That is Two Towns band, Zach and James with us here 22 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:12,199 live in studio. How are you guys? Do we good met? Yeah? 23 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,639 Welcome, welcome. Yeah, I love your as I was saying off 24 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,199 here. I really like your sound. You guys sound great. That track 25 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,199 that's been getting some airplay. You mentioned the river in Boston. Yeah, 26 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,599 we were featured a few weeks ago on the new upcoming music Homegrown Sound I 27 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,120 think it is. But yeah, yep, yep. They played a couple 28 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,960 of weeks ago and that was the song that we featured on it. So 29 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:36,360 that's off our last our first debut album that we put out two years ago. 30 00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,840 Now Shell City okay, okay, oh fantastic, And we do have 31 00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:43,960 some other songs of your suit that we'll be playing today. And how long 32 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,240 have you guys been around? So this started like I want to say, 33 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,840 three, three to four years ago. It was me and another buddy, 34 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,280 and we both came from two different bands when we were in high school. 35 00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:00,199 So I was in this band called Insider, and we actually did pretty well 36 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,319 in Vermont for a while. We like played Higher Ground and did a bunch 37 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,400 of shows there. We were actually on ninety nine The Buzz a few times 38 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,680 out there too, And he was in this other like rock band. They 39 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,599 were called Prohibition, So his name was Hunter Myers, and me and him 40 00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:18,319 started this right before, like right after COVID started, Like we realized that 41 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:23,120 the whole five piece band thing was gonna go away for a while, and 42 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,879 we're like, okay, how can we keep this going while still like making 43 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,439 music and like going out and playing during the pandemic, So that that all 44 00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:35,920 happened, We recorded an album during the pandemic. After that, we just 45 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,439 got on the road, started touring pretty much anywhere we could in the Northeast. 46 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,759 And then I think it was about a year and a half ago and 47 00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:50,600 Hunter moved to Indianapolis to start doing some other projects. So James really came 48 00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:54,920 in a clutch in this last few months here, and I was like, 49 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,399 Hey, what do you play guitar? What are you doing? I need 50 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,720 somebody to fill this spot and start doing shows again and start getting this like 51 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,680 back up to where we had it before, where we were like playing every 52 00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:11,720 week three four times a week and recording albums and putting stuff out. And 53 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,800 he really stepped up and just came in and did what he had to do. 54 00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:17,000 So now it's going great again. Well it must have been a big 55 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,519 relief, right, because it's scary when I mean, I know from my 56 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,680 own experience it's it's scary when you have a project that has a lot of 57 00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:26,959 momentum and you feel like you're really getting somewhere with it, and all of 58 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,120 a sudden, the bottom falls out because somebody says, yeah, I'm not 59 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,079 gonna be here anymore. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was nerve 60 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,959 racking at first, and then I was like, okay, it's fine. 61 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,560 There's people can play guitar, Like, there's people out there who know how 62 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,600 to play guitar. And honestly, it was hard finding somebody for a while, 63 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,680 was it. Yeah, Yeah, like nobody, nobody really lived up 64 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,399 to the standard. I'm like, it's super perfectionist, and like, yeah, 65 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,240 it had to be like really good and to where I needed to be, 66 00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:53,600 and yeah, James just came in and did exactly what needed to be 67 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,000 done. Excellent, excellent. Did what Was it a challenge for you, 68 00:05:57,399 --> 00:06:00,600 James coming in and learning the because obviously like he's a perfectionist. Was that 69 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,959 a challenge for you? Yeah. I got my first guitar about a year 70 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,600 ago on my birthday. So I'm like, oh, I'm extremely Wow, 71 00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:12,800 he's doing he stepped up. He's good. Yeah. So we had our 72 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,040 first show at the end of May, I think it was May thirst and 73 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,519 then it was the beginning of the March. We worked together another job. 74 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,920 I showed up with my guitar and he said, oh, you play guitar? 75 00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:25,720 Would you like to join the band. I didn't know it was gonna 76 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:28,959 pick up this much or get it big, but yeah, yeah, oh 77 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,360 that's awesome. Yeah, it's like fate. Yeah. Is that at a 78 00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:33,959 job you guys? Is that how you guys mad at work? Or yeah? 79 00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:39,120 So that we work for a marketing company, like outside of doing two 80 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,800 towns and stuff. Yeah, So it just kind of worked out like we 81 00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:44,759 were just away at an event somewhere. I think we were in like Pennsylvania 82 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,600 or something. He had his guitar with him. I'm like, Oh, 83 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,480 you're gonna you're gonna be with me now, like you're gonna cancel your summer 84 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:56,480 you're doing shows. Yeah, wow, excellent, excellent. So now on 85 00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:59,920 the on the tracks, on the recorded track, so who else is on 86 00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:02,639 or do you guys do everything between the two of you. So chel City 87 00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:08,959 came out before James's time, that was before James, but Hunter actually did 88 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,000 the drums and everything on that, and he did all like the mixing, 89 00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:15,399 mastering, recording. Fantastic audio engineer. But other than that, vocals, 90 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,439 guitar, and I think most of the bass was me okay, yeah doing 91 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,439 all that. And then on the running Away feature, we have a Luke 92 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:27,800 Bolt he's one of the original members of Prohibition too with Hunter there, and 93 00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:30,120 we got him to do a little feature on there and he just knocked it 94 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,519 out of the park. Oh cool. What does he do on the track? 95 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,439 He does like the little outro verse towards the end there. Okay, 96 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,879 yeah, okay, So what happens live is it just do the two of 97 00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:45,720 you just play live? And yeah, it's the two of us. Usually 98 00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:47,680 James is just like leaning the way with the guitar and then I'm just kind 99 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,639 of in the background a few chords and all the vocals are coming from me 100 00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:56,800 and we're getting him up to speed on the vocals harmonies very soon here. 101 00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:59,199 Yeah. Yeah, So what do you play live? It's a strip down, 102 00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:01,560 like you're not using any kind of a backing track for the drums or 103 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,839 anything. Is like a stripped down like doing stuff off of Shell City, 104 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,319 doing covers and stuff we and just playing everywhere that we can. Yeah, 105 00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:13,079 is there any kind of a long term plan to have a full band or 106 00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:16,839 or do you like doing it? I would imagine there's a lot of advantages 107 00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:20,480 to it just being the two of you in terms of bocking shows and all 108 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,639 of that. I mean, yeah, there's there's advantages to doing it just 109 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,839 the two of us. I mean like we get paid more both and then 110 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:33,320 like it's definitely easier like logistically because we just show up with two speakers and 111 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,039 a few cables and guitars and it's a show. I think we've done the 112 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,279 big band thing before, Like we two Towns actually played higher Ground two years 113 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:46,200 ago. It was one of our last shows, and higher Ground as venue 114 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,720 in Verma. I don't know if you heard it, it's like, yeah, 115 00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:50,879 yeah, it's great. We love it, and we played with a 116 00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:54,200 full band there and it worked out pretty well. It was kind of like 117 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,120 we grabbed the Hunter played drums, we grabbed the other guitars we were working 118 00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:01,320 with at the time, Jackson Garrow, and then we grabbed my old bassist, 119 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,600 Zach Hayes from Insider and we were just like, Hey, we're gonna 120 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,840 be a band for one night and we're all gonna play and it's gonna sound 121 00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,960 awesome. And it went good, and I think moving forward, it would 122 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,799 definitely just be like having like a session session drummer or having like a guitarist 123 00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:20,720 or a bassist or something like that. I don't think we would ever want 124 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,480 like change the core of the group. I think I just keep that to 125 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,799 the two people who are really invested in it. Yeah, no, that 126 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:30,799 makes sense. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Higher Ground is 127 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,840 that? Is that where Green Jelly just played where they had the incident where 128 00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:39,639 they got shut down. Three songs in green Jelly might have been, Yeah, 129 00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:43,240 it was. Yeah, I've seen Green Jelly at Higher Ground. I 130 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,320 was looking at that. Yeah, that was it. They were here last 131 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,919 week. I saw that. I saw him, Like Green Jelly was there. 132 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,559 They're coming back through in August. Really all right? But yeah, 133 00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:56,879 so they played it was higher ground. Yeah, so they played. They 134 00:09:56,919 --> 00:09:58,320 got three songs in, and they got shut down. I guess, uh 135 00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:03,600 really, something something to do with Bill's pants hanging from the chandelier. I 136 00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:07,399 guess. I guess that's a deal breaker. Yeah, all right, playing 137 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,799 in the playing in the small room over there, putting your pants on the 138 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:13,799 chandelier. Said no, no, yeah, Well, I don't I don't 139 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,559 know who put them there. I mean, you know, I don't know 140 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,320 if he put them there himself, or I mean, I don't I don't 141 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,440 know the details. I don't know how they got there. Yeah, I 142 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,440 don't know how the pants got off of Bill and onto the chandelier. But 143 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,399 I assume he was playing the music at the time. It may not have 144 00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:28,000 been Bill's fault. I don't know. I don't know. But uh, 145 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,399 yeah, it didn't go well. It was pretty uh yeah, yeah, 146 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,879 it looked like a wild scene. Are you guys doing a lot of shows? 147 00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:37,320 Are you're playing a lot? Yeah, we're playing out of our minds. 148 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,039 We actually have a show later today up in a Waterville We're playing the 149 00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:45,840 Waterville Valley Town Square. Oh cool, providing that the weather holds up for 150 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,080 us, which I think it's going to hopefully. Yeah, and uh, 151 00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:50,919 two nights ago we were at l Street down in Hampton Beach, and then 152 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,559 last week we were at Telly's and Epping and we're playing Shane's and Hampton. 153 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,960 We're playing in Boston. We're playing at the Bebop Music Hall later in September. 154 00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:05,759 We got pretty much anywhere that you can house the band. We're getting 155 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:07,879 in there. Yeah, playing, Yeah, that's excellent, excellent. Well, 156 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,279 let's play another one of these studio tracks. I'll let you pick what 157 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,799 should we what should we do next? We haven't played STU. I like 158 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,720 Overdue. I think Overdue is one of the stronger ones that I've written. 159 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,799 Overdue. Okay, we'll do that one next, maybe the next one after 160 00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:24,919 that. I'll reveal what my favorite is of the one. I have a 161 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,399 personal favorite. I think I know what it's going to be. Yea, 162 00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:31,039 All right, well we'll find out. We'll find out. But in the 163 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,480 meantime, this is Overdue. The band is a two towns band. They 164 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,120 are here with us live in studio. We have Zach and James here with 165 00:11:39,240 --> 00:12:03,120 us. But check this out. This is called overdue.

We're so we're thinking about doing this, 196 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,840 uh little cover album sort of thing. So we're gonna call it Two 197 00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:46,840 Towns Covered Up. Okay, it could be fun, and we're gonna do 198 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,799 five ish cover songs and then we're just gonna like throw in make maybe five, 199 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,080 six more originals, just start getting the ball rolling. So you're gonna 200 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,200 be recorded with Eric Sotter, Yeah, I believe, I believe. So, 201 00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:00,039 yeah, we had him on. It was a few months ago now, 202 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,960 we we finally had him on the show. And uh, I had 203 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,240 said to him, you know, it's great to finally have here because your 204 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,039 name comes up all the time, because his name comes up all the time, 205 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,840 yep on the show and he's he's amazing. No, that's very cool, 206 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,159 very cool. So the the the album that that you had done, 207 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,200 where was where was that recorded in Hunter's basement? Okay? Yeah, yeah, 208 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,600 yeah he did all the record like we did all the recording there, 209 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:29,519 the mixing, mastering, like everything was just done in his basement. Wow, 210 00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:33,559 came out way better than we expected. Really, Yeah, for a 211 00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:37,039 basement t I Y album, it came out good. Yeah. Yeah. 212 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:40,639 Well, you know, with the technology that's available today, you can really 213 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,519 I mean you can, you can really get some you know. I mean, 214 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,559 obviously what you get out of out of Blackheart is going to sound better 215 00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:49,799 than better than anything you've yet. Sure, I'm sure, but no, 216 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,200 but that's I'm genuinely surprised though, that that was all done because, like 217 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,960 I said, all these tracks it sound really really good. Yeah, thank 218 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,279 you, Yeah, yeah absolutely. Do you know when you when you start 219 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:07,680 recording the next wee one'll start in like September twenty if September twenty first ish, 220 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,319 like right around that range. We're gonna start doing these like next songs 221 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,960 and start getting them out. So yeah, we're going to record it, 222 00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:18,160 have it all done and recorded by the end of September, and then hopefully 223 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,799 for an early winter release we will be a full album. Yeah, we're 224 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,039 trying to make it a full album. Good, yep, good. Now 225 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,400 are you what's the writing process? Like, are you guys writing together or 226 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,000 are you are you doing most of it Zach or how does that work with 227 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,799 so so far we haven't done any like me and him sitting down in a 228 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,039 room just be like, Okay, we got to write something, put the 229 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,240 ideas together, and get hit out there. Yeah. Like the stuff that 230 00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:48,319 we have right now is just stuff that's like been in the back pocket for 231 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,559 a while and being like, okay, we're gonna record eventually, and then 232 00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:56,319 we have fifty shows in three months and record. Yeah, so let's save 233 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,359 it for next year and then we have another fifty shows in three month are 234 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,880 like, Okay, we're gonna save this again. And then so eventually we're 235 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,720 just here now after shell City, and we still got those songs in the 236 00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:11,519 back pocket, so those are ready to go. We'll probably get those out 237 00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:17,200 on this next upcoming project with black Heart, and then anything past that will 238 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,279 be written by me and James collaboratively. Okay, okay, excellent. Are 239 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,920 there any plans to re record anything from Shell City? Or I want to 240 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:29,000 redo Overdue? Yeah, you were saying something about that off air. Yeah, 241 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,079 yeah, I want to redo Overdue, Like it's I think that for 242 00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:36,839 having it been like written in fifteen minutes, I think that it's one of 243 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,279 the strongest lyrical songs that we have. Yeah, there's just so much raw 244 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,440 emotion and passion that I put into that song when writing it, which I 245 00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:45,640 don't even know where it came from. Like I was in a good place. 246 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,359 I was like, oh, freshman year of college, You're like, 247 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,039 yeah, have fun with all my buddies, and then it's like, Bam, 248 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,839 let's write a sad song. I don't know where it came from, 249 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,559 but hey, it came out good. Yeah. Yeah, what is it 250 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,200 that you don't like about the because I think it sounds phenomenal. I like 251 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:04,400 it. I think like when it goes into like the chorus part I. 252 00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:11,000 The original version that we had, the vocals were much higher, raspier, 253 00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:15,000 and more They had more feeling and more tone to it, and I want 254 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,279 to get back to that. The only thing that we didn't why we didn't 255 00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:22,279 do that on Shell Cities because we had a version of it before that we 256 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,160 had put out and it wasn't doing as well as we had thought. Like 257 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,640 it was some audio issues with it with like it clipping and stuff and just 258 00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:33,000 not sounding like the professional standard that we wanted it to. So I think 259 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,200 if we get back into Blackhart, it'll be a lot easier to get the 260 00:19:37,319 --> 00:19:41,400 sound that we want and have the audio quality not be compromised. Yeah, 261 00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:44,839 well that makes sense. That makes sense. When when you guys play live, 262 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,160 do you do any covers or is it all originals or yeah, we 263 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,759 do, we do covers, originals, everything. So I mean our usual 264 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,680 set, what are we going on like to twish three hours? Our usual 265 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,240 set? Oh wow, okay, I know we're we're playing like two ish 266 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:03,079 three ish hours at like pubs and again everywhere we can play and we do 267 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:10,480 quite a bit of covers, and I just think our covers sometimes like I 268 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,319 like to I like when we're told that our covers sound better than the original 269 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:18,440 version. So we were playing I think we're playing Telly's last week, and 270 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,920 there was like a bunch of people at the bar, and I love their 271 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,160 new open concept thing. They like got a stage and everything surrounded now instead 272 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,240 of like being in the corner like we were a couple of years ago. 273 00:20:29,079 --> 00:20:30,440 But yeah, so we had there was people at the bar and they came 274 00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:33,720 up to us after There's like, man, that Zach Bryan's song he doesn't 275 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,880 he doesn't hit those notes live, And I'm like, oh, yeah, 276 00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:41,079 we we try to be different and try and do stuff that like the people 277 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,000 who are playing these big shows out there aren't doing, because like we want 278 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,079 to bring we want to bring like as much of the experience as we can 279 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,519 to them and just try and sound as authentic as we can. What song 280 00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:56,000 we were doing, Burn Burn Burn Zach Bryan. Yeah, and when he 281 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,559 gets to the end there he goes, let me go down that. Yeah, 282 00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:04,480 I was like hitting those notes and like getting them correct and people just 283 00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:07,920 loved it. Yeah, they're like, well, we saw him live and 284 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,839 he didn't do that. I was like, yeah, well we try and 285 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,640 be the best. Yeah. No, that's and that's validating, right when 286 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,079 somebody says that to you, that's amazing. Yeah, it's it's great. 287 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,400 We'd love to hear it. Yeah. Yeah. Do you do any obscure 288 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,000 covers where people don't necessarily know their covers? Yes? Oh my god. 289 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,079 Yeah, well we're playing we're playing l Street the other day. It's like, 290 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,119 are you guys just playing covers or this originals too? And just like 291 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,240 it's both. We hadn't played any originals yet. Yea, yeah, it's 292 00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:36,640 both. We're getting there, but it's both for now, right, like 293 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,799 like like what what what what's an example of like an obscure one that gosh, 294 00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:45,160 Miles Smith, Yeah, Miles Smith. He's he's getting up there. 295 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,799 But like we play solo by Miles Smith and that's a pretty obscure one. 296 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,480 Yeah. I think like for non like college students, Kilby Girl would be 297 00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:56,880 another. Yeah, that's that's a new favorite. Rus like Killby Girl by 298 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,039 the back Seat Lovers. We started playing that a couple of weeks ago, 299 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,240 and it's hasn't reached this way to the older audience yet, but it's getting 300 00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:10,200 there. Yeah. I think another one we play that's really obscure disco nights. 301 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,240 I honestly don't even know who that's by. It's obscure to me. 302 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,160 Yeah, I just I think it was like one of those TikTok songs. 303 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,400 It's like, yeah, let's play that, right, Well, let's song, 304 00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:26,279 let's play my favorite. Now you said you you think you you can 305 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,839 guess which one is my favorite of the track? Seat you want to guess 306 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,279 that? You guys? Rhyme? Yeah? Am I right? That's the 307 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:41,720 one, is it? Yeah? So weird. This was not that song 308 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,519 was not like intended to ever be a song. Really. Yeah. So 309 00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:48,119 me and me and Hunter where we were just in his basement one night. 310 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,400 It was me and him and his brother, his girlfriend, like a bunch 311 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,720 of friends were just like, I bet I could write a pop song. 312 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,119 Like we were probably like hanging out and doing stuff and like I was like, 313 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,480 oh, I could write a pop song. I could do that easy, 314 00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:04,000 And like an hour later this was created. Well, yeah, apparently 315 00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:07,799 it is easy because yeah it's a great track and it's yeah, I know 316 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,960 what you mean about it being a pop song. It's catchy as hell, 317 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,359 and it's the length of a pop song. It's only two minutes and forty 318 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,599 seconds. Yeah, so you're coming in under that three minute. It's perfect 319 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,440 for radio. I think that was the point where like, oh, radio 320 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,279 pop songs, Yeah, anybody can do that. And we just did it 321 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:26,640 an hour and you did it. Yeah, well you did it well. 322 00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:30,559 So I love it. So let's give this a listen. So this is 323 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,920 method and the rhyme and the band is two Towns band here in studio. 324 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:53,759 Check this out. If you give me one mun Chang, maybe just let 325 00:23:53,960 --> 00:24:00,880 me in.

A p that is method and the rhyme. The band 345 00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:18,640 is Two Towns band and they are here with us live in studio, and 346 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,759 uh yeah, it's like it's so catchy, like I start swaying back. 347 00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:29,119 I don't do that to everything. That's true. It's true. I really 348 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,960 do like that song. Yeah, really do. I love all of your 349 00:26:32,039 --> 00:26:34,160 music. Really, you have an amazing sound. Yeah, thank you very 350 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,200 much. You know, it reminds me a little bit. I think it's 351 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,039 in the vocal, the way you sing it. It reminds me a little 352 00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:42,000 bit of Maroon five. It's funny because I really don't even like Maroon five, 353 00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:45,519 but I like that song. All right, that's good. But when 354 00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:48,000 I when I first listened to it, I was like, the vocal reminds 355 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:51,240 me of somebody, and I think it reminds me of Adam, Like all 356 00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:52,440 right, I can hear it a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 357 00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:56,240 because yeah, because your vocal approach is a little different on that one 358 00:26:56,319 --> 00:26:57,799 too than the other tracks. I feel, oh yeah, but yeah, 359 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,920 no, that's really good. But you were you were also saying off air, 360 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,559 you don't like playing that one live necessarily. We I've played that song 361 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,440 live one time. Oh no, I played that song live one time, 362 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,559 and that was at Higher Ground, and we were we weren't gonna play it 363 00:27:11,599 --> 00:27:14,000 live. We weren't gonna play live. It was not in the set list, 364 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,039 and sure enough, it's everybody's favorite song. So at the end of 365 00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:21,400 the show they're just like chanting method in the rhyme and like, okay. 366 00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:25,359 So Hunter had to just play it on his computer and then me and another 367 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,200 guy we're working with at the time, Jackson Garrow, We just got him 368 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,359 on stage, like I said, one microphone in each hand and just kind 369 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,160 of did it. And it just feels so unnatural. Yeah, so not 370 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:40,720 have a guitar or something in your hand and I just yeah it just don't 371 00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:44,680 play it live other than that. Wow wow, yeah, fidget, So 372 00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:47,519 you can have something and it's gotta be it's gonna be something. Yeah, 373 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,160 yeah, guitar. How about a guitar no strings? He uses, Yeah, 374 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,519 you us this, hold the guitar and not not play it. I 375 00:27:53,559 --> 00:27:57,519 don't know. Yeah, I can be there to fiddle. I think it's 376 00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:00,759 a great song. I think you miss this up and playing it, not 377 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,799 playing it live. I gotta tell you see what's gonna you know what's gonna 378 00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:06,559 happen. Right, that's gonna end up being a huge hit, even even 379 00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:08,119 if you don't push it. Somehow, radio stations are gonna pick it up, 380 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,680 and then you're gonna be forced to and then we're gonna have to be 381 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,799 a pop band, and then some day no, and then someday you're gonna 382 00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:19,799 be on a big tour going oh I hate playing that song, but you're 383 00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:23,240 gonna feel obligated. That's gonna be your encore because it's gonna be this massive 384 00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:26,720 hit. Yep, that's what's gonna happen. Yeah, that's like, hey, 385 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:30,920 you know that song is gonna be big. It's like why because it's 386 00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:34,960 good? Yeah, it sounds good, but like it when you're when you're 387 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,599 recording it or you're like, Okay, this is great, like pop song, 388 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,240 it's gonna be catchy, sounds awesome, and then like when it's done 389 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:47,920 and you've listened to that same Arpeggi hated No maybe five thousand times, and 390 00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:49,000 like you're just hearing it and then it comes out that night, you're like 391 00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:52,880 all excited, and then you hear it you're like, ah, should have 392 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,160 been different. Yeah. It's also I feel like it's a little like removed 393 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,200 from our other tracks. Yeah, clearly it's oh yeah, we're more like 394 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:03,319 country indie. But right, so it changes the pace of the shows if 395 00:29:03,359 --> 00:29:06,200 we did play it love, which would be nice, but it's also you 396 00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:10,680 know that jumping from Zach Bryan to that to like ever do is completely different. 397 00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:12,759 Yeah yeah, yeah, no, I can see that definitely. Definitely, 398 00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:18,640 So you won't be that. That's not one that you're gonna be uh 399 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:21,720 re recording with Eric sodteriz No, I think I think that one, that 400 00:29:21,799 --> 00:29:23,200 one kind of came out as good as we could get it. Yeah, 401 00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:26,799 I like I was really happy with the production and quality and everything on that 402 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,279 song. Yeah, I have no issues with that one absolutely. Now do 403 00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:34,240 you guys when you play out do you ever are there other bands in the 404 00:29:34,359 --> 00:29:37,839 area that you kind of you know, I just know from my own experience 405 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,400 sometimes it happens sort of our organically you end up teaming up with other bands 406 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,720 and playing a lot of shows with them. Is there any anybody like that 407 00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:48,319 for you guys who you do a lot of shows with?

And then when we stopped touring for 435 00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:25,680 that like year and a half almost two years, like we're finding the need 436 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:29,119 to like not start over, but kind of pick up the pace again where 437 00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:33,880 we're like playing these bars, these smaller shows and just getting as much music 438 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,640 out there and like getting as many people engaged as we can.

Yeah, And we're we're definitely like in the process of 441 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,400 booking like the forty five minutes to an hour and a half shows of where 442 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,440 it's just all the originals. Sure, but that'll probably come later, like 443 00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:56,559 in the fall winter time, and then next summer the tour that we have 444 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,960 planned, we're going to go all over, So it's not we're not going 445 00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:01,440 to limit ourselves just to the Northeast. We're just gonna get on the road 446 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,880 and do it. Yeah. Excellent, excellent. By the way, where 447 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,319 does the name come from? Two towns. Well, yeah, I got 448 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,039 asked this a lot, and it was just during COVID, Like I was 449 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,480 just driving the hunter's house and I was like, oh, I wish he 450 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,319 didn't live like two towns away. Yeah, because like it was, it 451 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,200 was a drive. It was like a thirty minute drive. Every time I 452 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,640 had to go record something to do something practice, I was like, I 453 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:24,000 wish you didn't live two towns away. And that was just kind of oh 454 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,920 it. We just kind of stuck with it. Yeah, So yeah, 455 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,559 I was gonna say, what was the name before, because I don't know 456 00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:35,079 what it. It was two towns. It never changed. Yeah, before 457 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,920 that though, you didn't have a name. Music. Yeah, all right, 458 00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:42,559 there was just music. They were just like two towns, like the 459 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,359 slogan that we like, he's like two guys from two towns. And that 460 00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:49,279 was just kind of stuck. Yeah. Yeah, that's why I only have 461 00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:51,640 to one other person, so then I never have to change the name. 462 00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:54,160 There you go, I get like four people, then I gotta start doing 463 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,319 some explaining. Well, but if it's four people, but two of the 464 00:32:58,359 --> 00:33:00,960 people live in one town and two of the people live see that worked out 465 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,400 for our Higher Ground show.

That is seventeen, by the way, So we were talking 504 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,960 off here. It's officially the name is two Towns, not two towns banned 505 00:37:31,159 --> 00:37:34,880 yep. Correct, two towns, two towns, two towns, got book, 506 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,800 Instagram all over it. Two towns gotcha, gotcha. And the other 507 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,960 thing that we were talking about too, is so one of the songs this 508 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,079 isn't one of the ones you sent me, but you mentioned that this is 509 00:37:44,159 --> 00:37:47,679 your favorite. Let me just see if I just want to get to where 510 00:37:47,679 --> 00:37:51,400 I can play because I had to open up Spotify here, which I can 511 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,599 definitely do. But this this has an interesting story. So it's called fall 512 00:37:54,639 --> 00:38:00,320 apart yep, and uh yeah, tell us about this while so I looked 513 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,159 forward all apart. We It originally started as there was this band from Norway, 514 00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:08,000 Lauren Liz, and they had somehow heard our music and reached out to 515 00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:12,840 us over on Instagram DM and this was right when we were starting, like 516 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,760 we were in the process of doing shell City, and we're like, oh, 517 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,840 okay, we need like one or two more songs to fill some more 518 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,360 slots in this album. And just miraculously, one day they reached out and 519 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,440 they're like, hey, let's do a song together. And they sent us 520 00:38:25,599 --> 00:38:29,760 like a few bits and pieces of like ideas that they had and then it 521 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,280 was just like a back and forth collaboration and it kind of see it kind 522 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:39,320 of like gave me a little light to how just because you're like way apart 523 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,000 in the world, like you're two different parts of like the globe, it 524 00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:45,679 doesn't mean that you can't like collaborate and make music with other people. So 525 00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:50,079 yeah, I mean, we live in a time where, you know, 526 00:38:50,159 --> 00:38:53,079 because I'm old enough to remember when you know, nobody was thinking about you 527 00:38:53,119 --> 00:38:58,400 know, being able to email and dropbox, you know, those songs back 528 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,559 and forth and all that stuff. So yeah, it is amazing that we 529 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:06,039 uh were able to do that, do all of that now, and it's 530 00:39:06,199 --> 00:39:08,840 uh is it? Oh yeah, here we go. So this is called 531 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:31,239 fall Apart and this is two towns was promised shooting stars, thunder Frost, 532 00:39:32,320 --> 00:40:12,679 driving cars and on ste and Ne the change, calling dyes all blinded Bob, 533 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:40,519 she got down, believe before blue Bla. She once to fighting and 534 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:55,679 she bleeves she's tart about and it's not too lame. Change. It's not 535 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:06,920 too lay change. It's not too it's not it's not it's not change. 536 00:41:07,639 --> 00:41:34,360 It's not change. It's not it's not night it's not to change. Well, 537 00:41:34,519 --> 00:41:37,400 very cool. That is fall apart. Two towns did that. So 538 00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:44,280 in the end, obviously that that collaboration. You said it's your favorite, 539 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,920 so you're you're obviously very happy with it. Yeah, it's one of my 540 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,639 favorites that we did. And it just it came from absolutely nothing and they 541 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,840 just reached out and yeah, something beautiful. Did it? Did it turn 542 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:58,679 out the way that you expected or was it a surprise because it was It 543 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,239 was definitely a surprise. It was more of like, oh, this actually 544 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,159 turned into something that like we can use and it was it was a long 545 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:09,320 process, like I think we spent three to six months just like back and 546 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,079 forth communication being like Okay, who's going to do this, You're going to 547 00:42:13,159 --> 00:42:15,199 do this, and it turned into something that like we were really proud of. 548 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:20,559 In the end, there obviously you know you don't have another vocalist with 549 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,239 you to do that, you do that live at all? Or that one 550 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,840 we haven't really considered doing live. I think it's just because we don't have 551 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,800 the female vocalists. Yea, unless your voice can get that huh, I 552 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,360 mean we can see what's going on. Yeah, you never know. Yeah, 553 00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:37,559 yeah, yeah, we just haven't really considered doing it live because we 554 00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:42,559 don't have that female vocalist aspect of it. But it's definitely something we would 555 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,079 like consider bringing in, maybe reworking a little bit of the vocals to fit 556 00:42:45,559 --> 00:42:51,360 my range or maybe James's and then yeah from there, Yeah, what was 557 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,880 the one you had mentioned maybe playing before we started talking about fall apart. 558 00:42:57,639 --> 00:43:00,039 I think the two that we have is is the two that we have left 559 00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:04,199 is on original and should have been me. Those are the oh should have 560 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,360 been me? I really liked that one a lot too. Should have been 561 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,559 me? I actually wrote when I was in eighth grade, No kidding, 562 00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:10,880 should have been me. I wrote in eighth grade, and it just kind 563 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,800 of followed me all the way till we started. Two times we're like, 564 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:20,760 hey, here's something, and it kind of just came to be no kidding. 565 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,480 Yeah, So did you did you have the lyrics written down somewhere or 566 00:43:24,519 --> 00:43:28,960 did you just always remember them? I had the lyrics written down somewhere. 567 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:34,119 And we were renovating like one of our rooms in the basement that used to 568 00:43:34,119 --> 00:43:37,440 be my bedroom into a recording studio, and I had found this book from 569 00:43:37,679 --> 00:43:40,880 like this like little notebook from when I was like in middle school, eighth 570 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,880 grade time. And I opened it up and like the first page I opened 571 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:45,719 it up to should have been me was on there, and I was like, 572 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,840 hey, we're gonna we're gonna try this, and it just turned out 573 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,360 to be a great song. Wow, I'll be Did you rewrite any of 574 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,199 the lyrics or did you stick with I think we stuck with everything I had. 575 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,440 I think we reworked, like the ending part a little bit, the 576 00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:01,800 outro, I think we reworked, and maybe the second verse. But yeah, 577 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,199 that was the first song that Two Towns Ever put out, and that 578 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,239 was back in twenty twenty, I think November of twenty twenty.

They're very beard centric and they notice you guys don't have beards, 615 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,840 which is unusual for musicians in this era. Everybody's got facial hair. 616 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,800 Really, I just shaved this morning. I can't. I can't grow beard. 617 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,199 I can do like this really with patch thing. Yeah, past that 618 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,920 and nothing. It just grows in patchy and goofy and nope, I gotta 619 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,599 take it off. You guys are young. Eventually that see facial harold start 620 00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:05,559 to show up. Probably we're really young. So yeah, yeah. One 621 00:49:05,639 --> 00:49:09,280 of them was saying that, uh uh yes you James, Uh you could 622 00:49:09,559 --> 00:49:15,599 rock a handlebar mustache.

Why is it called unorriginal? I think so. I actually 632 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,320 didn't write this song. This is the only song on the album that I 633 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,119 didn't write wrote it, and I I think he wrote it. I think 634 00:50:00,159 --> 00:50:04,800 he called it unoriginal because it was kind of a play on a Rex Orange 635 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:09,480 County thing that we were doing, like oh, what's the typical like indie 636 00:50:09,639 --> 00:50:13,840 poppy, like I love my girlfriend's song. Yeah, and this is what 637 00:50:14,159 --> 00:50:16,079 he ended up coming up with.
