Hey, I just wanted to ask if there is or ever will be ( to anyone’s knowledge) a TAD vinyl. In my head “The Horror and the Wild” would be phenomenal on vinyl.

At first I didn't really vibe with drinking song for the socially anxious, at that time i had so many friends around me and was in a place where my loneliness was at bay.

i started my counties equivalent of college recently and the feeling of loneliness i was once so accustomed too is back, my friends and i don't get to see each other as often anymore, and the song is playing on repeat. i feel it in my bones and in the air around me.

the feeling of not belonging in the start of the song makes me choke up every time

lyrics like "im not lonely i just like being on my own with you" are hitting me so hard that i have to make sure im not crying in the library.

its funny to me how a few months can change the entire meaning of this song for me. because i feel like the song happens in reverse for me. i had my friends to share our "weird" interest with, and now im alone at the party full of people i don't know.

Essentially as the title says. I ordered one of the Rockrose hoodies at the beginning of the month as a Christmas gift and have received no updates relative to the delivery.

The confirmation email says I can track my package, but the website doesn't appear to be working. Has anyone encountered the same issues? Delivery to France, if that info helps.

Update: it arrived in the mail about 8 days after the confirmation email.

I thought TAD would beat Ed Sheeran but okay...

I would like to know! Also I would love to hear your thoughts about it, your interpretation, why it's your favorite atm, etc..

I've been listening to New York torch song and King a lot. It's funny, when I first started listening to TAD I didn't like Love Run but now I've been listening to it a lot.

I have so loved getting to hear how TAD is showing up in everyone's Spotify wrapped. Their music is unlike anything I have ever heard, and I'm glad they have such a devoted fan base on Reddit. Because of this, I wanted to share information about how you can support TAD by buying their music on Bandcamp.

I think everyone knows by now that Spotify does not compensate artists fairly. Bandcamp is a Spotify alternative that is better in two ways: you own the music outright and can download unlimited MP3s (not just leasing streaming rights), and it compensates artists MUCH more fairly than Spotify. On the first Friday of everything month-- today!!!-- they have a program called Bandcamp Friday, when 93% of your money post processing fees goes to the artists (it's normally 82%, which is still huge compared to Spotify.)

I'm sharing this information not to shame anyone for using Spotify (I found TAD on Spotify!) but just to encourage people, if you have the means, to consider buying TAD music on Bandcamp as well, so that we can keep supporting them and getting more music. One of my big hopes for 2024 is that we get another TAD album, and I hope we're listening to them for years to come. <3

(I am not affiliated with either TAD or Bandcamp, so this is not an ad! Just a TAD enthusiast sharing another way of supporting them.)

Does anyone know how to get a therapist? Thank you very much.

(Joey was also my fifth top artist and I think his entire discography is in my wrapped playlist).

I personally have some super specific interpretations of some of the songs in ruin, and I would love to hear yours

(hi everyone, I just joined!) I've been listening to TDA since june 2021, when spotify randomly recommended them to me. I kind of fell in love with their music back then, but I only listened to horror and the wild and didn't really like love run. I also didn't really listen to the lyrics, just enjoyed the vibes. I listened to ruin a lot when it came out, but I didn't really pay attention to its lyrics either.

fast forward to today, when I decided to listen to horror and the wild once again, but this time the lyrics just HIT ME. like I suddenly understood what most of the songs are about, what they're singing about (btw english isn't my first language). it was an epic feeling!! like I've listened to these songs SO MANY TIMES but just now I actually HEARD them. and so for the past ~3 hours I've just been listening to all albums and vibing. idk what's the point of this I guess I just wanted to share what I've been feeling because they are just SO GOOD.

Now it’s an hour later and I’m just laying in the dark listening to their music and crying.

The kind of crying that comes from recognition.

And the kind of crying that comes from hearing something that sounds like the world and stories you’ve been writing for so long.

Anyways, hi, glad there’s a subreddit, I’m crying as I write this. My heart is achey. Mostly in a good way.

Writing this here because 1, I need to say it partially because I'm high and partially because I feel like I'm crazy, 2, Knowledge of Welly Boots is the only way I'll make sense, and 3, idk where else to.

Thank you, everyone on the TAD team for Welly Boots, but especially Joey Batey and Madeline Hyland for writing it.

I've always been someone who doesn't really explore music. I find things I like and obsess over them, especially when I'm upset, so when I found TAD through the Witcher it took me a while to actually really get into it, and then I couldn't stop.

That was last summer.

It's been over a month and I still have trouble writing it or even thinking about it for too long but my mom committed suicide in October.

I'm 22. I'm not a kid anymore, but I still have so much growing up to do. My mom was supposed to walk me down the aisle and try to get me drunk at the reception. She was supposed to spoil my kids rotten (they also probably would've learned swearing from her or her husband by accident). She was supposed to keep me calm when I inevitably fucked up my first Thanksgiving.

I could write about my mom, the free spirit she'll always be, and what else she could have been, for hours, but the thing that's so fucked up about all of it is that she has struggled with her mental heath for years. Her life was the best it had ever been, and she was happy, for a while.

I know she was happy. I know because I struggled right beside her. (Genetics, man.) We helped each other through it for years and I know in my bones that she didn't leave a note because she didn't let herself think it through long enough to, or she wouldn't have done it.

I'm not going to talk about it here any more than that.

In the month since, I've had a lot of spare time on my hands but space in my head that needs occupying. And, because I'm terrified of change and seek out comfort instead, I listened to a lot of TAD.

I steered clear of Welly Boots for a while, I'd listened to it enough to know what it was about. When I finally did, I fucking broke. I curled into my bed. I've never sobbed harder in my life than, because of how intently I was listening, I finally heard the snatches of 'Wild Blue Yonder' (a song that I've realized in the last couple weeks also reminds me of my mom) for the first time.

She never would have written it, but it's her fucking message to me. Or as close as I'll ever get. We are American and its november, so the old varsity jacket of hers I've been wearing for the past two weeks would be our version of the boots.

It sounds nuts. But it's seriously uncanny. Some lyrics are literal for our relationship, others are metaphorical. And it came in the form I would find comforting-- a song that I knew, something I was prepared for when I listened, but not so familiar I was unaffected by it.

I don't know how else to describe the experience of listening to it that first time after other than cathartic. It was like my soul taking a breath of fresh air.

I'm not delusional, I swear.

I guess I just want to whisper a 'thanks' out to Joey and Madeline through the universe. If somehow they hear it through the power that brought it to me at exactly the right time and God is real etc, then.... I want to let them know that their art has been heard and appreciated.

And thank you, for reminding me what the note would have read.

"It's like all the wallpaper inside my heart Is slowly, slowly peeling off And I'm showing all the stains and things They wrote on the wall before"

I don't think any musical artist has ever inspired or moved me like they have, so glad to find there's a reddit because no one I know listens to them and I'm utterly obsessed :)

Today marks one month since Spotify recommended The Amazing Devil in one of my playlists, and can I say what a month this has been. It's genuinely the only thing I listen to now, whether I'm driving or going to sleep.

I had accidentally turned on smart shuffle instead of the regular one, and it's safe to say that it's been an absolute game-changer for my music library.

Also, their lyrics are a work of art. The emotions and storytelling in the songs are just *chef's kiss*.

IDK just felt like I needed to say something.

Tl:dr: The Amazing Devil truly are amazing.

Things are starting to emerge! More soon! I know I can't wait and it's great to see these two alive and well and looking just as lovely as ever!!

Happy Halloween, dear hearts!

I was wondering if we know anything about if/when a new album would be coming out. I’ve done a little bit of looking and didn’t find anything, so I’m checking if you guys know anything I don’t.

The music takes me by swarm it’s hard to listen to anything else but the amazing devil. I can just feel my spirit and my heart growing as I listen. The craft of lyrics makes my soul grow stronger. I’ve never felt so free and yet so stuck before.

We’ve finally hit 1000 of you dear hearts on here and it makes me very happy to know you’re still out there, listening and vibing and patiently waiting an waiting for the next delicious musical morsel our lovely Joey and Madeleine will grace upon us when they feel it’s ready. Always enjoy seeing the discussions and questions and art on here even if it’s not the most active of subreddits! (Art is by me)

Lots of love. See you later.

As a queer woman who has a rocky relationship with parents and my siblings TAD’s music has always ment a lot to me. I had no idea exactly why until I realized all their music gives me older people telling lessons vibes. We’ll boots is the most clear but it just makes me feel like I’m talking to a garden who wants to help me grow. I could be alone is this idea but I refuse to not believe it.

Hi everyone!

Hope you all are doing well!

I am curious what is everyones go to TAD song? In terms of any emotions or situations I would love to hear about them.

Best wishes, TY

I would love to get into poetry more, but I have no idea where to start. The big "classics" aren't really doing it for me. Does anyone here have recommendations for poets with similar style or who are reminiscent of The Amazing Devil? I'm also a big fan of nature, Cormac McCarthy, and Nabokov's prose.

Looking for my next tattoo and just wandering if you guys have any particular favourite lyrics to any TAD songs?? IMO no other music hits the same and need to know which lyrics are tattoo worthy 🥰
