@BeatinUpYaBlock i never understood why people always compare owl city to the postal service,the similarities are very few,and still,everyone sounds a bit like someone else.If i were to hate(though i love their music) on unwed,people would get a fit and tell me to listen to my" shitty music",But when they talk about other genre or artists they don't like,its all right
@xN30NxS0ULx I understand perfectly why people compare them. It isn't just that Owl City was inspired by them or sounds like them, it's that he blatantly, objectively stole various stylistic elements which were unique to The Postal Service, and then claimed it was own innovation.
@theSuperbahtzang houston right? i was there too, actually i liked them better than OC, they were excellent, i had a chance to talk to the guy with the beard guy. they are really good.
@Germanpieces Indeed they were! My friend and I saw him walking right by us a few hours before the concert, but we didn't know it was him.. Haha, we started flipping out when we saw him on stage ^_^ Adam was amazing
I saw them with Mat Kearney and Owl City thursday night. The bass was bloody amazing and coursed through my entire body, the lack of lyrics sucked, after a while the music just all seemed the same and was lulling me. All the same, decent music.
@Ostentatious06 I went to the same concert in Baltimore on Saturday. i agree that their music was REALLY LOUD. My ears were ringing! But their music was amazingggg!
@manjon217 One: I'm not a girl. Two: Owl City is amazing. Three: Unwed Sailor is amazing. So I don't see the problem. It ought to be a good concert. You'll be missing out if you don't go.
@TheArborTree Ah, chill. Just an odd combination of bands, and I can't stand owl city. I would personally rather see them hit the road with mogwai or something. A band that would suit them better and draw in a more appreciative crowd. I'm not asking you to agree.
@manjon217 Owl city is going to bring them into the mainstream and get them a pissload of revenue. And, adam young has said theyre a huge influence on him. I'm happy for them.
@CloudTransit I just feel like a lot of (not all of them) owl city fans are scene youngsters who won't appreciate it anyways. If they gain more fans out of this tour then I'll be happy for them, but I just feel like they would draw to a more mature crowd. Once again it's just my opinion don't get all angry. Hope the tour goes great for them, unfortunately I will not be attending. I don't like owl city, and I saw unwed sailor for free a few months ago.
@manjon217 i understand how you might think that but i dont think... no i DOUBT that aot of kids that like owl city are scene. theres alot of scenes at my school and they think he's LAME. i think he draws in a lot of diferent people including guys and adult. a lot of his fans including me are teens, thats not a bad thing. most artist have fans 12-16 girls, we fuel the music industry! Adam is a huge fan of them, thats probably why there on bord
Cool, but bands like unwed sailor don't usually hit the mainstream. there's a million of great bands just like them, but you kids wouldn't know that because your too busy listening to owl city. haha :)
@manjon217 It's more because the average listener doesn't want to have to think about what they're listening to; bands like this appeal more to musicians/people who are able to comprehend/appreciate the style more.
@12BookwormGirl That's backwards. They've been around for ages, and are a huge inspiration for Adam Young's music. Owl City should be opening for them, but I guess that just how things work.
Wonderful. Saw them tonight at the Norman music festival! Amazing. I was smiling the entire time. Got to meet Johnathan, whom I have looked up to since the early days of Roadside Monument. He's a musical hero of mine. Thanks for posting this song. We need more non-live songs up by them.
I love that song. Most of my friends (fools) say that that kind of music and calssic is really boring and stupid. But I always say that without that type of music they wouldnt be able to listen to their shitty rap and hip-hop ^^ 5/5 or even 6/5 xD
@MyTearsYourBlood1 That's kind of a weak argument. It's like saying we should eat rotten meat so we can appreciate refrigerators. I love this band and I love this song, but just because instrumental music proceeded "modern" music doesn't give it any merit or should be a sticking point for people to listen to it. Some people just have different tastes.
I still remember when I first heard their song "Shadows" in 2007. It was a total revelation to me! It remains, to this day, my favorite song ever.
Thanks for listening! :)
