number two Numarrow dose of Matt Connerton on Lee. If
you are listening live on Saturday, today is Saturday, August sixteen.
We are broadcasting live from the studios of w m
n H ninety five point three FM in Glorious Manchester,
New Hampshire. Jenny is here as well, of course at
the news table present and we have with us in
studio three of the members of the band Superbug. And
that track that we just heard, Invasive Species is that's
that's such.
Speaker 1: A great song.
Speaker 9: Welcome guys, thank you, thank you great to be here.
Let's start with you sir in the corner. Why don't
you each tell us who you are what you.
Speaker 1: Do in the band.
Speaker 8: I'm Justin and I'm the vocalist.
Speaker 10: Hey Justin, I am REEB and I am a guitar player.
Speaker 1: Rebe pretty easy to remember.
Speaker 10: Yes, and you, sir, I'm Parker, I'm the drummer, okay,
and Noah.
Speaker 9: And the bass players. I'll tell you those bass players,
the bass players. What he abducted by aliens or something?
Speaker 6: Is he is?
Speaker 10: He gets subducted regularly. Yeah, he's the local man of
mystery for us. Yes, but we don't want to diminish
him by not being here because he's the sound.
Speaker 11: Oh.
Speaker 9: Absolutely absolutely, that's what opens that song. Is you hear
the first thing you hear is that baseline?
Speaker 1: I love it? I love it.
Speaker 9: No, you guys have a great have a great sound.
How do you even how do you describe what you do?
Because everyone always hates this question, but how do you
describe your.
Speaker 10: Own I got you okay that it is progressive punk
funk with like a sprinkle of metal and a little
hip hop too. Yeah, yeah, I say that's pretty close.
Speaker 1: I can hear all that. Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 9: We're gonna play some of the other tracks to later
in the uh, later in the segment, but no, it's
really good, gets you moving.
Speaker 1: How long have you guys been around?
Speaker 9: I know, I know it's been a while because I
you definitely have a following because I saw people online
were like, oh cool, Superbug. You know people people are
excited that you're coming on the show today. So I mean,
you guys been been at this while or.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, four or five years? Okay, okay, I've been
with them for four years right about now? Actually, oh okay.
So they were a thing prior to me coming in
matter of fact, I was in a different band. I
watched them play and I was so jealous because I
thought they were so cool. But I did think that
maybe a new guitar player would suit them better. Right,
So when the opportunity came up, I had to jump
on it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's that's always cool when you know, you see
a band and you think, wow, that's a band I'd.
Speaker 1: Like to be in, and then it happens.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was jealous. I like their energy, and I
was actually shock our.
Speaker 8: First guitar player he didn't. We wanted to push it
further and play out a lot, and he didn't. He
wasn't really into that, and he said, maybe you guys
should find another guitar player. So really, we know we
know a guy.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like it was amicable then, right, Yeah.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And it worked great because read was perfect.
Speaker 10: For I couldn't believe how well, because I've known these
guys well justin since, you know, grade school. Yeah, I didn't.
I he was singing. I heard it through the grapevine
in town. I'm like what, And I watched and I
was like, Wow, he's up there killing it.
Speaker 1: I really dig it. Oh that's cool.
Speaker 9: Yeah, because one of the hardest things, you know, from
my experience of being in the band is, you know,
you've always got people with varying levels of commitment and
and and even varying degrees of ambition, Right, so if
you have somebody who's you know, it sucks when you
have somebody in the band who's kind of holding you
back a little bit, not because they're not talented or
anything like that, but just because they're kind of looking
ato like, yeah, this is more. This is more of
a hobby to me and not so much of a passion,
you know, And it kind of sounds like that's what
you were dealing with.
Speaker 10: I think we've all been there, not in just the
previous iteration of Superbug, but also other bands we've been in.
Speaker 8: Sure sure, well, yeah he was in another band and
the bass player didn't really want.
Speaker 10: To play out so similar situation.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so we're like, well, we might as well join
forces here, you know, and not that though.
Speaker 10: We like to hang out like we're generally friends, like yeah,
even if we're not jamming, if there's an opportunity to
go see another band or go somewhere, we travel on
a pack. It's kind of like we form like Vultron.
Speaker 9: That's good. That's good. So obvious question. Where does his
name Superbug come from?
Speaker 12: Why?
Speaker 1: Superbug?
Speaker 10: This is actually funny, So in the bug bar and
where we rehearse In my house, I've got an old
Nixon poster from the seventies, a screen print of him
basically trying to bug the Democratic National Party and at
the bottom of the print says superbug.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 10: And we had our number one fan, Sean Kelly Money
shout out. He saw it on the on the poster.
He said, why not super Bug, because I think they
were Pine Tree Riot previously, which.
Speaker 1: You know, not horrible but uh interesting pine Tree Riot.
Speaker 10: So Superbug became you know, just by choice. We'd like
to have it as one word, but for the uh
iTunes and Spotify purposes, separating it into two words kind
of made it easier.
Speaker 9: To search okay, okay, Yeah, I wondered about that because
I even went back and edited the initial post. So
I think of the post I put about today's show,
I put it in two words and I changed one word.
But I think I then there's that that compromise thing
you can do where it's one word, but you've got
bug is capitalized, so it's.
Speaker 10: Doesn't really matter. Yeah, down's the same, you say.
Speaker 1: Right, right, that's true. Now, are you guys playing out
a lot? Yeah?
Speaker 10: I got a list here if your curiousness to win?
Absolutely absolutely, And I want to give a shout out
to the Superbug wives for letting us play out, because
you know, it's definitely a tricky compromise to make, and
we're spending all this time playing music and going out
and yeah, you know, it's a lot of Saturday nights
giving up. So shout out to the ladies out there
for supporting us.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 10: Yeah, But now we have one next weekend Molehill Theater
in Alsted with our frends, the Evocatives who are tremendous
auspicious brew on nine thirteen, up in Dover Button Factory
in Portsmouth on nine twenty seven with Mercury Burns First
also a Hillsborough.
Speaker 1: Oh, we had them on the show. Plus I've known
Jay forever.
Speaker 10: Yes, reallyand yeah, we're looking forward to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: We're playing October Fest at the Auburn Pitts Hanneker Brewing
Company on ten seventeen, and then Auspicious Underground in Nashua
in November. Okay, So you know, it's funny. I don't
know if there's any other bands going out dealing with
this sort of thing. We basically play our own stuff.
We don't really do any covers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So there's a point in the winter, probably from December
to April, where it seems like all hope is lost
and you're never going to play a show again. Yep,
and you're depressed. And then all of a sudden, you know,
May June hits and you just we've had to turn
stuff down.
Speaker 1: She's a great place to be in, you know, that's
a great problem to have.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So we're really thankful for anybody giving
us an opportunity to play anywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Are there other bands in the area that you guys
kind of you know what happens organically. Are there other
bands that you've kind of teamed up with where you
just yeah, play a lot of shows.
Speaker 10: The Evocatives out of Keene, they're fantastic. Check them out.
Big shout out to Andrew North and the Rangers.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've had them on amazing and they.
Speaker 10: Andrews the open Mic Night, the open Mic Night kind
of that they were doing an area twenty three and conquered.
We went in probably twenty twenty three early and we
were just Hillsborough. We never get out of Hillsboro. So
the fact that we went there we played people dug us.
It gave us confidence to say, hey, we could actually
go out and do this. Yeah, and Andrew's been a
big supporter of us. You know, we played their showcase
last November with them. He sat in with us a
few times. Great dudes. Loud Pipes Productions also another one.
Speaker 8: And lady who say, wasn't I said? And lady, Yes, lady,
there's a lady in the band too.
Speaker 2: He's a great dude.
Speaker 1: Got okay.
Speaker 10: I didn't know where he was going. Shout out to
Jay Rock And then you know the Hillsborough bands that
are great. Hobo Wizard is cool if you haven't checked
them out too, So.
Speaker 1: Somebody else do you remember that name. Somebody else mentioned
them too on the show.
Speaker 9: I forget who it was who mentioned them recently, Hobo Wizard,
I don't remember.
Speaker 1: Yeah that.
Speaker 10: And then Parker also plays with Stage and the Tumbleweeds,
who are great. And then I play in Dent out
of Hillsborough. So okay, yeah, Hillsborough drug Deal Gone Rad
is out of there. I mean, by the way, best
drug deal, drug Deal gun Rad. Check them out. Great name, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hillsborough's popping they it's it's actually got some pretty cool
live stuff. Mercury Burns First Heaven, Yeah, Shreded Heaven. Yep,
that's a cool name too.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's so much well we're talking off here about
this too. There's so much incredible talent around here, you know,
because sometimes like Jenny does a booking and sometimes somebody
will ask her, you know, where do you find her?
Or they'll ask me, where does Jenny find all all
these artists to come on the show, And I'm like, well,
I'm magic. Yes, there is that, but there's also there's
so much talent around here. So that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 13: Yes, I understand more now why it's hard for people
to make it, because there is so much balent out there. Yeah,
you know, I didn't realize it until we started doing this.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 10: It really seems this year like things they're starting to
pick up. I don't know, it's weird, like the paper
Jam thing that's coming out. Yeah, shout out to Shiela
and Tony.
Speaker 1: Great people. We love paper Jam. Yeah.
Speaker 10: So the fact that we get that and in this
you know, it's like things are starting to pop. So
it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: We should mention that too.
Speaker 10: So you're in the current issue September October issue sep.
Speaker 1: Number October, you're gonna be like, Okay, oh fantastic.
Speaker 10: Yeah, check the page out. They got great stuff and
they're great content, content and really nice people.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: They've been sending us the both the you know, because
of the two versions as the color version of the
black and white version, and they actually sent us both.
Last time they have our they have the Matt Connorton
on leash logo right in the front, which we love.
Speaker 1: We love.
Speaker 9: No, They're they're amazing and they're you know, it's it's
the thing that's impressive because we had them on the
show too and interviewed them and what's impressive about paper
jam is. You know, there's a perception that, you know,
any kind of print media is kind of dead and that,
you know, because everything's online and and but they've been
very successful, you know, taking that risk. I remember asking
them about this too. I said, this is quite a
gamble that you took, you know, even getting into this,
because I'm sure people, although I was surprised. I asked them,
I said, did anyone try to talk you out of it?
Speaker 1: And they said no. I said, Okay, that surprises me.
Speaker 9: But I'm glad because, you know, because here we are
and they're doing incredibly, incredibly well.
Speaker 10: It's a great service for the bands out there.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 10: They bought us pizza, they talked to us. You know,
you get to play some songs for him, They did
a photo shoot. I mean, it's super cool. You know,
for listen, we're not gonna make any money or become
real rock stars, but to get a little slice of it,
that's super cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 9: I'm also curious about where you record because I love
I love your sound, I love the production.
Speaker 1: It's all really good.
Speaker 10: We did that right here in the Mills, New Hampshire
Tunes shout out to Zaine McDonald.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so we did.
Speaker 10: Daniel McDaniel.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Uh, we.
Speaker 10: Did it that record. We did it in about seven
hours of recording. All the takes are basically first or
second take, mostly first.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no overdubs, I think essentially.
Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, I doubled the one guitar solo I think
on blame Game at the end, and then even the
vocal takes that we did afterwards. Uh, maybe one song
had two. Yeah, I no patience for perfection, probably detrimentally,
but you know, we like to keep it raw.
Speaker 1: I think it works for what you're doing. I think
it does.
Speaker 9: And it does sound live. It's it's got that, it's
got an energy to it that that comes through that way.
Speaker 10: If you watch a live version of the song you
just play, it's almost gonna sound identical. Really, it's it's
just their sound.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, well we should play let's play another track
from the These are all from the album, right, these are?
Speaker 10: Yeah, Hesitation Jelly out now on Spotify, iTunes, all that
fun stuff.
Speaker 9: Oh okay, I have to know before we go any further.
Hesitation Jelly, why what is that where you can tell
them this is this even something you can tell in
the air.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, nobody would ever guess where it came from.
I have four boys at home, and uh, one of
my sons walked into the the living room while I
was sitting there having a beer and he and he
did this little jig back and forth and he said
hesitation jelly and I was like what I And it was,
you know, he was acting like he was dribbling a
basketball and and uh, you know, hesitation is you know,
the move that you're doing while you're dribbling or whatever.
And I guess, jelly is you know, if you're good
at it, you're like jelly. I don't know, but I
and then I texted the band and I said, if
we ever have an album, we get to call it
hesitation jelly, you know, and and they were down with it.
And then actually I forgot all about it. And then
when we made the album, Reeb said, yeah, hesitation jelly
and I was like, oh, I forgot all about that.
Speaker 1: You know, that's great, but it's.
Speaker 8: It's something that nobody would ever I have any idea
where it came from.
Speaker 10: I have a different explanation. I like to tell people
that it's it's ky jelly with some sand in it.
You're gonna hesitate.
Speaker 1: That's right. Well, on that note, we'll get to the
what should we play next?
Speaker 10: I say, let's buy the just Go song? What do
you think?
Speaker 6: What is that?
Speaker 10: Feeling the need?
Speaker 1: Feeling the need? All right, let's see, Oh, here we go,
got this? Okay, here it is. This is feeling the need,
This is superbug, this is really good.
Speaker 2: Higging. I can't all down the dream. My bouts are heavy.
Dig get too deep, a kingdom down?
Speaker 15: Oh and a swirling pogo niggasi pos trying to get
just what I Guys can't don't come feeling not could enough?
Speaker 2: You see it enough, not good enough.
Speaker 3: Don't say they won't have to leave, think that they
the Well's no time to die.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 2: You gotta try.
Speaker 16: Never to wander where when they will come up in us?
You should believe in yourself.
Speaker 2: They don't the fact you swim?
Speaker 17: What's your father?
Speaker 2: The brains and eighty five? Mother? You don't what you going?
When it comes from the hall, it's like.
Speaker 18: The best way to start.
Speaker 3: So we get the crazy He gave up Jason the
tails to get you off with faith.
Speaker 2: It's time to stop. Come fuck with money. Might be
a good time.
Speaker 3: Because now it's kinda shine. Never to wander where when
it will come again. Might be a good time.
Speaker 19: Because now it's gonna shine. Never you wannaway, when they
will come up. You got just feeling in the back
a line like.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're a mess everyone doing sometime.
Speaker 20: All thos around you wanna be a mad Tell the
people who's around you wanna.
Speaker 2: Live in bed. So you gathered up your lungs and
you set your mouth. Look it, but your spends your
winds kind of south. You sup your hair rob to
your lungs. Now you open up your mouth. The first
feeling so good, the river home before when it's a problem.
Speaker 21: Creating line, create a lie, create the sky, created bla.
Speaker 2: Create, imply create.
Speaker 1: Oh I love that feeling the need.
Speaker 9: The band is Superbug and the album is Hesitation Jelly,
which is fun to say too if you are just
joining us. We have the guys from super Bug here
in studio with us, or most of the band anyway.
But uh, yeah, that's that's really cool. So we were
talking off air about that song. Actually pretty interesting.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So I had originally written that for another band
I was in, but uh, just they weren't feeling it,
so yeah, almost out of spite, I was like, I'm
gonna take this and I'm gonna make something of it. Yeah,
And so we played it, and if you listen to
the second verse you hear those high pitched vocals come in.
That was the actual song. Those were the actual vocals
that were on it. But I didn't want to do
it because in this band we have kind of our duties.
You know, Worm does all the words. Excuse me, Justin
does all the words. So I didn't want to dictate
what he was going to sing because you didn't like that.
So I let him do his own thing over it.
And after playing it for a while, I said, you
know what, I'm going to try doing the original words
in the second verse behind it, okay, And it just
gave it a little bit of a lift and sounded cool.
So we kept yeah. Yeah, and actually that's the song
Parker learned a disco beat for too, Okay, Okay, it's
we call it the disco song.
Speaker 9: Yes, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I was saying, too
off air to me. Of the four that you sent,
that's that's the most interesting in terms of how it's
arranged and and.
Speaker 1: You know, you've got the uh.
Speaker 9: I love that, you know, that first build up there
where it's like, oh, it's changing, but it all works,
It all flows so perfectly.
Speaker 10: I tried to write a song I wanted something the
A string. It's in A, but the low A is
through every or everything, so it's just variations on A
chords within that. So yeah, the A string is always
ringing out on it. And that was the challenge because
I think crazy train like the verse for you know,
ozsy and that chugging, but all those are kind of
iterations of A that work with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was what I was shooting for. Yeah, yeah,
and the uh you know, and the change with the drums.
Speaker 10: To oh yeah. Like I said, there was a white
strip beat just to give you that.
Speaker 1: Yeah simple yeah, yeah, No, that's that's really cool?
Speaker 19: Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that hard to pull off live at all? Or
work pretty well?
Speaker 10: Like you said, any of the stuff you hear on
the record, that's basically a live recording, and uh, these
are all things that are in our set currently.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Do you guys have do you guys have
anything that you that you play that you haven't recorded yet?
Speaker 10: Oh, we've got tons, We've got probably two more records
worth of stuff, no kidding. We've got thirty six originals.
I think, oh my god, they're always coming.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Just it's very creative group. But I've never it's never
flowed so easily. Yeah, for anything I've been in and
everybody contributes to. Uh, they sometimes the songs come a
little bit different. Adam, who I think really is the
soul of Superbug, his songs are the ones that jump
out to me as far as being unique. Yeah, I
think that he'll come in with a whole song done. Yeah,
but we all sprinkle our bits and I could come
in with the whole thing, or we're just jamming and
improving and something might strike a nerve.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: But then there's some songs. We've got a song time
that we worked on for like a year, yeah, I mean,
and it was like we kept adding, subtracting, you know,
perfecting it. So it kind of depends on the song.
But yeah, I think our most recent one Greek to Me,
which you know, comes to us lively. Hear it that
one Adam came with and it he came in with
it full and I think we had it down in
two takes, played right there. It was good yeah, and
then worm came up with words in no time. And
sometimes they just come quick like that.
Speaker 9: But I always say, you know, that's how you know
you've really got something right when it comes easy, you know,
when you don't have to you know, I mean, it
can be a lot of work and whatnot. But but
when you've when you've got something, if somebody has an
idea or just you know, it just seems to manifest
really quickly, then you know you've got something special. Right
and then, and it's nice to be in a band
right where it's where it's easy that.
Speaker 10: And we we also have like no limits as far
as what we want to try. All we really try
and do is not duplicate something we've already done. You know,
let's mix it up and have the chorus start first,
so let's not have a bridge here, or let's have it,
you know, a pre chorus or something. I don't want
to be repetitive like. And we also a key thing
is we want everybody to be able to be heard,
you know, we want a nice even mix, so everybody
stands out kind of.
Speaker 1: Yeah. How many tracks are on Hesitation Jelly ten? Ten?
Speaker 10: Okay, yep?
Speaker 1: And why why did you decide this.
Speaker 9: I'm always really curious about with everybody because you know,
you've got a lot of options in terms of do
you do singles, do you do an EP, do you
do full album? You know, when I was growing up,
it was like there was a standard formula, you know,
pre Internet. It was you know, you've got an album,
You've got first single, goes to radio maybe six eight
weeks before the album. Then the album comes out, and
then maybe there's more singles if you're lucky, and that's it.
But today there's so many different ways to release music.
So we went into your decision to release a full album.
Speaker 10: I'm old school.
Speaker 8: I like albums. Yeah, yeah, I still listen to a
full album.
Speaker 10: To me, that's what the artist wants you to hear.
He put the tracks in a certain order, you know
what I mean. These are the songs that they I'm sorry,
I mean to say that they're presenting.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm a stickler for that. Yeah yeah, because even
like some of my vinyl records, you know, they get
that one song you want to skip over, Sure, still
you got to listen to it because it's.
Speaker 1: There right right.
Speaker 10: So yeah, CD has kind of ruined the album format
a bit because you could have the capability to skip
over it. Yeah, but yeah, I guess just old school.
We like vinyl and we like, you know, a presentation
of a record versus just a single. Yeah, and impatience too,
like I hate it when it's here, you're going to
get a single, right, and then a month later another single,
month later another single, and then a month after that
the record. Yeah, I just want the record right right?
Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, I get that, have you, guys? I put out
CDs is available on CD.
Speaker 10: Or only vinyl only?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 10: Yeahs to me or pas?
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting for real? So so this is on
vinyl but not on CD.
Speaker 10: Okay, you can get a vinyl come to our shows.
We got you.
Speaker 1: That's cool, that's cool. Nothing sounds better than vinyl. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Actually yeah, we were talking before the segment about there
is a record player here. Actually I've never used it,
but it does work. I one of the hosts uses it,
I think, but it plugs in and everything. But yeah,
and we do have actually we have a CD player
too here, but I think the only one who uses it,
you guys.
Speaker 1: No Rob Rob as a veto from Granted State of Mind.
Speaker 10: Yeah he uh he drew It did a write up
on us and we did an open mic night at
the Bankingwhampshire. Oh nice, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh cool. Yeah. Yeah, he uses the CD player here,
but I think he's the only one who uses that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he has a nice venue up there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Pembroke City limits.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we'd love to play it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, you guys would be great there. Absolutely
So no no plans to uh put out a CD here.
Speaker 10: No, okay, okay, I mean, who has the CD player.
I've got three and thirty CDs up in my attic,
some of them I can't find on iTunes or whatever,
but I got no way to listen to them. I
don't have a CD player, right what.
Speaker 8: My eighteen year old son has found CDs for some reason.
He's been grabbing all my old ones. And yeah, I
don't know where that came from. But I don't listen
to CDs.
Speaker 9: But yeah, we we get a lot of a lot
of our guests will bring us a CD and it's like,
and you know, I put it on display in the
office slash podcast studio at home, but it becomes a
part of the you know, it becomes a part of
the studio becomes a part of the vibe because I
have nothing to.
Speaker 1: Play it on, not at all. I don't you.
Speaker 9: If I want to play a CD, I gotta come here. Yeah,
I don't think this. Uh, this old laptop I have
doesn't even have one on it anymore. You don't have
you don't have anything to play CDs on, right, Jenny,
You don't have anything to play CDs.
Speaker 1: On, not in a long time.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 10: Well, it's sad for me because there's I have old
Imperial teen and shown in Knife CDs from the nineties. Yeah,
and you can't get those music for some reason on
iTunes or Spotify. You can't get them on vinyl. The
only way to listen to it on CD. Okay, Right,
I don't know if there's a hold up with the
label or what, but yeah, fix that stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's some there's some reason for it.
Speaker 8: One Minute Silence was the same way for a long
time as a band I really liked, and you couldn't
find it on Spotify for a.
Speaker 1: Long Oh really Yeah, yeah, this is a little bit
of a sidetrack. But did you guys see the we
talked about it on the show Lord She put out
a clear CD did you see that.
Speaker 10: Yes, I read about it.
Speaker 9: And there's a problem because unless you have like a
really really new CD player, you can't even play it,
Like it won't play unless you've got a very new
CD player because it can't it just.
Speaker 1: Can't read it. Like if you put it in your
in your car stereo CD player, it just it'll spit
it back out.
Speaker 10: I've actually bought cassettes, Like there's some bands that will
put cassettes out in the merged booth. Oh yeah, because
they're cheap, they're portable, they look cool. Yeah, so I've
bought a few. Oh yeah, I see them out.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: Our bass player was in a band from way way
back and back in just after high school maybe, and
I have his CD from then, oh yeah, and it
won't play in any of my CD p Yeah, it's
just too old. I think it is something. But it's
too bad because they lie.
Speaker 10: When they said they wouldn't degrade.
Speaker 9: Well I remember though too, because uh yeah, back in
the day when somebody would give me, you know, a
burned CD and and having to use like like having
to try it on a couple of different CD players
because some would play them and some wouldn't.
Speaker 1: The thing that I I talk about too, because I've
been doing I've been interviewing.
Speaker 9: Bands a long time, and back before it was just
a matter of you know, using Dropbox or Google Drive
or something to send me the files. Sometimes guests would
show up with with a CD and they would do
the thing where it wouldn't even be in a case.
They would do the old uh if I had a
CD here I demonstrate, but they do the whole thing
where they hand it to you on a finger.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like they put the CD on their finger.
Here you go.
Speaker 9: It's like, oh great, it's really professional. But now that's
that's really cool though, that it's out on vinyl.
Speaker 10: It's let me tell you, it's a trip here in
yourself on a record.
Speaker 1: That must be.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's especially. That's the weird thing too, is you
know I never had aspirations, none of us did about
being rock stars. But yeah, there's bucket lists and being
in bands right now. Yes, I always wanted to be
in my head, I still am, but I always wanted
to be on a record, which we did that. And
you know there's another station that's played Invasive Species a
whole bunch, so oh yeah, here you can say it
one of four point nine the Hawk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 10: Lakes Region, that's excellent. Yeah, so it's just these are
cool things. And then actually, if we play Boston, literally
I met all of the dreams I wanted for music. Ever, Yeah,
I'll be I'll be done. Yeah, it's solid's left and
uh it's almost happened twice.
Speaker 9: So yeah, yeah, very cool. We should play another track
from It's Fun to Say Hesitation Jelly the album. The
album only available on vinyl, which is very cool. What
should we play next? You guys can pick.
Speaker 10: It's either blame Game or Humanity. You guys, I don't
want to dictate you guys, pick do Humanity. Then we'll
blame game later.
Speaker 9: The Sound of Humanity, Yes, sure, and then we'll play
blame Game at the end. Sure, all right, very cool.
Uh so if you are just joining us, we have
Superbug here with us live in studio, and uh, we're
gonna hit this track next.
Speaker 1: This is called the Sound of Humanity.
Speaker 2: Is magic.
Speaker 10: Were plays games with the youthful sense of compassion.
Speaker 2: No one will ever get the trade back.
Speaker 16: Tapping into the genuine that boys calling from within, Chris

Speaker 2: To unch your humanity will love spirit and trust will.
Speaker 20: Never dicupate it in the mother's vishing all the Barry's

Speaker 14: Embrace life, Embrace life, Embrace life, Embrace life, Embrace life,

Speaker 2: Them Ray Slim Ray sl.
Speaker 1: I love it. That is called the sound of Humanity.
The band is Superbug, and we have super Bug here
with us yo live in studio.
Speaker 9: That's that's another. All right, so tell us about that
that track. Repeat everything you said while I was playing, no,
but tell us about that because.
Speaker 10: All right, So let's see, I think most of the
riffs in that came out of just an improv jam
with my other band when we'd warm up. We'd just
warm up and be so over time, I kind of
just accumulated some riffs that I would go to kind
of I would say, there would go to rifts for
me and I put them all together in this format. Yeah,
and then we ended up doing it and then the
background vocals, uh, not quite plagiarism, but maybe I got
the idea of them for a song called from a
song called Floaty on the first Foo Fighters record, where
it's you know, he floats floats away, she floats floats away,
They float float away. Ye. So for my part on that,
I said, you know, he don't know that, they don't
know you. You know, that kind of thing. It's where
I get the idea. But as far as the actual
words themselves, worm, you can speak to that you wrote them, yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, keep calling them warm justin.
Speaker 10: Would you care to speak on the lyrics?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just kind of about trying to with this
crazy world of technology, trying to remember what what's really
important that we're are, our humanity, and it's kind of
where it's going from.
Speaker 10: One other thing on that that you might notice the
drums are just a friend from biz Marqi. That was
a template.
Speaker 1: I did not notice that.
Speaker 10: So if you listen to it, I noticed you. Well
you said something about the grooves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the groove, yeah I do, yeah, yeah, I love
the groove on that. Yeah. But I didn't notice that specifically.
Speaker 16: That was it.
Speaker 10: I said, give me just a friend. Adam played a
very simple bassline, just kind of doubling the bass drum
and a nice low chill groove. But yeah, that was
the inspiration for it.
Speaker 1: You were also saying too off air that you weren't
happy with the Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's the funniest thing because we recorded this live
and uh, you know, there's a couple of clams in
solo for you that are on uh not in the loop.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 10: My dad was an old jazz guy, so a clam
would be if they hit a bad note. Okay, so
that's what I'm referencing. So there's a couple of clams
in that solo, particularly the end. And I was like,
but I didn't want to redo the whole track. Yeah,
And the producer is like, nah, it's great, just keep it,
and I'm like, all right, yeah, yeah, less work for me.
Speaker 1: Like, I think it was the right call.
Speaker 23: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I love the rye energy of it, and and I
love your tone on that too. It's so good, so good.
Speaker 9: If you are just joining us, we have superbug here
and so what's what's kind of the I mean, are
you guys already thinking about the next record, or because.
Speaker 1: You've got you've got so much music. How long has
Hesitation Jelly been out?
Speaker 10: Year and a half now, may have last year, so
it's been a little while. Yeah, Parker has been working
on a home studio, getting that set up. Yeah, because
you know, when you make a record, it's tricky making
four people happy and getting everybody to agree on it.
And you know, if we can do it ourselves at home,
I guess my attitude is if you think you can
do it, but we can fight amongst So yeah, you know,
because I'm the impatient one, I just want to get
it out. I just want to do it. I don't
want to retake it. Good, Fine, well I'll admit it.
So you know, if we if we do it at home,
we can probably take a little more time. And I'm
not particular, So it's like, if you want to take
the extra time to make it you happy. I just
want loud guitar, I want to hear everything, and I'm
good and that's it. However you so choose. But yeah,
we're our goal is to kind of have something out
by next spring. So this winter we're going to put
some time in on that.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, excellent, it'll be another full length.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: The problem we're having is where we write so much
that it's remembering the songs we didn't record from when
we started that are still cool because they're like, you know,
lost dogs, they kind.
Speaker 1: Of go away.
Speaker 8: The new ones are the most fun.
Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Get kind of sick of playing the same song over
and over again, so.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 9: And you guys have a lot of music. I mean,
is that is that hard to like? Are you already
thinking about what songs you're gonna record for the next.
Speaker 10: One or yeah we got a few? Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
because you got a lot of you a lot well,
even like Humanity the song you just played, that's that's
a great song. Listen to it now. We don't even
play it in our live set anymore, really, yeah, because
that we've got new stuff that we like so much more. Yeah, yeah,
we might throw it in. Yeah yeah, but yeah, that's
a good problem to have though, you know, you know,
we we've got a gig coming up at Molehill and Alstead.
We're looking at eighty minute set, which I got to
be honest, forty five are my favorite because you get on,
you get off, you hit them in the face, and
you go party. Yep yeap hours not bad eighties like whoa.
But we put the set together and we're like, wow,
this is a banger, Like this is a solid set.
All this stuff slaps.
Speaker 9: Yeah, No, that's really good. That's really good. Time goes
goes quickly. I do want to make sure we have
time to get that last start, that last track.
Speaker 10: In Me Too, epic guitar solo. Bro, there you go,
there you go.
Speaker 9: So remind us some of shows coming up we should
offer for listeners just joining us.
Speaker 1: Well, we want to make sure people get to get
out to see you live.
Speaker 10: Our manager gave me this list to make sure that
we have anything on it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, right.
Speaker 10: Maul Hill Theater and Alsted on eight twenty three with
the Evocatives. Check them out, they're great. Auspicious Brew in
Dover on nine thirteen. The Button Factory in is Portsmouth
with Mercury Burns First on nine twenty seven October Fest.
I'm not sure this is actually this is a scoop, everybody.
This hasn't even been announced yet. Oh so, The Auburn
Pits on ten five Hannecker Brewing Company on ten seventeen.
Auspicious Underground in Nashville on eleven fifteen. So yeah, come
out and check us on the road. Very cool, you
won't be disappointed.
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with Auspicious Underground. Is that new?
Speaker 10: Or Terminal Underground?
Speaker 1: Sorry, Terminus Underground.
Speaker 10: I had that written down.
Speaker 1: I read it.
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, okay, I'm glad. I'm glad I said that
because to thank you. They're big supporters of the show.
We love Eleanor and yes, sorry, yeah, sorry guys, She'll
forgive you.
Speaker 8: But uh, I think you said it the first time too.
Speaker 10: That's my bad.
Speaker 8: I probably streaming in the backs.
Speaker 23: That's not what it's called.
Speaker 10: And your anger is justified.
Speaker 1: Apologize. No, we love we love Terminus have you have
you been there yet?
Speaker 16: No?
Speaker 1: But we see it.
Speaker 2: It looks super cool.
Speaker 10: And the interesting thing about the bug I'm going to
refer to us in the third person is we haven't
really found a scene that we're in. We kind of
like the evocatives are kind of like, uh, you know, dancy, flowy,
hippyish kind of jazzy stuff. We've played with the metal bands,
uh you know, we've played with cover bands.
Speaker 1: We guys can fit in anyway. That's the cool part.
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, we kind of can blend in, you know,
and it's it's a nice place to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9: The thing I always say about Terminus is it's like
when you walk into that room the first time, it's
like another world.
Speaker 1: It looks cool, so cool.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Yeah, we're super excited.
Speaker 1: Who else is on the show?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 10: I don't think it's been announced yet. Okay, it had
to It had to get postponed. It was supposed to
be in September, and now it's going in November. But
that works out great for us because we had nothing
in uh in November okay, okay, and we had it
would have been like three or four weeks in a
row in uh September.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's the other thing.
Speaker 10: We love doing this, But we don't have to become
a job right exactly, although I think Parker has a
great way of saying it. It's like, hey, we were
going to be jamming that night anyway, so we're just
doing the same thing at a at a different spot.
Speaker 1: There you go, There you go.
Speaker 10: That's uh listening wives, that's our justification.
Speaker 9: And where should people go online? Where's the best place
to go online to keep up with everything that is doing?
Speaker 10: Facebook and Instagram. We'll both have everything on there. Okay,
we don't have like our own web page or anything yet.
We you know, we don't have any delusions of grandeur,
but we do have T shirt stickers, even friendship bracelets,
all that fun stuff. Yeah, and vinyl obviously, so if
you're interested, reach out. We can't get it to you. Yeah,
Otherwise you can come to our show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 10: Shout out to the Shashking for having us in May too.
That was a great place to play, probably the I
don't know about you, guys, that was probably the best club. Yeah.
That was such a great set and such a great sound,
great room, the crowd was great. Thanks to Burn Permit
for having us. So yeah, it was amazing, outstanding, outstanding.
Speaker 9: So we'll we'll end the segment with the track blame game. Now,
what should we know about this? Anything we should know
about So this was.
