Summary

The Multiplayers are a faceless band that the internet has gone wild about. They started by playing covers and posting them on YouTube but now they’ve got a slew of original songs and one hell of a fanbase. Tubbo, Ranboo, and Tommy started the band as a joke after a stream one day because “oh, haha, we all play instruments!” but now people actually like their songs… not that anybody actually knows the songs are theirs.

Loved this so much! Super amazing concept and your writing flows extremely well. (for future reference, by the way, the instrument is spelled bass rather than base) Overall I enjoyed reading and I am very excited to read more.

“When Wilbur mentioned Peach Pit during one of his streams, the first thing I thought of was that on their 2017 album "Being So Normal" there's a song called Techno Show and there's a song called Tommy's Party and like... Wilbur must have realized”god that’d be such a wilbur thing to do
