I’m ready. In May it will have been 2 years since they told us they were releasing a new record. This is our year
That's news to me! They played great in Raleigh last week but it was a little odd not to hear mention of any new songs. Felt more like greatest hits executed well, but without anything articulated for future plans.
they appear to be liking most of the responses to the post. a quick Google search of their name and the words "People Like People" (which shows up at the beginning of the teaser), indicates they're releasing an album of the same name on May 13. - Watashi Wa - People Like People
They aren't releasing new music on T&N. They're featured on Watashi Wa's new album, which is being released through T&N.
Amazing, their last few albums as Eager Seas and Lakes have all been really great. The constant name changes have been confusing, but glad they're still making music in general
holy shit. i don't think they'll try to get the feature pulled, but this doesn't look good for a band who's predominantly opposed to most of those ideas (although i often question just how embedded Stephen is in that mindset, given that he's a pastor).
Really hope the band and Relient K step up and say something. No chance they can stop the release even if they wanted, but saying something is important
I mean, haven’t Anberlin been touring with a backdrop that says End Racism? They shouldn’t be co-signing this guy.
absolutely. same goes for RK too. they're currently touring with an openly gay artist, so this kinda contradicts the accepting/affirming vibe they're trying to conjure.
I would suggest reading up in the Eager Seas thread about the Watashi Wa singer, but here's the Anberlin track
Absolute garbage song with a mind-blowingly inauthentic little monologue there at the end considering the rightwing shit Seth has been posting. It’s a pretty thin veil, too. This song might as well be calling people “sheep”
Yuuuuup. Posted the lyrics in that thread, but I’ll put them here too. Very not great: They got you like a Zombie Pissed off and bleeding Blindly eating all your own ideals Now they’re barely breathing While their businesses are burning And they’re dedicated And you got me on a mission now And maybe I’ve got a lot this time But I’m not going to break this time And maybe I’m coming to take what’s mine This time you can have all of me Maybe we can get the truth this time And I’m coming in for the love this time And maybe this time we break the lies This time you can have all of me They got you like a zombie Staring at your screen And you’re left without your own ideas Stuck in low vibration But your heart’s still empathizing And they’re MK Ultra’d And it’s time we break the whole thing down And maybe I’ve got a lot this time But I’m not going to break this time And maybe I’m coming to take what’s mine This time you can have all of me Maybe we can get the truth this time And I’m coming in for the love this time And maybe this time we break the lies This time you can have all of me All of you is all of me But they got us tribal choosing All of me is all of you And we can’t just keep on losing And maybe I’ve got a lot this time But I’m not going to break this time And maybe I’m coming to take what’s mine This time you can have all of me Maybe we can get the truth this time And I’m coming in for the love this time And maybe this time we break the lies This time you can have all of me
