The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (November 30, 2018) Album • Page 529

Shrug. I don’t think the music is a “rip off,” he’s been doing stuff like this for years. Those influences have been there a while. Sleepwalker was like 7 years too early.

 

I’m curious what you have to say about the artwork then at least??

And for those who haven’t heard the song I’m taking about

 

80s inspired art and neon lights is all the rage. You should see what The Midnight do with it. The square and hands remind me of The 1975 and Fickle Friends. He’s doing shapes and photos for singles:

 

I dunno man..

 

Dunno if you’re gonna get worked up about all the 80s inspired bands lately he’s a weird one to pick since it’s been in his DNA from like 2005

The 1975 borrow from a lot of the same influences. Hard for me to call it a rip off when he was messaging me New Order songs on AIM.

The photos are cool on instagram:

 

Worked up? It is a little ridiculous. Curious what others think, or if I’m crazy to thinking everything is just a TAD too similar

 

Thank you two for introducing me to this song/band, it’s dope as hell.

 

I mean you’ve spent the night in multiple threads now that’s all I was saying ... and I was just saying I don’t think it’s a “rip off” because I’ve seen him grow into this since he was releasing albums on militia group, and like yeah this sound is popular now, but I’d rather the dude that’s been doing it for years keep doing it than Emarosa jump on the bandwagon all of sudden comparatively. And I really like 80s inspired music! (And I’m the guy that always argued I don’t think The 1975 are ripping off their influences either.)

 

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I don’t like the tunes

 

I can see the rectangles being a case of parallel thinking, but that pink neon sign in a bedroom is a litttttttle suspicious

 

And if anyone is looking for more upcoming music in this vein (and yes aesthetic), Victors are worth keeping an eye on

 

Slow down is better, but they’ve been pretty great for a little bit.

 

Wish the panic division guy could sing so I could try to compare the two lolololol

 

What’s the best Panic Division song?

 

I've never heard more obnoxious sounding drums

 

Panic Division is the band that made the "Love Will Tear Apart The Goddamn Door" song right

 

“Big Day” I think was the relatively popular one from back in the day.

 

Always loved that one, I think I remember hearing it on ap.net first at the time

 

I concur about "Victors" - this style and aesthetic is so in right now, and I'm all for it; the more we get from whoever the better

 

So Victors doesn't fall in the 1975 copy cat bands you detest? Surprised. Who is in that group and who is not in that group?

 

Loyals, Arizona, The Wldlfe, Nightly, Victors, Joan, Brette, San Scout, Prides, Los Leo, True Blue, Hotel Apache, La Bouquet, and new(er) Cruisr have all been in pretty constant rotation this spring.

 

All these, sooo good

 

I'm definitely forgetting one or two, but it's a weekly mad-dash to see if new tunes drop on Friday. The Band Camino, Nightly, and Hotel Apache are all really big on my one's to watch list, but San Scout is a dark horse.

 

"Twenty Something" by Nightly I've probably listened to more than any other track in the last month; just love the flow, the lyrics, the mood, everything

 

I love it, but I also love No Call, No Reply just as much. Can't believe they've been so active just after releasing that great EP/LP whatever it was.
