Ash loves his goblincore. We are the ants
goblincore and electroswing always up there for ash
this was my favorite part of the interview: throwing ash under the bus
turn it into a chant: 🎶we are the ants, we are the ants🎶
Love your stuff clem
i like your content too (:
we are the ants
JUSTICE FOR JOE!!! Hes trying his best at dropping ambiguous hints
what
so proud of them they’ve come so far
Me tooo
All my friends I’ve met at LOVEJOY gigs and it’s so fun to have an instant bond with everyone and u all just click so this band is truly the reason I am friends with my closest mates and it’s insane to think without them that I wouldn’t know them
I’ll fight u
@@angishangi2876 ok?

that’s so cool! may I ask how much tickets were? I’d love to see them one day
a single snare drum hit at 140 bpm is my favourite too! glad it’s getting the recognition it deserves thanks ash for mentioning it
have been a fan of Wilbur since 2020 and been with Lovejoy since Wilbur first talked about having a band and showing stuff on a twitch stream. its amazing to see how much they've grown and how many people now don't even know Wilbur played/plays Minecraft lol. Lovejoy is my favorite band ever
it's literally the contrary. Everyone knows he plays minecraft, if he wasn't a famous streamer already Lovejoy would not have listeners. (I'm not saying anything about the quality of the songs, some are quite good, I'm just saying that their platform is clearly built on the already success of their star member)
@@alexfons3667 i know the most pf the fanbase is from wilbur but i‘ve already seen quite a lot of people saying they didnt know.
@@alexfons3667 I agree.. The initial fanbase is definitely wilburs fans.. but the growth is absolutely exponential in comparison to any other💃
Same!!!
I was talking about Lovejoy at school and someone else new who they were, I’d never met someone else irl who listened to them and it was amazing being able to talk about how far they’ve come
The idea of wilbur doing a story album....... man, I will be going crazy
samr
uh oh
I feel like a proud mother🥲🥲
Honestly , my favorite part of Lovejoy is the literary devices that are used in their songs . When Are You Alright came out , I did deep dives into every lyric , every word , and would hyperfixate on songs for hours ! But by the end of it , I find that none of it really ever mattered , as they always gave me the feeling of joy and excitement just from how amazingly written their songs are . Listening back to it over and over gain , I began to listen more to bass lines , and was inspired to learn bass myself ! I've loved Lovejoy since they began , and I am so proud to see how much they've come from where they've began . Congrats on how far they've come , and I can't wait to see what's coming next
THATS OUR BAND THATS OUR BOYS THATS OUR SILLY LITTLE BOY BAND
i’m so proud of them 🙏🏻
Our little British band isn't so little🥺
I'm so proud
I’m so proud of them they have come so far
8:03 wouldn't mind a 12 minute Lovejoy track tbh
there was definitely at least 10 people at Lollapalooza Chicago
Maybe a few more, not sure though
ive been on the lovejoy scene since a little after knee deep came out and WOW- have they grown from a little indie rock band to a band thats been playing shows around the world to 10 thousands of people
its almost surreal- but nonetheless im so, so proud of them. Good job lovejoy 👏
Edit: I loved hearing about the writing, how they percieve their music, and also their inspos- that's why they're my favorite band, they connect with their fans and stuff. theyre my biggest inspiration for my passion for music and im so glad I get to see them grow
Love laugh lovejoy brother
I remember Will talking about his secret band a year before are you alright 😭
IVE SEEN YOU IN YT SHORTS!!!
@@Lil_Meww YUHHHH PREACH
say it louder for the people in the back
@@Aurora_Animates REALLY
man imagine being there for that I wish I was 😭
Ive been here since the beginning and to see them grow is the best experience ever. Our silly little band isn't so little anymore
Our silly growing band
same
I've said it before and I'll say it again, they were never "little". I love this band but holy shit they already had like 10/20k followers from Wilbur before they even released anything 😭😭
@pinnkkplaysdrums to be fair you do have a point. I completely forgot about that factor.
@@pinnkkplaysdrums i think usually the little thing means in the mainstream because sure its popular but ask someone whos 60 or someone who doesnt play minecraft or dont. Know nothing about its community and i doubt theyll know it
Their music are what literally got me out of my shell like i've been going on stage in school to sing their songs any chance i get they are my everything fr
been here since "are you alright?" and ive never been so happy that they've been getting so much love!! ill be patiently waiting to go for a lovejoy gig since i dont stay in europe (singapore lol....) BUT will support them from across the globe! (also ive blasted normal people things repeatedly and ive leant the bass for that song and its so fun i love playing the bass in all of lovejoy's song ARARHARGAHSH)
the bass in lovejoy songs just hits different fr
I love that Ash and the rest of them just continue with the lore that Ash doesn't speak, it's wonderful
Going from ‘maybe I was boring’ to ‘your city gave me asthma’ and now to ‘normal people things’ is wild and so damn cool
I ACTUALLY CANT WITH JOE AND ASH JUST GIGGLING WHEN WILL USES HIS BIG WORDS
I remember when I first heard of Lovejoy and listened to Taunt and thought it was okay, then listened to the ep, and I fell in love with this band and their music, and now 2 years later they have a discography full of bangers and this new one is once again a hit. I fucking adore these guys
ash is so inspirational, goblincore is so underrated
i can imagine ash and mark being baked as hell behind those sunnys lmao XD
💀 😭
It feels like they're growing so so fast, and I'm here from the start
whenever the album is ready, im PRAYING that it'll be a concept album. wilbur is so incredible at weaving together stories especially within his songs and i feel like lovejoy has so much potential to create something that's not only a cohesive story contained within an album, but also songs that display a wider range of interest for listening. i already think all their music is great already but i guess the only qualm i have is that a lot of their songs sound very similar - not that always has to be a bad thing, of course. they have an effective style that's catchy and pleasant to listen to but i know that they have the ability to branch out more and take us listeners on a real roller-coaster of emotional storytelling with a concept album.
So proud of them.
I think this is the funniest lovejoy interview yet! I love the questions so so much
I feel like a proud parent seeing how far they have come in just the past year
edit: I just noticed Wil's socks, I absolutely love them
same
I am so proud how far they have come🥺
I’ve been a fan of Wilbur since January 2021 and a fan of Lovejoy since Wilbur announced he was creating a band, was on the live stream for all the eps and it was just incredible!! I saw their London show on the 27th and I cried so much as I saw them in person, it was absolutely amazing and their songs make me so so happy. LIVE LAUGH LOVEJOY❤
great interview, the boys seem very comfortable and had a lot of cool things to say, props to the interviewer
Lovejoy has made it so far, I am very proud of them and can't wait what the future holds for this amazing people!
THATS MY BAND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
That’s our silly band :) ❤
SILLYYYYYY
our silly, not so little anymore, band
THEY'RE NOT EVEN LITTLE ANYMOREE 😭
fancy seeing you here tododokii
our silly big band :))
so silly
as someone who’s been here since your city gave me asthma in 2019, words cannot express how proud i am of them. so glad i could come along with their journey and watch them grow, i feel like a proud parent lmao
The name lovejoy has two words that are true
Love = love with the band and the music they make
Joy = having ALOT of joy of them just expressing themselves to the world and me and u😊
Ive been with Wilbur since “internet ruined me”, when he had so little fans comparing to now, I feel so proud but also bitter sweet that it’s not our little silly band anymore
a proud og and I can’t express how happy I am to see them find so much success! love you forever!
OUR BAND !!!

so proud of them 🥹
so proud to be a fan of them since they started making music wilbur aswell and a fan of wilbur in 2018 watching soothouse and i absolutely loved his music before lovejoy had started making music so id call myself an Original listener to them , really proud of how big they've become and wish they'd visit united arab emirates in dubai and do some shows because i would literally die to go to one of their shows but unfortunately i cannot travel to europe or america , i hope they tour dubai aswell so i'd have a chance to meet them somehow in dubai 🥲💗💗
Amazing band

my favourite member changes on the daily. i pick them all. they're all the favourite
I’m so proud of them!🥹
WOOHOO!!!!! SO SO PROUD OF THEM :,D
Personally, I am incredibly inspired by Lovejoy! A lot of the stuff I’ve written is loosely based on their style. Obviously, I don’t only listen to them, so I don’t sound too close, but I still draw a lot from them. I love their music.
Love these guys! So glad to see how far they've come
GUYS IT'S OUR BAND!!
:O I know those guys
Love this interview
seeing wilburs passion for music literally transform into this whirlwind of a journey is so amazing! i love their music, i continue to love their music with every release! its just so fulfilling from the most non parasocial proud fan moment way.
Our band ❤️
the laughing at the end 😭❤️
So proud of them they have come so far :)
I’m so proud to have known and been a love joy fan since it was just Wilbur. You’ve all come so far and I’m so proud of you guys!
Pioneertown mention AHHHH
I love Will’s socks lol
I've been here since that one Wilbur insta story of Lovejoy's first time (? maybe) in a studio together it's soo something seeing them grow into such an amazing band, like... I just can not describe how happy I am for them
oh im so excited to see this im so proud
Im so normal about this band!!!!!!!!!
I AM SO PROUD
so proud of them
MARK LOOKS SO SWAGGYYY
Im so proud of them❤
so proud of how far they've come. more opportunities to them this year!
Well, that didn't age well! 💔
I love them
Proud to say I was here from the start!
Been here since early 2020 watching wilbur, and I'm so happy to see how far they've come!! Love you guys ❤❤
i think is so cool that you can be a person who cares mostly about the rhythm and instrumentals or things like that, o you can me more of a lyrics reader person and you can enjoy their music anyway, but the thing that i most enjoy from them it's that their music make you feel something truly amazing.
My biggest wish at the moment is them to come to argentina!! i wish some day i could become crazy singing their songs live 😢😢
