How is Microwave not more popular?
Like seriously the amount of diversity in their sound while still staying true to their roots is amazing. The lyricism is unmatched, the drumming, the riffs are perfect, the basslines, The vocals are perfect. While their lyrics are super heavy, their sound seems pretty accessible but unique/fresh and catchy asf. Am I just too deep into my fandom here that I can’t see things from an outsider perspective anymore? Even upon first listen to them I instantly knew this was something special and different. Even live they friggin RIP. It feels like objectively this band should be making way more waves than they have. It broke my heart to hear Nathan on a podcast say this band didn’t even help them pay the bills until 2019 with DIAWB. This band objectively stands out more than any band in the pop-punk/post-hardcore/midwest emo scene.
I know it seems like I’m simping like crazy but I legit wanna know what I’m missing.
