So through the YouTube rabbit hole I stumbled across a band called Larkin Poe (who have apparently been performing for 10 years and this the first I've heard of them.) They started off as a bluegrass band called the Lovell Sisters, then the eldest sister retired, the two remaining sisters renamed the band (after an ancestor who was a cousin of Edgar Allan Poe) and over the years they transitioned to playing blues and what they call "roots rock".
This is the song I came across initially: "Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues" [link]
They also do quite a few covers, like this killer version of Bob Dylan's "New Pony" from one of their concerts: [link]
Or this great version of "Paint it Black" (which is one of my favorite Rolling Stones tunes) from their Tip of the Hat series of videos: [link]
Not often I get this excited about a new (to me) artist, so I had to come here and gush for a bit.
The BTS performance on Late Show with Stephen Colbert was amazing!
What part of that wasn't lip-synched?
That actually sounds like mostly live singing to me. They almost always sing live over a backing track, and sometimes the backing track is more prominent than here. (They lip sync very poorly, actually.)
Their recent performance on SNL was 100% live with no backing track. SNL has taken the video down, but it's out there via people reacting to them, for example: [link] if you'd like to compare the two performances.
If you just wanted to automatically discount the ability of pop artists, well, that's your privilege, I guess.

Not at all. It sounded lip-synched to me. [shrug]
Why is "Mercy Mercy Me" suddenly stuck in my head? I would swear I heard it just recently, but I have no idea where.
(I don't think it was in the
Legion
premiere, was it?)
Guys guys guys... My Chem.
I. Am. Beside. Myself.
Did you get tickets? I was in the online queue for 35 minutes and then got the SOLD OUT message. :(
No, but I am confident they will tour.
Since they can stand to be together, they'll be together. :)
