new guy from MMF had his flight delayed (in all seriousness, they were a last-minute replacement band for Red Jumpsuit and there was likely a conflict)
2 years ago, Anberlin released their final release. The EP, Convinced, was a solid send off for the band. I know we all miss them.
This is so sad, but also the way I look at the end of this once-great band. Never thought they'd end up in the place they did here.
I just jammed the EP when I was out on an errand. The extended outro of just the waves crashing know give me vibes of the tide coming in and washing the band away.
I know we all rightly love The Haunting but quick shoutout to Uncanny. such a fun song with an insanely catchy chorus. Said and Done also a banger with very similar vibes
love Uncanny. Said and Done is more or less just a rough Impossible demo, and i greatly prefer the final version
Said and Done isn’t one of their best songs or anything but it’s certainly isn’t their worst song either.
dissenter is great and I don’t get the hate for it but i recognize that’s unpopular. TBH my least favorite song not on new surrender nor featuring matty is whisper and clamor I think.
if I’m being honest with myself, high stakes kinda goes. If Stephen was singing that, it would go super dumb
yeah it's a tie between foreign language and younglife for me for worst og anberlin song. i've only listened to high stakes once but i remember thinking the lyrics were baaaaad.
