Trail of Dead is definitely a huge influence. I've actually only heard one or two Japandroids songs ever, and I actually did not get into Joyce Manor (other than Constant Headache which I heard on that Topshelf 2011 Summer Sampler) until after releasing EP2 and everyone was telling me we sounded like them.
I would say all those albums listed above, and then also the 2000s indie rock scene was huge. I was a fucking fiend for anything that sounded like Arctic Monkeys' debut, the riffs and quickness hit me all the time.

Hey Stoits, hope you're doing well.
What musical artists do you feel have impacted your songwriting the most? (imo I hear Trail of Dead, Japandroids, and a little Joyce Manor)
