1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,839
Speaker 1: I love that the track is called the Whites. The

2
00:00:02,839 --> 00:00:06,360
band is Skull And let's see who we have on

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,000
the line with us? Hello, welcome to the show. Hello, Hello, Hey,

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,039
hey guys. So who do we have? Who do we

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,679
have on the line?

6
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:17,199
Speaker 2: So this is and I'm the lead singer.

7
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:21,039
Speaker 1: My name is Jack, very good, very good. So we've

8
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:23,399
got Evan and Jack with us, guys. I love that track.

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,960
That is It's catchy. I love the energy of it.

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,559
It's one of those songs I always say, if it

11
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:30,280
doesn't get you move in check your pulse, you might

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,479
be dead because it's really really good. So I love you.

13
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:37,000
I love your sound. And by the way, I also

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,960
really like the first single too, which we're going to

15
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:41,880
play at the end of our conversation today all of

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,119
the people. That's that's another great song. But I was

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,200
reading about you, guys, and this is a relatively new project,

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,439
right if you guys only been around for like a year?

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,200
Is that correct?

20
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

21
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, the most part really.

22
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh wow, so this is yeah, So that's that's

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,960
pretty new. You're already having it looks like you're already

24
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,799
having a lot of success. Have you been getting uh,

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,239
have you been getting some airplay with these singles over

26
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,760
in the UK.

27
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 4: So we've recently just had something come through that we

28
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:14,280
got played on Radio X, which is obviously like a

29
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,599
big station around here, quite a few local ones as well.

30
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:19,959
If you play list editions like and obviously yourself are

31
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,680
playing it as well.

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely With with your music, I mean, do you try

33
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:28,040
to do you try to write things that are are

34
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,920
accessible or do you just kind of do what you

35
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:33,840
do and and hope it catches on because it just

36
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:37,159
seems like it seems like these songs are very sort

37
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,280
of radio accessible, shall we say, you know, they've got hooks,

38
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,280
they've got you know, they pull you in quick. I mean,

39
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:46,040
is that is that the kind of thing you try

40
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,239
to write or does that just sort of happen organically?

41
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 5: Well, I'll say we don't try and we don't sit

42
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,280
down to write Kate for radio. It's just kind of

43
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,159
what comes out in the moment. That's fonsaneous singing the

44
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,159
practice room when we're writing, yeah, obviously where we go

45
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,760
in to the studio work with producer, you know, it

46
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,759
gets a bit more like we'll take this bit.

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: Out and we'll make it a bit more radio friendly.

48
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:13,879
Speaker 5: That's when that happens in that stage of process rather

49
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,199
than when we're actually writing.

50
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, the listener as well for some aspects

51
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,039
like is that like we like to write a catch

52
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,039
up because we enjoy it. But at the same time,

53
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,039
it's that you know, if if if it gets catchy,

54
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,800
then that's what you want.

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: But you've got to write from the soul as well,

56
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,599
you know what I mean. You've got to be truly.

57
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: Honest in it, right of course, Yeah, that's that's where

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,000
it starts. Yeah. And then now, so you've got the

59
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,400
two singles, is there, what's kind of the long term plan?

60
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,240
Do you have more singles in the pipeline or do

61
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,840
you plan do you plan to release an EP or

62
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:43,840
an album?

63
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,759
Speaker 4: We've got more songs and sense at the moments, befair mate,

64
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,520
So it's like the planner is is we've got a

65
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,280
live session booked in that we're going to do, which

66
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,479
will obviously have multiple tracks on the songs that we've

67
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,800
not done like that we've not previously done hopefully released

68
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,159
of like independently in a slight way that it's not

69
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,159
a fully but we'll have like a session from there

70
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:04,240
and then we've got a lot of content you know, video.

71
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: Wise, to be able to put out everywhere.

72
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:09,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. We live in a time when

73
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:11,120
there's so many different ways to approach that in terms

74
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:14,280
of how you release music. I'm old enough to remember

75
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:16,840
when it was you know you you have a single

76
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,719
is the Ghost of Radio six eight weeks before the album,

77
00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:21,520
and then the album comes out, and then hopefully, if

78
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,560
it all goes well, you'll have more singles from the album.

79
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:26,080
But today there's so many different ways to do it,

80
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,599
which is fantastic. And I was looking too, it looks

81
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,240
like all of the People, which is the first single

82
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:36,599
that that did pretty well for you, that's or continues

83
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:40,400
to do well for you on on Spotify and then

84
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:42,759
I assume, I mean, I don't know what the numbers

85
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,360
are like so far for the whites, but I assume

86
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,360
it's already taken off.

87
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, as you have finished. Yeah, it's been a great response.

88
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,280
Getting played on sort of national radio is always a

89
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,960
great win. It's just about being able to extend out

90
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,120
to people who have maybe never heard of us before.

91
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:00,560
So obviously things like this is a big help because

92
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:03,199
you know, we're from like you can put across.

93
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,879
Speaker 1: The water, that's right. Yeah, absolutely. Now, have you guys

94
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:08,919
been in Have you guys both been been in bands

95
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:10,800
before this? I assume you have. It sounds like you've

96
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,759
both you know, got's my experience at this.

97
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well me and Evan actually bring our first ever

98
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,040
band together back for you kids. Yeah. Yeah, there's so

99
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,439
many poor renditions of Beatles tracks where so we started

100
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,240
from there and we've been doing it for years now.

101
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So having started together so young, there's probably

102
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,920
kind of almost an intuition right in terms of collaborating

103
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:41,920
in terms of making music. I would assume that it's

104
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:45,480
very that it's very easy at this point and otherwise, Yeah,

105
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,439
after all these years.

106
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,399
Speaker 4: Natural chemistry which like words, calm't truly explain.

107
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: It just happens within that moment, which what that's what

108
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,680
makes it so special.

109
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,199
Speaker 5: Same with our drummer Toom as well, that I've been

110
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:59,079
playing in bands with Thom since about thirteen fourteen, so

111
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,959
we've got that me and we were playing for that

112
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,879
long together. Well we know which we know works together,

113
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:06,319
you know what I mean. So it's just it all

114
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,759
falls into place really easily.

115
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's great. That's great. Now, what about the

116
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,600
other guys, because there's there's five of you in the band, correct,

117
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,600
it's a five piece yeah, pie. Now, now how did

118
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,279
the how did the rest of the band come together?

119
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,000
Because I assume the two of you were the nucleus

120
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,319
in the beginning, right and then and then you brought

121
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,360
in other people or how did the band? How did

122
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,399
the band become a band?

123
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 4: So the main trio originally was me empty and some

124
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:34,759
like we went to high school together kind of thing,

125
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,680
and then the likes of Darcy and Adams. So Darcy's

126
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:40,000
younger brother, Zaki is one of our best mates. He's

127
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,879
the same mate, so gast And ended up joining and

128
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:44,759
then Adam was in other bands as well, like we'll

129
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,319
they were both in other bands, and then we kind

130
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,720
of just like they collided together for a band called Riverstone,

131
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,279
and then after that I then joined the band.

132
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:54,879
Speaker 2: It's like a sort of new alias of skout kind

133
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,680
of thing. And then like the rebirth of the sort

134
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,720
of the band.

135
00:05:57,759 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: So these were going for a good couple of years

136
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,360
before as well with a separate band who were unreal

137
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,079
like you know what I mean.

138
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: It was over the past few years really, but.

139
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: It sounds like this project again because it hasn't been

140
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:12,800
around for too too long. So it sounds like it

141
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,800
came together pretty quickly, right once you had all the

142
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,600
Once you had all the pieces of the puzzle together,

143
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,000
it really gelled fast.

144
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we were all friends previously as well, So

145
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:22,519
I think when your friends were something like you know,

146
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:24,000
you can go out for a drink with them.

147
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: And you can go spend time with him. You kind

148
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,199
of know them then. So it makes life in the

149
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,439
practice room a lot easier at.

150
00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:31,079
Speaker 4: The same time harder when you know what I mean,

151
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,160
someone's had a worse day than other. But that's that's

152
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,439
the beauty of it, Like you know what I mean,

153
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:36,079
you have to have that sort of piece.

154
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: We all are.

155
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 5: We're all really cloks made and we are row brothers,

156
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:42,199
and I think that's same. I think if you could,

157
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:46,879
if you saw his live, it shows outside the band

158
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,759
as well. You know, it shows out We really jelled

159
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,839
to everyone we're playing live. Because you can spot bands

160
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,439
a mile away when they play. Ay, you can sell

161
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,759
to just a group of people who.

162
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: Meet up in a room every now and then go

163
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,600
play a gig.

164
00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:00,319
Speaker 5: You know, there's no there's no like brotherly chemistry to it.

165
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,360
Whereas we did, we have that you know what I mean.

166
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes such a huge difference. I just know

167
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,720
from my own experience playing in bands, when you actually

168
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,000
have a genuine friendship with the people you're in the

169
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,279
band with it, it makes all the difference in the world.

170
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,759
You know, you could have you could have great songs

171
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,879
and great everything, right, but if you're not, if you're

172
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,360
not friends, it's not gonna last, you know. So that's

173
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:27,079
that's really good. And then now I read something too

174
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,879
about you guys. Are are you guys doing this independently

175
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,399
or are you actually you're because I see something here

176
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:34,959
about Snowdonia Records. Are you signed to a label?

177
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: Oh?

178
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: So there's a long story on that behind that one

179
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:39,519
that was like a previous thing.

180
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,319
Speaker 2: We're not working with people of like Noisy Neighbors. We

181
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:43,439
believe in Roadhouse.

182
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so the Noisy Neighbors and we believe in a

183
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,439
few other partners have joined together to create this Roadhouse

184
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,240
and it's like they sort of have like sort of yeah,

185
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:56,279
a few bands on the roster, like and then you're

186
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:58,120
sort of all around the country. So it's like a

187
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,800
new it's a new leaf for us kind of thing,

188
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:02,600
a chance to be able to sort of take over

189
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,199
cities like Liverpool, which is like our closest one in

190
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,120
Manchester as well. Quite lucky to be Winsford because we

191
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,040
are like a sandwich between two of the greatest musical

192
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,839
cities this earth ever had, you know what I mean,

193
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:15,279
And we have like a beautiful combination of the pair

194
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,480
of them, and that's sort of predominantly where our sounds

195
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:19,319
come from, you know what I mean.

196
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: It's it's all very British based sort of.

197
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:26,199
Speaker 1: Now when you talk about the two cities. So for

198
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:30,480
for our American listeners, we're in Manchester, but we're in Manchester,

199
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:34,159
New Hampshire in the US of course. So when you

200
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,919
talk about the two cities, what two cities are you

201
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:39,919
speaking of specifically, if everyone's clear, Manchester and Liverpool.

202
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we've got like a Manchester over here, which

203
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,960
is a big northern city.

204
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: You obviously got bands like Oasis, the Stone Roses, and then.

205
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: Liverpool is obviously the birthplace with the Beatles and many

206
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:50,480
other great bands at the real.

207
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 2: People as UTAs you know what I mean.

208
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Lares, Yeah, yeah, of our biggest you know

209
00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:57,320
what I mean, it's like they are the coolest. There's

210
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,440
a cool scene that's always been going around here for

211
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,360
many years, and especially within our little town of Winsford,

212
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:04,440
Like we've had we've had a couple of venues where

213
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,320
we've had like bands coming through and that's what sort

214
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,639
of influenced those from being so young, is just being

215
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,639
introduced to the cool side of music and just the

216
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,559
realness of being like true to your craft, being honest

217
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,440
about what you say, being like full focused into the music,

218
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,879
and just like it's it's it's a feeling that not

219
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:23,320
many people can truly appreciate because you've never grown up

220
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:23,879
around it, you know.

221
00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: What I mean?

222
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: Right, right, So, geographically, you're in a great place in

223
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,320
terms of yeah.

224
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,919
Speaker 2: In the heart of the country, you know what I mean.

225
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's fantastic. Yeah, And I mean, is there

226
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:38,519
I don't know if this is a strange question, but

227
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,320
I'll ask it. Is there any kind of pressure that

228
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:43,000
comes with that in terms of where you are geographically?

229
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,799
Is there like a pressure to be really good because

230
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,200
you know, there is so much great those two cities,

231
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:54,240
Like you said this, you know, in terms of the

232
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,960
musical output from those those cities, I mean, is there

233
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,840
a pressure that comes with that being kind of sandwiched

234
00:09:59,879 --> 00:10:02,240
but between them. Like you, you have to be great

235
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:04,960
in order to in order for people to take you seriously.

236
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,919
You can't just be good. You've got to be really,

237
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,519
really good.

238
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:08,919
Speaker 3: I don't know.

239
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 5: I don't think we do you feel any pressures to

240
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,000
be honest, I mean, yeah, the bands that we've grown

241
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,720
up listening to for our Northwest of England, you know,

242
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:18,240
we are inspired by them, but there's a lot of

243
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,320
good young bands around at a minute. The all fit

244
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,720
Insight scenes and you know, scenes of Liverpool, scenes in Manchester.

245
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:26,399
Speaker 3: But we're not concerned anybody else but ourselves.

246
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 5: If we don't want to be, you know, put ourselves

247
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:31,279
into a box of sounds a certain way to fit

248
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,200
into a certain scene.

249
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,759
Speaker 3: We just want to do our thing and that's all

250
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:34,600
we're bothered about.

251
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:37,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that makes sense. I think that's a healthy

252
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:39,679
way to approach it, right, just you know, don't you know,

253
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:42,039
Rather than worrying about what everyone else is doing, worry

254
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:43,799
about what you're doing and doing it the best that

255
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,759
you can. And obviously you guys are off to a

256
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:48,720
fantastic start, so you're you've clearly got the right attitude

257
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,759
and the right approach. I'm curious about what you guys

258
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,120
have learned? You probably, I mean, you can tell the

259
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,799
story if you want to. I'd love to hear it,

260
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,200
but I don't know if you want to get into that.

261
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,000
But but you men, there's there's a bit of a

262
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:04,639
story with your previous label. But I'll ask the question

263
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,519
this way, just more broadly, what have you guys in

264
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,240
the short time that you guys have been together as

265
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:12,600
a band? What have you learned business wise, industry wise?

266
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,720
And and maybe even have there been some surprises along

267
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:17,759
the way, because it sounds like you've already been through

268
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:19,960
some things and now you're on a very positive path.

269
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,440
But it sounds like you you might have hit a

270
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,960
speed bump or two. I don't know if they call

271
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,320
them speed bumps in the UK, but oh, there's always.

272
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,159
Speaker 2: Speed bumps in the road. There's always pathways that you

273
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:30,879
can lead down.

274
00:11:30,919 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 4: And the yeah, promise and did like at the end

275
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:35,840
of the day, like when we did it, it did

276
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:37,679
the little we had things that worked well. It was

277
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:41,799
just a differences of like sort of models and understandings

278
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:43,519
and things, and like you have to stay true to

279
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,120
your word and stay true to what you believe in

280
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,440
when you do stuff like this, so if you're mixing

281
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,960
with people who don't quite have that same thing, and

282
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,080
then you witness people for like kind of who they

283
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,120
truly are at times, and.

284
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 5: I think I think a lot of our speed bumps

285
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,159
has come down to him lack of.

286
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: Knowledge of the industy.

287
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 5: M being back beyond in the ears in that regard,

288
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,879
not in regards to music, but in regard to the industry.

289
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,440
But we've got a good team working behind us now

290
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,360
and it's looking pretty good for the future.

291
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,799
Speaker 3: But I think next year is going to be a

292
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:12,559
good year for us.

293
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,159
Speaker 4: And there's a lot of people in the pipelines as

294
00:12:14,159 --> 00:12:16,919
well and on the underground of an underlayer, like people

295
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,679
within the industry and very respective people within the industry

296
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:20,320
who have.

297
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: Like obviously like close to us.

298
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,919
Speaker 4: You will also give us a help and add along

299
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:26,480
the way you I mean, you can advise you and

300
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:28,639
tell you how it truly is from an aspect where

301
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,039
we may not understand, but from a viewpoint of people

302
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:34,600
who are probably working class like us growing up and

303
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:36,840
then had to deal with this sort of big industry

304
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,360
where there's a lot of money and there's a lot

305
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,720
of pressure and a lot of power. But we don't

306
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,720
feel no pressure currently, like so it's one of them.

307
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:45,399
You just have to wing getting to see how you

308
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:45,840
get on dot.

309
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: No, that's great. I think you've got the right approach.

310
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,320
And and it's so important too to have a good

311
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,320
team around you and to have people that you can trust,

312
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,120
because yeah, you know, there's a lot of you know,

313
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,000
there's there's there's a lot of people in the industy

314
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,480
who maybe are not trustworthy. Of course it's the entertainment industry.

315
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:06,759
There's also some people who you know, maybe they mean well,

316
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,840
but they don't maybe quite quite have you know, as

317
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,240
you said, the knowledge, yeah, to be really helpful and

318
00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:18,639
to and to support you. And uh so it sounds like, yeah,

319
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:20,000
it sounds like you've got a great team and it

320
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:22,120
sounds like too, so there's it sounds like there's also

321
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:24,840
other bands that you I mean, do you play out

322
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:27,080
Are there certain bands that you guys share the stage

323
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,159
with a lot or what what is the live situation there?

324
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:31,919
Are you? Are you playing a lot of shows? Have

325
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,440
you been doing festivals this summer? Like, what's what's the

326
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,840
touring situation over there?

327
00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:38,279
Speaker 4: It's been sill early days, Like we've had a few

328
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,559
obviously at the least party for our second single, like

329
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,120
we did the Whites and that was a good night.

330
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:46,000
We had like qualms in our Matland support. And we

331
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,679
have a regular sort of Scottish band that we play

332
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,120
with called ocean Views. It's like we met them playing

333
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,039
a festival on like the Island but which is like

334
00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:55,919
a little Scottish island a few years ago.

335
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we do it. We do like a so

336
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:01,919
we like a venue up in where we're from.

337
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,399
Speaker 4: At Winston called the Delamey Dog, and then we do

338
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,639
like a thing called Stalloween, which is like a big

339
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,519
Halloween party.

340
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,039
Speaker 2: We do a big gig obviously, everyone dresses up and

341
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:10,360
like that.

342
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,879
Speaker 4: Like ocean Views are like a traditional character and an

343
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,399
integral part of that with us, you know what I mean.

344
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,159
Speaker 1: Oh, that's very cool, and that's so important to getting

345
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,320
to play festivals because uh, not only does it give

346
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,039
you an opportunity to be in front of an audience

347
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:26,159
who might not some of who might not be aware

348
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:29,240
of you, but also the networking opportunities and you know

349
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,240
involved in those types of situations are unparalleled. You know,

350
00:14:32,279 --> 00:14:34,679
you'll you'll never get a better chance than when you're

351
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,240
at a festival to really meet a lot of people,

352
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,679
meet other bands, meet other people in the industry. That's great.

353
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 5: Well, networking is just as a supporting this music in

354
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:49,000
talking to people and getting people on board of what

355
00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:52,519
you're doing and you know, creating a buzz around yourself

356
00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:56,240
speaking to people at gigs and just generally being friendly

357
00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:59,039
and talking to people and checking out their bonds rather

358
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,720
than being like arrogant and thinking, yeah, we're rock and roll,

359
00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:05,720
may we don't need to speak to people and kill

360
00:15:05,799 --> 00:15:08,240
you know, it's that way.

361
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:09,799
Speaker 3: I think that works against you a lot of the

362
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:10,639
time these days.

363
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:12,679
Speaker 5: So it's good to you know, show your face and

364
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,759
speak to people, like saying networking and.

365
00:15:14,879 --> 00:15:15,919
Speaker 3: Just be real, you know what I mean.

366
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,679
Speaker 2: Like it's that we do it because we love it,

367
00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:18,159
you know what I mean.

368
00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:19,879
Speaker 4: You see, you can say you can you can sell

369
00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:21,480
a black artist from a mile away, you can tell

370
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,320
a fake, you know what I mean. It's like, if

371
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,679
you do it, you do it because you love it

372
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,000
and you want to be able to do it and

373
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,120
you want to have that passion.

374
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:29,559
Speaker 2: And then when you meet like minded people like that,

375
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:32,440
then that natural connection and chemistry just works, you know

376
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:32,840
what I mean.

377
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 3: That's what it's about.

378
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 5: Those natural connection. That's what music is. It speaks for

379
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:38,799
the soul, doesn't it. You know, it's a universal language.

380
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:43,159
Speaker 3: Music is when you find up, then you know it's good,

381
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,159
isn't it? Yeah?

382
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:44,399
Speaker 2: One?

383
00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:47,279
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Hey. By the way, what's the correct way to

384
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,759
pronounce your name? Is it?

385
00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:49,879
Speaker 3: Is?

386
00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: It? Is it skall? I was saying skall? Is that correct? Or?

387
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,360
Am I awful little bit?

388
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: So?

389
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:56,799
Speaker 4: I think I think with the American accent, maybe skull,

390
00:15:56,879 --> 00:15:59,759
but we see scalped so it's like it's like, so

391
00:15:59,879 --> 00:16:03,039
they a lingo like, which is if you were a scaley.

392
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of.

393
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: What the counterpoint would be for that. But at the

394
00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:10,960
same time, it's Swedish for reason, cause and motive.

395
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:15,279
Speaker 3: That's what the music. That's why we do it music.

396
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,759
Speaker 1: Oh I like that. That's that's cool. Okay, So so technically, okay,

397
00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:22,240
so I am off a little bit. So scal is

398
00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:22,919
that closer?

399
00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

400
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, ill you know what I mean?

401
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,279
Speaker 4: But we can't we can't say that if we have

402
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,320
to drop the two lots, but we will put it.

403
00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:34,559
Speaker 1: Scal Yeah, scal Okay, Okay, good, I'm glad I asked.

404
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,759
I wasn't I wasn't one hundred percent sure. Do you

405
00:16:38,799 --> 00:16:41,320
ever see it? Do people ever get it wrong? Like

406
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,360
on on poster? Is there anything do they do they

407
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,320
leave out? Because uh, because of the way the A is.

408
00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:49,679
Do people ever mess that up?

409
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,879
Speaker 2: Okay, well we're not too fuss like you know what

410
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:55,600
I mean that like, it's yeah, it's one of them.

411
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,519
Speaker 4: If anything, the correct way to spell the way we

412
00:16:58,519 --> 00:17:00,600
say it would be without it. But when you do

413
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:02,080
some fans and you have them two dots at the top,

414
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:02,840
it looks pretty funky.

415
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you don't know us and they don't know

416
00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:06,440
how to save the name properly. After we've watched us live,

417
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:08,119
the definitely all are.

418
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:13,799
Speaker 1: Outstanding. Outstanding. Well, now, so what's next for you guys? So, uh,

419
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,160
you know you've got the two singles out, what's what's

420
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,799
the next thing that we should be looking for from you?

421
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: Thank you?

422
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,519
Speaker 5: We've got this live studio session thing that we're going

423
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:26,079
to be doing. Okay this year, hopefully get back in

424
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:26,920
the studio, get.

425
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 3: Another single in the pipeline.

426
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 5: But at the moment, it's preparing for next year. Hopefully

427
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,000
it's going to be a really good year for us.

428
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:37,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, outstanding. No, we look forward to uh, we

429
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:39,359
look forward to keeping track of everything that you do. Which,

430
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,599
by the way, my other question about that, where is

431
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,359
the best place for people to go online to keep

432
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,880
up with everything that you guys are doing.

433
00:17:47,519 --> 00:17:50,519
Speaker 2: Instagram's always good. We need to get to the modern

434
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:52,279
world and develop a TikTok, you know what I mean.

435
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 4: We've got an account too much any streaming services, but

436
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,960
the best one for now once we do this live

437
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,039
session was make sure to keep an eye out on SoundCloud. Okay,

438
00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:05,200
the sound it's the really true underground sort of music.

439
00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean.

440
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 4: I've seen the recently did something where they're like helping

441
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,400
some like certain artists to release records and singles and stuff.

442
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,119
So they're doing something that's helping out with the industry.

443
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,640
And yeah, there'll certainly be a few bits and bobs

444
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,200
on there, but the Instagram, TikTok and the SoundCloud, and

445
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,400
obviously you know what I mean, you can Spotify Spotify.

446
00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, outstanding, outstanding Well, Evan and Jack. I want to

447
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:29,160
thank both of you so much for joining us today.

448
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,839
And in a moment we're going to play this track

449
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,559
all of the People, which is the first single. Anything

450
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:35,559
we should know about this track this is another really

451
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:38,480
great song, and anything we should know about it or

452
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,440
what it's about or anything.

453
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 4: Well, we wrote both of these songs at the same time,

454
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,319
about sixty seventeen, and they were all just kind of

455
00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:48,240
about that age where you're sort of like so in

456
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:49,799
Swear about You Manchester, New.

457
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: Hampshire, Manchester, New I'm sure, yeah.

458
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:56,279
Speaker 2: So is is it's kind of it's legal over there?

459
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: What say that again?

460
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: Is the is like the album Mary Jane legalong with that?

461
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,519
Speaker 1: Oh oh well, oh well, well, okay, interesting interesting, uh

462
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,559
interesting question because so, uh no, in in the state

463
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:13,519
of New Hampshire. Now we're surrounded by places where it's legal,

464
00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:16,759
all the surrounding states and Canada, which borders us to

465
00:19:16,839 --> 00:19:19,599
our north, it is legal in New Hampshire. We have

466
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,640
d CREM decriminalization. So uh oh yeah, so we have that.

467
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,200
It's sort of like a like a light legalization in

468
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,559
a sense we're medical.

469
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:31,599
Speaker 2: It's very frowned upon.

470
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, for a period it was just a pound

471
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,200
of like writing song as well, when you were just

472
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,039
sort of like looking around at people who just sort

473
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:38,599
of maybe seem like didn't want you're there.

474
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,559
Speaker 2: You felt like you were.

475
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,559
Speaker 4: Sort of like trying to understand the grass of the

476
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:45,519
roughness of life and the underground thing that obviously can

477
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:46,759
be taboo to a lot of people.

478
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:47,319
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

479
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,519
Speaker 4: Sure, but right and like making sense of it before

480
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:51,519
we truly understood it.

481
00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:53,279
Speaker 1: If you get what I mean, I do, I do.

482
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,359
And by the way, uh, most, according Topoling, most Americans

483
00:19:57,519 --> 00:20:00,000
seem to think that it should be fully legal here. Uh,

484
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,759
we just happen to live in a state that's a

485
00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,119
little behind on that, one of.

486
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,279
Speaker 2: The few that's a little behind on it because the

487
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:07,880
majority of the country is already there.

488
00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:10,039
Speaker 1: That's true, a majority of the country is already there.

489
00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:13,559
Speaker 4: So but uh yeah, those people it doesn't make you

490
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,400
like alcohols rouse you up?

491
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah alcohol alcohol is state makes so much money

492
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:27,119
off of alcohol. Oh yeah, that they love. It's totally twisted.

493
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,519
Oh yeah, we have state liquor stores on the whole deal.

494
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,599
So yeah, yeah, it's it's it's uh, there's a lot

495
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:34,960
of there's a lot of things over here that were

496
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,079
