So this is the EP? With only 3 songs? That's why it's digital only. Cause I sure hope the full thing comes on a CD. Want that lossless audio. Or just release the EP on a lossless flac audio site. :)

Ahh makes sense! :) Cheers! :)

Chasing the Ghost was an immediate favorite. Just a plain catchy song. Don't care for Taxi Driver yet. Love is for Losers has grown on me immensely. Still can't say I love the vocal filters, but maybe it's a stylistic thing. Hope they still release the rest of the songs!

Ahhh I love chasing a ghost. The high pitch ooohs Billie does  :wub:. Might be my favourite. Love is for losers  still catchy as hell though, wake up every morning with it in my head. Think I need to give taxi driver a few more listens

more in love with this after every listen. its kind of the sound i always thought green day would follow warning up with. so glad he put this out. 100x more hyped for the album now. god damn billie

Anybody make any Longshot wallpapers?

I'm severely sleep deprived, but I can say that I'm into all three songs on the EP. This was a pleasant surprise.

Posted

All three songs are great but wooooow I love Chasing a Ghost

 

I hope all three of these songs end up being on the full album too, I'd prefer having them all in the same place. Either way great to hear more from Billie so soon.

 

Anyone else catch that he called it his new "project" in his Instagram caption? I think that might further imply it's a solo thing

Best EP since Slappy

Anybody know if in Love is for Losers it's "Aching love is for losers" or "Hey kid love is for losers"?

I'm not a fan of Taxi Driver - it's just okay for me, really like Love Is For Losers and absolutely love Chasing A Ghost. Seriously, I have tears in my eyes, listening to this song, I don't know why :lol:

God me too. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve had a really tough week but Chasing a ghost really got to me . I absolutely love it 😍

I’d say since FBHT (since it was originally a EP)

What style would you label these songs as? 70s power pop?

Posted

definitely power pop.

i wouldnt assign the sound to any specific era, but its certainly got a classic vibe going for it. its definitely a batch of songs that heavily reflect influences.

It’s hey kid Love is for losers now the next line is stupid kid you’re a loser now

I love how Billie writes "my new project/band The Longshot", like he hasn't decided yet what it is :lol: I love the songs! Chasing A Ghost is my favorite so far. I wish I could buy them, but they are not available in my country.

Posted

Taxi driver is simply instant love, and chasing a ghost is a great and catchy tune :wub:

 

PS: Can we now all agree about Instagram totally ruining any song that touches its surface? 

PPS: If someone still has problems hearing Billie’s voice I recommend an ear doctor :lol:

definitely 70s power pop. id say a mix between the nerves, generation x, the undertones and the replacements. imo very reminiscent of those bands. and billie has mentioned all of them a hundred times ever since the 90s. a little bit of the exploding heats in there too

def hear exploding hearts in there. i personally hear elements of tom petty and cheap trick as well, which again, numerous mentions since forever

Hey guys! 

This is my best morning so far, this new EP is so cool. Chasing a ghost is my ultimate favourite. 

Can't wait for the whole album. :)
