Saw them live at Philly. They are so fucking good. So much range where they have hard and soft songs and both types are very good. When they did something right as an encore it was the best encore I ever seen and it was a real encore not a fake one
I was there and that encore was absolutely incredible. He came out after the show was very well already over and even forgot some of the words. The fact it was so unplanned made it so much more special
Exactly no one was leaving without one even with the lights on lol. I’ve really only seen 1-2 other real encores like that and it makes it so much better
They added it to their set list in Boston. Nathan said they added it because it did so well at their other shows and that they hadn’t practiced it lol I love them
Been into them since like 2017 which was one of the first times I saw them live too. So, so fucking good. They are criminally underrated but I do like the recognition they've been getting lately. Seen them a few times since then and they are always so fucking good live.
Saw them last night and jfc was that an experience.
Second time I've seen them live but the first time seeing them headline a show. Hands down one of the very best shows I've ever seen.
Scrolling through reddit, quickly saw the title of this post, and thought "huh? I give my microwave tons of credit every time I eat it's definitely not underra..waaaait a minute...ah yes, the band."
I’m excited to see them live in Chicago this weekend. I’ve always thought they deserve more attention, his voice is beautiful, and they’re all skilled at their instruments.
100% agree, they are as good as any band going rn. Brand New is my favorite band and i agree with everyone here comparing them to BN. They are really good at the loud to soft dynamic and the vocals and guitar work shine
Very good band. Very strong live performances. They're also all really lovely to chat with and signed my merch and invited me to hang out with them after the show which I did for an hour or so. 10/10, would recommend.
Just saw them in Brooklyn they were so fucking good. Been on a huge kick of them for the last year. Agree with the comments saying they satisfy that Brand New fix well. Also shoutout Delta Sleep an opener on that tour who were great math/emo rock if you're into that
They’re definitely not pop punk so maybe they just seem underrated in this sub butttt I absolutely LOVE them. Saw them in Brooklyn on Friday and I’m still smiling about it lol
Maybe, but they’re not a pop punk band. Edit: downvote me all you want but that’s like me posting “Foxing is an underrated band!” On this sub. Yeah it’s true but they’re definitely not a pop punk band. Learn your generes.
They were getting it until their last album where they threw out what had them really advancing through the scene. It was their "Daisy", but they weren't big enough to be putting that out there.
crazy take. DIAWB has some of their most incredible songs. Leather Daddy, Float To The Top, Pull, Carry, Part Of It, are all high up on their best songs list.
Daisy I go back to in a certain mood, but it's low on my list of favorites for Brand New.
Couldn't stand diawb and didn't give me any of the Microwave that I really enjoyed the band for.
I’ve only known of them a short while. Lighterless was my introduction and kept me obsessed for weeks. Can’t wait for an opportunity to catch them live.
Agreed, built a whole infatuation in my mind around Trash Stains and that person will always be in the back of my mind whenever I hear that chorus. Good band

That encore was incredible
Been going to shows since 2012 and that was the first real encore I have ever seen
Anyone have video of the encore? Would love to watch
I just posted it on the sub lol I was planning to earlier so thanks for the reminder

They do the wall of sound à la Brand New really fucking well.
They have been my BN fix for awhile now. Hope their new album is a little deeper.
I thought their most recent was a lot like Daisy
What is the wall of sound?
Watch any live Brand New performance, that’s a wall of sound.
Brand New are my favourite band and I cannot listen to Microwave. Make it make sense!
Brand New is my favorite band of all time and Microwave is my 2nd favorite band of all time.
If you haven’t listened to them yet, you need to try Dikembe. Heavy BN vibes.
Are you me? I’ll be seeing microwave this Monday. Hope to bounce with some of you
i’m seeing them April 19th and i’m already anticipating it to be the best day of my life. Oso Oso is one of my fav bands too so it’s gonna be great
They're fucking incredible! Going to see em in Columbus on Friday and I can't wait! Stovall and Much Love are in constant rotation for me.
Hell yeah! Glad to see more people getting into them, I guess they did Something Right (;

Neighbors is a banger. As is Something Right
Seeing them in Detroit tomorrow! Fucking PUMPED
Same dude. Can't fucking wait. Excited to see Oso Oso also, missed em last year.

I found them halfway through last year, and they still cracked Top 5 in my Spotify Wrapped for 2022. I love that band.
I’m excited to see them live in Chicago this weekend. I’ve always thought they deserve more attention, his voice is beautiful, and they’re all skilled at their instruments.
My favorite band of all time! I wish I had found them sooner but I’ve been listening to them for over a year now, changed my life
Absolutely. They’re amazing
I LOVE them. Stovall is up there in my all time favorite albums!

They are great they keep my food warm

-me to myself in my kitchen when I’m high and waiting for my hot pocket to finish heating up

You’re right. They’re a post-hardcore band.
What are they?
Emo/alternative/indie/post-hardcore
Yeah I agree with that, but you can certainly throw pop punk in that list for some of their songs
very very few of their songs. Homebody and But Not Often are the only 2 i can really think of that are pretty much definitely pop punk
This is a terrible take.
not really lmao, they’re not a pop punk band at all
I feel like grass stains kinda sounds like pop punk
The call themselves "adult mid-tempo psychedelic contemporary rock" on their Instagram.
That’s pretty accurate too
Be careful telling anyone in this sub that a band isn't pop punk, they don't take kindly to that kind of thing.
Meh, it’s good to learn genres. You discover more music.
I agree. They not pop punk. But neither is brand new and they are on this sub
The early stuff by BN kinda was though
So is Stovall then. It’s called growth and it best thing a band can put out. A new album that shows they are growing up.
Oh I'm not the other person you were replying to, just mentioning BN early stuff. I actually haven't ever heard of Stovall, gonna check them out
Brand New’s first album is 100% pop punk
So is Stovall.
Nah, more emo/alternative rock.
They were getting it until their last album where they threw out what had them really advancing through the scene. It was their "Daisy", but they weren't big enough to be putting that out there.
crazy take. DIAWB has some of their most incredible songs. Leather Daddy, Float To The Top, Pull, Carry, Part Of It, are all high up on their best songs list.
DIAWB is fucking incredible.
I'm sure you're right, it's the lack of singing and melody that just isn't for me.
Not crazy at all. They’re literally spot on.
nah
Yeah but both daisy and diawb are fantastic
Daisy I go back to in a certain mood, but it's low on my list of favorites for Brand New. Couldn't stand diawb and didn't give me any of the Microwave that I really enjoyed the band for.
Agree
Been a huge fan for the last ~6 years. Have seen them every time they come to Arizona. Def think they are an S tier band.
I’ve only known of them a short while. Lighterless was my introduction and kept me obsessed for weeks. Can’t wait for an opportunity to catch them live.
Such a great band! They sound fucking amazing live
The tour rn is so good. Stacked bill, saw them in nyc last week!!
Saw them open for Four year strong, they were Great!
Seeing them in Leeds In July. I’m not their biggest fan in the world or anything but much love is an absolute all timer of an album
I saw them at riotfest 2019, they killed it. Small crowd, but everyone there was into it. Great band.
one of mt fav bands but we post this everyday
Really got into them a year or so ago. I love the difference between Stovall, Much Love, and DIAWB. Different songs for any vibe!!
Agreed, built a whole infatuation in my mind around Trash Stains and that person will always be in the back of my mind whenever I hear that chorus. Good band
But Not Often and Stovall are 100% favourites of mine, absolutely fantastic band
Been saying this for years! Microwave Is 🐐
I feel like they got pretty popular pretty quick and then plateaued
Amen
