00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:31,280
seen him since like eleven PM.

15
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,719
Speaker 1: Uh huh, all right.

16
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:32,439
Speaker 2: I'm Adam.

17
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 4: I'm the guitar slash bass player. Uh and I do

18
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,520
the lead vocals.

19
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,439
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and you sir Jim de Luca played drums

20
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,479
very good. So what now now? So before he combusted,

21
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,359
what did what a mouth?

22
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:52,359
Speaker 2: Well, he also played guitar and bass duties.

23
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,439
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. Yeah, you guys do like a trade off.

24
00:00:55,679 --> 00:00:58,039
Speaker 4: We we have a we use ab y splitters, yeah,

25
00:00:58,039 --> 00:00:59,840
and we run our guitars into bass.

26
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: That's right. I remember we talked about that last time

27
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,959
and I was fast by that. Yeah yeah, yeah, that

28
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,599
gives you, yeah, that part of what really I think

29
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,760
kind of gives you your sound, your signature.

30
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,439
Speaker 2: It creates quite a wall.

31
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, very cool. We're going to play one of your

32
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,480
songs in a in a couple of minutes. But we

33
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,519
should mention too now. Uh, you know because on uh

39
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:38,879
doors down the same hallway.

40
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:39,599

hypnotherapist and I'm gonna be actually doing sessions there in

Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, gat so very excited. We're there on Tuesday,

48
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,719

Well why don't we play?

51
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,199
Speaker 2: So we talked about.

52
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,319
Speaker 1: Playing reflections so we can give this a spin and

53
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:15,159
then we'll come back and we'll talk and catch up

54
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:18,199
with everything you guys are doing. But this is from

55
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,680
Arrival of the Waves. The this is the current album, right,

56
00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:25,039
the newest album. And yeah, and this is an instrumental,

57
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,400
which is cool because this will really give people an

58
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,759
idea of your sound in terms of you know, like

59
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,400
you were saying, the low end and everything. So let's

60
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,159
give this a spin and then we'll come back and

61
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,400
talk with these guys. This is called Reflections and the

62
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:41,919
band is able Blood. Whoops, And it would help if.

63
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:43,759
Speaker 2: There we go.

64
00:02:43,879 --> 00:04:57,319
Speaker 5: Let's try that again.

65
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 6: In the.

66
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: That is so cool.

67
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,079
Speaker 1: That's got a nice groove to it. That is able Blood.

68
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,399
The track is called Reflections and it's from the album

69
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,160
Arrival of the Waves. And if you're just joining us

70
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,839
on this Saturday morning here on Matt Connorton Unleashed, we

71
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:23,680
have two thirds of able Blood here with us alive

72
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,639
in studio. And yeah, you guys were kind of talking

73
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,879
off here about how that track came about.

74
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really strange.

75
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 4: I mean I think it was in the middle of

76
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,160
the winter, right, it was really cold and our old

77
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:38,120
bass player, this was before the days of Malcolm had

78
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,680
to run in the house for something, and all of

79
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,240
a sudden, I just came up with that opening riff, yeah,

80
00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:46,360
and Jimmy just started playing in the drums to it,

81
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:49,600
and literally Ben was gone for five minutes and by

82
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,279
the time we get back, we had all the parts

83
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:53,680
like written to it, and then we're just like, I

84
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,839
think by the end of that jam, we had what

85
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,439
was the most part this whole song, Yeah, for the

86
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,839
most part, and like we had decided right then and there,

87
00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:03,920
like no lyrics, We're just going to do this as

88
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:06,399
an instrumental, and it was just like it was one

89
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:09,079
of those magical moments as a musician, you know what

90
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,720
I like, sometimes people are like, you know this like

91
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,199
the the best songs ever written usually come really quickly.

92
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and yeah to me, I mean.

93
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,439
Speaker 4: That's probably my favorite song on that album and it

94
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:20,639
came within minutes.

95
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,079
Speaker 2: Yeah.

96
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: Is that your only instrumental?

97
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: We have one on our first album called Unknown Variant,

98
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:30,920
which I love that one too, But yeah, we've got

99
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:34,000
two instrumentals right now. We're not a post to writing

100
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,960
a ton more of them. Yeah, we kind of love

101
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,240
it's just like that Jammy feel that we do. So yeah,

102
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,000
I think, you know, in the future more will come.

103
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you guys working on anything nude? I mean,

104
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,159
do you have a new material you're planning to record.

105
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 4: We've got some new songs. I think we're planning to

106
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,399
take the winter off from gigging and use. We've been

107
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:57,759
just cranking busy all summer shows and uh yeah, I

108
00:08:57,759 --> 00:09:01,080
think we're just gonna sit down and focus on getting

109
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,080
some new material. We do have one song that we've

110
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,720
nearly completed, and once you can ask the guys in

111
00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:10,320
the band once, once we get into a groove, I

112
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,120
write songs like like quick. So yeah, we won't have

113
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:19,320
any any problem putting some new material together over the winter.

114
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,799
And I think we're considering re re recording our first

115
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,559
album really yep, So we might end up doing that

116
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:32,879
this winter itself. I think we could. We love the

117
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:37,080
the studio we've done both albums at. I think it

118
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,840
was it was the production on it and it being

119
00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:43,399
that it was our first album, we were we were like,

120
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:45,720
you know, like, let's just let's just do it and

121
00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:47,879
release it, and we could have taken our time a

122
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:51,840
little bit more on on certain things. And I think

123
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,600
I've basically rewritten the songs since we've recorded them, just

124
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,639
what always happens, because I mean you're really only getting

125
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,960
a snapshot in time sure when you do record an album.

126
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,399
So the songs have evolved since then and stuff, and

127
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,240
I think they sound a lot better now, So.

128
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: I mean the tempos have changed dramatically.

129
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, but the way we play him now versus when

130
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:13,080
we recorded.

131
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: That, Okay, Yeah, I would imagine these songs too. I

132
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,480
mean they must change live when you play.

133
00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:20,919
Speaker 4: Them, they must change. I don't play, I don't play.

134
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:23,080
Uh needs to live the same way as we recorded

135
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,720
it a year ago. Yeah, yeah, they And I think

136
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,960
that's the way they should be, and like songs should be.

137
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,159
Speaker 1: They're living things, right right, they should be able to Yeah,

138
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:37,519
yeah absolutely. Where So where do you guys record?

139
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:37,639
Speaker 8: Like?

140
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: Where was the Rival of the Waves?

141
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: We recorded that at loud Sun Studios down over in Jeffrey.

142
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,799
Ben Rodgers recorded that for us.

143
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: He's amazing.

144
00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's excellent, excellent at recording. We did master it

145
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,320
at Blackhearts Sound excellent.

146
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:53,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

147
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: Eric's got a great reputation and yeah, yeah, he treats

148
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,840
everybody so cool.

149
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: So we we had him on the show a few

150
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,639
months ago, and uh, we've been trying to get him

151
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:06,039
on because you know, his name comes up all the

152
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:08,320
time on the show, so it was cool to finally

153
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,360
have him on Super Busy.

154
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 4: Everybody loves what his recording absolutely, yeah, I mean he

155
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,879
knows what he's doing.

156
00:11:14,039 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, he's he's fascinating to talk to too,

157
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,879
but yeah, very very knowledgeable. And then so the the

158
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,879
other album that's the other one that's on band camp,

159
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,039
was that also recorded in the same place.

160
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:26,879
Speaker 2: Okay, yep.

161
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 4: I was in a cowpunkish type of band about ten

162
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:35,919
fifteen years ago. Yeah, and I was introduced to Ben

163
00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:38,399
through them. We did a little ep, did like four

164
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,480
songs back then, and uh loved the experience. So I've

165
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,799
never recorded with anybody else. Yeah, oh interesting, Yeah, yeah,

166
00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:47,559
I really like him.

167
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:54,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh so live is it the configuration that

168
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:56,639
you guys play in, because you know, we were we

169
00:11:56,639 --> 00:11:59,000
were talking earlier, you alluded to, well, you have a

170
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,799
unique setup.

171
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 4: Yes, it is a unique setup, and I won't get

172
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,399
two into the weeds with it, but we we I

173
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,000
basically I plug my my my guitar into a splitter

174
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,960
and I split one into my into my guitar board,

175
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,720
and I split the other signal into a bass amp.

176
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,080
And it's a little bit of other things going on

177
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:19,840
in between, but you probably Yeah, I've got octave pedal

178
00:12:19,879 --> 00:12:22,399
that will take down I think it's two octaves that

179
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,639
I bring down the guitar when it goes into the

180
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:28,279
bass amp and so it's just all low end from that.

181
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,679
And Malcolm does the same thing. So basically what we

182
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:34,440
we do, we basically have two bass players because we

183
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,159
play different things in the songs too. So the bass

184
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:41,159
lines are they're in the same key, but they're intermingling

185
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:42,759
with each other, but they're not We don't play the

186
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:47,240
same bass lines, so it just creates this huge wall

187
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,960
of sound. It's it's so fun. And when you're up

188
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,919
there and you just you can close your eyes while

189
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:54,279
you're playing on Jimmy does. That's what he's how he

190
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,720
plays is with his eyes closed, kind of just wash

191
00:12:57,799 --> 00:13:01,840
over you and it's it's yeah, and and I can't

192
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,919
you just turn the amp up as loud as it'll

193
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,799
go before it blows your ear drums and and just

194
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:10,000
let it do its thing. Yeah, and it just yeah,

195
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,360
it feels really really good.

196
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 7: We get so many compliments. People come up to us

197
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:17,440
at live shows, like what do you do? How are

198
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,559
you guys doing that. Yeah, that sounds amazing.

199
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: I can imagine.

200
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, does anybody else do it that way?

201
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 2: There's a been trading tombstones that does the same. Yeah.

202
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 7: There's a pretty well known band, Telekinnectic Getty okay.

203
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,799
Speaker 4: Who is playing Tuesday night at Jewel. We get to Actually,

204
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,840
we're opening for them. They were the inspiration for how

205
00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:45,279
we do what we do. Okay, so it's gonna be

206
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,799
kind of a full circle moment for us.

207
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: You open them.

208
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, we get to open for him, so that'll be

209
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:51,080
really fun.

210
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,039
Speaker 2: There are two piece they're out of Iowa, okay. Yeah.

211
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,960
The people all over the country are doing this interesting.

212
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,639
Speaker 1: Did it take some getting used?

213
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

214
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

215
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:05,759
Speaker 4: The first show we played, we had lost our bass player.

216
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: Like just a couple of weeks before that.

217
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 4: Oh, so I didn't know what the heck I was doing,

218
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,120
and you know, trying to get all the right buttons

219
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,919
and getting the bas to click in when I wanted

220
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:16,840
to click in and stuff. It was a learning process. Yeah,

221
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:18,759
I feel like I've got it down pretty good now.

222
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,279
It's been a year all over a year of doing it,

223
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:25,360
and uh, but it's fun, like trying to trying to

224
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,000
remember which pedal to hit what I ever been sing

225
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,600
and you know, and then you got the crowd looking

226
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:31,559
at you and everything. So there's a lot kind of

227
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,799
going on. Yeah, I love it.

228
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,799
Speaker 1: And even if something goes wrong, it's original music, so

229
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,879
you know, the audience doesn't have to know or no,

230
00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:42,080
or maybe maybe there's even a happy accident.

231
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: Drummer doesn't even know.

232
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: Like we've played last night, I was screwing up all

233
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,440
over like, oh, that was the best that we've ever played.

234
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:48,679
Speaker 8: Yeah.

235
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:51,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I even can fool him.

236
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: That's fantastic.

237
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

238
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: So you guys have been busy out of busy summer,

239
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:56,720
you play.

240
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: We played a lot.

241
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

242
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:00,639
Speaker 4: We were down in Maryland. They had a big doom

243
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:02,480
fest down there. It's fifty three bands. We got to

244
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,360
open the whole festival.

245
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:03,879
Speaker 2: O my god.

246
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:08,559
Speaker 4: Yeah that was a blast awesome. Yeah, it's the Maryland

247
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,200
doom Fest.

248
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,279
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of it.

249
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 4: Oh, fifty three bands, yeah, from all over the world.

250
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:16,200
It was fantastic. Yeah, tenth year they've done it.

251
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, but where Maryland is Frederick, Frederick.

252
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:22,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's like an hour from Baltimore, Okay, yeah,

253
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:26,000
and uh yeah it was bands from Washington State it

254
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,200
was bands from Ireland that came. I mean just absolutely

255
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,039
amazing experience and it was like a family there, Like

256
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,879
as soon as I walked in and they just started

257
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:36,399
talking to all the other bands, like I felt like

258
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,399
I was at home. Yeah, you know, because doom isn't

259
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:43,080
there's a doom bands around here, but it's it's not.

260
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,240
It doesn't feel like it's as popular in New England

261
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,200
as it is in other places, you know. So when

262
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:49,200
I got to go out where all of us got

263
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,679
to go out and explore, you know, a different region

264
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,480
of the country and see all these people come together

265
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:57,440
from everywhere and we're all like, oh, this is this

266
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,159
is our family.

267
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it felt it felt oh cool cool.

268
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,559
Speaker 1: By the way, So do describe that if you could,

269
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,440
for for listeners who don't know what you mean when.

270
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: Yes, it's I kind of from a thousand foot view

271
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:14,720
would say, it's just it's heavy metal, but it's slowed

272
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:18,399
way down. Yeah, and you know, we get some really

273
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,279
heavy restaurant. We're a really psychedelic influence too, like on

274
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,879
a big Pink Floyd Yeah fan and sixty psych, so

275
00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,799
we throw a lot of that in. But yeah, I mean,

276
00:16:28,879 --> 00:16:31,320
do them I mean, essentially, that's what it is. It's like,

277
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,720
just get the heaviest riffs you can come up with,

278
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,200
slow them way down.

279
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: No, that's a good that's a good descission of it.

280
00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 7: You think like Sabbath, like Sabbath started at all, you know. Yeah, yeah,

281
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:47,200
so we we kind of take bits of Sabbath and

282
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,399
bits of Pink Floyd and kind of mesh them together

283
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,039
at times.

284
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot a lot of other bands mixed in that,

285
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:58,159
you know. That's what those are, the two bands. I

286
00:16:58,159 --> 00:17:00,960
think that most people would recom right.

287
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: Right, Well, we should play another track, what I know,

288
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,079
we talked about it earlier. You guys had a couple

289
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:07,960
of songs in mind.

290
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,799
Speaker 4: But you need to live? You want to do that?

291
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:14,240
One needs to live? Would be well, do needs to live?

308
00:21:57,559 --> 00:21:59,880
the song. The band is able Blood and we have

309
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:02,799
we have Adam and Jimmy here with us live in

310
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,920

311
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,559
that's that's really really good. By the way, So who

312
00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:12,880
writ Adam? Do you write the lyrics?

313
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 2: I do? What?

314
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: What's what's kind of your Is there a theme to

315
00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:17,240
your songs?

316
00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 4: There a particular I have these stories going on in

317
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,559
my head, and I think during this one, like I

318
00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:27,839
don't I haven't written like actual stories, right, And it's

319
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,319
just kind of things that go on my head. And

320
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:33,200
I guess this whole album I was kind of and

321
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,759
I think the first album too, I just kind of

322
00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:41,480
imagine like a post apocalyptic world and the coast of

323
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:44,599
the United States is now in Iowa, and I just

324
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,640
instead of creating a story, I have these snapshots in time,

325
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:53,599
and so I'm just kind of like imagining myself in

326
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,599
that place and what I'm seeing at that particular moment

327
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,160
or what I'm going through at that particular moment in

328
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,680
the story. Okay, and so there's not really it's it's

329
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,960
an overall story, not let nothing necessarily like going on

330
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,200
like of value in the lyrics at the moment. It's

331
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,000
just like me walking down a street where people are

332
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,880
like it's in this song. I'm just seeing like like

333
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:21,960
a weird market that I'm at where people are like

334
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:25,160
just doing their thing, like trying to make a scrape

335
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,799
by a living Yeah, is basically what's happening. Okay, So yeah,

336
00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:31,480
they're kind of is kind of a weird approach to

337
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,839
lyric writing. But I'm just kind of just whatever's there,

338
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,559
you know what i mean. It's just like a snapshot

339
00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:39,640
in time is basically the best way to describe it.

340
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: You ever, you ever write anything like based on a

341
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,359
dream that you had, Like you wake up and you go, oh,

342
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,839
I got to write something.

343
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:51,079
Speaker 4: You know, I've never actually had that happen. I've had

344
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,720
some weird dreams that I probably should write about, but yeah,

345
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:57,920
most of it's just a just a made up world

346
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,559
that I'm just kind of like imagining.

347
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 2: Happening or a scenario that could happen.

348
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, yeah, by the way, so I know, I

349
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,079
know you can't be specific, but you guys do have

350
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,480
some good news coming up that you'll be announcing soon.

351
00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 4: We're yeah, we're in the process of working out a

352
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,559
distribution deal for for arrival of the Waves. Okay, Yeah,

353
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,359
so there'll be some worldwide distribution happening.

354
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,759
Speaker 2: We're pretty excited about.

355
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:25,599
Speaker 4: But we're a few weeks away from being able to

356
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,720
finalize that. But yeah, I mean it's essentially a done deal. Yeah,

357
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,680
but we just have to kind of work through the

358
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,839
little stuff right there. But yeah, we're super excited about it,

359
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:40,680
super excited hopefully, you know, like I really feel like

360
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,920
this album needs to see the light of day, and

361
00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:46,720
it hasn't quite seen it up, you know what I mean.

362
00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:48,680
It hasn't been pushed out there is quite as much

363
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,559
as I would have liked it to be. So to

364
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,720
have a little bit of help is going to be amazing. Yeah,

365
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:57,920
and hopefully it does well. I mean, I've you know,

366
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,279
I put a lot of heart and soul. I mean,

367
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,519
Jimmy and Malcolm have put everything they've had into it,

368
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:06,079
and I think it shines through in the recording. So yeah, yeah,

369
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:09,880
to have some people, extra set of ears and hands

370
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,279
and everybody to help us, you know, get it out

371
00:25:12,279 --> 00:25:13,839
there a little bit more, it's gonna be incredible.

372
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: Absolutely, congratulations on that.

373
00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: Thank you do you guys?

374
00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:23,279
Speaker 1: I mean I assume, like what what do you attribute

375
00:25:23,319 --> 00:25:26,000
to being able to do that and to make that

376
00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:27,599
kind of a connection and get that kind of help.

377
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,440
Is it because you've been so active with shows, just

378
00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:32,359
hitting the road a lot and playing.

379
00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:34,039
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of that, a lot of.

380
00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 4: A lot of yeah, you know, networking with people you know,

381
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:42,960
and and and I'm telling you there's a ton of

382
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,880
bands out there and a ton of them that are

383
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,720
willing to and and us as well, Like we'll we'll

384
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,839
help you get on shows. We'll give you advice of

385
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,440
what they're doing, what's what they're doing that's helping them succeed,

386
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,920
you know. And we do the same thing for other

387
00:25:57,079 --> 00:25:59,519
you know, other bands too. And it's like, you know,

388
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,279
they'll be like, you know, who's who you know? Bandlbass

389
00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:04,240
me like who did you contact for this show or

390
00:26:04,279 --> 00:26:06,079
this place or that blah blah blah, And I'll be like,

391
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,160
here's everything. I got, you know, like I'm always willing

392
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,200
to help and I want to see everybody in the

393
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,319
scene succeed. And I feel like a lot of the

394
00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:17,839
bands that I've come across, vast majority of them are

395
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,559
the same way, Like they're like, yeah, here this is

396
00:26:20,839 --> 00:26:23,400
you know, call this person or do it, you know,

397
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,400
and I think that's almost one hundred percent. The best

398
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,839
way to start to get a following and stuff is networking.

399
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: It is. It is so helpful.

400
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 4: And you know, when you when you're first starting out

401
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,359
and you don't know anybody and you don't even know

402
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,240
where to start, you know, it seems like you're never

403
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:45,240
going to crack into up.

404
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, really tough.

405
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 4: But once we got a recording and we just started

406
00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:52,160
kind of shopping it around and then things just kind

407
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,319
of start to snowball, you know. And and this year

408
00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:58,240
I think like me and Jimmy will put shows together

409
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,319
and invite bands to come and play. But this year

410
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,319
we've put very few together, and we've gotten invited to

411
00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:10,799
so many and we're just really grateful that that's been happening.

412
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:12,599
Speaker 2: It's really nice.

413
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,799
Speaker 7: I mean, other bands even recommend us, you know, like

414
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,519
they'll be looking for another band for a show and

415
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,759
other people say, hey, askable blood and you know, so

416
00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:24,920
we're even getting that kind of buzz, which is nice.

417
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, you've sent some people our way.

418
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: Yes, you said the people are the.

419
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 9: Best recommendations I get are always from other musicians.

420
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, yeah, if a band is you know, I

421
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,559
like them, I'm gonna recommend them, and you know, and

422
00:27:39,599 --> 00:27:42,319
I'm proud to do it, you know, and I want

423
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,519
to hear them on your show.

424
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. I feel like, uh, it's it

425
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,079
with music, it's it's very sort of community oriented in

426
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,079
that way. People want to help each other and build

427
00:27:56,079 --> 00:27:59,160
those relationships. I kind of in my mind, I contrast

428
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,599
it with listen to some podcasts where there's a lot

429
00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:05,720
of talk about stand up comedy and how stand up

430
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,759
comedy works and how people succeed in that, and I

431
00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:11,920
get the impression that that's very different from music, because

432
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,799
in stand up comedy it sounds like it's very very

433
00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:19,079
cutthroat and everyone's always trying to keep everybody else down

434
00:28:19,559 --> 00:28:22,200
so they can rise up, whereas in music it's not

435
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:22,920
really like that.

436
00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:26,079
Speaker 7: It kind of was back in the nineties, it kind

437
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:29,359
of was like that. I mean, maybe not cutthroat, but

438
00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:33,880
you always felt like there was a competition going on. Yeah,

439
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,799
and you had to kind of claw your way up. Now,

440
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,240
I mean, bands like Adam said, they're so eager to

441
00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:44,200
work together and lift each other up. And yeah, it

442
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,559
only makes sense because I don't listen to one band

443
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,119
right then, you know, and those other people don't listen

444
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,200
to just one band, So why can't we all work

445
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,039
together to do it right? Because like when you go

446
00:28:58,119 --> 00:29:00,160
to a show and you say, this four band is

447
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,920
playing and they all have a little bit different of

448
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,079
a sound, you're allowed to like them all.

449
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,759
Speaker 4: So it makes the entire evening enjoyable. When everybody's doing

450
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:10,319
you know, it's it's yeah.

451
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I'm friends with a band out of

452
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:19,640
Oklahoma that's just awesome. Can I plug them? Trillion ton

453
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,440
beryllium Ships, absolutely amazing band. They just they just dropped

454
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,799
a brand new single called Bugs.

455
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,039
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can say the name after

456
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:34,759
only hearing that's a trillion ton beryllium ships.

457
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:40,079
Speaker 7: Yes, got absolutely amazing ships ships s h IV.

458
00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: I'm sorry they're out of Nebraska. I'm sorry.

459
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: I didn't want to I get confused in that whole area,

460
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,359
but it is like they're out of Lincoln, Nebraska, Okay,

461
00:29:50,759 --> 00:29:53,720
and I've never even met them. We just we've developed

462
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,519
a relationship over social media and everything, and we just

463
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,039
plug each other all the time.

464
00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: We're very supportive all the time.

465
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,759
Speaker 7: And yeah, I'm I'm in hope that someday we'll play

466
00:30:03,759 --> 00:30:06,279
a show with them somehow, some way. Yeah, I'd love

467
00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:09,079
to see them go to Maryland Doomfest and and meet

468
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,680
up there, you know. Yeah, it just goes to show

469
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,119
that the kind of like Adam said, the networking that

470
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,960
happens now, I absolutely love it.

471
00:30:16,119 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

472
00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:19,759
Speaker 1: I think the Internet obviously makes sure it's so much huge,

473
00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:21,759
you know, because when we grew up there, you know,

474
00:30:21,799 --> 00:30:26,319
we didn't have that, and so that's I think it's changed,

475
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,720
you know, it makes everything more community oriented because their

476
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,799
community really can be global. I also think too, and

477
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:36,119
it's funny, this particular thought had never occurred to me

478
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,079
until just now, but I think part of why too,

479
00:30:38,079 --> 00:30:40,279
maybe things don't seem quite a Scott throat. I don't

480
00:30:40,279 --> 00:30:43,400
know how you guys feel about this, but I've I

481
00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:47,079
always hated and I say it past tense because you

482
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:50,759
don't see many of them anymore, Thank God. Battle of

483
00:30:50,799 --> 00:30:52,480
the band's events.

484
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan.

485
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: I always hated those. Yeah, and I somebody I think

486
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,000
around here or close to your did do one recently.

487
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:06,519
There was one at the Hillsboro County was there, Yeah,

488
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:08,720
maybe that's the one I'm thinking of because I remember.

489
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,559
Speaker 2: Here there were really good bands that were playing on it.

490
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:13,039
Speaker 1: Because I remember hearing about it and thinking, oh God,

491
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:15,480
somebody's actually in twenty twenty four, somebody's actually doing a

492
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,240
Battle of the Bands. Yeah, and I always hated those.

493
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,640
I mean, first of all, look again, not saying about

494
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,119
any specific one that I know about, or you know,

495
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,079
not not casting aspersions, but they're usually rigged.

496
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,039
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, usually a popularity content.

497
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,799
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and and I just hate that. Like the

498
00:31:35,839 --> 00:31:37,400
whole concept is so it's.

499
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: Mean, it's the term Battle of the bands.

500
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,359
Speaker 4: All the mevers that took part of the Battle of

501
00:31:43,359 --> 00:31:47,279
the Bands got together and put that on as a

502
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:49,559
as a showcase. Yeah, I think it would go so

503
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:50,119
much better.

504
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,359
Speaker 8: Yeah.

505
00:31:50,359 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 4: It wouldn't be competing with each other. They be propping

506
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,039
each other up.

507
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I just yeah, the whole thing. And then

508
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,279
and then you know, and then these bands they have

509
00:31:58,359 --> 00:32:00,920
to you know, get people to oh you show up

510
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,160
and you know, vote for us, and so the whole

511
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,559
thing is awful. Yeah, I'm glad that it's a dying thing.

512
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,599
It's just, uh, I remember, you know, I don't play anymore,

513
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,279
but when I used to play in bands, and i'd

514
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:14,880
play in a band that would get invited to do

515
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,519
one of these, it's like, oh, I don't even want

516
00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:19,640
to bring this to the other guys. It's so great,

517
00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:24,359
it's gross. There was one I did get involved in.

518
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,759
This must have been not not twenty years well maybe

519
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,440
jeesus might have been twenty years ago. You guys remember

520
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:36,599
the bomb shelter yep, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I was, Yes,

521
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:41,480
I was at those shows. There was a there was

522
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,799
a bad I I do remember the guy's name. I'm

523
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:45,680
not going to say it on the air, but there

524
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:50,000
was a guy who was a big promoter in the area.

525
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,720
You might even know who I'm thinking about. We did

526
00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:55,119
a lot of shows there who was putting on a

527
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,039
Battle of the bands, and he was managing one of

528
00:32:59,079 --> 00:33:01,160
the bands that was in the Battle of the bands,

529
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,119
and it became like an open like it it ended

530
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,880
up spilling out into the open. Everybody knew it was rigged,

531
00:33:12,319 --> 00:33:16,599
and but this one though, this particular one, because it's

532
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,839
spilled out in the into the open and everybody knew

533
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,519
it changed the promoter changed it to just a regular show.

534
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:25,039
It was no longer a battle of the bands because

535
00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:29,319
he looked and he didn't look great anyway, this particular

536
00:33:29,359 --> 00:33:31,200
person I'm thinking of, you know what I mean in

537
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,039
terms of reputation, But this whole thing made him look

538
00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:35,880
even worse, and then he ended up changing it.

539
00:33:36,079 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: And he's the thing.

540
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 7: There's so many cool bands around here with great people, right,

541
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,440
they should never, with all the hard work they put

542
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,559
into their craft, should never feel defeated.

543
00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: Right, or they have to compete for it or exactly.

544
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,519
Speaker 7: Yea walking away wishing they had won, Like I don't.

545
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,240
I think everybody wins. If we're doing what we're doing

546
00:33:58,319 --> 00:34:00,720
and we love what we do, we already won.

547
00:34:01,119 --> 00:34:04,599
Speaker 4: I hate award shows and stuff like that, like competition there.

548
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,160
It's just like I don't even I don't want your

549
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,400
vote if it's you know, like I just want you

550
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,480
to listen to the album, come to a showy. You know,

551
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:14,679
I could care less if I get an award for it.

552
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,079
I do it for us, you know, and I do

553
00:34:18,119 --> 00:34:19,639
it for the people. That like to listen to it,

554
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:23,920
you know, right, yeah, it just it almost feels like

555
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,639
Battle the Band type stuff to.

556
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 2: Me, you know what I mean?

557
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly what I mean.

558
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 4: You know, get the album. I don't even care if

559
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,119

00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:35,119

Speaker 3: Show.

563
00:34:36,599 --> 00:34:38,199
Speaker 4: Those are a lot of fun. We love to hang

564
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:41,440
out with people, you know. I would come up and

565
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,599
they're like, hey, I was listening to you know, Enemies today,

566

568
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,039
it's cool when somebody does say stuff like that, and

569
00:34:51,039 --> 00:34:53,480
I love I love hanging out with people that you know,

572
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

573
00:34:59,039 --> 00:35:00,519
Speaker 2: We're very approachable people.

574
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 4: Yes, Jimmy especially especially probably one of the most apportable

575
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,719
people I've ever met.

576
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 1: Oh, very good, very good. Well we should play another Uh,

577
00:35:08,639 --> 00:35:10,400
let's play another track. What do you guys want to

578
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:10,920
What do you guys?

579
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 4: I kind of want to hear trippy Edi. Okay, there's

580
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,760
it's it's a semi instrumental, it's got some some samples

581
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,960
in it. I wrote the song at my house, recorded

582
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:27,599
on my phone, and it ended up being the recording

583
00:35:27,639 --> 00:35:30,360
that ended up on the album. Oh yeah, we didn't

584
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,760
professionally record this song.

585
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: Okay, well that makes me very curious then, because I

586
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,880
don't think we played this one the last time now.

587
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,599
Speaker 4: So it's just got a trippy vibe obviously, the name

588
00:35:39,639 --> 00:35:42,719
Trippy Eddi. Yeah, yeah, and it's just got some samples.

589
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,079
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's give this a spin. This is

590
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,199
Trippy Eddie by Abel Blood.

591
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:15,199
Speaker 8: Congratulations to us, you found a whole. If Franks no literature,

592
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:25,840

593
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,519
Speaker 3: You have no future kids, You have no to that side.

594
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:27,639
But if you preach, can have Moche the father the

596
00:38:02,679 --> 00:38:04,440
the only way out, his way out.

00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: That is.

598
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: That is Trippy Eddie. The band is able Blood.

599
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,039
Speaker 2: That is cool.

600
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:14,559
Speaker 1: What what is that sample from?

601
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:19,639
Speaker 4: Uh, it's a reallyota movie from back in the nineties,

602
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:20,519
No Escape.

603
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,519
Speaker 2: Oh I think it was No Escape as the movie.

604
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,679
Speaker 4: I'm not a big I don't I'm not anti movie. Yeah,

605
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,800
I just don't end up watching a lot of movies. Yeah,

606
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,440
Malcolm's the guy that well is the movie guy. Yeah,

607
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:36,079
he knows every word to every movie ever written or

608
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:39,199
every made. I know nothing, but I think that's from

609
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:39,880
No Escape.

610
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,039
Speaker 1: Okay was that Ray Liota's voice.

611
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:44,599
Speaker 2: I don't know it's been altered.

612
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,039
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, yeah, No Escape. I don't remember that one.

613
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 2: He was a great actor, though, he was. He was.

614
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,760

626
00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:25,039
huge show.

627
00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 2: Though.

628
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: Is horror on that show?

629
00:39:27,519 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: I think they, I think, I think, I think so.

630
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,519
Speaker 1: I think Horror and the Gray Curtain, Yes, okay, horror.

631
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:36,599
Speaker 9: Horror is on there, questioning Beast is on there the

00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:37,280
Great Curtain?

Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because we've got Yeah, because actually, so today's

634
00:39:41,559 --> 00:39:44,400
show is really about that show. Okay, because we've got

635
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,440
because Horror is our our number two guest and then

636
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,400
we have the Great Curtain in our three.

637
00:39:49,559 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 8: So yeah, so.

638
00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 9: Today is all about promoting Terminus Underground.

639
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,079
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, so.

640
00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, we will be there. That one's going to be amazing.

641
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,599
But this Tuesday, we're gonna playing with Telekinetic Yetty over

642
00:40:01,639 --> 00:40:09,480
at Jewel and it's bat Bonginatorator.

643
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha?

644
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I figured there's Stoner death Metal.

645
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: Really okay, so.

646
00:40:18,679 --> 00:40:21,599
Speaker 4: We are super excited to play that show because Telekinetic

647
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,719
Yety is basically the inspiration for our setup where we

648
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,760
don't have a bass player and and we split our

649
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,599
signals and everything. So it's going to be like a

650
00:40:30,599 --> 00:40:33,280
full circle show for us. We're going to be able to,

651
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:35,760
you know, be like we're not worthy guys, but yeah,

652
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,960
we totally rip you off.

653
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 7: I mean, Malcolm and I talked to them because they

654
00:40:40,519 --> 00:40:42,960
played a Jewel earlier in the year. They opened for

655
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
weed Eater, which was an absolutely amazing show. But we

656
00:40:46,119 --> 00:40:48,000
got to talk to the guys from Telekinnectic Yetty and

657
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,199
we're like, we really wanted to play this show, but

658
00:40:50,519 --> 00:40:52,960
we found out late and they're like, well, hopefully we'll

659
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,639
do something in the future, and well the future is now,

00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: Randon Brandon Finnie the drummer. He's been on the show before,

675
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,440
but it was but it was before he played in Vigil.

676
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:38,119
Actually it's quite a few years ago now, Yeah, that

677
00:41:38,519 --> 00:41:40,960
he was on the show. He probably doesn't even remember.

678
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,599
Speaker 2: But I bet he does.

679
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,119

Speaker 1: Yeah, Scuzzy YETI I'm familiar with. I don't think we've

691
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,039
had them on, but I'm familiar.

692
00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: They're from New Hampshire. Yeah, they're out of Troy. Okay, yeah, okay, okay, Yeah,

693
00:42:16,559 --> 00:42:19,800
really really good album. The last album is really good.

694
00:42:20,039 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: And then in the winter, you're probably going back.

695
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 4: And I think we're gonna write songs. Oh yeah, and

696
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,199
then yeah, we're probably gonna do the re recording. We're

697
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,239
considering that we're we're, you know, seventy percent decided that

698
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,360
we're probably gonna record re record keeping pace with the Elephants. Okay,

699
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,480
give it a fresher feel, yeah, and then write a

700
00:42:39,519 --> 00:42:41,840
bunch of songs, yeah, and then just see where they

701
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:42,119
all go.

702
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,519
Speaker 1: You guys must have some stuff you play live that

703
00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:46,480
you haven't recorded yet. I would assume, right, you have

704
00:42:46,519 --> 00:42:47,639
some some newer stuff that.

705
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,679
Speaker 4: We've really been pushing Arrival of the waves the last Yeah, yeah, uh.

706
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,280
We do some riffs that we don't have recorded anywhere.

707
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,119
We kind of open the set with a just some

708
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,199
random riff that we came up with one day and

709
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,920
it just stuck with the set. But we do have

710
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,360
songs in the works, and the one that we've nearly

711
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,800
completed I cannot wait to get recorded. Really, it's gonna

712
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,679
be some of our heaviest stuff that we've done. And

713
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,320
actually the song probably has some of the heaviest stuff

714
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,480
we've done and some of the mellowist stuff we've done

715
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:22,559
in the same song.

716
00:43:22,639 --> 00:43:24,199
Speaker 2: Oh really Yeah, it's pretty good.

717
00:43:24,679 --> 00:43:27,639

727
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:00,159

734
00:44:18,639 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: By the way, so you spelled when you spelled the

735
00:44:21,199 --> 00:44:23,440
able ab e l. It just made me curious. Anyone

736
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:24,400
ever misspell.

737
00:44:24,039 --> 00:44:28,639
Speaker 4: It like always always as abl e. Yeah, that's verify

738
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,039
or people can't find us when they search because they

739
00:44:31,119 --> 00:44:34,199
look a yell. So I always spell it out to

740
00:44:34,199 --> 00:44:35,039
people when they ask.

741
00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:38,239

00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:39,039

743
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:40,519

Speaker 2: Thanks Matt, absolutely, thank you
