Imagine being 17 years old and having a dream of making it as a band, putting your heart and soul into making an album, having to grow up and give up on that dream only to have it come true 20 years later all because someone found your old album in a thrift shop and decided to share it with the world. It's a beautiful coincidence in a universe of chaos.

[SaturnTubes]

Can we talk about how amazingly well his voice aged? It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 30 years since he recorded the tracks

[Suvyoh]

Honestly the 2000s didn’t know what they’ve missed. This is a true masterpiece, respect !!!!
Gave me chills

[eymn-]

the echoing guitar in this version of Deathmetal just makes it so much more ethereal and almost dreary, like a sense of melancholy

[kittyfemboy]

owain has such an amazing voice and the fact that the deathemtal ep was recorded when they were teenagers is amazing

[cantiwithhatofgreens]

so crazy, from releasing a ep/album with some friends.. too 2016 the 4chan MU post, too 2019 the beginning of the search too 2020 the Meta improving! Till this right now. This must be so surreal for you guys. The craziest comeback ever. So excited and so happy to be apart of all this and seeing everything unfold. Thank you Panchiko

[froufroudeluxe]

I was listening to this in my bed the night after my childhood cat passed away.. she always used to sleep next to me on that bed.
Needless to say, I cried a lot

[hypogrrrl]

i dont think enough people in the comments are talking about how FANTASTIC the mix is on this track! going from the original EP (or hell, even the disc rot version) to this is mindblowing. I don't think anyone in the band could've expected this track would ever be experienced in this form but I'm so so grateful it exists :)

[plaguedocter]

Why did I just find out about their story and I’m im crying idk why just the idea of a group of kids who never knew their passion project was going to become such a big internet phenomenon and finally being able to be enjoyed by thousands. As a kid who also creates stuff 🤓this just seems like the dream. For people to see what I make and have it reach this far. This is such a special story to me

[manuelescalantecervantes]

OMFG, If i die now i don’t care, i lived at the same time this version of Kicking cars exists

[xVibri]

It's insane how Owain's voice matured but didn't go bad at all. Who knows how many years he went without pursuing music and he still kills it all the way in 2021. That's talent.

[sakura_sauce]

I’m so honoured to have been at this show, I genuinely enjoyed it so much and it was worth the wait :)
I was the Irish person that traveled over to watch it and I enjoyed meeting ya after the show, hope you liked that art I made for you :)

Cheers and have a good Christmas!
Thanks for everything :)

Edit: Forgot to mention that surprise mention you gave me and my relative before you played DEATHMETAL, I’m still reliving that lol.

[kurtflint]

This album just rides a fine line between shoegaze and dream pop so perfectly!

[falkensadler]

ive become absolutely obsessed with this band and its history. such amazing music, im so glad it was able to resurface

[justdayana_]

Two decades later and the song is still fucking good, can’t wait to see how you guys are gonna come far in the future

[mmstudio]

Yes! I can finally see the singer's face with a decent quality.

[icelegacy]

imagine just waking up to something you made 20 years ago blowing up overnight. Would truly be a surreal experience im sure. It’s great that they can keep their sound after all these years.

[pudindipreda]

It's amazing seeing just a small garage band that started and died out in the early 2000's, finally having a chance years later due to the sheer curiosity of the internet :) congrats for yall <3

[jackxyz]

Your voice sounds so good here! I wasn't sure what to expect but you guys all killed it! Love from the US <3

[scoutlaski]

If you guys released this show on Blu-Ray I would buy it in a heartbeat. That rendition of Deathmetal is a thing of beauty.
