This DDD is a big one for reasons that become clear about 1 min and 10 sec in. It was an absolute dream to do and I hope you really enjoy it (also captions will be up soon as always)
You shoud do a deep discount dive for All Time Low.
do a Deep Discog Dive of Red Hot Chili Peppers
congrats on being able to interview the group! do you think you'd be able to talk to other artists again for DDD?
deep discog discertation
I am betting he’s gonna start an interview channel.
Also here’s some DDD ideas,
-Katy Perry
-Aaliyah, (not the best story, but oh well, she only has 3 albums.)
-Otis Redding
-Jimi Hendrix
-Crazy Frog
-Papa Roach
-MC Hammer
-Ice Cube
-Kanye West (redo)
-Pharrell Williams
Welcome to the deep discog dive where I watch a fella on the internet talk about a band I’ve never heard of for half an hour
Then getting obsessed with it. I got into Radiohead, Aphex Twin, Beatles and Björk from these series.
Half an hour? Usually longer! And good, I could listen to mic talk all day!
Yes, me too
and for the first time: talk TO the band i've never heard of
Same
if the separate interview isnt called the Deep Discog Dive Discussion or something along those lines ill be sorely disappointed
hej yotie twin :)
Guess youll be deep discog disappointed huh....😏 Sorry
Dang, is this the 'smallest' artist covered on DDD yet? Only 170K listeners on spotify, which is about the size of most bands who make it big enough to be known out of their hometown. Love it!
Yep! And I think it’s the newest debuting act covered
the only deep discog dive artist i ever saw in an attic that's for sure
Homer: “And who could forget dear Rat Boy?”
Bart: “Rat Boy? I resent that!”
Bart I told you before, stop gnawing on the drywall.
Not nearly enough people talking about Ratboys. This is why Mic is the GOAT. Thank you Mic the Snare 😊
Wrote this before I saw that he INTERVIEWED THEM! MIC. DOES. NOT. MISS.
Saw them back in 2018 with soccer mommy at a small venue. Vibes were top tier
This is the first DDD for an artist I've never heard of before, looking forward to this!
It makes me unreasonably happy to see that Neil Cicierega is in the Deep Discog Decision
Love this format. Could be a cool on and off thing where one DDD is the normal format and the next one is a smaller band done like this.
I would love that!!!!!
I was introduced to Ratboys when I saw them open for PUP in 2017, imagine my smile when I saw this video pop up!! Thank you Mr. The Snare!! This is so wonderful
Super excited to see this huge step forward for the DDD! Can’t wait for Crazy Frog interview, I need to know how Axel F came to be!
Saw Ratboys open for pup in 2019 and been a huge fan ever since. Glad the group is getting some love!
oh man, PUP is unreal. If they endorse this band, I gotta check 'em out
I first got to know Ratboys when they were opening for Julien Baker in 2022. The day before the show, the drummer fell and broke his arm so Julia got up alone and played their set just her with a guitar! It turned into more of an acoustic vibe and sounded so good and I became an instant fan!
MicTheSnare's joy throughout this entire video, whether he is talking to the band or not is so wholesome I just love it here !
excited for you covering and interviewing more indie rock bands like this. Fingers crossed you'll cover the Beths at one point.
So glad you did this DDD. Ratboys are amazing and deserve more recognition. I'll admit I haven't gone and listened to their back catalog yet but The Window was my favorite album of 2023 and in contention for my top 100 albums of all time list I've been working on.
I grew up an hour away from Chicago, so to see giardiniera be a topic on this show is hilarious.
Mic The Snare gets an Albany reference in every video, and I love it.
Ah yes, the long awaited Mic pizza review
Damnnnn the ratboys are fans of the channel. Me too. Good job on the collab
My dad and I have always bonded over music, mostly through him introducing me to music he liked. Ratboys is the first band I played for him that he’d never heard of before, and when The Window released we listened to it together. Happy they’re getting a DDD to themselves :)
i love these deep dives i've listened to almost nothing but hardcore and metal for most of my life so i've been some new things i can already tell i'm going to enjoy my new spring band ratboys!
The thing this wonderful video doesn't touch on is how amazing they are as a live act. They just have this chemistry that few bands have live where they are faithful to the songs but play with a looseness and trust in each other that is rare these days. And then you have the stage banter which is among the best. Every time I've seen them over the years (3 times) they are great.
UNEXPECTED but appreciated!!! I listened to The Window because of its honorable mention on your top 10 list of last year so I am. Excited
Congrats on the interview Mr. The Snare!! Hyped for the rest of this DDD
I haven't heard of these guy before but they seem lovely!! Another great DDD and adding the interview element was great
It's awesome that you had the opportunity to interview them for this... leveling up bro, as if you needed to 👏
It's so cool that you were able to do that!! I'd love for this to appear more in DDDs in the future, but I doubt that too many will happen.
Been watching since pretty much the start and am so happy to see how much you've improved over the years even introducing me to new bands I never heard of!
Also as someone from Chicago it was very funny watching you eat that pizza lmao
I’m opening for them in a couple weeks and I’m so damn excited
Happy for you man
I’m from Chicago, play in some local bands, and know lots of local bands yet I somehow never heard of this one. Probably because I was in college when they were starting to gain traction. Thanks for educating me on another one of our hometown heroes!
(Also you’d love Chicago if you ever had a chance to visit!)
Great prelude to the wilco DDD🥺
True story: I had never heard of Ratboys. Five minutes into this video, I was like “oh this definitely sounds like my jam.” So I paused the video and spent the next few hours listening to their entire discography. I love these guys, I like every song they’ve ever made. I might go to a Ratboys concert in a month.
What I’m saying is, your master plan is working, Mic.
yooooo! I am stoked for you to be able to interview the band while you do this retrospective. Ratboys are really underappreciated and I hope this turns more people on to them. I love seeing you cover some smaller artists with this much depth!
The Snare has blessed us once again with quality content!
I like this as a new approach to the DDD format! the insights from the interview are great, it's shining a light on current artists who haven't been given the same level of spotlight as Bowie or Fleetwood Mac.
but also 21:08 NEARER MY GOD MENTIONED. automatically best DDD yet.
Oh hey, ill be seeing them open for the Decemberists in may, great timing Mic! Thanks for making this vid to help me specifically better understand their music before seeing them live!
My band opened for them at the Sofar show at 10:06!!! They were amazing!! I bought their last vinyl copy of their debut from them. Coolest boys/rats
MIC THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFEEEEEE
Thank you so much Mic for this video, I instantly fell in love with the band and was so happy to see that not only are they touring in the UK, they're coming to my city! I don't ever think I've bought gig tickets so fast. Bring on June!
They’re coming to Pittsburgh this May, and this video inspired me to get tickets! I’ve liked a handful of songs of theirs for a while, but never gave the whole catalog a listen until last week after starting this video. I paused it, and now after finishing all the albums, came back to finish lol
I saw them open for PUP in 2019 with my husband, and immediately fell in love with them. Been following them since then. My husband passed in October of last year, and their album The Window has been profoundly important to me through my grief journey. The Window is basically the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Really glad you deep dived into them, an amazing and well deserving band.
RATBOYS RATBOYS RATBOYS
This is so rad! I've been getting into Ratboys ever since you put them on your year end list
It’s about time Mr. Snare for a movie length ddd again! Gotta do Johnny Cash or Bob Dylan!!
Nice! Hands down one of my top five favorite bands, so glad to see some recognition here. Well deserved!
What ab absolute treat that you actually got to speak with the subject of the DDD! Im not expecting this to be a regular thing but i would love it to happen again
Ha! Got my Decemberists tickets already and completely forgot Ratboys were opening….
Also the Decemberists wouldn’t be bad for a future dive.
I can now go from The Window to The Wall! DDD, Pink Floyd, and Ratboys coming in clutch.
I didn't realize it had been a month since the last DDD. This was a cool vid! Bravo, Mic!
I saw them live twice in 2022 supporting Julien Baker in London and it was great fun, the story before they played Elvis is in the Freezer was both sad and hillarious.
i saw them open for julien baker in glasgow and im honestly so jazzed so see them get this recognition
I saw Ratboys announced as coming to one of my local venues, The Bug Jar, and kind of forgot to check them out. After watching this and listening to The Window, I'm totally going to the show in 2 weeks
Didn't expect this! Really love these guys
down the river was one of my most listened to songs last year but your enthusiasm makes me real excited to listen to them more. what a fun band 🐀🐀🐀
Was able to see them at the Duck Room in St. Louis when my girlfriend and me first started dating. One of my favorite shows and their new stuff still rips
I found The Window a few months ago and have been really enjoying it, definitely going to have to go back through the older stuff now!
Hi, Mic. Quick question: WHEN WILL WE BE GRACED WITH THE TALKING HEADS DDD?
This was the coolest thing I've seen all year
I just about jumped out of my seat when you mentioned two songs from The Windows on the 2023 songs of year -- can't think of a band that deserves this more. Hope they blow up!
just got my ticket to see them Saturday, I had only heard I Go Out at Night prior to this vid, thanks man
Hey, I'm seeing them in a couple weeks in NC! Can't wait for the show!
Never heard of ratboys but its still a mic vid so it will be good. (I was so convinced this was red hot chili peppers and now im sad it wasnt 😞)
YES!! i love them, so glad to see this
I would love to see a DDD on Foxing! Was really cool to hear them mentioned!!
I discovered these guys back in january and i love The Window so much
I just rewatched your Now and Then video and when you talk about the little guitar fill and you swear you have heard it in another Beatles song, I think I know the song you are thinking of. I sounds like the start of the album version of the Let It Be solo
I genuinely can’t remember if I have heard of this band. Still going to love the video!
Man, this DDD is so amazing!!!
Scoped out this band after they were featured in your year-end videos, and they were pleasant to listen to. Great rec.
The Window is such an amazing record. I could listen to “Black Rock, WI” every day for the rest of my life and be happy with it. Hoping to catch the band on their tour with Ducks Ltd!
It's so cool I've been seeing Ratboys everywhere recently because they recently did a tour in Japan and were shouted out by one of my favorite Japanese bands
OMG! My band when we were still around got to open for them and Wild Pink in 2021 in phoenix and they were the coolest people! One of my favorite shows we ever did! Glad to see them have their own deep dive!!
Oh my, they are so genuinely nice! Also, thanks.. I have a new group to listen to and get into now!
I absolutely love this format. Major props for checking out Dan Ozzi’s interview with Julia. He’s one of the best music writers working today. Well done Mr Michael Snare
This is interesting, bringing attention to still active musicians who could use a push. Supporting the industry 💪
They sound great thanks mic
OMG I JUST found Ratboys on Spotify, and then you drop this! So cool you got to talk to them! :)
Thank you for introducing me to this band! I’ll have to check them out sometime when I am sick of listening to metal, which is rarely, but it does happen.
Being to Whiskey tasting and a new Deep Discog Dive video .. what not to ❤️…!
Love the format! You should get Vulfpeck on next
This is a pleasant surprise goddamn
Saw Ratboys in my home town of Copenhagen, when they were supporting Julien Baker on her last european tour (before boygenius reunion). Didn't know them at all but became an instant fan that night! Such a charming and cool live show they have. And great songs!
Hi Mic! Love your channel! Please do a DDD on Aimee Mann, one of my favorite songwriters. Perhaps she might be willing to be interviewed as well? 🤞
Great deep dive! Super cool you got to chat with them. Saw them live opening for Julien Baker and they blew me away. Dove straight into The Window thereafter and enjoyed the hell out of it.
Congratulations on becoming an honorary Chicagoan! Perhaps I'm biased, but I think you'd fit right in ☺️
What a cool DDD! My brother was also deep in the Chicago music scene in the mid-to-late 2010s (he's now in the Portland scene) so I wouldn't be surprised if he's crossed paths with Ratboys. Also, after thoroughly enjoying all the clips you've played here, I've now been inspired to dive into my local music scene. Chicago has produced some incredible names and it's about time I start supporting the up-and-comers too. Can't wait to see where else this series takes you--I'm sure this is just the beginning of some exceptional things! 😊🎉
Love that your as obsessed with this band as me
Damn, cannot believe I missed the shows at Shrek's Swamp and Rollercoaster Tycoon. Banger venues
The window was one of my absolute favorite albums from last year, I sing the title track to myself all the fn time
I have never heard of the band and thought you were talking about the "Other Ratboy" band you mentioned off hand that I loved in High school
i also would love more interviews
Wow, thanks for introducing me to a new band!
An idea for the next DDD: The Drums. Haven't realized they have a lot of albums
I'm just now realizing I know and love most of these records? Also realizing ratboys was consistently a part of the soundtrack of my college years
God the Window did NUMBERS to my psyche. Absolute stand out
Would love a Deftones Deep Discog Dive, AKA the D4.
13:05 yooooo LSDJ is awesome
the original is a Gameboy cartridge that lets you use the Gameboy's 4-bit chiptune sound chip as a synth, and it has an output jack on the cartridge to upload your creations to a computer
Would love to see a discography deep dive on No Doubt (they only had a few albums). Nice video btw
saw them open for julien baker in 2022 and i've been a fan ever since, so happy to see them highlighted here!
Shoutouts to RB4 for adding Black Earth, WI as free DLC so I somehow knew this band when this video popped up onto my feed
