‘Rubber’ is so good

i need to see him live. i regret missing the opportunity to drive to DC and see him last october.

 

"She's in a ballroom dancing
And I'm singing through a hole in the wall,
I want to build you a mansion, just trying to pay some dues is all"

he's such a good lyricist

 

I saw him open for Brian Fallon before Dying Star was out and he was great. Obviously most people were there to see Brian but I'm sure he made some new fans on that tour. I talked to him for a few minutes afterwards, nice dude.

 

Very excited for this.

The Dirt Emo thing didn't really tide me over.

 

me, still, any time 'big brown bus' comes on

 

That second verse

 

looking at the pre-order, we'll be getting songs 6/26, 7/17 and 8/24 too

 

"I might die on this highway, part of me wishes I would". Fucking kills me every time.

That's cool and all but I don't think I want to hear 5 songs before the album releases.

 

agreed. I'm usually good with 1 or 2 but 4 or 5 seems to be the way everyone does it now

 

also just bc they're released doesn't mean you have to listen haha

 

Nah I do though.

 

His Instagram story says that Hellfire and Morphine will be on a live record. I haven’t heard either but have seen a lot of folks asking about Hellfire. Anyway.. a live album sounds awesome

 

If anyone wants to sell a Dying Star test pressing, please hit me up.
When they went on sale, I just missed out.

 

Man, Ruston deserves to be much bigger than he is and I'm sure that's going to be inevitable in his career. At the same time I'm really enjoying that he's a smaller artist right now haha

 

In case anyone hasn't seen the video for Rubber yet:

 

Hellfire on a live album would be rad, but they way they played it at the Ryman just really make me want to hear a studio version.

 

When was this a thing? Because they aren't always interactive with each other on social media? That said if they breakup I'll be devastated.

 

yeah I'm pretty sure a gossip article was posted about it in the other thread. just bc they deleted pics of each other or something

 

Two lead singles are good

 

I’ve listened to the Emo release a ton but this might be the first time I listened to Dying Star. It’s great!

 

hell yeah

 

He's so good at the introspective acoustic balladry side of things, but I love how he can just throw out a huge earworm if he wants to. "Mockingbird" was that on the first album, and "Radio Cloud" is definitely that on this album.

 

Uhhhhhh excuse me, did you just casually brag that you've heard the whole thing?

 

an all time flex
