Yeah, I'm going to assume that you're all not necessarily used 25 00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:37,760 to playing live at nine am. No, we've played at four am in 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,280 the middle of New York City. Yeah. That was terrible, Yeah, 27 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,079 terrible. Wait is this the story? It is? Oh, let's hear 28 00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,840 it. We like stories. We like stories. We went on tour with 29 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,680 Sauce on the side. Actually last year. It was the tour that I 30 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,719 think when we were on the show last year we were talking about it, 31 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,159 and we went on tour and we played this show in New York and Brooklyn 32 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:07,879 and the show started at twelve thirty in the morning. That was the start 33 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:10,280 time. Yeah, yeah, that's not unusual for New York. No, 34 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,000 it wasn't. And it was actually the best attended show we've ever played in 35 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,680 New York. Oh wow, there's a homeless man who went up to Zoe 36 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,520 our guitar gry. No, it wasn't a homeless duit. He was just 37 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,080 wearing the weirdest fit he had one of like his. In New York, 38 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,599 they all have those like packy sort of like trench coats that they all wear 39 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,560 with whatever. Yeah, and he had a drink in his hand and flip 40 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,639 flops on his feet. And at that time, I had been working at 41 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,520 a coffee shop and I had been going to work at like four thirty in 42 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,240 the morning, so I think I worked that morning. Yeah, So we 43 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,639 drive to New York. I'm passing out, and I have this habit of 44 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,120 falling asleep at venues, so I will like you'll see me on the floor, 45 00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,360 Like I fell asleep at like a couple of bigger shows at the Middle 46 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,159 East. Downstairs, I'm like sleeping up against and Martin's like, oh my 47 00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:58,120 god, like nobody hit her and stuff. So I'm on the sleep of 48 00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:00,280 the like I'm falling asleep on the floor war of this bar, and this 49 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,479 dude walks up the trench coat flip flop dude, and he's like, you 50 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,639 know your song that that second song, you guys play like, is it 51 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,360 right if I talk to you like, you know, like I just want 52 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,280 to tell you about this song. And I'm like, okay, yeah, 53 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,560 like we wrote that blah blah blah blah blah. And then he's like, 54 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,159 you know what, it reminds me of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. And 55 00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:24,840 I was like, we make hardcore music, like well, and I just 56 00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:28,719 started laughing at this poor dude, and I thought he was joking, but 57 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,280 no, He's like no, like it's seriously, like is it inspired by 58 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,840 it or something? And I was like, ah, I don't know. 59 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,199 You're gonna have to ask one of the dudes. And he's like, okay, 60 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,439 sorry for wasting your time, and he disappeared. Yeah, like just 61 00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:47,360 out of nowhere. He was looking for that collab. Well it's the thing, 62 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,400 though, you know, music is art, and art is open to 63 00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:54,639 whatever interpretation you have, whatever you get out of it. So hopefully hopefully 64 00:03:54,639 --> 00:04:00,719 he benefited from that, I would hope. So, yeah, very are 65 00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:04,919 you one of those people who can fall asleep anywhere? Yes, yeah, 66 00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:09,520 I think that. I was like, we saw one of my favorite bands. 67 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,520 It was was it saying it was two hundred. It was two hundred 68 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,160 stab wounds, and I had seen them before in Utah because that's where I'm 69 00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:21,000 originally from. And I was in the corner. I was falling asleep standing 70 00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:25,040 up, and Martin had to like just be like yo, like, we 71 00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:28,720 gotta leave soon because it's gonna look weird as me. Like like if I 72 00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:31,360 a six foot tall man is carrying out like a five foot one, like 73 00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:35,439 pasted out woman, that's like I can't prove if this woe's like my wife 74 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:41,040 or anything. It's some red flags. Yeah, yeah, no doubt. 75 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,480 Well, let's let's give this a spin. So this is so, this 76 00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:47,639 is another world radio premiere.

I'm I'm very curious to hear how this 101 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,199 how how your music translates to an acoustic in terms of an acoustic performance. 102 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,320 So this will be this will be very interesting. Yeah, give me a 103 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,360 second here kind of well, yeah, I know it's it's uh, it's 104 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:39,039 close quarters.

But uh, if you're just joining us, uh yeah, we'll 106 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,519 uh we'll kind of let them, but let them get situated here. But 107 00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,080 uh, we have set the bar low with us live in studio and they're 108 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,360 gonna perform. Yeah. We we have a few on the record. We 109 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,799 have some softer stuff. We all like a lot of divers different times of 110 00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:03,639 music. Yeah, so we wanted the opportunity to get to try and do 111 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:09,440 something that was a lot more lower dynamics than we typically have had the opportunity 112 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,039 to do in the past. Okay, all right, this will be cool. 113 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,600 I'm very very interested to hear this. I'm gonna take a sip of 114 00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:22,480 water real quick. And we even have a banjo. Yeah it's very cool. 115 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,440 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I assumed as much. Yeah, no, 116 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,720 this is awesome.

I can hear, can hear the bass, I can hear the 120 00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:50,600 drum. Yeah, I think we're I think we're good with levels. Okay. 121 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,200 So yeah, whenever you're whenever you're ready, this will be interesting. 122 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,000 Yeah. So this is this is gonna be our second single. We're putting 123 00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:03,120 it out in two weeks.

It's not acoustic, but 146 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:18,120 it's all clean guitars and whatnot. It's kind of atmospheric. Yeah. I 147 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,240 could talk a bit more about sort of the meaning behind some of these songs 148 00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:24,320 after we've played them, but this one is called Home is where the Heart 149 00:13:24,399 --> 00:14:11,120 Gets spent?

It's kind it's 168 00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:15,000 not really a concept record, but there is like an overarch arcing theme. 169 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,559 I would say, just kind of. It's the name of the record's gonna 170 00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:26,960 be called Repercussions, And the lyrical content is mostly just about like what happens 171 00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:33,319 when when things, when we do things without really thinking it through, kind 172 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,920 of on a personal level, but also as like a cultural like sort of 173 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:45,160 note and a lot of it to me when writing it, it's very kind 174 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:51,759 of trying to express the feeling of like of feeling like we've we've been here 175 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:59,519 before, and it feels like we kind of have these touchstones in time where 176 00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:03,920 like domino effects happen and then we end up in the same place we were, 177 00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:07,400 and then another one happens and it kind of spirals around and all. 178 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,799 It's like an infinite sort of chain of events that lead us back into similar 179 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,279 circumstances. And I feel like that happens on a wider level with everything, 180 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,720 but I think it also happens in your personal life and like you're gonna you're 181 00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:26,359 gonna repeat like, yeah, the mistakes that your family might have made or 182 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:33,039 yeah, and it's kind of about I would say, like the first part 183 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,480 of the record is mostly about just sort of that being the case, and 184 00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:42,119 then the second record or second part of the record is I hope, somewhat 185 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,599 more optimistic in trying to figure out how to cope with that and work through 186 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,880 it. Yeah, it's interesting. I was kind of thinking about that. 187 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,039 I was thinking about that last night, sort of along the lines of what 188 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,319 you're saying. On a personal level. I was I don't even know what 189 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,680 made me think of it. Maybe may but it was after listening to some 190 00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:04,839 of your songs because I was I was, uh, yeah, yeah, 191 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,640 I don't know, because I was, I was scanning through them on band 192 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,400 camp and uh, and again I really like what you're doing. But I 193 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,519 was kind of thinking about, you know, things from my childhood and it 194 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,559 I'm also I don't know if you know this about me. I'm a hypnotherapist 195 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,880 and a lot of the times people clients come to me for, you know, 196 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,079 for help with uh. Oftentimes it's basic phobias things like that and things 197 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,319 that are rooted in our childhood, things that happened to us in our childhood 198 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,559 and affects us, affect us as adults. And I was actually thinking last 199 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,920 night about patterns of behavior from when I was a kid, you know, 200 00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:41,920 I was. I ruminate a lot, far, far more than it's healthy. 201 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,759 But yeah, and and that's that's probably an element of human nature too. 202 00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:51,599 We probably all do it to varying degrees, definitely, But I was 203 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,480 I was thinking about I was thinking about ways I'm different and how I've changed 204 00:20:56,519 --> 00:21:00,759 and evolved in in in ways, but also ways where I feel like I 205 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,440 haven't, where I feel like I'm the same person as I was when I 206 00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:07,440 was fifteen in some ways, and how frustrated I am by that. So 207 00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:10,079 I was kind of thinking about that kind of thing where you know, and 208 00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:15,599 history repeats both personally and Yeah, no, definitely, I think it would 209 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:21,759 be fair to say that most people forget that they need to continue to actively 210 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,480 try and grow as you get older. I think a lot of people don't 211 00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:33,559 realize that working on yourself is not something that is particularly pleasant or that will 212 00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:37,799 always come easy, but it's a necessity for happiness in opinion. Yeah, 213 00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:42,559 and you also said too in terms of your lyrics, you were talking about 214 00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:49,440 that on a broader scale as well. There's a lot of I hesitate to 215 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,480 say like political because I don't want to. Well, Martin's a very big 216 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,920 history buff. We like go to Barnes and Noball all the time, and 217 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,640 he finds like a really cool book and he gets really educated on it. 218 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,640 Read this book about how they trained bears to dance, Like where was it 219 00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,119 like in Russia? Yeah, And he wrote a song about it and it 220 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,400 was like a really cool thing. Yeah. I think I saw that on 221 00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:12,680 band camp. Yes, if you teach a bear to dance? Yeah, 222 00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:19,400 yeah, yeah, yeah, just yeah. A lot of historical things I 223 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:26,119 like reading about, and it often like gets under my skin in a way, 224 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,200 and I kind of feel the need to write about it to alleviate some 225 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:36,680 of that. And I find it's interesting when you look at history how much 226 00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:42,480 you can find the similarities and in your everyday life and then also in the 227 00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:48,839 world at large, Like it's interesting to realize that figures of history are people 228 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,599 and they had like feelings, and it's that's an interesting because we kind of 229 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,279 glorify them and we like iconize them into like being this thing. But it's 230 00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:03,960 not like they were like you and I, but they were in a circumstance 231 00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:07,079 in which this is what happened. And I feel like that's very fascinating, 232 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,200 right, and yeah, and and and things do repeat. It kind of 233 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,160 feels like humanity. We kind of go in circles. Yeah, you know, 234 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,119 right there with you about the same stuff. Yeah, and then you 235 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,359 know, and and those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 236 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:29,920 And humans are really bad at learning from history. We we we we 237 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:36,400 learn history, but we don't actually learn from it unfortunately. Yeah, we 238 00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:40,160 we just repeat. Yeah, yeah, Well, I mean it's it's tough 239 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,799 to I think admit. I think it's equally as tough to admit where we've 240 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,400 gone wrong as it is to admit where we've gone right. I fel like 241 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:56,200 it's difficult in general to to to concede our failures and also concede that it's 242 00:23:56,279 --> 00:24:00,759 not all bad and that we have one at times. And that also can 243 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,440 be true on both a micro and a macro level. Right, Yeah, 244 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,960 absolutely, how long has how long has this band been the five of you? 245 00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:14,759 Has it always been this lineuper so? It was the four of us? 246 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,240 So Okay, let me give a brief history. So when I was 247 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,640 in Sauce on the side of the band I played drums for, we went 248 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:27,079 on tour in twenty twenty one. We went to Utah and I met Zoe 249 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,640 Well. I booked the show. Zoe booked the show in Utah because we 250 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,200 had met online and she booked the show in Utah, and then we started 251 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,200 talking, and then we started dating, and then we thought wouldn't it be 252 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,480 cool we started a band, and me and James and Danny were in a 253 00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:45,400 separate band at the time that we decided to not do that anymore. We 254 00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:52,160 went into this like heavier thing and so then Zoe moved over here. But 255 00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:56,079 before that, I had like shows where James was living in New Jersey and 256 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,359 I was living in Utah. So I'd strap my guitar on my back and 257 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,680 fly with it for the six hour flight wow, and then come to the 258 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,559 shows. We practiced like if we were lucky two times before the show. 259 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,079 Yeah, And we just had like these dope shows and Martin's basement. So 260 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,519 we wrote our first DP remotely. We all sent each other like rifts and 261 00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:18,200 stuff and recorded them remotely, and then we all showed up in a room, 262 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,960 practiced once, and then the next day it played our first show, 263 00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:26,759 Wow Wow, which was very stressful, and we did that twice. And 264 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,079 then after a couple months, James moved here and Zoe moved here. They 265 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:37,720 both moved in with me, and we kind of just started playing shows. 266 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,359 And at this point we were a four piece. We had two guitarists, 267 00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:45,880 vocals, and drums. And then we did that for a while and then 268 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,960 Joel is actually an old friend of James and I. We met when we 269 00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:56,559 were kids and we just got back in contact and I was like, hey, 270 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,039 you should come join my band because you're a good bass you're a good 271 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:06,000 dude. And he thought about it for a bit and then he decided that 272 00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:08,559 he was going to come hang out with the best decision I ever made. 273 00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:14,319 Yeah, Yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome, and it's I think, 274 00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:18,319 what is a testament to you know that you've really got something good going here, 275 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,519 is that you were really kind of against the odds getting this band off 276 00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,440 the ground, right, because what you just told me and how this came 277 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,920 about, it shouldn't have worked. No, No, definitely not. Yeah, 278 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,920 yeah, somehow you all here, you all are I mean you you 279 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,279 know, you used to live in Utah and now you're flying here and everything. 280 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,160 And yet somehow, in in spite of all of that, here you 281 00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:41,160 all are sitting in this room together as a band. Pretty amazing, and 282 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:47,480 that is amazing. Also, in that time we got married. We yeah, 283 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,079 we're a happy bunch. I'd say, yeah, yeah, well now 284 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,200 the band can never break up. Then no, yeah, no Fleetwood Mac 285 00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:59,759 business. But that's that's right, that's right, very cool. So now, 286 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,240 so you've got a big tour coming, right we do, yes, 287 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,880 So in starting at the end of May, we're going to Canada, and 288 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:14,400 then in June we are going all over the place. We're hitting Let's see 289 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,920 if I can name the Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, 290 00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:27,759 Arizona, New Mexico. Four dates in Texas, Louisiana, two dates in 291 00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:36,119 Florida, North Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia. I don't think we did 292 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,039 get at Georgia, and then New Jersey and New Hampshire. Yeah, we'll 293 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:47,599 have a big homecoming show, hopefully in Milford at a skate park with all 294 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,119 of our friends. Oh, very cool, very cool. Is it difficult 295 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,400 to uh like? Who handles that part of it booking all those shows. 296 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,880 Well, so I have a really bad habit, Like I have all the 297 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,279 internet connections. Like I said, I met Martin on TikTok and I during 298 00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:06,640 the pandemic, you know, just kind of bored at home, and I 299 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,119 really liked music, and the place where I grew up, I there weren't 300 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,799 there wasn't a lot of kids listening to the same sort of music that I 301 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:18,319 was because it was seeing the like devil music, and so they're like, 302 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,440 oh yeah, my church said I couldn't listen to that, But that was 303 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,839 something I was really into. And I started branching out and meeting new people. 304 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,960 So I have friends all over the country that were gonna go meet Like 305 00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:32,079 I have a couple of friends in Texas, friends in Georgia. We just 306 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,440 recently played with one of my really close internet friends in Virginia. So I 307 00:28:36,759 --> 00:28:40,519 hit them all up, and I I don't know, like whatever is in 308 00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:44,599 my brain, like goldfish brain. I was like, James Martin, Danny 309 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,119 Joel, can you can you guys follow up on these because I I just 310 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,920 can't remember. I'll yeah, I just annoy people online until they have no 311 00:28:52,079 --> 00:28:56,240 option but to book us. I just them and they're like, I'll book 312 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,880 your band if you leave me alone. Yeah, persistence is what it takes. 313 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:04,799 Yeah, absolutely, And James has definitely been the main guy for this, 314 00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:08,599 Like we've all done our part when we can, but James says he's 315 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,799 really been the dude to He's booked, Like he's booked pretty much every show 316 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:18,119 for this. There's like twenty three dates that he's booked with no help. 317 00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:21,400 Wow. Yeah, so he's he's been in a powerhouse with this. With 318 00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:26,200 the rest of us are just like doing our part and pretending that we're helping. 319 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,559 Well, it's genuinely a job, like people don't realize how much work 320 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,440 goes into it. Like me and Joel we just recently quit our jobs so 321 00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:37,799 we could go onto this tour. My my job is really cool at first 322 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,200 because I I'm really upfront with my managers and I'd like to say that I'm 323 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,680 a good employee. So I was like, hey, just so you know, 324 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,680 like just to profess everything, like I am a musician, I'm in 325 00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:51,519 a band. This is like my life's passions, like goals, and like 326 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,359 I play shows a lot, so I'm gonna be diligent and I'm gonna take 327 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,559 off all the time that I need so I don't harm your guys's business. 328 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,559 And they were like, oh yeah, so cool. And just lately the 329 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,000 business has been kind of going terribly and so I'm glad I liquidated All by 330 00:30:07,079 --> 00:30:11,920 Socks before it started going downhill. But my manager was like, yeah, 331 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,759 we're just gonna have to write you up because you called out like twice, 332 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,200 and you know, we can't have you go on all in all these tours 333 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,599 and stuff. And I'm like, well, I put in the time off 334 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,519 and I have the vacation time. So at that point I was a little 335 00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:26,720 fed up. It was after Christmas, and I was like, I want 336 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,480 to do music and if I'm going to go all in with like me and 337 00:30:29,599 --> 00:30:32,640 my bandmates, I'm just gonna go all in, Like there's no reason not 338 00:30:32,759 --> 00:30:34,160 to. We're on this earth for such a short amount of time, and 339 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,480 if I'm not doing something I enjoy, it's not really worth it at all, 340 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,240 right, right, Yeah, Yeah, it's too bad too that they 341 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:45,839 treated you that way. Yeah, what you get for corporations. Yeah yeah, 342 00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:51,759 it was very unfortunate circumstance. But I feel like it's it's made it 343 00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:56,880 all like there's there's a really nice sort of pressure to it all. It's 344 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:02,640 like we have like something right on this that is like I think could be 345 00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:04,079 seen as a negative, but I kind of see it as a positive because 346 00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:10,799 it's like there's so many people who who I feel like look back and wish 347 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,480 they had done things they wanted to do. And I'm not. I'm not 348 00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:18,240 going to say that this is gonna work out and we're gonna make it, 349 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,759 so to speak, but I will. I'll be able to like tell my 350 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,920 kids someday like, yeah, well I did that right, Like it might 351 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,039 not have worked out, but I did it. Yeah. Well. My 352 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,839 dad he also grew up in the same place, born in the same hospital, 353 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,000 same little town. He was number eight out of eleven kids, just 354 00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:37,640 because that's the culture over there. Yeah, and he told his parents He's 355 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,599 like, I want to be a rock star, and his parents looked at 356 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,079 him and were like, no, no, you're not. So he tried 357 00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:47,160 to have all these bands and stuff and music's something he's wanted to do his 358 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,319 whole life, and yeah, I had all this equipment and it just seemed 359 00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:53,400 kind of like a broken dream because he got married young and like he absolutely 360 00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:56,200 loves my mom and loves my siblings, but like I always feel like there 361 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,640 was a part of him that missed out on being a muse musician. But 362 00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:05,759 I was very like thankful and like he was very grateful because he gave me 363 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,599 all the tools that I needed and had the stepping stones for like, so 364 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,400 he could basically live vicariously through me. And I'm like forever grateful for that. 365 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,680 Yeah, yeah, that's really cool. Does he still play? Yeah, 366 00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:22,039 he honestly, Like he taught me how to play guitar, and like 367 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,559 his rifts and stuff bleed through into like my music and my inspirations. Cause 368 00:32:28,359 --> 00:32:30,960 he lived in Mexico City. I think it was about four years with my 369 00:32:30,039 --> 00:32:34,000 mom because that's where my mom's from. Oh so they did the whole long 370 00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:36,920 distance thing too, like oh wow, repeating cycles. Yeah, yeah, 371 00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:39,839 so they did all of that. And he's got like a lot of Latin 372 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,240 influences in his guitar playing, and like I love my dad's guitar playing. 373 00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:47,079 So if you hear a lot in our music, Like we played with this 374 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,000 band from Texas and they came up to me and they were like, yo, 375 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,000 you guys got that like Texas Latin groove going on, and my heart 376 00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:57,759 just melted. I was like, you guys get it, like seriously. 377 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,000 Yeah, both of our parents were music so my mom and dad were also 378 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:07,960 musicians in the punk scene in New England in the nineties and uh so I 379 00:33:07,119 --> 00:33:13,279 was raised on punk and all that stuff. Like, so they've always been 380 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,559 super super supportive of what we do. They're probably listening right now. Yeah, 381 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:22,839 yeah, good good Yeah. And and you know, to take the 382 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,880 chance to you know, like like you were talking about quitting the job and 383 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,279 whatnot. You know, now's now's the time to do it too, right, 384 00:33:28,319 --> 00:33:30,920 I mean you're young and you know you don't I assume you don't have 385 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,880 kids yet, right, yeah, before before you start the family and you 386 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,640 know, do all that. Now's now's the time to do it because you 387 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,799 know, well you can afford to you know, part of your life. 388 00:33:42,839 --> 00:33:45,400 So yeah, now's the time to to take that chance. And you you 389 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,880 know, you've got a great thing going here. And uh and like I 390 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,160 said, you know, the five of you getting together like this, it 391 00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:52,839 it from from what you told me, it shouldn't have worked out, but 392 00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:55,680 but it did. So so that's a that's a great testament to what you're 393 00:33:55,759 --> 00:34:00,279 doing. We should have. I was thinking we could play in other studio 394 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,599 track because oh yeah, because uh, Martin, you were talking about or 395 00:34:05,799 --> 00:34:07,880 Zoe maybe you brought it up. But if if you teach a bear to 396 00:34:07,239 --> 00:34:09,800 if you teach a bear to dance, let me let me just make sure 397 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,119 the lyrics to that are clean real quick. They should be. I think 398 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,719 they are, because the nice thing about your band camp is it has the 399 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,840 lyrics it does on it. Yeah. Yeah, there's no, there's no 400 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,679 yeah yeah. I mean you're screaming anyway, So if somebody had like a 401 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,000 good enough ear maybe they could understand. But I try not to be too 402 00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:30,320 sweary in our lyrics. Yeah, I noticed that. I noticed that, 403 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,880 I think, didn't I I think I said to Jenny too, didn't I 404 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,840 say to you? I don't think there's any Yes, is this the band 405 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,920 I was talking about? I don't think there's any swears, but even if 406 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:46,760 there are, I can't understand them. Yeah this yeah all right, Yeah, 407 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,440 let's uh, let's give this a listen because we were talking about it 408 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880 earlier. This is if you teach a bear to dance, and uh, 409 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,039 the band is set the bar low there here with us in studio. Check 410 00:34:57,119 --> 00:35:13,280 this out, B time gop ji alright, why father job jo Jo jop 411 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:37,559 up back jack alright, what god b b blas who love right?

And of course the band is set the Barlow, and 417 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:44,559 we have set the barlow with us here in studio, by the way, 418 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,920 so we do have In the chat room, Karen Harvey Olsen, I assume 419 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,079 that is my mother. Your mother. Very nice, very nice that she's 420 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:58,719 supportive. That's extremely nice. That's awesome. Melanie, our friend Melanie law 421 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,960 Liberty in the chat room, said something about oh yeah. She said, 422 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:09,159 were you wondering what the blank happened to these guys as kids? Well, 423 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:19,119 that's funny. How do you describe your music for people who haven't heard it? 424 00:38:19,559 --> 00:38:22,320 Everyone always say it's a question, but I'm just curious. Yeah, 425 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:28,400 so it depends. I usually just say, like hardcore metal or punk. 426 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,760 Just if people are like into the type of music and want more specifics. 427 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,480 I'll say, like, depends. I don't know. We've only been a 428 00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:43,519 band for less than three years now, and I feel like we're only just 429 00:38:43,639 --> 00:38:45,920 kind of now starting to really establish what our sound is. Nowadays, i'd 430 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:51,280 probably say we're just like a hardcore like metal or punk band. But yeah, 431 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,440 in the earlier stuff like we just heard, I would have said grindcore, 432 00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:59,119 which is like a specific subgenre of metal that is just very fast and 433 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:04,239 very aggressive and over very quickly. Yeah. Yeah, your songs, speaking 434 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,079 of over very quickly, your most of your songs are kind of short. 435 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,360 Yeah. Is that is that by design or does that so on the earlier 436 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,559 stuff, I think it was definitely by the design. On the new record, 437 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,519 we kind of tried to have it be a little more traditional song length 438 00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:22,760 and structuring. We actually the last song on the new record is ten minutes 439 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:28,039 long. Oh wow, it's got like sections and so many different instruments on 440 00:39:28,159 --> 00:39:30,639 it too. Yeah. We were so we so we recorded I think I 441 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,199 mentioned this earlier. We recorded this in a cabin in the middle of the 442 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,119 woods in upstate New York that we rented. We brought all of our own 443 00:39:37,199 --> 00:39:43,719 gear in to record it ourselves. Yeah, and we brought every instrument we 444 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,920 had. We brought a pump organ, banjo's, twelve string, acoustics, 445 00:39:49,039 --> 00:39:52,920 trump stylophone, every little like noise making thing that we could, pretty much 446 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,599 everything we own. Wow, And we brought it in and we tracked it. 447 00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:01,000 We set up two studios rooms in the cabin. We had Studio A 448 00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:06,159 and Studio B is the bathroom and that is where we would track all the 449 00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:09,800 acoustic instruments and all the vocals in the shower, and then Studio A was 450 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,119 the living room, which is where we tracked all the guitars, bass and 451 00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:17,920 drums. Yeah and yeah. So on the new stuff, To answer your 452 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,239 original question, I would say we kind of try and have it be a 453 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:28,800 little more song length, but the quicker ones there just because we want to 454 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,320 get to the point when we play live, we'd like to be able to 455 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,639 play as many songs as we can. So if every song is a minute 456 00:40:34,679 --> 00:40:37,960 long, we can play like ten songs and it'll be fifteen minutes. We 457 00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:43,119 have interlude tracks too that are very like synth and pop and I don't even 458 00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:47,320 know, it's just very different. Yeah, Now, when is the new 459 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,079 album supposed to be out. Is that, I believe June fourteenth. Okay, 460 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:57,360 yes, we have another single coming out May tenth, and then we 461 00:40:57,559 --> 00:41:02,679 with a music video also shot and directed by Griffin Rompri he has If you 462 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:07,199 guys listening want to check him out, he is available for video shoots and 463 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,840 he is very good and he's just starting, so you should hit him up. 464 00:41:12,559 --> 00:41:15,199 He's shooting our music video for that. And then we have another single 465 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,840 in the beginning of June, right before the record, and then the record 466 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,719 comes out, we'll have CDs. We're hoping to get tapes to, no 467 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:29,280 kidding, yep. Yeah. The tape thing is interesting to me because I 468 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,039 think it was probably, uh, maybe six or seven years ago. Now 469 00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:35,599 I was I was actually on band camp and I was poking around. I 470 00:41:35,679 --> 00:41:39,880 was looking for for local artists and uh and I was stunned. I remember 471 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:45,559 this moment vividly when I saw that someone was selling cassette tapes. Yeah, 472 00:41:45,559 --> 00:41:47,280 it's a it's a big thing these days. Cool again yeah, and then 473 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,440 uh yeah, and then I was like and then I realized a lot of 474 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,440 a lot of people were doing it. I was like, oh, I'll 475 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,239 be down. Yeah, I collect me and Martin. We have a pretty 476 00:41:54,320 --> 00:42:00,840 big like physical music collection, and uh, like I just recently with Savers. 477 00:42:01,039 --> 00:42:04,960 Yeah, I thought, but I went to Savers and I found like 478 00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:07,400 Slayers first album, like the first release, and they go for a lot 479 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,320 of money nowadays. Wow, yeah, yeah, are you crazy. Yeah, 480 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,159 It's it's interesting to see like what technology goes away and what technology sticks 481 00:42:17,199 --> 00:42:21,320 around, or when they go away and then come back. Yeah, yeah, 482 00:42:21,599 --> 00:42:24,119 exactly, because it's very often it doesn't go the way everyone's predicting. 483 00:42:24,559 --> 00:42:29,639 Like years and years ago, I was a manager at a CD store, 484 00:42:29,679 --> 00:42:34,000 and you know, CDs were supposed to be gone, yep, at least 485 00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:36,440 a decade ago. You know, people were saying there's not gonna be any 486 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,239 more CDs, it's all gonna be digital media. But CDs are still Yeah, 487 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,000 I love them, and uh, you know in Vinyl, which of 488 00:42:43,039 --> 00:42:45,960 course never went away. But I think not only did Vinyl have such an 489 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,760 incredible resurgence, but I think it was twenty twenty two maybe was sold CDs 490 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,280 for the first time. Yeah, just amazing. Of course with Vinyl, 491 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,039 a lot of people too, you know, they open it, I mean 492 00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:00,119 they buy it and they never actually open it because it's an art, you 493 00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:02,199 know, they just want to collect you just collected. Yeah, yeah, 494 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:07,440 yeah. So now when does the tour start? The tour? The first 495 00:43:07,519 --> 00:43:12,559 day of the tour is June seventeenth, Okay, it might be the eighteenth, 496 00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:15,679 I don't remember. It's the first date is in Columbus, Ohio. 497 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:20,920 I think we're playing a laundromat. Yeah, it's a laundromat. That also 498 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,119 is a venue, I believe. And it's Ohio. Yeah, okay, 499 00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:27,639 And that is the first date of the US tour. The first date of 500 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,199 the run where we're going to Canada is h May thirtieth. We're playing in 501 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:39,760 Vermont and then we're playing two dates in Quebec and then a date in Ontario. 502 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,519 Now, what do you do? You rent a do you rent a 503 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,840 van or do you have a van? We just bought a vant A twelve 504 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,559 Theedar van. Yeah, we're going to rent a U haul trailer for our 505 00:43:50,639 --> 00:43:54,000 gear. Yeah, but we have a twelve Theedar van for Zoe and I 506 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:59,960 just purchased it. And yeah it's very nice. We've done tours before. 507 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,440 We slept in it and in mini vans, and it was much less nice 508 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,280 the last tour that we did and set the Barlow in January. We set 509 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:14,119 it up. This is very not okay, I don't recommend doing this, 510 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,079 Okay. We set up the back of the mini van. We put the 511 00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:21,400 seats down, and we loaded in gym matts and three people just laid on 512 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,639 the gym mats in the back of the van on top of so we put 513 00:44:23,679 --> 00:44:27,840 the guitars down, and then we put the mats on top of the guitar 514 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,199 cases because they're hardshell. And then we loaded me and Zoe and Joel into 515 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,360 the back of the van and we just laid down and played Mario Kart for 516 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,960 them because you're like sitting the wrong way. And then like I don't know 517 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,480 if you've seen Joel and Martin, but they're very, very tall, so 518 00:44:44,679 --> 00:44:49,280 I had to like take the like side seat and just like keep to myself. 519 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,159 Yeah, but we did that and it was not horrible. But we're 520 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,800 never doing it again. Yeah, and we have a van now so we 521 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,880 never need to. Yeah. No, it's smart though, with the gym 522 00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:02,559 that's so that's a that's a good idea. Well, let's uh, we 523 00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:06,639 are already approaching the top of the hour. It goes so quickly. Well, 524 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,320 we'll actually play one more we can play one more studio track from stand 525 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,960 up to solution uh to uh to wrap up the segment. But thank you. 526 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,039 I appreciate all five of you coming in. This is great. I 527 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,519 really enjoyed the live performance. Anytime we have a banjo, that's cool. 528 00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:22,320 Yeah, something different, you know, I really really enjoyed that a lot. 529 00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:27,519 Where should people go online to keep up with everything that you're doing? 530 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,119 So we have an Instagram that's probably the most active. We also have a 531 00:45:30,199 --> 00:45:34,400 Facebook, but it's a little less active than the Instagram. We also have 532 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,280 a YouTube where we have our music videos coming out, and we have some 533 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:43,760 live shows on there, but predominantly Instagram is our main tool. St b 534 00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:46,960 L Underscore band Insta. I'm glad you remember it. I did it. 535 00:45:47,199 --> 00:45:52,159 I got you excellent, excellent, very good. And what should we finish 536 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,679 off with here? We got to let me think, what's a good one 537 00:45:53,719 --> 00:46:00,960 that doesn't no, don't do bees bees there's definitely I forgot uh. We've 538 00:46:00,039 --> 00:46:05,199 got nobody suspects. The Butterfly is the last track on that. I think 539 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,880 that one should be good. I did listen to that one because I remember 540 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,679 I remember thinking I really liked this one. Yeah, as you said, 541 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,480 nobody'll be able to tell either way, but I think it should be good. 542 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,519 And I do remember reading the lyrics because it's got the lyrics here on 543 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,000 band camp, and yeah, I'm glad I did that because I don't. 544 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:23,719 Yeah, that's it. I wish everyone did that. It would make it 545 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,639 a lot easier when I'm trying to figure out, you know, does this 546 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,599 somebody swears on it? But no, that's very very cool. So yeah, 547 00:46:30,639 --> 00:46:34,079 so we'll finish with this Nobody Suspects the Butterfly. Uh, set the 548 00:46:34,119 --> 00:46:36,719 bar low.
