Been following these guys since I saw them in 2013 open for Joyce Manor, TWIABP and Dads. Nicest dudes, got vinyl from them and everything. So cool they're getting some recognition.
They run their social media like they're still together. Kinda weird to see them (or whoever runs it) be so nostalgic about a band that broke up like a year ago.
Pavement, Built to Spill, Hum, Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh and Codeine all wrapped up into one nice package. For those of you haven't heard some of these bands listed, please check them out. Rad!
im enjoying this just cant get past the vocal mix, is it low because they are not that great at singing. Turn it up. let us decide. Otherwise excellent band.
jason mastrandrea yea man kexp has sucked at mixing the audio in that new room they are using, need to go back to that closet space they were using (plus it had more character)
Ars Poetica I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that the bass player/singer Nick makes a lot of pedals himself that they use. Fuzz included. He sells them on his facebook or twitter I believe.
Kick drum and bass are lacking. Kinda lessens the power their sound can have. Though, I do understand how hard it can be to get good live mixes, especially with level changes due to pedals and such.
![LVL UP - Return to Love [FULL ALBUM STREAM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kLnFiY4tiYs/mqdefault.jpg)
Years later and Return to Love is still one of my favorite albums ever. Such an underrated band.
So cool! Man, I wish these dudes were still making music! ❤
the three main songwriters all have solo projects worth checking out!

Jake D it's funny they were opening for those bands since they're better than all of them.
Saw them live in SF.. such amazing performers. Sad to see them go their separate ways.. one of my all time favorites.

Lots of Neutral Milk Hotel in their sound as well.
Pixies too
Good stuff dudes, keepin that chill but skilled college feel alive
what a special band!! so excited to see them go places!!
finaly found these guys , had heard , it was worth it !! PAIN BEST SONG
Hell yeah. Good stuff right here.
Thank you college radio for helping me find these guys.
The Elliott homage he put in Pain was great.
RIP LVL UP :(
Rickenbacker guitar dude rules, his songs slay
Trace Mountains dude!
I wish the mixing and audio levels were done better. They get so much power from Nick's bass and it's not loud enough! This band is fantastic anyways.
Are you listening through laptop speakers or something? Pretty loud through my sub.
Francis Locrius Nah. I'm using some bose headphones. Admittedly, these don't have a lot of bass.
Jackson Aldridge it's not you man, the mixes have sounded like shit ever since they started using the bigger performance room.
The Media Splash Oh well. Doesn't do them justice, but it's still good.
I hate that I am late to finding these guys...they rock! Thanks✌
This sounds BETTER than the record! Holy fuck, that was great.
Sooooo good
sounds like the dude was deeply influenced by Elliott Smith's Roman Candle on their track Pain
that snare sounds so damn good
These guys are REALLY good.. 😳
This is 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
They really hace a good sound👏 a little bit grunge
so fucking sick
When they play with there pedals is awesome, then when all the noise clears,he starts to sing ~I dont know ~~what I'm lookin' fororor~~~
Lol!!!
Yes
heck ya

What pedal are they using to get that crunchy guitar sound (specially on the rickenbacker in spirit was)?
Ars Poetica I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that the bass player/singer Nick makes a lot of pedals himself that they use. Fuzz included. He sells them on his facebook or twitter I believe.
Adding some detail to Jackson's reply: spiritwas.tumblr.com/shop At least a handful of their pedals are these custom-made by bassist Nick Corbo.
came here because of Ought
What's that little box the drummer was using?
Matt pocket piano
how old are these dudes?
@lvl up wanna play a basement show in Maine?
they are signed to fucking sub pop they don't have to play basement shows anymore
firegirk121 hush. If I was them I'd miss basement shows, I think they're the most magical out of all venues
lol basements shows
hold a special place in my heart as well
Thomas I played a basement show w the drummer way back in 2009 where we went to school together!
@@aliens106 Fredonia? What band?

Better Yuck. Like Yuck but just that little bit better. A lvl up from Yuck
A band named LVL UP and they aren't chiptune. Try again, mates.
atomicbrain9401 try get olde/second wind by crying the band that bassist is in as well n fall in luv
atomicbrain9401 hey they used a pocket piano by critter & guitari at least !
And these guys are amazing
oh hey chase hows it goin whatta cool vid huh
oh hey FPR! very coolio!
I do love their albums, but to be honest, they're not very good at live performance.
elevator operator it's not them, kexp performances have sounded like shit since they got that new room for the sessions
have you ever seen them live? i saw them in like 2013 or 2014 and they were pretty amazing...
