And that is at sixty 28 00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:47,000 six Hanover Street. It's in Sweet twoh one, right on the second floor 29 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,400 there. It's easy to get to and a really cool place, so come 30 00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:54,960 and check that out. And I'm going to get these mics up because we've 31 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,400 got a great band joining us. In fact, we just played one of 32 00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:01,599 their songs, Cinnamon, but they've got a brand new studio track that we're 33 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,159 also going to be doing a premiere on in just a few minutes. But 34 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,639 we've got Vices Inc all the way from Portland Main and Hello, welcome, 35 00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:15,120 Hello, and uh we will let's start in the corner here. And because 36 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,919 I'm not gonna be able to remember everyone's names, we didn't. We did 37 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:25,120 introductions quickly between between segments, but I already am confused, so we'll start 38 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,439 with you. Tell us if you could, who you are and what you 39 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,080 do in the band. My name is Jagger. I play guitar and keyboys, 40 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,840 but mainly guitar. I guess your name's easy to remember because you don't 41 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,719 meet many Jaggers. Have you ever met another Jagger? No? On, 42 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:43,520 I haven't, but I didn't think so can't go wrong with a name like 43 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,479 that. And you I'm Eleanor. I'm the vocalist in the band. Occasionally 44 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:53,800 I'll do some like classical strings, violin viola, but oh okay, very 45 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,840 good, No love your voice. You got a great voice. And you 46 00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:59,840 Hi, I'm Christy. I played drums, okay, Christie's drums, and 47 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,120 you I'm Handi Lye. I played the bass guitar. Okay, very good. 48 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,520 I'm a bass player as well. And I'll let you introduce the gentleman 49 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,039 who is not on on a mic. That's Josh. He also plays the 50 00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:14,840 guitar. Okay, plays the lead guitar. Very good. Now, how 51 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,279 how long have you been a five piece because on the website it looks like 52 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,879 you're a trio. Yes, for about three years. We were a trio 53 00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:28,959 and then we picked up Josh earlier last year, and then we became a 54 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,759 five piece around September of last year. Okay, Now, why was that? 55 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,160 Was that? Was that a conscious decision to expand the band or was 56 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:41,399 it or was it more just organic? Originally because it was a it was 57 00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:44,720 a COVID situation, we just we weren't able to play shows and stuff, 58 00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:46,800 so we can do everything we wanted to do, like in the studio as 59 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:53,399 a three piece. And then once we started playing shows again, we decided 60 00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:55,439 that we you know, for this, you know, for us, it 61 00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:59,639 plays music live, we needed more people in the band because it's impossible for 62 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,639 us to do it has a three piece. Yeah, and then we got 63 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,040 jobs involved in it. But even furthermore, the expanded a bit more. 64 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,600 We had to have another person to add, and that's where we add. 65 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,639 Okay, all right, very good. Do you play out a lot? 66 00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:15,399 Yes, we asked you. We came of a tour last year. We're 67 00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:19,600 on tour from end of October through December, and we're gonna be on tour 68 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,000 a end in April. Okay, very good. Are you are you going 69 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,839 on? Are you going out with anybody else? Are you opening for anybody 70 00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:31,240 or opening? It's we're mostly, uh, we on the tour ourself. 71 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,439 We go buy ourselves and then we just played with you know, bands for 72 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,759 that area. Okay, so that fairies every time may place to play at 73 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,240 the ferries who were playing with Yeah, yeah, did you ever play as 74 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,959 a three piece or did you wait until you expanded the lineup? We never 75 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,360 played as a three piece? Okay, yeah, like you said, that 76 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,040 probably would have been exactly we kind of did. The first show, one 77 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:59,399 person pretended to play. Sounds sounds like there's a story here. Yeah, 78 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:02,040 I don't want to throwing money in one of the bus. But but they 79 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,439 were, you know, they weren't ready for the show, and they pretended 80 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,720 to play an instrument. And oh, we played our you know, basically 81 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,800 ourselves playing the show. But it sounds sounded good, right, we pulled 82 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,279 it off. We pulled it off for sure. But did somebody play not 83 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,319 plugged in? What do you they just pretended to play the not anyone in 84 00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:24,160 this room? Yeah, okay, people, you know, yeah, it 85 00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:28,079 just tended they were playing an instrument, but they really weren't, Like it 86 00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:32,399 was plugged in and stuff, but it was shut off. Okay, all 87 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:39,639 right, Well you have a great sound, very the songs are very catchy 88 00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:43,199 and but kind of kind of different genres too. I mean, how do 89 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,680 you how do you describe how do you describe the band? And everyone always 90 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,800 say it's a question, you know, how do you describe your own music? 91 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,319 It's it can be challenging. But but if if I'd never heard advice 92 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,120 ISNK, how would you describe it? Definitely hybrid of different styles, that's 93 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,040 for sure. Yeah, we were influenced by so much of these different styles 94 00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:00,319 of music. Yeah, and obviously you can see that. Hope, we're 95 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,959 into our the music we're recorded. But I mean, we started out as 96 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,399 a rock band, but we explained it so much more since then. But 97 00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,800 it's really really hard to peg hole that because if you really do listen to 98 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:15,160 us, it's like we could do electronic stuff and pop stuff to hard rock 99 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,399 stuff to metal. It really really raries. But I mean, I guess 100 00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:23,680 you just you know, the best term is hybrid, and we go with 101 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,319 what we feel like doing at the time. But it's but you've pulled off 102 00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:30,480 where it's you know, a hybrid is a lot of different styles, but 103 00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:34,360 it's also cohesive, sure, because when I'm listening to the songs, you 104 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,480 know, they all they all sound like the same band. Yeah everything, 105 00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:41,160 but but but but you can hear the different influences. But it's but it's 106 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:43,759 not like it's in other words, it's not like jarring, like oh now 107 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,000 they sound like this doesn't even sound like the same band. It all sounds 108 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,680 like the same man, probably partly because of the vocals are very distinct. 109 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,199 But we do try to keep it symmetric for sure, But we you you 110 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,240 know, if you go outside of our No More style, we try to 111 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,959 do a few song that match that. So it's not like you know, 112 00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:05,600 so too jarring, because otherwise how do you get into that? Right? 113 00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:09,839 Right? Yeah? Where do you record it? Is everything that you've done 114 00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:13,519 so far? Is it all recorded at the same studio or I own a 115 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,920 studio? We don't. We don't have a studio of my house. Oh 116 00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:20,639 okay. During a COVID, imit it easy because we're all oh yeah, 117 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,319 yeah, yeah. That's the thing with you know, the pandemic. It 118 00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:28,600 was awful. But but one of the excuse me, according to my sinus 119 00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:33,000 as it's already spring, uh, one of the one of the advantages, 120 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,440 I shouldn't say advantages, but you know, we have to find these silver 121 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:41,279 linings where we can. Is that it really in terms of creativity and and 122 00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:43,039 you know, just making the best of a bad situation. I feel like 123 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,440 it. It it kind of forced a lot of people to find ways to 124 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,519 create or keep working. Yeah, yeah, to keep working and and find 125 00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:56,159 you know, I had in the last hour, we had a gentleman, 126 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,600 Ray Coats uh skyping in from the UK and we were talking about that. 127 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,879 How you know, we live in an era too where you can you know, 128 00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:05,159 you can email files back and forth if you're collaborating with somebody you can 129 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,799 you can record music without even ever being in the same room, really, 130 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,039 you know, and and so and that already existed before the pandemic obviously, 131 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,919 but I think the pandemic really kind of forced people to find new ways to 132 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:22,159 approach creativity. And so, you know, a lot of great music came 133 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,200 out, you know, over the course of that. So and we we 134 00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:30,279 get tighter as a band too, Yeah, we were forced to, so, 135 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,720 no doubt. Yeah, Before we had so much on uplate, you 136 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:35,200 know, and trying to get ready for shows and all that stuff, and 137 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:39,000 we weren't really really prepared for that. But now we had all that time 138 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,360 to find a crap during studio. Wise, it's easier us to play shows 139 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:48,519 now because we have that experience. Yeah, yeah, no doubt. So 140 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,720 We've got a brand new song that you sent, which I really love. 141 00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,639 I'm looking forward to playing this and this this hasn't been played anywhere on the 142 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,120 radio, I assume yet. So this is a world radio premiere. We 143 00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:03,039 love the world radio absolutely, No, this is really cool. I like 144 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,519 this a lot. It's called Regret Me and anything you want us to know 145 00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:11,759 about this before we play it. We're trying to get onto a festival called 146 00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:20,039 Smoke Out Thank you because we want to get barbecue. But this is part 147 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,799 of our audition. I guess you could say, oh, okay, this 148 00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:26,279 is one of the songs for it. So I say we can if we 149 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:31,159 were able to fit into what they were looking for. Oh so we think 150 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,559 we uh you know, we did what they wanted to do. Yeah, 151 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,720 we're proud of it. Have you do you know if have you heard? 152 00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:39,840 It's looking good good? We're gonna find out really really soon. Yeah, 153 00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:43,399 yeah, excellent. All right, Maybe maybe this is what's going to put 154 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:48,080 it on the top right here. Maybe maybe No, I really like this. 155 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,120 This is really good. All right, let's give this a listen. 156 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:54,559 This is called Regret Me.

Regret How 171 00:14:56,159 --> 00:15:01,200 is the world radio premiere of Regret Me? From Vices Inc? And we 172 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,960 have Vices Inc. With us live in studio and yeah, great, great 173 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:11,799 track. They be what's the smoke out? Something windy city smokeout, Windy 174 00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:13,960 city smoke out. They have to say yes, And there's lots of barbecue 175 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,200 there, so if they just give us barbecue, we'll be content with that. 176 00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:22,879 Well, you just still want you want to play too, we play. 177 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,559 You don't want it, you don't want just go there for the barbecue. 178 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,799 Let's not close any doors, right right? Okay, all right? 179 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,679 Fair enough? Had the US enough barbecue to take home too. This is 180 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,919 the key, yeah, for us all we want and then take them home 181 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,799 or okay, if we don't play well okay, I mean if you're if 182 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,799 the title your festival has smoke out, it's got to be really good barbecue, 183 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:50,360 right and then I mean I could be wrong, but I am thinking 184 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,000 that you know what you're doing? Yeah, yeah, you kind of yeah. 185 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,279 And then with this, this this festival, it's not our star of 186 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:03,440 music. It's actually more in the countryside. Okay, I think are really 187 00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:06,799 huge acts. I mean really a little bit of twang in that guitar, 188 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,960 so we get it. That was intentional, okay, Okay, in a 189 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,480 purpose. Yeah, yeah, No, that's that's really good. That's really 190 00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:15,960 good. I like that song a lot, regret me. So that's not 191 00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:18,200 available anywhere yet? Is that on an upcoming album or it's not going to 192 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,960 be on an album? It's you can you can buy a line. Okay. 193 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:26,360 It is out as a single, yes, but it wasn't uh you 194 00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:29,080 know, play on anthonology yet, you know, yeah, but but yeah, 195 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,080 it's just it's just a single that if you want it, you can 196 00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,440 get it. You're not okay, some of stuff there you can get it. 197 00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:38,600 How many albums do you have out as a band. You've got you've 198 00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:41,120 got a lot of material or sick, Wow, we have six. I 199 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,480 think you've been productive. Yeah, and we got a lot more in the 200 00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:48,679 can waiting and when once I almost finished and stuff. So yeah, we've 201 00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:55,440 got enough material to the last put in us sixty five years probably probably more. 202 00:16:56,519 --> 00:17:00,720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, we just I never step pride in and 203 00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:06,839 they are to because of it, because maybe other week we gotta do an 204 00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:10,920 album. Here you go, guys, let's do us. Who writes the 205 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,119 lyrics? Do you write the lyrics? Yeah? I write the majority of 206 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,680 the lyrics. Occasionally will collaborate or if Jag has something that he kind of 207 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,119 had in mind when he wrote the song, yeah, like riff off of 208 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,759 that. But yeah, yeah, I like the uh a lot of them. 209 00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:32,480 They sound like there's a little bit of like like sort of the ending 210 00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:37,039 of a relationship vibe to them. Yeah. Any lyrics that sounding challenging, 211 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,079 it's definitely from her. Yeah. No, they're good. They're very good. 212 00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:47,359 They're clever and uh yeah no, can you tell me about you? 213 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,160 Your vocals remind me of someone, but I can't quite put my finger on 214 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,640 who. So I'll let me ask you this. Who are your influences in 215 00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:59,440 terms of your approach to singing? Oh gosh, I have a lot. 216 00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:03,759 I think Hayley Williams of Paramore. Yeah, I can hear that. Yeah, 217 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,680 obvious one. I love her everything. I really love Lady Gaga. 218 00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:14,759 I have a lot of like pop influences. Demie Levado, it's a big 219 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:19,680 one for me. Brendan Yuri from Panic at the Disco I love and uh 220 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:26,440 lyrically, I really look up to Josh Katz from Bad Flower. They're kind 221 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,759 of like, uh like lesser known but still very successful. I was gonna 222 00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:37,559 say, I'm not familiar. They're probably my favorite band. I've gone to 223 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:41,039 see them several times. Like you know, vocal wise, Bob Dylan, 224 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:48,440 Yeah yeah, oh yeah, Bob. No. But bad Flower they put 225 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,839 a lot of like story into their lyrics, and I just love like the 226 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,319 creativity and what they do. Now, are there backing vocals live? Do 227 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,519 any of you? We haven't done that yet. I'm sorry, that's okay, 228 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,880 not yet, but we're working on it. Yeah yeah, cool? 229 00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:10,240 Cool? And what does anybody else have influences? They want to mention because 230 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,240 obviously, you know, like we talked about earlier. There's a lot of 231 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,400 different you can hear different influences in the band, or we'll go with Christy 232 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,680 Why Yeah, sure, I have a lot of like pop punk influences for 233 00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:22,319 my drumming, like Cool from Green Day, but Travis Barker of course. 234 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:30,599 Then also like classic rock like Russia and Parent Metallica, anything, I kinda 235 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,319 I kind of go all over the other place as far as like my genres 236 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:37,039 as well. Yeah, yeah, the drums sound really good on these on 237 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,200 the songs. Yeah, it's it's the way that you know the mixing and 238 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,200 do you do all the mixing and everything or no, that's done in my 239 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,920 brother's studio. Oh oh in the Netherlands. Oh no, kidding, So 240 00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:52,839 he does that. We have a guy that physically works for us for us. 241 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,799 He's like, no, Boris, can we mix this? No, 242 00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:07,920 he's angry all the time. That wasn't anything. He says, what your 243 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,559 influences. My influence is usually in like the progressive rock field. I like 244 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:19,319 Rush, Saga, Sticks, stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, so 245 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,920 it's you know, and obviously with the group of you, you all bring 246 00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:30,000 you all bring bring in different things. But now so the the music who 247 00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:34,880 writes the music? Do you write everything? Yeah? Does anybody else contribute? 248 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,200 Or well? I bring in basically I bring in it. It depends 249 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,759 how the situation is. Sometimes I got full fledged ideas all set and this 250 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,720 is you know, and we're bringing into the band otherwise or otherwise I bring 251 00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:49,960 in a basic idea and each person brings, you know, puts it parts 252 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,079 to it. Yeah. I don't dictate what you know unless I don't really 253 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,039 don't like it. I'm like, hey, Christy, that sucks, Please 254 00:20:57,039 --> 00:21:03,119 don't do that on the drums, right, But usually that's the case, 255 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,359 or if the song's already recorded, I like it. We have a live 256 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,160 version of it, which is different, and then I don't really tell people 257 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,559 what to doing that. Like Josh would come up with some leads, and 258 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,000 long as they don't get in my way, right, don't get in my 259 00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:18,400 way, right right, don't get my way or getting in her way, 260 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,319 it's okay. So a lot of my music is different for live because I 261 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,599 just don't want to be like the same. Then you can hear live unless 262 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,200 the song calls for it. Yeah. I think that's cool because a lot 263 00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:34,799 of a lot of musicians approach it kind of the opposite way, where it's 264 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:44,039 like it's very important to to some people to recreate live what you hear on 265 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,839 the recording. And I'm my attitude has always been I already not it sounds 266 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,119 like on the recording, you know, if there's you know, what's wrong 267 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,559 with some surprises, if it's a little bit different live, you know what 268 00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:56,039 I mean? You want to make it more organic in that sense. Yeah, 269 00:21:56,039 --> 00:22:00,960 but it's also like it's just it's just okay. Some some songs, 270 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:06,039 there's so much going on that we didn't exactly what record and we need backtracks 271 00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:07,680 and stuff like that. Yeah, or an orchestra, and that's not gonna 272 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,200 happen, right. You know a lot of these songs, I play guitar 273 00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:15,200 and keyboards in it, and it's like I can't do both. I don't 274 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,359 have four arms. So it's yeah, you go pick a choose. And 275 00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:21,160 we decided this is going to be the lineup. We're not going to add 276 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,119 any more people because otherwise we would be like earth winder fire, right, 277 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,359 So that's then the reason why too. But it's also it's fun changing it 278 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,160 up a little bit. Yeah, there's some songs that were more strict towards 279 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,359 being how it sounded recording wise, just because it calls for it. Yeah. 280 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,960 Yeah, I mean if if something sounds different, you know, because 281 00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:42,039 you'll off in your bands say too, well, you know, we have 282 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,039 to we have to replicate what we did in the studio, and if that, 283 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,480 you know, maybe we need backing tracks or some kind of additional technology. 284 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,960 And it's like, what's wrong with letting it sound a little more stripped 285 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,759 down, a little more raw when it's live. You know, it's so 286 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,960 so I I like, I like your approach. I think that's cool. 287 00:22:57,279 --> 00:23:00,359 Do you have any like on YouTube? Do you have any live performances on 288 00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:03,559 up on YouTuber? Is that only studio stuff? Yes, we do it 289 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,200 actually if you want to check us out live. Recently we were on a 290 00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:11,559 Dan Casman show and it's a night time night show. Yeah, and we 291 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,759 played live on that and actually go on their website you can see us play 292 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:21,160 giving in but not giving up live. Yeah. But yeah, this there's 293 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,920 there's there's actually a full concert that Joshua have recorded for us that's on his 294 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:33,640 channel somewhere that it's actually from Kentucky right from the mag Bar. And it 295 00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:36,279 was a good show. So you want to see that that's like a whole 296 00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:38,319 live set. I mean that edited, it's raw footage. Yeah, yeah, 297 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,119 we're pretty proud of it. But you know, people might upload stuff, 298 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,160 but for us, you know, we have not uploaded ourselves any concert 299 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:52,559 footage to the our YouTube yet. One day we will. But if you 300 00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:55,319 want to watch a good you know, footage of us from you know, 301 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,240 we're good cameras and stuff like that and good sound checking out the Dan Castman 302 00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:03,920 show called Danny Cashman Dan Danny called Night Night, Night Show, The Night 303 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,319 Show, the Night Show with Danny Cashman, which is you know, it's 304 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,680 cool because we're on TV and stuff for that. Oh that is cool. 305 00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:11,799 Yeah, you know when you said night show, I thought you meant it 306 00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:17,559 was on at night, but that's actually the name. Yeah, we're actually 307 00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:22,720 gonna be uh that's good advertising. It could be coming out pretty soon on 308 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:27,000 that yeah oh really yeah, yeah, we we we recorded three songs on 309 00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:33,119 there, and one was broadcast a few days after we performed. One was 310 00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:36,519 just for the website, and then one's could be later on kind of then, 311 00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:40,240 which is coming up now actually in a few weeks. Well, why 312 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,000 don't we since you mentioned the song, why don't we why don't we play 313 00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:45,680 that, like Cyanide? What what should we know about this? Anything? 314 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,759 Anything you want us to know about the song? It's it's one of the 315 00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:51,559 first songs we wrote for the new album. Oh really, okay, I 316 00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:55,640 dreamed it, right, and I dreamed it and then hummed it out. 317 00:24:55,759 --> 00:24:57,279 And it's like I called her up as Christian is, like, you're gonna 318 00:24:57,319 --> 00:25:02,839 get your butt down here, and what's some drums? And I started working 319 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,319 with her Josh watching the Shawa and here's the here, here's us plainness and 320 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,200 he runs downstairs and we just clicked it together. But it was just like, 321 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,319 I want to try a different sound, and that's what we did with 322 00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:18,400 this new album coming out. It's it's the approach for it. It's just 323 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,519 more turned. If I guess this is on the new one. That's and 324 00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:25,920 it's actually influenced by bad Flower, to be honest, because she got me 325 00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:30,319 into it. Unfortunately. Now, I just wanted to, you know. 326 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:36,160 And plus we were working on Radiohead stuff, so that effects and atmosphere kind 327 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,519 of stuff going on. Oh okay, and that's what got me into it. 328 00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:41,119 Yeah, I know what to mean because obviously I've heard and I yeah, 329 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:41,839 I like this one a lot.

Actually, Christy over there designed it. She 424 00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:43,960 gots some skills there and put it together. Excellent, excellent. By the 425 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,519 way, where does the name come from? Visus Inc? Where Okay, 426 00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:51,719 so it's from her song. We we literally we had no name for a 427 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,400 long time and I wrote a song called Vice's Inc. And we were looking 428 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,679 for a name. The first thing I did was to see if these pages 429 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,280 they were available in dot coms. So I had all these different names. 430 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:06,320 That's very smart because not everyone and by not everyone, I mean a lot 431 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,320 of people don't even think to do the basic, you know, making sure 432 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,920 it's available. Be shocked how many names are parked and they want you to 433 00:37:14,039 --> 00:37:17,800 pay like six thousand dollars. So I just said, I just said, 434 00:37:19,079 --> 00:37:22,400 there's no way advices ink is not taken. It's like it's no, but 435 00:37:22,519 --> 00:37:24,880 it wasn't. And it's like, okay, well that missed be a sign, 436 00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:29,480 right, yeah? Cool? You know, and we we have literally 437 00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:31,039 no vices at all in this band, so it's kind of it's kind of 438 00:37:31,159 --> 00:37:34,960 you know, to speak for us. You know, well we like food. 439 00:37:35,079 --> 00:37:36,960 But other than that, yeah, we're not. You know, we're 440 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,599 not you know, you know we're not. We don't do crime, you 441 00:37:38,679 --> 00:37:43,559 know, well besides her do. Yeah. But I mean the biggest thing 442 00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:47,559 we do is eat food and play Pokemon Goalt Pokemon Go sponsor us because I 443 00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:51,679 just did your name on there, Pokemon Go sponsor us please. Yeah. 444 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,559 So so yeah, we just eat a lot of food, I guess it. 445 00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:00,679 Uh, And you know, make touch music. That's good vice a 446 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:01,519 little bit too right, Yeah, yeah, well there you go. But 447 00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:06,760 there's no drugs, it's no anything crazy, so no caffeine addiction. Come 448 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,960 on, well, I that's advice. I used to be but I said 449 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,280 in May. In May, and I totally stopped rinking caffeine, no kidding 450 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:20,400 soda. So yeah, so since May crazy, right, So I don't 451 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,000 have that problem. Maybe Joshua does. He is a caffeine problem. Oh 452 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,960 most Americans too. But that's all right, yeah, I mean there are 453 00:38:30,039 --> 00:38:35,079 there are far worse advices than that. So yeah, no, it's good 454 00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:37,559 that you did the due diligence, so making sure that that was available, 455 00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:39,199 you know. Yeah, I'm just trying to think ahead, you know, 456 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,159 just a case, because otherwise how do you promote that? Right? Get 457 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:49,840 like vices in dot band dot you know, your brother dot com, you 458 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,480 know. And I didn't want to do all that. I wanted something that's 459 00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:55,360 easy to find, easy to read. I have a friend. I've told 460 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,480 this story on the air before, but more of an anecdote. But I 461 00:38:58,559 --> 00:39:00,559 have this friend who and I won't say his name, but although if he 462 00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:04,280 happens to be listening, he'll know I'm talking about him at this friend. 463 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,760 I went to high school with very talented guitarist and he I ran into him 464 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:08,639 a couple of years after hig school, hadn't seen him for a while, 465 00:39:08,639 --> 00:39:10,400 and he said he had a new band. And I said, Oh, 466 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,519 what's the band? And he said it's called Intuition. I remember he said 467 00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:17,719 that to me, and I'm thinking it's got to be how many other bands 468 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,119 have already used that name? I swear to god. I run into him 469 00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:23,280 like six months later. I said, how's the band? He said, 470 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,760 good, but we had to change our name. We we got a ce 471 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:31,920 some assist letter from a cover band in Massachusetts using the name Intuition. Well, 472 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,159 yeah, of course it sounds like somebody's glam rock band in a ways, 473 00:39:36,199 --> 00:39:38,159 Intuition. It's it's just it's just so it's too obvious. It's probably 474 00:39:38,199 --> 00:39:40,599 been a million bands that have used that name, and it's like, oh, 475 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,800 what are you doing? You know? But no, So it's good 476 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,280 that you uh, it's good that you made sure we should play another track. 477 00:39:52,639 --> 00:39:54,320 What do you have a request? What would uh? What should we 478 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,159 go with? I'd love to share another studio track. I really like all 479 00:39:59,199 --> 00:40:01,159 of these to be honest, you never going to catch us. Now. 480 00:40:05,199 --> 00:40:07,320 I don't have that one. I mean I think I think you sent it, 481 00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:13,000 but I I went by the the ones I have ready to go are 482 00:40:13,039 --> 00:40:15,519 the ones because there were specific tracks that you said you were kind of focused 483 00:40:15,559 --> 00:40:19,840 on. I don't have that one on that list, so I didn't include 484 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,719 that. Yeah, well what about Oh we didn't play given in but not 485 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:28,000 giving Up?

All the way from Portland, Maine with us here live in studio 537 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,360 and uh yeah, I was commenting while I was playing. I think, 538 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,360 I mean that would be I could imagine that doing pretty well at college radio. 539 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,119 I don't know if you've sent any if you've submitted anything, No, 540 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,920 we we we haven't set it'd be a good single. I was waiting for 541 00:47:05,039 --> 00:47:07,800 echelone Kiss to come out before we heavily promoted it. Yeah, and so 542 00:47:09,159 --> 00:47:13,360 yeah, so we've kind of not done yet that yet. Yeah, only 543 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,079 songs just you know, you know, got popular, like you look on 544 00:47:16,199 --> 00:47:22,960 our top five. Full Personality Cinnamon are on a top five just because people 545 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,360 liked it. Yeah, but we didn't heavily promote it at all. We 546 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:30,239 haven't haven't promoted acelone Kiss at all yet. Yeah, yeah, when's it 547 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,559 coming out again? June? April April? We actually April that soon. 548 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,679 Two albums coming out this year, one called One's called Achelone Kiss and then 549 00:47:37,679 --> 00:47:42,480 another one's gonna be called While You Wait, which was supposed to come out 550 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,159 before Kiss came out, but I changed my mind about it. Oh well, 551 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,159 no, why is that one? Because we were on tour and I 552 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,280 was overwhelmed and they needed a break and we all needed a break, and 553 00:47:54,280 --> 00:48:01,840 we it's it's a combination of our normal style with maybe a Midwest evil thing 554 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:06,320 going on, and I thought it just wasn't the time for it. Yeah, 555 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,480 I thought, I've only Kiss should be our focus, and that's that's 556 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:13,679 the reason why. Yeah, I thought it just felt like a summertime then 557 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,519 really yeah, I know that makes any sense, but no, it does. 558 00:48:15,639 --> 00:48:20,320 It definitely does get more a fun pop album. Wow, I've gone 559 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,519 Kiss is more darker, yeah you know, yeah moody. Yeah, Oh 560 00:48:23,679 --> 00:48:28,960 very cool. Now are you doing a lot of shows before the festival or 561 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,239 are you kind of focused on the Eleanor has a lot of work to do 562 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,480 with Vocal Buys, so she needs the time to get ready and she's actually 563 00:48:35,519 --> 00:48:39,480 making a film right now too. Oh and she's wasn't a film a lot 564 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,880 in two without twenty two books. And we actually did songs for that album 565 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:51,719 for that songtrack, and she's doing the sequel to that now what's it called 566 00:48:52,119 --> 00:48:55,639 called Black Castles? Okay, so she needs time for that. Yeah, 567 00:48:55,639 --> 00:49:00,840 And she'll talk more about you want or to And so she's getting you know, 568 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:05,599 doing vocals, going kids album down himself and then working on that. 569 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,000 So she's got a lot of stuff on her plate. Oh okay, yeah, 570 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:13,360 I am curious here more about that. Yeah. So my friend Robert 571 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:20,159 has a film company that he started himself called Accented Films, so local to 572 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,519 New Hampshire. And then he actually has partnered with some other New Hampshire filmmakers 573 00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:30,599 and he set up a streaming streaming platform called Sparrow. Okay, so we've 574 00:49:30,679 --> 00:49:37,559 been focused on like creating content for Sparrow and collecting content from other creators, 575 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,519 getting that all on there. So I've been helping him out with that a 576 00:49:39,559 --> 00:49:45,480 little bit, and then we're gearing up to start like filming for Black Castles. 577 00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:52,119 He finished the the U screenplay and it's it's awesome. I'm like so 578 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:59,519 so excited. We're trying some more like some bigger stunts and stuff like that. 579 00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:02,159 So is this a sequel to the other movie? So what what's the 580 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:10,000 premise? So Rooks is about It's kind of like a sci fi sort of 581 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:16,840 premise, but it's about this group of eight people who have each have special 582 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:25,239 abilities, so superpowers, but not not like they're all like kind of scientifically 583 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:30,559 explained. So it's like a little bit grounded, very dramatic, serious, 584 00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:36,719 but it ends up being kind of like a spy thriller. It's it's very 585 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,400 cool, Okay. Plus well, I wanted to mention that I hated some 586 00:50:39,599 --> 00:50:45,800 short films based off of the movie itself, which are going to be premiered 587 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:50,440 in March, which I have ever talked about too, sorting a premiere event 588 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,840 in March for the four short films, and they're also going to be available 589 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:59,800 on Sparrow. And I directed one of the short films as well as I 590 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:01,440 was in one of the other ones. But the one that I directed, 591 00:51:01,519 --> 00:51:15,239 I had Jagger do the score for cool Wow, It's all disco. Oh 592 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,440 very cool. So now so Rooks that's currently available, people can see that 593 00:51:19,599 --> 00:51:22,039 okay, and that's on Sparrow. It's on Sparrow. It's also available on 594 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:29,800 Prime Video. Okay, okay, very cool. Totally filmed in New Hampshire, 595 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,280 or I believe, so. I think it's all very local. So 596 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,039 I want to say, all in New Hampshire. Maybe we did some in 597 00:51:38,159 --> 00:51:43,440 Maine, Massachusetts and I'm not remembering, but yeah, a lot of stuff 598 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:49,440 in Portsmouth. We went up to northern New Hampshire. I forget the name 599 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,480 of the town. Yeah, for quite a bit of it too.
