sold out a 1200 cap in DC three months ahead of time two years after he played to 30 people in a radio station about 30 minutes away, so wild
I can't open the stereogum link at work, but what the fuck is Sam Ray going on about right now? Jesus
lmao I read that and like I agree with some of those criticisms (I like Teens of Denial FWIW) but writing that screed and publishing it is just ridiculous
the only line I can see is "an annoyingly persistent last.fm recommendation" uhhhh bud quit acting like people don't find your hype bands through last.fm similar artist pages
I mostly just kinda laughed at the whole thing they're both pretty ridiculous indie rock yt dudes so it was just kinda funny to see this "beef" happen
oh, I bet it's really funny - just seems weird to get antagonistic towards a successful band in pretty much the same scene, especially when everything I've heard of Will makes him sound like a pretty nice guy. It's also not like he's one of these guys that bought a guitar and got signed the next day, dude's been grinding out self-released records for time! Maybe pick someone with a less impressive work ethic to nitpick haha
Maybe its because of this song about Kitty from like four years ago? why am i spending time looking into this
IT'S MY BOY SAM RAY!!!! guys what if sam ray doesn't like car seat headrest solely because he knows how much i like him that'd be make so much sense
I didn't even really love Teens of Denial (at least not as much as Teens of Style) but wowwww that article. If you need to put all that time and effort into creating a goddamn dissertation about why you dont like another band then you must be extremely insecure about your own musical output. Or you just have wayyyyy too much time on your hands
