    this is all there is

    Every bit of what they're doing is for the attention, and here we are talking about it, but it's still super juvenile and is not gonna get them anywhere if the songs are still as laughably bad as Mark's apparently shelved album was.

    Yeah, dude can play guitar and dude can play drums. But there's a lot of dudes out there doing both of those things a lot better, and so far nothing is making this project stand out other than how cringe it is to watch.


    and on topic of TBS proper - I really wish they would drop some sprinkle of news outside of tours. 152 is still dope and I'm ready for more new music!

    It's the fact that they're two 40+ year old men talking about how they're going back to the sound of "original TBS" with no desire to show that they have 20-something years of playing experience under their belts now. They should be so much better than what they're doing, but I'm not exactly surprised that they don't have the maturity.

    Regardless of how people feel about the later TBS albums, one thing I've always appreciated is the willingness to progress and move on. I really liked 152 for how different it was. That move to a completely out of left field producer was very good for them, and I would like to hear what comes after that, but I guess I can't necessarily blame them for a somewhat quiet year. I imagine they've been through a lot behind the scenes this past year with all this happening with Mark, and I hope they're all doing well.

    Yeah as much as I don’t like 152 and only enjoy a handful of Tidal Wave songs, I’ve gotta hand it to TBS for evolving their sound with each release. Them trying to make a TAYF style record now would be boring and really make the band feel washed

    I just came in here to say that We All Love Our Pets is a top tier TBS song. Ya'll should be ashamed for never mentioning it.

    The opening with the computer voice goes so hard.
    Speaking of news, TBS and Straylight Run are dropping new songs for another UCLA compilation album out this fall so that's something to look forward to!

    Hmmm… the way they used “original” isn’t exactly the same as new material. Original here could mean the artist’s own work versus a cover. I’d love new Straylight, so, I hope I’m wrong.

    Yeah, I'm trying not to get my hopes up, either. It could just be acoustic versions of song we know and love, which I'd still enjoy.

    Likely going to be some kind of demo, live, or alternate version of a song we already know. At the very least, both TBS and Straylight (unsurprising since they have half the same members) are usually pretty good about giving charity comps exclusive tracks and not just passing over something that's already been released. I enjoyed the first volume, so it's nice to see John do it again.

    Easy solution is just have Will Noon as the new drummer for TBS and have Michelle pop in when she wants! Everybody wins.

    A demo would actually be a really cool choice!

    They're playing Welcome To Rockville tomorrow. I saw that Mitch Register posted a picture of his new kit to his Instagram story with "Call Come Running" in it. Is this foreshadowing? Excited to see what's on their Setlist nonetheless.

    I guess Mitch is with them full-time now?
