Watch Waterparks Perform “Lucky People” On Our Rooftop And Discuss ‘Entertainment’

Unless you’re new to the site, you should probably already know that The Noise are big supporters of Waterparks. We mean, have you seen all the interviews we’ve done with them lately?

Anyway, looking to hang with our new pals Awsten, Geoff and Otto again, we invited the pop-punk three-piece over to our offices to perform on our Hollywood rooftop and discuss their infectious new album Entertainment.

To see what the guys (mainly Awsten) had to say and watch their performance of “Lucky People,” be sure to check out the video above. Afterwards, if you’ve yet to pick up Entertainment, make sure to do so here.

Relive Waterparks’ Intimate Rooftop Performance of “Lucky People”

Waterparks fans! Continuing where we left off with iDKHOW, Knocked Loose and Chon, welcome to another installment of our “From The Vault” series.

Let us explain: Looking back at some of the incredible shoots we’ve been a part of over the years – like our 2018 rooftop session with Waterparks – we realized we still had some pretty awesome content to share with everyone.

And now, with things being as strange as they are with no real end in sight, we figured what better time than today to shine a light on some of these hidden gems.

So, in attempt to give you all something to distract from the fucked up world we’re currently living in, we are stoked to share a standalone look at Waterparks’ “Lucky People.”

Watch Stray From The Path’s New Live Rooftop Performance of “Kickback” and “Second Death”

After filming a good amount of rooftop performances over the past couple years, one thing The Noise has always wanted to do was have a hardcore band up on our roof to absolutely annihilate things. Thankfully, that dream has now become a reality thanks to Long Island noisemakers Stray From The Path.

Stopping by The Noise office while on tour with Counterparts, Varials, Chamber and more, Stray From The Path treated us (and everyone outside walking by) to performances of their new Internal Atomics tracks “Kickback” and “Second Death.” 

Detailing what their outspoken, hard-hitting song “Second Death” is all about, vocalist Drew York told The Noise, “We wrote it about the Catholic Church. Basically, it's about people that have molested younger kids and have gotten away with it. There's no repercussion for it, they're just sent off to a different parish and it just gets overlooked. It's treated as a ‘vanilla’ sex case, which, in our opinion, is insane. We think that this topic needs to be addressed and we decided to write about it to stand up for the victims and anyone who can relate to it.” 

Guitarist Tom Williams added, “The ‘vanilla sex case’ thing [Drew] talked about, there was an actual case of a priest -- I don't even know if he's a priest, he might have been a cardinal or whatever fucking rankings they do. But he got caught and then some lawyer, he was like, ‘Oh, I looked into it. It was just a simple case of ‘vanilla sex.’’ 

Williams went on to say, “[The Catholic Church] has been covering up shit forever and they get away with it because they're the most powerful organization in the world so they can do whatever the fuck they want. It's like, ‘Oh, this guy did something shitty here? Ship them off there.’ So yeah, [‘Second Death’] is just about the shit that's been going on there for as long as I've been alive and longer.”

To check out Stray From The Path’s heated performance of “Second Death” plus “Kickback” featuring Counterparts’ Brendan Murphy, be sure to look below. Afterward, make sure to pick up a copy of Internal Atomics and grab tickets to see Stray From The Path out on tour here.

Watch Counterparts’ New Live Performance of “Love Me” & “Wings of Nightmares” From Their Latest LP ‘Nothing Left To Love’

If you’re reading this, you’re probably well aware by now that Counterparts’ new album Nothing Left To Love is easily one of the best records of 2019. 

With punishing breakdowns, technical musicianship and brooding lyricism, Counterparts have somehow found a way to top 2017′s critically acclaimed LP You’re Not You Anymore.

Looking to show off some of the hard-hitting tracks from their new sixth studio album, Counterparts stopped by our Noise office to perform both Nothing Left To Love’s emotional opening track “Love Me” as well as their passionate lead single “Wings Of Nightmares.”

Talking with The Noise all about the fiery track “Wings Of Nightmares,” frontman Brendan Murphy said, “I guess a specific person inspired it but for the most part, it's talking about people in your life that you keep around and you don't really know why. Like, you have these people whether it's a friend or someone in a business relationship or it's romantic or whatever. We all have these people that are sort of in our lives and we just don't really know why.”

“It's definitely a topic we've talked about before and I think it's one that's very relatable for everybody,” Murphy added. “It's just about working up the courage to be able to tell somebody, ‘Yo, fuck off.’ Like, ‘I don't fucking want you around.’ Or on the flip side, dealing with being told ‘I can't be around you. I don't want anything to do with you.’ Like that type of shit.”  

“It's about specific things and people that have come into my life and left whether it was my decision to stop the relationship or theirs,” Murphy stated.  “It's about realizing how better off your life can be when you just let the shit go.”
