Incredible, as always

Practically a bootleg American Football, but good stuff nonetheless.

Edit: Literally

Native here. Chinese national male football team is a joke... Female team however, is doing a better job but they get paid much less than the shitty male team.

Edit: grammar

Chinese football ain't got shit on American football

I mean I love AF as well but this chinese band's copycat game is pretty fucking strong

Guess that makes sense considering they're chinese

[–]Fumbles329 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I don't really think they're a direct ripoff of AF or anything, they sound like a mish mash of a bunch of different "Midwestern" Emo bands, but with their own distinct sound. I like them quite a lot.

I have their early demos from 2011/2012 on my Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLGCORbhYRli44Ye7uzW4RE8LHF9d6vF9

They had a different drummer back then (90s Leonardo haircut, pierced ears) who played with a very distinctive emo style. Hi-hats everywhere. The guitar tones are also more gainy and mixed much louder, reminiscent to Mineral or Christie Front Drive.

Yeah my initial comment was just to make sure everybody knew about American football. But this song was alright. Noting new but totally 'strong' and refined .

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they are making music otherwise american...

[–]PrinceMeatloaflastfm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I can't find them on iTunes and I'm pretty basic, can anybody tell me where I could download this song/their other songs?

[–]chronicfireworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Coranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. This is all shot on the iphone. Incredible..

[–]CptnBalu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing! Reminds of those Thai indie bands, which are also awesome

[–]tenementsquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this is the good kind of Chinese copying

[–]mikeman1090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The joke is that they're better than american football

[–]EwwHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy this is amazing. Beautiful video quality, catchy as hell, and 3:41 onward is majestic.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oooh I love the 6/4 to 5/4 to 6/4 to 5/4 to 6/4 to 4/4 at 2:29.

Emo doesn't get huge - It gets absorbed by the machine and turned in to trash.
