Speaker 8: In the studio.
Speaker 20: Thanks for listening out there.
Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely. Where does the name come from? Regals?
Speaker 20: Yeah, interesting question, I guess so like it kind of
I was like trying to create a character, I guess,
like a while ago.
Speaker 8: Yeah, for like this.
Speaker 21: Project, you know, and it kind of you know, it's
based off of my name in a way. Like my
name is Ryan Rocky Egan. My middle name is rock
By the way, It's not some corny like Instagram handle
thing or anything.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I know, it's come It's a family thing. It's
a great ancestor of ours was a priest and he
had cancer and had a.
Speaker 20: Maggot treatment.
Speaker 21: Uh really yeah, like way way back in the day,
like and uh bid out the cant they bid out
the cancer and he lived for a long life after
that and then considered it a miracle. Wow, and that
became anamesake for my family. My dad has that middle name,
and uh my brother also, so yeah, so I'm my
middle name is rock and Ryan Egan Regal R E
g A.
Speaker 20: It's close, but basically.
Speaker 21: Like you know, like I was like gonna try to
do like a character named like Rocky Regal, like when
I grew up. When I was growing up, everyone called
me Rocky and uh, but then one day I was like,
I want to be normal.
Speaker 20: I want to be Ryan.
Speaker 21: I don't know why I wanted to be normal, because
I'm not normal person. So yeah, that's basically, and you know,
and then Regals, it's kind of like an irony thing,
you know, like we call ourselves regals, but we're you know,
we're paycheck to paycheck types of guys, class work in warehouses,
truck drivers.
Speaker 20: I'm recently trust funded. But you know that's another story.
Speaker 19: Okay, all right, Lucas, I'm gonna ask you, can you
pick up that other that other mic there that I
put on that table. And I'm gonna because I want
to talk to you guys a little bit, but I
want to have used that one, because that one's just
too far away. I can't make it work. But that
one there we go. Hello, I want to make sure
we can hear you. Got your voice is familiar, but
happy to be here, happy, happy to be here. Yes,
it's a little inside. But if you know, you know,
not that I told anybody, not that I told anybody,
but uh no, you guys sound amazing. Lucas, can you
tell us what you're playing for listeners who might be like,
oh what what?
Speaker 23: What is that?
Speaker 8: That doesn't sound like a normal guitar.
Speaker 23: Nope, it's a little bit of a different kind of guitar.
I've got sixty four Fender eight hundred pedal steel guitar.
It's my favorite instrument that I've ever purchased. Yeah, I
bought it about a year ago off a new friend
I made on Craigslist. Okay, our friend Jason actually recorded
all of our tracks that were playing. Most of the
tracks were playing today, most of the songs Project sound
down in Clinton, Mass is my friend that I purchased this. Yeah,
I lose diner out. So it's a ten string, six
pedal guitar. It stands like a table and uh you
play it. Country Western styles.
Speaker 20: Yeah, people call it table guitar.
Speaker 23: Yeah, table top guitar.
Speaker 8: Really, I think, okay, i'll call it.
Speaker 23: That now we call it that makes But I've played guitar,
normal six string guitar for a long time and tried
to emulate a lot of the country Western stuff that
I like. Yeah, And after simulating it for many, many years,
I finally found a guitar that I could afford. Because
boy are these things expensive and hard to find in
New England. Yeah, they're tough to find in New England.
There's plenty of country music around here, as far as
ones that are ar to me. This is the first
one I found. Yeah, I've got friends down in Virginia
and down in North Carolina, and pedal steels are all
over the place.
Speaker 8: I can imagine.
Speaker 23: Yeah, but up here they're very expensive. Our friend Trent
from Slim Volume, which is selling one. You missed your chance,
it's already sorry.
Speaker 22: Sorry.
Speaker 8: So what's it like going from playing just a regular
six string guitar to playing that?
Speaker 19: I mean, is it a big It must have been.
Obviously it's an adjustment, it's different. But like, how hard
was it to learn to play that?
Speaker 23: I did tons of research beforehand. Yeah, YouTube is a
good friend. Plenty of research. The Steel players forum dot
com is the place for steel nerds, yeah, to go
to go chat it's it's an old forum site that's
still very much active, and you can go directly to
the manufacturer a lot of the times and they can
answer any sort of technical questions. But as far as
playing it, yeah, it had a little bit of a
learning curve. Like I said, I was trying to emulate
this sort of sound, so I found a guitar that
bends singular string when you play it, an old b
bender telecaster really pull the arm inside guitar, and I
was trying to emulate this sort of style. But getting
on there, sitting in front of it is very different
than just researching. So it's played almost in an open tuning,
kind of like a blues slide guitar. They have ten strings,
so you have intervals between the normal strings, where if
you play it open it just doesn't sound great. So
you have to find different groupings, and there's different strings
that work together, so you do groups of three most
of the time, and then you have your pedals down below,
so a grouping of two, the two different strings are
controlled by two different petals, so each one can raise
it full step or half step.
Speaker 20: There's half step.
Speaker 23: But finding the different groupings and then learning to use
your whole body is very different.
Speaker 8: I was just thinking about that when he said that.
It's almost like playing the drums, where you're using.
Speaker 23: Very similar at the pus style. Yeah, limb, but this
is an old school pedal steel that doesn't have any
knee levers.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I have.
Speaker 23: I have one pedal here that can drop strings, but
on a more contemporary style they have knee levers that
can drop your string. Yeah, this one, I'm still learning.
I've had it about a year and it's really fun. Yeah,
it's really fun. Been very thankful playing shows with Ryan,
some of his solo gigs, I've been able to sit
in with a few other people. Yeah, so playing with
other folks is a whole different experience too. I'm I'm
getting used to playing with Ryan, we've been we've been
buddies a long time. Yeah, but playing this thing with
other pe people, uh, fake it till you make it right. Yeah.
Speaker 8: They sound great.
Speaker 19: Thank you, And like I said, you know, we when
Jenny and I were at the Shaft Scheme that night
to see her son Jesse play.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, you guys were playing and sounded incredible. I
was like, jeez, we gotta get him on the show.
Speaker 19: You had been played on the show before when we
had Mosaic Art Collective here and you guys had that
show coming up at UH at Mosaic. But but yeah,
it's it's great to have you in. Do you guys
want to play another song? Sure, I'm dying here more
and Lucas yeah you can. You can just put that
on the on the chair if you don't mind.
Speaker 8: Sorry about that.
Speaker 19: We do a lot of improvising here. But no, you
guys sound great in the headphone, so that's for sure.
If you are just joining us uh regals here with
us a live in studio you said you still call
it regals when it's just the two of you or yeah,
okay playing?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, all right as well?
Speaker 20: Yeah, Lucas and Ryan here here you go rocking.
Speaker 24: Luke, you cut me home each and every time. I
guess I won't in too much now catch me drowning
every nine. I thought what we had was good, you
even said it yourself, and we should. But now I'm
past sins or floating locked in bodies from the depths
of this river bed m and now you're gone, and
that's fine. I hope the way you choose away your
time now it's worth it.
Speaker 27: Dead Name.
Speaker 4: All the God love now.
Speaker 22: Is one picture.
Speaker 24: It helps me remember what you look like, because I'm
forgetting most things these days. I'm blacking our crossing down
Inch roadway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they have. Derry heard me seeing.
Speaker 24: I swear you fell in love. He said I was
gonna be fami. I said, I don't really care about
that stuff.
Speaker 3: For laeve me when I say, I really hate the
way you're talking about me.
Speaker 2: Why dore you do this? Study? Dead name, dore you
to this.
Speaker 5: Stay the name.
Speaker 4: Dory to these studs.
Speaker 2: Dead name a Dori to this day. Don yah yah
he Dori to this day. Don came. Oh my Dori
to this day.
Speaker 8: H mm hmm. So good.
Speaker 19: Ryan and Lucas are here from read and these guys
sound amazing. If you are just tuning in, what can
you can you tell us more about the new the
new album coming out, Lucas, feel free to to to
grab that mic of course.
Speaker 21: So the new album it's called a Love Sick Purgatory.
It's kind of a just a collection of songs that
are just about mostly heartbreak and.
Speaker 20: Just love and junk like that. I just kind of
find it easier to write songs about stuff like that.
And yeah, you know, there's like a lot heavier things, but.
Speaker 21: Those are you know, way harder to write songs about.
But you know, a love song, it's theme. Yeah, so
you know, yeah, you know, I'm okay, guys, all right,
it's all water under the bridge. But yeah, it's just
a bunch of songs that, you know, definitely for people
that are you know, feel in a certain type of way.
Speaker 8: Sure, sure, but uh, and that's that's coming out soon.
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's gonna be out around February, like late February.
Speaker 8: Excellent, excellent.
Speaker 21: Yeah, we're gonna do a little run of shows at
the end of the month into March and uh, you know,
like we're just kind of finishing up some loose ends
and we'll be announcing.
Speaker 8: The tour very soon and excellent.
Speaker 21: Gonna have a lot of fun and you know, just
play some shows and do the thing, yeah and thing
for a little bit.
Speaker 19: You know, it must be nice for you to have
a configuration where you can you can approach it different,
like if you know, if you're doing something like just
the two of you like this, or like you did
at the Shaft skiing, or if it's the full band
or you know, to have that flexibility like I used
to play in it. I played in a bunch of bands,
but I never played in anything where you know, you're
really well I mean, I guess I did. Technically I
played in a band where we could do an acoustic set,
but nothing nothing like this where you know, you can
sort of mix it up a little bit and it
gives maybe maybe the songs have a different texture to
depends I mean on what configuration of the band is
playing them.
Speaker 8: And that must be kind of fun.
Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, it's it's nice for the people that
I really want to focus on, you know, my voice
and kind of like you know, with the band it
gets a little noisier, but it's you know, I mean,
our rhythm sections real tight. But yeah, you know, we
keep we keep a real tight I feel, but uh
you know, still, you know, it's nice to bring it
down a couple of notches and.
Speaker 20: Just you know, just feel the raw motion of the songs.
Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, sometimes but yeah, you know, I love
just playing with Lucas it's nice and fun.
Speaker 20: Yeah, we have a good time.
Speaker 23: You have a good time.
Speaker 21: Yeah, hit the road, play a couple of shows and
little towns. We just played at Pembroke City Limit Limits.
Speaker 8: Excellent.
Speaker 20: Yeah, cool guy.
Speaker 19: Yeah right, you guys have been on Rob show, right,
Grand State of Minds. Yeah, a little plug for that
Friday nights at six pm here on w m n H. Yeah,
that's great what he's doing at Pembroke City Limits.
Speaker 8: It's such a cool spot, absolutely spot.
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Absolutely enjoyed a lot of great talent from the area
that plays there.
Speaker 20: And then super attentive crowd. Yeah yeah, which was which
is really nice.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 23: When our friend Trent shout outs to Trent again, Trent,
I heard his interview with Rob and he was describing
Pembroke City Limits as a listening room.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 23: I thought that was really cool. I thought that was
really neat because it's not exactly a noisy bar, right,
like a dive bar whatever. People are there to appreciate
the music, right, So that was really neat. We went
there without without sewing our drummer, so we had a
very modified set. Yeah, and we missed him big time,
but it sounded really cool.
Speaker 20: Yeah, good spot.
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's yeah because a lot of bars,
you know, it's like people are there to drink and
the music becomes sort of secondary. But so, yeah, it
is more of a listening room. You're right, that's that's
really cool. We need more places like that. There aren't
any places like that around. And then when you so
when you go on tour, where do you know yet
where you're going?
Speaker 8: Like, are you going? Are you getting out of New England?
Speaker 21: And we're playing while we're playing some shows in New England,
we're going down Richmond, Ashville, Nashville excellent. Yeah, I'm gonna
meet up with some friends down there and play some
shows as well. And yeah, so I'm real stoked to
kind of see what people think of our sound in
that area because I feel like we're.
Speaker 20: Like a.
Speaker 21: Alt rock country hybrid type of group. So it's uh,
you know, yeah, hopefully people like what we got to offer,
you know.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 19: And in terms of radio format too, I feel like
you kind of fit into that Americana genre on radio,
like I could imagine.
Speaker 8: I don't know if you've been played on the River
in Boston at all.
Speaker 20: No, I don't think we've been on the radio.
Speaker 8: But I can imagine you guys would fit into that
playlist really well.
Speaker 20: Yeah we have.
Speaker 23: We have been featured on uh country one oh two
point five.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's true, excellent every where.
Speaker 21: The local catch coming back in September from Carolyn Cruz.
Speaker 20: That was cool.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, oh that's very cool. Yeah, congratulations. Yeah, well

Speaker 20: You've got to.
Speaker 19: You've got such a raw delivery, and I mean but
I mean that in the best possible way, Like it's
just awesome.
Speaker 8: It's you really emote when you sing, Like.
Speaker 19: Is is there anyone who really influenced you when you
were learning to sing as far as as far as
your style?
Speaker 21: Yeah, well, I mean growing up, my parents were really
into Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, like really like emotional animated,
you know, sixties seventies rock and roll. But yeah, you know,
exploring music like early on, like I found some bands
like Lucero and just kind of like you know, mostly
Lucero and Ben Nichols is a huge influence on me. Yeah,
and uh yeah, I just I've been trying to find
that voice for a long time, kind of like I've
always been really into this kind of like alt country
like but kind of like gravelly like nasty, but like
it can still be kind of pretty kind.
Speaker 20: Of sound that.
Speaker 21: Yeah, Now, it took me a while to find this voice.
I've bounced along on different lines of genres. I used
to be in hardcore punk bands, experimental indie like pixies
like rock bands, and yeah, so I mean I got
away from music for a little while, and over COVID,
I really like went back to like what got me
into music, Like Credence is a huge one too, Like
I've always loved John Fogerty's voice, and I just wanted
to find that voice like through my own filter, you know.
And during COVID, I had like time to really like
just sit down, and you know, I played a bunch
of Creeden songs, Kinks, Rolling Stones, Fleetwood.
Speaker 27: Mac and.
Speaker 21: Then from there I just kind of started writing songs again.
Speaker 20: Yeah, and that's kind of how it happened. And then
now we're here, I got Lucas with me.
Speaker 21: I always had Merkle, my counterpart who I've been playing
in bands with since like you know, like late early
twenties or early late teens. Yeah, and yeah, no, it's
been a really fun little ride kind of like getting
back into like feeling what it's like to be in
a band again.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, so excellent, it's been cool.
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, how about you, Lucas In terms of influence, like
like who influence influences you as far as you're playing.
Speaker 23: Well, I've been into country western music. In my late teens,
I got into more folk music.
Speaker 14: And some of the.
Speaker 23: Some of the stuff I was playing it was kind
of folk rock. Been in a few bands around Manchester
and it was a little more folky oriented. I was
playing banjo and accordion along with like a solo acoustic
a little more folk punk sort of stuff, fast and loud,
but acoustic. But I didn't really care for country music. Yeah,
I guess I wasn't very familiar. But I found a
bunch of cassette tapes back in high school and that
was I only had the cassette in the truck, and
that just sort of snowballed. I think once I started
playing with other bands and then really sunk my teeth
into country music is when I started trying to hone
it in. And there's so many steel players and you
can go down a huge list, but Lord helped me.
If I can remember all the names right, but George Jones,
Hank Williams Senior, h everything from Buck Owens. Yeah, I
like a lot of the classics. George and Hank are
up there on top for me. I'm really into bluegrass too,
so it's still playing banjo and things like that. So
we have we have lots of different stuff that I
think regals could explore. Tost in a little bit like that.
But our bass player Mike is pretty good at banjo,
so I think, yeah, surprising trying to Yeah, really good.
He's got the he's got these hands that are just
made for it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's really good.
Speaker 20: Really, I didn't know that about him.
Speaker 23: Yeah, he's really good.
Speaker 21: Also a fun fact is that, no shame at all.
Morgan Wallen is both Lucas and I is number one Spotify.
Speaker 23: Real, Yeah, surprised both of us.
Speaker 20: But a lot of passive listening. It's just I mean,
it's a great.
Speaker 4: It surprises me.
Speaker 8: Actually, yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 20: It's pretty good.
Speaker 23: As far as like contemporary country stuff, like mainstream country guys,
it's awesome.
Speaker 8: I will say this.
Speaker 19: So I'm not a big I'm not a big mainstream
country guy, but I have to say in terms of
audio production, Nashville has it down.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, you know what I mean, Like, nobody does
drums better.
Speaker 20: Songs into drugs is my opinion.
Speaker 22: Yeah they are.
Speaker 20: Yeah, they have an addictive quality to them.
Speaker 23: No, it's wild, It's really wild, and I love the
history of Nashville. Yeah, and the recent uptick in interest
in country music is really cool. Yeah, but it's some
of it's like stadium rock really big.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah.
Speaker 23: And the Morgan Wallen stuff is like that too, just
sonically it sounds so huge, and that's what really drew
me in, really really drew me in. My my Spotify
wrapped is Morgan Wallin. And then like the All Stars
of Bluegrass, it's like Bill Monroe and Stanley Brothers. Yeah,
pretty much it Yeah, drive By Truckers.
Speaker 20: Was all Yeah, I saw that. Yeah.
Speaker 21: I listened to a lot of this guy, Steven Wilson
Junior this year, who I'm actually seeing tomorrow in Brighton,
mass And he's really I'm not familiar with. And then
I also listening to a lot of Third Eye Blind
this year.
Speaker 20: Yeah that's good.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 20: Yeah, they were in the top five.
Speaker 19: Stephen Jenkins, I think is a great songwriter. I think
he's really underrated. I think he's a very very good songwriter.
Speaker 21: And I'm actually seeing them at the end of seven
or two ilind Yeah, I don't know even Foxwoods, Oh o.
Speaker 8: Kid, I didn't know they were touring. Yeah, I thought
they were all done for some reason. Maybe one last
one last yeah, less right.
Speaker 21: Yeah, if any friends are listening, let's go to Third
Eye Blind and have a fun little time.
