Yet another killer song by Asheville NC pop punk band Drowning Leo! As usual, the band tracked live at the studio, and then we overdubbed guitars and vocals. Sonically, it’s bouncy and upbeat. Lyrically? Well, let's just say I was adamant about joining in on the gang vocals for this one.

Asheville NC! This Sunday we're performing an A Perfect Circle cover set at Sly Grog Lounge. Come watch as I attempt to sing like Maynard James Keenan while also playing guitar ☠️
We're not exactly what you'd call a cover band, but we are excited to play a bunch of A Perfect Circle songs alongside a stacked lineup for a good cause. March 29th at Sly Grog Lounge in Asheville — mark your calendars!
Our drummer made us do an escape room for his birthday and honestly aside from the AI minecraft backdrop it was a pretty good time
Probably gonna catch some hate for the guitar thing but y'all know it's true
I was talking to a guy after we played last night, it was his first ever show. Asked what he thought and he said “it’s interesting, I don’t like headbanger music but you guys are alright, I like that I could hear the words” IMO that’s a ringing endorsement for @thewelcoming.bsky.social 😂
Our last show of the year (probably) is tonight!

James Ferrell (Mountainsize Audio + The Welcoming)@mountainsize.bsky.social · last yr.And I am obligated to include everything by @thewelcoming.bsky.social: Each song is a different combination of post-hardcore, prog rock, metalcore and space rock, and they all slap. Heavy enough for open minded metal heads, approachable enough for rock fans. thewelcoming.bandcamp.com
