1.
We were approached by the same girl in the same way at the same time we both shared a bed but not a head full of intention and regret but I bet that we both will by the end of tonight Empty bottles, empty souls, uncharged Thrust my head deep into your chest on the hottest day When the bars are closed, the air returns I writhe on the floor Strange rooms, plastic smears Twelve fucking beers When the bars are closed, the air returns I writhe on the floor At night when the drunks are howling top 40 in the street, the air is thin and I stay up singing the hymns of times we'll never have Where are you?
2.
You talk forever but you say nothing and you do nothing so why don't you just... Wore this down, wore it into the ground It should've been over It's been a long time coming
3.
Danica 04:56
You were my best friend but I couldn't save you and your precious heart The disorder around me is my own Nothing can bring you back I've been holding onto Something that's not there You laid in the warm grass and told me to run And I've been running away ever since I'll never grow up The disorder around me is my own Nothing can bring you back I've been holding onto Something that's not there Hold on now, it's falling around you Wish that I could ever fucking relate it to anything, but I can't We're sad to see you go, but we're almost there We've lived a lifetime, but we're almost there
4.
You deserve more than you give yourself Hanging out won't get you anywhere At all I can't believe we thought this would work out this time We'll just have to make our dreams come true all by ourselves So we'll follow our hearts, and we will find our dreams And if you find your hearts, then you can find your dreams
5.
Will you pick up the pieces when I break? Sweep me up and scatter me Burn me up or bury me Put me in a box and throw me out I'm already half way there and my time is always running out the sand is slipping through my fingers now I see you but you don't know I'm there I may as well be gone You can't break me down because I'm already dead I am a ghost You're the living After all these fucking years you see how far I've come but you still try to break me down every fucking day but I'm not gonna take it anymore The minimum effort the maximum reward The eyes that see the back of my fucking face The health that I lose The case that I am please join us because we are… I am a ghost You're the living

about

"In an ever-growing emo scene, bands have to become more and more adaptable – twinkly guitars and lyrics about basements aren’t going to cut it anymore. It’s becoming a bloated scene, and bands have to find ways to stand out from the crowd. Pittsburgh’s Sup, Muscles? come ready to answer the question. While sticking to emo principles, their debut EP comes alongside less straightforward songwriting, dual vocals, and occasional saxophone."

"I don’t know why, but for me listening to their 5 song EP “More Feelings” feels like coming home. Even if I just stumbled upon the band from the Keystone State a few days ago, their sound seems to be familiar to me. Twinkly Emo parts are combined with Screamo and even hints of Jazz. The conventional instruments perfectly interact with the saxophone and the Glockenspiel while the vocals change from clean to rough, sometimes in two parts. All of this results in a sophisticated overall package."

"None of my favorite twinkle/mathy/skramzy bands have a female vocalist, but I think that just changed. Dual vocals laced with emotion and melodic guitar licks covered in Mike Kinsella influences roped me right in. Everything flows so smoothly throughout this five song release, from the male to female vocal transitions to the introduction of saxophone in two of the tracks. Definitely check these talented musicians out!"

"I was reading up on this band before going into this review. I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news. We may never escape the “twinkle daddies” joke. That phrase has officially become part of the vernacular. It’s true, it’s true. And Sup, Muscles? is definitely that kind of band. They are definitely getting good mileage out of the mathy/twinkly guitars. They took the gimmick and ran with it. They are, luckily, very good at it. It works.

More Feelings is a record that is really in the same lineage as bands like Cap’n Jazz and Algernon Cadwallader. The song structures are very loose. There is almost a disjointed feeling to some of them. Think an emo US Maple. It really shouldn’t work, but Sup, Muscles? makes it work.

My favorite part of this EP has to be the dual vocals of Molly Spear and Jacob Campbell. Their interplay adds a great cohesion to the record. It’s a cohesion that is really needed. Things are all over the place musically, so it’s good to have a structure. This works especially well on songs like “I’m Resilient” and “Something About Ghost.”"

3 years later, it's finally done. What began with Molly finger picking twinkly stuff and Jake telling her to make it mathier is now a 5 song EP. These recordings were a very DIY operation, minus some very welcome mixing and mastering help (read the credits, please!). We learned so much about music and recording and ourselves while doing this. Lots of ups and downs have propelled us to this point, and we're so happy to have never derailed. John Paul and Trevor are so fucking amazing, and they've helped us solidify something that means so much to all of us. I guess I'm rambling here, but what I really mean to say is thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy it.
