@Zippedychick ME TOO!! have you heard of his new band Fun? he's not lead singer but he plays the guitar for it...look you the song We Are Young by Fun..yes glee did do there own version of the song but the original is SO much better..you should check it out =)
@guardchick95 Oh, sorry to budge in here, but the ban Fun isn't new.. they've been around since 08-09-ish I believe? But of course, since they're with FBR now, everyone assumes they're new, haha.
"Show Zero" was Conan O'Brien's first episode. Steel Train made a guest appearance and played the first chord off their album. You can watch it on YouTube.
And they don't suck, I think they're awesome, and they're some of the most genuinely nice and hilarious guys out there.
I'm here because of a comment on Cosmo Jarvis - Gay Pirates, this is great, but to return the favour that the person said on Cosmo's vid did... Listent to Cosmo Jarvis - Gay Pirates
I laughed at the guy who said the beginning sounded like a Fun. song. Does that person not realize that Jack Antonoff is in both bands, is undeniably a heavy part of both bands and is a heavy contributor in the creative process of both bands' songs, and this song in fact came out before Fun. released any albums (and possibly even before they actually became a full-fledged band)? People are so funny nowadays.
I made a youtube profile just so I can say how much I hate this song. Like I normally have respect for certain musicians but this just sucks. I can normally understand why some people like certain songs. This song reminds me of how much I hate nowadays music. Drive thru records used to be about punk and being badass not about wearing v-neck shirts and looking and sounding like a bunch of sissies.
one of drive thru records best bands along with I can make a mess like nobody's business and so underrated. Also, Socratic can be added to that list... these bands don't get as much credit as they deserve...
It's really hard to sound unlike anything ever done at this point. They may be unique compared to a lot of bands, but I think their music reminds me of Regina Spektor's for instance.
i discovered these guys at lollapolooza a couple years ago, really great find, i recommend seeing them live. i was actually a little disappointed hearing there recorded stuff for the first time after i saw them live.
OMG this is amazing i just found this well good band thats are abit like these if you type in the search bit on youtube HIGHRISE SEVILLE there video will come up its a well good song and dont think many people know bout them anyway hope this helps peeps xx
it sounds so different from what i normally listen to, and im surprised to say that even though i just found this, like a few minutes ago, i can't stop listening to them!
DAM I HATE PEOPLE SAYING BAD STUFF WELL THEN DONT COMMENT and if dont like the song the is a x button stupid retards ^^ i love the song :D they good it different and like it ^^
@ambs823 Are you? The song is about a girl he lost. "The planes hit the towers, then she died and he died"
"A million miles in the sky a fire burns,
A fire burns, and i just let it all go" and, "Ill just sing what i have in the heavens above
In the song in the sky a fire burns,
A fire burns, a fire burns and its for you".
Its about 9/11 ( I presume based on the planes and towers), and a girl he lost, and got over through music. The only girl he seems to be mentioning is dead.
In fact. He talks about three different girls and one guy (his cousin) during this song.
girl one: his sister who didn't actually die during 9/11 but just weeks after. He said in an interview that, when looking back, 9/11 was the moment his life began spiraling downhill. He also mentions his cousin who died fighting during the Iraq war just after it began, also because of 9/11.
girl two: scarlett johansson. He dated her for many years and the relationship ended just after 9/11 as well. "I spent five years morning you and why? girl you're still alive"
girl three: his girlfriend at the time of writing the song, alia shawkat, who has about a million and a half freckles on her face. "i count the freckles on her face one, two, three hundred times a day."
maybe listen to the lyrics a little bit more before you jump to conclusions.
@TheDillDaddy Who the fuck else can you even compare to this band? I don't recall there being any other band sounding anything close to this. Name one. That's right, you can't because there isn't one.
