That's what I'm wondering. The dream scenario is that there's a full length coming early next year with all new songs haha.
Obviously I have no insider info, but I'm pretty confident that there's at least an LP's worth of material done. The couple interviews Mr. President has done indicated this project has been in the works for a few years, and I'd be surprised if they were going to try and do headlining shows with only 6 songs. Feel like this would be a weird band to pad a setlist with covers or anything. Iirc, Sleep Token marketed their first release by putting every song out as a single first, and with this band occupying a similar space my guess is they are doing something like that. They've released each single in order of the tracklist of the EP, so I assume that trend will continue and we'll probably get all of the songs as singles before release (maybe Conclave video drops day of EP). Then I'd guess not too long after the EP, build up will start for an LP. I may be totally off here, but just looking at this bands marketing thus far, and looking at how some similar artists have done it, I think they have the songs to headline, we're probably just in for a fairly long roll out for at least the EP and probably the first LP too.
I thought the same but I'm not sure why they'd go for an EP first if there's an album ready, I hope it's not just a case of them putting out an album version with 4/5 extra songs next year. Maybe they'll do another EP early next year or maybe they will have a whole new record. I'll be pleased if they can get a whole sets worth of music released by the tour either way.
As much as I wish they’d just drop an LP, I think what they’re going for is probably like Anberlin’s post-hiatus EPs. The market seems more dominated by singles and smaller releases now. I think it’s just easier to sell a new listener on something short before pulling them into a big thing. I’m really hoping we get an LP within the year, and I don’t mind if some of the EP is on there, but I’d like it to be more new than not. Also really not holding my breath for this, but I’d legit drive 12+ hours if they play the US. I just don’t think Charlie has ever been able to fully make it work here for whatever reason so idk how likely it is to happen.
Yeah, I'll be happy to get more music either way, I'll just be annoyed if I get used to these tracks in the form of an EP and then I have to recontextualise them as an album. I'd definitely prefer a second EP if there is more coming, or obviously an entirely new LP would be the best case scenario, even if one or two EP songs get put on there. They do seem to be getting more steam in America than any of his other projects so far at least so maybe he'll get over there at some point.
They seem to be getting traction here so hopefully. Honestly, if they never tour here it sucks, but I can’t complain too much. I’m sure it’s only a fraction of the pain a lot of people outside the US go through when their favorites artist from here never make it to them. Haha
Late to this, and yea generally industry plant is dumb to say but I don't entirely blame them in this case, at least early on, with how they've rolled out things lol. Like it's still not an industry plant, but I do still think they prioritize their image and marketing/aesthetic over the actual quality of the music so far though I think I'm in the minority on that here. I do think In the Name of the Father is by far the lamest of the songs they've released so far so they've been on an upward trend at least.
only a six song setlist so I'm glad I didn't make the effort to go. I'm not sure I'll go to the actual tour either unless they have more music out by then. I'm so old lol, 20 year old me would have probably gone to multiple shows.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PresidentB...man_magazine_leaked_president_will_tour_with/ idk how accurate this is but it sounds like they might be touring with Bad Omens next year?
As if someone needed more confirmation this was Charlie since he worships the ground Deftones walk on, haha.
onsale this mornin for london sold out so fast.. hopefully the rumors of the band opening for bad omens next year are true. even better if they open for deftones' inevitable new album tour.
Hopefully they’re able to get into the studio and write some new music before the tour. You can’t really be playing a 6-7 song setlist
gonna do everything I can to make it to the NYC show. Let’s go. Hope these do well so that there’s incentive for a full tour
