Well, 51 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,480 before we do that, let's uh, let's start with you, because 52 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,079 you've been here before.

I'm Martin. I do vocals and I write 55 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,759 the lyric. All right, welcome back. I'm Zoe and I play guitar 56 00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:22,319 and do backing vocals. Okay, I'm James and I normally play guitar, 57 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:26,800 but today I'm playing banjo.

I'm Joel, I play bass and I 62 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,440 have voice cracks apparently. Well, well it is the morning and way too 63 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,320 early. Yeah, I'm going to assume that you're all not necessarily used to 64 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,559 playing live at nine am. No, we've played at four am in the 65 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,240 middle New York City. The show. Yeah it was terrible, Yeah, 66 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,679 terrible. Wait is this the story it is? Yeah, oh, let's 67 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,799 hear it. We like stories. We like stories. We went on tour 68 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,200 with Sauce on the side. Actually last year. It was the tour that 69 00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:18,279 I think when we were on the show last year we were talking about it, 70 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,320 and we went on tour and we played this show in New York and 71 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,120 Brooklyn and the show started at twelve thirty in the morning. That was the 72 00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:31,879 start time. Yeah, yeah, that's not unusual for New York. No, 73 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,600 it wasn't. And it was actually the best attended show we've ever played 74 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,919 in New York. Oh wow. But there was a homeless man who went 75 00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:43,480 up to Zoe our guitargy. No, it wasn't a homeless dude. He 76 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,200 he was just wearing the weirdest fit. He had one of like his. 77 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,759 In New York they all have those like kaki sort of like trench coats that 78 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,399 they all wear with whatever. Yeah, And he had a drink in his 79 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,240 hand and flip flops on his feet and at that time, I had been 80 00:09:56,879 --> 00:09:58,799 working at a coffee shop and I had been going to work at like fourth 81 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,440 in the morning, so I think I worked that morning. Yeah, So 82 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,159 we drive to New York. I'm passing out, and I have this habit 83 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,360 of falling asleep at venues, so I will like you'll see me on the 84 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,799 floor, like I fell asleep at like a couple of bigger shows at the 85 00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:16,720 Middle East. Downstairs, I'm like sleeping up against and Martin's like, oh 86 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:18,720 my god, like nobody hit her and stuff. So I'm on the sleep 87 00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:22,960 of the like I'm falling asleep on the floor of this bar. And this 88 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,240 dude walks up, the trench coat flip flop dude, and he's like, 89 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:31,240 you know your song that that second song you guys play, Like, is 90 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:31,840 it right if I talk to you, like you know, like I just 91 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:33,960 want to tell you about this song. And I'm like, okay, yeah, 92 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,200 like we wrote that blah blah blah blah blah. And then he's like, 93 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,720 you know what, it reminds me of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. 94 00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:46,360 And I was like, we make hardcore music, like well, and I 95 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,240 just started laughing at this poor dude, and I thought he was joking, 96 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,799 but no, He's like no, like it seriously, like is it inspired 97 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,480 by it or something? And I was like, ah, I don't know. 98 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,559 You're gonna have to ask one of the dudes. And he's like, 99 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,360 okay, sorry for wasting your time, and he disappeared, like just out 100 00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:09,039 of nowhere. Maybe he was looking for that collab. Well it's the thing, 101 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,080 though, you know, music is art, and art is open to 102 00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:16,279 whatever interpretation you have, whatever you get out of it. So hopefully hopefully 103 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:22,440 he benefited from that, I would hope. So, yeah, are you 104 00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:26,919 one of those people who can fall asleep anywhere? Yes? Yeah, I 105 00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:31,200 think that. I was like, we saw one of my favorite bands. 106 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,440 It was was it saying it was two hundred? It was two hundred Stab 107 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,320 Wounds? And I had seen them before in Utah because that's where I'm originally 108 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,879 from. And I was in the corner. I was falling asleep standing up, 109 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,279 and Martin had to like just be like yo, like we gotta leave 110 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,960 soon because it's gonna look weird as me. Like like if I a six 111 00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:54,919 foot tall man is carrying out like a five foot one like pasted out woman, 112 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,639 that's like I can't prove if this one's like my wife or anything, 113 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,399 it's perhaps some red flags. Yeah, no doubt. Well, let's give 114 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,559 this a spin. So this is so, this is another World Radio premiere. 115 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,440 This is called is it Stately Lives or Stately Lives, Stately Lives, 116 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,480 Stately Lives?

I'm very curious to hear 142 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:56,039 how this how how your music translates to an acoustic in terms of an acoustic 143 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,600 performance.

Yeah, so we wanted the opportunity to get to try and do 152 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,879 something that was a lot more lower dynamics than we typically have had the opportunity 153 00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:38,480 to do in the past. Okay, all right, this will be cool. 154 00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:44,039 I'm very very interested to hear this. I'm gonna take a sip of 155 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,919 water real quick.

It's a little more aggressive, but it still 165 00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:33,839 has some of these lower dynamics and it's called Yellow Belly. All right, 166 00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:02,519 You in the streets, do the spinning in my leading coming from the seat. 167 00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:08,920 The soul that won't be repeated from the start, the other mother's broken 168 00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:29,480 heart.

It's 185 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,480 on the second fread. I think I'm pretty sure. So this one on 186 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,640 the record, it sounds pretty similar to this. It's not acoustic, but 187 00:20:37,759 --> 00:20:45,559 it's all clean guitars and whatnot. It's kind of atmospheric. Yeah. I 188 00:20:45,599 --> 00:20:48,680 could talk a bit more about sort of the meaning behind some of these songs 189 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,440 after we've played them, But okay, this one is called home is where 190 00:20:52,480 --> 00:21:32,720 the Heart gets spent?

What Martin, you were saying something earlier about you 208 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,799 know, the talking about you wanted to explain some of the meaning and the 209 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,160 inspiration behind these songs. I'm very curious. Yeah, so the whole record 210 00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:40,920 is in sense, the new one that we have we have coming out. 211 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,440 It's kind it's not really a concept record, but there is like an overarch 212 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,200 arcing theme I would say, just kind of. It's so the name of 213 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,880 the record is gonna be called Repercussions, and the lyrical content is mostly just 214 00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:00,920 about like what happens when when things, when we do things without really thinking 215 00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:04,160 it through, kind of on a personal level, but also as like a 216 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:12,440 cultural like sort of note and a lot of it to me when writing it, 217 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:18,920 it's very kind of trying to express the feeling of like of feeling like 218 00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:26,680 we've been here before, and it feels like we kind of have these touchstones 219 00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:32,559 in time where like domino effects happen and then we end up in the same 220 00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:36,440 place we were, and then another one happens and it kind of spirals around 221 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,279 and all. It's like an infinite sort of chain of events that lead us 222 00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:45,799 back into similar circumstances. And I feel like that happens on a wider level 223 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,759 with everything, but I think it also happens in your personal life and like 224 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:56,039 you're gonna you're gonna repeat like, yeah, the mistakes that your family might 225 00:26:56,079 --> 00:27:00,680 have made or and it's kind of a out I would say, like the 226 00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:07,519 first part of the record is mostly about just sort of that being the case, 227 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,599 and then the second record or second part of the record is I hope 228 00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:15,680 somewhat more optimistic in trying to figure out how to cope with that and work 229 00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:21,200 through it. Yeah, it's interesting. I was kind of thinking about that. 230 00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:23,240 I was thinking about that last night, sort of along the lines of 231 00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:26,400 what you're saying. On a personal level, I was, I don't even 232 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,759 know what made me think of it, maybe, but it was after listening 233 00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:34,160 to some of your songs because I was I was, yeah, yeah, 234 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,960 I don't know, because I was, I was scanning through them on band 235 00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:41,839 camp, and again, I really like what you're doing. But I was 236 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,640 kind of thinking about, you know, things from my childhood and it I'm 237 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,079 also I don't know if you know this about me. I'm a hypnotherapist and 238 00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:52,160 a lot of the times people clients come to me for, you know, 239 00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:56,440 for help with Oftentimes it's basic phobias, things like that, and things that 240 00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:00,720 are rooted in our childhood, things that happened to it in our childhood and 241 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,039 affects us, affect us as adults. And I was actually thinking last night 242 00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:07,359 about patterns of behavior from when I was a kid, you know, I 243 00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:14,000 was. I ruminate a lot, far more than as healthy. But yeah, 244 00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:17,759 and that's probably an element of human nature too. We probably all do 245 00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:22,640 it to varying degrees, definitely. But I was thinking about I was thinking 246 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:27,839 about ways I'm different and how I've changed and evolved in ways, but also 247 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,680 ways where I feel like I haven't, where I feel like I'm the same 248 00:28:30,759 --> 00:28:34,799 person as I was when I was fifteen in some ways, and how frustrated 249 00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:37,319 I am by that. So I was kind of thinking about that kind of 250 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,680 thing where you know, and history repeats both personally and Yeah, no, 251 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:48,200 definitely, I think it would be fair to say that most people forget that 252 00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:52,759 they need to continue to actively try and grow as you get older. I 253 00:28:52,799 --> 00:29:00,960 think a lot of people don't realize that working on yourself is not something that's 254 00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:04,880 particularly pleasant or that will always come easy, but it's a necessity for happiness 255 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,559 in opinion. Yeah, and you also said too, in terms of your 256 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,440 lyrics, you were talking about about that on a broader scale as well. 257 00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:21,920 It's there's a lot of I hesitate to say, like political because I don't 258 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,799 I don't want to. Well, Martin's a very big history buff We like 259 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,039 go to Barnes and Noball all the time, and he finds like a really 260 00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:30,079 cool book and he gets really educated on it, Like he read this book 261 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,640 about how they train bears to dance, Like where was it like in Russia? 262 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:36,799 Yeah, and he wrote a song about it, and it's like a 263 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,319 really cool thing. Yeah. I think I saw that on band camp. 264 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,880 Yes, if you teach a bear to dance? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 265 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,880 yeah, just uh yeah. A lot of historical things I like reading 266 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:55,480 about, and it often like gets under my skin in a way, and 267 00:29:55,559 --> 00:29:59,839 I kind of feel the need to write about it to alleviate some of that 268 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:07,119 at And I find it's interesting when you look at history how much you can 269 00:30:07,319 --> 00:30:12,319 find the similarities and in your everyday life and then also in the world at 270 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:18,799 large, Like it's interesting to realize that figures of history are people and they 271 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:25,240 had like feelings and it's and that's an interesting because we kind of glorify them 272 00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:29,880 and we like iconize them into like being this thing, but it's not like 273 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,680 they were like you and I, but they were in a circumstance in which 274 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,880 this is what happened. And I feel like that's very fascinating, right, 275 00:30:37,079 --> 00:30:41,519 right, and yeah, and and and things do repeat. It kind of 276 00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:45,480 feels like humanity. We kind of go in circles. Yeah, you know, 277 00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:49,440 right there with you about the same stuff. Yeah, and then you 278 00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:52,680 know, and and those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 279 00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:59,240 And humans are really bad at learning from history. We we we we 280 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,680 learn history, but we don't actually learn from it unfortunately. Yeah, aren't 281 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,880 we? We just repeated? Yeah, yeah, Well, I mean it's 282 00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:14,559 it's tough to I think admit. I think it's equally as tough to admit 283 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,400 where we've gone wrong as it is to admit where we've gone right. I 284 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:23,480 feel like it's difficult in general to yes, to to concede our failures and 285 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:29,440 also concede that it's not all bad and that we have one at times too, 286 00:31:30,319 --> 00:31:33,200 And that also can be true on both a micro and a macro level. 287 00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:37,440 Right, Yeah, absolutely, How long has how long has this band 288 00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,839 been the five of you? Has it always been this lineuper? So it 289 00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:45,559 was the four of us? So okay, let me give a brief history. 290 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,720 So when I was in Sauce on the side of the band I played 291 00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:53,680 drums for. We went on tour in twenty twenty one, we went to 292 00:31:53,880 --> 00:32:00,200 Utah and I met Zoe Well I booked Yah. Zoe booked the show in 293 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,799 Utah because we had met online and she booked the show in Utah, and 294 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,400 then we started talking and then we started dating, and then we thought wouldn't 295 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,599 it be cool we started a band, and me and James and Danny were 296 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,519 in a separate band at the time that we decided to not do that anymore. 297 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:22,160 We went into this like heavier thing and so then Zoe moved over here. 298 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,319 But before that we had like shows where James was living in New Jersey 299 00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:29,519 and I was living in Utah, So I'd strap my guitar on my back 300 00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:32,000 and fly with it for the six hour flight wow and then come to the 301 00:32:32,039 --> 00:32:37,400 shows. We practiced like if we were lucky two times before the show Yeah, 302 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,559 And we just had like these dope shows and Martin's basement. So so 303 00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:44,839 we wrote our first EP remotely. We all sent each other like rifts and 304 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,519 stuff and recorded them remotely, and then we all showed up in a room 305 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,079 practiced once, and then the next day it played our first show, WOWOW, 306 00:32:52,519 --> 00:32:55,640 which was very stressful, and we did that twice, and then after 307 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,640 a couple months, James moved here and Zo he moved here. They both 308 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:07,839 moved in with me, and we kind of just started playing shows and at 309 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,599 this point we were a four piece. We had two guitarists, vocals, 310 00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:15,640 and drums. And then we did that for a while and then Joel is 311 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:21,880 actually an old friend of James and I. We met when we were kids, 312 00:33:22,119 --> 00:33:24,880 and we just got back in contact and I was like, hey, 313 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:30,359 you should come join my band because you're a good bassist, You're a good 314 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:35,279 dude. And he thought about it for a bit and then he decided that 315 00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:37,839 he was going to come hang out with the best decision I ever made. 316 00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:44,119 Yeah, Yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome, and it's I think what 317 00:33:44,359 --> 00:33:46,599 is a testament to you, know that you've really got something good going here, 318 00:33:46,759 --> 00:33:51,799 is that you were really kind of against the odds getting this band off 319 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,119 the ground, right because what you just told me and how this came about, 320 00:33:54,759 --> 00:33:59,240 it shouldn't have worked. No, No, definitely not. Yeah. 321 00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:01,359 Yeah, somehow you all here, you all are I mean you you know, 322 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,599 you used to live in Utah and now you're flying here and everything, 323 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,719 and yet somehow, in in spite of all of that, here you all 324 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,599 are sitting in this room together as a band. Pretty amazing, and that 325 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:16,079 is amazing. Also in that time we got married. We Yeah, so 326 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,400 we're a happy bunch, i'd say, yeah. Yeah, Well, now 327 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,519 the band can never break up. No, yeah, no, Fleetwood Mac 328 00:34:23,559 --> 00:34:29,079 business. That's that's right, that's right. Verty cool. So now, 329 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,840 so you've got a big tour coming, right we do.

Four dates in Texas, Louisiana, two dates in Florida, 334 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:05,639 North Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia. I don't think we did get 335 00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:10,440 at Georgia, and then New Jersey and New Hampshire. Yeah, we'll have 336 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:16,000 a big homecoming show, hopefully in Milford at a skate park with all of 337 00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:20,519 our friends. Oh, very cool, very cool. Is it difficult to 338 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,679 uh, like, who handles that part of it? Booking all those shows? 339 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:29,119 Well, so I have a really bad habit, Like I have all 340 00:35:29,159 --> 00:35:31,920 the internet connections, Like I said, I met Martin on TikTok and I 341 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,840 during the pandemic, you know, just kind of bored at home, and 342 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,119 I really liked music, and the place where I grew up, I there 343 00:35:39,159 --> 00:35:43,000 weren't there wasn't a lot of kids listening to the same sort of music that 344 00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:46,639 I was because it was seen like devil music and stuff. They're like, 345 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,719 oh yeah, my church said I couldn't listen to that, But that was 346 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,159 something I was really into. And I started branching out and meeting new people. 347 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,480 So I have friends all over the country that we're gonna go meet, 348 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,239 Like I have a couple of friends in Texas, friends in Georgia. We 349 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,400 just recently played with one of my really close internet friends in Virginia. So 350 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,960 I hit them all up and I don't know, like whatever is in my 351 00:36:09,039 --> 00:36:14,159 brain, like goldfish brain. I was like, James Martin, Danny Joel, 352 00:36:14,199 --> 00:36:16,719 can you can you guys follow up on these because I I just can't 353 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,639 remember all. Yeah. I just annoy people online until they have no option 354 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,639 but to book us. I just them and they're like, I'll book your 355 00:36:24,679 --> 00:36:29,199 band if you leave me alone. Yeah, persistence is what it takes. 356 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:35,079 Yeah, absolutely, And James has definitely been the main guy for this, 357 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,920 Like we've all done our part when we can. But James Hays, he's 358 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,239 really been the dude. He's booked like he's booked pretty much every show for 359 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,079 this. There's like twenty three dates that he's booked with no help. Wow. 360 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,119 Yeah, so's he's been in a powerhouse with this. With the rest 361 00:36:51,159 --> 00:36:57,320 of us are just like doing our part and pretending that we're helping. Well, 362 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,320 it's genuinely a job, like people don't realize how much work goes into 363 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,079 it. Like me and Joel we just recently quit our jobs so we could 364 00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:07,639 go onto this tour. My my job was really cool at first because I 365 00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:09,719 I'm really upfront with my managers and I'd like to say that I'm a good 366 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,280 employee. So I was like, hey, just so you know, like 367 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,360 just to profess everything, like I am a musician, I'm in a band. 368 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,559 This is like my life's passions, like goals, and like I play 369 00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:24,119 shows a lot, so I'm gonna be diligent and I'm gonna take off all 370 00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:29,159 the time that I need so I don't harm your guys's business. And they 371 00:37:29,199 --> 00:37:31,440 were like, oh yeah, so cool. And just lately the business has 372 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:37,920 been kind of going terribly and so I'm glad I liquidated All by Socks before 373 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,519 it started going downhill. But my manager was like, yeah, we're just 374 00:37:40,559 --> 00:37:45,199 gonna have to write you up because you called out like twice, and you 375 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,920 know, we can't have you go on all on all these tours and stuff. 376 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,079 And I'm like, well, I put in the time off and I 377 00:37:51,159 --> 00:37:53,199 have the vacation time. So at that point I was a little fed up. 378 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,199 It was after Christmas, and I was like, I want to do 379 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,480 music and if I'm gonna go all in with like me and my bandmates, 380 00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:01,079 I'm just gonn to go all in, Like there's no reason not to. 381 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,840 We're on this earth for such a short amount of time, and if I'm 382 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,199 not doing something I enjoy, it's not really worth it at all, right, 383 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,039 right, Yeah, Yeah, it's too bad too that they treated you 384 00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:19,239 that way. Yeah. Yeah, it was very unfortunate circumstance. But I 385 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,800 feel like it's it's made it all like there's there's a really nice sort of 386 00:38:24,079 --> 00:38:30,559 pressure to it all. It's like we have like something writing on this that 387 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,360 is like I think could be seen as a negative, but I kind of 388 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,440 see it as a positive because it's like there's so many people who who I 389 00:38:37,519 --> 00:38:40,920 feel like look back and wish they had done things they wanted to do. 390 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,960 And I'm not I'm I'm not gonna say that this is gonna work out and 391 00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:49,719 we're gonna make it, so to speak, but I will I'll be able 392 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,639 to like tell my kids someday like, yeah, well I did that right, 393 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,559 Like it might not have worked out, but I did it. Yeah. 394 00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:59,159 Well, my dad he also grew up in the same place, born 395 00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:01,920 in the same hospital, same little town. He was number eight out of 396 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,519 eleven kids, just because that's the culture over there. Yeah, and he 397 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,159 told his parents He's like, I want to be a rock star, and 398 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,400 his parents looked at him and were like, no, no, you're not. 399 00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:15,840 So he tried to have all these bands and stuff and music's something he's 400 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,880 wanted to do his whole life, and yeah, I had all this equipment 401 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,199 and it just seemed kind of like a broken dream because he got married young, 402 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,599 and like, he absolutely loves my mom and loves my siblings, but 403 00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:27,800 like, I always feel like there was a part of him that missed out 404 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,960 on being a musician. But I was very like thankful, and like he 405 00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:36,960 was very grateful because he gave me all the tools that I needed and had 406 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,239 the stepping stones for like, so he could basically live vicariously through me. 407 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,639 And I'm like forever grateful for that. Yeah. Yeah, that's really cool. 408 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:50,000 Does he still play, Yeah, he's honestly, Like he taught me 409 00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:53,599 how to play guitar, and like his riffs and stuff bleed through into like 410 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:59,239 my music and my inspirations because he lived in Mexico City. I think it 411 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,880 was about four years with my mom because that's where my mom's from. Oh, 412 00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:05,159 so they did the whole long distance thing too, like wow, repeating 413 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,079 cycles. Yeah, yeah, so they did all of that, and he's 414 00:40:08,119 --> 00:40:12,599 got it like a lot of Latin influences in his guitar playing, and like, 415 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,079 I love my dad's guitar playing. So if you hear a lot in 416 00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:17,679 our music, Like, we played with this band from Texas and they came 417 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,239 up to me and they were like, yo, you guys got that like 418 00:40:21,559 --> 00:40:24,239 Texas Latin groove going on, and my heart just melted. I was like, 419 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:29,719 you guys get it, like seriously. Yeah, both of our parents 420 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:34,400 were music. So my mom and dad were also musicians in the punk scene 421 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,599 in New England. In the nineties and uh so I was raised on punk 422 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:44,519 and all that stuff. Like, so they've always been super super supportive of 423 00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:47,440 what we do. They're probably listening right now. Yeah, yeah, good 424 00:40:47,559 --> 00:40:52,400 good. Yeah. And you know, to take the chance to you know, 425 00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:54,880 like like you were talking about quitting the job and whatnot. You know, 426 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,039 now's now's the time to do it too, right, I mean you're 427 00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:00,920 young and you know you don't I assume you don't have kids yet, right, 428 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,920 yeah, before before you start the family and you know, do all 429 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,800 that. Now is now's the time to do it because you know, well 430 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,679 you can afford to you know, part of your life. So yeah, 431 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,079 now's the time to to take that chance. And you you know, you've 432 00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:16,559 got a great thing going here. And uh and like I said, you 433 00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:20,679 know, the five of you getting together like this, it it from from 434 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,800 what you told me. It shouldn't have worked out, but but it did. 435 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,519 So so that's a that's a great testament to what you're doing. We 436 00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:31,079 should have I was thinking we could play another studio track because oh yeah, 437 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,639 because uh, Martin, you were talking about or or Zoe. Maybe you 438 00:41:35,679 --> 00:41:37,920 brought it up. But if if you teach a bear to if you Teach 439 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,639 a Bear to dance. Let me let me just make sure the lyrics to 440 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,760 that are clean real quick. They should be. I think they are, 441 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,840 because the nice thing about your band camp it is it has the lyrics it 442 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,119 does on it. Yeah. Yeah, there's no, there's no yeah yeah, 443 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,480 I mean you're screaming anyways. So if somebody had like a good enough 444 00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:58,599 ear maybe they could understand. But I try not to be too sweary in 445 00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:00,960 our lyrics. Yeah, I noticed that. I noticed that, I think, 446 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,480 didn't I I think I said to Jenny too, didn't I say to 447 00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:07,760 you? I don't think there's any Is this the band I was talking about? 448 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,599 I don't think there's any swears, but even if there are, I 449 00:42:09,679 --> 00:42:16,079 can't understand them. This was that band. Yeah all right, yeah, 450 00:42:16,159 --> 00:42:20,079 let's uh, let's give this a listen because we were talking about it earlier. 451 00:42:20,199 --> 00:42:22,920 This is if you teach a Bear to dance, and uh the band 452 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:37,559 is set the bar low there here with us in studio.

Yeah, that's awesome. 456 00:45:04,679 --> 00:45:06,800 If you teach a bear to dance is the name of the song, 457 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,719 And of course the band is set the Barlow, and we have set the 458 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:15,320 barlow with us here in studio, by the way, so we do have 459 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:21,400 in the chat room, Karen Harvey Olsen, I assume that is my mother's 460 00:45:21,519 --> 00:45:24,920 your mother. Very nice, very nice that she's supportive. That's extremely that's 461 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:32,199 awesome. Melanie, our friend Melanie law Liberty in the chat room said something 462 00:45:32,199 --> 00:45:37,079 about oh yeah, She said, were you wondering what the blank happened to 463 00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:50,159 these guys as kids? Well, that's funny. How do you describe your 464 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,199 music for people who haven't heard it? Everyone always say it's this question, 465 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:57,840 but I'm just curious. Yeah, so it depends. I usually just say 466 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:04,119 like hardcore, meta or punk. Just if people are like into the type 467 00:46:04,159 --> 00:46:07,039 of music and want more specifics, I'll say, like, depends. I 468 00:46:07,079 --> 00:46:13,480 don't know. We've only been a band for less than three years now, 469 00:46:13,639 --> 00:46:16,679 and I feel like we're only just kind of now starting to really establish what 470 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,599 our sound is. Nowadays, i'd probably say we're just like a hardcore like 471 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,320 metal or punk band. But yeah, in the earlier stuff like we just 472 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:29,679 heard I would have said grindcore, which is like a specific subgenre of metal 473 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,639 that is just very fast and very aggressive. Yeah, and over very quickly. 474 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:37,840 Yeah. Yeah, your songs. Speaking of over very quickly, most 475 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,880 of your songs are kind of short. Yeah. Is that by design or 476 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,719 does that so on the earlier stuff, I think it was definitely by design. 477 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,880 On the new record, we kind of tried to have it be a 478 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,960 little more traditional song length and structuring. We actually the last song on the 479 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,960 new record is ten minutes long. Oh wow, And it's got like sections 480 00:46:58,199 --> 00:47:01,880 and so many different instrum Yeah. We were we so we recorded I think 481 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,440 I mentioned this earlier. We recorded this in a cabin in the middle of 482 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,199 the woods in upstate New York that we rented. We brought all of our 483 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:15,159 own gear in to record it ourselves, and we brought every instrument we had. 484 00:47:15,199 --> 00:47:21,639 We brought a pump organ, banjo's, twelve string, acoustics, trump, 485 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,760 stylo phone, every little like noise making thing that we could find, 486 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:29,320 pretty much everything we own. Wow, And we brought it in and we 487 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,840 tracked it. We set up two studio rooms in the cabin. We had 488 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:37,280 Studio A and Studio B. Stud B is the bathroom, and that is 489 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,519 where we would track all the acoustic instruments and all the vocals in the shower, 490 00:47:42,039 --> 00:47:44,400 and then Studio A was the living room, which is where we tracked 491 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:50,039 all the guitars, bass and drums and yeah, so on the new stuff. 492 00:47:50,599 --> 00:47:54,000 To answer your original question, I would say we kind of try and 493 00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:59,800 have it be a little more song length, but the quicker ones are just, 494 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:01,840 uh, we want to get to the point when we play live, 495 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,719 we'd like to be able to play as many songs as we can. So 496 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,000 if every song is a minute long, we can play like ten songs, 497 00:48:08,039 --> 00:48:12,719 then it'll be fifteen minutes. We have interlude tracks too that are very like 498 00:48:13,039 --> 00:48:16,039 synth and pop and I don't even know, it's just very different. Yeah. 499 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,320 Now when is the new album supposed to be out? Is that I 500 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,800 believe June fourteenth? Okay? Yeah, we have another single coming out May 501 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:34,079 tenth, and then with a music video also shot and directed by Griffin Rompri 502 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,400 he has If you guys listening want to check him out, he is available 503 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,400 for video shoots and he is very good and he's just starting, so you 504 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,719 should hit him up. He's shooting our music video for that and then we 505 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:51,440 have another single in the beginning of June, right before the record, and 506 00:48:51,559 --> 00:48:55,480 then the record comes out, we'll have CDs we're hoping to get tapes to, 507 00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:00,159 no kidding, yep. Yeah. The tape thing is interesting to me 508 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:05,360 because I think it was probably, uh maybe six or seven years ago now 509 00:49:05,519 --> 00:49:07,840 I was. I was actually on band camp and I was poking around. 510 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:12,360 I was looking for for local artists and uh, and I was stunned. 511 00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:16,599 I remember this moment vividly when I saw that someone was selling cassette tapes. 512 00:49:16,679 --> 00:49:20,320 Yeah, it's a it's a big thing these days, Cooligan. Yeah. 513 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,599 And then yeah, and then I was like and then I realized a lot 514 00:49:22,679 --> 00:49:23,559 of a lot of people were doing it. I was like, oh, 515 00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:27,559 I'll be damn. Yeah. I collected me and Martin we have a pretty 516 00:49:27,639 --> 00:49:34,159 big like physical music collection, and uh, like I just recently was Savers. 517 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,239 Yeah, I thought, but I went to Savers and I found like 518 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,679 Slayers first album, like the first release, and they go for a lot 519 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:44,639 of money nowadays. Wow. Yeah, yeah, pretty crazy. Yeah, 520 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:50,840 It's it's interesting to see like what technology goes away and what technology sticks around, 521 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:52,639 or when they go away and then come back. Yeah. Yeah, 522 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:57,920 exactly, because it's very often it doesn't go the way everyone's predicting. Like 523 00:49:58,039 --> 00:50:00,920 years and years ago, I was a manager or at a CD store, 524 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:06,320 and you know, CDs were supposed to be gone, yep, at least 525 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,760 a decade ago. You know, people were saying there's not gonna be any 526 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,880 more CDs, it's all gonna be digital media. But CDs are still. 527 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,280 Yeah, I love them. And you know, in Vinyl, which of 528 00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,280 course never went away, but I think not only did Vinyl have such an 529 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,840 incredible resurgence, but I think it was twenty twenty two maybe was out sold 530 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:28,159 sold CDs for the first time. Yeah, just amazing. Of course with 531 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,199 Vinyl, a lot of people too, you know they open it. I 532 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:31,760 mean they buy it and they never actually open it because if it's an art, 533 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,280 you know, they just want to collect you just collect it. Yeah 534 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,440 yeah, yeah. So now when does the tour start? The tour The 535 00:50:39,519 --> 00:50:44,400 first day of the tour is June seventeenth, Okay, it might be the 536 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,960 eighteenth, I don't remember. It's the first date is in Columbus, Ohio. 537 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,199 I think we're playing a laundromat. Yeah, it's a laundromat that also 538 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:57,159 is a venue. I believe it's Ohio. Yeah, okay, and that 539 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,679 is the first date of the US tour. The first date of the run 540 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:07,079 where we're going to Canada is May thirtieth. We're playing in Vermont and then 541 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:13,039 uh, we're playing two dates in Quebec and then a date in Ontario. 542 00:51:14,679 --> 00:51:16,159 Now, what do you do? You rent a do you rent a van 543 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:21,039 or we just bought a van, a twelve cedar van. Yeah, we're 544 00:51:21,079 --> 00:51:23,159 gonna rent a U haul trailer for our gear. Yeah, but we have 545 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:30,320 a twelve seedar van for Zoe and I just purchased it. And yeah, 546 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:35,840 it's very nice. We've done tours before and in minivans and it was much 547 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:42,039 less nice the last tour that we did and set the barlow in January. 548 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,320 We set it up. This is very not okay, I don't recommend doing 549 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,960 this. Okay. We set up the back of the mini van. We 550 00:51:49,079 --> 00:51:52,239 put the seats down, and we loaded in gym matts and three people just 551 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,519 laid on the gym mats in the back of the van on top of so 552 00:51:55,639 --> 00:51:59,760 we put the guitars down and then we put the mats on top of the 553 00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,400 guitar case. It's just their hardshell, and then we loaded me and Zoe 554 00:52:02,559 --> 00:52:06,880 and Joel into the back of the van and we just laid down and played 555 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:12,400 Mario Kart for the because you're like sitting the wrong way. And then like 556 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,000 I don't know if you've seen Joel and Martin, but they're very, very 557 00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:20,280 tall, so I had to like take the like side see and just like 558 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,719 keep to myself. Yeah, but we did that and it was not horrible. 559 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,559 But we're never doing it again. Yeah, and we have a van 560 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,519 now so we never need to. Yeah. No, it's smart though, 561 00:52:30,599 --> 00:52:35,559 with the gym mats. That's a that's a good idea. Well, let's 562 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,599 we are already approaching the top of the hour. It goes so quickly. 563 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:42,440 Well, we'll actually play one more We can play one more studio track from 564 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,239 stand up to solution uh to to wrap up the segment. But thank you. 565 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,320 I appreciate all five of you coming in. This is great. I 566 00:52:47,559 --> 00:52:51,800 really enjoyed the live performance. Anytime we have a banjo, that's cool. 567 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,639 Yeah, something different, you know, I really really enjoyed that a lot. 568 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,800 Where should people go online to keep up with everything that you're doing? 569 00:53:00,119 --> 00:53:02,440 So we have an Instagram that's probably the most active. We also have a 570 00:53:02,519 --> 00:53:06,679 Facebook, but it's a little less active than the Instagram. We also have 571 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,880 a YouTube where we have our music videos coming out and we have some live 572 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:15,400 shows on there, but predominantly Instagram is our main tool. St b L 573 00:53:15,599 --> 00:53:20,760 Underscore Band Instagram. I'm glad you remember it because I didn't. I got 574 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,480 you excellent, excellent, very good, very good. What should we and 575 00:53:24,559 --> 00:53:27,960 what should we finish off with? Here? We got to let me think, 576 00:53:28,079 --> 00:53:30,159 what's a good one that doesn't? No, don't do bees bees, 577 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:37,840 there's definitely I forgot. Uh, we've got nobody suspects. The Butterfly is 578 00:53:37,119 --> 00:53:40,039 the last track on that. I think that one should be good. I 579 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,280 did listen to that one because I remember I remember thinking, I really like 580 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:45,920 this one. Yeah, as you said, nobody'll be able to tell either 581 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:50,960 way, but I think it should be good. And I do remember reading 582 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,760 the lyrics because it's got the lyrics here on band camp. And yeah, 583 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:58,079 I'm glad I did that because I don't. Yeah, that's I wish everyone 584 00:53:58,159 --> 00:54:00,119 did that. It would make it a lot easier when I'm trying to you 585 00:54:00,199 --> 00:54:04,039 know, does this Somebany swears on it? But no, that's very very 586 00:54:04,079 --> 00:54:07,119 cool. So yeah, so we'll finish with this Nobody Suspects the Butterfly, 587 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,519 Set the Barlow.
