My friends and I recently recorded a song called "Nylon Whale" and we would love if you took the time to check it out! We've been told we kind of give off a Phoenix vibe, we're an indie band looking for support, and you may just like our sound! Thanks and God Bless!
To those of you worried about looking "hipster" just because you don't listen to the mainstream music... seriously? Do what you want/listen to what you like. You only live once, don't do shit just to impress other people, like seriously. And don't go around calling yourself hipster either lol
I'm not hipster, I don't know jack about music. Pandoa Radio introduces me to anything not played every 20 minutes on the radio. Anyways, this band creates a sound and a mood I've never experienced before, and I love it. I love the impressionistic lyrics, and the complex music. My brain feels like it got a little workout after listening to this song in particular.
@Meow1246 yourre wrong. this band is great and very cool. but nothing like the beatles. the closest to the beatles is oasis. just a different sound. no intent to disrespect or to poke fun at your opinion. this just sounds very new wave and the beatles had no songs that sound remotley similar to phoenix
the best songs on any album are the ones that haven't been made singles or have music videos made out of them. no joke. listen to interpols album "turn on the bright lights", then you'll see what I'm talking about.
I wish the bands I listen where really popular, more popular than Beiber or lady gaga or rihanna, because that way I could fit in on society and people would think I'm cool. So that's why I don't wont to be a hipster.
@nicholsonpr Yeah i know now. I felt i would ask the question here as opposed to going and looking it up, sometimes its nice to ask peoples opinions.. I was just fed tiny bits of disinformation over the week which led me to believe for a little bit that these guys were from that sort of time period. Im sorry if i offended people haha. To me it doesnt change how they sound, and they are quite awesome sounding xD
why do you care how popular a song is? wouldn't it be a good thing if music you consider to be good was shared with other people? im sure the artist would be happy to know that the tracks are widely known. Your not the only person in the world who enjoys music.
@ambershoshana thats because everyone here consideres themselves to be hipsters( even though they wont admitt it) and they woont be able to listen to this band anymore if the views gets over 550 thousand
This band is the best and I've been listening to it for a very long time and it just never gets old... They didn't really make it big but i still think they are beasty....
This is such a sexy song. I'm not the type of guy that likes to dance, but that groove during the "Fences in a row" part is so damn slick that it makes even me want to go to a French nightclub and bust a move.
@DannyDaylight Your comment fails because it is not possible to listen to be the first one to listen to this song before someone else thought it was cool.
my favorite part of the song is when the guitar along with the bass pedal builds up in 0:30 and the bass coming in afterwards in 0:42. one word : GENIUS!
Fuck in 2009 what was my brain thinking. Hey my favorite albums in High school, don't get me wrong some were great like Continuum by John Mayer, American Idiot by Green Day (Maybe not good but influential), Hot Fuzz by The Killers. But my other choices were Graduation by Kayne West (Which his next album was his last good album), Fergilious by Fergie, and T.H.E. E.N.D by the Black Eyed Peas yeah pure shit.
@MrMonstersk8er How is that a bad thing? It's a credit to the band's talent, its not about your weird sense of ego where only you can like the stuff you like.
@MrMonstersk8er Not to start a YouTube quarrell, but I do believe that the purpose of starting a band is for the public to listen to your music. Fame = Money = Good for the band. But maybe I'm crazy and this post is too logical.
I hate how some people just find out about it from a crappy show >.>"
I want the good music to stay hidden and something I can't hear on the radio all the time and not have stupid girls or boys run around like they know everything about the artist.
@trailaway5663 does it really matter how you find out about a specific band / tune, does it make you less of a fan because you only found it out through a tv show, whereas obviously you're a 'true fan', it's a selfish attitude, and stupid
@retroremo Have you SEEN the girls these days? They spazz over something, take this for an example, then diss you like you haven't even listened to them. It's happened. Especially the teens. They're horrible. This generation sucks. End of. Like I said. I want something I can actually come home to and listen when I'm down. Hearing it on the radio will just make it overrated, like the person I replied to. I'm not trying to be selfish either. :c
@trailaway5663 im a teenage girl and im not like that i promise! there are some good ones out there! XD but i agree with what your saying, they do what you were talking about then forget about it just as quick to move onto the next 'trendy' thing... no respect, no compassion, no loyalty these days -.-
@trailaway5663 god damn fucking hipsters, if there is good music out there then spread it! Dont just keep it to yourself and act all cool n shit. No one likes a TRYHARD. Plus if you contribute their music this may increase possible merchandise to be sold from those artists, aka cd's dvds, etc. Their Channel views will go up and be easier to get known! So quit bein a tryhard hipster...
