Riot Fest is known for getting reunion shows, what if they have Box Car Racer do a reunion show and release this song with the announcement! ?

“We did it over the past couple years” sounds like it’s completely new. Maybe it was planned for it to be with the vinyl release and shit just didn’t pan out. 

In any case, hyped for an unreleased studio recording with Travis.

Yeah, I just listened to the interview and he said the song was made a couple of years ago with Travis. That's hype for sure.

Kind of surprised euphoria hasn’t leaked yet. Excited!!!

[radioactive tomdog]

very annoying to release a long interview about a new song and then not premiere it afterwards or even give a release date

It's called illuminati bud, blink was a government project, I've never seen someone look more like a CIA agent than Mark.

Tom's was pretty dramatic though, there's been a couple. Elton John, Corey Taylor, Lil Wayne (lol), James Hetfield, Eminem, Taking Back Sunday (better though imo)

Tom's might be the biggest now that I think about it.. Others just get slightly lower or stopped making music altogether.

Yeah but Corey hurt his voice with screaming, Elton John got a different voice after surgery on the vocal chords, Eminem sound like himself to me, just older. I agree about Adam Lazzara

This Euphoria riff is getting hyped now, it better be good.  In Tom we trust with this.

Drop D makes me nervous as it draws dangerously close to Deftones and nu-metal territory... but I can't wait to hear it.

[thongrider]

Drop D needs to be dropped.

It really, really doesn't, don't panic. 

Drop D is so common place in pop punk. 

[Knapppers]

Listened to the interview and am very excited for some new music

Lots of bad, lots of good. Drop D is like the ultimate baby step in tuning changes, everyones done it at least once. I'm pretty sure blink has - isn't Kaleidoscope drop D? and Asthenia? 

Even "Time To Break Up" is half step down and drop C#, and most of Untitled was recorded in C# 

Tom messing with tunings isn't new. 

[NotNow]

Blink has numerous songs in drop d?

[Russel Coight]

Writing a song in Drop D isn’t anywhere near as interesting as writing a song in a 6/8 time signature.

Sorry Tom! Try again!

[twentytwenty]

Drop d is so common everywhere. Foo fighters uses it a lot too. And as you said, Tom has been using different tuning with both blink and Ava in the past. It’s nothing to hype or even think about

I would keep my 2021 tickets to this show since I was thinking of pushing them back for the 2022 show since MCR postponed again... BCR would be so sick.

With all the women out there he chooses that one who also was his supposed friends wife. It’s weak, and I guess I don’t have a problem with people continuing to rib at Tom for it 

Yeah, I see what you mean. Like, maybe they’re a great match, but it is kind of weird. Kind of a tangent, but I honestly wish Tom could tell his side of the story about the divorce. Because I’m sure it’s much more complicated than the conclusions people are drawing based on very limited info. But he can’t bc he’d be airing out his family’s private business so he’s in an awkward place.

[Cheerios4u98]

Feeling This is in Drop D. I mean it can easily be played in standard, but the way Tom plays it with the capo on 2 is done in Drop D.

[saco0o]

Do you think Mark would accept a Tom's invite to join BoxcarRacer for a second album / little tour in '22? Idk why I woke up today thinking bout this.
