Our Debut EP: 'The Mountain Calls' is now live to pre-order!
You can listen to the first single, Feumaidh tu Leigheas, on bandcamp and streaming now.
You Must Heal.
⚠️BREAKING⚠️
Is 'trying to scrape a living for yourself and your crew from dwindling profits in the music industry' good praxis, or is it 'poser energy'?
More at 10pm from our on-scene reporters on twitter, this is Punk News.
The sound engineer had absolutely no idea we were meant to be playing last night and i cannot tell you how bad i felt pulling out a footlong pepper grinder with a jack attached to it and our synth player turning up to soundcheck with a panini grill.
I always laugh when someone says, "I can't listen to that band, their name is dumb." Every band name is kinda dumb! The Beatles is dumb. Sex Pistols is dumb. U2 is dumb. Fugazi is dumb. Soundgarden is dumb. Yeah Yeah Yeahs is dumb. Vampire Weekend is dumb. etc. etc
@s0methingsweet
The label brought him in because they said that Amy alone couldn't sell the track in the mainstream without the rap rock part and iirc the band hated it, they re recorded it a couple years ago.
Band broke up and we still had gigs lined up so we made up a band where we dress as chefs and I read Delia Smith's Beef Stew recipe to a beat and someone served paninis on stage and two years later we're supporting Crywank.
I’ve known a ton of people who get crazy ideas and make plans, but DIY MFs are some of the most commit to the bit people I’ve met and actually follow through with those crazy ideas
Perhaps unsurprising but accommodations for bands in the UK are miles better than they are in the US: almost every venue feeds us, gives us hella beers, some venues even have hostels attached that you can sleep at for free. America gotta step up the game (in so many aspects).
SO YEAH A 16 YEAR OLD KID STOLE AROUND 10 ALBUMS FROM DIFFERENT BANDS AND CLAIMED THEY RECORDED THEM ALL THEMSELVES AND GOT RYM ALBUM OF THE MONTH ALSOTHEY TOOK OLD PICTURES OF THEM AND SAID THEY WERE THIER BANDMATES AND ONLY GOT FOUND OUT BECAUSE OF THE YOUTUBE COPYRIGHT SYSTEM
'you shouldn't go to shows where you haven't heard the artists music'
Yeah well last year I went to a 50 cap venue because I heard a guy was going to scream into a snare drum and i did and he did scream into a snare drum.
If I didn't I wouldn't have experienced that.
Singer running Twitter: annoying, loud, too much ego, if they're a wrongun then band over
Bassist running social media: spends more time talking to other bands than fans, 0 riz; less change of wrongunsness, easily replaced.
The real 5th wave of emo is/was trap rap & SoundCloud emo rap.
Lil Peep is Emo, lil Uzi Vert is emo, XxxTentacion is emo, Juice World is emo, Bladee is emo, Yung Lean is emo, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal is emo, Scarlxrd is emo.
I don't get the rap scene rn lmao. It's just dudes getting mad at each other and writing musical poems to see who has the best punchline like bro go to therapy 😭🤣
Re-stringed my jag and spent three hours last night playing two chords into a shit ton of reverb so I think it's safe to say I'm entering my Shoegaze era.
I'm really sorry that a bunch of people were today years old when they learned about AI for fiction. But I've been publishing with it since December 2021. Others even longer. It's not going away. Amazon is invested in it and bringing it on their platforms.
wait maybe im just dumb n don’t know shit about edm but why is aphex twin playing other ppl’s music?? is that just normal like you go see a famous EDM artist and they DJ someone else’s track?? what’s even the point of paying to see that famous DJ then
"This song goes out to all my Trans Friends and those in the LGBTQ+ Community"
'wait, are we skipping a song?'
"oh fuck, erm, THIS SONG IS ABOUT BATMAN RETURNS"

👨🍳👩🍳🧑🍳👩🍳👨🍳👩🍳🧑🍳🔪🍴
We'll be serving up a four course menu of aural delights to kick off the evening!
I just got fired from twitter today, i was the head of the diy emo twitter deptarment so i'm sorry to tell you that discourse is gonna be cut back 86% and 5th wave has just been straight up cancelled.
@hausofdecline
I'm in a band called Chef de Party where we all dressed up as chefs and serve a menu of music and someone makes panini's on stage 👨🍳
Here's us supporting Crywank.
@CrywankBand
and your second single isn't performing nearly as well as the first.
which is something I'd only care about for island record signed bands.
Looking at Dot to Dot though The Dare is on there and they only have an EP out
Hit tweet follow my Chef themed band Chef de Party, we have no social media pages, play maybe twice a year and only release music in the form of recipe cards so you have to make it yourself at home.
Disappointing to see
@bbcintroducing
push this narrative.
Artists, always negotiate fair compensation for your labour and don't be short changed for your time.
Album art is forever and it will always be intertwined with your music artistically, why would you use AI and not work with someone to design something that works with your art and represents the hard work you put into it.
@Skatunenetwork
Also Jeff literally went on to explain why he can't play other venues when a lot of them have been bought up by Love Nation e.t.c. it was in the thread 🙃
weve always seen the diy emo discord as a place for all diy bands no matter what genre, so weve changed the name to just DIY Discord! small change but i just wanna stress that any diy music should be shared and celebrated in there!
@mountbellyache
completely agree, someone saw that David Guetta is repurposing eurodance from 1998 and thought 'what's the gen z equivalent of *that*?
Then settled with the floating through space meme from 2014 for some reason
@grace_roso
Same thing happened with Little Simz just after she won a mercury prize, in the UK especially we're failing our artists in general and the big labels need to start investing.
