You asked about other bands you should do a history of. You should do the south Florida band The Holy Terrors which I’m sure you know the significance of.
That’s actually where I’m from and I definitely get the Interpol connection. If I get back to making some videos maybe I could get some local interviews together for that one.
Their album ‘Our love to admire’ creates a viceral response for me because I listened to it a lot on my little usb mp3 player as a teenager just after my mum died, I love them but I exclusively listen to them in dark times because it takes me back to that moment and reminds me that, no matter bad things seem, it’ll never be as bad as was then.
Thank you for making this video! i've recently bought a hoodie from a thrift shop and i am kind of confused what the logo says on the front and back of the hoodie, it started off hard to spell the name but turns out it was Rumspringa. I got curious and so i started searching for the origin of the band and i stumbled upon this vid! i haven't listened to them yet but i definitely will. They sounded nice, even though i am not a fan (yet), i am proud to have this Rumspringa Amish Tour hoodie 💗 Ty!
Ironically, I love The White Stripes, but I do NOT love Seven Nation Army. I think it’s possibly the worst song in their catalog; I don’t know why people love it. There’s so many other songs in their discography that are awesome.
That little moment after Zane Lowe asks whether they gave themselves time to rest and recuperate after the promo and touring for Antics is so telling. Our Love to Admire has a weariness and exhaustion about it that, in hindsight, seems to reflect four people who are running on fumes. That's not to say it isn't a good record - but from the off, it's the aural equivalent of having burned the midnight oil a few times too many.
There is no better writer than Alex Turner, he is a musician who has never ceased to amaze me since I was a teenager until today. Also how ironic that at the beginning they were looking for a frontman for a long time and they had him right in front of HAJDJSJS but Alex was even embarrassed to show what he wrote in secret.
