Loyle carner is my greatest Inspo for everything. This man changed my live. I wouldnt say Im a creep but everytime I see vids with about Ben I need to watch them.
Saw them at Slam Dunk in 2018 just before Enter Shikari came on and they were absolutely incredible, looking back during the breakdown of thug workout and seeing the pit full of people doing pushups is something I'll never forget.
Do you like Don Broco? Their early work was a bit too pop-punk for my taste, but when Automatic came out in 2015, I think they really came into their own-commercially and artistically. The whole album has a slick, polished sound and a confident swagger that really makes it stand out. They’ve been compared to a lot of other rock bands, but I think Don Broco has a far more dynamic, genre-blending style that sets them apart. In 2018, they released Technology, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is Everybody. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t notice the lyrical depth. But they should, because it’s not just about the hooks; it’s about the attitude. The album’s peak is definitely Come Out to LA, which really showcases the band’s ability to mix heavy riffs with pop sensibilities. Rob Damiani’s vocals are particularly strong on this track, and the band's energy is infectious. Personally, I think Technology is the finest album they’ve released, and Everybody remains a timeless anthem of their style.
Just stumbled across Reading Festival & Fred! Wow his music is sublime!! I’m a 53 year old female! This is the most talented artist I’ve heard of some time.
Loved Don Broco's "tory-core" era, but it did feel very clunky. Fell in love with them during Priorities, but their sound more recently feels such a perfect fit for them. The music seems a lot more free and the band is able to explore so much more with it.
they are a band that play best to a crowd rather than on an album - they sound great live and the atmosphere has been awesome at 2 shows ive seen I like some of their earlier stuff and dont quite get the criticism but they are certainly getting in a good stride now and whilst they take a break for the rest of 2024 to write new material it will be exciting to see what they come up with!
Glastonbury started out as the best festival I’d ever been to…in ‘79, ‘84, ‘86 and ‘87. The first 3 were amazing, even though ‘84 was rained on for 2 days straight and turned into a mud bath with huge mud slides everywhere, it was still brilliant because the people there made it brilliant and they were ALL there to see the artists play!! By ‘87 you could see where it was going…there were Yardie drug dealers lining the entrance to the main stage, and rich luvvies from London slumming it with the lower classes…it was repellent in places, but you could still find that original freedom…if you avoided the coppers who were being allowed directly into the festival! Nowadays you couldn’t pay me to go. It’s been taken over by the monied classes, the same sh*t that happened with the football. And it SUCKS! I’m so glad I made it to those original festivals…by far and away the best! And I was so glad when the acid house/rave scene began, as that was a return to the original ethos of the early Glastos…no coppers, no idiots, do whatever you wanna do…and amazing music that everyone was there for!! DJing those gigs was a blast!
Thanks so much for the quick history of the band. I discovered them for myself two months ago and am super deep into their musical world. It doesn't happen often that I listen to an album (hell, or even all of them) over and over again. But nothing but thieves are just hitting the right spots in my brain and releasing dopamine :D
Having seen these tonight, live at Leeds Millennium Square, loved them for a good few years now. My adult nephew came along with me to look after me.😆🤷♀️ He’d only heard a couple of their songs, he’s into heavy rock so I was worried it wouldn’t be his thing. We had the best night and made the most amazing memories! Thank you Nothing But Theives for being there through some of the hardest years of my life. You blew us away tonight.❤xxxx
that thumbnail is very ironic considerin gi came to know Nothing But Thieves through Muse. They were their support act for the Drones festival tour and they had just started out. I was really intrigued but it wasn't until i saw them just a few weeks ago this time supporting Green Day, where i could finally hear many of the new songs from Dead Club City that i've finally fallen in love with them. Discovered Royal Blood the same way, though i did keep up with them since the first time i heard them. Both bands have been fantastic so far and i can't wait to see what else they have in store. Dead Club City is probably my favourite album this year.
Automatic is my favorite album that came out from them. Shocking to me that it was so low-rated. Got introduced to them around November and finally gave in to the Broco bug in February. One of my favorite bands ever, love all their music.
You have made my day😂 we have the exact same personality 😅I can literally hear myself saying the same things you do😂😂😂😂 you have a new sub thanks for making me smile today 😘xx
What this video doesn't mention is (I believe) the reason they have such a massive following is that their live shows are fucking wild, always an excellent atmosphere, always well produced. Oxford rerun after the flood is the sweatiest gig I have ever been to. I don't listen to them much anymore but absolutely will see them live at every opportunity
I think it's safe to say we are all obsessed with them right now. They give me "Hers" reincarnated vibes. Just a couple of guys jamming and having fun.
First time I saw broco was at their secret set at Reading in 2017, I've never heard a song before going to that set and I left being absolutly blown away and still am a huge fan to date
Some contentious stuff here but the saddest thing said was the complaint about old people... it's sad because his expectation is that he'll stop going to festivals and gigs when he gets old, I suppose he'll be wearing a tweed jacket with leather patches on the elbows whilst smoking a pipe; who knows. The oldies are here to stay and he'll be a fully fledged member before he knows it, and further, some of the bands he has mentioned will be gigging when he's in his 60's and he'll go to see them, possibly on the legends' slot at the Pyramid stage. You'll eat your words on the subject young man... I did.
I’ve got no problem with any age group going to see live music, come one come all! I fully intend on being 80 in my tent, watching whatever happens to be the newest thing, as well as bands that I can say “I was there man”. My point here is about old people, is that the age demographic alters the dynamic of a live experience. I’m too old to go to the front, I don’t wanna be crushed, and the back is, for want of a better phrase “not vibey enough”. There’s a middle sweet spot, where you feel connected to the act, and the audience, without the discomfort. My biggest point here, is that the older you get, the further back you go, and with such a high volume of older people, the back got closer to the front, and the sweet spot for me… was a very small spot.
Anyone who has issues with the line up schedule and the amount of people attending can fix this by not going the following year and allowing those that aren't too arsed about seeing everything they possible can to enjoy themselves even more.
Went to Glasto in 2011. It was my first festival but the only time I would do glasto. It’s insanely big, the amount of people is like a small midlands city. I would never do glasto again. The cons outweigh the pros for me.
I just stumbled across that tiny bit epic solo on pop the balloon, the reprise buildup to it gives me good old pink Floyd tingles but man.. what a breath of fresh air in general.. just top class
Been going to every show in the South of England since 2010, they were supporting Yashin at the first gig and at the time they were my favourite band, after that gig I was a big Don Broco boy
