Touché Amoré - Stage Four (September 16, 2016) Album • Page 9

ah, get it

the same except I would exchange Wildlife for Rooms

 

The wave is here
You a wavey dude anyway, so you already know
Ain't no problem, man, the game...
You already know how this game thing goes
Do your wave
You got the official wave man

 

make do and mend, defeater, pianos, la dispute, touche

the wave

 

Make Do and Mend is a part of this? No one ever talks about them lol.

 

make do and mend? they sound nothing like those other bands.

 

Yep, those are the 5. But really Pianos, LD, and Touché are the popular ones

 

when the term came out they were in that group, haha

also it was defeater not title fight, i fixed it

 

defeater is bigger than pianos

 

I think it had more to do with them coming from around the same area and just being friends before making music, more so than the sound of their bands.

 

Really? That's a bummer. Not a big Defeater fan

 

i'm not a fan either, but yeah, would honestly say pianos has sort of stagnated in popularity, not sure the last record really skyrocketed them much compared to what they would have if they would have done another screamo record

they're probably the most interesting and challenging band of the group anyways

 

Yeah I do agree with that. They meld that indie and post rock feel in with the post hardcore stuff. Definitely an outlier out of the group, but the most rewarding too

 

In new england maybe

 

Defeater is absolutely bigger than pianos

 

Yeah, per spotify monthly listeners Deafeater @ 75K monthly and Pianos @ 35K.

For some reason, thought Pianos was bigger.

Also, Emarosa is like 330K monthly listeners. Did not realize they were that big.

 

Pianos are pretty much a cult act, I'd say

 

Warped tour acts are huge

 

I see title fight more than Make Do and Mend on being in that list.

 

damnit, i'm two days late to fight about the best la dispute record.

its wildlife btw

 

I can always count on you for Wildlife backup.

 

Defeater is wonderful but their last record was a snooze. Even though they're bigger than pianos, I still think of the big three as pianos, LD and touché. Those three have collectively put out more great music than any other group of three bands that I can think of in the past 5ish years

 

I listened to Keep You, TLLA, Wildlife, Rooms, Parting The Sea, and Is Survived By today.

Parting is actually really, really good. The others are also brilliant of course. It's been a good day.

 

I mean yeah
I'm literally just quoting what the actual "wave" is though

 

yeah its not something Casey and I just made up, its a joke amongst all those bands. Geoff Rickly also kind of helped stir it up, hes often said that he felt like he passed the torch that Thursday carried for so long onto those bands, particularly Pianos LA and Touche.

 

HAH. :)
