1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,680 And we have a great musical guest with us here. Wired for Sound is 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,080 in the studio. Welcome everybody. How you doing good? Good? Let's 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,919 see we will start. Let's start with you at the news desk if you 4 00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:15,119 want to tell us who you are and what you do in the band. 5 00:00:15,439 --> 00:00:21,920 Him. My name's Jessica, and I play guitar and I'm a lead vocalist, 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,800 all right. And on the couch, I'm Megan. I played bass 7 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,079 guitar and I sing backup vocals. Okay, my name is Joe, and 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,039 I am the drummer. All right, no vocals for you. Nope, 9 00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:37,600 I used to, and then Megan joined the band, so now she took 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,039 all my vocals away. Yeah. Now I understand, by the way, 11 00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:44,960 the reason I chose that track tell me that's I think that's my favorite. 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320 I really like all the songs, but I think that's my favorite of what 13 00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:52,000 you sent me. It's really good. I find myself kind of the drum 14 00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:56,439 part. I'm not a drummer, but I find myself tapping along really really 15 00:00:56,479 --> 00:01:00,200 good stuff. And I don't know if you all know this, but you've 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,799 come up. Your name has come up on the show before, because um, 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,159 it was a number of weeks ago, I had a Fredo and Axel 18 00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:11,560 from Dank Sinatra We're on the show. Yeah yeah, And and Axel on 19 00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:15,400 the show, he was wearing a Wired for Sound shirt. Somebody, you 20 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:17,799 know, because the show's also on Facebook, somebody was asking, you know 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,120 what what that was, and um, I was not aware of you guys 22 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,079 yet, and uh so Fredo's like, that's Wired for Sound man, and 23 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,560 Axel's like, yeah, yeah, wired for Sound. So, uh they 24 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,959 told us about you, and so I think that's I think when Jenny booked 25 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,920 you for for Today, I think that's where we first learned of you. 26 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,400 Was was from those guys. Um so um great stuff. I mean, 27 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,480 it's it's kind of punk, but it's also I think it's got a little 28 00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:49,599 bit of a grunge vibe. You know. The guitars are nice and heavy, 29 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,560 which I like, you know, um, sometimes with a lot of 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,000 punk bands, the guitars aren't, you know. I mean, I like 31 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,400 loud guitars, you know, I like, uh, I like when when 32 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,040 it's when the guitars are up from but also, you know, this kind 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,159 of a little bit of a nineties grunge vibe too, and uh no, 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,000 really really great. And Joe you were saying offer, you were telling me 35 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:13,080 that you record did everything that you sent? Was it all recorded in in 36 00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:15,719 your living room? Yeah? I do all the engineering and we do all 37 00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:20,000 the all the track recording in the living room, and then we send it 38 00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:22,520 off to a friend of ours, Corey Holiday, and he does the mix 39 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,479 and master. Okay, have you've done it that way from the beginning with 40 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,080 this band, not from the very beginning, but very close, you know, 41 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,560 only we only tried one album in a studio and it really didn't work 42 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,199 out because the found in studios, the engineer in the studio wants to put 43 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,759 his information in and because it's his studio, it's hard to say no. 44 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,719 So we made our own studio. What do you mean, like the engineer 45 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,280 was trying to, Well, they have their opinions and they want to do 46 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,719 like they pushed auto tune on Jess, and Jess does not want her voice 47 00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:55,520 auto tune. We said at the beginning no, And at the end of 48 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,319 it, he was like, oh, well, you know, you really 49 00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:01,000 should use auto tune. It's a lot of easier and you know, basically 50 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,639 wasn't giving us it. Told us we had to use it. And it's 51 00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:07,120 it's something we're very against auto tuning Jess's voice because she doesn't really need it, 52 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,759 you know. Yeah, yeah, well i'd be weird too anyway for 53 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:15,439 what you're doing. You know. That is why you cannot find that album 54 00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:22,199 online anywhere, because we erased it in CD form in their living room. 55 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,400 But that's it. Yeah yeah, and I think you took the last copy, 56 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,879 so it's basically non existent. Really yeah? Did it? Did it 57 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,800 sound really strange? Yeah? It was horrible, horrible that it was just 58 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,680 one of those as soon as you hear the first part of the first song. 59 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,479 You know, it's a local band, and you know, I like 60 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,759 to have I don't like like that because it's not full enough, you know 61 00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,240 what I mean, Like I just I like little bund Yeah yeah, yeah, 62 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,280 yeah. You don't want it to sound like a demo. You want 63 00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:53,599 it to sound exactly. Yeah. Um, did did those songs? Do 64 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,199 those songs live on from that album? Do you still or or did you 65 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:00,800 end up just nope, We don't play any of those songs any longer. 66 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:04,120 Wow, yeah, we kind of It's like, um, it was like 67 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:10,599 our freshman you know, we first formed with those songs, so it was 68 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:17,160 very you know, um it seemed uh not as we hadn't really found ourselves. 69 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,399 Yeah, you know, a lot of experimentation. Yeah, yeah, 70 00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:26,399 so we kind of outgrew it. Yeah, you know, and our stuff 71 00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:29,199 now is a lot better. Okay, yeah, what about it? I 72 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,959 mean in terms of the vibe and the style of the music. Did that 73 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,720 did that also change or did the songs just get better? The song's got 74 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:41,800 better? Yeah, and um, you know, I different different instruments and 75 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,720 um like types of equipment, you know, pedals, you know, as 76 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,560 far as that sound, yeah, it changed. But also we grew um 77 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,639 stronger together playing and rehearsing. Yeah. So yeah, just finding our you 78 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,639 know, our own sound. And okay, has it always been the three 79 00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:05,399 of you? No, No, I'm pretty new. Actually I joined about 80 00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:10,680 a year and a half ago. Okay, okay, Um, were you 81 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,040 in a band before? Yeah, I've been in a few bands, and 82 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,079 that's actually how I first met Joe and Jess. Okay, I think both 83 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,920 the bands I was in at the time, I think would play with with 84 00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:25,959 you guys. So then I met them and I knew them casually, and 85 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,360 then when their bassists left, they wanted They asked me if I would come 86 00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:33,000 jam, okay, and I said I would, And here we are. 87 00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:38,000 What band were you in before our bands? Because what went? It's funny 88 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,399 when you walked in. There's something familiar about you. I've I've seen you 89 00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:44,720 in some somewhere. Yeah. I was in the band Marvel Prone for about 90 00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:47,360 four years. Oh we wait? Were you here? Did I interview you? 91 00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:51,240 No? Okay, okay, because I I had Marvel Prone on the 92 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,600 show. But okay, I might have, but I might have seen you 93 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,839 online with them in a in a picture of something. Okay, yeah, 94 00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:00,839 that might be where I know you're from. Four years. Wow. Yeah, 95 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,000 no, it was a really long time. It was about time. 96 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:09,199 I was about twenty yeah, until I'm twenty five now and round a year 97 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,600 ago, maybe a little under a year ago, so it was a long 98 00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:15,000 time. Yeah yeah wow. So what happened to the previous bass player? 99 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,639 He quit? Just quit? Yeah. Yeah. We had some health issues 100 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,600 and oh you know that's that's not fun. Yeah. Yeah, it was 101 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:27,839 sad to see him go. You know, he was with us for four 102 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,000 years. Oh wow. Okay, So it was me and Jess. We 103 00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:34,279 met in another band and um, we didn't like the direction that the band 104 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:40,160 that we met and was going so we branched off from that and made Wired 105 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:44,240 for Sound. Oh okay, and then we picked up like six months later, 106 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,120 we picked up Justin, who was our old Bassis. He had just 107 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,519 quit his band and we'd seen him play a couple of times and we said, 108 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,879 hey, you're a good Bassis. It's a shame you're in another band. 109 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,199 And he says, well, actually I'm not anymore. And so he 110 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,680 started playing with us, and he was with us for four years. He 111 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,720 booked all our shows, he did all our social media. Yeah, he 112 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,240 was a big part of the band and um, and then it just got 113 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,920 to the point where it just our our level of commitment wasn't for him anymore 114 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,199 and um, and he said I'm done. Yeah yeah, yeah, um 115 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,360 wow. So now do you play out a lot every weekend? Yeah? 116 00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:24,759 Yeah, that's good. That's good. And it's probably with a three piece, 117 00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:28,160 it's it's probably a little easier. Like I've been in bands where you 118 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,720 know, it's like four or five people, and sometimes it's hard when you're 119 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,519 trying to play out a lot and you've got to work around everybody's schedule. 120 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,879 But obviously a smaller band, you know, with just three of you. 121 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,839 It's probably not not as difficult I would imagine. So you're able to play 122 00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:43,959 out play out a lot. Yeah, Um, that's good. Um do 123 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,399 you I mean busy summer, then I would assume some are some are the 124 00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:50,079 busiest time as far as live shows. Yeah, yeah, i'd say so 125 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:56,959 for sure. We've Yeah, we've been playing like almost every weekend. That's 126 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,560 excellent. Yeah, we're books straight through until September. Yeah. Wow, 127 00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:05,519 Yeah, very cool. Are there other bands in the area that you kind 128 00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:07,480 of team up with? You know, sometimes bands find other bands that they 129 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,079 play a lot of shows with, and Um, we go through little spurts 130 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,199 with certain bands, like we'll play like like I think we've got like two 131 00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:18,639 or three shows coming up with Thanks and Now. Yeah, we've played We've 132 00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:20,560 played with them a few other times too, so I think they definitely are 133 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,240 one Thanks and Natra. We're playing with Johnny Earthquake for a while. We 134 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,920 had a lot of a pretty good stretch of shows where we were playing with 135 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,199 him. Yep, twenty five cent Habit. Yeah, we played with them 136 00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:35,600 a few times. Um, Max Boris we play with a lot. Yeah, 137 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:41,080 they're out he's out of Boston. Okay, cool, cool. Um 138 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,919 do you have I mean, how long a set do you do? Because 139 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,039 obviously, you know, the band has been around for a while. I 140 00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:48,960 mean not you know, not necessarily this lineup, but the band's been around 141 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,759 for a while. Do you have a lot of a lot of tunes? 142 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,360 We have like forty really wow. So we have two big pieces of post 143 00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:00,159 aboard up on our wall, and we have all our songs listed. Some 144 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,360 of them, like you know, the first ones we wrote we don't play 145 00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:05,120 anymore, but they're still up there. And um, you know it's like 146 00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:07,720 we play a standard forty five minutes set on shows. Yeah, but it's 147 00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:11,799 never enough because we never get to play all the songs. Yeah, when 148 00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:16,200 we practice, we practice like a lot of our songs, but they don't 149 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,240 always make They never all make the set ever, right, right. It's 150 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,200 a good problem to have in a way, though, to have so much 151 00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:26,000 music. You know. That's uh, that's really good. I would say 152 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,159 confidently we could cover a three hour set, no kidding, yeah, wow, 153 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,360 with with all originals. Oh yeah, that's that's really good. That's 154 00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:37,200 really good. Um. Yeah, I noticed too some of your songs, 155 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,080 I mean some of them are at least a couple of them that we have 156 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,879 here are are approaching five minutes, you know, between four and a half 157 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,440 to five minutes, which is kind of unusual for a band in your genre. 158 00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:48,679 You know, the songs tend to be shorter. I mean, have 159 00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:54,559 you always had songs that are are more than four minutes or it seems like 160 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,360 that's our kind that's our time for yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's like 161 00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:01,879 not even on purpose. It was for me when we first started recording, 162 00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:03,720 like I'm looking at the mixing board and our songs are this long. I 163 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,840 mean it doesn't feel like it's that long, but yeah, when we started 164 00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:11,000 recording, we realized like our songs are generally over four minutes. Yeah, 165 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,039 like that. We have a few that are like three minutes, um, 166 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,080 and it just seems like it's not long enough. It's like, wow, 167 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:24,080 that was fast. Yeah yeah, no, that's interesting. Um And like 168 00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:26,120 I said, for the genre that you're working in, it's unusual, which 169 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,320 you know, it kind of helps you stand out in a way. So 170 00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,759 that's that's cool. Now do you get out of as far as shows you 171 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,720 you get out of New Hampshire a lot. You you play in Boston or 172 00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:39,279 where we play in Boston quite often you're playing Boston Saturday. Yeah, excellent, 173 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,879 Oh, no, getting very cool, that's awesome. Yeah. We 174 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,559 play in Maine a lot. Um, yeah, so main Maine, New 175 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,639 Hampshire and mass Yeah, generally where and we want to get outside of there, 176 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,519 but you know, with our jobs in our lives, just trying to 177 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,120 find two weeks where we can just go across the country and play different clubs. 178 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,279 It is rather tummy. Yeah, coming, we'd like to go to 179 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,080 the West Coast and see how we fare out there, see what they think 180 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,159 about Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Well let's uh, let's play 181 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,879 another track. Um uh, but I'll let you I'll let you pick what 182 00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:18,279 what what should uh? What should we play? What do you guys think? 183 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:22,039 Well, off of Choke, this is our our album called our EP 184 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:28,399 called Choke. Okay, these are all from that.

Um 186 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,080 and I think this is one of the longer ones too, if I remember 187 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,639 correctly, so I think it is, yeah, which is cool? Yeah, 188 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,200 all right, very cool. So this is uh, this is Wicked. 189 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,679 We have the band Wired for Sound with us alive in studio.

Hey, why don't you come closer? You know I 197 00:13:50,679 --> 00:14:07,639 really like yourtas. Don't think it just got to feel like hell. I 198 00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:24,120 need to chant your laugh. You take a broad bad you make my heart 199 00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:46,240 beat. You don't have to be scar This doesn't have to be just stop 200 00:14:48,080 --> 00:15:56,879 hearing in my mind. Man, this doesn't have to be love. I 201 00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:02,360 love the ending of that. It's really well done with that's really cool. 202 00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:04,720 That is wicked. The band is wired for sound and we have Jess, 203 00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:10,200 Megan and Joe all hear it with us in studio and what a great track. 204 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,600 And you know, listening to that, it's um. It's I mean, 205 00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:18,039 you guys call yourselves as far as genre, you call yourselves punk, 206 00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:25,799 right, yeah, okay, because I feel like it's um Yeah, it's 207 00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:30,799 it's pretty sophisticated. It's um. You know, when you first listen to 208 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,639 it, it sounds it sounds simple, It kind of sounds like it might 209 00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:37,799 be a three chord thing. But then you get into the song and you 210 00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:45,000 realize, I mean, especially during that solo, you know, your bassline 211 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,039 really comes through because there's only you know, it's it's not like you've got 212 00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:52,799 multiple guitars going right, so you can really hear your bass, which is 213 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,759 a really sophisticated bass line. Thank you, and and Jess, your solo 214 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,840 is really good, so you know, obviously you can really play, you 215 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,399 know, it's not like it's not like musicians who were just kind of winging 216 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,640 it, like you know, you know what. So there's a sophistication there. 217 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,079 And and the double bass you don't usually hear that in punk or grune, 218 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,720 so that really elevates it too. That's unusual, and that gives it 219 00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:21,000 a little extra heavy and that's really good. And that ending with what you 220 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:22,319 do at the end, at the ending of that song with the drums, 221 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:26,720 it's just amazing. So it's really kind of um, it's uh, you 222 00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:27,720 know what, you know, if you want to call it punk or grunge 223 00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:32,880 or whatever it's it's yeah, that's where you'd put it, but but it's 224 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,480 more sophisticated than that, and I think I think that's what makes it so 225 00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:41,079 good. That's that's just my sort of my music critic. Well, thank 226 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,759 you assessment of it. Yeah, no, really, I mean the songs 227 00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:48,359 are really good. Did you did you do double bass from the beginning in 228 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,279 this band or is that something where you just kind of started to bring that 229 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,400 in. No, I've always played the double kick pedal. Yeah. It 230 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,640 was one of those things where it was like when I started playing with Jess, 231 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,079 she wasn't real big fan it first. Really, yea double bass is 232 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,559 part of me, and if you want me as your drummer, double bass 233 00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:07,559 will exist. Yeah yeah, you know you had to be talked into it, 234 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,480 Yess. Yeah for sure. Um, I just I just was aiming 235 00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:17,079 toward more of the punk grunge. Yeah, and I'm not necessarily metal, 236 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,200 right right, So, I mean wind first sound is like a sprinkle of 237 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,880 each of our yeah tastes. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm more than nineties 238 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:32,160 grunge type and Joe's more metal. Yeah, so I'm literally right in between. 239 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,839 Yeah, I'm big into metal I always have been. But I'm also 240 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,079 really big on nineties music, yeah, grudge music. So yeah, it's 241 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,720 like a nice happy medium. I feel like I'm sort of like both yep. 242 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,279 So like we just compromised, like, yeah, all right, so 243 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,599 maybe not through the whole song, right, let's not ruin it. Well 244 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,640 that's true. I mean it's tasteful, you're you're restrained with it. It's 245 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,200 not like you're yeah, you're not pounding the double bass the whole time. 246 00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:00,960 So it's yeah, yeah, so that works. That was part of the 247 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,559 trick was getting it to be where it wasn't overwhelming the song, right. 248 00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:10,160 Yeah. So now I find myself saying double bass would sound really good. 249 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,759 So it's kind of become our thing. Yeah, yeah, that's cool, 250 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,759 I'm sure, and I'm sure other people notice too, Like when you're playing 251 00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:19,279 films with other bands. I'm sure I'm sure people come up and say, 252 00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:22,960 wow, that's unusual. But but it works. It works, It works 253 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,680 really well. What about the songwriting, do you all write together or it 254 00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,599 just does a lot? It just like gives us a show and then we 255 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:34,119 we kind of we do our best at it. But most of the writing 256 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,799 that's really where it's at yeah, yeah, including lyrics. Did you write 257 00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:42,680 all the lyrics? Yeah? Is there any kind of a theme or are 258 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,839 there are there certain common themes that come up a lot? Or what's your 259 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:52,240 approach to the lyrics? Um? I mostly write about um, you know, 260 00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:56,960 personal experiences, UM, whatever I'm going through at the moment at that 261 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,200 time. Yeah, you know, um, you know yeah, Yeah, 262 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,240 I grew up a little rough, so did you. Yeah, so a 263 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,720 lot of it has some of that in there too. Yeah. Yeah. 264 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:15,079 Is I assume the band is a great way to, you know, if 265 00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:18,440 you had a rough upbringing um to kind of is it like therapy in a 266 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,279 way, because because I always say, you know, anything that you whether 267 00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:25,599 it's a rough childhood or whatever it is that you're going through in life, 268 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,279 anything anything negative that's challenging, you know, the best way to deal with 269 00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:32,599 it is to do something positive with it by creating something. And I think 270 00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:34,119 that's what draws most people to art, whatever kind of art it is, 271 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,640 whether it's music or painting or whatever it is. You know, it's it's 272 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:41,960 a way to to take things that you've experienced that might drag you down, 273 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,119 but you don't let them drag you down. Instead you create. Yes, 274 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:51,119 yeah, I mean a lot of you know, different problems I've had. 275 00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:55,119 You know, music has been my way of getting through it. Yeah, 276 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,880 yeah, for sure, Yeah, no doubt. Um. And so the 277 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,160 EP is called show. Yeah is this is this your first? Um? 278 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,720 Oh no, you did the the Well there's the original album right that that 279 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:12,640 we don't there's Catharsis is also on um, on iTunes and okay, Spotify 280 00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:15,920 and it's everywhere. It's wired for Sound New Hampshire. Is how you access 281 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,880 it? Okay? Or Whired for Sound any h? I'm sorry? And 282 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,640 is that a full length or is that? Well? Okay, So Catharsis 283 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:30,079 we did with justin our last bass player okay, yeah. Um. Originally 284 00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:36,480 that EP came about because we signed up for the RPM Challenge. Ah, 285 00:21:36,559 --> 00:21:38,319 yes, I've I've had a lot of guests on the show. We've done 286 00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:42,960 that. Yeah yeah, we didn't actually complete it in time. So um, 287 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,640 as a result of us writing so hard to try to do that, 288 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,599 Catharsis was born. Oh no kidding, Oh that's cool. That's cool. 289 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,880 Um. And why what goes into the decision to do EPs? Because you 290 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,559 know, we live in a time where you've got so many different is because 291 00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,200 of the Internet. Like when I was growing up, it was, you 292 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,720 know, most artists, you know, they release an album or an EP, 293 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,599 but usually a full album. EPs were kind of rare, you know, 294 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,880 release an album and then go on tour and then release another album eventually 295 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,920 and go on tour. It. Now you've got because of the Internet, 296 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,319 you've got all these different options. Uh. Some some artists just do singles, 297 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,359 you know, or they'll even put out a series of singles that eventually 298 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,880 become an EP or eventually become a full album. But but they're kind of 299 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:32,240 feeding the machine as they go. Um at what goes into the decision for 300 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,920 the three of you to release an EP. I feel like it is just 301 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:41,319 attentions, ye, short attentions then in general, and it is people don't 302 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,079 you know, no one really listens to albums anymore. And whether that that's 303 00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,440 a good or bad thing. I mean, I like albums personally, but 304 00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:52,680 I mean I don't think everyone necessarily should have to listen to a full album. 305 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,720 They don't want to. Yeah, so it's almost like you get to 306 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,359 do an album without having to do an album in a way, you know 307 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,119 what I mean? In between Yeah, Yeah, the first in the beginning, 308 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,160 it was because we didn't have enough songs. Yeah, sure, sure 309 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,880 we were. We could barely play a show in the beginning, like we 310 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,279 had to do like a bunch of covers with it. But yeah, and 311 00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:19,920 then from there it was just you know, attention spans, like nobody, 312 00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:26,519 nobody wants to put, you know, listen to a full length album anymore. 313 00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:30,119 It's just too too much for them. Yeah. I think some people 314 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,000 probably do, but but the majority in dwindling numbers. Yeah, yeah, 315 00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:37,680 that's true. I mean we're we're kind of spoiled in that sense too. 316 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,359 We live in an era where you can just listen to anything you want to 317 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,880 at any time, and uh, you know, if you are listening to 318 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,119 a full album, if you get tired of it and you want to listen 319 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,559 to something else, you can and it's very easy to access whatever. Yeah, 320 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,160 we're recording now, and we're kind of talking about possibly doing one at 321 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,799 a time and then making it into like an EP or something like that. 322 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,000 Yeah, so we haven't really decided yet, but we're just gonna try to 323 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,759 get through the recording first. Yeah. Yeah, if you already started it, 324 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:11,599 you've already started. We've got one song completed. Yeah, and more 325 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:18,519 than one, can't we got broken and just nothing? Oh yeah, yeah, 326 00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:22,680 okay, all right, technically we have three recorded, okay, and 327 00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:26,880 same process I assume in the in the living room and yeah yeah yeah, 328 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,640 well we just got recently got a vocal booth. Oh cool. Yeah, 329 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,960 we set it right up in there. It's really cool because it gives you 330 00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:34,720 privacy, you know, it's nice.

We've been talking and 347 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:10,519 playing some music from their EP Choke. Y'all were talking while the song was 348 00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:11,960 on about you've got a show coming up at the Shaft Skene. We should 349 00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:17,559 make sure people know about that. Yeah, we are playing the Shaft Skene 350 00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:25,839 August twenty six. We'll be playing with two Boston bands, Andrew Queen and 351 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,960 Gretchen Shay in the middle eight. Okay, okay, both there female fronted 352 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:37,359 bands and they are great, excellent, excellent. Now, we were talking 353 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,160 before the song about you're working on some some new music that you're recording. 354 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,839 Do you have any kind of any eta on that. When when that's going 355 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,400 to be out or probably probably a while right, it's pretty early in the 356 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,799 process, I would imagine. Yeah, I mean, if we had to 357 00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:55,000 shoot for a planet, would be probably by the end of winter. Okay, 358 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,440 okay, so it'll be a while. How long is um, how 359 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,920 long has Choke been out? Twenty twenty? I think it came out it 360 00:31:02,039 --> 00:31:04,759 was that it was it was twenty It was like twenty twenty two winter. 361 00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:11,279 Yeah. Oh okay, yeah, so that one's still fairly recent. Okay, 362 00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:15,039 Um, Joe, I wonder if you experience, uh, because you 363 00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:17,839 were off by two years, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder if 364 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,279 you experienced that sort of COVID time distortion that I experienced and that a lot 365 00:31:21,319 --> 00:31:25,279 of people seem to experience, where it seems like like things seem like they 366 00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:27,519 were either longer ago than they actually were or not as long ago as they 367 00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:33,079 actually were. I feel like the pandemic just it like disrupted the whole h 368 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:36,960 spacetime continuum. Yeah, I mean everything just went on pause. You know. 369 00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:40,000 Yeah, it's crazy. So yeah, to mention, we had like 370 00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:45,599 we went through like two bass players during that recording, and you know, 371 00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:48,480 yeah, it didn't come out un till Megan was in the band. Yeah. 372 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:49,599 Yeah, that's true, that's true. Yeah, all right, Oh 373 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,599 so you had two bass players before Megan, Well, I mean they weren't 374 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,559 they were like, oh, I got you, I got you. Um 375 00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:02,720 now what was so was the audition process like or did was there an audition 376 00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:07,359 process or Megan did you just did you just join or did you have to 377 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,119 audition or I mean it wasn't really formal like that. I kind of just 378 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,880 came over on the premise to like jam yeah yeah, and they were like, 379 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,759 so, yeah, would you want to like join the band if Sean? 380 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,240 I don't know, because at the time, I think it was still 381 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,640 sort of up in the air about whether or not Sean was going to be 382 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:28,359 like a full member quote unquote or just a fill in. Yeah. Yeah, 383 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,720 So basically I kind of joined on the premise that like when Sean couldn't 384 00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:35,400 do something, I would do it. Then they just liked me better. 385 00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:40,319 I mean, she's just awesome. She's a great bass player, and yeah, 386 00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:45,200 you know, we just like her. She's awesome. Well and she 387 00:32:45,359 --> 00:32:51,559 does backing vocals, right yeah, well yeah yeah, And everybody says it 388 00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:54,960 who you know knows us and stuff, like they're like just with Megan and 389 00:32:55,039 --> 00:33:00,240 the harmonies, it's just it kicks us up another notch. Yeah yeah. 390 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,519 Are there any live performances online? Like if I go on YouTube, do 391 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,400 you have anything up there or any videos. Everybody's making videos. Yeah, 392 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:13,400 you should go on Instagram for stuff like that. Okay, Facebook, I 393 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,240 am just I don't keep up on YouTube as much, but I'm gonna work 394 00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:21,680 on it. We do have a professionally done music video for No Way Out 395 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,359 on YouTube. Oh okay, okay, yeah cool, it's funny. I 396 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,680 was talking with somebody on the show recently, I forget who. It was, 397 00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:31,079 one of our musical guests, and we were talking about how some people 398 00:33:31,119 --> 00:33:35,960 have a misconception that nobody makes videos anymore because it's been so long since MTV 399 00:33:36,079 --> 00:33:39,440 really played videos, and and it's it's actually the opposite, like there's more 400 00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:44,880 music videos than ever because you know, if you don't have a music video 401 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,200 on YouTube, but it's almost like people look at you funny, like, 402 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,039 what, you haven't made a video yet. Well, to be fair, 403 00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:53,680 the means of making a video pretty much at everyone's disposal all the time now 404 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,319 true. Yeah, yeah, So it's like it doesn't surprise me. I 405 00:33:57,599 --> 00:34:00,519 feel like content is you know, people talk about and content generation and stuff 406 00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:04,359 like that, Like it makes total sense to me that there is a you 407 00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:07,960 know, a plethora of videos and other media available online just because I mean 408 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,960 we all, you know, our phones can do most of it. Oh 409 00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:14,079 yeah yeah, so yeah, I think that's pretty It's kind of cool in 410 00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:15,599 a way. I feel like it opens up a whole new realm of like 411 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,159 possibility for you know, music and media and stuff like that. Oh. 412 00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:25,119 Absolutely absolutely. And what's so the video that you do have? It's what's 413 00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:28,280 the song No Way Out? Is that? What if I'm looking for it? 414 00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:30,960 Yeah? That yeah, No Way Out? It's it's the song off 415 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,360 Catharsis. Okay, okay? Cool? Is that now? Is that something 416 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,920 you you made with someone who's did you do it yourselves? Or was that 417 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,800 because you said it was a professionally done video or I mean it wasn't like 418 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,599 super professional it's um mister Goodbar's studios. Yes, yeah, no him, 419 00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:52,079 Well he's been on the show multiple times. Actually, friend Timothy um did 420 00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:54,880 it for us, Timothy Thorpe. Yeah, yeah, very cool, very 421 00:34:54,880 --> 00:35:01,960 cool. Yeah he's um. Oh, Shane Ballen was and recently and because 422 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:07,440 mister Goodbars said produced, do you guys do you know Shane Ballen local singer 423 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:12,280 songwriter? Yeah yeah, yeah he just he just played solos, but yeah, 424 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,400 really good, such a great voice. Um, but yeah, mister 425 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,559 Goodbars, I produced at least one, maybe more, of some of the 426 00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:22,719 tracks of his that we've recently played on the show. So it sounds like 427 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,400 he's been doing a lot um used to be in sepsis, of course, 428 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,679 I don't think he still is. Yeah, yeah, I don't know what 429 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,719 happened there. They lost like yeah, yeah, yeah, well they they've 430 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,119 reformed, They've got a whole new lineup now and actually they just released a 431 00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:40,800 video for their song bleed Lines, which is really good. So yeah, 432 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,400 they're they're doing a lot of stuff. But yeah, they really went through 433 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,360 a whole quite a quite a change, Yeah for sure. Oh uh, 434 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,360 Nate Pejari or Pajerry, I'm never sure if I'm saying that right from dank 435 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,599 Sinatra is in the chat room, Uh says, uh says, what's up? 436 00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:01,559 Can't wait to have you guys at dank Fest.

Right, yea and Dover. Yes, yeah, we're 445 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,239 playing with them with the strand it's a battle of the bands. I don't 446 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,519 really want to battle, thanks, because we're friends, but yeah, that's 447 00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:40,079 the way it's gonna be. Yeah, you going down. We could take 448 00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:45,000 the clubs off for a night. I didn't know that was still a thing. 449 00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:49,920 Battle of the bands. It's every once in a while there there's one, 450 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,199 you know, like, um, what was it last year? We 451 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,480 got invited to a battle of the bands? And yeah, in Portland it 452 00:36:55,599 --> 00:37:01,440 was at all liked was I think they just wanted to see us play? 453 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,960 Oh wow? Yeah. It was like we were one rock band in a 454 00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:09,119 group of just kind of jam bands and it was like we just did not 455 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:15,920 fit and I was like, what were we doing here? Wowde it was 456 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,679 extremely awkward. Yeah, it really was. Because the prize was a spot 457 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,559 in a like a jam band festival. Yeah you know, yeah we didn't 458 00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:28,559 get it. We didn't get Well, it's nice it's nice to be invited 459 00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:30,639 though, I guess. Yeah. The venue was cool. The way they 460 00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:35,440 did the floor was like, um, it was all colorful and it was 461 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,960 a it was a cool, cool floor and a nice venue. Yeah. 462 00:37:37,039 --> 00:37:40,880 Yeah, it's fun to stand out though sometimes, right, Yeah, when 463 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,920 when when you're in a situation like that, Nate says, wait, it's 464 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,960 a battle of the bands. We didn't even know this. We didn't know 465 00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:58,440 until recently either prepare for battle. Um, how how far away of you 466 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,360 guys toured in terms of playing out like you do? Get out of Hampshire 467 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,719 obviously, as we talked about earlier, you go to Boston, you go 468 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,000 to Maine. Have you gone further than that or I think the first two 469 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,360 okay, yeah, and then we've been pretty far up north and Maymi and 470 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,119 Jesse have played in Poland before, but that's you know, not any state. 471 00:38:16,519 --> 00:38:20,320 We went up by bang or oh that's on there. Yeah. Oh 472 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,760 and then form that Charlie Oo's world famous. We played out there, oh 473 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,760 wow, yeah. Yeah. Um, do you plan to do a lot 474 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:34,000 of that going forward or getting out? And it's interesting because, um, 475 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,079 there's a lot of bands who are actually kind of doing the opposite where they're 476 00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:42,000 sort of limiting how much they play out. And I think a lot of 477 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,840 it just has to do with the cost. You know, gas is a 478 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,639 lot more expensive than it used to be and whatnot. But um, but 479 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:51,800 I also think too a pre pandemic, it was like everybody just wanted to 480 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,199 play out as much as they could, and the attitude's about that with a 481 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,400 lot of musicians is kind of shifted. And again, I think part of 482 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,280 it has to do with expense. It's even like like those major bands now 483 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,920 that are saying, you know, we're not we're not touring as extensively because 484 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,159 it's become cost prohibitive, but it's it's to me, it's just it's such 485 00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:13,000 a different world because like when I was active, I used to playing a 486 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000 lot of bands, and I always wanted to just play, like every weekend. 487 00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:16,880 I just wanted to play out as much. You know, I was 488 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,199 at one point, I was in three bands at one time, and I 489 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,280 just wanted to because all I wanted to do was play. But and it 490 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,360 sounds like that's that's kind of the approach that the three of you are taking, 491 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,159 you know, just play as much as you can, school play whatever. 492 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:35,480 It's definitely labor of love. We'll just we'll play anywhere anytime. Yeah, 493 00:39:35,559 --> 00:39:37,719 yeah, it's awesome. I love it.
