Hot Mulligan Band • Page 7

I feel like it'll probably end up happening in some states and not in others. But yeah I was surprised to see a tour announcement earlier than the summer.

 

ugh Heart Attack Man ughhhhhhhhhh

 

My exact thoughts...I’d love to go to a Hot Mulligan/MM@TA show but don’t know if I could sit through HAM in the middle.

 

yeah I’m not giving any money to a bill that has HAM on it, which sucks but oh well

 

In case any one needed a reminder why they are the worst check out this extremely recent tweet

 

Yeah I was just reading their thread to see what you guys were talking about. Seems like they're trying to be funny a lot and they just come off as assholes.

 

They also made some, I believe, transphobic comments on Twitter as well? I think that was them? If it wasn’t transphobic it was something else that was actually harmful, unlike the above tweet which is just idiotic. It’s sadly so hard to keep track these days!

 

nah i don't think they're transphobic, i think you're thinking about this (wrt the Better Off situation from last year)

e: lots of their social sucks but this is the thing that's always stuck out to me

 

Yes thank you. This is it. Going to bat for a dude who caped for his touring bassist that assaulted a woman. Not great!

 

Yeah from what I’ve seen they’re whiny shitheads and they made some weird twitter apology song. Don’t like them at all, but that’s more just me being annoyed at how they treat accountability like a meme

 

sometimes I think I'm just too old for their social. like everyone in their mentions is a leftist/lgbt zoomer, it really feels like there's something I just don't get at times. but whatever it is, it really turns me off. like ... i kinda get it. accountability is a meme for a lot of bands in the scene, they pretend to be 'accountable' but it's all a bunch of bullshit. but HAM tries to play both sides of the aisle and it just doesn't land with me.

 

It reminds me of white libs who make “ironic” racist jokes

 

Don't think I realized how fucking good Equip Sunglasses is. That song is a jam.

Anyway, revisiting this b/c IC tweeted this video, which rules:

 

the music video for equip is probably my fav of the year.

 

Is this new music? I feel like I didn't see any announcement

 

It’s their first two EPs!

 

Oh ok I see it on Spotify, I never noticed them before. I'll have to give it a listen.

 

Their record really didn't get enough love last year. Feel like it just got lost in the shuffle with the lockdown starting literally the week after it dropped. Sucks because it's really great.

 

Agreed it was one of my favorites of the year.

 

They're one of the bands that really got the shit end of the stick from the timing of the pandemic. Hope they can get on some good tours to promote YBF.

 

It's criminal the album doesn't even have its own thread

 

YBF and Charmer's Ivy got played so much during the start of the pandemic for me.

 

Ivy was another one that didn't get the love it deserved last year. That was my #2 album of 2020.

 

it was my go to for the first few months of working from home. gonna always have that weird nostalgia attached to it.

 

ivy never clicked w me
