Well, it’s out in Australia. What a nice surprise to wake up to. Sounds like how TSL should sound in 2025 :)

FUCK YES

@Jason Tate have you heard any new music at all yet?

Frank Lapidus replied to the thread Band The Starting Line.

I know they've been talking about new music for awhile now, but I wouldn't ever let myself get too excited for it. But holy shit it's happening. My favorite band of all time. New album. FUCK YES.

This episode is literally the reason I started collecting them myself and your post reminded me lol

Frank Lapidus replied to the thread Album Ruston Kelly - The Weakness (April 7, 2023).

Hallelujah Anyway is one of my favorite songs of his. I agree that he's too good of a song writer to put out something that's very formulaic CCM type of music. I guess one of the things that caught my eye is with a few of the cryptic posts it seems that he's alluding to some quoted scripture with some potential book and verse call outs. That's the area that I feel like he hasn't necessarily gone and probably what caught my eye first. As I mentioned before, it certainly has a lot more to do with my own feelings that I continue to work through with being raised so close to the church.

He’s been talking about religion forever. Shape & Destroy literally ends with “Hallelujah Anyway.” Like others said, I highly doubt he’s going into CCM territory lyrically even if the general topic is more prevalent on this one, he’s too good of a writer for that. As someone who grew up in the church and then became much more agnostic, I kinda like the religious allusions as long as they’re done with some artistry.

I mean yeah if the new album is like quasi CCM then I’m out. Don’t need to hear the bad songs on Weakness but with praise lyrics instead lol, some of the production on there is already very CCM adjacent He’s playing around with some religious imagery for sure but he always has—had religious statues on stage in 2021 that looked like they were from MCR album art or something. I saw he posted what looked like a bible verse on Instagram but it’s not actually one at least from googling. Idk. Who knows.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ Community, I also sadly get skeptical of this. I have a hard time explaining it. Maybe I'll try to expand a bit later. But... something I need to name, I guess.

This thought haunts my dreams

It's crazy what random memories are locked deep inside your brain that you don't remember but just pop up out of nowhere. I don't really ever remember seeing this episode but the second it started I remembered when he showed off all the hotel keys and hotel cards. Wild.

Frank Lapidus replied to the thread Cartel – “Honestly” (2025).

I don't know what I was expecting with this new version, but I listened to each version back to back a couple times in a row this morning and I was left kind of confused? It doesn't as bad as reddit is saying but it also doesn't sound much better either?

256kbps of the demos for bedroom talk & surprise surprise if anyone wants em Download The Starting Line - 2 Song Sampler.zip from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way (cover is scanned by me from the cardboard slipcase the cd came in) enjoy :)

From some of the comments I've seen - it looks like he's gotten more into the church. I'm curious how much or little it will be part of the new record. Growing up heavily intertwined in the church and having left it as I grew up, I'm sadly skeptical anytime I see stuff like that. I hate to come from a place like that so quickly, but sadly I do.

I always felt like Thiessen was someone who wrote a ton of music all the time. I wonder how many RK songs he has in demos and ideas.

No apparent reason… I make those lists all the time.

My band, fieldfox., just released our debut EP, "Home Is Where Love Is." I've posted about our previous singles "Restart" and "Brooklyn" (both featured here), and we're ecstatic to finally be able to share the complete work after a year of chipping away at these songs. The video for our next single "Dejalo Fluir" will be up early next week. Thanks so much in advance to anyone who takes the time to listen. RIYL: Yellowcard, Saosin, Armor for Sleep [MEDIA]
