Im looking HARD for a record of Thomas playing the track Caught Up from Manipulator on an acoustic guitar. The video is from 2009/10 if Im not mistaken and sometimes Thomas would stop playing Caught Up and just start singing Bungalow Bill in a very upbeat tone (heeey bungalow bill, what did you kill?...) I remember watching it at least in 2011/12 and then the video got taken down, I once found a dead link that used to lead to it but now there is absolutely no trace of it on the entire internet it seems, except from a comment from a guy asking about the same video on the acoustic recording of Empty the Clip, the king has been slain, long live to the queen ( https://youtu.be/TEaMY1LAVeE?si=kaCTILi_ZEj1Yc1p ) featuring Thomas and Frank, I believe the video Im looking for was recorded on the same session. Would anyone, by any miracle, have this amazing piece of lost media still around?

To me it just never sounded right. I loved OK#1, it's rare I'll give #2 a chance but every time i do i just don't like it. I guess it was a neat experiment to have multiple versions but if i was them i wouldn't have bothered putting out #2.

I purchased the Doppelganger tab book from Sheet Happens Publishing, and it's surprising how inaccurate the transcriptions are! There are wrong notes and rhythm everywhere, such as the intro riff of F.C.P.R.E.M.X. and even missing sections, such as in Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles, where there's a whole 8 bars missing in section D. Has anyone else noticed this? You can find the tab book here: https://www.sheethappenspublishing.com/products/the-fall-of-troy-doppelganger-complete-guitar-transcription

It really does feel like an urban legend at this point. Does anyone have the facts, or is it mostly speculation? I only ask because I’m curious. It seems like such a missed opportunity.

Hi all - I have a free ticket to the Chicago show tonight with Hail the Sun. Comment and DM me and it's yours!

I've only seen them 3 times and the last time was almost 10 years ago but he seemed down. Never smiled, seem genuinely depressed when he started playing Hurt. Still had a ton of stage presence tho.

Does anyone know what time Troy has been hitting the stage? Thank you.

(This is mostly my opinion which can be wrong, so feel free to discuss this and I definitely mean no respect to the band members with anything I write, they truly do amazing things as they always have)

He just really doesnt live up to the original songs live due to his screaming/singing not being as good as it was before, I'm really hoping that he relearns screaming because right now and for a long time it just sounds like a fry scream but missing some important steps in creating the sound which just makes it sound thin and empty. I have read somewhere that smoking and drugs has damaged his voice but I don't think that can stop him from doing a safe, good sounding fry scream.

Tim managed to evolve into a great deep scream post-breakup until he left the band and I'm not sure about the new bassist because I havent heard much but from late 2023 live shows it seems like he hasnt got as firm a grip on consistently screaming either (not as bad, but still can have a lot of improvement).

With some new material coming I really hope it goes in this direction so we can get some more heavy stuff (and as chaotic as before because the last 2 albums were just not frantic and fast enough to recreate the old energy they had, let alone them only releasing 4 new songs in the past 8 years since OK.)

Also, documentary? :(

Last update we had was years ago (as far as i know) about everything just being disorganised and the footage being out there existing, is it going to release or can we at least have the unfinished footage published some day?

Anyone at the Greensboro show tonight know what they played towards the end when Thomas said "we NEVER play this"?

I didn't recognize it - wondering if it was off of ITUE (which I'm not super familiar with) or if it was vomiting winter (which I haven't listened to in years and couldn't quite remember) or something else. Also what a crazy fun set. My name is Jonas and Caught Up were cool surprises.

I was listening to The Vomiting Winter and realized this song sounds much more like the ghostship songs than In The Unlikely Event songs. Macaulay Mcculkin was on the original ghostship demo, perhaps it was supposed to be a ghostship song and they changed their mind? I always thought Battleship Graveyard also sounded like it might've been meant for ghostship as well.

Who knows maybe they're saving Vomiting Winter for EP#2?

Hello!

I'm looking for any footage from The Fall of Troy's performance at The Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge last night (September 7th).

I attended the show and had a great time, but unfortunately, I didn't get any video myself.

If anyone has any clips or know where I might find some, I would appreciate it!

Thank you!

Hey again, can anyone in MA tonight or any show going forth grab me a beanie? I didn't grab one from the NYC show and I'm regretting it hardddd. Thanks so much!
