You know today it's it's because of the Internet, 304 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,279 it's very easy to figure out if somebody already has something. 305 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,240 But back then, yeah, you could. You could run into 306 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,960 all kinds.

It wasn't like this rival band. 691 00:38:18,159 --> 00:38:21,400 Yeah thing, yeah at the alunch gear or give you 692 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,519 tips or like I said, Matt. 693 00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 6: Was my guitar teacher. So yeah, it was a really 694 00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:28,239 good environment to grow up in. 695 00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I mean that's that's great because you know, 696 00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:34,039 if you had grown up somewhere if you know, if 697 00:38:34,039 --> 00:38:35,800 any of you guys had grown up somewhere else, who knows. 698 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,360 You know, if you if you grew up somewhere where 699 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,679 there was no musicians around, you might not be you 700 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,360 might not be doing music today, you know, who knows. 701 00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 8: So, like you said, it's hard to find drummers. Yeah, 702 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,719 you could just like walk to the cafeteria in high 703 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,360 school and go, hey, I needed a drummer. 704 00:38:49,599 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: Five guys would put your hand up. It's fantastic. Yeah 705 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,880 oh did you yeah, yeah, did you do both for 706 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,400 a while? They were good because you don't see you 707 00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,480 don't see a lot of that. You don't see a 708 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,599 lot of singing rummers. The Eagles. Yeah, yeah, there's there's 709 00:39:03,639 --> 00:39:06,079 a few, but yeah, I mean my theory is, you know, 710 00:39:06,199 --> 00:39:08,639 because drums is the most physical instrument because you're using 711 00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:10,119 all four of your limbs, so to do that. Did 712 00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:11,599 you find it challenging to do that? 713 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,280 Speaker 5: In saying it depended on the genre. 714 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 4: I mean, if it was you know, if it was 715 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,360 a very fast heavy that you know, your you're breathing 716 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,719 is different when you're playing drums. 717 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta kind of it's like a sport. 718 00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:23,639 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what I mean. 719 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,159 Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh, whereas you know, singing, it's it's more 720 00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:29,000 of a of a of a. 721 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 4: Posture thing, yeah, you know, to use the proper muscles 722 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,880 in your stomach and your throat. 723 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, so it could be it was challenging. I didn't 724 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,079 do it for a long time. 725 00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 4: I gravitated towards singing because you know, obviously you couldn't 726 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,800 find a lot of good singers. 727 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: Right right, especially in the rock scene. Yeah, yeah, no, 728 00:39:48,519 --> 00:39:51,960 I love your voice on these tracks, and absolutely we should. 729 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,320 We should play another one. It's getting late.

I see a lot of 848 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:15,400 bad ones. I'm very judgmental about about websites. And you 849 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,800 guys are already are it sounds like you're already talking 850 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,480 about another album. Is that correct? 851 00:47:19,639 --> 00:47:24,519 Speaker 8: We're already writing it. It's five in the Q now excellent, okay, 852 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,320 and it's going to be Afraid. But there's a couple 853 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:33,760 of songs that are maybe a little departure. There's one 854 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,719 that we love called what You Crave. Yeah, still has 855 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:42,519 that deep almost like who Cracked the a kind of 856 00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:43,920 sabbathy feel. 857 00:47:44,199 --> 00:47:48,559 Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's written around like a Hindu toty. 858 00:47:50,039 --> 00:47:54,280 Speaker 8: Okay, so it's written you wouldn't hear that, but it 859 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,519 was written with like Indian music skills. Okay, so has 860 00:47:58,599 --> 00:48:02,480 a weird, dissident, kind of deep sound to it. It's 861 00:48:03,199 --> 00:48:05,599 kind of cool. And then we have a song about 862 00:48:05,639 --> 00:48:10,559 white up called Bullets from the Board and that just 863 00:48:10,639 --> 00:48:14,039 has time signatures all over the place. Yeah, it's like 864 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,320 three four different time signatures in different parts of the song. 865 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,239 So it's that's been the biggest challenge. 866 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,760 Speaker 1: I would say, So, yeah, well that sounds it. Yeah, yeah, 867 00:48:26,559 --> 00:48:28,559 well we will uh we will close out with one 868 00:48:28,599 --> 00:48:31,239 more track, this within the Wine.
