1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,320 Let's go ahead, get those mics up for you guys. We're going to 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,599 introduce our great musical guests. So we have on the couch, uh, 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:14,800 Matt Collier and you are from the band Witch Trot. Yes? And is 4 00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:17,399 it by the way, is it one word or two? I can't. 5 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,320 I can't figure out online if it's one word or two. It depends on 6 00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:25,559 the month. Yeah, it is one word, but is the is the 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,960 second syllable also capitalized? Yes? Oh? Okay, So I got it 8 00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:31,839 right then in the Facebook post I made earlier. That's good. That's good. 9 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,920 So we have Matt Collier is here and Edward McPherson. Am I saying 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,679 last name correctly? That is how it's pronounced. Very impressive You got it 11 00:00:39,759 --> 00:00:43,039 right the first time, because a lot of people don't. Why what do 12 00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:47,479 people usually say McPherson. They usually say McPherson. As far as I understand 13 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,039 it, I think McPherson is the Irish way and McPherson is the Scottish way. 14 00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:57,399 Oh, I think that's it. So you're a Scottish of Scottish descent, 15 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,760 and Gottish people get upset if you say things the Irish way, right, 16 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,760 and assume it's the same, because it's not the same. You're different. 17 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,640 At that point, you're in over my head. See I'm irish, 18 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,959 so I understand these things. But by the way, you guys are getting 19 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,239 some love in the Facebook live chat already. Let's see, we have Adam 20 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,519 Jocelyn from able Blood.

Yeah, it's 65 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:23,240 definitely a lot of the grunge nineties music like Kirk Obain, Avin Rossdale, 66 00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:30,079 Yeah yeah, Pete Hamilton from Helmet. Those are my vocal influences. Yeah, 67 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,639 yeah, very cool. Now, now the two of you is is 68 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,680 are the two of you witch Trot? Or are there other members? Because 69 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,160 I know I saw I saw at least one video online, a live video 70 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,920 where it was just the two of you. Yeah, right now, it's 71 00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:50,439 the two of us. We've had my girlfriend Ed's sister Meghan fill in on 72 00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:57,800 bass for us for some shows. Yeah, great band, exactly. Yeah, 73 00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:02,519 so but for right now, just the two of us. And uh 74 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,480 now, how long have the two of you been in the spand like, 75 00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:10,879 are you both original members of Witch Trot? No, but I've been in 76 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,959 the band for about four years now. Oh okay, so but no, 77 00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:18,839 Matt's been. Matt's had this thing going since he was like god sixteen or 78 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:24,079 something. Yeah, okay, okay. And then how did the two of 79 00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:29,920 you meet and come to work together through the Stone Church? Yeah, it 80 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,160 was through a through a mutual acquaintance. The guitarist of a band I was 81 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,879 formerly in called Marvel Prone. Oh, Marvel Prone. Wait a minute, 82 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:41,560 have you been here before? I have not? You have? You have 83 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,040 not? They have? I left that band a year age ago. Okay, 84 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,600 I'm like, because you said that, I'm like, wait a minute, 85 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,879 have we have we met before? No? It's funny how you know 86 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,839 the scene, it's like this, it's a so many people move around in 87 00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:59,680 different bands. Okay, so you were in Marvel Prone. Interesting, I 88 00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:05,600 was in Marvel Prone, and I believe Rayner, the band leader of Marvel 89 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,959 Prone and Matt met each other at the Stone Church sometime and Matt mentioned that 90 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,639 he needed a drummer. So okay, put us in contact with each other. 91 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:20,279 Oh cool? Cool? And then so now what about so you had 92 00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:24,720 a bass player? Did you have a regular bass player before Megan or for 93 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,439 a while? Yeah, yep, okay, And then how long were they 94 00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:33,240 in the band? Two years? Two years? Yeah? So now do 95 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:35,759 so, but you guys do some shows where it's just the two of you 96 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,759 if Megan's not available or how does that work? I think we have done 97 00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:41,919 that before. Yeah, because I'm pretty sure, Like I said, I'm 98 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:43,799 pretty sure. I saw a YouTube video where it's just the two of you. 99 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,000 And I think somebody whoever posted it put in the description something about, 100 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,320 uh, even even without a bass player, these guys rock or something, 101 00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:54,799 or maybe it was one of the comments in the video. But I feel 102 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,759 like that happened once. It's kind of I feel like you could say, 103 00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:03,240 play with the bass player is is best practice? Yeah, but I think 104 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,879 once in a pinch, we did do it, just the two of us. 105 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,080 Yeah, yeah, I mean there's there's others that have that have done 106 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,360 it and and made it work, but yeah, there's there's nothing quite like 107 00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,039 having, you know, you want to have that bottom end if you know, 108 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:18,879 if you can, you know, like I saw Local h once in 109 00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:22,799 Boston years ago, and uh, but it's obvious, you know, it 110 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:26,120 was just the two guys, but it was obvious that I can't remember his 111 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,000 name for the life of me. The guitar player, you know that he 112 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,120 he had an effect that you know, gave him extra bottom end. And 113 00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:37,039 and I've I've I've seen bands do that, not very many, but now 114 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,799 so, so how long has the band been around total? Because because you 115 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,720 said you've been you've been doing it for it, But was there another drummer 116 00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:50,960 before Edward Yeah, there were some other projects a little different from witch Trot 117 00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:56,559 that I had started up, but witch Trot was fairly new when ED joined. 118 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,039 Okay maybe six months Okay, yeah, I didn't even know that. 119 00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:05,120 Yeah, yeah, so I had. It was it was pretty much similar 120 00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:09,159 genres, but just different band names. And but I I separate which struck 121 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,320 from that. Yeah, it's different. Yeah, Fredo is in the Facebook 122 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,919 live chat. Uh. Yeah, I was gonna say, you guys, 123 00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:22,080 bust Nolfredo everybody, all right. I do enjoy I do, oh absolutely 124 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,399 absolutely. Fredo has been on the show a number of times. I do 125 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,960 enjoy saying his full name when I see him in the chat room. Alfredo 126 00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:33,840 Enrique Benevitez. But yeah, Dank Sinatra, Cosmic Blossom, great great stuff, 127 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,679 you know, and he posts a lot of solo videos too. That 128 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,200 it's just such a such an enormously talented guy, really good on the show 129 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,240 too. We gotta get him, get him back on. Yeah, Ronda 130 00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:46,720 Favera, you know, when I was asking you about your vocal style, 131 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,279 Ronda from our friend from California, she said, kind of reminds her of 132 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,600 Nirvana, So that makes sense. Yeah, are you are you self taught 133 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,480 vocally or what about now? What about on guitar? You ever take lessons 134 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,399 or are you self taught? I haven't take lessons yet. I was self 135 00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:07,080 taught. Wow, yeah that always. That always impresses me. How about 136 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:13,320 you, Adward? On the drums, I had drum lessons for like two 137 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,759 years, like the first year I played, and then I went a few 138 00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,360 years without. Yeah, then I took lessons for another year. I've been 139 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,320 playing for like eleven years, so I had lessons for two of them. 140 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,039 Okay, okay. I like to think I'm pretty good at self teaching. 141 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,279 Yeah, like like actually working on things and not just screwing around. Right, 142 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:37,519 right, that's good. And are you in any other bands? Because 143 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,440 most drummers I meet are in like ten different bands because there's just not a 144 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,320 lot of drummers around. I've been there, homie. Yeah, I'm currently 145 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,919 in one other band, a metalcore band from Newmarket called Proelium. Actually, 146 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,840 the guitarist of Proelium, a dude named Darius, was the drummer of witch 147 00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:01,679 Trot before I was Oh no kidding, yeah, oh wow. It's all 148 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,200 so it's the music scene. It's like incestuous in a way. Yeah, 149 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,919 but not in that way, you know what I mean. I mean, 150 00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:15,600 we are in the Northeast after all, so but no, but yeah, 151 00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:20,279 so that's interesting. So the reason I say that is the reason I asked 152 00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:22,720 that is there's just been a trend where, like I have these bands on 153 00:12:22,759 --> 00:12:26,159 and everybody's drummer is in like multiple bands. And I have a theory about 154 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:30,759 that. I think it's because when you're growing up and you first start getting 155 00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:33,840 interested in playing a musical instrument, and you have to kind of have the 156 00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:35,080 talk with your parents like, hey, I want to take up an instrument. 157 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:41,240 If you express an interest in the drums, your parents are probably going 158 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,440 to try to talk you out of that and say, well, how about 159 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,679 guitar or something, you know, something where you're not going to be making 160 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:52,000 a lot of noise. So so what that ends up happening is you end 161 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,759 up with just not a lot of drummers around because you know, parents don't 162 00:12:56,759 --> 00:13:00,200 want their their kids growing up playing drums and making all that noise. My 163 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,240 theory anyway, bass players tend to be in high demand too, but I 164 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,159 think drummers especially. Yeah, I think your theory is pretty spot on for 165 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,679 drummers. I think for bass players. It's just because everybody wants to play 166 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,440 guitar. Guitarists get the glory. Yeah, yeah, you know most bands 167 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,159 have a guitarist playing bass really right. Well, it's funny because I so, 168 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,240 I'm a bass player, but I started out on guitar when I was 169 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,399 a kid. I took guitar lessons and never took a bass lesson. But 170 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:31,039 I took guitar lessons. But unfortunately, I was one of those kind of 171 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,600 lazy kids that if I wasn't good at something really fast, I would get 172 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:39,919 discouraged. And so I was getting discouraged with the guitar, and I wasn't 173 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,080 putting the work in to really practice it. And then when I was in 174 00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:46,440 high school, I picked up a bass, you know, just hanging out 175 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,639 with some friends playing music. And bass players hate when I say this, 176 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:52,320 but it's it's just the reality of it. I picked up a bass, 177 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,440 and I said, oh, too fewer strings and I don't have to learn 178 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,440 any chords. I think I found my instrum man and and but yeah, 179 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,200 I mean it worked out. I went on, you know, I played 180 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,559 in a bunch of bands and and uh so I did find my instrument, 181 00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:11,679 but it kind of sucks that it happened the way that it did because it 182 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,360 was out of my own laziness. But it's true though, And bass players 183 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,759 hate when I say that because it, you know, it makes it sound 184 00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:20,759 like, oh, the bass is easy and to play. It's not easy 185 00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:22,639 to play the bass really well. But if you just want to be you 186 00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:26,240 know what I always say. I was never good, but I was always 187 00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:31,240 good enough. And bass players being in not as high demand as drummers, 188 00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:33,200 but in sort of high demand, you know, you end up playing, 189 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,600 you can you can be just okay and end up in a bunch I was 190 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,440 in a bunch of different bands at once, actually, But but yeah, 191 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:43,639 drummers, I mean so many drummers who were just in just in tons of 192 00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:52,559 bands. Uh So maybe we should maybe we should talk about this more after 193 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,480 we play the single. But I don't want to forget to ask you this 194 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,399 in terms of influences that word I when I was listening to the you know, 195 00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:03,840 because Matt sent me the single earlier that we're going to play in a 196 00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:07,919 couple of minutes. Well, first of all, overall, I got kind 197 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:13,200 of a Sabbath vibe from it, and I definitely got a bill Ward vibe 198 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,679 from your drumming, and I'm curious is he an influence of yours or that's 199 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:24,279 a that's an interesting question. I think your your Phil's, your drum fills 200 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,440 remind me a lot of Bill Ward, and he's one of my favorites. 201 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,080 So it's you know, it's please take it as a compliment. Oh, 202 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:35,039 I absolutely do. I love Black Sabbath, Yeah, always have. I 203 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,639 don't consider Bill Ward specifically an influence, but I do consider that kind of 204 00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:46,480 music and Black Sabbath's contemporaries to be a great influence. Yeah, yeah, 205 00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:48,919 absolutely, Well what are tell me about? Who are some of your influences? 206 00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:54,519 Really? I'm just a sucker for all of the great prog rock drummers. 207 00:15:54,679 --> 00:16:00,840 Yeah, Neil Peart, Phil Collins, Uh, those are probably the 208 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:06,720 biggest two. Who else? I always my head always goes blank when people 209 00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:08,159 ask me things like that. Yeah, that's okay, that's all right. 210 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,399 It kind of puts it on the spot. Phil Collins is a surprise to 211 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:18,519 me though, because I don't know, I never really hear anyone say so 212 00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:22,279 is Phil Collins? I know this kind of an ongoing debate that I've seen 213 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,279 online in some forums. Is Phil Collins a great drummer. In your opinion, 214 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:33,159 Phil Collins is the man, no kidding, But you have to listen 215 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,039 to the early Genesis albums to figure it out. He also has other bands. 216 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,480 He has, like a jazz fusion band that I haven't listened too much 217 00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:44,279 from. Yeah, but honestly, if you like Bill Ward, yeah, 218 00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:48,759 you would probably dig Phil collins drumming on the early Genesis albums because that is 219 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:55,559 a very similar, loose, jazzy, feely style, if you know what 220 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,799 I mean. It's not rigid at all. He's very much just like sinking 221 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,679 in to the music. See that surprises me because I guess the more commercial 222 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,480 Genesis stuff that came out later, I feel like his drumming is very rigid. 223 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:14,160 But but I have but I have heard some early Genesis with when Peter 224 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,279 Gabriel was singing, and now that you mention it, yeah, his drumming 225 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,000 was different. I know what you mean. Yeah, I'll have to go 226 00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:25,559 back and listen to some of that. Yeah, you're getting some support on 227 00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:30,440 that in the chat room up. DJ Midas says Phil Collins is a phenomenal 228 00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:36,200 drummer. Malcolm Salz says any Genesis album he wasn't allowed to sing on was 229 00:17:36,279 --> 00:17:41,480 incredible. That's a great way of putting it. Although I love Phil's voice. 230 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,240 Phil's got a great voice. But I but I understand. I understand 231 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,279 what he means, because that makes sense if you're talking about the earlier stuff 232 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:52,079 before Phil took over on vocals, and Fredo says, uh, brand X. 233 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,759 Actually, let me read these in order. Fredo said Phil Collins was 234 00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:02,000 a masterful drummer. Check out his fusion band. His fusion band brand X. 235 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,519 Brand X is Phil Collins displaying his jazz prowess and crazy Prague chops. 236 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,519 Interesting. Interesting. Oh, and Malcolm had said earlier Phil Collins and early 237 00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:17,160 Genesis is some of the best Prague you will ever hear. Interesting. Yeah, 238 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,680 I'll have to I'll have to go back and give that another listen. 239 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:25,359 Okay, Yeah, it's coincidentally several months ago I happened to hear I cannot 240 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,519 even remember what album it's on. It was on one of their really commercially 241 00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:33,400 successful albums, Genesis, with Phil on lead vocals. But the song is 242 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,839 Domino. Did you know that song? I do not know that song. 243 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,079 Yeah, it's it's from It's It's again. It's from their really commercial period. 244 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,960 But but I just remember listening to that song and I'm listening to the 245 00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:52,759 drum track and I'm thinking, you know, this, this song would be 246 00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:56,559 so much better if the drums weren't so you know, they sound it sounded 247 00:18:56,599 --> 00:18:59,039 like programmed drums. I don't know if it was actually him playing or if 248 00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:02,319 it was all programmed, but I remember thinking, this song would be so 249 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,039 cool if you know, it was Phil Collins without drumming, without all the 250 00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:08,039 effects and everything. But it was, you know, it was like the 251 00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:11,279 mid nineteen eighties. You know, I lived through it. It was. 252 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,960 Everything was very sort of overproduced in that way. But I'll have to go 253 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:21,000 back and listen to some early Phil Collins or some early some more early Genesis, 254 00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:22,519 and I'll have to check out Brand I didn't even know about Brand X, 255 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:26,160 so that must have been the band he was in before Genesis maybe, 256 00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:30,200 or I don't really know. There might have been some overlap. Yeah, 257 00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:33,799 yeah, interesting, No, I'm very curious. Now, Now how about 258 00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:37,480 you? How about you, Matt in terms of influences, I mean, 259 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,960 we talked a little bit about your vocals, but how about guitar or just 260 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,240 the overall vibe? Like I said, I get a heavy Sabbath vibe from 261 00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:49,359 from Witch Trot. Yeah, I really like the Melvins. I can hear 262 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,039 it. Yeah, I like Wudini. That's probably my favorite from them. 263 00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:59,039 Stoner which is another one I really like. Of course, Nirvana and Utero 264 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,799 is one of my favorite albums. Yeah, and I love Black Sabbath as 265 00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:08,799 well. Sleep is a cool band. Electric Wizard a lot of that doomy 266 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,920 type rock and as well as the grunge stuff I've always been a fan of. 267 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,759 Yeah, yeah, Oh, Fredo in the chat Room says regarding Phil 268 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:23,839 Collins, he didn't need to, he didn't need to give us his all 269 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:30,640 on the Tarzan soundtrack, but he did. Yeah, when the Tarzan soundtrack, 270 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,519 I remember when that came out, and I remember kind of thinking, 271 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,759 yeah, he's definitely entered his Uh, he's moved from his rock face to 272 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,480 his adult contemporary face. Actually he had probably done that long before that. 273 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:47,119 But yeah, I understood. He can't even he can't even really it's hard 274 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,960 for him to stand up now. Phil Collins, like you see you see 275 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,920 any videos from that last from the Genesis Farewell tour, It's kind of it's 276 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,039 kind of heartbreaking. Feel bad for him, you know, although miraculously his 277 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,079 voice is still sounds pretty good. Oh, his voice is great. Yeah, 278 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,400 absolutely, Yeah, it's just a poor guy. He can't it's hard 279 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,240 for him to move around. And you know, but drums is such a 280 00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:14,359 physical instrument too that you know, if there's anything you're going to get injured 281 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,160 playing, it's that. I suppose. Well, we should get to this 282 00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:22,720 track since we've been talking about how you guys sound. Now again, is 283 00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:26,359 this no no Mos Thomas? Is that how you pronounce it? Yes? 284 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,960 Okay, Now what does that mean? No more Thomas? So I have 285 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,680 a friend named Thomas, and he's I can tell it's this will be a 286 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:44,680 good story by Edwards reaction. Well, he he's very unpredictable and like he's 287 00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:52,319 always he always does very like wild things, like I've always and like he's 288 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,240 younger than me, so I've always kind of been like I've acted like the 289 00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:57,519 older brother in some ways. I'm always like Thomas, no, don't do 290 00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:03,799 that, especially in public, or he's gonna watch this and be like right. 291 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:10,559 But yeah, so yeah, that's that's why I called it no More 292 00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:12,480 Thomas. And I've told him that and he thinks it's pretty cool. That's 293 00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:15,799 cool. I thought maybe it was Latin or something that I saw it. 294 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,759 Very cool. All right, let's give this a listen. Where was this 295 00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:23,039 recorded, by the way, Alfa Omega Studios. And where is that that's 296 00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:30,200 in Massachusetts? Some town in Massachusetts I've never heard of before. Okay, 297 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,400 all right, cool, let's give this a listen and then we'll come back 298 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,200 and we'll talk some more with these guys. Check this out.

That is the world radio premiere of that track. And 307 00:27:56,759 --> 00:28:00,160 I love it. You know what's cool? Is it? Kind of the 308 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,440 song fools you. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's made this observation, 309 00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:06,480 but when I was listening to it for the first time, I was 310 00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:11,119 like, Oh, it's an instrumental, and then the vocal finally shows up, 311 00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:14,839 but it's so far into the song, but it's like a cool surprise 312 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,240 when the vocal comes in. I was like, Oh, it's not an 313 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,880 instrumental. I like that. Like, did you do that intentionally or is 314 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,160 that just kind of how the song developed? That was actually done intentionally. 315 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:32,240 A lot of the stoner rock doomy stuff band Sleep does that a lot. 316 00:28:32,319 --> 00:28:37,440 They'll have a lot of instrumentals and then they'll sing, and then they'll stop 317 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,000 and do a lot of long instrumentals and then continue back into singing. Yeah, 318 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,599 yeah, no, I like that. It's cool. It's kind of 319 00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:48,720 a cool twist. Yeah. Fredo in the chat room says long intro. 320 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:56,000 Fredo also said too earlier, you know, the Melvins came up as an 321 00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:59,960 influence, and Fredo said, up, Melvins are one of the most influential 322 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,160 badass bands ever. They did more for grunge, sludge and underground music in 323 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,839 general than any of their contemporaries. Yeah, definitely, the Melvin's very, 324 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:14,519 very influential but kind of unsung heroes, and you know, one of those 325 00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:19,559 bands that you know, musicians know the Melvins, but non musicians never even 326 00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:25,000 heard of them. This is one of those kinds of bands. Yeah, 327 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000 so we've got the guys here from witch Trot. By the way, so 328 00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:30,640 where does the name come from? Witch Trot? I assume you came up 329 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,039 with that, Matt, because you're the like the original, the founding member. 330 00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:38,920 Yeah. Yeah, Well there's several witch Trot roads in Maine. I 331 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,759 noticed that. I noticed that when I googled you guys, and I was 332 00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:45,720 like, oh, this is a common thing in Maine. Yeah. Yeah, 333 00:29:45,759 --> 00:29:51,880 And well the name came about was Maine was part of Massachusetts during the 334 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,240 Salem Witch Trials, and they brought down a preacher or parson from Maine, 335 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,559 and the road is called witch Trot Road. That was trotting down, which 336 00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:07,720 which is on horseback. They would commonly do that and and pick that name 337 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:15,759 because it was it signified like judgment and symbolized the road to judgment when those 338 00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:18,960 witches were crossing over. Yeah, yeah, I thought that was cool. 339 00:30:19,079 --> 00:30:22,640 Yeah, no, it's a cool name. Now, how many songs have 340 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:26,440 you Is this the only Is this the first song that you've done in that 341 00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:30,759 studio in North Reading or do you have others that you're working on or we 342 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:37,440 would like to go back soon. We have two other ones I played. 343 00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:40,640 Parallax was one of them, and I played the acoustic version of that. 344 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,480 Yeah, we have a song called Hello Dmitri that that's also was recorded at 345 00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:48,920 Alpha Omega. Oh okay, Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna sorry, we're 346 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,680 going to release those hopefully tonight or tomorrow. Oh okay, yeah, oh 347 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,480 okay, Yeah, I'd love to hear Hello Dmitri. So that'll be so 348 00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:57,720 at some point this weekend, that'll be available, yes, online. Very 349 00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:02,200 cool, Very cool. And what's the writing process like, do you guys 350 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,400 write together or do you come up with the ideas initially and then bring them 351 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,640 netword or how does that work? It's sort of they always originate with Matt. 352 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:18,079 You know, I like to consider myself a valuable part of the band, 353 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:23,000 but it's always been Matt's songs that we're playing. Yeah. He sometimes 354 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:29,640 he comes at me or me and whoever former basis was in the band at 355 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,519 the time with a completed idea, but usually it's just like, you know, 356 00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:37,240 an intro of verse and a chorus and we jam on it. For 357 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:44,759 a while, someone might make a few suggestions. They come together very organically 358 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000 and as a consequence, somewhat inefficiently. Sometimes it kind of takes a while 359 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,920 for them to reach their final form. Really, yeah, like how long, 360 00:31:55,119 --> 00:31:57,240 like, uh to develop a song does it take? Does it take 361 00:31:57,319 --> 00:32:04,039 days? Weeks? A couple practices? Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah 362 00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:07,960 yeah, Because Edward, what what you're doing on the drums that that that 363 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,039 winds up becoming you know, even if the idea doesn't start with you, 364 00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:14,920 I mean you you are really kind of contributing to how the song forms because 365 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:20,519 your drum patterns are complex and you know it's it's not it's not like you 366 00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:22,440 know, you're not the guy from ac DC sitting over there. You're actually 367 00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:25,440 really you know, not nothing against a c DC, but you're really you 368 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,559 know, you're really helping to form and shape that song with what you're doing 369 00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:32,240 on the drums. Yeah, so I sceer them, you could say. 370 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,960 Sometimes sometimes it's something as simple as like a bro, what if we like 371 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:44,720 this right? But as being humble, But like for especially Nomas Tomas, 372 00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:46,839 that song, the breakdown at the end, that wouldn't have happened, you 373 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,920 know, without the drums. A lot of the drum Definitely, the drums 374 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,799 carry like all the songs. Yeah, it's just you know, I have 375 00:32:55,839 --> 00:33:00,960 a rough draft really and then it forms something. Yeah, I wouldn't have 376 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:07,119 expected right right now now in studio. Now, who's playing bass in studio? 377 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,279 Are you doing that yourself? Or is Megan doing that? Or who's 378 00:33:09,839 --> 00:33:14,440 our friend? Tony Woodman played bass on that actually? Oh okay, Yeah, 379 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,119 he has a band, Black head Dress. I drummed for for that 380 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:21,039 band and he helped us out a lot. See. Now that's a twist 381 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,759 on this whole drummer thing. So there's this other band that you play drums 382 00:33:24,759 --> 00:33:35,119 in. See is it? What's your first instrument? Is drums your first 383 00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:37,839 instrument? Or or is a guitar? It was? It was drums was 384 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:44,920 the first thing I learned. I gradually went to guitar and I've been playing 385 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,960 that. That's kind of like my main instrument. Oh I gotcha, I 386 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,759 got you a Black head Dress. That's the other band. Yeah, it's 387 00:33:51,759 --> 00:33:54,359 a cool name. From around here? Is is everybody from around here? 388 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:02,599 Yeah? There, Tony's from and then Josh is from he's the guitarist and 389 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:07,800 the band he's from Alfred and then so it's kind of kind of all over 390 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:14,199 the place. Alfred, where's that It's it's in New Hampshire or no, 391 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,320 sorry, Maine, it's in Maine. Oh, it's in Maine. Yeah. 392 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:20,199 And I know Sandford's in Maine. Yes. Yeah. The only reason 393 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,519 I know that is because that's where I almost round when I was a kid. 394 00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:27,800 My dad had to save me. So the Sandford, Maine is uh 395 00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:31,199 is forever etched in my brain. So you're now you live here now, 396 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,559 but you're from Maine originally? Is that York Maine? You're from York. 397 00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:37,880 Okay, that's a nice area. Yeah. Now about you, Edward, 398 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,480 Do you live in the area here or or do you have a commute? 399 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:45,079 I live in Rochester currently. Okay. I grew up in Portsmouth. That's 400 00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:47,519 where I was living when I joined the band. Oh okay, yeah yeah, 401 00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:51,920 So you guys got a little bit of a commute between you. It's 402 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,400 half an hour. It's not bad, it's not bad. Yeah. Yeah. 403 00:34:53,519 --> 00:34:55,519 Now are you playing a lot of shows? Do you play a lot 404 00:34:55,559 --> 00:35:00,000 of shows or are you focused on recording or I have a couple of shows 405 00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:01,599 coming up. We have a house party on the twenty eighth, and then 406 00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:06,239 we're playing at the Stone Church on Halloween. Oh, very cool. Yeah, 407 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:12,440 we're playing. We're playing with Proelium, they're headlining. Yeah. Yeah, 408 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,239 it's gonna be Prollium headlining witch Trot before them, and then a band 409 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,199 called green Eye before witch Trot. Yeah. And does one of you play 410 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:30,360 drums and green Eyes? No, we've reached the limit. Okay, understood. 411 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaking of drums, I wanted to mention something. Yeah, a lot 412 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,519 of the older Witch Trot songs, like from when I first joined the band, 413 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:46,840 I actually learned from demos that Matt posted on YouTube again when he was 414 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,360 like when he was like seventeen or so, and on all those demos he's 415 00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:55,719 playing drums. Oh wow, So the way I played drums in the band 416 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:06,880 was influenced by what Matt played oh way back in the day. Interesting, 417 00:36:07,159 --> 00:36:09,719 So it kind of like it's sort of like a it comes full circle. 418 00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:15,639 Yeah, so you you committed to learning, but do you play the parts 419 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:21,199 now the same as when Matt put them in those demos originally? Or do 420 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,800 you or do you even still play those songs because obviously those songs go backways, 421 00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:30,199 some of them we do it kind of it depends on the songs. 422 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:35,519 Sometimes. I sometimes I liked what he played and and I would more or 423 00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:38,960 less stick to that and if anything changed, it would again change like subconsciously 424 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,400 and organically over time. Yeah. Other other things, it was more of 425 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,039 a like, hey, I have an idea for how else this could be 426 00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:52,159 done? Right? Yeah, makes sense. But I definitely think, even 427 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:59,320 even if the parts themselves have changed, the way Matt plays drums influenced how 428 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,440 I choose to play drums in the band. Now, okay, okay, 429 00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:13,000 interesting, So are your styles now today on drums somewhat different then or or 430 00:37:13,039 --> 00:37:15,519 are they similar very much? So we're completely different drummers? Really? Yeah? 431 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,480 Yeah, in in one way, I mean, because I kind of 432 00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:22,280 have a vibe of how you play obviously from listening to that track, But 433 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:29,760 like, what, how how are your drums different, Matt? If it's 434 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,400 something you can put into words, maybe it's not the easiest thing to verbalize, 435 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,320 but I'm curious now. Uh. Well, with Black Head Dress, 436 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:43,639 a lot of the songs are kind of tribal, like, lot of a 437 00:37:43,639 --> 00:37:50,280 lot of toms. It's pretty heavy on that rather than a lot of a 438 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:55,039 lot of crashes or fills or it's just kind of sets the tone for because 439 00:37:55,079 --> 00:38:00,440 I follow, Like with Black head Dress, I follow Tony and John quite 440 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,119 a bit. I just go back and forth, and they're really the ones 441 00:38:02,159 --> 00:38:07,599 who are setting up the structure and IM and I'm yeah, it's just kind 442 00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:10,800 of tribal like, I mean, that's kind of how the songs felt. 443 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:16,519 Yeah, no, that makes sense. Yeah. I was actually just looking 444 00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:22,320 up Black head Dress online and maybe we'll maybe to end the show, we'll 445 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:30,320 play Do these have swears in them? Honestly, it depends on the song 446 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,079 like Disconnected that shows up on the website. Do you know? If you 447 00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:37,320 don't know, we just won't risk it. But I was just thinking if 448 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,719 if you did know, we could play something, because I'm curious to hear 449 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,000 hear it now, But if not, I'll just wait till later and we 450 00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:47,239 won't risk it. I can't remember, honestly. Yeah, No, that's 451 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,880 fine. That's all good. By the way, Melanie in the chat room 452 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:59,400 says high five for not being a part of Massachusetts anymore. Now, if 453 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,800 you guys, obviously you you play shows around here. Have you have you 454 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:07,239 toured anywhere outside of the area. No, we've never been on tour. 455 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,559 Okay, We've played mass a little bit, New Hampshire, a little bit, 456 00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:14,159 Maine a little bit. Yeah, but I think that's it. Okay, 457 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,400 yeah, okay. And are there are there any other bands in the 458 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,320 area that you kind of team up with? You know, I mean it 459 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,239 tends to happen organically, kind of by accident, you know, bands will 460 00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:25,679 have other bands that they wind up playing a lot of shows with. Did 461 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,559 you have anybody in the area like that? Oh? Yeah, well Wired 462 00:39:30,599 --> 00:39:35,079 for Sound Yeah, yeah. I played with Marvel Prone a few times back 463 00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:38,679 when I was in that band, played a few shows with Preellium. We're 464 00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:45,880 about to play another show with Proelium. Yeah. Who else? Who are 465 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,559 like some of the Charlie's Hill bands We played with Sauce on the side I 466 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,639 was one. Oh we had them on the show. Yeah, yeah, 467 00:39:52,679 --> 00:39:57,800 they're they're fantastic, Yeah they are. Yeah, they're great. Able Blood 468 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,280 of course, able Blood, love able Blood. We had them on the 469 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:05,559 show. We have sophisticated adult martial law. And there's a lot of I 470 00:40:05,679 --> 00:40:09,679 found that in the more of the Seacoast area. There's a lot of more 471 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:15,440 metal type bands, hard rock band, yeah, like metal core type bands. 472 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,400 Yeah. And yeah, so we kind of get placed in in those 473 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,639 types of shows, which is a lot of fun, a lot of the 474 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,119 mosh pits and whatnot. Yeah, no, no doubt, no doubt. 475 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,519 And uh so this h this weekend is a Stone Church? Is that this 476 00:40:30,559 --> 00:40:34,239 weekend or next weekend? That's Halloween Night? Halloween Night. Yeah, that's 477 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,440 very cool. That's a good that's really good. I haven't been to the 478 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,480 Stone Church in forever, but that's a really nice that's a nice place to 479 00:40:39,519 --> 00:40:45,280 play. They're actually a not normally open on Tuesdays, but Halloween is a 480 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,800 Tuesday this year.
