I know that they want to keep progressing, but I feel like it would be amazing if they released a Take This To Your Grave-style EP. I think they are the type of band that could really pull something like that off. Not asking for them to revert back to that style completely, but a throwback type EP (similar to the the PAX AM) would be rad.
I know it won't ever happen. I love everything they've put out, and hope they continue to be themselves and write music they feel good about. But damn if I wouldn't kill for this as well. They just did pop-punk better than everyone else
Not into it. Not sure why some news outlets are calling it a "throwback", it's still a very contemporary FOB sound.
The first song is literally a re-recording of a song they put on their mixtape 10 years ago. That could explain the "throwback".
