A decade later this is still one of my favorite live recordings ever
agree!
hope for post-rock is forever alive
This is my all time favorite song and this is my favorite version of this song
We sat in silence.
I spoke of leaving.
And from the floor, I tried to crawl away
with my arms all but succeeding.
I'll water your grave and watch it grow
into a bed of lies you sewed in life
living long after you are gone.
All in all, we're dust and bone
so we'll dig our graves before we're old enough to
lie in them.
We'll spread our ash amongst the dirt
to soil the seed that breeds the earth
so we can live again.
So wait for me to bloom. x2
Stay.
We're a garden fed from the blood
left in your veins
So stay with me or I'll shrivel and dry out.
Wait for me to bloom.
Stay.
We're a garden fed from the blood
left in your veins
So stay with me or I'll shrivel and dry out.
Stay.Stay. Stay.
This band has the coolest bassist on earth. Hands down.
I agree completly
Words cannot describe how much i agree with you
His name is Anton, super cool guy! My friend, one of his old bandmates from back in hs, and i went to one of their shows in atlanta to lend him a head for his bass cabinet. Got to shake his hand and everything, it was awesome.
I work with Anton at a Dog daycare in chicago. Can confirm he is super cool.
No shit! Jealous....he works at a dog daycare?! haha dope.
My god, the chorus gives me goosebumps every single time!
I saw these guys live last year, and this video does them no justice.
Actually being there and experiencing everything all at once is surreal. Tanner's voice is bone rattling, and I'm extremely happy that we've held a conversation.
These guys are amazing, and some of the sweetest bunch you'll ever meet.
@ Ena Mullen ..... I, too, had the Pleasure of speaking with Tanner in 2011 when they opened for Circa Survive. He is like this sweet looking CHERUB but he has SUCH STRENGTH of EMOTION behind that voice. It's incredible to witness that come out of him on stage. Can't Wait until I get to see them again ..... Already seen them 6 times, I think 🤔❓ Mostly on tour with THRICE
The whole band is the coolest and so under the radar. So much talent.
how are there only this many views.. I can just cry right now cause there are people out there who have no idea they exist
So glad I subscribed to Audiotree.
Amazing!!
Olha só! Charles curtindo O'Brother
one of the best bands out there, CANNOT WAIT for their London date this year, finally get to see them
Listen again after 5 years! Gives me good vibe!
Blown away when I saw them at the Circa show. Felt like I was in a different world and everyone was hypnotized by their music.
Hola Soy de argentina. Un Grupo Así es lo que le falta a este mundo. Son muy muy Grandes!!!!!
I too saw them two days in a row open for Thrice and they impressed me more than any opening act I have ever seen. Their intensity and passion is so clear. I wasn't a fan before but now I've seen the error of my ways.
this band continues to help save my life and I'm forever thankful
Such a good show last night with Chevelle.. these guys need to be bigger.
They are soooo sooo soo soo soo good!!!!!!!!
My favorite AudioTree session... I've been watching this everyday, multiple times a day.. for a very long time. haha
And have recommended this too so many people, and they fucking love it!!!!
Saw them live last year... BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.
Saw this band at an As Cities Burn reunion show in New Orleans.They blew the walls down.Great live act.
Can't even count how many times I've watched this session
Playing the electric bass with a bow! Cool stuff. Now I have three songs to learn and out in my cover line up.
Anecdote Alert. I apologize in advance.
The first time I had ever heard of O'brother was when they were featured in the "Stunts" video that Manchester Orchestra put on their UA-cam Channel. My (still apparent) infatuation with the former band lead me to do some research into O'Brother. I found out that they were signed to Manchester's label, favorite gentleman, and my immediate thought was something like: "Well if Andy Hull likes them, so will I." Little did I know, when I clicked on this very thumbnail back in 2013, that this band would become much more to me than my previous conjecture would have suggested. Much of the reason for that was this exact song and this exact performance. This was the first O'Bro song I ever heard, and this was the first version of that song I ever heard. It quickly became not only my favorite song by the band, but of all time, and has remained such for the past four years. The masterful building of tension and suspense with the effectively layered guitar work, coupled with a turmoil and a distress that is uncommon, even in this style of music sometimes, was such a rare find to me, and it is a composition I can analytically and emotionally immerse myself in. This single song has influenced the way I listen to music as well the way I write music to a degree that I have difficulty fully explaining.
I've seen them live three times, each for a very different set of bands. I have seen them headline a show locally. They played Ascension that night, but due to my young age (and perturbed parents) I had to leave early, right before they played this exact song. I vividly remember recognizing Anton (the bassist) before the show began at the merch table, and going up to talk to him. Ascension was still on the brain at this point and I told him, with utter honesty that the song was "my favorite song right now". Had I only known how long that very phenomena would have lasted. I saw them again later that year, opening for Manchester Orchestra. In support of a new album, they did not play Ascension, but I was still just as impressed with their live show as the first time I saw them. And sure enough, Anton manned the merchandise table at that show as well. I again, had another chat with him. Last Tuesday, I saw Dillinger Escape Plan on their final tour, and was ecstatic to learn O'brother was opening. When I walked into the venue, sure enough, Anton was chillin' at the merch table once again. I was quick to start another brief conversation with him before walking into the main staging area. I complimented him and the band on their versatility, in that they can play shows with almost any rock artist and still fit. They have a style that is truly their own with pleasant idiosyncrasies that make their music both interesting and accessible. That night, they played a great set, as usual, pulling mainly from their albums Endless Light and Garden Window (which turned five years old that day). During their sound check, their drummer played the linear groove from "Ascension" (2:45) and I couldn't help but smile. That was partially how I remembered this video. It all came full circle. Point being, it's funny how one song or one performance or one video can shape one's interest so much over time. Ascension was that song for me.
thats sick.
So sick man. I feel the same way with Cleanse me. Changed my life.
I've been coming back time and time again to this video for a full decade 🥲
just saw them on saturday on chicago... was completely blown away to saw the least. one of the best shows i've been to in a while
Please don't ever let this video come down, it's so good. and I can't stop watching it through the months.
i saw them Live with Circa they're awesome live
Where at? i saw them last year at LA Live
Nyc
Yup, Dallas TX here. Badass show.
That must've been a great show. Sucks I missed it :(
This band was one of the best shows i've ever seen in my life, So heavy yet so beautiful. It was incredible.
So intense. I absolutely LOVE it.
The feels... the feeeeeeeeeellllllsss!!
My favorite video ever
I've seen them live, opening to dillinger escape plan, great show.
I
Love
Thanks
I
Lo
This is one of those bands that when I hear them, I break down. Every song is so emotional and beautiful its honestly perfection.
Seen these guy's 3 times total, twice with Thrice....anyone, hah! Thrice is also really amazing and I thank them for touring with O'brother, and introducing them to so many people! They are becoming more popular which is much deserved! As said before chill dudes, extraordinary musicians keep it up!
Actually found out about these guys because of Thrice too. Talked to Riley after a show and he told me to check out their Death of a Day EP which was free and my favourite EP of 2009. Been a fan since! They play amazing.
That's awesome, gotta love the support! Have you checked out Tanner's Acoustic videos recorded in that abandon pool!? If not do so immediately!
I love the camera work. It complements the music very well. I'm definitely going to be looking into these guys more.
Luv, Love, LOVE these guys !!!!!
saw them at the violent waves tour. they gave me the freaking chills.
Just found out these guys are playing at Reading & Leeds Festivals this year. I've been waiting about a year to see them, I'm so excited!
Saw these guys live with Manchester Orchestra, it was a great time. Love Manchester and really dig these guys!
This band gave and still gives me a lot of inspiration to create music. They are absolutely incredible. Hope one day I'll be able to see them at live performance!
I need more O'Brother in my life. MO'Brother!
Found them out in Georgia, playing before Thrice and after La Dispute. This is so fucking good man, love this band.
Remember listening to this when it has just a couple of thousand views and loved it. Watching it now it reminds me of Thrice which are one of my favourites. Gunna check out these dudes!
Coming all the way from Sydney to see the october 7th show. Then get to see them again at soundwave. So keen!
Sunday night was my first time listening to them and all I've got to say is I can't wait to see them again tomorrow night!
Also saw them in Norfolk. They were friggin awesome live! Nothing better than seeing a great opener you've never heard of before!
just saw em last night. such a good show
Thanks for the suggestion. Go back to Sessions section of the Audiotree website.
In the top right above the first row of sessions there are search filters for finding bands via Genre. or by State.
O'Brother is from Atlanta so filter Audiotree sessions from Georgia. Hope that helps !!

i totally agree they are really great from the three of the opening bands they were the best not many opening abands can catch my attention. following this band for sure!!
So I saw them on the 14th and they completely blew me away.
It was awesome guys! Thank you again.
you will enjoy every moment of them live. I saw them in Philly last time around. Amazing live!
Saw these guys last year when they opened for Thrice and they blew me away. so good live
saw them in buffalo, too. blew me away.
Still listening to obrother . .
Absolutely incredible.
Woah this is crazy :o love it.
first three notes... shivers down my spine. As Thrice leaves for a while, these guys enter my life.
I usually don't like dudes that sound like guys when they sing, but, dang, these guys move me on a whole other level. This is as real as rock music gets. Take my money please! You deserve it!
Cody Kirkham You don't like dudes that sound like guys when they sing? What do you typically seek from dude vocalists?
I like Anthony Green, Kellin Quinn, Donovan Melero, et cetera. I'm more into high voices, I feel it more. You see?
+PatFreakinRick From what I'm getting at, I think he's saying male singers that try to sound manly when they sing which sometimes hinders the music. These dude has a manly yell/sing thing when the chorus opens up, but it really works for them.
I feel the same way about screamo vocals. I don't love metal and a lot of times the screaming sounds really low and manly or something, but one band I'm very fond of called Exotic Animal Petting Zoo has vocals that just focus on raw emotion and aren't obscure noises
Saw these guys open for Thrice with MovMou and La Dispute, Movmou and these guys were easily in the top 5 bands I've ever seen live, amazing show. Now that Thrice is on hiatus, I have these guys to look forward to..
just saw them open for dilingers last tour. FUCKING INCREDIBLE LIVE
I hope I get the chance to see these punks live in Atlanta at Music Midtown this September. Wicked Stuff.
Thank you for an amazing performance at nj and the broken drumstick I'll cherished it forever (:
AMAZING VOICE! This Whole Band Is Epic!
Still Listening
Still Listening
Great music and super cool guys as well. It's always refreshing to find out the people who make the music you love are also genuinely nice people as well.
Thanks to Thrice concerts I started listening to o'brother and The Dear Hunter, two amazing bands. I think I heard Riley say they try to tour with bands they all enjoy listening to. Another reason to be grateful for Thrice.
Saw them tonight in Pomona, They were so good.
I saw that concert tonight. It was awesome!!
same dude im seeing them in NYC on may 24th. this shit is pretty sweet im psyched for it
Wow how are these guys not more well known
me too! They were great!
Saw these guys with Animals as Leaders and Thrice last night. Though I went for AAL, I'm really happy these guys went on. One of the heaviest live performances I've ever seen. Listening to them on their CD just doesn't do it justice. I recommend you see them live if you get the chance.
You guys are amazing! I was sooo bummed not to see y'all returning to San Antonio Rock Fest this year! Y'all were sweating your asses off here in Texas!
saw these guys last night, that being my first listen and I really enjoyed em. I kinda fell in love with their long hair too
Me too! So excited!
I saw them with Thrice and Animals As Leaders on June 14th.. they were freakin amazing!!! They all were!! :D
Just saw these guys open for Thrice.... mega talented! This could be one of the best up and coming bands to keep an eye on over the next couple years!
amazing... love it !
Don't know if you saw them yet, but they are very impressive live. Love their use of percussion, low driving riffs, and haunting vocals. Pretty sweet band. I've become a fan of tons of different bands thanks to Thrice concerts.
Exactly why im here checkin them out too lol
getting to see these guy in Houston Tx with The sword
They were great live. I saw them a couple of years ago..
epic facial expressions haha. this band is truly amazing and i look forward to being a devoted fan for the years to come
Just saw these guys tonight for the first time, blew me fucking away. They were like a mix between deep purple and radiohead and i didn't want them to stop playing. Fucking loved it
Never heard of these guys, going to see them with AAL & Thrice this Saturday. Glad I looked them up, should be great live!
I saw them tonight, they give one hell of a show!
saw them live last night with la dispute! they fucking rocked!
Nah mate, I saw them the night before at Leeds, I have no doubts that they were just as intense for you though!
saw them live a few weeks ago in stl. they're insane. absolutely a live band,
i love the new intro! nice to see more people getting into this band at last.
Soundwave + sidewave with The Dear Hunter AND they played this song. Epic show. Would have loved a longer set, but more happy I got to see them at all.
Just saw them a few hours ago!
you Audiotree guys are always getting the best sounds from this great bands, i really admire what you do : ) Keep it in that way `cause you`re awesome.
About O`brother, man... this song blow my mind at 3:32! that guys have something good that everyone need to hear.
Saw you guys live at Soundwave perth. you rocked.
Definitely a band i'll be looking out for.
Sharing your songs with everyone i know
Thank you o'brother, the shit I'm going through doesn't stand a chance when I'm listening to this!!!
I knew Chi Cheng wasn't dead.
I learn more listening to this song then in school.
As of now, I'm going to see these guys...
i love this band, espercially their drummer
I feel sad I can't see them again in Toronto or Quebec :( They aren't coming this tour.
