I want this to be good.

Band sucks

Does this mean Frank is going back to making Of Stalwart Fads tunes?

This better be good, I loved Fall of Troy. I wouldve liked Thomas on lead guitar and vocals alone, hopefully hes just as good with someone else.

hopefully Thomas just shreds and steps away from the mike...he has been trying way too hard to extend his range

It could be good if he doesn't try to control everything.

i heard something about this before. but after hearing his last two releases with the fall of troy, i dont think this will be anything spectacular.

"hopefully Thomas just shreds and steps away from the mike...he has been trying way too hard to extend his range"

idk, seems like he's trying harder. from his twitter:

"Really been working hard on my voice since starting this band... Stoked to lay down some sweet melodies in the studio this month for the EP!"

Lol holy shit thats like the worst thing he can say. But this will be more exciting than new TFOT if you ask me.

worried about this.

if its anything like in the unlikely event
i dont want

@hipster

...OSF is dead i think, BUT he (along with the drummer, and maybe the bassist) are in a new band

I REALLY hope Thom doesn't clean sing for this new shit.

Ever.

I dont know, if hes actually learned to sing better it could be good. I liked his voice a lot on Phantoms on the Horizons.

Jesus Christ Thomas WTF man...shut your whore mouth and use your cawk stroking hands to play guitar

interested.

It might be good if he stays away from singing and doesn't try to do TFOT 2

lol word

As long as Mr.Erak doesn't go down the poppy tunes road, this could be promising. Definitely put me down as excited though!!

don't have high hopes for this but hopefully he proves me wrong

yes

Eraks got talent.. hope this is as epic as i once thought tfot were

no one's commented on how terrible the band name is yet?

i hope this is good but i'm worried after that post of how he's working on his voice

@hipster...OSF is dead i think, BUT he (along with the drummer, and maybe the bassist) are in a new band

don't know what's wrong with his voice. i just recently bought all the FOT albums. even 'in the unlikely event' is pretty good imo

Just like Vinyl or Just like The Fall of Troy?

If the latter, expect Erak to ruin another band via vocals.

anyone with less than 100 comments looks stupid.

@henry: You mean besides being totally monotone in his vocal delivery and having pretty much no range whatsoever, right?

Mmmmmmmm color me excited. Thomas Erak has been one of my favorite people in music for a while now, so I'm glad he's going to be in another project.

why is that?

I'm just a fan of his music. Yeah, the last few TFOT albums (excluding Phantom on the Horizon) weren't quite up to snuff, but I still enjoyed them, and I think he still has the potential to make some good music.

anyone with less than 100 comments looks stupid.

I guess I'd just rather do something else instead of argue over petty shit or post in every news article unlike others that frequent this site...

yeah dude how many comments do you think are actually about music on this site?

Pussy AND stuff for arguing on the net? Where do I sign?!

ya what idiots

I'm lol which sucks cause it's 3:40... thanks

this could be ORSUM

or it could be LAWLSUM

right?

if you heard the last two FOT albums you already know the answer

to be honest, if he goes straight down the pop path and doesn't keep writing awkward amalgamations of catchy whatever and post-hardcore then it has the potential to be sweet. same holds true for whatever style he attempts; if he doesn't try to mix it with other genres it could be great.

amen to that. ill listen to it with an open mind and be optimistic somewhat about it, but i never found him too great on his own.

Doppelganger owned, lets hope this is of a similar standard.

LOL I love how he announced this new band on TFOT's facebook. I laughed pretty hard.

considering Red Museum was a Fall of Troy ripoff this will probably sound like Fall of Troy. probably not a good thing

This will fucking blow donkeys for quarters.

Guys don't even hope for another ITUE, much less another Doppelganger. Thomas is clearly not interested in post-hardcore
anymore, this will sound like Clutch (ugh) with shittier vocals (ugh) and tons of unnecessary pull-offs (ugh).

I have a bad feeling about this.

No thanks.

I'll just say I really dislike Clutch and not say they are shitty or anything because idk. But seriously are you imagining Thomas Erak attempting to play in that style, because I am and it's making me want to cry a little. I'm fairly sure that's where he's going these days anyway, especially since he's calling this project "explosive guitar wild rock!"

What a faggot that dude has become.

^ I was thinking the same thing as far as that last comment sniper. He just seems like a conceited douche who is caught up in his terrible random hammer-ons and pull-offs and his horrendous "trying too hard" singing.

lol I know. I hope I'm wrong about this but I think I'm right.

Hopefully he doesn't lyricize the songs because ughhhhh

Argh you guys are killing my expectations lol

band will be fucking great....at first

Considering everything you people have said, I'm getting more and more cautious about this. Thanks, guys.

cannot wait.

ill listen to it with an open mind and be optimistic somewhat about it

people have to mature with age; youth has its peak in everything but variety is what people will praise, this band will have tricks up its sleeve.

eeewww

lol

There are rumors floating around that Thomas Pridgen is doing something with Thomas Erak...don't know if it's this or something else.

Pridgen better be the drummer.

There were also rumors of an Erak/Owens douche-off but I think it's all just bullshit.

according to the twietter here is the lineup

Just Like Vinyl is :
Jake Cardan - Guitar/Vocals
Henry Batts - Bass/Backup Vocals
Jay Beaman - Drums/Percussion
Thomas Erak - Guitar/Vocals!

maybe him on backing vocals and guitar wont hurt this project too much. hopes went slightly up.

I lol at douche-off

i've liked thomas' work from tribune to tfot, i think i'll like this


the monday mornings is pretty coo, too

surprisingly i've heard that this is actually pretty decent

Can't wait.

Woah woah. Thomas Erak is a fucking god.
I'm glad people like to talk shit on him even when they've been listening to his records since they started TFOT! :]

PS: Douche-off

You guys are some fucking selfish ass people. What kinda fans are you? holy shit!

hahahahaha

You guys are some fucking selfish ass people.
