people are getting to know of them and become fans themselves. They honestly deserve a huge fan base 💙💙Marianas Trench!!!💙💙
Honestly, Josh is such an inspiration to me. The first time I watched this video, it really struck a chord with me. His whole saying how you've got to swing for the fences, and if you strike out, who cares. At least you took a fucking swing. It just makes me realize that I need to be more outgoing about what I love and that it's ok to mess up some times. Josh has really opened my eyes to the idea of embracing what happens in life, no matter how shitty it is. And seeing how Matt, Ian and Mike have been there for him through thick and thin, helping him produce this work, even just playing video games with him, it shows me that friends are your one true love. I love this band and I'm so glad to have them as role models
Josh has been through so much shit. He's the guy I look up to when I know I'm going through the worst of times. He still keeps going when things get at its worst to do what HE loves. Ever since the first album I've been following and supporting the whole band. I'm proud of what they've come to; and Josh still wants his songs to have MEANING; which a lot of songs lack these days. I love you Josh, Matt, Mike and Ian. You helped me keep going. Love, Rola
I've been a Marianas fan for almost a decade, I remember my first concert in a theatre that only sat 600 people, they were the openers, and such wicked guys, I'm proud to be from the same city! and to see them rise, and fall hurts me in a different way then just wanting new music, hope you guys are only gonna go up from here! happpy to see you guys happy!
THIS GUY IS SO INSPIRATIONAL AND HIS ATTITUDE IS CONTAGIOUS AND I HOPE HIS MOM IS FEELING BETTER AND I THINK HE IS JUST THE MOST PRECIOUS LITTLE CINNAMON ROLL, I FREAKING SWEAR.
Never have been so proud of a Canadian band, u are AWSOME and soo sorry about your mum, we are strong Canadians we / you can do this….You mean the world to me, u have gotten me through a lot in my life, love u all the guys🥰🥰🥰💋💋👼👼👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️❤️💖💖🙏🙏
I love Marianas Trench for many reasons, but one specifically is that they are genuinely creative when making music. Which is fairly rare nowadays in the music industry. I love it! Cant wait for this album and every other album to come!
I went through a period in my life, where having internet and tv were unlikely, so i lost touch with so much including most of my music (mt included), i honestly forgot about them for so long, but this last summer (September 11th 2019) i got to see these guys Perform and honestly....Josh has brought so much light to my life in the past month, than ive seen in the last 5 years of my life and it hurts that he'll never get to know how much he, as a human, means to me 😭 Excuse me while i curl up in a ball and cry my life away
You can just SEE the passion and creativity in his eyes and hear it in his voice. He truly is incredibly. The boys are as well but josh takes it to a new level.
God damn it guys. I've been a fan since I was probably 14 or 15 in high school. I've seen them 3 times over the years. I was also so excited they were from Vancouver too and they were this special thing for me. Marianas Trench was my first favourite band that felt like my music or my stuff as opposed to my parents, etc stuff AND EVERY TIME I THINK I'M OVER YOU GUYS YA PULL ME BACK IN
I really want to see Josh and probably the rest of the band write a film score! He's so freaking good at making albums centered around a concept, and I think he's got what it takes to make one kickass movie score.
HOW I BECAME OBSESSED WITH YOU GUYS in grade 1 or 2 I remember someone singing "take me with you I start to miss you" and I heard it on the radio a couple of times. All to myself was played a couple times, too. A couple years later I heard stutter, Fallout, Desperate Measures, and Pop 101, all on the radio. Last summer I decided to search up the title Cross my heart, and found you guys! Ever since then, my obsession with you has grown, and I'm seeing you guys in April! So excited!
Ahh this is why i LOVE them so much and have listen and changed with them since the beginning. Just beautiful songs with so much meaning, catchy music and talent and it just so emotional and uplifting at the same time. Cant wait!!!!
Josh sounds like he is in a better place - and I can't wait to listen to the new record and be humbly thankful Josh decided to share this with me as an individual, but with the whole world. What an inspiration to "take a swing" and do what you love. Congratulations MT.
Marianas Trench is brilliant with their music. The pieces fit together perfect & the harmonies are amazing. For people who understand music, this is a group that understands & puts feelings into words. Tera,
Throughout watching this, all I could do was just squeal about how cute he is! I love watching his energy and excitement about this. Being so passionate about music really makes a difference. A good difference ^_^
I had no idea they were engaged. Josh has always kept his relationship with Amanda quiet, which is totally fine, it's his decision to make, but a few years ago on Twitter someone asked Amanda about marriage and she said they were not going to get married, so I had no idea they were engaged.
THIS IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE!!!! I was actually pretty skeptical of Wildfire when I heard it at the Share a Coke stage, but this little snippet of it sounds UNREAL WOW!!!! Who Do You Love and This Means War also sound incredible. Of course. Duh. I'm really sorry he had to go through such hard things to make this, but I know I'm incredibly excited.
I absolutely LOVE how passionate and excited he is for this! You can see it in his eyes and just the way he talks and it totally warms my heart. Seeing himlike this makes me even more excited for Astoria!
Being able to watch this was honestly amazing and I feel like I got to see into something so very personal. Being able to really see how passionate Josh is and how much into this he gets was just amazing and I'm so grateful that like they did this and posted it, like I feel honored they shared this
Astoria and Ever After have to be two of my favorite albums. I love the melodies and harmonies, sounds and concepts, and the overall feel of the albums. Josh, Matt, Ian, and Mike are so talented. Listening to Josh talk about how his life kind of unfolded into the Astoria album and then listening to the songs themselves, I can really here his emotions and get an idea of what was happening at the time for him. It's amazing how he was able to do that, and I feel like I was on that journey with him and could relate with the songs. It's such a good album, and I highly recommend that people listen to it.
I LOVE that he is so excited about this album that he can barely even get the words out, in spite of the sad making of story. I cannot fucking WAIT for this record. Like, dude.
I have been a Trench for a little over 3 years now and I have been really nervous for this new album. Josh and the guys have been there for me when life took a turn for the worst, through all the ups and downs of being alive. But when they released Pop 101 and One Love I felt this sense of fear and dread. I was scared that they were going what was popular and that they lost what truly made them great, but now that I watched this video, I am no longer scared. I know that it will be great and I know that these boys have put their blood, sweat and tears on these tracks and for the first time in a long time I feel connected to the band. I CANNOT wait for Astoria and to see all the great things that will come with it.
When the guy writing the songs looks like he's going into a mad scientist spiral about a certain album then you know its gonna be an amazing album. you can practically see the thoughts and ideas crowding around in Josh's brain... and its beautiful
I was literally shouting and screaming this whole video!!! I'm so excited for the album...there's been a dull in new music that's good and I've been growing impatient! But now like 3 albums are coming out in like the same month that I'm so excited for and happy to say Astoria is one of them!!!! Can't wait!! Ughhhh hurry up already haha!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!

Josh being so excited for this record makes me immensely happy :D
I know, it's awesome!
Same. He seems really hype about it which is great :D
The way he kept moving because he is really excited made my heart beat faster & get more happy ^-^ lol
I'm late on this video but JOSH LOOKS SO HAPPY AND PASSIONATE AND IT'S SO CUTE OMG I LOVE WATCHING PASSIONATE PEOPLE
JOSH IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS ALBUM, I AM LITERALLY CRYING BECAUSE IM SO EXCITED
They amaze me. I wanna take a look in Josh's mind. It's pure gold. Freaking incredible
I got chills watching this! It's so nice to see Josh so passionate and excited about this. I really appreciate his honesty in telling us how hard things have been for him but now he's found something he can enjoy. I'm so excited for this album, so excited to hear what Josh has to say!

You have changed my life. And I will never be able to thank you enough for that.
I'm sending you lots of love from Canada!
I cried just a little. Just a teeny tiny bit. I swear. Really.
Oh, so did I...
Oh hey Darcy, XD.
(This is Natalia) THIS ALBUM IS BOMB
This record can't come out fast enough, honestly. Sounds great from the snippets included in this. You can just see it in their faces, and hear it in their voices, just how excited they really are. So ready for Astoria.

I love how enthusiastic he is about telling how they did the album. it's like a child telling you what they got for christmas : )
THE HARMONIES ON WHO DO YOU LOVE ARE AMAZING
I am so ecstatic for this see album and Josh's excitement was so damn adorable and infectious! I love you guys! can't wait!
2:05 Who do you love
5:44 Wildfire
6:47 Astoria
7:08 This means war
Awesome video but feeling really bad for Josh
The unknown song is Astoria :)
+Astoria DP K so 5:44 is not Wildfire.
nope it is deff wildfire at 5:44
You got all of the songs correct, but at 6:47 it is Astoria :)
+Astoria DP it's not wildfire. Someone leaked the whole album and I listened to the whole thing but didn't hear that part in any song. It made me super confused
Basic process of any artist: doesn't do anything for months on end and then suddenly STUFF STUFF STUFF STUFF STUFF STUFF HEY LOOK AT MY STUFF DUDE I DID SOME COOL STUFF SHIT I NEED MORE SUPPLIES FOR THIS STUFF YES I LOVE STUFF
also those fucking corn thing!! Nobody I know has any idea what they are meanwhile I'm hear shoving my face with them on the regular
+Katrina Wall Yeah they're corn nuts xD
Delicious, delicious corn nuts haha
I wanted to make them myself a while ago but I could find a recipe for them. Probably because they're called fucking corn nuts. Whenever I but them the package says toasted kernels D:

No one can make me laugh, cry and feel pain all in one video like Marianas Trench. This album is going to kill me, but I'm ready for it.
I feel like Every After is their best album. This Album is good and different, but Ever After man... That album resonates so strong.
I honestly can't stop listening to Astoria. It's beyond anything I've ever listened to. Well done guys!
Josh I am proud of you ❤ You decided to take your life in your own hands and canalize the energy into something awesome! No more self-destruction, and that makes you someone incredibly strong and also a model for all of us to follow
*sobbing uncontrollably*

I can clap my hands, Josh can I be in your band?
Here I am, about to go to bed and then I see this. Gosh you guys.
Did anyone else's heart slightly break when Josh started talking about his mom and his "wedding cancellation"?
Watching Josh talk about the album, and music is just so amazing. It almost makes me cry because he's just so passionate about music and he obviously loves it so much. And the whole band does. And he is so excited talking about the music and I love it so much ♥️ he is such an inspiring and passionate person and I love it. This band means so much to me and this just made it even better ♥️
josh looks so happy and excited i'm so happy for him and excited for this record
To the 9 people who disliked this video, I really think y'all need to find a heart. seriously. how can you not like this video?
"If you want to do something great, you have to swing for the fences. And if I strike out, who cares? At least you fucking took a swing. So I wanted to try for something, you know I'm looking at Thriller and Pet Sounds, and stuff that I feel are people's best work, and I want this to be my best work.

+Tori Crisologo I literally just became a fan three days ago and I can't stop listening to Ever After. It's such an amazing album, and I'm getting really into their other stuff and now I see this video - I am sooo beyond excited!!! He's so passionate and excited! :) I first heard about them because my husband is taking me to see them live in New York. :DDD
+Tori Crisologo Same. I didn't start listening to them until last June.
I've been listening and been a huge fan for the last five years or so. I'm so happy that new people are getting to know of them and become fans themselves. They honestly deserve a huge fan base
💙💙Marianas Trench!!!💙💙
"I want this to be my best work."
It was Josh, it really was.
Omg the studio version of Who Do You Love is even better than it is live. I'm so excited for this!
Honestly, Josh is such an inspiration to me. The first time I watched this video, it really struck a chord with me. His whole saying how you've got to swing for the fences, and if you strike out, who cares. At least you took a fucking swing. It just makes me realize that I need to be more outgoing about what I love and that it's ok to mess up some times. Josh has really opened my eyes to the idea of embracing what happens in life, no matter how shitty it is. And seeing how Matt, Ian and Mike have been there for him through thick and thin, helping him produce this work, even just playing video games with him, it shows me that friends are your one true love. I love this band and I'm so glad to have them as role models
I love watching him get so excited over the album. You can just tell he's so proud of his work and it makes me so happy seeing him like that.
OH MY FOD THIS IS AWESOME JUST BASED ON THE SHORT CLIPS FROM THE VIDEO IM GONNA CRY WHEN IT COMES IYT
Josh has been through so much shit. He's the guy I look up to when I know I'm going through the worst of times. He still keeps going when things get at its worst to do what HE loves. Ever since the first album I've been following and supporting the whole band. I'm proud of what they've come to; and Josh still wants his songs to have MEANING; which a lot of songs lack these days. I love you Josh, Matt, Mike and Ian. You helped me keep going.
Love,
Rola
I've been a Marianas fan for almost a decade, I remember my first concert in a theatre that only sat 600 people, they were the openers, and such wicked guys, I'm proud to be from the same city! and to see them rise, and fall hurts me in a different way then just wanting new music, hope you guys are only gonna go up from here! happpy to see you guys happy!
THIS GUY IS SO INSPIRATIONAL AND HIS ATTITUDE IS CONTAGIOUS AND I HOPE HIS MOM IS FEELING BETTER AND I THINK HE IS JUST THE MOST PRECIOUS LITTLE CINNAMON ROLL, I FREAKING SWEAR.
Sitting here, smiling and a little bit tearing up at how excited Josh looks! I think Josh is capable of anything! I can't wait for Astoria!
This band and this album (AND all the others) are truly a gift. I can listen to them over and over and over.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM TO BE RELEASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never have been so proud of a Canadian band, u are AWSOME and soo sorry about your mum, we are strong Canadians we / you can do this….You mean the world to me, u have gotten me through a lot in my life, love u all the guys🥰🥰🥰💋💋👼👼👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️❤️💖💖🙏🙏
I love Marianas Trench for many reasons, but one specifically is that they are genuinely creative when making music. Which is fairly rare nowadays in the music industry. I love it! Cant wait for this album and every other album to come!
I LOVE the enthusiasm and excitement Josh has for what he does. Now IM totally excited and cant wait for the CD to come out.
I went through a period in my life, where having internet and tv were unlikely, so i lost touch with so much including most of my music (mt included), i honestly forgot about them for so long, but this last summer (September 11th 2019) i got to see these guys Perform and honestly....Josh has brought so much light to my life in the past month, than ive seen in the last 5 years of my life and it hurts that he'll never get to know how much he, as a human, means to me 😭
Excuse me while i curl up in a ball and cry my life away
I absolutely love everything Marianas has ever done but this album is just amazing! I love every piece of music on this album.
It's adorable how excited he is when talking about the album.
i hold this band so close to my heart and i CANT WAIT for this album. you can tell how pumped josh is for it, because its so creative. im so excited.
You can just SEE the passion and creativity in his eyes and hear it in his voice. He truly is incredibly. The boys are as well but josh takes it to a new level.
Josh's excitement is so infectious!!! I love it
God damn it guys. I've been a fan since I was probably 14 or 15 in high school. I've seen them 3 times over the years. I was also so excited they were from Vancouver too and they were this special thing for me. Marianas Trench was my first favourite band that felt like my music or my stuff as opposed to my parents, etc stuff AND EVERY TIME I THINK I'M OVER YOU GUYS YA PULL ME BACK IN
I really want to see Josh and probably the rest of the band write a film score! He's so freaking good at making albums centered around a concept, and I think he's got what it takes to make one kickass movie score.
I love how passionate he is about his music and writing.
HOW I BECAME OBSESSED WITH YOU GUYS
in grade 1 or 2 I remember someone singing "take me with you I start to miss you" and I heard it on the radio a couple of times. All to myself was played a couple times, too. A couple years later I heard stutter, Fallout, Desperate Measures, and Pop 101, all on the radio. Last summer I decided to search up the title Cross my heart, and found you guys! Ever since then, my obsession with you has grown, and I'm seeing you guys in April! So excited!
im in tears JOSH STOP BEING SO PERF
i need this album in my lyfe!
+Niblik You can preorder it on the 25th and it comes out October....23rd I think :D
+Akari Uchiha THE SAME DAY 5SOS COME OUT
Jess L
I don't care for 5SoS so.... Yeh. :\
+Akari Uchiha yo, some respect tho..
Jess L
I wasn't trying to sound mean. o.e
Ahh this is why i LOVE them so much and have listen and changed with them since the beginning. Just beautiful songs with so much meaning, catchy music and talent and it just so emotional and uplifting at the same time. Cant wait!!!!
Josh sounds like he is in a better place - and I can't wait to listen to the new record and be humbly thankful Josh decided to share this with me as an individual, but with the whole world. What an inspiration to "take a swing" and do what you love. Congratulations MT.
Marianas Trench is brilliant with their music. The pieces fit together perfect & the harmonies are amazing. For people who understand music, this is a group that understands & puts feelings into words. Tera,
I think this is going to be FREAKING FANATSTIC! It is going to be so so good, with a lot of personal stories and amazing instrumental pieces
CAN'T TELL IF I SHOULD BE SUPER HAPPY BECAUSE OF THE RECORD OR SUPER SAD BECAUSE POOR JOSH BABE
Seeing how passionate Josh is about this really makes me happy, I'm so proud of him & the boys❤️
Throughout watching this, all I could do was just squeal about how cute he is! I love watching his energy and excitement about this. Being so passionate about music really makes a difference. A good difference ^_^
Aw I feel bad for Josh..
Did they call off their engagement?
I had no idea they were engaged. Josh has always kept his relationship with Amanda quiet, which is totally fine, it's his decision to make, but a few years ago on Twitter someone asked Amanda about marriage and she said they were not going to get married, so I had no idea they were engaged.
+Danika Brown sounds like it
IK RIGHT
Ciara Amanda posted a video on her personal Facebook of her with Bennie his dog in May this year are they back together ?
I CAN'T
HOLY COW
I CAN'T
I'M SO EXCITED LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE RUSH OF EMOTIONS I HAVE FROM HEARING SNIPPETS OF ASTORIA
ASDFGHJKL
his neighbor must be lucky
You all are a musical inspiration. Thank you. Thank you so much.
they deserve so much i swear this album has to come out soon like by far this is pretty much the ONLY band that I obsess over
THIS IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE!!!!
I was actually pretty skeptical of Wildfire when I heard it at the Share a Coke stage, but this little snippet of it sounds UNREAL WOW!!!!
Who Do You Love and This Means War also sound incredible. Of course. Duh.
I'm really sorry he had to go through such hard things to make this, but I know I'm incredibly excited.
The best part is literally just how excited he is about it all lmao
I absolutely LOVE how passionate and excited he is for this! You can see it in his eyes and just the way he talks and it totally warms my heart. Seeing himlike this makes me even more excited for Astoria!
Do you ever just get the shivers listening to their music orrrrrrr
Being able to watch this was honestly amazing and I feel like I got to see into something so very personal. Being able to really see how passionate Josh is and how much into this he gets was just amazing and I'm so grateful that like they did this and posted it, like I feel honored they shared this
Astoria and Ever After have to be two of my favorite albums. I love the melodies and harmonies, sounds and concepts, and the overall feel of the albums. Josh, Matt, Ian, and Mike are so talented. Listening to Josh talk about how his life kind of unfolded into the Astoria album and then listening to the songs themselves, I can really here his emotions and get an idea of what was happening at the time for him. It's amazing how he was able to do that, and I feel like I was on that journey with him and could relate with the songs. It's such a good album, and I highly recommend that people listen to it.
It's so beautiful how they really include the fans into what they're doing
He's so enthusiastic even when he talks about his problems omg.
I LOVE that he is so excited about this album that he can barely even get the words out, in spite of the sad making of story. I cannot fucking WAIT for this record. Like, dude.
I can't wait for this album to come out I love when they incorporate the orchestra into their music!!
I have been a Trench for a little over 3 years now and I have been really nervous for this new album. Josh and the guys have been there for me when life took a turn for the worst, through all the ups and downs of being alive. But when they released Pop 101 and One Love I felt this sense of fear and dread. I was scared that they were going what was popular and that they lost what truly made them great, but now that I watched this video, I am no longer scared. I know that it will be great and I know that these boys have put their blood, sweat and tears on these tracks and for the first time in a long time I feel connected to the band. I CANNOT wait for Astoria and to see all the great things that will come with it.
*trencher
Bless you Josh! I am so excited for this album! I'm happy that you were able to find your passion again. Marianas Trench has changed my life
watching josh talk about his music is so inspiring because he's so fucking passionate and I love it.
He's just so excited and it's adorable, I love it! just all his passion, I can't wait!

Matt is so adorable.
Oh and *I CAN'T WAIT FOR WHO DO YOU LOVE*
Seriously FREAKING OUT because of the Goonies thing!!!😱👍🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👊🏼😆
I seriously cannot wait for this album. All your songs help me conquer every obstacle that gets in my way. I love you guys!
His enthusiasm is contagious.
When the guy writing the songs looks like he's going into a mad scientist spiral about a certain album then you know its gonna be an amazing album. you can practically see the thoughts and ideas crowding around in Josh's brain... and its beautiful
This just makes my home state of Oregon even more special to me!
Oh my god!!! It is the clip song! The one I keep on repeat all the time!!!! I love it
This is everything that I want and need and I am so happy that this music exists.
I was literally shouting and screaming this whole video!!! I'm so excited for the album...there's been a dull in new music that's good and I've been growing impatient! But now like 3 albums are coming out in like the same month that I'm so excited for and happy to say Astoria is one of them!!!! Can't wait!! Ughhhh hurry up already haha!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!
