Inconspicuous Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Couldn't find a thread on these guys. Seasons is a phenomenal song. I really like it. I tried listening to their other stuff but it all just seems a bit meh. Shame really. Although if nothing else is on I might have a wander over to wherever they are, Park? Singer seems to be a bit of a nutcase. Solid dance moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomViolence Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm a big fan of the last album but I'm yet to check out their previous stuff. Definitely going to watch them... my guess is they'll play the JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untz Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Third down JP, or something grim like that, I reckon. Top of my, admittedly very small, must see list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_man_joe Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 The latest album is pure class. As is the case for many people I'm sure, on the back of that Jools appearance I would love to see these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robot86 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 They put on a fantastic show at The Roundhouse a few weeks back. Definitely predict JP tent for them. It is impossible not to dance with that guy on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghandi Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 They won't headline the JP. maybe as said third or second down, love seasons and think they front man is great, i am interested but depends where i am and clashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 third or second down on JP. really REALLY want to see them but, as with all of the top two acts, anticipate a huge clash, so we shall have to wait and see. Singles is a brilliant album (although Seasons is far and away the best song on there so it all goes very slightly downhill after that opens up the album) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnomatic Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 One of my must-sees. Took me a while to get into them, and though a lot of their material does sound relatively similar (particularly within albums), I think it works for them. Seasons is one of my favourite songs from the last couple of years, but Balance, Spirit and Back In The Tall Grass are near-equal in brilliance.

whisty Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Wonder how long it'll be before the weird dancing, growling and his The Shining impressions get boring. Did like the Jools sho wtho Edited April 26, 2015 by whisty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandycoke Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Recommend anyone interested in them to listen to In Evening Air from a few years back. Its my favourite album of theirs. Swept Inside and Tin Man are belters. Headlining JP or subbing The Park I reckon. Cheers, i'll need to check that out. Only heard the album 'Singles', which i really like. Strange that the most popular tune is the first track on that album, then again, they probably may not have known that when arranging the track listing.

billum Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Love that Seasons song a lot, but found other stuff on that album a bit so-so. But on the basis of reports on here, sounds like I should check out some earlier stuff, and especially that it's still worth catching their live set (as long as it's not on the JP, which i find a bit tricky).

cartonio Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 The album 'Singles' is a standout. 'Seasons' is a great tune. When they played rome, after 2 o 3 three songs all the audience was conquired and everyone was singing. Amazing show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForgotBloodyUsername Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Love Back in the Tall Grass. Hoping to see them, I was thrilled when I saw them on the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 One of the highlights for me, I'm guessing JP or Other. Thought Singles was a decent album, a couple of shit songs but overall pretty good. If they clash with Motorhead then I'll be very depressed and extremely confused.

chazza36 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Long flight is also a great tune. The lead singer will have the crowd bouncing and chest slapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackHole2006 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Don't really think much of the songs, the guy has got some cracking moves though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanderlyle Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Did anybody watch this gig and NOT think it was top 3 of the festival? Feel pretty bad they were alongside Lionel, but still drew a good crowd and put on an absolutely outstanding performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Shanty Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 They were absolutely outstanding. The crowd was really small at the start but I thought it grew steadily and after the Pyramid crowd started coming over, it really packed up well. If that kind of performance can't put a smile on your face, you're in trouble. I was struggling to get going on Sunday but I felt great by the end of their set. Can't wait to see them again in September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Mouse Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Me and a friend left Lionel just before all night long. The toughest decision I had to make this year but also the best. Their set was phenomenal. By the end, the length of the applause at the end of the each song was about a third longer than the applause I could remember for any other act I saw that weekend. A sign of the audiences true appreciation for Sam and the boys effort and enthusiasm. It felt like such a bloody moment. I had goosebumps throughout Seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untz Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm glad I left Lionel early. It was amazing and I had a great view of the stage and screen despite being quite far forward. That three song run of Seasons, Tin Man and Spirit was incredible. I'm too scared of watching the footage back in case I spot myself. Good grief I was excited.

FuzzyDunlop Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Did anybody watch this gig and NOT think it was top 3 of the festival? It was my favourite. Loved it from the start. From Seasons onwards it became something else. Sunday had began to take its toll, I became tired and aching, then this happened and I was full of it again. 5 stars from me.

SonOfTroyMcClure Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 When Lionel started playing We Are The World I made a move to get out early and get over to Future Islands. Caught the majority of their set and thought it was incredible. Easily top 3, one of my all-time favourite Glastonbury performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
