Speaker 12: Oh what a great great track. I love that so
much and that's a great way to kick off this
week's Matt Connorton Unleashed. Hello everybody, We are live from
the studios of WMNH ninety five point three FM in
glorious but very wet and rainy Manchester, New Hampshire. The
song you just heard is called Max Scene and the
band is The Forensics. They are from the UK, and
that is the American radio premiere of that track. You
have not heard that anywhere else in the United States.
The song will be released, of course, officially on all
the stream streaming platforms and everything on the twenty third
of May this month, so soon soon, and then the
band is going to be here on the show, not
here in person, of course, but joining us from across
the pond on the thirty first of May. So really
looking forward to talking to them. But that is the
American radio premiere of the new track from the Forensics.
It's called Max Scene. And we'll probably hit that again
in the second and third hour two just to make
sure that no matter when you tune into the show,
you get to hear it. Because that is a great,
great track. I love that so much and really looking
forward to talking with those But you heard it here
first on Matt connorton Unleashed here on WM and H
ninety five point three FM. So today is Saturday, May ten,
twenty twenty five, flying solo this morning. But Jenny will
be back next week. She is in the chat room
though I did see her in there. So but we've
got a great show ahead for you. In just a
couple of moments, we're gonna be joined by Awaiting Abigail.
We did talk to James from the band briefly a
little bit a few weeks ago. But if you are
watching live, if you're watching the video feed on Facebook
or YouTube or wherever you might see it, I do
have my Awaiting Abigail shirt. They sent us a package
of stuff, which is so much fun. And I'll tell
you what these Texas bands especially, they do that, or
Grim from Pennsylvania obviously, artists that we have joining us
in studio who are from the area, they'll they'll bring
stuff with them. But we always appreciate that a little
bit of extra effort that it takes to actually put
something in the mail and send it to us. So
Awaiting Abigail sent us an amazing package of stuff, and
they sent shirts for Jenny and I and a bunch
of cool stuff. So we love getting We love getting
stuff from our guests, and it's not something that we
in any way require or request. They just do it
and we love it and we appreciate it and appreciate
them and looking forward to getting to talk to members
of Awaiting Abigail. I'm not sure how many members are
going to be joining us on the line. We are
going to be doing a little bit of an experiment
this morning. So if you listen to the show last week,
we made radio history here or Matt Connerton on Leashed History.
Sorry if I'm stumbling a little bit here. My full disclosure.
I'll just say this right up front. My allergies have
been brutal lately, so I need a gulp of water.
It'll probably be having many many gulps of water to
get me through the show today because I've just got
all this congestion and you know, the pollen's been really bad.
And then it rains, and I don't like the rainy
weather because it's dreary and it makes me tired, but
as it does affect a lot of us. But then
I hope, well, at least it'll wash away at the pollen,
some of the pollen, but I don't think it actually
works out because I still feel very congested and allergy ish,
if that's a word, which it's not. Anyway, Last week
on the show, because Skype has been discontinued, so we
used WhatsApp for the first time on Matt Connerton Unleashed
our friend at Charles Richardson, host of The Charles Richardson Show,
joined us from Florida using WhatsApp. Went okay. The only
problem with WhatsApp is if you're using it on the desktop.
I haven't figured out yet how to because it's really
it's designed to be a phone app. I haven't figured
out how to answer on the desktop. So there's probably
a way to do it. But when I called so
I had to call Charles, but he wasn't able to
answer on his computer. He had to use his phone
to answer, and he wanted to use his computer because
he's got his professional mic setup and everything that he
uses for his show. Sounded really good anyway, The sound
quality was great, but would have sounded even better if
he was able to actually use his microphone instead of
his phone. But there doesn't seem to be a way.
I'm sure, there's a way. I just haven't figured it
out yet to use WhatsApp where you can just answer
it on your computer, so it's a little trickier. So
I came up with another solution, another service. I don't
want to say what it is. I don't want to
give away too much proprietary information, but it is something
that I'm already used to using. And I sent James
a link to this other service. Will we'll see if
that works. He has the studio line number, so if
that doesn't work, he can call the studio line. But
we're gonna kind of use Awaiting Abigail as our guinea
pig to make sure that the way we're doing it
now works. Because Skype is no more. This little notification
popped up that said Skype is discontinued or being discontinued,
and now you can use Google Teams. But that's that's
not what we need for this. So anyway, so we'll
see what happens. We'll see what happens. But so Awaiting
Abigail is going to be joining us. I got to
keep an eye on that for when they pop in
to the I think I'll hear I think I'll hear
something in my headphones, a chime or something when they arrive.
Coming up in the second hour, we have Trawl from Portland, Maine.
These guys I've been aware of for a while, saw
them live once. Great great band. They're driving down. I hope,
I hope they travel safely in the rain. It's pouring outside,
but they're coming down from Portland, so really looking forward
to meeting them. And then in the third hour, we
have Mike Frasier, who is driving here all the way
from Seattle. No, I'm kidding, he is from Seattle, but
he's actually on tour right now, but the way the
tour routing worked out, he's able to come and join
us here on the program. Jenny and I met Mike
might have been a year ago at the shas Skiene
in Manchester. He was playing a show there, and he's
got a fascinating backstory. He's really been through a lot,
but I think he's well play. We actually did a
world premiere of his newest single, April Days here on
the show a couple of months ago. But really looking
forward to having him and talking to him. Some more
really interesting guy and a very talented musician. Oh h
we've got him coming on in the third hour, So
lots to do today on the show. We've got a
very busy show ahead of us. But welcome everybody if
you are just joining. This is Matt Condorton Unleashed and
we are live from the studios of w m n
H ninety five point three FM. And of course, for
all your streaming options, you can go to my website
Matt conorton dot com slash live and you can join
the audio stream there. You can click a link to

Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 12: Oh, I just heard a chime. That's a good sign.
That's a good sign. I think this is gonna work. Okay,
let's see now I have to add. I just clicked
add to the stream and I hear I hear things.
That's a good sign. I think this is gonna work.
Can you hear me?
Speaker 13: Yes, I can hear you.
Speaker 12: Hey, all right, it works. It works. We're using uh,
we're using some different software than we're used to using
because Skype is Skype is, Skype is no more. Okay, wonderful,
wonderful awaiting abigail, Ladies and gentlemen, who do we have uh,
who do we have? Joined us? On the on the
line here.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so this is Abigail Hill.
Speaker 12: I'm the singer of Awaiting, okay, and who and and is.
Speaker 13: Just I think James is supposed to join as well.
Speaker 12: Hm hmm okay, wonderful. So if I hear another chime,
I'll know to uh, I'll know to add him. Okay, excellent, excellent.
I'm just gonna adjust something here. I'm sorry I'm doing
this live on the air, but I just want to
make sure this is working, okay, because we're doing a
little bit doing this a little bit different. So Abigail, Yeah,
so welcome to the program. I became well. First of all,
thank you for the wonderful package that that the band
sent us. And I wear my uh waiting Jenny and
I we wear our Awaiting Abigail shirts proudly and tell
us about you know, we kind of got when James
was on with us. Oh, I heard another chime. Let's see.
Speaker 9: What's going on up James?
Speaker 12: Welcome?
Speaker 9: What's up? Hey?
Speaker 12: This new software I'm working see I'm using seems to
be working great. So thank you for thank you for
kind of being our guinea pigs with us this morning.
Speaker 9: Hey man, we don't ever mind it. We're guinea pigs
for a lot of stuff. We dig it.
Speaker 12: There you go, there you go. I'm relieved that it
works and we're all able to talk. So yeah, I
was about to ask, Abigail, can you kind of tell
us now you told us when we had you on before,
kind of the history of the band how it all
came together and uh, But I'd like to hear a
little more too, from Abigail's perspective, because it's a unique
project in the sense that you know, it's multi generational
and there's even a father and a daughter combination in
the band, I believe, and the whole deal. So it's
really interesting how this band uh formed, And Abigail, I'd
like to learn a little bit more about you and
how you became a part of the band that is
now awaiting Abigail.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so I started off in musical theater when I
was four, and when I was a little bit older,
I went to this like in town in Tomball was
this rock club thing.
Speaker 13: It is called all about.
Speaker 14: Music and Arts, and I actually got into a rock
band with that, but it wasn't like a like a
big rock band.
Speaker 13: We would just like practice covers just so we get
the feel of it.
Speaker 14: And then I now am then college at ET Arlington,
and I was like really wanting a band because I
also make my own music. I do pop as well,
but I kind of wanted a band to like help
me out and like collaborate because I love collaborating. And
so I got on this app called band Mix, and
that's actually where I found James and he messaged me
and I did an audition from the Pretty Reckless.
Speaker 13: We just did a video audition.
Speaker 14: He liked it, and then we he ended up flying
me out to do a band rehearsal because I was
in Houston for the summer, and.
Speaker 13: We did a band rehearsal with the full band. They
liked me. So then there was the last test.
Speaker 14: The last test was to see if I could songwrite
and then do in the studio to make sure, like
you know, I was the one because he had a
couple of other options, and.
Speaker 13: So I song wrote. I worked with my boyfriend, he's
actually right here.
Speaker 14: We worked at meals on wheels together, so I would
songwrite like in between the routes and stuff, and I
ended up songwriting all four of the EPs, all four
of the songs off of the EP of Bad Mind
and he liked it.
Speaker 13: So we went into the studio and I guess the
studio person he said that he liked me. So that's
kind of what got me into the band.
Speaker 12: And yeah, so it's interesting that you mentioned so you
had initially you had auditioned for the Pretty Reckless, and
then you were able to use that audition to show
that to James.
Speaker 14: I did it, auditioned for the Pretty Reckless, but he
wanted me to sing a pretty reckless song.
Speaker 12: Oh I got you, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just gave it.
Speaker 9: I just gave her a cover, a couple of cover
songs to learn.
Speaker 15: You know.
Speaker 9: That was kind of like our initial screening is like
and then you know, she made the she made a
short order because those were you know, we could tell
she really had some chops from that, and so I
was like, well, the next real test is gonna be,
you know, can she write songs? So we had four
tracks already, the four tracks are on the EP. Those
already existed before Abby was around, and uh, we were
just kind of struggling to find a singer. I mean
we were pretty selective, so we turned a couple of
people away. But anyways, it's crazy because you know that
music's uh everywhere, at least for a small band. And uh,
that those four songs, she laid those down and just
a couple hours, Uh after only rehearsing with us one time.
Speaker 12: Yeah, when something, when something comes together quickly like that,
that's how you know you've really got something when it's
you know, it just makes it kind of seem like
it's fate.
Speaker 9: Yeah, totally, So, so.
Speaker 12: That's very cool. Are you working on You've got the
four tracks that you've released from the the ep Bad Mind.
Do you have more stuff you're already working on?
Speaker 14: Yeah, we do, actually, so we're actually doing a couple
from my actual originals from my pop stuff. One is
called Anxiety, so we transformed that into a rock song,
and then they also had another rock song that they
kind of wrote together, and so I just made lyrics
to that, and you've been performing that live.
Speaker 13: It's called left Out.
Speaker 14: So we're gonna go in the studio and get that
ready and then tonight actually we have a performance as Kida.
Speaker 13: So we're actually doing a new one that was also
from my pop stuff. It's called fun House. So we're
kind of getting new tracks out as well.
Speaker 12: Yeah, excellent. And where did you the ep? Bad mind?
Where did you record this? Because it sounds phenomenal.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Alex Gerst in Empire Sounds Studio and Dallas. He's
absolutely a legend and the production is top quality. And
to be honest with you, we had originally gone in
there with a different vocalist and he and I have
been friends for a long time. We recorded with his
dad and we're kids and we were playing and vocal bands,
and you know, making the CD was a huge deal.
So we've known him for a long time. But he's like, dude,
this music's too good. You got to find the right person.
But he's absolutely a legend. I mean, he does a
lot of a lot of stuff that people can google
him and check him out. He definitely he's definitely like
an additional member of the band when we're working on stuff.
Speaker 12: Yeah, oh that's great. And what's the what's the live situation? Like,
are you able to uh, are you able to do
some live shows or because when you've got a you've
got a large lineup of people and obviously it's you know,
like we said, it's multi generational. I'm sure everyone has
different levels of commitments and obligations that they have to fulfill.
So I'm really curious about the touring situation.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so we're we're playing tonight actually here locally and
for worth. Actually, yeah, we're Everybody is very easy to
work with and it is a multi uh generational. It's
pretty funny. We've got we've got pretty much every decade covered.
But yeah, it's something that we all enjoy and so
we're able to make time for it. We rehearse sometimes
every week, sometimes every other week, but uh, we have
our shows basically scheduled a month apart. As far as
the touring situation will probably be like Weekend Warriors for
a while. On that we've got. I wish that I
could break it right now because it'd be kind of
a huge deal. But we've got a little mini tour. Yeah,
we've got. I just can't I asked, Uh, I asked
the person that's putting it on, and I can't do
it yet, but uh, stand by for a huge announcement
for a little mini tour down in Florida coming up
in September.
Speaker 12: Oh, very cool, very cool. Yeah, is that where you're from?
Are you all in Florida?
Speaker 13: We're from We're based in Dallas, tex Oh.
Speaker 12: That's right, right, yeah, but to get to Florida's probably
not not too bad. What what's the scene like in
Dallas right now? From what I've heard from other guests,
it's pretty good. There's a lot of really good bands
there is that. Is that true?
Speaker 13: Yeah? I would say that's pretty true. There's definitely a
lot of live music down there, and there's different genres too,
which is really cool.
Speaker 12: Excellent, excellent. Do you have other do you have other
bands that you kind of you know, it tempts to
happen organically. Are there other bands in the area that
you've kind of teamed up with as far as playing out.
Speaker 9: For sure? Yeah, for sure. Initially your buddy Mike from
Moonfallen we played their first show, was our first show
also back in December.
Speaker 12: Yeah, oh, very cool.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so we kicked that. We kicked the whole thing
off with a women and metal show that was five
female fronted bands, and man, it really set the tone
for everything that we have done because we hung out beforehand,
did like a pre show photoshet and like seeing the
girls with Abby and like, it was just really cool.
It's like a networking type of thing that I think
has really paid dividends for you know, the whole, the
whole thing so far.
Speaker 12: Well, I can tell you ever since we met Mike Woolsey,
he's been He's sent us so many We've met so
many great Texas bands and artists through him. You know,
he refers people to us, and and it's it's been
really great. You know, he's a great guy, and it's
we've met so much great talent through him. I mean,
Jenny can attest to that too. You know, she does
all the booking, and you know, we love whenever Mike
refers anyone to us, we know it's going to be
someone of great quality. I can't remember if we talked
about this, h when you were on the show with
us before, James, But you've also got and I referenced
a father daughter duo in the band, which is pretty
unusual Mike and Corey.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's super funny. Man Like. So, Corey actually was
a former student of mine when I was teaching school
public school band. So she was a percussionist in one
of my early bands. I was like, I don't know,
maybe four years out of college or something, and she
was a great percussion student. And I didn't really stay
in touch with her. But I connected with her dad
through a local flying club, like a general aviation club,
and we kind of made the connection and it was like, what, like,
your last name is Tulfa. That's a unique name. And
he's like, oh my gosh, you're mister Smith from whatever.
But both but both of them are super cool, like
they're literally down for anything. Like I could call them
up today and say, hey, you know, y'all want to
go to jump in the car and go to road
trip or something, and they'd be like, yeah, we're in.
And I knew Corey's background. You know, the percussionists in
a public school at least around here have to learn
a lot of keyboarding skills, not just drums, so I
knew that. I knew she would be perfect for or
you know, to put behind a keyboard for samples and
different stuff like that. And then Mike has played guitar.
He's the oldest. I'm gonna out him on this. He's
the oldest. He I think he's sixty two right now,
but he looks like he's like like in his forties.
But yeah, anyways, yeah, so he's the oldest sixty two,
and Abby's youngest twenty. But anyways, Mike had Put has
played guitar for a long time, huge kiss fan to
the Freest Guy, and so yeah, so I knew I
could wrangle him in, Like he's kind of like you
just say the word, and both of them are like that.
They just show up and they're down through anything.
Speaker 12: Mm hmmm, Oh excellent. Now, so who's responsible primarily for
the songwriting? Because the songs are really good? You had
sent us a couple of singles which we did play
the last time we talked to you, James, but but
then I ended up playing an extra song. I played
that song I Hate You, which I love that is
so so catchy. But who wrote these primarily? Like, who's
the print songwriter around these?
Speaker 13: Yeah, I would say I do.
Speaker 14: James kind of gave me. He gave me the like
the soundtracks. Yeah, And what I did was I would
just songwrite over them. And since I used to do
like well, I still do pop music. But since I
do pop music, I.
Speaker 12: Kind of know how to make it kind of catchy,
makes sense.
Speaker 13: I think that's why it's fun to like transform it
into a rock song. It's really fun.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, yeah, especially like I said, I Hate You
as such a great hook. You know, it's infectious and
uh no, really good stuff that makes sense. I mean,
is that is that kind of your prior to being
in A Waiting Abigail? Did did you ever you know,
because obviously you you've written a lot of pop music,
but had you ever written anything quite like this where
you're going into it with that sort of rock sensibility
or is this kind of new for you?
Speaker 13: This is kind of new for me, So.
Speaker 14: I think it's kind of cool to to met in
what I've known and I'm kind of of learning.
Speaker 13: More as I go.
Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah, well you're off to a great start. So
that's excellent. That's excellent. And have you done any videos?
Does A Waiting Abigail have any videos yet? Any music videos?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 6: We do.
Speaker 14: We actually have two out. We have Bad Minds and
then we also have Falling Under, which actually just came out.
Speaker 12: Okay, I gotta check that out. Yeah it out? Yeah,
very cool, very cool. So what what is the what's
kind of the future trajectory as far as new music?
I know you've got some stuff you're working on, but
this EP is relatively new, right, so you probably you
probably aren't in a big hurry to get new stuff out,
I would assume, but maybe not.
Speaker 9: Well, it's funny, Matt, because as you know, like the
social media monster and you know, just the scene as
it is, it's hungry and like if you feed it
it once more and yeah, so we actually yeah, and
so we've got like four or five.
Speaker 16: New originals and uh, I don't have an exact plan yet,
but there definitely will will be more music in the
next couple of months, probably like a single, A side
B side thing and then maybe another EP before the
end of the year.
Speaker 9: We write music really fast. It's just a matter of
you know, getting into the studio. And we even work
pretty quickly in the studio because uh, we go in
there with a click track already with the scratch parts down.
I use the same software as Alex, so we're able
to Yeah, we're able to move. We're able to move
pretty quickly. It's just a matter of actually balancing that
with supporting it live. But yeah, it's definitely like, gosh,
that thing's only been out since December, but like everybody
digs all four songs and it's like we've got to
get we've got to feed the monster.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, that is a big challenge in
the social media environment that we're in. You're right, and
it's it's it's hard to keep up with it all too,
you know, with so many different social media services and
and so many different ways now that you can connect
with fans, which is great in the sense that there
are many ways that you can connect with fans, but
also it can be a little overwhelming at times and
trying to figure out how to navigate well, how do
we how do we keep people interested? How do we
keep people engaged? You know, engagement is a word that
you hear a lot when we're talking about social media
and marketing anything really, but but especially music, and how
do you balance that with you also don't want to
oversaturate and you want to make sure that whatever you're
putting out isn't rushed, that it's of quality. So it's
a lot too, it's a lot to kind of navigate through.
But uh, you know, but but so far, it seems
like you're doing great. You've definitely got some some momentum
behind you. And I'm really excited to see what awaiting
a gap. Uh, I can't say it all of a sudden,
awaiting Abigail I'm excited to see, uh, to see what
you have in the future and and you've got and
I'm really excited too to hear what this big announcement
is that you can't tell us yet, but can you
give us a hint, any any hints you can offer.
Speaker 9: I could say, just it's gonna be Florida, it's gonna
be September, and it's going to be a national act. Okay, yeah, yeah,
little four day mini tour with them, and it'll definitely
be somebody. It's somebody that people will definitely know, and
it'll it's a great matchup for.
Speaker 12: Us, not a not a not a national act you
might have mentioned earlier in the conversation by any chance, No,
okay yet, Okay, okay, it's it's coming though, I'm sure
it's coming.
Speaker 9: It's it's our goal.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, very good. Well listen, it's wonderful to
speak to you both this morning. James, of course we
had talked before, and Abigail, it's nice to meet you.
And uh, absolutely, we'll definitely do this again in the
future as you have more music coming out or and
and if you want to come back on to when
you can make make that announcement formally, Uh, you know,
we we Jenny and I are both big fans and
we want to support what you're doing. And I did
get a lot of positive feedback too from from before
when I played those songs on the show and I
was thinking about ending the segment with I'm gonna let
I told you what my personal favorite is, but I
want to let the two of you choose, because I
don't know if there's something you're pushing more than more
than something else from the EP bad mind. But what
would your what would your preference be, James and Abigail,
what would your preference be that I that I closed
the segment with.
Speaker 9: I'll let the little lady pick.
Speaker 12: Okay, I guess I.
Speaker 13: Hate you such your favorite?
Speaker 12: I would yeah, perfect, perfect, Yeah, I I hate you
as my favorite. That is so catchy, Like I said,
I you know, after I played it on the show,
I played it a bunch of times after we got
off the air that day. I was just like, this
is just such a great track, so so wonderful. All right,
well listen, we'll uh, we'll wrap up with that. We'll
let you go and then I'm gonna hit that track.
But Abigail and James so nice to talk with. Thank
you both this morning on Matt connorton Unleashed. I wish
you continued success and I'm sure we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 12: Okay, thank you, Okay, you got it. Thank you. Take care,
bye bye bye.
Speaker 9: All right.
Speaker 12: Wonderful. So that is James, of course had been on
the show. We talked with him a few weeks ago,
and I was wonderful to get to speak with Abigail
as well, the lead singer of Awaiting Abigail, and we're
gonna play this track again. This is this is so
so good. This is called I Hate You. This is

And we've got the members of Trall all four guys
are here with us live in studio. Welcome, gentlemen. Hello,
let's do this. Let's start with you, sir. We'll go
around the room and tell us who you are and
what you do in the band.
Speaker 5: I am Sean. I am the singer of Well. I
make mouth noises. Let me get that right, I make
mouth noises for troll all right, welcome shot.
Speaker 12: I'm Adam. I hit things, Adam, you hit.
Speaker 28: Things, okay. I played guitar, justin you play guitar. Very good, seth.
I play the big guitar or also known as the bass.
Speaker 12: The bass. Yes, yes, well, welcome, by the way, I
did enjoy we were talking off here. I really like
that that bass solo there and braggadocio. That's really good.
Speaker 28: Thank you so much.
Speaker 12: That was fun to do that every band has to
have a bass solo song. Well actually a lot of
bands would disagree with that, but I'm all for.
Speaker 28: It anytime I can sneak one in there, I'm always psych.
Speaker 12: Absolutely absolutely man. And by the way, so I appreciate
you guys traveling too. You know, we have a lot
of artists on the show from various parts. We just
talked to awaiting Abigail from Texas, of course, and they
skyped in or what we're using in place of Skype
now because Skype is apparently away. But usually you know,
when people are joining us live in studio, they're usually
you know, maybe within within an hour max. But you
guys drove all the way down from Portland on a
rainy Saturday morning. So I really appreciate that you're here.
Speaker 28: Yeah, absolutely pleasure.
Speaker 12: And of course our friend Nathan Hill, he's in the
chat room. He was, he drove a long way too
to get here. He was on the show recently, and
uh so I think he's the one who actually connected
us with you guys, who connected Jenny. Yes, but we've
been aware of you for a long time. I certainly
have in fact, j Bellow from Chasing the Devil he
had said something about you guys in the chat room
I think a couple weeks ago, and he might be listening,
HJ And yeah, he said, because I think they did
they play a show with you. Yeah, we resent with them.
Speaker 28: That was the last summer show.
Speaker 12: Yeah, no, Chasing the Devil's last July. Yeah, oh very cool. Great,
dudes love Chasing the Devil.
Speaker 5: Would love to get, you know, hooked up with them
again because they put on a hell of a show.
Speaker 12: So oh absolutely absolutely, Yeah, They're incredible. And I've known
Jay forever, uh since back in his purge d I days. Yeah,
long time, long time. But yeah, so I've been and uh,
forgive me, my allergies have been out of control. And
then I hope the rain washes away to the pollend,
but it doesn't seem to work that way. So if
I a couple of times, that's why I'm sorry. I'm
not sick. I'm just uh, it's a it's a rough spring.
But uh but yeah, so I've been aware of you
guys for a while. I've seen you live. I can't
remember where it was. It might have been a few
years ago.
Speaker 28: Oh yeah, if you played a few years ago, we
played We've played a couple of places in Manchester. We've
played at Jewel right up the street, that's where it was, Okay, yeah,
I remember.
Speaker 5: Jewel, And then last time we were down here we
played at the Goat. We played with the Blackstone Cherry.
It was a little mini run we did for we
had our CD release, and then we played two shows
back to back with Blackstone Cherry once in the Goat
down here, and then we went to Wally's in.
Speaker 12: Hampton Beach to you know, oh, very cool, finish that out.
So yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember seeing you guys a Jewel.
That's that's the show I was at, and yeah, we
were just very impressed. But you've been around for a while,
like right, Parl's been around for at least five or
six years.
Speaker 28: Right, Yeah, we started in about I think June of
twenty eighteen, so it's been next month will be seven
years for trial, So.
Speaker 12: Okay, yeah, same lineup or has that changed over the years.
Speaker 28: It just changed a little. Sean and I have been
in the entire time, and we've known Adam and Justin
for for a very long time and they've been friends
and fellow musicians, and Adam and I were in a
band together for a long time. But Justin on guitar
came in almost five years ago, and then and then
Adam came in three years ago. So we've been the
same lineup for three years and I really feel like we've,
in my opinion, kind of hit our stride with the
line I feel like this is the lineup. Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah. In terms of your live shows, does any of
the early material survives that carried forth?
Speaker 9: Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: We play a lot of you know, everything that we've written.
We pretty much play okay, kind of in a rotation
depending on you know, where we are, who we're playing with.
We try to cater to the set, you know, who's there.
You know, if it's heavier, we might tend to push
ourselves a little bit in the heavier direction. But we
play pretty much everything. I think there's two songs that
we just kind of retired based on we wrote them
and we like them, and then it's like, yeah, kind
of outgrew it. It's just not it doesn't hit the
way it hit when we wrote it.
Speaker 12: Yeah. I'm always curious because I've been in bands where
sometimes if there's a change in members, you know, there's
sometimes there might be somebody in the band who's like, ah,
that's from before, we shouldn't do that, which which I
would always fight against because I was always like I
was in a band called My Life Crisis, which went
through a lot of different permutations through through the years,
and I was always like, well, I know these songs
are from a from an old lineup, but still, you
know these are songs that we made. I mean, we
made this music. It's our music.
Speaker 18: A good song is a good song exactly worth it
didn't play it exactly, and it's heartbreaking to have to
retire something just because you know, like if you've got
one guy in the band who's like, a, I don't
want to play that anymore because you know that's tied
to a previous lineup, and it's like, oh come on man.
Speaker 12: I've done that a few times.
Speaker 18: And it's like if the guy who left actually wrote
the song like that was his baby, yeah kind of
understand it.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I yeah, I can kind of understand. Although that
ended up in the band I was talking about that
I was in that that did become a big point
of contention. It all worked out in the end, but yeah.
Speaker 28: Yeah, and we kind of like let the the people
tell us what they want to hear too, because a
lot of times we'll reach out and say, hey, what
do you want to what do you want to see
this weekend? And and some of our older songs people
want want to see live. So we're you know, we
actually close with car chard on and it's like it
was one of the first songs we ever wrote, and
it's literally been our closer for.
Speaker 12: Like our entirety of the band.
Speaker 5: Yeah really, yeah, yeah, it was the first song we
recorded and put out, and honestly, like when we got
it going, it was just a hey, we got to
have something to show what we're doing, like we are
playing shows. But car Chardon was the first one we recorded,
and Seth sold like a bunch of comic books to
help pay for it and stuff like that. Yeah, Like
it was funny because the conversation we had the songs
about a shark from the point of view of a shark. Yeah,
and Seth sould the Batman comic book that had a
shark on the cover, and we were about it was.
Speaker 28: Like Batman two fifty one there it is, Batman fights
a Shark. It's the one with Joker on the cover
with the with the actual playing card really and it's
an iconic cover and I ended up parting ways with
it to get the money to to go record that song. Yeah,
but I don't regret it. I don't regret it, and
I'll buy it back some days.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, exactly. You can always get it back later.
Speaker 5: First there we recorded, and it's been our closer ever since,
just because we feel like it's just a fun song. Yeah,
it always is a good time and people when we
first played it. I remember the faces. People were like, Okay,
they were getting into all the stuff we'd done and
this song came on and they weren't anticipating what would
happen towards the end of it, and they were like,
what just occurred was not in my purview of what
was going on this entire set. And so it's it's
been one of those fun surprises. If you've never seen
us and you come see this and you hear that song,
you're like, what was that?
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool. Is it being a band
from Portland?
Speaker 9: Is it? Uh?
Speaker 27: Is it?
Speaker 12: This might be a strange question. I don't know. Is
it hard to stand out there when you're first starting
to build a following because people say this about Boston, like,
if you're a Boston band, there's so many Boston bands,
it's hard to stand out, and like up here it's
a little easier. But but Portland, for as long as
I can remember, has always had a pretty incredible music
scene too. It seems like there's a lot of really
good bands in Portland. I mean, is that is it competitive?
Like what's the I haven't I used to do a
lot in Portland. I used to promote shows and stuff
when I was more into that part of the business.
But but but I've been kind of disengaged from Portland
as a city for a long time, so I don't
really know, like what the vibe is there now.
Speaker 28: Yeah, i'd say it is. It is tough to stand out.
I think it's just about kind of finding your other peers,
your other bands that like you fit well with, yeah,
and kind of trying to create critical mass with like
two or three bands that like everyone will come out
and see and the and the audience makes sense, which
has been a rotating cast over the years because a
lot of bands, you know, fall off and break up
and new bands are always popping up, so we're always
trying to find new bands to play with that that
are exciting to us, that we like their sound. But
Portland in general is is tough because you've got a
lot of tourism and you kind of got this whole
upper end rising up with all the you know, luxury
condos and whatnot, and so you've got you've got kind
of two Portland's. You know, you got the the sort
of the tourists and and sort of higher priced end,
and then you've got your your bars and clubs and
you know, sort of the local scene end. And and
there's a lot of clubs that don't cater to rock
and metal, and there's a there's a few that do,
and those are always a moving target. And uh, it's
it's been tough through the pandemic, like
