18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,479
talk to you. Welcome to the show. I do love

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,079
that song, Nicole. We also have Monolith, which we're gonna

20
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:54,960
play at the end of our segment. Another great track.

21
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:57,399
But where are you guys from exactly?

22
00:00:58,799 --> 00:00:59,359
Speaker 4: We're from?

23
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: Well, we're not from Manchester, New Hampshire, from Manchester, England. Yes,

24
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:06,079
I don't know which come first. We can we can

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,280
debate about that.

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Well, No, I think we know which camp we are.

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,719
Not the original Manchester clearly, but uh uh. Part of

28
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:15,879
why it's so interesting to me is so obviously you know,

29
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,640
I made this the Seattle reference of course Seattle, Washington

30
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,799
here in uh in the United States.

31
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

32
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:25,079
Speaker 1: You guys a very heavy grunge sound. I would assume

33
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,239
that when that song was plain that our listeners had

34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,200
no idea that you guys were from the from Manchester,

35
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:35,560
UK as they're hearing that song. So it's very I'm

36
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,840
really curious about that. Uh, the the grunge influence. It

37
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,640
sounds like, like I said, it sounds like nineties Uh Seattle.

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,480
Tell us about that and is that kind of I

39
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,519
did listen to you know, your other songs as well online. Yeah,

40
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,640
some great some great stuff on band camp, and it

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,439
seems like that's really the vibe with this project.

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 5: Loud George, Yeah, I think originally so when we got

43
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:05,879
together whilst we were in Uni and the general consensus

44
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:08,240
was that we'd make a band that was like Nirvana

45
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:09,919
without the Nirvana.

46
00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:12,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was kind of The energy level was definitely

47
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,439
so like all the guitars were turned up to eleven

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,280
and there was a lot more screaming back then. Yeah,

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,879
but we came back and met up after UNI and stuff,

50
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,879
and none of us had ever played in a band

51
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,960
that was as good as what we were doing back then,

52
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:28,400
So we sort of retoured all the old songs and

53
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:30,439
you can really hear it all there. But on this

54
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,039
new album that's coming, I think the whole album drops

55
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:36,879
on the thirteenth okay, and thirteen tracks of it, and

56
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,240
we've still got a bit a bit more progue with,

57
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,439
Like there's tricks, some weird time signatures and stuff going on,

58
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:47,240
some mad stuff that Eric's doing on the guitar. We

59
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:49,719
were trying to make it as inaccessible to the.

60
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: Inn old age we've got.

61
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, as Nick was saying, I think originally we came

62
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,360
from like that Nirvana, Ben and I think that was

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,080
when we were young and care free. That was what

64
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:08,360
we wanted. But yeah, it's definitely less apathetic. I think

65
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,240
when you think about grunge, it's very apathetic and very

66
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:17,319
very young and spirited to a kind of like nihilism.

67
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,000
And I don't think we're there anymore. I think we're

68
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:19,639
a bit older.

69
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, kids.

70
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,159
Speaker 3: Now everything is fine.

71
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Everything all as well. You guys have been around for

72
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:29,960
a while, right, was it twenty ten when when you

73
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:31,719
started originally this project?

74
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty ten was when we met up at Uni, okay,

75
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,159
and then we had a few years and then we

76
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,439
broke up just after UNI finished and I had to

77
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:44,360
work on mc donald's and.

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,199
Speaker 3: For a bit.

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,319
Speaker 4: Tell us about the Ferris Wheel, Sam, Oh.

80
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: It was lovely.

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,159
Speaker 6: He just looked force people to take their picture and

82
00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:01,240
then take money out of their pockets a basis.

83
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,159
Speaker 1: So how long was the break for you guys? How

84
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:05,599
long were you not together?

85
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: Ten years? It basically coincided with COVID. Yeah, COVID happened

86
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:17,399
and we I sent a message from both just saying do.

87
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: You want to redo that?

88
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: We basically recorded the album originally ten years ago in Uni.

89
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,439
Obviously taking it wasn't the greatest recorded thing in the world.

90
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 4: It was done in like a week age.

91
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: You could hear the alcoholic.

92
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,079
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, so we just saw the COVID.

93
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,079
Speaker 2: I basically I was bored and I said, do you

94
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,160
guys want to do it again?

95
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 4: And we'll jump and get together and have a gore.

96
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: And I said no, I don't like you. This is

97
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,399
why I've been avoiding you.

98
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: So you basically re recorded the album.

99
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,079
Speaker 3: At that point, yeah, hope last album.

100
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, well we all had home studios by that point,

101
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,279
so yeah, kind of remotely, Yeah, redid the bits and

102
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:02,879
then start messing around with a rewriting a few little parts.

103
00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:05,439
I mean, the lyrics from ten years ago when we

104
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:09,879
were all twenty are all very much just I'm so

105
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:12,360
sad for me.

106
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: And this rhymes with me.

107
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:14,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

108
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it it's like being able to do it remotely.

109
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,279
I mean it speaks like we didn't actually meet up

110
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,639
until we were doing a music video, a music video

111
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,240
that we never actually used for the first one that

112
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:28,120
was off the first album. We ended up doing a

113
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,040
couple of videos for that. But on this album that's

114
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,480
coming out now, we've done three or four and it's

115
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,399
all been again. It's DIY recording.

116
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

117
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: I just think it speaks out that, like we were

118
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:42,199
able to do that first album. We rewrote the lyrics

119
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,439
over on like meetings with each other. We rewrote everything

120
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,839
like in band lab and stuff a couple of times,

121
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,040
use some Midia examples, and then recorded everything ourselves and

122
00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:53,199
the album was done.

123
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: That first album took us ages because we're doing it

124
00:05:57,079 --> 00:06:00,639
song by song by song. And what's funny is the

125
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,639
equipment got better. So when we started out, Nick was

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,519
recording on bin leads, So jelly Bean from the first

127
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,639
album was recorded on like instead. The symbols were awful.

128
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,639
They were actual dustin leads. Really, would you call them

129
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:19,319
garbage candleads? Garbage candleads? So yeah, they were pretty awful.

130
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,199
And as it went along, we got better equipment, and

131
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:23,319
then we did this album.

132
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can hear it get better as it as

133
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,959
it comes out. But I think with this new one,

134
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,120
like we're all tooled up with the stuff that we needed.

135
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,240
We're actually in person. I mean, we've been recording loads

136
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,639
since then, and some stuff hasn't hasn't made it on

137
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,040
the album, but we've had some really good experiences, like

138
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,240
just going over to Whales. Have we've got such nice

139
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,959
countryside out here? Yeah, just going in a cottage, no

140
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,720
soundproofing or anything, just blasting a load of music out.

141
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the original recordings, I assume the original album that

142
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,800
you recorded. Is that available anywhere online or have you

143
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,439
kind of hidden that from from the world.

144
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: Yes, you can find that on Spotify.

145
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, there sound Claus, we can't log in. We would

146
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:09,720
hide it.

147
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:11,839
Speaker 1: For real.

148
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,199
Speaker 4: They all have different names.

149
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,759
Speaker 2: But then I think, like, so we really like Lightning now,

150
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,319
but like Lightning back then was called like some I

151
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:23,319
think it's something about four D TV or something.

152
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm curious because you know, like I said,

153
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,040
I listened everything that you have on band camp, and

154
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:33,199
but it would be interesting, Uh I think just to

155
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,399
go back, I might, I might check out your SoundCloud

156
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:37,439
and just see it. Would it would be interesting to

157
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,519
hear the original material. You know that the way it

158
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:45,519
was originally done, just out of curiosity makes you I'm

159
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,000
kind of a nerd for that kind of thing. Plus,

160
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:48,920
you know, it almost sounds like the original might be

161
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,600
more considered more of a demo recording, and I love

162
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,199
listening to that kind of stuff. I think it's really interesting.

163
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: There's a really there's one good one on there, which

164
00:07:57,079 --> 00:08:01,360
is a cover of sale. These boots are made for walking.

165
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 6: Oh really like a demo quality cover of that, which

166
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,920
is quite that was all recorded live, wasn't it.

167
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: Yeah?

168
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah that was good. Oh wow, Yeah, quite a lot

169
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:13,600
of stuff. Back then we used to get about just

170
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:15,600
in like a tiny little one lead car. I don't

171
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,639
know how we fit everything and all the people in there,

172
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,360
because we had like people that were coming to the

173
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,279
gigs in the car with us as well, going from

174
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:25,920
Manchester's crew like down South and stuff, but doing it

175
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,519
all in one car. And do you remember we played

176
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,480
with that Harry Styles. Yeah, you know how.

177
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,759
Speaker 2: We played with Harry Styles original band before he got them.

178
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: Really we didn't realize the night wild, but I think

179
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,320
we we definitely cover more ground now that like we're

180
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,799
all driving and yeah, yeah, the stuff that we've got

181
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:51,679
on the road with us, that's that's also growing as

182
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,159
well as the studios, so that's good.

183
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I'm curious too, you know in terms of

184
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,519
that classic grunge sound that you guys have, does that

185
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,360
help you stand out in the scene. Obviously there's a

186
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:06,720
lot of bands there in the area that you're in,

187
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,039
but I assume tell me if I'm wrong, I assume

188
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,360
there's nobody else there doing exactly what you're doing.

189
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:15,159
Speaker 3: A huge grunge scene in the UK.

190
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,279
Speaker 1: Is there. Yeah, that's interesting.

191
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: When we went down to Camden last that, like in

192
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,960
London there there's like there's a band there called Avoid,

193
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,559
there's a couple of other bands like especially when we

194
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,879
go down South, isn't it like Yeah? Yeah, like like

195
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,399
especially like girl rock grunge bands like they sound great.

196
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

197
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: The only thing that there's a part is that we're old.

198
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're entering the middle age now old loud George.

199
00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:48,919
Speaker 1: That's see. I wouldn't have expected that that there was

200
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,240
such a grunge scene there. Has that always been the

201
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,720
case or has that kind of ebbed and flowed over

202
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,000
the years, because right here, like in the United States,

203
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:59,279
there really is no I mean, there are bands, you know,

204
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,799
they're indie bands that have that sound, but as far

205
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,240
as I can't honestly tell you that there are a

206
00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:07,559
lot of grunge bands around currently in the US, and

207
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,519
there haven't been for a long time. But has that

208
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,399
always been the case where you guys are.

209
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:17,759
Speaker 3: Well, we're very sad and apathetic as a country. Really

210
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,519
it leans into it. I don't know.

211
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 6: It's kind of come full circle and I feel like

212
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,720
I've seen it on the local scene over the last

213
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:30,240
five or six years. Yeah, more, more and more bands

214
00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:33,519
are moving away from a kind of just like general

215
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,480
oat rock and metal and a lot of the a

216
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,200
lot of the younger up and Cummings are doing grungey

217
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:39,960
sounding stuff.

218
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: I'm wearing the clothes as well.

219
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,399
Speaker 6: I'm looking at her thinking I was wearing that when

220
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:44,960
I was ten.

221
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: It's hard to say, like when like, none of us

222
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:50,600
are promoters. We don't put our own shows on and

223
00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:53,159
see a lot like so we stay pretty much in

224
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,840
our niche. So we I don't get me wrong, we

225
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:58,039
go to a lot of gigs and stuff, but when

226
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,720
you're that close to the niche, it's kind of hard

227
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:01,879
to see. For looking like I've always gone to grunch

228
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,559
gigs here if I feel like it's something you've always

229
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,240
been able to go and watch in the UK, like

230
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:09,000
we love that over here. Yeah, but with bands like

231
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,799
Wet Leg and things like that there, they might not

232
00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:18,080
necessarily be like a four chord power cord thing, gotcha,

233
00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:21,360
but it's definitely got like a grunge thing. And I

234
00:11:21,399 --> 00:11:24,240
remember when people were going doing nuts about going to

235
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,879
see what's that Australian bands the Chats, Yeah, yeah, people

236
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:30,840
went nuts to go and see them. They're very punk.

237
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: I do think there's a lot of punky sort of

238
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,559
stuff coming out of Australia at the moment, like a.

239
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: Muse that comes out of Australia is just incredible. Yeah,

240
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,600
big and scary and poisonous music.

241
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: Interesting. Interesting, And so tell me about that song Nicole.

242
00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:49,000
I really love that song. Who is Nicole?

243
00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:55,519
Speaker 3: Nicole is sort of a fictitious, but it's basically all

244
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,679
of us had had friends that said that a man

245
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,000
had told them to smile from a very young age.

246
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,159
Like I remember talking to my friend Kate about this.

247
00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:10,240
I was like, what about fifteen years old? Do you

248
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,360
think like there's a bit of patriarchy force forced than

249
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:16,480
some girls? And she says, no, way younger, way younger

250
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:18,240
than that. And then then we got talking about it.

251
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:22,200
We had this mean riff, so we just decided to

252
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,399
throw that in on the lyrics. So it was a good,

253
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,080
good lyrical content for us.

254
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:34,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, interesting. Yeah, And then I assume that, well,

255
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:36,879
is that kind of a theme because it sounds like

256
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:40,159
you're going for something like you're not just you know,

257
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,600
you're not just singing about being sad and whatnot, Like

258
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:48,279
there's some real uh content there in terms of those lyrics.

259
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,039
I mean, you know, you're you're talking about something. It

260
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:52,799
sounds like, you know, the patriarchy, repression and things like that.

261
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,440
Is that a consistent theme in your lyrics because you know,

262
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,240
like I said, I listened to the other songs and

263
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:01,840
they all sound like, you know, there's there's some genuine

264
00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:04,279
substances the word I think I was looking for in

265
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,919
terms of your lyrics. It's not just you know, we're grunge,

266
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:09,840
we're sad, whatever. It seems like you're really going for

267
00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:10,559
something there.

268
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 6: I would say, it's not not really a theme that

269
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:17,600
we've hit on that, but we've definitely you're writing saying

270
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,440
that we've tried to get more substance into this round

271
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,039
of songs.

272
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, where Yeah.

273
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,159
Speaker 6: I think we've really tried to create or start with

274
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,399
a story or a strong concept. So there's a song,

275
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,279
the title track sextieth, which is the one that's coming

276
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:39,080
out with the album, that's about a man being buried

277
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,200
alive underground willingly so that he can enjoy the sensation

278
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:49,240
of being eating alive by insects because that is his fetish.

279
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: Oh my, yeah, yeah, it's nice and happy this one.

280
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

281
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 6: On Animals, there's a song about a butterfly eating and

282
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:01,759
and there's a lot.

283
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:04,919
Speaker 3: Of nature, a lot of death. The whole album revolves

284
00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:07,039
around that, that sort of rotting.

285
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 6: Grotesque kind of Ye, it would be the theme of

286
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,559
the album is grotesque imagery.

287
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're trying to be gross.

288
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:20,759
Speaker 3: We're being profound all the time. Signatures were gross, so like, yeah,

289
00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:23,240
why not make everything else minging. There was a four

290
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:29,480
minute track of just audio of lyrics. Throwing up was

291
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,399
the song that was originally seven minutes long, that it's

292
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:36,320
not a single. We played it live once the full

293
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:41,799
seven minutes set over. We don't have more time. No

294
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,440
one enjoyed that we did.

295
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: It was like the job was Spinal Tap, the jazz

296
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:54,759
odesty we made a jazz obviously was.

297
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: I was thinking about Spinal Tap when you know, when

298
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,799
you were saying, you know, the songs about you know, death,

299
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:59,279
I was thinking about Sir denisat and Hog when he says,

300
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,080
you know, every every film and every cinema is about death,

301
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,440
death cells.

302
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does. Well.

303
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: That's why today we were discussing writing a new album,

304
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,480
but we're all all going to be on bass, and

305
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,279
then we were discussing the Spinal Tap.

306
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:19,879
Speaker 1: This is Spinal Tap is my favorite movie of all time,

307
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:20,600
by the way, So.

308
00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:23,279
Speaker 3: There's another one that's just come out, you know.

309
00:15:23,679 --> 00:15:26,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jenny, Jenny and I did watch the sequel. It's

310
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,840
all right. I mean it doesn't have the magic of

311
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,080
the original, but it's okay. But I've seen the original

312
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,799
a thousand times. I don't think we're gonna watch the

313
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:37,960
sequel again. But okay, here's the obvious question. Where does

314
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,440
the name loud George come from?

315
00:15:40,679 --> 00:15:40,879
Speaker 3: Oh?

316
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 6: My my girlfriend at the time ex girlfriend now said

317
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,879
it in her sleep at two o'clock in the morning.

318
00:15:49,039 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: Just woke up and said, oh, George, really, that's quite good.

319
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,759
It's healthy that that was your thought. It wasn't like it.

320
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:02,879
That was my second right, right. No one called George

321
00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:05,360
apart from whoever she was seeing.

322
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,399
Speaker 1: My goodness. Well, whoever whoever George is, I hope he

323
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,919
knows that there's a band named after him.

324
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:17,559
Speaker 3: Did we find another, like a company called loud George?

325
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: Well that was when you When we designed the logo,

326
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,840
Nick wrote the LG logo.

327
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:24,399
Speaker 3: Do you remember that?

328
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,039
Speaker 4: It was like the L inside the G.

329
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,519
Speaker 3: I don't think do you have LG over there? Life's

330
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:31,200
good the tech brand LG.

331
00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: We have LGE.

332
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:39,559
Speaker 2: When we were making the logo for it, Nick described

333
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:44,039
the LG logo, it was like we should have the

334
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,679
L inside.

335
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: That my brain was suped.

336
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:54,679
Speaker 1: So so is that like, have you used that actual logo?

337
00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 6: Okay, there have been a few logos over the years,

338
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,600
but no, we didn't just completely rip off.

339
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, there might be a season desist

340
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,680
letter in your future if you did.

341
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, they shout that down straight away, those two

342
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:10,519
they didn't like my logo.

343
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:14,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well that's all right. Well it's a cool name.

344
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,720
So so what's so refresh our memories again? So the

345
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,759
it's not in a full album, right, it's an EP

346
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,240
Sex Teeth, No, it's.

347
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 4: It's a thirteen tracker year.

348
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: Oh it is.

349
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think about seven of them have come out

350
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:35,680
and oh, the latest to being Nicole and Monolith. Okay,

351
00:17:35,759 --> 00:17:39,880
and then on the thirteenth of March, we've got a

352
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,240
thirteen track album coming out, so there'll be what like

353
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,160
four or five songs that people haven't heard.

354
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: Oh fantastic.

355
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a blast to record it, honestly, excellent,

356
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:52,440
very weird, weird time signature is very fun. Listen.

357
00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's fantastic. Okay, So that's coming out March thirteenth. Excellent, excellent.

358
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,559
I can't wait to hear that. So, guys, where's the

359
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:02,519
best place to go online for people to keep up

360
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,359
with everything that you're doing. Where should they go to

361
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,319
keep up with loud George in Instagram?

362
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 4: We're very active on Instagram.

363
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: We do want to promote the band camp ever get

364
00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:15,119
on the bank, Yes, we love go to the bank, cap.

365
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: T shirt on the.

366
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 4: Don't order a medium with now.

367
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm a big I'm a big proponent of band

368
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,880
camp because the thing that people might not realize about

369
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,519
band camp too is that you get a very high

370
00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:35,440
quality file. You know. It's it's much better to get

371
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,240
your music from band Camp than to say, you know,

372
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:39,279
if you're streaming it on YouTube, which a lot of

373
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,480
people do, you know, because it's so easy, or or

374
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,720
even Spotify. If you get it from band camp, you're

375
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,720
getting the highest quality file that is available typically, And

376
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:49,599
so I'm a big proponent of band camp.

377
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything that we've got up on there is like

378
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,920
it's all webs like it's the highest we could bounce

379
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:58,440
ours and we do all ourselves as well. So that's

380
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,680
that's the great thing. Like when when Eric finished master

381
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:03,240
and everything, and we just make sure that we've got

382
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:06,400
all the tags done, but like the whole first CD

383
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:09,599
the things that we saw our gigs and there are

384
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:12,079
all WAPs. It is as much as we can get.

385
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:16,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that's excellent, excellent. Well, guys, thank you

386
00:19:16,839 --> 00:19:18,480
so much for joining us in a moment. We're going

387
00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:20,799
to hit this track Monolith. What should we know about

388
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:23,680
this is there? You know we talked about Nicole. Is

389
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,759
there a story with Monolith or what? What should our

390
00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:27,559
listeners know about this before they hear it?

391
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,839
Speaker 2: Well, this is so this is Eric again. So what

392
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,519
happened was his Nick had wrote four thousand songs.

393
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 4: And we're trying to contribute songs to it.

394
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,079
Speaker 2: I bashed it out in my garage in like a

395
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,720
few hours and then sent it and was.

396
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: Like, is this is this weird enough?

397
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,319
Speaker 4: Yeah?

398
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, we then workshopped it.

399
00:19:46,079 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, this is this.

400
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,079
Speaker 3: This song was like basically Eric having a panic, a panic.

401
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: And I really love it. It's it's great, it's weird.

402
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,240
It's Monolith is one of my favorites.

403
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: Okay, it was.

404
00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: It very nearly ended up on the fridge. No all,

405
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:08,720
Eric is a great no, great song though, and again

406
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,720
weird time signatures, but like I feel like what me

407
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:14,880
and Sam are bouncing around with you can you can

408
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,839
still like move to it even though it's in an

409
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:23,839
odd number. Yeah yeah, really really weird vocals though from

410
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,960
from from our Eric. In terms of what the actual

411
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,720
lyrical content is, I think it's just just a synopsis

412
00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:34,240
of what the whole album is about again, just the

413
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:39,160
whole death and weird things that we wanted to write about.

414
00:20:39,319 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: Right right, very good, very good. So we're gonna play this,

415
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,839
but we'll let you guys go in the meantime. But

416
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,559
I really want to thank you all three of you

417
00:20:46,599 --> 00:20:48,000
for being with us today. This has been a lot

418
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:50,319
of fun. Like I said, I listen to everything that

419
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,559
you have available on band camp and I really like it.

420
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,240
Can't wait to hear the full album and we will

421
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:57,799
definitely do this again as you guys are releasing new music.

422
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:02,200
We'd love to have you back in the future. Brilliant

423

this a lot. And remember sex Teeth coming out on
