I'm 61, music these days bores me. This band though are just awesome. Dangerous, tuneful, literary, stylish, confusing and life affirmingly magnificent. ❤
I’m 66 and this is what music has been missing for a while, lyrically no one else is touching on it as thoughtfully as F. D. C. I can’t wait till August for their next release.
I'm 53. White Welsh. Love live music. Just bought 4 tickets for these in Glasgow in December. I have 3 ladies who always attend (wife plus 2 mates). I'm Charles; my mates are Charlie's angels. They'll come and explore new music. Every year new adventures. What a life.
Been on repeat for days, I’m sure it’s not the direction they’re going for but it gives me early Kasabian / Processed Beats vibes, especially the instrumentation
Love how they refuse to keep still musically. You get the feeling they're creatively fizzing at the moment! The dreamy middle bit in particular is strikingly Blurry, but through a wholly FDC pryzm; love the new look too! What a band!
Banger! cant wait see them again! but do you think they could play this song louder and faster... the live versions kinda dont rock as hard as the studio version imo
What a song, what a band, what a drum riff, unassuming but massive complexity and talent. fooooooooook they are good....this is glasto headline stuff...
Absolute adored witnessing the evolution of these since the Dogrel tour in January 2020, they are genuinely special to see live. The genuine collective buzz of the audience takes me back to the 90's ❤
@@peacewarrecords I think Mark is saying that it just needed that boost/change/introduction- like what Smiths, Joy division, Blur did.... It's this generation's version of those bands....
@@bekipeters2843 aww, man that sucks.There might be some nearer the time when people realise they can't make it and need to sell them. That said, they only send you the tickets to your mobile on the day of the gigs for Manchester to stop scalping so that'll be difficult to sell them on the gig days.
This song has so much class This band is class. It's going to be a long wait for the album release. Almost saw them live here in brittany two years' ago, but they had to cancel last minute. I'm still gutted.
Actual 90s kid here...these dudes are good, but it's been like "they're gonnna blow up any minute now!!!!" for like 6 years lol. I like them... ...but they sink themselves in that they're just too cartoony. They're a weaker Blur/Oasis with the misguided try-hard aesthetics of nu metal acts, like Korn, with...Johnny Marr traits???? They'd be better off doing their own thing and innovating versus bringing back Adidas track suits and knockoff Oakleys...it's not just them, it's the whole copycat generation itself versus wanting to innovate and do something new.
@@EJK36They change their sound every album. I'm not a musical scholar but I'm sure if you listen to every album they'll be derivative parts and original parts. Most people are derivative of something anyway.
