i'd be incredibly surprised if any of y'all knew this guy so let me introduce you to him this is Spike. he's the lead guitarist of Di-rect, which is a Dutch rock/pop adjacent band. i say rock/pop adjacent cause that's what they're doing right now, but i don't think anyone told them that bands generally tend to stick to a genre because they've done almost everything in their 25 years of existence.
i just love how chaotic they are. spike dresses like a gay cowboy, their rythm guitarist vaguely resembles gandalf, and their singer looks like he shops at the lost and found bin of a care home for elderly women. and then their target audience is white women in their 40's. google them, it'll be worth it, i swear if you're seeing this, i highly recommend listening to 'No Goodbye' by them. great song. my handle on here comes from their song 'move on' which is also absolutely amazing and i can't recommend it enough
thanks for coming to my tedtalk
