Ahh mate I love them but had tickets in 2024 for Dublin & got mega ill whilst there, so couldn't go, was that bad I had to extend stay as too ill to fly back! We went to see Sam Fender & AM too on that Dublin trip but AM cancelled (Alex was ill) so of the 3 only saw SF... was mint though as it lashed it with rain, which just made it better... probably how i got ill!
Banger mate. That and LITD two my favourite albums ever. Think they won Grammy for Deeper Understanding. Got the RSD Thinking of a Place 12" just a perfect song![]()
L
Love The War on Drugs. Saw them 2024 at the Albert Hall. Awesome gig.
They're fantastic live.
It's older now, but A Deeper Understanding is a masterpiece album. Wish I'd seen them during that album tour.
Yeah i can’t get into these. Tried both albums. Preferring lost in the dream but I keep skipping. Opening track was decent but it’s not a bit of meThanks mate. Gotta say TWOD if you've not listened give them a whirl. Insanely good imo. Try Lost In The Dream LP if you do![]()
F**k me that’s awful luck. Monkeys one of my favs. Seen them countless times now. Best gig was in Sheffield at the Don Valley Bowl after they broke the US with Humbug and came back for a 2 night homecoming. Think it was for Suck it and see around 2011?? See them 3 times that year in Birmingham where I was living at the time and then back home headlining at V festival. London in 2012 not long after all that too lol. F**k load of us went to that gig we had to get a mini bus. Lost all my Mandy that day too haha. There was still enough to go around thoAhh mate I love them but had tickets in 2024 for Dublin & got mega ill whilst there, so couldn't go, was that bad I had to extend stay as too ill to fly back!

It might be something to do with seeing WOD. I've seen Sam 2 times now, the other was ST James Park and initially WOD were supporting! Couldn't believe my luck then they announced they were pulling out few months before. Was super weird as Granduciel had produced. Maybe 3rd time lucky this weekend!Yeah, mate, you were definitely cursed on your Dublin trip. I fancy catched Fender one of these days, so good you could still get through that one being ill.
We were at the same gig mate... was the LG Arena back then! I remember the mini mosh pit still now! Fantastic gig!!See them 3 times that year in Birmingham where I was living at the time
That's my fave on there I think with Ocean. A lot of their songs just transition to places you weren't expect them to go, just added layers as it goes on. If you like Red eyes you'll probably like Ocean mateMight’ve spoke to soon. Red Eyes is a banger
Oh wow yeah that’s mental. Tbh I’ve not got into any newish bands. I know WoD and Wolf Alice aren’t new new but I found it hard getting into new guitar / indie bands in the past 10-15 years. There’s a couple. Same with rap/ hip hop too. Only a few artists like Kendrick I likeIt might be something to do with seeing WOD.

Lol seriously? Yeah was LG arena haha. Quality that. See a few good acts there like Arcade Fire (although that could’ve been NIA), Jay-Z, Gorillaz, Noel Gallagher (that could’ve also been NIA thinking about it). I lived right near the NIA and I was at the O2 academy or HMV institute at least once a week so if all blurs into one. I’ve always gone into London for good music but living in Birmingham for 3 years in the city centre was absolutely fantastic for my then life style. Everything was walking distance except the LG which cost about £4 to get to lol. Ah man see Maccabees, Doherty, Scroobius pip, Blur (was in wolves but we drove there and that was the same with the Sheffield monkeys gig), Snoop Dogg, wu tang, Nas & Damian Marley, mystery jets, the view to name a few that I can remember. My last night before I moved back home home was a Bloc Party gig with all my mates. Was a great send offWe were at the same gig mate... was the LG Arena back then! I remember the mini mosh pit still now! Fantastic gig!!
Yeah tbh this one is a good album. I like itThat's my fave on there I think with Ocean. A lot of their songs just transition to places you weren't expect them to go, just added layers as it goes on. If you like Red eyes you'll probably like Ocean mate
Yeah I'm original from Bham lolLol seriously? Yeah was LG arena haha. Quality that.
Great band too. Finally seen them few years ago and thought they were great. I'm thinking to catch them doing a joint gig with Interpol soon in BhamBloc Party gig
Ahhh fair enoughYeah I'm original from Bham lol
I was a biiiiiig KOL fan until the 4th album. I used to fukin dress like them, Big long messy hair etc but that 4th album killed me (except crawl). And then since they have 1 or 2 songs on each album I like but they ain’t the same one bit. Never seen a change like that in a band. So glad I see them 3 times before that 4th album. Still see them 3 times after but was only for that year or 2 after the 4th. Yeah they were both incredible, did their joint album and both did a half hour set of their own songs each. Quality. I don’t go many gigs anymore. Last 2 were happy Mondays and pixies in the last few yearsJust dug this out
Sounds like you seen a lof of great artists there mate. I honestly just stick to AM, Coldplay & KOL until last couple of years where I've been trying to go to more. I had seen AM on every tour up until Dublin and that broke the streak! I bet Nas & Damien M was good![]()
Ah so 2 of my mates are going in December in London and I might be too. Bloc party have a new album out in September, loved their last one and I’ve never seen interpol so I’m up for it it’s just whether I can be bothered lol.Great band too. Finally seen them few years ago and thought they were great. I'm thinking to catch them doing a joint gig with Interpol soon in Bham![]()
Yeah, this thread has turned to nonsense.....So.... what about that movie; Backrooms. Heard there's going to be a steelbook release?
I’m hoping it’s the main poster of the therapist up against the wall. That’s my favourite I think.This is an official A24 poster for the movie, imagine if this is the steelbook artwork...
Works for me...
