If we're talking Australian indie folk crossovers I'll gladly take Vance Joy over this

This song is amazing and I've been spinning it a lot since discovering it about a month ago... Way better than Riptide, imo... but they don't even sound similar honestly.

Definitely the most annoying chorus of the year ^nah, that's "High" by Young Rising Sons. This song isn't that great though. I didn't mind Riptide though it's burned off of me now since it won't die on the radio. I just don't really see the appeal here, standard indie folk. ewww wait I just realized this hit Top 50 Alt and that's why everyone's talking about it. I though it was still just the European smash that hadn't made it here yet.

Another song KROQ is really throwing out there for the Alt Rock crowd to embrace. It's currently on their top 10 playlist. me? I could take it or leave it. I'd rather thay start playing the new Modest Mouse.

this is just like riptide. no Both are awful, but this one is a little less awful for me. The chorus is definitely the worst part, but the whole song is bad.

This sounds like it would be huge in Europe? For me, The more I listen to this, the more ;I realize, it's not for me. It's funny how peeps call BANKS and BROODS, Echosmith, pop sounding, when this is more pop sounding than all those songs put together. Seems KROQ really likes this Folky sound just checkout their playlist. Not only that, to top it off; they also started playing another crappy AVICCI song. kroq.cbslocal.com/2015/01/14/aviciis-the-nights-joins-the-kroq-playlist/

Not surprised that a lot of people on here hate this (though I don't understand the "Riptide" comparisons), but I really like it. It might not exactly be the most lyrically profound song out there, but there's something really effective about the way the different melodies come together. It's genuinely infectious in a way that a lot of indie-pop lately isn't, while still being unique enough to fit on Alternative.

Overrated, but the reality is that it's backed by Scooter Braun and seems to be a big priority for Republic. Combined with the fact that it *IS* appealing to people (as evidenced by solid sales), it's probably going to happen when all is said and done.
I just don't see it 'happening' to any meaningful extent on alternative. It's "On the Verge" at Hot AC and in the early stages of making inroads at pop, so it's basically in the same situation as Echosmith's "Cool Kids." That never amounted to much at alternative either.

I think that Just the fact that "Cool Kids" entered the Alt top 40 and held on for over 14 weeks just because the band released the song to Alternative before any other format; is a pretty good acheivement. besides that performance led them to top 10 on Hot AC and POP.

This has always been so bleh to me. This came on in the car a while back and my friends just went "talk about trying too hard" when the chorus popped up. Not a fan.
