The Menzingers - Hello Exile (October 4, 2019) Album • Page 128

Some highlights from Brad Cook's discography:

• Hurray For The Riff Raff - Life On Earth
• Snail Mail - Valentine
• Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud
• Big Red Machine - Big Red Machine
• Bon Iver - 22, A Million

 

That Waxahatchee records fucks so super excited to see what this is about.

 

Something sounds odd about the rhythm or pronunciation in the chorus. Production sounds good though, Greg’s voice sounds super clean

 

Song is awesome.

 

That’s a pivot. Interested to hear where that goes, especially on Tim’s songs

 

Is this out at midnight?

 

They just dropped the song on Patreon, it does in fact rock. They’re not announcing album tomorrow sadly (it comes out this year) but fall tour

 

Normalize releasing the lead single and announcing the album at the same time.

 

So we don’t get yelled at by Bayside for asking? Yea who remembers that haha?

 

I just feel like it's such a weird way to build buzz. It seems like we're finally getting the Gaslight Anthem album announcement soon, but it seems like there's less excitement around their return now than there was leading into the first single? Whereas, if you do it all at once, there's just a much more logical momentum build there.

I don't know, I'm sure there's some sort of science behind this kind of thing, but it has never made any sense to me.

 

“See blink did it and they’re like the biggest punk band in the world!”

 

This has been happening a lot more lately and it definitely sucks. I think it has to do with album stuff not being ready but the tour needing to go up and needing something to push alongside the tour I guess

 

This makes sense. Probably a vinyl thing.

 

I was pumped with what Olivia Rodrigo did lol Announced on a Monday her new album only 2 months out. Released new song that Friday. Love it.

I get things happen out of the band’s control to cause delays and all that, and I’m sure if I worked in marketing for a label I’d have a better perspective. I know for the TWY it was vinyl delays. Oldest Daughter came out in April. Album announced June. Album release September.

 

I’m sure Olivia rodrigo and her team get to jump the vinyl line as well.

 

Oh definitely, I’m sure it’s a whole thing.

Just stinks cause you know bands wanna get their music out and obviously so do fans but I’m sure there’s so much behind the scenes causing delays

 

Tour leaked early:

The Menzingers
Microwave
Cloud Nothings
Rodeo Boys

 

I need datesssss

 

Not the biggest fan of that lineup, but honestly the older I get, I’m more excited when I can just show up right before the headliner. Hoping we get some NW dates.

 

Will def go to see microwave.

 

Out

 

Song is fun, good to hear some grit in Greg’s voice again

 

Holy hell that is the good good

 

Okay yeah this is great
