It’s been a while but I used to like the one where he’s slapping himself in the face with a shoe in the music video. Haven’t listened to it in a long time, gonna go find it and see if it holds up

WWAW bands that were hyped as the next big thing and promptly disappeared into nothingness?

That was fucking amazing. But that dude is absolutely not a bedroom musician

He’s still active I thought. And as far as I know their biggest song isn’t even from Torches, it was Sit Next To Me from 2017

Pretty sure they still put out albums and are doing fine.

Should have made it to be honest, better than the other bullshit at the time:

One of the best albums and the dude opened for Robert Plant on tour, won a grammy, has written lots of great shit and you've never heard of him: see below

The two vines songs that I thought were decent at the time were:
Listening to them now, I think Highly Evolved is still okay, Outtatheway didn’t hold up for me.

I still listen to these guys, but they've pretty much disappeared- I especially dig The Shins- Chutes Too Narrow

Foster the People had multiple hits over multiple albums in a genre that ain’t what it used to be. If you’re picking them your premise is already wrong. The real answer is a band like Capital Cities.
Absolutely gigantic mainstream success for about 9 months and then fell off the face of the earth.
You could make the case for nearly all of the major EDM players from 2012-14ish, at least in the US.

You absolutely cannot put The Shins or Interpol in this category.

Why? The Shins were supposed to be huge. They're not. Look at the streams and views they have. Pretty much nothing. Interpol is basically in the same boat. Maybe they're still popular with people who are in their late 30's/early 40's, but they're not the huge names that they were supposed to be--

This was supposed to be in my above post about the dude touring with Robert Plant, winning grammys for no.1 songs etc

Neither of those bands ever got regular play on KISSFM type pop stations in their day. Unlike bands like The Strokes and Death Cab for Cutie who were receiving regular play at the time.
If you have no mainstream crossover appeal, especially in the early 2000s when rock still had a place on radio, how was your band penciled in as the next big thing?

They both had sustained success over multiple albums and still have big fan bases to this day.

i still think the strokes' first album is all killer no filler
fuckin wretched. This kinda shit is part of something from around 2013 and on that I call "big drum music". Think insincere rudimentary banjo riffs, hand claps, and gang chants
