How are you guys? We're doing good, let's see. 28 00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:30,520 So let's start. Quentin, what do you do in the band Almost Honest? 29 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,639 I beat the skins, I am the drummer, do a little backing 30 00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:38,159 vocals, but mostly just rhythm, all right, and Garrett mostly here for 31 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,560 a moral support, but I also be ah, okay, I'm also a 32 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:47,159 bass player, so I understand the moral support that's important. And David, 33 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,879 I play guitar and do backing vocals to the best of my limited ability. 34 00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:57,919 All right, very good, very good. And Shane and I play guitar 35 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,439 and I sing to the best of my ability. Yes, very good, 36 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,639 very good. You guys. I love your sound. You've got a great 37 00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:07,080 sound. Where we are going to play some of your music today. But 38 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,639 first of all, I have to ask you about the name almost Honest? 39 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,919 Where does that come from? When I hear almost honest, the first thing 40 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,800 I think of is Mega Death because of the song almost Honest. But yes, 41 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:22,199 we get that all the time. It is actually a coincidence. So 42 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,759 we have been a banned since twenty twelve, and we just thought the name 43 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,199 sounded cool. I can't quite remember the origins of it, but it was 44 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,560 just almost honest. That has a nice ring to it. It does. 45 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,080 It was only afterwards where a ton of people are like, oh, are 46 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,439 you like a Megadeath cover band? Or do you really like that song? 47 00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:43,639 And everything We're like what And then we looked it up afterward, But yeah, 48 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,800 it wasn't wasn't intentional. It was just more just rolled off the tongue. 49 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:51,199 But yeah, yeah, and tell us about So we're going to play 50 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,960 a couple of things today, maybe a few things from the hecks of Penn's 51 00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:58,680 Woods the album. And you guys are from Pennsylvania, correct, yes, 52 00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:04,039 yeah, tell us about the album. So the album is just everything all 53 00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,520 encompassing of Pennsylvania. So it just takes all of our folklore, mythology. 54 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,279 It just cryptids all of that stuff into one neat package, including some stuff 55 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,240 that we made up. So just come. For example, we have a 56 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,279 song one there called Amish Hes. So we live York County and Lancaster County, 57 00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:29,519 so we're around the Amish a lot. So we wrote a story about 58 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,439 an Amish individual, but we thought it'd be interesting if we made them a 59 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,399 wizard as well, just to kind of play into that. And we have 60 00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:39,959 a music video for that. So just a lot of Pennsylvania, Dutch imagery, 61 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,079 hex signs, all that good stuff. Yeah, I'm curious, So 62 00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:49,639 are any of you or have any of you ever been Amish? We have 63 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:59,199 not. Maybe I'm on rum Springer right now. Actually herena what Springer. 64 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,920 That's when the I think when they turn a certain age, they're allowed to 65 00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:08,199 go out and experience the English world. Aside whether they want to remain am 66 00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:13,839 sure or go back out. Oh okay, oh very good. So no, 67 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,000 I'm not. Yeah, I don't know a lot about Amish culture except 68 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,160 for and this is and I'm sure you guys have heard this before, and 69 00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:27,040 this is uh, it's almost cliche. It's embarrassing to admit this. But 70 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,800 years ago, it's probably more than ten years ago, I stumbled upon the 71 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,319 show completely by accident, when I still had cable. I stumbled upon the 72 00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:43,560 show Amish Mafia. And that's I'm also very aware that it took just you 73 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,199 know, two or three minutes of quick research online to realize the show is 74 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,040 basically fake. Yes, but creative liberties there. Oh yeah, Well, 75 00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:53,800 in fact, I mean you can you can find the people who are in 76 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,160 the show. I mean they're they're actors, like, you can actually find 77 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,759 them online. I think that Levin and Levi guy might have been halfway legit. 78 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,560 But but yeah, that's about as much as I know. But what 79 00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:08,600 I got, you guys interested in doing something that kind of relates to Amish 80 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,720 culture with these songs and obviously adding your own sort of mythology into it. 81 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,839 I think it was more just you know, we wanted to differentiate ourselves from 82 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,040 a lot of bands, especially in our genre, because we feel like it's 83 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,959 it's oversaturated with a lot of certain themes. So we still wanted to take 84 00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:30,079 kind of, like, you know, the cliches that you would say for 85 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,040 a genre and just kind of make a twist on it. Yeah, and 86 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,800 you know, we're in a i think a unique location in the United States 87 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,720 where we can kind of bring things that we see in our everyday lives and 88 00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:43,600 kind of bring that to people and make them aware of things that they wouldn't 89 00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:45,839 be aware of, because just because it's, like, you know, normal 90 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,240 for us to be around, doesn't mean it is for everyone else. So 91 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,720 just kind of bringing that unique story to people. Yeah, well, let's 92 00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:56,279 play that track, Amish Hecks And Yeah, this is really good and I 93 00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:59,600 love your sound and you guys do sound a little different, which is cool. 94 00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:02,519 I wouldn't even well, we'll talk about it on the other side of 95 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,959 the track, but I really like this a lot, So let's give this 96 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,720 a listen. This is Amish Amish hecksh the band is almost honest and they 97 00:07:09,720 --> 00:08:20,360 are here with us live in studio. Check check this out, Food Magi 98 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:33,399 Out Time, Glas Country Go Scot did this so fake gone sit down, 99 00:08:33,919 --> 00:09:26,919 snare go side, I go o you hay all the god less don't see 100 00:09:28,639 --> 00:10:56,879 like don't s s blackle a, I A A You'll be on my word. 101 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,960 That is Amish hecks. The band is almost honest, and they're here 102 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,440 with us live in studio. They're gonna be playing a big show tonight at 103 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:30,279 Terminus in Nashua. And yeah, I really like that that track a lot. 104 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,799 We've got Quentin, Garrett, David and Shane here from the band almost 105 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,799 honest? Has it always been the four of you? Is this always been 106 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,000 the lineup? Or no it hasn't. Actually, in twenty twelve it was 107 00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:48,879 actually Shane and David and two other members. And interestingly enough, David ended 108 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,200 up going to college and didn't rejoin until just a few years ago. Oh 109 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:58,799 so, so he is original, but also it's not been here a time. 110 00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:03,960 And then and then Garrett is actually my brother, my little brother, 111 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,039 Harron. Ok. So, our bass player was with us for about ten 112 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,360 years and he decided to move to Maine with his wife and stuff. So 113 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,960 yeah, in twenty twenty one, I basically texted him and I said, 114 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,960 hey, do you want to learn bass? And here he is. Oh, 115 00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:22,679 very good, very good, excellent. Did you guys grow up playing 116 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,440 music together or yeah? I mean my mom drove me to band practice. 117 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,600 Yeah, so we were in I was in early high school when I joined. 118 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,799 Okay, okay, but did you guys ever play together growing up, 119 00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:41,240 like like making songs or a little bit a little bit drums and trumpet didn't 120 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,720 go well together all the time. Oh no, o kidding? So you 121 00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:48,519 started on trumpet? Yeah, yeah, I can see where that wouldn't necessarily 122 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:54,919 work. No, that's cool though, that's cool. So twenty twelve is 123 00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:58,399 that when the band started originally? Yes, okay, okay, Yeah, 124 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,519 so it's been a while. Well that's good. That's good. A lot 125 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,919 of bands don't last that long. So that's uh, that's excellent. Shane. 126 00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:07,639 You were saying something too about where where you guys recorded this. Did 127 00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:11,039 you record the whole album in the place that you were talking about? We 128 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,240 did recorded it at rock Lid. It's it's just a big rock complex where 129 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,360 they have everything music there. They have music shops, they have a hotel 130 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,039 if you're from out of town. They build stages there. I think there's 131 00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:28,080 a company that builds like cables. They have studios. So it's just it's 132 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,360 and it's massive, and it's just surrounded by farmland. So you'll be driving 133 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:35,519 through farmland for a while and then you just see these giant black boxes appear 134 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:41,720 out of nowhere and it's a cool place. I imagine a lot of people 135 00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:43,639 work there, it must be. It sounds like it probably, whereas it's 136 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:48,399 surrounded by farmland, it probably really that place probably supports the local community there. 137 00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:52,399 It definitely does, because the complex itself also has like I think it 138 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,960 has like a restaurant, it has a coffee shop, healthcare there is. 139 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,320 Yeah, it's a one stop shop. And I know some larger artists go 140 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,080 there just because of location too. I mean it's about like two and a 141 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,080 half hours from Philly, three from New York City, three from Pittsburgh, 142 00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:13,679 which is very centralized. Yeah, and it has all the amenities you need 143 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,759 for like, especially for larger artists. So as far as I'm aware, 144 00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:20,840 I know, like a Green Day tailor, swift and stuff have gone there 145 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,240 for like, have stages being built. I know, like Justin Bieber was 146 00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:28,039 in the studio at one point to doing something. So it's a it's a 147 00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:30,840 pretty big thing and it was cool to be a part of that. Yeah, 148 00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:35,000 no doubt you recorded the whole album there, yes, yeah. And 149 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,919 by the way, so this is something that comes up a lot on the 150 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,000 show because you know, we live in a time where with the Internet, 151 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,519 you have a lot of different ways to release music. Why did you guys 152 00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:48,399 decide to do a full album because a lot of artists just release singles or 153 00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:52,120 they just do an EP, like what went into that decision? I think 154 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:54,720 it's more just at least more, I guess more for myself. I can't 155 00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,679 speak for you guys, but at least for me growing up, that was 156 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,320 my big thing listening to and I still do. Like I listen to CDs, 157 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,679 I buy full records, and I just listen to it from start to 158 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,679 finish. That's not how music is consumed today, but that's personally how I 159 00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:13,799 do it. So I really like having things being tailored for a full experience, 160 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,000 listening from start to end, and I just really like that process. 161 00:15:16,279 --> 00:15:20,600 Yeah. Yeah, well, I think a lot of people do still consume 162 00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:24,320 music that way because CDs are still around, you know, and vinyl of 163 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,720 course, which never really went away. Although I think a lot of people 164 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,879 who buy vinyl now I think they buy it but don't necessarily open it because 165 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:33,639 they you know, if they really love an artist, they'll buy the vinyl 166 00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:39,240 release just just to collect it. But yeah, we've had on the show 167 00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:43,879 like Cody Pope and Byron g a couple of hip hop artists from from Nashville. 168 00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:48,879 Actually, you know, they they still put out physical all their music 169 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,000 they put out on physical media and different artists that they work with at their 170 00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:56,799 label because to them it's still important to have that. We even have a 171 00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:00,240 CD player here. One of our hosts, Rob as a Va, he 172 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,080 has the show here called The Granted State of Mind. He actually uses it. 173 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,120 I think he's the only one who uses that's awesome. But we do 174 00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:07,639 have a functioning CD player here the stack. But I have nothing. It's 175 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:11,480 funny though, I have nothing to play do you, Jenny? Actually I 176 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:12,919 can't even remember. Do you have anything at home to play a CD on? 177 00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:17,799 I don't have anything that at this point that I plays an actual physical 178 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,960 disc? No, yeah, yeah, I think we need one. Yeah, 179 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,440 I have a feeling I want to wreck a player. Oh really? 180 00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:32,080 Yeah? Okay, but is this your first full length as a band? 181 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,120 No, this is our third. Oh okay, So our first full length 182 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,000 was twenty seventeen Thundermouth, and then twenty nineteen Seats and Sirens, and then 183 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,919 this one, The Hexapens Woods twenty twenty three in November, and it was 184 00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:49,039 supposed to release earlier, but we started recording like we were going to record 185 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,120 in March of twenty twenty. Yeah, and you can guess what happened. 186 00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:56,399 Yeah, So just from that point, it just took way longer than it 187 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,159 should have. But we're kind of back on track now and even recording new 188 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,519 music as we speak. Oh, excellent, excellent. This obviously has kind 189 00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:08,240 of a theme to it. Uh what about your your previous releases? Do 190 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:14,160 those as well or are they more just collections of songs or they do have 191 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,720 a theme, It's not as like concise, but yeah, there's the folklore 192 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:23,319 and stuff has kind of always been. The storytelling of creatures and cryptic things 193 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,559 like that has always kind of been part of our music. I think, 194 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:33,200 okay, okay, we should uh, we should play yeah, because we're 195 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,400 gonna have time, we can we can play a few things. I do 196 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,400 want to play this other track, yeah, laughter of the deer owl. 197 00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:45,039 What what is that about? So that's one we just made up. So, 198 00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:47,400 so what it is. It's the uh, the body of a deer, 199 00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:51,920 head of an owl with fly wings and octopus tentacles, and it's a 200 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,720 creature that just roams the woods of Pennsylvania and it comes to people who have 201 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,000 basically lost everything in their lives and our hope, bliss, and it will 202 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,359 appear to them and it will share with them the secrets of the universe and 203 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,559 everything. But so that's just something we made up. But yet again, 204 00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:11,559 like the Pennsylvania imagery of just like deer deer just everywhere. If you live 205 00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:14,319 in Pennsylvania and you drive, you will hit a deer in your life. 206 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,359 It will happen. Oh no, kidding, like one hundred percent, you 207 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,480 will really, yeah, it will happen. Yeah. And it's also the 208 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:22,680 cover art for the record as well, so you can actually visualize visually see 209 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,279 this, uh, this wonderful creature as well. Oh yes, okay, 210 00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:30,880 so that's what I'm looking at on the cover. So that's a deer I 211 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,759 have to tell you though, looking at this image, the deer owl looks 212 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,640 very frightening to me, yes, but it's actually a friendly creature that's good 213 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,920 to see if you've lost everything. Well it's I don't know, or I 214 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,519 haven't thought about it, or can it be? Can it cut both ways? 215 00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:47,839 Can it also be a harbinger? If you see the deer owl, 216 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,559 you're about to lose everything, Because I have to tell you, looking at 217 00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:52,680 this image, if I saw this deer owl, I would assume that something 218 00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:56,359 horrible was about to happen to me. I mean, I guess it could 219 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,799 be. We'll just change the lore, you know, just like like I 220 00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:03,400 would see this and assume that the deer owl itself was about to kill me. 221 00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:07,480 That's how frightened I am of this image. But it's great, aren't 222 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,599 you. We go with a Francesca I can't pronounce her last name. Well, 223 00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:15,960 but it's like Venizio. She's an Italian artist. She did her last 224 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,480 record too. She's great. Yeah, yeah, no, it's cool. 225 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:21,720 It's cool. All right, Well, let's not give this a listen and 226 00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:23,839 then we'll talk about this. This is the track that really stood out to 227 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,200 me. I love this. So this is Laughter of the Deer Owl. 228 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,839 The band is almost honest. They are here with us live in studio. 229 00:19:30,119 --> 00:20:12,160 Check this out. I happy streams the tables U. My head was silver, 230 00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:22,519 my Bible, Soul, the ball, it'st to me, the bathing 231 00:20:22,720 --> 00:21:03,519 Book, the Steaming Tree. I've seen it with my my Mama. But 232 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:11,759 it's dancing. It's not aising. It can'ttvates you, that rips your whole 233 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:22,119 hour. But glass on the clacker, a testing diamond, a crown. 234 00:21:26,720 --> 00:23:44,279 I've seen it with my line with Oak. No way can't lie, No 235 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:52,119 way, can't lie, laughter of the Dear Owl. The band is almost 236 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,200 honest, and we've got the guys, I'm almost honest with us live in 237 00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,880 studio. They're going to be playing tonight at a Terminus in Nashua. I 238 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,680 love that song, and yeah, tell me about the vocals on that, 239 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,319 because as you've got a guest singer around there, we sure do. We 240 00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:12,039 were very very lucky to have Brandon Yally of Crobot do those vocals that you've 241 00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:15,319 got, those big boomy choruses there with lots and lots of layers. He 242 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:21,799 is a fantastic vocalist and he also really helped us shape that course as well. 243 00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:25,200 The chorus. Originally, and we had played it live before we recorded, 244 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,640 it was very different really, and he really helped us kind of shape 245 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,640 it out and give us some guidance on maybe how to make a chorus hit 246 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,079 harder and be more catchy, and I think it really really helped us a 247 00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:41,279 lot in the scenario. How did you come to work with him? So, 248 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,440 I honestly it was just as simple as I just reached out to him. 249 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,039 I expected nothing because they were also I mean, they're one of my 250 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,960 favorite bands and they really shaped what a live show can be like for me 251 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,480 when I went and saw them live. I was sixteen at the time and 252 00:24:56,519 --> 00:25:00,880 I saw him in a local club in Langster called the Chameleon Club and their 253 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,799 stage presence and energy. As soon as I saw that, I'm like that 254 00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:07,359 that is what our band needs to be because like that was just captivating. 255 00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:11,519 But it was just as simple as I just reached out, expected nothing. 256 00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:14,039 He got back to me and said I'd love to be a part of it. 257 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,039 Wow, And then we just worked together on it and it was you 258 00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:18,640 know, yet again, it wasn't even as simple as him just being like, 259 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,960 yeah, i'll do it out of send vocals over really quick. It 260 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,119 was like, Hey, I really like this, let's actually work on the 261 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,559 song together. It was it was so cool. Yeah, that's awesome. 262 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,200 Is his band still active. It's robots still they are. I think they 263 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,359 just got off a tour with Steel Panther and someone else. But yeah, 264 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,400 they've toured with like a Motorhead, Anthrax. They've played with a ton of 265 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,160 bands, and I believe they're currently or just finished in the studio, so 266 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,519 they should have new music coming out soon. Oh cool, cool. Do 267 00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:49,839 you guys play out a lot? Do you do? You do a lot 268 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,039 of shows? I mean, obviously, you know you came up here, 269 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,319 you're doing a lot of tour we do. We do weekenders because I mean, 270 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,559 we all have day jobs, but we play out as much as we 271 00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:03,400 can and as far as we can given our area. But we do a 272 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,480 lot of weekenders and we'll try to do like a week or two long tour 273 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,640 at some point, like every year or two so we can just get out 274 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,599 more. Yeah, we're very active. Yeah. What's the scene like where 275 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:18,799 you are in Pennsylvania? Is there a lot? It's getting better? It's 276 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:22,640 not a lot. We don't have much, but the venue we do have, 277 00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:27,160 it's called Love Drafts. Like our local spot is great. There's another 278 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:33,240 venue called h MAC who has just started bringing bigger artists there. So it's 279 00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:36,680 small, but it's way better than it was even even just five years ago, 280 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,799 so it's definitely getting better. Yeah, yeah, cool. Are there 281 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,119 bands in the area that you play with a lot? I know from my 282 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,640 own experience in bands, you know, sometimes you kind of team up and 283 00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:48,839 it happens organically. You know, you don't necessarily mean to, but I 284 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,400 end up playing with a lot of the same bands. I mean, is 285 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,039 there anybody from your area that you play with a lot? Yeah, I 286 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,079 mean we like to kind of really find anyone who can kind of fit with 287 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,319 us, but avoid hidden they're a local band with us, that great group 288 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,759 of guys they play, they make great music, and not just locally. 289 00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:07,920 I mean, we have a few a few folks even from Philly and things 290 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,480 like that that we like to jump on with a lot. The Stone Eyes 291 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,200 one of them used to be wax Brained, but they just recently have come 292 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,319 to an end unfortunate pie. So yeah, there's definitely some that we we 293 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,640 like to kind of go around with. And we've been really thankful that we've 294 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,519 been able to kind of not only musicians who make music like we do, 295 00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:30,359 but also musicians who kind of we can spend time with and you know, 296 00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:34,559 not hate right right, Yeah, yeah, no, it seems like you 297 00:27:34,599 --> 00:27:37,880 guys with your sound, would fit in with a lot of different kinds of 298 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,359 bands in terms of you know, you can. I'm sure you play bands 299 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,680 with you know, I'm sure you play shows with metal bands. I'm sure 300 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,640 you play shows with bands that are more like mainstream rock. I'm sure you 301 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,720 can. You know, you can kind of fit in a lot of different 302 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:55,319 places. But so it's it's accessible but also unique. You guys have a 303 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,240 you know, there's something unusual about your sound. By the way, I 304 00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:00,039 like the Clutch shirt. I just realized, thank you, I'm a fan 305 00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:03,599 there. We got to play a show, not with Clutch, but with 306 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,759 JP of Clutch. He was drumming for the Mike Dylan band and we got 307 00:28:07,759 --> 00:28:11,640 to play with them. Okay, that was cool. It was a small 308 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,039 club, so being that close to JP's drumming was like a thing to behold. 309 00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:21,160 I know, I know we've seen them a few times, more than 310 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,359 more than a few Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Oh didn't your you said 311 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,240 your wife message to something she did. I was supposed to let to let 312 00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:32,480 everybody know that she runs our merch and she makes all our money for us. 313 00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:37,119 Okay, well, that's important. Barry Jenny is the merch girl for 314 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:44,200 Jerry and the Scumbacks, but we never have any actual shows. That sounds 315 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,079 like a good gig. How much does it pay? Big? Nothing, 316 00:28:49,799 --> 00:28:55,039 that's right, that's right. Uh. So you guys are working on new 317 00:28:55,119 --> 00:28:57,440 music currently, we are, Yes, this one would just be an EP, 318 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,920 but we just wanted to get out something sooner since there was like a 319 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,200 big jump from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three, people had to wait. 320 00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:10,240 So yeah, they're nearing completion. Yeah, and we we love the tunes 321 00:29:10,279 --> 00:29:14,960 and actually it's been really important for us. The hex of pens Woods was 322 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,880 recorded a while ago, as we kind of talked about that process been for 323 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,839 a while. So it was really uh, Shane and I and then our 324 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,960 old bass player that made up the majority of that of that record. So 325 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,160 we're really really excited to get music out, as you know, the current 326 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:32,640 iteration of almost honest, it's it's it's been really really fun making music and 327 00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:36,559 the same place that you're recording or this place is a little it's with the 328 00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:38,079 same person, but it is a different spot. Oh well, well, 329 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,359 drums, drugs, drums. We did record drums at rock Lit it's but 330 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:47,759 everything else we recorded at like a home studio Dynamo Audio. Okay, okay, 331 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,160 is that going to give a kind of a different sound sonically or it 332 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,680 shouldn't because it's all the same gear. In fact, the drum the drums 333 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,279 sound even better, but it's like all the same gear we're using. So 334 00:29:57,319 --> 00:30:00,720 if anything it will, it would just be a slight improvement from what we 335 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:07,279 did before, but relatively the same. Okay, Okay, let's uh, 336 00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:08,799 we should play another track. Like I said, I've got your band camp 337 00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:11,079 open, what uh, what do you guys want to hear? Well, 338 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,759 so I'll I guess there's there's two things we could do. So there's Alien 339 00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:18,480 Spiders, which is more of just like a I would just say, like 340 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,960 a radio rock song. Those lyrics were written in fifth grade before like we 341 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,240 were really a band, but we wanted to just kind of write lyrics and 342 00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:30,640 do fun stuff, so they're very cheesy and corny, okay. And then 343 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:36,839 there's also Mortician Magician, which is just a wild song. It's I don't 344 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:37,880 want to say, it's like all over the place, but it goes from 345 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,440 like some groove metal elements to to funk. It has like a circus ring 346 00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:47,480 master part in it. So I will let it be your pick between those 347 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,079 two. Well, let's do that. We'll probably have time for both. 348 00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:53,960 But you've got me very curious about more Titian magicians, so we'll give this 349 00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:02,799 all. See what I did there anyway, that's opener track. No, 350 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,680 I'll check this out all right. So we've got almost honest here with us 351 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:18,200 in studio, and this is called mortician Magician. Please and gentlemen, boys 352 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,400 and girls, how we miss the greatest last short of your lives. I've 353 00:31:22,440 --> 00:32:39,200 present to you magicians can babies by shot all the deserts Uti shot moul disert 354 00:32:40,880 --> 00:33:27,839 ly three main Mo de shot Mo disert s SASI are also paid the movie 355 00:33:28,039 --> 00:34:06,079 Ski fiar Balls of the Wheels Mo shot Mo you always screaming when the mouls 356 00:34:06,200 --> 00:35:59,639 on mo dis also to the sojers you dison mounts.

Yeah, or just all of our influences 359 00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:10,400 in one song. Yeah, Yeah, it's cool though, I like it. 360 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,400 I like it. What is a mortician magician? Is that? Like 361 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:21,159 if the dear owl can't help you maybe the he will or something. Definitely 362 00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:24,239 not helping you, that's for sure. Okay, all right, the very 363 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:29,159 first line is welcome to the greatest and last show of your life. So 364 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:35,719 yeah, definitely won't help you. Okay if you are just joining us, 365 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,000 Almost Honest is here with us, alive in studio and they're going to be 366 00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:43,519 playing tonight at Terminus in Nashua, along with More than the Light who we 367 00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:46,199 had on earlier, and of course Dead Harrison I'm sure is playing tonight as 368 00:36:46,199 --> 00:36:52,039 well. A great band and such a cool venue. Are you guys now? 369 00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:53,960 Do you play out a lot? Are you doing a lot of shows 370 00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:58,960 or I know you're also recording right now, so so yeah, we usually 371 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,519 do a lot of weekenders. This one was supposed to be three shows, 372 00:37:01,519 --> 00:37:05,079 but yesterday got canceled. Oh no, so we kind of had a day 373 00:37:05,159 --> 00:37:07,519 off, so we just went to Boston and just kind of hung out. 374 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,679 But yeah, yeah, we did the Freedom Trail, cool, did all 375 00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:15,840 the touristy stuff. But yeah, we play out a lot of weekends, 376 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,239 so you know, if people want to catch us, they can be on 377 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,760 the lookout. We tour you know, all over the East Coast and if 378 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,039 someone wants us to come to their city. They can reach out and we'll 379 00:37:25,079 --> 00:37:28,920 definitely try and make it happen. Do you do, uh, do you 380 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,719 do the full album? Because you know there's whereas it's kind of a theme 381 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,440 to it. Do you do you try to do our I assume sometimes you 382 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,800 probably don't have enough time a lotted to play the whole thing, but we 383 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,440 don't. We do try and play all the tracks off the record. But 384 00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:45,239 it's not gonna happen every show, but we do at least try to mix 385 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,559 it up so where you know, if if we're relatively close by and someone 386 00:37:49,559 --> 00:37:52,039 wants to catch two shows in a you know, one back to back, 387 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,559 they're at least not going to hear the same set list every time. Oh 388 00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:59,599 that's cool. So and plus, you know, we have two other records 389 00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:01,159 and an Eat East besides this, we have a lot of music to kind 390 00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:05,440 of and we play our new songs live a lot before they come out, 391 00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:08,679 just to trial them live and see how people like them. Yeah, yeah, 392 00:38:08,679 --> 00:38:10,559 I would imagine. I mean, you guys must rehearse a lot, 393 00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:15,000 right at least with the new material because the songs are fairly complex. There's 394 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,440 some changes that are not you know, it's not your standard verse chorus versus 395 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,599 course solo course practice every week. Yeah. Yeah, we're lucky that we 396 00:38:22,639 --> 00:38:25,039 can do that, that we're all kind of close and we can practice weekly. 397 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:30,199 Yeah. No, that's good. That's good. Yeah. When I 398 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,519 was talking to No, who was it? Oh? Was more in the 399 00:38:34,559 --> 00:38:38,159 light right with the six guys in the band? Yeah? And you know, 400 00:38:38,159 --> 00:38:40,679 I used to play in bands, and the most people I was ever 401 00:38:40,679 --> 00:38:43,960 in a band with was, you know, with four other guys. I 402 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,079 was in a band at one point that was a five piece, and I 403 00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:47,639 just remember how much of a nightmare it was even with five people in a 404 00:38:47,679 --> 00:38:52,239 band, you know, trying to get you know, everyone's practice schedules and 405 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,079 and then you know, to book shows and whatnot. So it's nice that 406 00:38:54,119 --> 00:38:58,840 there's only four of you and you live fairly close together. So that's that's 407 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:06,239 good. Makes it a lot easier, right, absolutely, any kind of 408 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,079 Probably not, But I mean your music, I could see it lending itself 409 00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:15,159 to some sort of theatrics when you play live. Do you have anything like 410 00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:17,800 that or do you just kind of play the songs? Depends on the song. 411 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,760 We have some little sticks that we do. For one, the song 412 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:29,960 off of Thundermouth, Cannibal Cowboy. We wear cowboy hats for that really, 413 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,639 and then Quinton recently started wearing like a horse mask. Yeah, okay, 414 00:39:35,679 --> 00:39:39,840 he's able to play that, but basically blind. Wow, no kidding, 415 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,760 but that always gets a lot of good attention from the crowd. I bet 416 00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:46,960 and a lot. Oh no kidding. Oh that's cool, that's fun. 417 00:39:47,159 --> 00:39:51,119 That must be what that must be challenging. I mean, obviously you can 418 00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:52,599 see what you're doing. I mean you can't see what you're doing, and 419 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,840 you can do it without scene, but I would imagine it's like uncomfortable. 420 00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,679 It's it's and hearing is really weird in there too. Oh yeah, essentially, 421 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,119 I'm just lucky. We've been playing that song for a very long time, 422 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,000 very familiar to me, right right, do you ever if you're if 423 00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:10,880 you're doing that song and it's like hot, like a hot summer night, 424 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,239 do you ever think maybe not maybe not the horst mask? No, go 425 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,679 do it? You do it? Yeah, I gotta do it. Good 426 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:25,000 for you. That's awesome. Well, now I am very curious because you 427 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,320 were telling me about this other track, Alien Spiders. I'm super curious to 428 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,960 hear this now. So this was you said fifth grade? Yes? Did 429 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,159 you mean that literally? Yes? I did. Oh, but at that 430 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,960 time the lyrics were just written over corn's frequent a leash. Oh really, 431 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,199 but yes, they're all from fifth grade and they're very, very corny and 432 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:50,599 cheesy. The music itself is new, okay, same with same with the 433 00:40:50,639 --> 00:40:53,079 melodies and harmonies and all that stuff's new. But the but the lyrics were 434 00:40:53,079 --> 00:40:57,239 taken from fifth grade. Okay, all right, I'm super curious. Let's 435 00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:45,079 give this a listen. This is Alien Spiders the band. It's almost honest. 436 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:59,840 Spiders stop again, jo Jo. The song is a boring spy up? 437 00:42:00,159 --> 00:42:27,400 I did that? Seem si dog Cray didn't damn why didn't know the 438 00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:52,280 word Dailian Spiders probably get yell like shore off, break up, bag eight 439 00:42:52,480 --> 00:43:06,320 eyes too massive backs game out there but day legs, I say, you 440 00:43:08,480 --> 00:44:17,159 guys do pray? Oh my ring? Why the thank you? Sid stock 441 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:36,960 Gray, it's taking the quay te Alien and spiders probably they get chip spiders. 442 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:43,320 Probably they get shot spiders and coming, they get chop and spiders coming. 443 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:49,960 They shot spiders coming, They get chop spiders coming, They get shot 444 00:44:50,519 --> 00:45:00,199 and spiders coming, They get shot you That is alien spiders and the uh 445 00:45:00,519 --> 00:45:02,320 the band is almost honest. They're here with us live in studio. I 446 00:45:02,559 --> 00:45:06,480 like that a lot. That's fun. That's a fun song, catchy as 447 00:45:06,519 --> 00:45:10,039 hell. They're coming to get you. That's right, that's right. No, 448 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:15,000 that song, it seems like has no direct connection to the Amish, 449 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,760 or does it does not? Okay, they could when we get our almost 450 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,519 honest multiverse kind of together. Yeah, we can find ways to draw parallels. 451 00:45:22,559 --> 00:45:25,599 And if I could make a suggestion, I think you should have the 452 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:30,559 deer owl kill the alien spiders. We could, but that's going to be 453 00:45:30,599 --> 00:45:34,559 Rugaroo. And there's already a part two planned. Oh yeah, yeah, 454 00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:38,679 there's a part two. Yeah, you know about Rugaroo. You have to 455 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:46,039 wait for the two albums or three albums from now. Yeah. No, 456 00:45:46,199 --> 00:45:49,039 that's cool though. That's a fun track. I like it a lot. 457 00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:51,039 Do you play that one live? We do? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 458 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:52,239 played it? Uh well, I guess it wouldn't be last so played 459 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:57,039 it Thursday night and we will be playing it again tonight. Oh very cool, 460 00:45:57,199 --> 00:46:00,840 Very cool. If you are just doing us almost honestly here and these 461 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,360 guys are in the area because they're going to be playing tonight in Nashua at 462 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,360 Terminus And do you know how long of a set you have tonight or I 463 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:12,320 believe it's forty five minutes? Yeah, yeah, cool, excellent, excellent. 464 00:46:13,039 --> 00:46:15,039 Are you playing any of the new stuff that you've been working on? 465 00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:17,519 Are you playing any of that live or you're waiting until you haven't recorded? 466 00:46:19,599 --> 00:46:21,880 Uh? Yeah, we haven't playing it live. We will be playing it 467 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,559 live. We Uh yeah, there's no secrets. With a band of our 468 00:46:24,639 --> 00:46:30,320 size, it doesn't really matter too much. And we love playing the track, 469 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:31,760 so you know, we want to play what we love playing live. 470 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,599 So yeah, we just do. Yeah, we like getting that feedback and 471 00:46:35,679 --> 00:46:38,599 too, like if you just keep playing it so much before like you're fully 472 00:46:38,679 --> 00:46:42,880 done recording it or before you recorded it, you'll want to change things. 473 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,800 You'll get different reactions from the crowd. You know. I feel like if 474 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,679 you rush through songs, like even if they're good, they can always be 475 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:52,159 better, right, So we like playing that live gauging crowd reaction because sometimes 476 00:46:52,199 --> 00:46:54,800 too, like you can get some reactions like, ah, well maybe that 477 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,639 part didn't hit as hard as I thought it. What maybe it just needs 478 00:46:58,679 --> 00:47:00,239 to go back to the drawing board and stuff. So yeah, yeah, 479 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,719 we like doing that so you can always hear stuff from us live that you're 480 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,920 not gonna be able to hear anyway. It might not be the same next 481 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,159 time you hear it. No, that's cool. Do you guys do you 482 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:14,480 all write together? What's the creative process like as far as writing, I 483 00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:19,679 think now we are in the process of writing together. It's it's a new 484 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:24,880 experience. Yeah. In the past, it's mainly just been myself, not 485 00:47:25,039 --> 00:47:29,199 fully because I'll come with like shells. I'll have a shell of a song 486 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,679 and an idea and then you know, Quentin would have at it with the 487 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,000 drums. Like it's it's complete free reign. It's not like, hey, 488 00:47:35,079 --> 00:47:37,519 Quentin, I want you to play this. Yeah, you have a like 489 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,440 normally like lyrics and some structure and some riffs and then we kind of put 490 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,719 the rest together together. Yeah. But now it's been more everyone coming together 491 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:50,199 and working on parts and just being like, maybe, you know, maybe 492 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,840 that section shouldn't be that longer, maybe it should be longer, and just 493 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,880 adding things.
