NotNow Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I would hope so, they haven’t played together in seven years and Tom hasn’t been on a stage in five years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'm excited to see what the set list ends up being! I hope they play Start the Machine... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Pretty wild that in 2.5 weeks Tom will be playing live with AVA for the first time in 7 years, and on a stage for the first time in 4 years... time flies. Can't wait to see some videos. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 He actually does look really young there. I probably would have thought it was an old picture if it weren't for you guys talking about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinkFloyd Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I just want to say good for Tom. I know Rebel Girl isn't anything special but I'm glad to see it's gaining some traction. And it's nice to see that general audiences agreed with the "vocal minority" that BIOMY is an absolute shit song. As the lead single from a new Blink album, BIOMY was a disaster - there's no way to spin it. Couldn't even break the top 10 on the Billboard alternative chart and is all the way down to #31 and will probably be off the chart next week.

Yikes - scary that Mark called BIOMY as the quintessential song of the new album (or words to that effect). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily rooting for either but I do love Rebel Girl and hate Blame It so would be a nice wake up call to try a different style 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotNow Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Before people jump in with oh well blame it on my youth peaked much higher, I’m guessing staying power might be valued more over peaking for a couple weeks and crashing. Honestly don’t know, but the songs came out basically within a week so it easy to compare the two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that BIOMY didn't have proper promotion but that's rubbish. Blink still had the machine behind the single. My local alternative station was talking up the premiere big time and I'm sure alternative stations across the country were doing the same. Promotion for Rebel Girl was basically Tom on Instagram and that one radio station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_dept. Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Blink has a bigger label, a bigger name and also it is the first single from the upcoming album - all those factors are enough to have a song which will get close to top-10, and BIOMY did, but since it is a generic song, it didn't have the power to crack into top-10. Darkside would definitely get to top-5 since its way catchier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex_dept. Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 The chart reminded me again that blink is now signed to Columbia - maybe its the reason behind the difference in promo for the new album compared to Cali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like Rebel Girl to be successful, I think it at least deserves to be in top-40 alt songs like Surrender did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
