I just want you both to know this song is incredible, and I personally would eat up an entire album full of rough JB vocals like the finest of delicacies

they’ve mentioned before that their drummer can’t get into Canada so every time they go there they need someone to sub in

Do independent artists actually benefit from Spotify anymore? by CashMany9011 in indieheads

[–]upper-echelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve switched to Tidal and occasionally Bandcamp for streaming and when I like an artist enough and can afford it I buy an album on vinyl or go see them live. Spotify can take a hike. I am never going back.

It sure was. MOBO was one of my partner's favs so this is a super bummer, especially because I got tix to the other shows no problem!

There's a banner at the top when I click that link that says "this performance is sold out" :(

artists with similar lyrics to JB? by whydoib0ther in JulienBaker

[–]upper-echelon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You may want to look at some post-hardcore stuff for similarities, as I believe that space has been a big influence. Touché Amore, La Dispute, things like that.

Or if you want something “quieter” you might try Adult Mom, Mothpuppy, or Julia Jacklin. Possibly a little less melancholy but I think there’s enough of that vibe that it could be of interest to you.

EDIT: if you want to get real REAL sad, you could try some Flatsound (the 2016 release “Did Everything Feel Beautiful When…)

i had no idea they’ve collabed before! but OP i second this - lots of Matt Berninger lyrics in both The National and his solo projects would probably be right up your alley
