Looks like we’re getting an old school vlog for they recent show in China.
And they premiering it on YouTube, so who knows will be in the chat 🙂
It’s there on YouTube a bit earlier than expected.
Someone was really eager to share!
But who’s going to complain really? It’s fantastic.
The “don’t you want me” in the end… Perfect!
Probably Youtube?
I take that personally, they really want me to feel miserable and that feeling of dread you know 😂
But I love it!
Who’s ready for more goodness?
Just received the ones I won at the auction (both Bastille’s of course 😂).
So glad they are finally here! 🙌
Anyone else who participated else got theirs?
Just announced … Moira, Ralph (from To Kill A King) and Dan will be hitting the road in May for 2 Misfits Together shows next year in London and Manchester!
Presale starts on Monday 28th September and here’s how you can access it :
Pre-order* ‘Misfits Together’ on any album format from the Misfits Together UK Store by 9AM BST on Monday 28th September 2026 to receive an exclusive ticket pre-sale link for the London and Manchester shows in May 2027.
Who’s excited for this? Who’s coming?
I’m sooooooo excited for this! 🔥
From Woody’s stories on IG … It’s set to Snakes.
I do think the choice of music is interesting given they are du to announce something for WW soon(ish).
Still from the fine folks at Bastille Mexico, here’s Dan & Ralph performing “Only Name I Own” for the first time.
Dan said it will be the next song release from the projet after “Oh America (1951)”.
The song is from the point of view of Arthur Miller, and he talks about being pressured by the HVAC to testify again some of his peers.
You can find some resources to learn more about that in that thread where one of our lovely member has compiled some resources :
https://www.reddit.com/r/MisfitsTogether/comments/1w8quw2/resources\_to\_learn\_more/
What do you think of the song?
I can totally imagine it being sung on a theater stage.
I think it conveys really well the what are Arthur Miller is thinking at this point and the stance he taking against what he’s asked to do and why he won’t do it.
It adds a bit of nuance and complexity to the character.
You want to dislike him but at this point in time, he is really doing a noble thing.
And Dan did a really fine job with the singing.
Head to the project Instagram page to ask your questions!
We might get a listen to some songs too!
Who’s excited to hear more?
You can go on the website right now and see who made each cover and for which track.
You can also filter to only see the Bastille ones.
They are all pretty good. I’m impressed.
There’s a lot I wouldn’t say not to!
Did anyone got one or more of them?
Do you have a favourite from that list?
Anyone actually made one (Bastille or not…)?
I have two coming my way, both are Bastille 😁
So things are escalating quickly …
We can now preorder the album based on the musical, and the full tracklist has been revealed.
I haven’t seen a release date yet though.
Release date is 12 March, 2027.
I might be getting slightly super excited by this.
Those songs are all so good (I guess now we can say that’s what we’ve heard at the event last month …).
Just released, the first proper recording of Dan & Ralph new project under the name “Misfits Together”, titled Oh America (1951). Basically the song that IG account was using on all their videos.
Link for Spotify & Apple Music …
Everything’s is starting to fall into place …
Also for the second part …

The font and hour glass are the same than the Misfits Together profile. So expect to know more starting tomorrow.
What do you think ???
So this is the song Dan wrote for the short film 22+1 (released last year, I believe. You can find it on YouTube, but warning about the topics it touches on, most notably pregnancy loss).
I think it is an incredible song and I think Dan’s lyrics are really working with sharing the message and making you feel all the feels.
Just trying to put it words on what it might feel being in that situation.
Dan doing what he does and writing and incredibly sad song, what’s knew?
If you have heard the song, what’s your take on it? Haven’t seen a lot of talks around it and I’m just curious!
I was kinda thinking it might never be released on its own but … now that “Dan” has started sharing song under his own name on streaming, do we think we might get an official release on day?
(Disclaimer : I went to the event last week, so obviously I may know a little bit more (but like really really little), but had already guessed some of it with friends so not entirely surprised. Also not sure what we can say 😂**)**
I’m just interested in what people think of what we publicly have now and how interested people are and what do you think it’s going to be! I just love reading people sharing their opinions and having discussions on stuff I’m passionate about so I guess I’m just picking your brains 😄
Also just need to talk about it 😂
Maybe some people would also like to share their thoughts?
Small summary of the material we got so far !
- Instagram account : @themisfitstogether posting videos of current and past events in America to the tune of a new song where Ralph is chanting “America, America” and stating various things about the country
- Two demos on Soundcloud
- Two demos on streaming services (Check Ralph’s or Dan’s IG bios for link to the demos on everything …)
(The song titled Silver Bullet is both on Soundcloud and streaming so I guess 4 songs total)
Is this something that sound like you’d be interested in?
What do you think they are cooking?
Any random thoughts and comments? 😂
I’m actually fascinated by the subject matter (now that I’ve read a bit about it) and how it seems they might go about using it.
It feels like an extension of &, or something like that. Distant relative? & was dipping a toe, & walked so whatever this is could run …
Also first release under his own name in a long long while for Dan 😁
Following the issues Dan was having with his voice this weekend, they have to cancel Wednesday SZIN show.
This is basically not an ideal situation for everyone and I can imagine the nightmare for anyone who had planned to go (from far away or closer) or were already there for that.
That would be soul crushing to prepare for that and then been suddenly told that it’s not happening. 🫂
As someone who went to Margate this Saturday, I feel a bit guilty that he powered through it to give us the show they gave us that day, and I’m sure Colechester also had a fantastic time.
He was struggling at part and Charlie Barnes & AK Patterson did a wonderful job coming in support and it now seem quite serious.
I do hope he gets better soon and it’s all behind him quickly.
It really might not have been an easy decision to make. But if he loses his voice, that would also be the end of the road basically. So that’s really understandable!
Let’s wish him well!
(Yes I did that, maybe we can have a full school staff soon 😁)
As I‘m listening a podcast about McCarthyism recommended by a friend, I’m just thinking about the past few years and Dan’s side projects and all the things I’ve learned from that.
Between & and now that new project being revealed in full very soon (I presume), I’ve been reading and listening and watching things about so many subjects i wouldn‘t even have thought about before. And I’m grateful for all this knowledge.
I think his way of approaching his work, and mostly using events and people to write songs makes for a very interesting experience and I do hope people also get curious about the things he writes about (if they are not already familiar with them).
The Muses podcast was such a great way to lean on that aspect of & and to get us engaged.
I do hope he keeps on taking us on journeys like this. Cause I really really enjoy it.
I do like listening to good music and feeling like I’m getting a bit smarter by doing it.
Is anybody else also enjoying that as much as I do? 😁

So yesterday, after that IG account that appeared a few days ago posted yet a new reel, I spent a while perusing the content they posted , reading the captions and stuff and trying to think about what all that means.
I do think The Misfits Together is either the name of the project or the name of a band/collective/group of people that Dan & Ralph created for this (no confusing Bastille presents this time. And no need to use their name directly).
The lyrics/song they have “promoted” for now also heavily lean on this two words.
There is a website at the URL themisfitstogether.com that has been “created” around April. Right now, there is nothing but a page about the company who’s in charge of the domain, Safename.
Safename is a company helping brands securing their stuff on the internet.
Turns out EMI.com use the same company (currently redirect towards the universalmusic website).
So EMI being the label Dan/Bastille works with that would make sense that they use the same tools.
If they went into the trouble of securing that, surely it’s important, right?
Also points towards the IG account being legit and Dan’s involvement cause I don’t think Ralph is signed anywhere so EMI being involved would be weird.
The IG account was created in December last year, they have been planning that for a while!
As for “What’s Your America?”, I wonder if this points to the name of the song used on that page. It’s the same of the sound on both TikTok (they are also in there) and IG.
Also could work based on the lyrics.
Or maybe once again, it’s the name of the whole thing. Or both.
I was also wondering if each video/caption points at some lyrics from the whole track.
I could see this as an introduction for a project on American history/evolution (how did we get here type of stuff?), but maybe each song being like a portrait or a significant event?
Not clear on this one!
Dan & Ralph did say it was different from anything they have done until, I’m really curious and pretty excited for the big reveal 😁
What do you think?
For anyone going to the Margate show, if you hadn’t seen, they changed one of the support acts.
Used to be Orla Gartland & Alfie Templeman but they swapped Alfie Templeman for Only The Poets.
I don’t think this was announced anywhere, but one of my friend follow Only The Poet on IG and that’s where she noticed it 🙂
If you go to the other shows and are interested in one of the support, maybe it’s worth checking if anything has changed too!
Do you have a record you cherished more than the others?
Mine is this one The Heart Of The Home by Charlie Barnes, a small artist I follow and probably have never heard of.
But it’s a very special one to me.
It’s a test pressing from the album, totally personalised for me.
And there’s a small story behind it..
I’m a member of his Patreon and when he finished recording it two years ago, he sent it to us immediately in digital form.
So there was a 6 month period where we had access to it but public release had not yet happened.
During this time he did a little livestream show, singing songs from the album and I noticed the lyrics he sang for one of the songs were a little bit different from the one on the album.
Lyrics he provided were matching what he sang though.
So I asked about that, and that’s when he realised he made a mistake after a long recording session, sang the wrong part and used that.
So he went and was able to fix it before he got the record pressed and before he had released it on streaming and he was very grateful for that!
So I guess I feel like I’ve got some real impact on that release and that version of the album is a reminder of that.
The actual record also looks really good (2nd pic).
Very new to Reddit and I only created this account to join one specific community. Turns out I can’t cause of restrictions in place and I have to say I feel a bit discouraged.
I don’t really like the idea of going and commenting on random sub just so I can meet the requirements, it feels a bit wrong.
I’ve read about it and I totally understand the reason and how it work but it can feel a bit discouraging when you don’t know what you’re working towards.
I’ve seen some subs that gives you a clear list of requirement and even tell you were you’re out, other that send you a DM with the requirements if you don’t meet them… but other there’s nothing. Post and comments are juste filtered without a word.
I really appreciated seeing those and I was wondering why this wasn’t a standard practice ? At the very least it would be great if Reddit could inform us what actions are restricted in the sub we are looking at.
Is the only other solution to contact the mods of this sub to see if they would share the specific requirements?
I really liked the fact the feature they introduced of matching the background colour of an album page with the dominant colour of the cover.
I even installed the beta to have it early when it was introduced!
With the new iOS version they have tweaked it to use a darker colour if dark mode is uses at a system leveI.
I totally understand why they introduced a way to tone down this feature for people who prefer it that way.
But as a dark mode user and as someone who think Liquid Glass looks better in dark mode, I’m kinda disappointed that there is no other option for me to get back to the more “colourful“ version of it cause I truly loved it and I did think it looks good and the darker version of it is less satisfying.
I did send feedback to Apple but I’m curious… what do you think?
Do you think Apple should give us an option to choose between the two without having to chose between light and dark mode at a system level?
Would you like having that option?
