I always preferred the way the vocals were layered in the pre-chorus of the early mix

Thank you, it’s from stencils. I have zero artistic ability so stunned I even managed this! Just can’t decide whether to add the patches, the hoodie is Getty pretty done.

Is that all hand drawn that’s so cute!

Cool! I like it!😍

My hoodie so far https://www.instagram.com/p/DKpGn7ktIDZ/?igsh=N3N5czZkdjJxdDcw

RevRad looked great, especially that one photo of them behind the black and white graffiti wall

Alice Baxley has just posted on IG that she’s about to leave for Europe. Five weeks with the band. They are COMING!!!😃

Yes, this is the leaked version from 2023. The are just some differences in the mixing, I suggest to use headphones or a good sound system to notice them.

I dig it. Also Oakland coffee ❤️

the Father of All music video says that it's directed by "hella mega unicorn". WHAT? is Pukey a real unicorn that directed music videos?

That’s our boy. Thanks for finding that

Yeah, Zac Carper is Alice Baxley's brother that Billie helped. "The last time Carper left rehab, he was determined to use again. He was depressed, and all of his close friends but Schwartzel had abandoned him. The only others who hung around were still using themselves. Fortunately, he got a call from Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, who had gone through addiction problems of his own. He talked to him for an hour on the phone, advising Carper that it was worth it to try to stay clean. “I probably wouldn’t be sober today if Billie Joe didn’t call,” he says. “He really helped me when no one else was there.” "

Definitely American Idiot. For me, that's the only one where they really got all the branding aligned. Merch, posters, concerts, pretty much all their media has cohesion in the branding. It helped that it was basically 3 colors, red, white, black. The promo they had from partnerships matched in style. Since then, I'd Saviors is the only other one that has been close to being consistent.

Alice Baxley’s brother is a band member. I think he’s the one that did the mix. IIRC, I think FIDLAR were also connected to SWMRS and the Armstrongs through the insular California punk community. They may have collaborated at one time or shared a producer but certainly were friends too until the whole Lydia thing when I think they had a falling out (This was after SWMRS were found to be pointing the finger at other bands acting all pure and noble just before they were accused themselves). Anyway, I also want to say there was another personal connection in the band between a member of FIDLAR overcoming addiction and Billie Joe being a great source of help and support.

The big hairdo is the best for me haha

I like the feedback and the rawness, less polished in a good way. Need to listen not just out of my phone though and come back. I wonder what there connection to FIDLAR is? I suspect a photographer/videographer, I thought I saw something on insta like that.

I took it as about his attitude toward his self-destructive tendencies. Like the impulse is still there but he’s learned to, well, let it go. Kinda tied in to that line in Look Ma, No Brains! “it’s too late now for my suicide”.

The best!!😂

awww look at lennyyyyyyy good boy ❤️

This looks really good! Great job!

I actually like this better than the original . The effects are cool, they do make me dizzy tho haha. If you stare at those hands long enough it just looks like there is something stuck between the fingers lmao

I love that! I actually sew custom patches. I trace the design and sew it by hand (I don't have a sewing machine.) I have sewn Green Day, Alkaline Trio, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Star Wars, and I am working on a Slipknot one right now. I always work through the pain of sewing a thick patch onto a clothing item, haha. You did a great job!

I did, but still the needle would slip and get me when I pushed. It was hard but I did it. Here it is! https://www.instagram.com/p/DKm9LwPRIJN/?igsh=bXdlN2ZrMzZhY3A0

Patches are a pain to sew on but don’t forget you can make it a little easier on your hands and use a thimble, old fashioned but really helps when they are thick.

I'm not much of a sewing expert but it was hard as they are quite thick, so if you have the option of a needle that goes through thicker fabric easier it would be a good idea but I agree with @Mollyluna a thicker needle would be worse
