It's always interesting hearing Oli speak like this -- his responses are always so measured and thoughtful

As this guy ages he's becoming so much more humble. Honestly great to see as his personality could get on my nerves years ago. Now I have nothing but respect for Oli.

Oli’s vision for BMTH has been such a ride…I’m so happy to still be understood & surprised by a giving sound that eventually just plays in my mind. So grateful to experience his art in this lifetime ❤

"Everyone knows it's not good to have any idol because they are just humans and they can make mistakes sometimes, and it's okay. Everyone deserves to have the right to commit mistakes.

But that man...

It's very hard not to have him as my only idol."

"if Instagram was a pub you would not go into that pub" - Oli nailed that, I had to drop most socials from my life too because of how toxic the communication is, not my kinda pub that's for sure!

BMTH has been a band for 20 years god I’m getting old

Bmth’s music has helped me so much with my sobriety & mental health journey, I was addicted to meth & crack for several years which has caused for me to go into psychosis and put in a psychward on involuntarily hold for 15+ days, 3 different times. I don’t know where I’d be right now on my journey without their music being so relatable to me in those moments.
The songs Oh No, Strangers & Lost have really helped me stay sober and on the right track, they’re my go to music when I get cravings and it helps me stay strong, so thank-you for willing to be more vulnerable and open with that stuff because it helps me immensely. Xo

14:01 until 16:01 part really resonated with me!
I love watching Oli in interviews; theres that sincerity in his commentary that makes you feel really connected and it gives you a sense of reassurance. Thank you, Oli, for staying true to yourself; you’re truly an inspiration!

I absolutely love BMTH, they’ve always been themselves and never bowed to the masses!
They’ve always done what they wanted to do and it’s payed off.
Ollie’s lyrics are always brilliant and a few of his songs have helped me through some tough times. Plus they’re all northerners which is a massive plus.
Love BMTH, Love Ollie can’t wait to see them again!
