The way this album quickly became one of my favorites leading me to discover that the vocalist is Pat Flynn and the other members are part of other important bands for me was one of the biggest smiles I opened during 2022. This band is a refreshing breath of life. Greetings from Brazil!
When I started listening to hardcore I discovered this album when it just came out and I loved it. I also started listening to Songs to Scream at the Sun nonstop. I've been listening to both bands for weeks without even realizing it's the same vocalist!
OMF! GOOD MUSIC IS STILL A THING! I love when I hear a band for the first time and immediately know they will forever be tied to my memories for next year and will always reappear in binge fashion for the rest of my life.
It's so cringe when dumbass kids make big exaggerations about shit, like art. You're allowed to enjoy something a lot for subjective reasons. That's how art works--people enjoy it subjectively, Mr. Makes-Generalizations-that-are-Premised-on-Knowing-Shit-About-Art.
Watched the premiere over coffee in the kitchen. From my peripheral my buddy appeared out the window with his five-year-old, wading through the garden in muddy Wellingtons, checking the drip hose system, picking leaves, eye-contactless smiles mirrored the computer screen... True Essence? Verisimilitude? Existentialistic extras in Sullenboy Vid come in real-life, real-time on real-accident? Oh, I love it. I feel like Fiddlehead and Patrick Flynn's lyrics seem to soundtrack moments over the first --- or last --- cup of coffee regardless of Sartre or Classic Roast Instant Coffee with Non Dairy Powdered Creamer, Camus or single origin Elephant Enzyme Pink Eye Vory on my mind, or heart, or the two extended family by friendship soaking up gardener's pollen picking and planting memories before the sun hits. It's too bright to go outside. Just give us more premieres, please... "the broken records, the family tree..." I don't know if those are the correct words, however, I'm already singing the song and humming the rhythm and only heard it 8 times in the last 63 minutes. Yes. Love it. I wanna soak the song up and sweeten my radical caffeine with it. My coffee has no freaking clue. But I do, wait do I? I don't know. I figure I'm sort of waiting like death at the end of some life for the clouds to come so I can go outside. Can't wait for this full record. Fuck Mid-Summer, August could be a dream.
Heard Lay Low standing around waiting for F*cked Up to take the stage in Portland Oregon. I'm not a big Fiddlehead fan, but I heard Pay Flynn on Damian Abraham's (F*cked Up vocalist) podcast where he interviews punks prior to going to that show. It's a good song. Looking forward to seeing Fiddlehead one day in Portland. I know they were supposed to come last year, 2021?, some weird all ages matinee deal at like 3 or 4 PM at Mississippi Studios but it got cancelled.
That last song is with code orange right? Also Pat sounds like the singer of Killing the dream on that last one. Windows and Sunlight is probably on the bottom of my list of favourites from this album but I appreciate its creativity the most...
