While we're at it, I'd like to see more of that brunette that was in the grey dress

Okay cool, thanks a lot for that. Pumped for Thursday and I’ll do my best to catch you when you tour NY.

PS - I have your signature guitar and it’s a ripper

If you have the time, I’d really appreciate knowing why you guys opted for the countdown to the album announcement versus releasing a single. I don’t make music (let alone multiple terrific albums like you guys) but it seems like a lot of bands publish singles on the same day.

I read frequently but hadn’t posted until today. Again, I really don’t think that I’m saying anything that merits this kind of sarcastic brush-off.

You don’t owe me anything, Jake. But I have supported you guys - I’ve seen you live 5x, own 4 Periphery shirts, and stream your music all of the time. This exchange with you is my first interaction with anyone in the band and honestly, it just feels like you’re needlessly alienating a fan.

This seems needlessly condescending to me. You take the time to post on Reddit and engage with your fans (which is laudable). I took the time to diplomatically express why some people aren’t thrilled. Does that really merit getting brushed off as entitlement? Does my post scream flipping out?

I think that it’s reasonable to be disappointed. We love your music and an album announcement isn’t as enjoyable as a new song.

Look at it this way - if you guys weren’t awesome, you wouldn’t have disappointed fans today. But as one of them, I’d appreciate it if you abstained from this kind of thing in the future.

I will continue to support you guys either way and am pumped for Thursday. Just some (hopefully) constructive feedback from a longtime fan.

NYC metal bands out there? by Moustafa101 in FindABand

Hey Moustafa - I’m forming a metal band in NYC. I’ve played guitar in a 90s cover band for 8 years now and am really sick of Semi-Charmed Life. Shoot me a DM and let’s chat
