Loved their debut EP. Choke was #1 in my 2019 YE Charts.

The adds date was moved from August 11 to August 18 for some reason.

The song is releasing August 5th per some popup banner (I dunno the technical term) on AllAccess. Song length appears to be 3:35 according to the single cover.

This was pretty good! Not as aggressive as "Choke" but that swagger of theirs is still there. Solid indie rock, very Cold War Kids-esque.

This one has attitude and groove. The guitars I mean. A lot like what Saint Motel would release or even more like The 1975 "Love Me". The guitars remind me of another 80's hit. I'll return as soon as I remember the name, but for now? Yup. Download/Check on first listen. I seriously hear a massive Top 5 song for my personal chart here.

And yup, this is very good. I’m a sucker for any indie pop that sounds even remotely 80s. Was “Choke” their 1st alt single? I know they had one or two singles before that but I have no idea if they were sent. I mean, a followup to that would chart at the very least, right? I think this will be a decent sized hit for them, or at the very least chart.

I wasn't really a fan of "Choke." I mean it was fine, but got old to me only after hearing it a few times. This is more upbeat and on the Indie Pop side. Probably a bit better than I expected.

Oh this kicks my ass. I'm still impressed by how well Choke performed on the charts, hope this can do as well. This band is so good

I wasn't really big on "Choke", but this is pretty good. I actually get Joywave vibes out of this one.

This got 17 alt adds this week (tied with Bastille for most added), and it’s not even impacting yet. It’s supposed to impact next week. I think they might have a second hit on their hands!

Do It All the Time should've been a smash hit. It's catchier than Choke.

I dig this song and I do like it better than "Choke." Good stuff.

I was a huge fan of "Choke" and I dig this too. Guess they're trying to be like The 1975 with how they want to emulate a different brand of 80's New Romantics with each tune, which isn't a bad thing at all. Hoping they can avoid the Sophomore Slump with this (is it still called the Sophomore Slump if it's technically their first full-length album?)

\The guitars remind me of another 80's hit. I'll return as soon as I remember the name Did you think of it yet? I like (and DLed) Social Climb (as well as this song). For those of you who have MB access, did they get any spins with any of the non-Choke songs?

I think Choke was their first radio single because I can’t find any other songs by them in the CNM database besides “Choke” and “Leave Me Alone”. Also I’m pretty sure their artist page on AllAccess describes “Choke” as their debut radio single.

\The guitars remind me of another 80's hit. I'll return as soon as I remember the name Did you think of it yet?\ I just listened to LMA again, and it makes me reminiscent of MGMT's "Kids" as well as the background beat and riff at 2:10 in the One Way song "You Better Quit". But One Way probably isn't one of IDKHBTFM's big influences!

For those of you who have MB access, did they get any spins with any of the non-Choke songs? Quite a few from Duran Duran few actually. One of the things I also loved about The 1975's "Love Me" is how much it follows the guitar rhythms of Duran Duran's "Notorious". Andy Taylor had that rhythm, but could have been brought on by Nile Rodgers as heard in "Pressure Off" . Both were present on the 'Notorious" recordings. I really love the way those two play guitars. This song also has a similar chorus peak like "Notorious". Who ever did the guitars on this I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME song (Dallon Weekes) ? Plays it right up my 80's alley. Also both "Love Me and "Notorious" went to #1 on my chart ,and I think this one will be heading that way as well. I just thought of another great comparison for the guitar beats. INXS "Need You Tonight". Not exactly played in the same key, but very close to the melody in the song's verses. You can hear it really strong towards the end of the song too.
