[int3rgalactic44]

[andythrash]

[gypsygirl731]

well at age 8 there is quinn sullivan awesome guitarist who played with buddy guy an then there was randy mcstine who at age 14 was great and also as a teen there was jonny lang so this guy is right up there with them all

[MentalTeleprosy]

I dig it. If you need a manager, let me know. Or a promotions department. Or a salesman. Or a guitarist, or drummer, or keyboardist or kazoo. Don't run away. Break her ankle Jill. Jack just stood there. Run away!

[The777striker777]

that was sick!

[Redsox07rbeast]

hey quick question… how do you record live so well….

Whenever my band has done it it just sounds terrible so

Any tips?

[gratefuldeadgirl89]

you guys are great.. have you ever heard of toubab krewe? your rhythms and tunes sound very similar to there style but with your own twist!... Total compliment!

[steveony59]

GREAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rejectdoll]

[famoustourist]

young money

[benjiboy576]

in the words of Micky Redmond... Holy Moly

you guys kick ass, can't wait to see you in concert in the near future

[MrStinkbutt1234]

If this is the Mclovins from Connecticut, you guys are great! I think that you guys should go on tour

[Bpdaze420]

this is mindblowin cant stop listening to all your guys songs. hope to see in concert .

[sk8ncheez]

i held in my poo so i could finish listening to this. lemme tell u, it was fukin worth it.

[rentashoo]

A mix of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish, and a bit of Sublime. Except there still in high school.

[LongBeachJ]

You guys are great. Keep it up!!!

[TimHoffman74]

Holy shit you guys were jamming the fuck out man, mad props yo!

[shadtek]

The little guy on the lead guitar is awesome.

[Croutonza]

that sounds nice....makes you want to boogie down

[mchadeath]

and omg he worked in and out of that tweezer tease with ease.

[mchadeath]

no way for like the thousandth comment tonight. my face is melting and im not tripping yet

[srp127]

awesome guitar solo..just incredible..not to take anything away from the rest of the band though...it makes me sad that the music industry doesn't like talent anymore because these kids have more talent than anyone out there...fucking music industry being all about pop and marketability pisses me off

[lannythomas28]

5:05 TWEEZER!!!

[yaboifizzfresh]

bomb purple nugs

[juanjg563752]

oh and amazing guitar solo dude your amazing the effets sound professional with the  s

ong

[juanjg563752]

i love this song i also play guitar but i have no videos there stupid and there from when i was in 7th grade soi was stupid

[phunkyphish1]

you forgot phish hiemtime, they are obviously into phish you can tell by the style they play ,,,mmmmm phish, i feel its a phish moe style with a twist of hendrix and ambiance of the dead ,, lol anyway ,, well done boys

[PoposNewGuitarChan]

@phunkyphish1

and a little bit of chili peppers too

[phunkyphish1]

hell yeah they should play moe.down or gathering of the vibes for sure !!! ill see em

[optionaxis]

Fucking sick jam in the middle. I like the tiny second 3 second trey tease in the middle.

Just nuts though. Unique style. Your all amazing. In 5 years you guys are going to be right in the front of the jam scene.

Do you play any fests? I'm sure you've hit vibes. you guys should check out moe.down. The bill usually includes some bands most people have never heard of that can kill it, and you guys kill it.

[auburniscrucial10]

sounds good

[JsSoldier]

I no the guy playin the guitar he's my dads friends son and I love this song Mclovins rock

[heimtime3]

their sound is like a jimi hendrix and grateful dead sandwich with mayo and colby jack on soardough

[cheesit88]

sooo kool

\

[cheesit88]

Awesome

[SharpMLSshootr21]

there now on itunes...check em out

[tambuorineman]

simply fantastic, in fact holy shit , big phish phan here and ive been waiting for musis like this to retutn it brings me back to when jambands were jambands man ,, dooooont go comercial , and keep up the work boys hell of a job,,hats off

[optionaxis]

Same here! People who say good music is dead are wrong! This gives me so much more hope for the future.

Refreshing. These guys throw down for sure

[popomczowzow]

sounds like btw/SA era chili peppers

[mlgrippi]

really waiting for these guys to tour California

[guifid1]

I agree with everything jbgsk said

and the guitar player is awesome!

[optionaxis]

But you have to realize the talent from all of them. There's some nasty bass lines. Aslo the drummer is really good with switching up rhythms and time sig. He has a mistake here and there but the overall quality is just insane.

Can't wait for you guys to blow up

[jbgsk]

FINALLY!!!

The return of a band that has LONG jams between lyrics!!!

A bass that isn't simply playing a lower version of the guitar, but an original line!!!

And they still have YEARS in front of them to grow even more!!!

[drummerboi420]

HOLY SHIT THESE GUYS ARE DA EFFIN BOMB

[mlgrippi]

Can't wait to start seeing these guys live in a few years

[MightyPurpleFan]

What the???  This blew my mind! All the McLovin stuff is kickbuttgoodness! You're not PHISH... Your McLovin's... keeping that in mind will keep your originals in clear focus... It's not false to say that... while keeping your heads cool... this could be the next super trio...

[jbgsk]

Agreed, except I think they already are the next super trio!!!

[SHiFTDSG]

killer jam!

[Tiedye2112]

Awesome song - it has a real nice groove. You guys have a unique sound that reminds me a tad of the Chili Peppers and Grand Funk Railroad, among others. Good stuff

[BAkid94]

this song is so good, and crazy to think that the guitarist goes to my school

[mouse743]

get his autograph now

[ledzep6995]

jeff is awesome. I know him too... nicest kid ever, and probably the greatest 14 year old guitarist who ever lived.

[1313silverscreen1313]

Great job on this rly great and yah it does remind me of the chilis Keep doing what ur doing!!!!!!! - chilis 4 ever also your drummer kix ass with drumming and singing

[Azwethinkweiz667]

have you ever heard of this band called Phish?

[scooter3036295]

that one kid in the glasses is hot. and the music is sick

[jamietrhcp17]

Keep it up, you guys are insanely good.

[bradrulz1973]

Forget covers these guys should focus their energy on making more originals like this.

[Mgold420]

you guys are seriously fucking talented and you should cover some slightly stoopid bc the music in this song is like slightly stoopid combined with RHCP vocals

and you should do a cover of grateful deads brown eyed woman version

(van morrison did the original one)

[drummerboyx8x]

something i love about you guys is that you sound so full even on my crappy computer speakers. i mean, the chili peppers have everything you have musically but you have so much more of a full sound even when you've just got lead for guitar

ps amazing solos dude

[dwoodsy1]

Great song, Band has lots of talent, can see gonna go Places-Love the Sound!

[nick2012lisella]

you guys are freaking AMAZING!!

[Redsox07rbeast]

This is 10x better than the 2 new songs you just posted (Although theyre great too)

In general the singer's (Jason i think?) voice works with faster paced music like this instead of the slower stuff... But as i said before, i like it all!

[detour9596]

I honestly don't get why everyone is giving the drummer a hard time about his singing... I like the voice, it just goes with the song!

[Redsox07rbeast]

agreed. But i still think that the bassist should sing backup vocals... Listen to please refund these sleeping pills by them.. The bassist is an awesome singer.. And it would give them even more depth than they have... These guys are spectacular and awesome... Cant stop listening..

[ledzep6995]

amazing... where can I download this???

[Mastafigz]

<3 Mclovins

[Royal9186]

nice tweaser at the end.

[sirpaulish]

yo. that was seriously amazing.

[Phishboy26]

This reminds me of a mix between black horse and a cherry tree and something 311 would do.

[kirk498]

just checked out your YEM cover and a few others...nice work. you've got a good band at a young age so just keep it up. The original is nice.

[Redsox07rbeast]

im sorry you guys are just spectacular... Im lovin this from all three of you guys... I wanna see the guitarist with a jewfro tho, that'd be awesome lol....

oh and btw, a jewfro is just a white guy's afro.... Im not being anti-semetic!!!

[wisejanitor213]

what does that have to do with anything?

[detour9596]

sick awesome jeff!!!!

[orrpatrick]

You guys are a solid band, your music is pretty sweet, good lyrics too.

I just wish you'd give that drummer some back up vocals.... afterall, he is laying a pretty sweet rhythm track for you.

[markah22]

!!!!!!!!!

[dreweywooey]

u guys kinda sound like a mix between phish and vampire weekend. and the guitars remind me of earlier rhcp.

[cityofevil135]

[JohnnyHash13]

I wish to be the cops to your McLovins. Anything the people of PT can do to assist in your pwning beav, you let us know. Doubt you'll need help now that you're internet famous. Actually, youse guys wanna come to Jersey and help a brother out?

[logan3088]

its not volume for basslovin. trust me i have the same problem for my bass its just the camera fault for not being able to pick the bass frequency as clearly. Bad ass with the name too. I assume you guys have checked out PT and read the forums about you guys. I love the song

[jaflora344]

After hearing this song, I've decided to found a new group. People for a Louder Basslovin will hold court on these videos until Basslovin is turned up to his rightful place in the sound mix. Long live the PLB!

[jaflora344]

You are not pissing in our ears. Just keep your thang.

[cstefanile]

Showing PT the love. Aww you guys are really something special indeed. Diggin' the originals.

[slipperyeel111]
