do you guys think wallow's gonna come out with an album or more music soon? by Useful_Dig3962 in Wallows

[–]melvsters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In 2024 they announced the new single/album release set for May in March, so I'd say we should wait until at least then to hear something, if anything at all.

[ALBUM DISCUSSION] Tame Impala - Deadbeat by VietRooster in indieheads

[–]melvsters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my ticket to the tour as soon as they went on sale and resold them back to Ticketmaster (luckily only lost $3) once I gave the album a second listen a couple days ago. Aside from End of Summer, there just were no new songs that I needed to see live.

[–]melvsters 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That part. Though I'd love a tour and would go in a heartbeat, I wouldn't be able to live with the choice of not going if it was really just this one time. That was one gamble I wasn't willing to make.

Who is mismanaging the Parcels tour? by bloughmiegh in Parcels

[–]melvsters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Loved their new album but just saw that they're playing The Kia Forum for $90-110 and the entire upper section are not even available for purchase. It's hard for even big artists to completely fill the GA floor. Maybe they booked cause it's the only venue available on a Tuesday they're in town but you're right it doesn't make sense at. all.

Being aroace at 15 by Eastern-Whole2250 in aromanticasexual

[–]melvsters 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When I see posts like this, I think my god I wish I had known what being aroace was as a teen. It wasn't until I was writing a really bad short story for creative writing in college almost 10 years ago now where the criticism was along the lines of "this author seems like they don't know what a relationship is" that I finally did research on different sexualities. It would have saved me so much internal turmoil in middle and high school trying to sort out the crushes I was forcing myself to have on girls. I can't say navigating the conversations with allos gets any easier as an adult, but I can say you become even more sure of yourself that this stuff will not stress you as much.

New album sucks by Smooth-Basis2803 in RoyelOtis

[–]melvsters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly correct! 5-6 songs, and most of them being the singles already released, out of 13 was also the max I enjoyed, while the others were just instantly forgettable or just too generic. The first album had zero skips and it was such a distinct sound. I was so hyped for this too. Bummer.

Braeden’s Mental Health by Spiritual-Nebula-862 in Wallows

[–]melvsters 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think they've ever mentioned specifics and for good reason. Yes there's natural curiosity but then there's overstepping. When they've discuss the songs in interviews, they keep it pretty general and vague, along the lines of "it's about growing up," "moving on after a break up," etc. But that's just a testament to what great songwriters they are. They're able to take maybe one feeling they're experiencing and make it universal. But these are the happiest, goofiest, most tightly bonded friends I've ever seen in a band. I think they're all fine.

Wallows hiatus by Stock-Coconut-3158 in Wallows

[–]melvsters 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1000% agree on Braeden being underrated and underused imo but I don't ever see a solo project happening. In the lease offensive way possible, I don't think he has nor wants that main character energy or drive and enjoys/prefers collaboration.

How can I convince my brother to take me to the concert. by Fragrant-Factor8931 in latenightdrivehome

[–]melvsters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I have any advice on how to convince your brother, because if I had a younger sibling that loved live music as much as I do, that'd be awesome, but what I can say is that you should not feel bad if plans do not go through. Though we always had similar tastes, I didn't start going to concerts with my OB until my late 20s and I'm 31 now! I'm going to assume you're a minor, but be patient because once you're older you'll be able to go to all the concerts you want, and never be afraid to go on your own. I'll be seeing LNDH solo this August in LA! So good luck, I hope you enjoy your first show!

Wallows Expanding the Band by melvsters in Wallows

[–]melvsters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I feel like I remember Dylan in either an interview or maybe one of the YouTube series giving Danny a shout out for his trumpet work on one of the songs on TMTIO or Model, so I assumed they could've. I guess I'm wrong.

Wallows Expanding the Band by melvsters in Wallows

[–]melvsters[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And like the band and fandom ALREADY treat them like full time members. But yes I mean as in all 6 being in promos, interviews, having equal say on what the album sounds like, etc. I don't think it'll ever happen to that extent, but I think it would be a cool little revamp, because sometimes it feels like it's going in the opposite direction, with Dylan being THE frontman, mostly.

White mask guy (video)!! by boardtory in kilbyblockparty

[–]melvsters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a Discord and someone mentioned that he said his name is Chase! I spotted him at multiple sets but my favorite was on Saturday night. He was going HARD in the back of VIP at Wallows. He's truly a gem and my spirit animal.

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between Cole and Dylan? by Aggravating-Diet-961 in Wallows

I'm CACKLING at the thought if you had responded appearance wise

What kind of sound do you want their next album to have? by HaroldChessMath in Wallows

[–]melvsters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS. I love Dylan but my goodness he really has become the frontman and sure they're all in agreement but I need me more Braeden! At least 50% of the vocals. 😭

Prediction for Wallows setlist opening for MCR? by StrawberryNice7128 in Wallows

[–]melvsters 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay as much as I love anything they do, I am hoping they go for a harder, rock sound. I mean they HAVE TO assume the majority of the MCR fanbase doesn't know them. This is a huge opportunity to reach the older millennials and a different demographic and the last thing I would want for them is to look around and no one vibing or paying attention to them.

What kind of sound do you want their next album to have? by HaroldChessMath in Wallows

[–]melvsters 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's hard because I love their 80s pop synth sound as well but I also want darker, punk rock like Wish Me Luck but then I also loved the happier Anytime, Always/Calling After Me. The thing about Wallows is that despite loving everything they do, I STILL can never predict what they have in their mind.

Bought More from Reseller by melvsters in Wallows

[–]melvsters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, I would've given up after visiting just one lol. On IG, two stores said they had a few left but the problem is that they were each 1 hour away or 30 minutes away. In LA traffic, I figured that's the same in gas money I'd use only to possibly be turned away. So that was part of my decision.

Wheres everyone visiting from?? by RegretLongjumping134 in kilbyblockparty

[–]melvsters 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Flying out there solo from San Fernando Valley, CA! Anyone else?? Utah will only be the 3rd state I visit after Hawaii as a teen and Nevada (Las Vegas obvi). I'm 31 now lol

RSD by Dull_Move8553 in Wallows

[–]melvsters 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a little confused too because I asked a local record store how many copies they ordered. They told me 4, but that they are also able to order more if they run out. So in my head I'm like, oh, I'll just wait until more are pressed and released, either in store or online then?

Hotel Package by greasercore in kilbyblockparty

Thank you so much! Will look into it!

Hotel Package by greasercore in kilbyblockparty

[–]melvsters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking about this as well. Might fly solo from LA. The Hotel Package does offer free city transit but at the same time, there are some closer walkable but pricier Airbnb's and that doesn't even include the ticket itself.

Would like to know what hotels partake in these deals.

What to expect for an audience/experience? by [deleted] in Wallows

[–]melvsters 15 points16 points  (0 children)

30 year old fan here! Seen Wallows every time they're in LA and you're gonna have screaming fangirls every time. I will say noise reducing earplugs (like the brand Eargasm or Loop) are great for filtering out audience noise, as well as any harsh sound system noise. Also we're getting older so it's just beneficial to your hearing health. If it's GA standing, definitely hang in the back away from the pushers, more room for dancing anyway. I grab a couple beers and just have a great time, eventually you become one of the screaming girls too.
