We’re Still Fighting the Algorithm… But We Need Your Help

Hey everyone. We’ve been pushing hard lately: new songs, new videos, new ideas. But honestly? It feels like we’re shouting into the void. Views are down, subs are slipping, and the algorithm doesn’t seem to notice we’re still here.

We’re not giving up — but we are tired.

If you’ve ever enjoyed one of our songs or videos, we’re asking for one small favor: please comment, like, and share. It only takes a few seconds, but it makes a massive difference. Every click, every word, every little bit of interaction tells YouTube we’re worth showing to someone new.

We’ll keep creating no matter what — but with your help, we can keep growing too.
Thanks for sticking with us. ❤️

🎥 Our Very First Music Video 🎺

We’ve always focused on the music — that’s where our hearts live.
But this song, “The Same Old Sky,” felt different.

It’s deeply personal… and we felt it deserved more than just a still image and a melody.

So — for the very first time — we made a music video.

We’ll be honest: we’re not filmmakers. This was all new territory for us, and we learned a lot along the way. But we poured everything we had into it — every note, every frame — to tell this story the best way we could.

It’s about love, change, and the kind of goodbye every parent eventually faces.
We hope it moves you the way it moved us while making it.

Thank you for watching — and for going easy on us for our first attempt at this whole “video” thing. We’d love to hear what you think.

We didn’t want to write this song.

But after digging into the history, after seeing the human cost, we couldn’t ignore it.

It really hit when we watched AJ Gentile from ‪@TheWhyFiles‬ talking about DARPA on ‪@ShawnRyanShow‬. That conversation pulled the curtain back and made us realize just how much of our world has been shaped in hidden labs, without anyone asking us if we were ready for the consequences. That moment is what pushed us to write The Dark Side of the Dawn.

DARPA gave us the internet, GPS, medical advances—things that shape our daily lives. But in the shadows, it’s also given us Agent Orange, autonomous drones, surveillance tech, and weapons that push past ethical lines.

The lyrics in The Dark Side of the Dawn aren’t fiction. They come straight from history. From Project Agile in Vietnam to EXACTO bullets and neural implants today, the story is real: progress always comes with a price.

This song isn’t an attack—it’s a warning. A reminder that unchecked power and hidden programs can harm just as much as they help. DARPA is a necessary evil, one that pushes boundaries no one else will. But when the future is being built in secret, the rest of us deserve to ask: at what cost?

Why Our Thumbnails Are “Low Effort” (And Why Our Music Isn’t)

We hear you. Some of you really don’t like AI-generated thumbnails on our videos. And that’s… fine. But here’s the thing: we’re musicians.

Our team spends days—sometimes weeks writing, recording, mixing, and editing each song. We. Create. Music. And then we share it with you… for free.

If you REALLY like what we do, you can buy it on Apple Music or Amazon. But if you’re streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, or even just following/subscribing on YouTube and Instagram, you’re getting our music for free.

We make music because we LOVE to make music. And we’ve found a network of like-minded musicians who love to share their talents with us. Honestly, some of them probably appreciate the weird things we do because they couldn’t release this weird stuff themselves.

So why the “low effort” videos? Here’s the reality: platforms like Instagram and YouTube require a video file to share music. The easiest way for us to do that is to drop a static image into a video editor, import our track, and export. Voila—music we can share for FREE.

Our music is made to be heard, not watched. Watch with your ears.

Yes, some of our videos have simple graphics. But we spend our time and energy on the music itself. So instead of critiquing the thumbnail, we hope you crank up the volume and enjoy what we actually worked for.

And to those who leave comments telling us to “do better”—thanks. We’re always trying. But maybe try doing better with your ears first.

We made it to song #300… and somehow only three people have watched!

Yes, you read that right. Three hundred songs, hundreds of hours, zero algorithmic love, and three brave souls who actually clicked play.

Our latest track, “300 Songs (And Only Three Views),” is a tongue-in-cheek, over-the-top comedy rock anthem about pouring your heart into hundreds of songs and getting almost no recognition back. Dramatic guitar solos? Check. Absurd vocals? Check. Lyrics nobody asked for? Absolutely.

If you’ve ever laughed at our meta misery, felt our pain, or just enjoy music that refuses to take itself seriously—this one’s for you.

Like, share, subscribe… or don’t. We’ll keep making songs anyway.
