Wilbur Soot's band (Lovejoy) - My Review

the bubbles were real! i won't accept this bubble slander

Joel calling George a heartthrob is not something I expected to hear today lmfao

Wilbur's music just has that late 90's vibe to them and it feels nostalgic listening to them despite never hearing them before.

If you wanna know: Wilbur Soot = Lead singer, guitarist Joe Goldsmith = Guitarist Ash Kabosu = Bass Mark Boardman = Drummer Tommyinnit = Lovejoy's little brother figure Georgenotfound = Georgenotfound

"It's All Futile! It's All Pointless!" was actually a remake/remaster of one of Wilburs older songs

Ash, the one that edited concrete is part of the band, he's the one with brown hair and glasses, he also does monthly vlog with the same editing vibe they're really cool to watch

Fun facts: Will's stated that he always does an acoustic version first then tries to make it sound more 'produced' (if that makes sense). It's the reason his song Soft Boy got scrapped. He couldn't figure out what was missing. He said it sounded good but not right (though I've heard he's thinking of redoing the song). Also, Taunt apparently was shot in one take then cut up to show the band members in their different positions because George only broke and smiled like once and it was small.

I have a feeling this will never get a part 2 but if it does I suggest "The Fall" and "Sex Sells" these 2 are my favorites of each album. They do not have music videos but are great song just the same.

Wilbur: “why’d you have to kill my cat?” Roomie: 😳

The thing that I love about Lovejoy is the instrumentals, I can hear everything, not one instrument drowns out the other nor does the vocals drown anything out and vice versa. I love being able to hear the drums, trumpets, etc.

"I feel like this song would be very hard to memorize as a fan" Trust me, it is. And takes up a lot of space in my head a.k.a can't learn physics

"It's all futile, it's all pointless" is actually a band cover of a song of the same name from Wilbur's solo EP "Maybe I Was Boring" that he released quite a while ago.

I feel like probably about 90% of the comments here have already mentioned it, but I think it's really discrediting to call Lovejoy 'Wilbur Soot's' band. They are four individual musicians with amazing talent, and people should stop focusing on one person instead of the band as a whole. Edit: Pls stop commenting 'but Wilbur says it's his band' or 'Wilbur is the lead singer, which makes him the most important person in the band'. I commented the statement above to just make some people aware that Lovejoy is a band, made up of four equal members, and it's not Wilbur Soot + Ensemble. You can oc still say 'Wilbur's band' as it is the band HE IS ACTIVE IN, but some people just see Wilbur Soot, the artist, and Lovejoy, the band, as one and the same thing and don't acknowledge Ash, Joe or Mark.

Take note! "It's all pointless! It's all futile!" by Lovejoy is just a remake of Wilbur's previous release from his EP "Maybe Be I Was Boring". It's more raw and stripped down. I really like both tho, but lovejoy just made it so chorusy or smthn in a way. I love that he remade it. ❤️

Always love when roomie flexes his music knowledge in his commentaries. Makes it even more fun/interesting to watch. This one was rly cool!

As someone who’s watched Joel for years now and loves Wilbur/Lovejoy a lot, you can imagine the happiness I felt just seeing the title/thumbnail

we defo need a part 2, he needs to hear 'the fall'

So glad he did this, ngl i was hoping he would listen to "sex sells" bc its such a great song but the music videos are cool too lmao

fun fact: it’s futile, it all pointless is a old song on a playlist of wilbur the album is called maybe i was boring

the fact that Joel pays attention to the same things that i love about their music like lyrics and the energy and the trumpets that made me fall in love with the first ep, love it
