radiation sickness. I love that. That is so good. It
is Matt Connorton Unleashed. We are live on this Saturday morning.
Jenny is here, of course at the news table, present
account it far and joining us via Skype is the
great Dylan Reynolds Dillan. Are you there?
Speaker 9: I am?
Speaker 3: How are you good?
Speaker 2: Good? Hey man? I love that. I love that track.
I love this EP really great stuff, and I'm so
happy to talk to you this morning, tell us if
you would about Radiation Sickness and what the premise is.
It's got a as one my guess from the title,
there must be a story to it. It has a
very specific premise, if you could explain that to us.
Speaker 10: So, yeah, Radiation Sickness, it's it's the entire EP is
more like a concept DP. It's kind of building a story.
But I love like post apocalyptic theme stuff, like I
read novels, I play games, you know, like the Fallout
series or Metro stuff like that. Yeah, so I've always
always had a really big fascination with post apocalyptic or
post nuclear kind of stuff. And I was like, well,
you know, I like listening, I like playing stuff like this.
But you know, there's a few bands that I like
that do similar stuff to that, and I was like,
it's always something that I've wanted to do. So I
just decided to kind of build a little, a little,
I guess, minor story about what could possibly happen based
off of what has already happened in the world. So
kind of just piecing things together out of my brain,
just having fun, and.
Speaker 2: You know, and this is this is specifically though about Chernobyl.
Right the Chernobyl Disaster or is it a broader concept
than than just Chernobyl.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, Reacting number four is definitely about Chernobyl.
It's it's actually probably the most or the less fictitious
song on the release. So, I mean I went in,
I did research, you know, the time, the date, the protocol,
procedures to clean up, everything like that. And there was
a good series on HBO called Chernobyl. I don't know
if you've seen it.
Speaker 8: I have not it.
Speaker 2: I've heard a lot about it.
Speaker 3: Oh dude, it's it's phenomenal.
Speaker 10: So, you know, watching stuff like that, and I'm like, dude,
I could, I could definitely write something about this. So
I pieced it all together and then you know, I
took it from the first song, which was Reacting number four,
and I decided just to build this entire story out
based off of, you know, the one true event and
that really did happen, but then other stuff inspired on
kind of like the themes and the imagery and stuff
that would fit the narrative but didn't actually happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's particularly intriguing to me because I mean, I
love the music, and so regardless of what it's about,
I would enjoy this, but particularly intriguing to me because
I'm actually I'm old enough to remember when Jernobyl happened,
and I still remember coming home from school that day
and the news had already broken, and I come home
and I'm worried, and I turn on the TV and
and you know, there it is. They're talking about Peter
Jennings of ABC News. For those of us who who
might recall, Uh, there he is talking about it. And
I was freaked out because I didn't know what was
going to happen. You know, is a cloud of nuclear
radiation going to float all the way to the United
States and kill all of us? And you know, my yeah,
and my fears were quelled relatively quickly because you know,
these experts are saying, well, you know, it's kind of
unlikely that it would make it all the way here
and whatnot. But at the in the moment, I was
freaked out.
Speaker 10: Well, yeah, you know, you got to think of like
the timeline too. You know, it's right towards the very
end of the Red Scare. Everybody's afraid of, you know,
the tensions with Russia and the tensions we get in
the States. So they're thinking, you know, you know, was
this a plan thing? Is something terribly gonna go wrong?
Can this lead to more nuclear kind of stuff?
Speaker 3: So it's a big level of.
Speaker 10: Uncertainty, you know, definitely before you know, the Iron Curtain
came down and.
Speaker 3: Everything like that.
Speaker 10: But yeah, uh, it's you know, it's it's a scary
theme because I mean, realistically, nobody other than the people
that had to move away from the area, and nobody's
really been through anything like that since, right, so you know,
imagine what would that be.
Speaker 3: Like if the entire world was like that. So that's
the scary part of the topic.
Speaker 2: Right right now you mentioned So there's some fictitious elements
to the story also that you tell in these in
these songs on the CP.
Speaker 10: Definitely, you know, Prippy At is the third song. It
was originally supposed to be the opener track because it
has a really, really really long intro in it, But
then I started thinking about it and I'm like, as
far as the timeline is concerned, that that wouldn't make sense.
Decided to put that a little bit farther down. But
that's actually based on.
Speaker 3: There's a.
Speaker 10: There's an old PC computer game called Stalker, which is
about the Uh, there's a bunch of warring factions in
the you know, the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, and there's you know,
mutants and stalkers are basically guys that go in. They
have you know, wars and gangs and stuff like that,
and they go in and they fight mutants, they.
Speaker 3: Fight, uh you know, bandit like that. Sorry and uh,
sorry about that. I gotta turn on gotta turn on
the radio voice.
Speaker 2: Don't We're on a delay.
Speaker 3: So I caught it.
Speaker 10: It's all good, okay, good deal, and uh but yes,
so Pripyat's about the Stalker games.
Speaker 3: Radiation Sickness is more of not really based on.
Speaker 10: Anything, but rather the theme. And then, uh, the Aftermath
is a song that I wrote. I probably wrote that
song like seven or eight years ago and I just
never had anything to kind of put it with.
Speaker 3: And it's it's more of like you know, the big screams,
the big terror of the fires.
Speaker 10: Everything is for the most part been put out, but
it's about what remains after and it's all these people
just basically either one trying to survive or two banding.
Speaker 3: Together to take whatever they want. So kind of mad
Max in a way.
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, I'm curious.
Speaker 7: Do you know.
Speaker 2: How do I fraise it? Do you do you know
why you're interested in this subject and these themes, like
did you grow up always having a fascination with sort
of apocalyptic or post apocalyptic stuff or or is this
something you've always been into or and do you know
where it comes from? I'm always super curious about this kind.
Speaker 3: Of thing, definitely.
Speaker 10: So I grew up watching Mad Max, some of my
favorite movies of all time Road Warrior Beyond Thunderdome, and
I've always liked that concept. And then a couple of
years when I was growing up later into it, you know,
like movies like The Book of Eli came out, and
just seeing that kind of down you.
Speaker 3: Know, dirty gritty.
Speaker 10: Themes and imagery, and I'm just like, dude, this is
it kind of brings humanity back to its primal stage.
You know, there is no you're my neighbor and I'm
going to take care of you anymore. It's you have
what I want and I'm going to come take it.
So it's always kind of fascinated me. I guess maybe
like on a I don't know, like a mental or
a psychological level, like what could make humanity revert back
to the most basic of instincts, and the Great Reset
would do that, and so it's just I guess it's
just always been fascinating to me on that level. So
anytime a new book comes out that's post apocalyptic and theme,
or a movie year a game, I'm usually the first
one to try it. Plus, you know, I grew up
playing Fallout. It's one of my favorite game series of
all time, so I've always always kind of really read
into it from that angle too.
Speaker 2: So is that what I'm not a gamer, but I
assume Fallout is that that's about something having to do
with nuclear radiation.
Speaker 10: I assume, yeah, yeah, so Fallout is sent in I
think it's like two hundred years after a great nuclear
war devastates the entire world. Yeah, And I won't get
into the lord because it's just too much to talk about.
But essentially, the government built underground vaults and bunkers and
they decided to risk, you know, certain people underground in
a way to write it out or they could come
back after most of the radiation goes away, and when
a lot of them open up, they realize it never
went away. And there's bandits, there's some small vestages of
humanity left and it's it's a really cool role playing.
Speaker 3: Experience.
Speaker 10: If if you ever decide to get into any of them,
I would heavily recommend it. It's just it's a it's
a fun, fun experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I won't. I actually about twenty years
ago was the last time I ever held any kind
of a game controller. And I had to put it
down and I said, I'm never playing any more games
because I found it very psychologically addictive. Oh yes, yes,
the last video game I ever played. I remember I
was at a friend's house and they had fallen asleep
and it was like one am, and I had started
playing this game at like nine pm, and there it
is four hours later, and I'm looking at the clock
and I'm like, I can't do this anymore. And I
actually stopped because that's that's exactly the kind of thing
that I would get sucked into.
Speaker 3: And then oh yeah, yes, dude, it's it's even worse.
Speaker 10: Like I had add Man, it's really hard for me
to concentrate on certain things. But if you put a
controller in my hand, you know, just like you say,
it'll be a PM and the next.
Speaker 3: Time you look at the clock it's four or four am,
and you're like, what happened? So I get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, this is a little bit, a little bit
of a left turn, uh topically, But you mentioned a
d D. I uh do some work with some uh
podcasting with a gentleman named doctor Kevin ross Emory and
a d D ADHD. It's kind of a specialty of his,
and he talks about he has a book called Managing
the Gift, for example, and he talks about a lot
about how people with a d D actually tend to
be more creative and and accomplish more in terms of
their creativity and and and you know, just uh, you know,
whether it be music or visual art or whatever it is.
I mean, do you feel that, Like I said, I know,
this is kind of a curve. You probably didn't expect
to be talking about this, But I'm curious since since
you mentioned it, do you feel that your ad D
helps you because you're you're such a creative person. Do
you feel that it helps you in some way with
your in terms of making music and everything else.
Speaker 10: Definitely, I feel like I to a degree, I hyper
fixate on things.
Speaker 3: That I like.
Speaker 10: So you know, I'm not gonna say, like, I'm a
teetotal perfectionist. But if I look at something and I realize,
you know, that could be slightly better, you know, I'll
it's it's there's an old common saying. It's like, you know,
if you're painting something, you're never really done painting it.
It's just when you decide to quit, because you can
always add more pain, right, So it's the same thing
with music.
Speaker 3: You know, I do graphic art.
Speaker 10: It's the same thing with that as well. I can
sit at a computer and make a million tiny changes
that probably ninety percent of people wouldn't realize. But if
I don't do them, I'll look at it and I
think I should have done that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, kind of. And then on the flip side
of it.
Speaker 10: You know, you get like writer's blog or designer's block
a lot. So sometimes you just sit there and be
frustrated at a computer trying to write something or trying
to design something, to the point where you have to
take a break, and sometimes it sucks, but that break
is like a month long, and then when you come
back from that break, it's like everything falls into place.
But you know, if you spend too much time on something,
then you'll you'll just get annoyed with it, right, But but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you You've always got multiple things going on
creatively anyway, right, so i'd imagine, Oh yeah, it's kind
of move from one thing to the next, but but
they're all they're all always in motion.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And that's the way to keep it fresh too,
is you know, you get a little frustrated with one thing,
put it down, run to the next, knock that out,
come back.
Speaker 3: So that definitely does help.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you mentioned too being a graphic artist, so
obviously you do all the artwork for you know, like
radiation sickness. You did all all that yourself, I would imagine.
Speaker 10: Right, Uh yeah, So normally, under normal circumstances, I'll be
one hundred percent transparent with it for normal clients I have.
I never use AI generated art. I think it's a
cool tool to get inspiration, but I don't ever use
it for clients of mine. I did use it for
my stuff just because it's something I wanted to put
out as quick as possible, so I did a.
Speaker 3: Lot of editing to it.
Speaker 10: But for the most part, it is generated. But like
I said, it's it's only stuff that I've used for
for my personal stuff.
Speaker 3: That way, I'm not.
Speaker 10: I'm not going to charge somebody, you know, however much
I charge for a design when it took ten seconds
to generate versus you know them, tell me something specific
and I'll make it myself.
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, yeah, but but yeah, that's interesting because that's
another subject that comes up a lot on this show,
you know, AI and and how it affects the music
industry and art and so forth. Are you how do
you feel about AI in terms of music? Are you
worried about it?
Speaker 3: Do you care?
Speaker 9: Is it?
Speaker 2: There's a lot of varying opinions on the matter.
Speaker 10: Well, you know me, I love rock music right as
far as when it comes to playing it live. You know,
rock bands historically have played every for the most part,
played every instrument live. Pop music resorts a little bit
more towards backing tracks and not as many live musicians.
Speaker 3: So in a way it's a stretch.
Speaker 10: But in a way I kind of look at it like,
how is AI any different than a pop singer playing
live if they're just playing to music behind them and
then somebody hits a button and generates a couple beats.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of in that it.
Speaker 10: Like I said, it's a stretch now as far as
being like a complete creative process, Like you know, I'm
going to pump in a formula on the computer and
it's gonna pull out beats for me, it's gonna pull
out chord patterns. It's gonna do that. Don't really believe
in that. I don't find that creative at all, right,
But maybe using it as just an inspiration tool rather
than the the means to an end I think would
probably be okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, It's going to be very interesting in
the coming years to see how the music industry deals
with it and and so forth. But getting back to
radiation sickness for a moment, So are you performing these
songs live or is this strictly a studio project or
how are you proceeding with it?
Speaker 3: Currently? Studio project?
Speaker 10: Only in my normal day to day, I'm extremely busy,
so I don't have a lot of time to go
out and find guys that I trust you can learn
all the material and then grind and play a whole
bunch of shows. So it's more just fun for me
and a little bit of a segue. It helps me
build up a catalog which gets me. You know, different
doors open. Like right now, I am writing the soundtrack
for a local movie based out of Hickory, North Carolina.
Speaker 3: Oh, so we're writing.
Speaker 10: It's a full, completely independent movie. So they wanted to
do an eighties style slasher thriller.
Speaker 3: Oh and they.
Speaker 10: Wanted a complete hard rock soundtrack to go with the movie.
So it's somebody that I've known for years. That's he's
a writer, he's an author, he's done a lot of
really cool stuff. And he asked me, He's like, hey,
do you want to do this? And I said, yeah,
you don't even have to pay me, let's do it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So you know, even if it's something small like that,
they can get the door open.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 10: I'm I'm extremely I've already got five or six songs.
If I get permission when it gets closer to release time,
I'd love to.
Speaker 3: Send you one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that way we can.
Speaker 3: We can do a little bit of promotion on that.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Absolutely. Oh that's very cool and that's uh, that's
certainly right up your alley. Are you Are you playing
out at all currently? Do do you do any live
shows of any kind? I know you you have the
I don't know if you still do it the Judas
Priest start for you.
Speaker 10: Ben, Yes, yeah, we still do Unleash the Classic Judas
Priests Tribute. We actually just got back from Virginia about
three weeks ago. We played a showdown there for a
biker rally.
Speaker 3: Cool, so we did that. We got some stuff coming
up in October. We we try to do, like bar Hop.
Speaker 10: We don't want to be weekend Warriors because we all
have full time jobs and families and everything like that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, we try to do like five, six, seven
big shows a year and then just spend the rest
of the time with family.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well that's cool. Is it challenging singing?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Halford obviously one of the greats, some would say the best,
you know, the metal god Rob Halford. Is that challenging
to do? I mean, do you have to especially whereas
like you said, if you're only doing five or six
big shows a year with that project, is that to
get your voice in shape for that? Is that challenging
at all? Or is it perfectly natural? Or how do
you approach that vocally?
Speaker 10: Now that I have spent years singing it, you know,
I could go weeks without practice, go to you know,
then go to a rehearsal.
Speaker 3: And play it like we've been playing in it for
a year straight.
Speaker 10: I would probably indirectly, I would probably credit Halford for
getting my voice the way it is, learning how to
sing his stuff, because you know, if you listen vocally
on the Radiation Sickness EP, it's very guttural, it's very raspy, rolly,
which is how I originally learned to sing. I grew
up listening to you know, early Pauldiano, Iron Maiden, really
deep voice, because that's what I had. I didn't have
a high pitched voice growing up singing, so I learned
how to sing like that. And then I get into it,
and you know, that's these guys that I've been playing
with for a while.
Speaker 3: We were doing like.
Speaker 10: Variety eighties metal, just you know, for fun, going and
playing a couple of shows a year, doing whatever, and
then we all decided let's do let's do one band,
and we all agreed on Priest. Then I'm sitting here thinking,
oh my, I have to learn how to sing like Priest.
So it took years, years and years and years to
learn how to how to get Halford's nuances, especially his highests.
Those are some of those are really brutal.
Speaker 3: But but like I said, man, the only way to
do it is to do it.
Speaker 10: And I just I went out there and I practiced
for years just that, I mean, the same songs over
and over and over and just tried to get a
little better at each time. And man, I've probably grown
at least an entire octave range learning how to sing
his stuff. Yeah, it's been tough, is.
Speaker 2: There I'm curious is there any particular pre song that
really gave you a hard time? Is there is there
one you can pinpoint as being the most challenging.
Speaker 10: Yes, there is a song called Devil's Child and it
is off of the Screaming for Vengeance album.
Speaker 3: It is absolutely and it was.
Speaker 10: One of the first songs they wanted to learn too,
so right, So, I mean it's it's tough, man. There
is a there's kind of like a bridge section where
it's just nothing but you know, his highest screaming piercing notes.
And it's not like there's different levels to Holford's screams.
There's low screams and there's high and that mid section
is nothing but high screams. Chorus is high screams. I
mean it's Yeah, it's tough, man, I think. I mean, honestly,
this is kinda gonna be weird to say, but I
think I could sing Painkiller easier than I could sing
Devil's Child.
Speaker 3: Really, it's right in the pocket.
Speaker 10: I don't know how to describe other than that with
my voice, but I can hit those screams all day
long because they're not they're right about in the same zone.
So it's the not monotonous, but it doesn't gas me out.
Devil's Child for some reason, Dude, that song kills me
every time.
Speaker 2: But it's probably kind of cool in a way that
you had to You said that was one of the
first ones, or the first one they wanted you to learn,
because I mean, if you can sing that, you can
sing any of it, right, If that's yes, So that's
probably a good way to start from that standpoint.
Speaker 3: Oh definitely, yeah, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Very cool. Uh, Dylan, the time goes so quickly. I
do want to so we'll let you go in a moment,
but I want to end the segment by playing another
track from Radiation Sickness. Uh, But I'd like you to
choose what would be a good What would be a
good one?
Speaker 3: To end with, let's go with the title track.
Speaker 2: Oh there it is. Yeah, I'm staring right at it
and not seeing it. Clearly, I need more caffeine. All right,
very good, So we'll play that. We'll play the title
track from Radiation Sickness and Dylan, where should people go

Speaker 14: Front side, the chewing its tip back, the shame the
same ship.
Speaker 7: You.
Speaker 2: I love that. That is epic. The song is blessing
in disguise. The band is Factory of Art, and I
think we have a couple of guys from Factory of
Art on Skype with us. Hello, can you guys hear me?
Speaker 8: Hey? Hello, here's still a fun Factory of Art and
the best drama of the world rather is with me today?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, welcome guys. How are you? How are you
are you? Are you on the road right now?
Speaker 8: Yeah? We are not on the road, but on the boat.
We play a show tonight on a little metal cruise
in a New York Berlin.
Speaker 2: Oh that's cool. That's cool. Is a weather, they're a
good good cruise weather.
Speaker 8: Oh very fine. It's not too hot, but it's sunny
and a lot of guys are here on a boat.
And we hope we will play a good show tonight,
but not as factory of art. We I told you
earlier that we have a cover project. We play songs
of Inhale, Pumstein, a CDC and so on. Yeah, tonight
is party. Tonight is not the factory of art show.
It's a factory under cover. Sure.
Speaker 2: Oh I gotcha, I got cha.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: That's cool though, that you get to play on a
cruise And congratulations by the way on the album. And uh,
I love these songs. I mean this is next level.
Blessing in Disguise is such an interesting song. You know,
it's it's got you know, kind of the power metal thing.
But there's also there's also some curveballs in there. There's
some things you don't necessarily expect to hear. At one point,
it sounds almost like a Moog keyboard is in there,
or a wurlitzer or something. It's really interesting.
Speaker 8: Oh, thank you very much. It's it's so nice to
hear that, because we are very proud. Now the album
is ready. We had a very good record release show
in Leipsish in June, and the first reviews on the
album in the German underground press are very very good.
We are very happy with this. Sure and sure it's
so nice that you like it. It's great. The best
review says twelve from ten points.
Speaker 3: Okay the scale.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, excellent, excellent. Now are you guys getting to
play these songs live? I know tonight you're not because
you're doing the covers, But do you guys have a
lot of opportunities to play these songs live.
Speaker 8: We played some shows with a new new material. Now
we have a little break. It's summertime here and we're
too late to be booked on the great festivals in Germany.
We have to try it in the next month. Is
in the next year. Yeah, we have some gigs in
Leipzig in Germany at all. It's great. It's a great
adventure for us to play the new material live on stage.
But it's not the thing that we have a tour.
That's yeah, that's the thing we have to work about
in the next month.
Speaker 2: Is Okay, Okay. Is it challenging to play the new
material live? Because, like I said, it's it's it's pretty loud.
Speaker 8: There we were under a bridge. That's why, a little
bit too loud.
Speaker 2: That makes sense, That makes sense. So the boat, the
boat is in motion. Is it challenging to play these
songs live? Because, like I said, it's you know, it's
not your standard power metal. There's some there's some other
things going on. It's very complex.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a it's a challenge for us. It was
a challenge for us, but we were well prepared for
the first show, our record release show, and like this,
we had all our vocal singers, guest singers on stage
during the show. That was so so nice, and we
we trained very very hard to give the best on stage.
It's it's a challenge for us.
Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, yeah, do you I mean, are you
able to play like when you do these shows? Do
you just focus on the newer material because you you
got you guys have been around for more than three decades, right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it is. We just last week we created
a new Settlers, a mix of the new album and
older songs. And now we have the ninety one hundred
minute show program. We have I think seven new tracks
and three or four of the both former earlier albums.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I assume. I mean obviously, I don't know that
I've listened to anything like really early from you guys.
Has the sound changed over the years, I would imagine
it has somewhat, right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it is the sound changed, the songwriting process
changed a little bit. But when we play on stage
new material or all of material, it's the same band.
It's the same sound, and that I think it's it's
a unit.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 8: The people like the old songs too. We play the
best of them, I think, and it's a good it's
a good mix of all and and people say, oh yeah,
she nice to have the new material but it's nice
to hear songs again that we never heard for twenty
years live on stage.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was gonna say, so. There must be people
who who've been there from the beginning, right, Do you
see people at the shows who you remember from way
back in the beginning when they first started to come
out and see the band.
Speaker 8: Yeah, still of them are still alive. Yeah, and uh,
best best for us is that these people, uh uh,
the the die hard fans from the first hour of
the band say, it's so nice that you are back.
And we like our new material too. I think it's
for the for the for the people. It's nice to
have the best of both worlds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. When you guys, when
you guys do shows with the new material, are you
doing fast?
Speaker 6: Of all?
Speaker 2: Are have you been able to do any of those
this summer?
Speaker 8: Yeah? We we played two shows, uh, two slots at festivals,
but we were so so heavy that we played the
whole new album in in on these two festivals.
Speaker 9: For it.
Speaker 8: It was for us to to to train on new material.
The people asked us, oh, would you play some some
older songs, and we said, sorry, not tonight. We want
to show you at the whole new album. And yeah,
it was very nice, but it was an interesting effect
for us. The people heard very very I don't know
the English word ox. We both don't know. They heard
the new material and we're and but they needed a
little bit time to understand it.
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, no, that makes sense, but nice to have.
Speaker 8: We sell our albums, our physical albums on our merge
stand and it works, but only it works if you
play a good show. Why and that's why we try
to make it very good every every night. Tonight we
have the cover program. It's nice to have for us,
but we try to to reach the people with a
few informations about our factory, of our project. Let's see
how it works tonight.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I would imagine your music too. You must see like
multiple generations. I assume you see young people at your
shows too, right, because you you have music, I feel
it's timeless. I feel that probably anyone of any age
could get into what you're doing. Do you see a
lot of young people at your shows?
Speaker 8: You're absolutely right. It's when you're here in Germany, go
to a festival. You have a mixture of people, elder people,
young people, and we have good response of both of them.
You're right, it's it's seems yourself cannot say it's timeless,
but if you say it, the people say, okay, it's
it's it's a I think, uh, that's true. That's that's
the truth here and this is this is our experiences
of the last two shows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent. Are you guys, are are you
getting any traction at radio or radios they're playing you?
I don't know what the what the situation is with
radio in that part of the world currently. If there's
a format, it supports what you're doing. But I'm curious,
I don't.
Speaker 8: We like the American radio scene very much every time
when i'm as a tourist.
Speaker 15: Am in in the States, I like it so very much.
But here in Germany it's so commercial. Yeah, it's so
commercial there we have with our music, no chance. But
there is a really great and.
Speaker 8: Interesting underground radio scene. And these guys are loving the
new album. And we have Airplane in internet ratios stations
here in Germany.
Speaker 2: Oh, excellent, excellent, very good, yeah, very good.
Speaker 8: We are an album of the months June or July
in five or six radio stations here in Germany. And
that's for us, a very good thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, congratulations on that. That is outstanding. Well, listen, guys,
it's great to speak with you. Uh, we'll We'll let
you go. It sounds like there's a band. Is there
a band on stage right now? Or is that a stereo?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, yes, as another band on stage. We look
for the quietest place on this boat. But we have
to go swim if you want to have it.
Speaker 2: Still, I understand, I completely understand. No, it sounds like
a great time. It sounds fun. And uh uh when
when do you guys play? Is it in a few
hours or is it soon?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: We have we have just have time.
Speaker 7: We have uh.
Speaker 8: Stage time is here in Germany seven pm. Yeah, it
means to an half hour. We have to go on
stage and we play our open plumstick.
Speaker 2: Usher excellent.
Speaker 8: From a from a little German band.
Speaker 2: I've seen them, Yeah, I've seen Ramstein. I can't pronounce
it correctly but my American mouth, but but I've seen
Ramstein live and it's it's quite a show. In fact,
the times that I've seen them, if you're close enough
to the stage, you can feel the heat coming from
the pyro, which is a little scary.
Speaker 8: But there's a nice story of our earlier days. I
played two shows as local support with rumshein In in
the late nineties in Leipzigh. It was a great experience
for us. But they are so fantastic, so good as
well as little stage as well as a hall, not
a stadium, but it was so great for us, and
and it's what was nice too to meet the guys
of us is the time of their first album, Had
the Light now in these times.
Speaker 11: Oh, oh.
Speaker 8: The bridge, May we come under the bridge? Sorry, it's
it will be allowed for a few seconds.
Speaker 2: Oh that's okay, yeah, it's come.
Speaker 6: Here we go.
Speaker 16: Oh see Blacks have a paranoid. Yeah, yes they are,
Bryan here. It's so nice here, So there we go,
there we go.
Speaker 8: Sorry, now it's better.
Speaker 2: They should put some soundproofing panels under the bridge for
when that happens.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, we went through and everything's fine. I hope, yes, yes, yeah,
And we play some songs tonight. Helps Bells is the
second song from a cy DC and our last song,
Sure Motorhead is of Space, and then we have fifteen sixteen,
twenty twenty tracks to play tonight. We are the last
band headline on you boo and sure it's nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah I hear, I hear a Black Sabbath paranoid in
the background. It sounds good. Yeah, sure yeah, whoever that
band is, they sound good, but you will sound even better.
Speaker 3: I have no doubt.
Speaker 8: I hope that it will try it. You know, it's
it's it's party time for us tonight. But we want
