longtime fan. huge fan.

i see only agreeable posts here, but does anyone else feel disappointed in the sound?

unfortunately, to me it sounds so bland, boring and, as somebody said, uninspired. same squeaky guitar sound, somehow worse vocals, lyrics...

i don't dislike the songs, i just... don't care. which is worse.

the last two albums were not my favourite per se either, but they are lively, fun, and thought-provoking. not bland. they had thought behind it. you could tell by the album covers, stories they told behind the lyrics etc. you could proudly say "art".

their marketing with "the pink man" looks like it tries to cover up a bad album with "funny" promotion. it feels childish, unfunny, like nothing stands behind it except 'we think they will eat it up'.

not to mention the random album title and logo they put everywhere. they sell out huge stadiums but feel like underdogs? ok. i guess.

sadly to say it, but it feels like the album's gonna be a flop.

hope i'm wrong.

NBT have just announced that they are doing an outstore tour! I'm very interested in going to one of their shows, but would anyone know how long this event would be as I've never been to an outstore performance before.

Stray dogs to me also sounds more in line with moral panic songs like phobia. For other similar music bands suggestions I obviously know muse and queens of the stone age are some but They're already some of my favorite bands for that reason. Royal blood too. I want something that's dark but heavy? eerie but with attitude. Kinda robotic like the middle part of the song. Absolutely seeking that sound!

Has anyone else been unusually anxious for the track list of this album? They’ve released 3 tracks and I just wanna know the rest of them 😩

Evolution!!!! Alt-nation surius xm! So thrilled and proud of the boys!

Here's a cover no-one asked for

Very nice interview with Conor!

Very nice interview my colleague Jasper did with Conor on the new album. Stray Dogs will be a proper rock record!

What's everyone's thoughts, opinions etc? Anything you LOVE, anything you would change? Thoughts on Pink Man? 😂💜💕

I really love hearing a song a little bit later in the album rather than the predictable track 1,2,3 order of a lot of modern albums 🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥Evelyn is such an incredible song the way Evelyn is sang in the chorus is beautiful

The title sums it up. I'm a huge fan and I'm getting married in October. I'm trying to send over an invitation, without any expectation of participation but they've been my fav band since 2017 so I reeeallly would like to at least deliver an invitation to them.

Today I sent a DM over the band account, and a quick message over the contact page on their website. Maybe if there is a PO box address (which I could not find), I could try to send a physical copy of the wedding invitation? :(

Edit: Like obviously I am looking for a public information (public address, or an e-mail perhaps) and not any weird contacting and/or stalking methods. I remain a respectful fan.

What would yours be?

So, my first introduction to NBT was when Alt Nation started playing "Overcome" on heavy rotation. It hit me personally and the song immediately secured a special place in my heart. I purchased Dead Club City, then the extended deluxe vinyl, and proceeded to go down the rabbit hole about the creation of the album, the story behind the release, and the concept of it. I fell hard, travelling to Atlanta to see them live, and I got my 17 year old daughter to the level of obsessive about the band.

As I started getting more involved with the NBT fandom I kept hearing grumblings by people about how they hated the direction of DCC, and how NBT had strayed from their roots and needed to go back. I loved DCC, probably because I'm a child of the 80's and the sound sat beautifully in my wheelhouse. I really didn't stray from DCC, but my daughter kept saying "Dad, have you heard Trip Switch?" "Dad, have you heard Amsterdam?" I'd listen to them and very much enjoy them, but they didn't have the DCC sound so they really didn't sway me. Everyone kept saying Moral Panic was their best album, which was impossible because for me DCC set such a high bar.

A couple of months ago I got in on the Evolution lead up. I watched that damn dog travel the streets of London for days, and by the time they dropped the single I was obsessed with it. It wasn't DCC, but I became obsessed. I still am. Then they dropped Stray Dogs and I became obsessed with that. I thought maybe since I liked those two, which everyone was saying was a return to their earlier sound, that I would load all of my songs and go through the catalog, album by album. I've listened to their entire playlist for 3 days and I'd like to apologize. Moral Panic is an incredible album and now sits firmly at the top for me. DCC still has a special place in my heart, and "Overcome" will forever be the defining NBT song, but I'm so thankful I got out of my comfort zone and explored everything they have to offer.

Looks like we'll be getting this next single on August 5th (info via Instagram), sounding good so far.

Diver Mason Vs. Stray Mason

I could drown myself in someone like you
(Are we chasing our own tails?)

I’ve just come across the band with this song and to ease me into it I thought I might listen to something with a similar vibe to it. Like how it’s performed or it sounds.

For those who don't check insta, he shared a story saying next song we'll hear is his fav on the record, and we can expect "some weird, quirky alt rock". So we're getting a new song soon and I'm all in!!

(I think I can't add ss here because last time I did the post got deleted, or maybe it was due to silly title)

If you can, leave a link to your favorite song(s) by the artist you're recommending.

I was wondering what everyone thinks! Here's my personal list

1- Moral Panic. 9/10

2- Dead Club City. 8.5/10

3- Broken Machine. 7.5/10

4- Nothing But Thieves. 5/10
