via Microsoft teams. We're gonna speak with them in just
a moment. But if you are listening live, welcome. We
have entered our number two New Marrow dose of Matt
Connorton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of
w m n H ninety five point three FM and
Glorious but very very bitterly cold Manchester, New Hampshire. Of course,
you can stream the show from anywhere to Matt connorton
dot com slash live for all your live streaming options,
social media links, contact info, show archives, et cetera, et cetera.
Today is January thirty one, twenty twenty six, and let's
go ahead. We'll get this up here. And I think
we've got a few members of the band with us.
Hello everybody, Hello, Hey, good. So let's see. So it
looks like we have Matt Aitchison, Drew Young and Chloe
Johnston with us. Is that correct, Yeah, that's right, wonderful,
welcome everybody. And uh yeah, I love that track. I mean,
it's it's just and I did listen to the whole album.
By the way, You've got a just a big sound.
I just you know, that's the easiest way to describe it.
It's just big. It's expansive, and I really really like that.
I love the mix. I love everything about it. So welcome.
Is wonderful to speak to the three of you now,
and you're a five piece? Correct? Yeah, yeah, I bet
when you play live, I'm sure it also sounds you know,
you know big. I'd love to I'd love to see
all live. Obviously geographically that would not be uh not
be easy to pull off. But but let's see. So,
so Matt you're you're the guitar player, and Drew you're
the drummer, and Chloe you do a vocals and synth. Correct, yep,
that's right, very good, very good. So well, let's start
with the most obvious question first and then we'll kind
of we'll we'll talk more about the music. But I
want to know about the name. What is brsr mein.
Speaker 10: So it's actually just short. In the version of Bruiser
it was Dove who's not here to their front man
who wanted here. Orisinally wanted to be called Burst and
I thought that was the worst name we postedly go
for because the quotations for that in Scotland are probably
completely different from any else in the world. Yeah, so
we we went with Bruiser, but I found out there
was a DJ also called Bruiso, so I thought the
easiest thing to do was to shorten it. Also, just
it looks it looks better in terms of the logo
and things that just look a little bit on the
T shirt.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's true, it does, it does. So am I
am I saying it wrong?
Speaker 11: Then?
Speaker 8: Am I?
Speaker 12: Am?
Speaker 9: I not supposed to say b R s R.
Speaker 10: No, it would be bruiser. But we get a lot
of people all the same being like, oh, hey, what
what was this done for me?
Speaker 13: Well?
Speaker 9: Nothing, so I should be saying bruiser. Yeah, okay, wonderful, Okay, excellent, excellent.
So tell me about that that track portals because it just,
like I said, it just sounds so big. It's atmospheric,
you know, it's it's it kind of reminds me a
little bit of of some of the at least what
was happening here in America some of that well I
shouldn't say happening here in America because a lot of
it was happening over there, but it was becoming very
popular here in America. You know that that kind of
a big, expansive sound. But I'm curious, I mean, is
that kind of I listened to the whole album, it
kind of sounds that's like what you're going for broadly,
but you you capture it so well. I think Portals
is an excellent choice for a single, But how do
you how do you describe your sound? What is it
that you're trying to project with Bruiser? Now that I
know how to say the name, I.
Speaker 10: Think for us, from the start, we've always spoken about
the fact that we feel that the best version of
ourselves is live. And when we recorded this album, we
recorded it initially live in a converted church building over
the course of two days. So for example, one of
the longest song on the album is the second last track,
Buried at Home, which is just under about eleven minutes,
and the take that is on the album was the
was the only take we did, and it was done
live and full. And I think that that is the
way that we want to capture the band, because for me,
I feel like any band should be at the peak
of the powers when they're live and are able to
express themselves and change things as time goes on. Because
you know, the quarley version of anything, I think if
you're going to stick to that version for this, your
career is going to get boring pretty quickly. So this
this is the kind of way the songs sound now,
but it's it's open to the idea of we can
adapt these as as as the sound progresses, as we
progressive musicians and as we change as people as well.
But I get what you mean about this about the
sound as well. Like we I would say was was
probably my attempt to write a hum song. So yeah,
as long as long as we capture the kind of
essence of that, then I'll be happy with that.
Speaker 9: And what are the lyrics about here? And who writes
the lyrics? I don't know if your singer writes them
or if you write them or who who? Who?
Speaker 10: Ye, it's myself for the time being, so that this
this album was written by myself out there in necessity
because we've been we've been a band that for six
months and we had about three songs that we we
we sort of rushed together for a gig. The band
band is pretty much that the gig was booked before
before a band essentially, and the band was sort of
made for a gig still six months later. So one
song became too, two became four, and then ended up
just with a full album. So that's pretty much what
I've been working with the past year or so. Lyrically,
it's it's part of the album as a whole, is
as a concept piece, but it also doubles up as
as individual songs as well, so that they have their
own different means to me personally as well to the
actual story itself. But it's it's sort of about being
either trap within yourself and looking for a way out,
but it's also about being trapped with another person but
feeling like you're together but you're not fully together. So
you know, the kind of world of being that you
can be living with someone, but you can feel like
you're not actually living with someone, if you know what
I mean. It's almost like so it's it is feeling
like you're living with someone that you have a deep
connection with, but the connections failing.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah, And I think that's something that's relatable. You know,
certainly a lot of people go through that. I mean
probably everyone goes through that at some point in their lives,
you know, feeling that way. Yeah, I feel like and
again not just with Portals, but with the rest of
the album too. You know, there's there's a lot of
emotion there. It's it's as you know, obviously you know
songs can be you know, they're up to the interpretation
of the of the listener, but I I could feel
a lot of I just found it. I found it
highly relatable, the whole thing, like I said, in addition
to the big sound, and also you know, just hearing
these lyrics and again, you know, I everyone puts their
own interpretation onto what they're hearing. But to me, I
really I really connected with a lot of this. Can
you can Can you tell me more again about how
this band started, because that was interesting. You said something
about a gig and then you had to put a
band together to fit the gig, and tell me about that.
Speaker 10: So essentially, David Arslinger had to say that he we
went on the bond previously, and he'd been in a
music for quite a way and he said to me,
I'm looking at getting back at music again. But he
obviously been a drummer. But we we'd known for I
was in a band with him when when I was fifteen,
so we'd always known that he had he had a
great voice, and he wanted to be He wanted this
to be his first solo adventure room and I was like, okay,
that's that's that's kind of cool. But he went ahead
and basically said to someone that we know that he
had he had music to put out and he was
willing to you want to play? Want to play his
first gig? So he put him on a bill and
he said to me, was like, oh, got this gig
coming up in a bit of a month's time. And
I was like, okay, cool, who's playing with you? And
he was like, no one. So I said to him,
I was like, I wasn't. I was kind of out
of music at this point as well. When I said
to him, right, okay, i'll cover guitar fhy just now,
and if you can get a band together, then I'm
quite happy to do the show with you and we'll
just take it from there.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 10: But I said to him that I wasn't interested in
writing any material or anything like that. So I said,
I leave that to you, and once you've got songs,
let me know and we'll get we'll get us together.
And then about two weeks for the gig, I said
to him, I was like, so, what's happening with us?
How many songs we have? And he was like, I
still have the one. I was like, I kind of
said to him, I was like, right, okay, we'll go
out of the room and we will we will spend
as long as we need to to get enough songs
together for a set list. So the first three singles
we put were written within this bace of about half
an hour an hour or so, and we wrote we
wrote those together, and I remember we actually finished the
lyrics for the last song on the setlist just as
the bass player and drummer thumb up for for our
first and only rehearsal before that gig. So that's that's
kind of how it all started. But it's it's obviously
and it's involved Drew Chloe further on down the line
as well, it's just myself and then for a while
and Kieran, who's the best player as well. He's been
in there since since day one. So it's it's essentially
a new a new outfit now and the chaotic beginnings
of the band have made this. So I'm very grateful
for the deciding that he was going to be a
gig with no songs or no band.
Speaker 9: That's amazing. I mean, you know, it almost kind of
makes you believe in fate, right that that this came
together like that under such chaotic circumstances that sound like
it sounds like it couldn't possibly work out then and
then it does and you just you just make it
work out. That's fantastic. So obviously the show went well.
Speaker 10: The show went well enough that we decided, you know,
maybe we can continue with this. But as I said,
we we either. I said to him, was like, okay,
I helped you with the songs. There, it's your baby.
You run with it, and you you do the songs
and we'll just get a practice together whenever. And then
about five six months past and I was like, how's
it coming with the writing, and he was like, yeah,
still won't go anything. And I was like, okay, I'm
kind of bored of playing the same like four or
five songs. Let's let's try something. And it's been the
first time since I've written a song myself, and probably
about nine to twelve months, I would say. The first
song that I wrote was on My Reasons, which is
the second track on the album, and then Portals pretty
much quickly followed after that, and it was sort of
just a snow wall effect of just I think I
had had a headspace of just I was back writing again.
And I had a purpose to write and we needed material,
so it all just came out one after another, and
it wasn't an intention to write an album. But when
we ended up with the Mint material with that, I
was like, this feels like a cohesive units as eight songs,
so we may as well. And then the more I
was looking at the lyrics myself, I was like, this
is telling more of a full story rather than individual
stories themselves. So yeah, it's it's been. It's been a
blessing to discussed because I didn't think I would have
I would ever be in a band again. They woul
mind writing songs again. But yeah, it's been. It's been
great for and it's been really really good having these
guys with me as well on this.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no doubt. Well when it comes together too like that,
when it just feels, like I said, there's almost a
sense of fate or destiny to it, uh, you know
the way you tell it. And when when it comes
together like that, you know you've got something. You know
you're like like if it's one thing, if you're if
you decide to start a band with somebody and then
you're you know, you're spending a year or whatever, you know,
trying to come up with some songs, and you're working
hard at it, and there's nothing wrong with working hard
at it. But but when it when it almost sounds
like you know, it just sort of uh, there's almost
an alchemy to it, and it all just sort of
comes together like that, that's when you know you've really
got something. And it's interesting too. You So you said
you didn't think you'd ever be in a band again.
Why is that?
Speaker 10: Well, personally, I've been through quite a bodstant with my
own mental and physical health over the past two years
before this, okay, and it can I continue in the
thought of this. This is why it was taking as
quite away with actually get to this point, because I
I was essentially bed bound for most of like twenty
twenty two, twenty twenty three. So to be able to
get to this point and be be here just now
as a miracle inner love itself. But as I say
as well, like this, this is a this is a
project that couldn't have been done without everyone involved, because
it can. You can write as many songs as you like,
but if you don't have a unit around you understand
everything and are invested in the project. As much as yourself.
Then it's it's really all for nothing.
Speaker 9: Right, absolutely, So how long has the band actually existed
at this.
Speaker 10: Point, Well from from our first Our first gig was
twenty twenty two, so you're talking about three three and
a bit years or so. But a most recent member
just now.
Speaker 9: Oh okay, Drew's the new guy.
Speaker 10: Yes, Drew Kloe came in towards towards the probably about
mid section last year. I'd say Colaie originally was just
providing back and vote on a lot of the album,
and I felt that she contributed so much to the
harmonic balance of a lot of the songs. Yeah, felt
wrong to just have her as essentially like a studio musician.
And I said there, I was like, what would you
feel about joining the band? And she was like, but
I can't play anything. And I was like, you can
play synth. She was like, I can't play it, and
I was like, you can learn. Yeah, that's that's so
she never plays synth, and she's learned as she goes,
and she's doing very very well.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Chloe.
Speaker 14: I was just going to say, and keeping with the
band being forced in chaos, I've only been playing since
since July.
Speaker 9: Last year, no caring. So is this your first So
is this actually your first musical instrument that you've played.
Speaker 14: So I've played like a little bit of guitar and
stuff in the past, but I've never been in any
bands or anything, just sort of doing it for fun.
And then obviously this is the first project where I've
really had to get my head down and learn an
instrument from sco. So it's been a challenged by.
Speaker 10: A good one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, No, it's good. And you know, I've heard a
lot of this comes up a lot on the show.
I've heard a lot of you know, music teachers and
music professors say that everybody and and by the way,
I did not take this advice. I can't play anything
on a keyboard, but that every musician should at least
know some some synth, keyboard, piano, whatever, because it helps you.
It helps you just knowing even a little bit of
that helps you with everything else in terms of music.
It helps you to understand chord structure better. It helps
you with everything. And and a lot a lot of
them will say too that that's the best place to start.
Obviously you're already playing guitar. As you said, but to,
but to even if you start, even if it's not
going to be your primary instrument, if you start on
a keyboard, it's going to help you with everything. So
but but yeah, but it does fit the chaotic nature
of how the band started, right, So that's great. Good
for you, Good for you. I mean, has it been
scary or do you just take the challenge and say,
now I'm going to do this, or or what's been
your mindset with it?
Speaker 14: It has been quite intimidating, especially since all the guys
have been in bands before, and bands that have done
quite well, and I sort of sometimes get a little
bit of that imposter syndrome where I sort of get
up on stage with them and I'm like, I'm surrendered
by these people who've been playing their instrument for like
decades now, and here I am just clunking away at
my keys, no idea what doing right In that regard,
It's been a little a little bit intimidating. But the
guys are so just so lovely and so so encouraging,
and I couldn't be surrendered by better people.
Speaker 9: So yeah, oh that's fantastic. And then so Drew, So
you're the newest member, so how long have you been
in the band now.
Speaker 12: I am yeah, and it will be coming up on
a year. I reckon a year and okay maybe, okay, okay,
but it's been great fun. I think myself and Matt
we played in a different band maybe two or three
years ago that oh, just over the pandemic sort of
lost steam.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 12: So when Matt had got in touch that their drummer
or the previous drummer, Kyle, had stepped aside, Okay, I
totally jumped at the chance to be able to play
with Matt again. It's always been great fun, and as
he said, I've always really enjoyed his songwriting.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it's been And.
Speaker 12: Also all the stuff that Kyle had recorded for the
album has been super super fun to just sink my
teeth into and learn all these parts.
Speaker 9: And then when you do that, when you come into
a project like this, this is something I'm always curious about.
Speaker 12: Do you.
Speaker 9: Do you then try to learn exactly what he did
or do you try to kind of, you know, learn
what he did, but then maybe kind of put your
own Because I've known drummers who will They'll come into
a situation and they'll say I'm going to or someone
in the band will tell them if they're you know,
if they're coming in new to a situation. I'm going
to try to learn everything. I'm going to learn the
fills exactly. I'm going to replicate exactly what the previous
drummer did, you know, and other drummers of course want
to come man and well, probably everybody wants to kind
of put their own stamp on it. But what's been
your approach with that?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think definitely taking the you know, the skeletons
and the muscles of what Kyle had written on the
drums and building on that with my own flavor, of
my own taste. Obviously, every every drummer is unique in
what they play. Yeah, I think I appreciate that Matt
trusted me to be able to fit the bill for
for what was already built. Yeah, and I guess if
you want to really top shop and get it, I
am a left handed drummer that plays on a right
handed drum kit, whereas Kyle Kyle is right handed, so
there's a lot of the fills that I really liked
to sign up. Wanted to play very true to what
he plays, but physical physically, I would have to swap
a lot of my like sticking in the donation around
to make these work. So that's been really really fun
to try and work around lots of these problems as well.
Speaker 9: Okay, okay, how has that been hard to pull off?
Speaker 12: I mean, yeah, it's been hard, but it's been well
worth a challenge, you know, yeah, to play drums and
it learn fun things.
Speaker 9: So yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's very cool. That's something
that wouldn't have even occurred to me, but that's yeah,
that's interesting. Yeah. So now you've already you guys have
already gotten some some success with radio, right, it's you've
gotten some traction over there, some early radio support.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're actually we were on We've we've had amazing
radio in the UK and the US has been pretty
early champions of the music and gym in Scotland. Scotland
has been it has been really good for us. This
is this is but this is only like this is
a third interview in one day, but this is a
interview of all time.
Speaker 9: So okay, it's.
Speaker 14: To be here.
Speaker 10: It's it's been good to get to talk people who
are actually interested in music. Yeah, and have I've actually
listened to what we've done because in the past of
found quite to talk to people who kind of you know,
that kind of wa where they kind of like they've
heard about thirty seconds of it and they're like, yeah,
and I know what we're talking about. I know what
you guys are all about it, and I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 9: Also curious to know about the live situation there, because
it looks like you're you're having a lot of success.
You've been playing some solid out shows, correct.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, so this is something. But as Drew mentioned,
the drummer on the album, Kyle, he stepped aside earlier
last year just just due to the fact we were
talking about going on tour last year and we ended
up pushing the album back because he decided that the
concept of the tour wasn't his cup of tea anymore.
He'd been in the band before who had toured quite extensively,
and he was like, I'm not cut out for us anymore.
So it's been a bit of a shame because he
left at a point where we started actually building more
of a fan base in our own in Glasgow and
so in the areas. So we played a place called
the Cools, I think it was d your third gig, second.
Speaker 12: Gig, second I think, yeah, second.
Speaker 10: Second show, and it was it was it was parked
and it was sort of just came out of nowhere
because we we've been playing, you know, we've been playing
to like ten to fifteen people for so long that
we just kind of think, Okay, it's just going to
be this or like added finium. So we just comed
up and it was like about an hour before those
and they were like, oh, so out and I was like,
what do you mean, it's sold out and I was
like that's it's just there's no tickets left. I'm like
how and it was.
Speaker 12: It was.
Speaker 10: It was crazy for a start because it was a
lot of people we've never seen before, and it just
it's kind of continued from there. We had our probably
a business year for gigs last year, which build or
none of us. It's worked out for the for the
best with the album this year and we've got quite
a lot of shows or the booked for this year,
so it's it's been great.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Oh that's excellent, very very good. You do any
I didn't think to look, do you have any music videos,
because like a song like Portals I think would really
lend itself to something and and and I feel like,
you know, looking at the artwork that you have, like
the visual component is important, is important to the to
the spaan to Bruiser. But do you have you met
any music videos?
Speaker 10: Yeah, we've actually got well, funny, as you mentioned, we're
actually finished recording the music with for Portals yesterday Wood,
so I'll be editing over the next couple of couple
of days or so. We try. We've tried to do
everything in house from the start here because it's it's
quite hard to get any sort of funding or support
in the UK for for music. So any money that
we can save for you know, recording or going on
touring like that, like that the actually important things for
people hearing music, we will cut that. So I've learned
how to do, you know, filming and editing, and that
can a thing to save the cost of that, so
we do. We have We've got a video for Judas,
which was our first proper single, and there is a
visualizer for Man Made Fires, which was a single before
there was Plant to be music with you for that,
but we we sort of run out of time to
do it, and the weather over here is so temperamental
that to try and from outside was it got to
got to what we tried to start filming it and
my hands were on the camera and I actually couldn't
feel I lost all sensation of feeling on my fingers.
I was like, actually, don't know if I'm pressing the
record button here.
Speaker 8: I'm not.
Speaker 10: So the ports music video will be out soon, we do.
We did plan on having a video for every song
on the album.
Speaker 9: Really, as I say, the.
Speaker 10: The connotations of trying to get a budget together and
when we all work full time as well, it's trying
to find the time to get it all done while
also keeping the set as tight as possible and working
on the material as well.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's always a challenge. But so
Jurdis was the previous single.
Speaker 15: So Juwis was.
Speaker 10: It was our first proper single. I came out about
June last year. In the record of the video for
that that is on that's on YouTube, and yeah, so
Porters will will be our second proper music video. We
do have music videos for our first three singles, but
those are only on band campus Now. We weren't really
one hundred percent on this on the sound on those ones,
for those three singles as well.
Speaker 9: Okay, by the way, I think I forgot to mention,
so the name of the album A Field of man
Made Fires? What what I'm really curious about the title?
What what does that mean?
Speaker 10: So I look at as I mentioned earlier on the
my my health issues of the past couple of years,
I went through a period of time where I was
not feeling like I was being the person that I
should have been, and I kind of view to kind
of reflect perspective. I had one of the worst cases
in the UK of psoriasis that they've ever seen. So
I got to the point where I couldn't leave my bed,
and I started to think that every mark that I
add in my skin and every scale that came up
was a punishment for me being basically false to myself.
So the kind of concept of I feel the Marmory
Fars is me just surveying my mistakes and putting the
blame on myself for a lot of things in retrospect.
I mean a lot of things have probably been a
bit too harsh on myself for But I think when
you are in it in such a low position, you
do just kind of start to fixate on the fact
that you could have done things so much better. But
at the same time it's hindsight's a wonderful thing, and
when you look back on things regarding that, I mean,
there's only so much you could have done right. And
I think that I've grown as a person since then.
It is pretty much chronicles like my life from a
bit of ages about nineteen to about twenty four, And
that's pretty much the whole concept of the of the
album is as just dealing with the mistakes that you've
made and either accepting it and moving on or wallowing
on it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I totally get that. I just heard a weird sound.
Are you all still there?
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're still here.
Speaker 9: Okay, So I heard I heard a strange sound. It
must just be in my headphones. No, I can. I
can totally relate to that, you know, And I'm someone
who you know, as you mentioned mental health, like I
struggle with depression. My listeners know this about me, and
I ruminate a lot and almost constantly, and so I can.
I can. I can relate to a lot of what
you're saying. And maybe that's why, you know so many
of these these lyrics really connect with me too, Like
I said, I listened to the whole thing. How is
your How are you now? Matt, Like, how how are
you doing?
Speaker 10: Uh? As we sit here today, I'm as I'm as
close to cured as it possibly can be. I'm on
I'm on medication. It's helped. But I went through a
pretty as a long time. I think if anyone who's listened,
who's been through with the races, I've think I have
been at the lowest point you could possibly be with
the disease and understand that it might seem like there's
no escape from it. But I've been dealing with this
since I was about eighteen and I'm twenty six now,
so it's taken me into the past year to actually
get to the point where I can do normal things.
I can go to work, I can go to the gym,
I can live a normal life again. So and I
suppose it goes it goes hand in hand with depression
as well. And I think I think that's why a
lot of people spoke spoke about lyricism on the album
and it connecting people. And I think it's because when
when you talk with things like like the pandemic and
things like that, I think that made people realize just
how bad the minute possibly could be. And David as
well as the front man, he's you said, battles with depressions,
as I think we all we all have at different points.
I think it's trying to be I think we're now
in a in a time where we can be more open,
honest with ourselves and everyone around those that you know
what we can we can see. You know, I'm not
actually doing great today, and there's things were you make
We're doing great for one piece of thing. But I
think knowing that you've got a group of undy who
have been through the same thing, it makes things so
much easier now.
Speaker 9: It does It does? I know for me because it's
been a it's been a struggle for me since I
was probably a teenager. And you know, in my case,
I mean as far as depression, I got to a
point in my life where it's like it's too exhausting
to try to hide it. I'm just not gonna hide
it anymore, you know. You know, and then you you know,
and then you open up about it and you talk
to people and you realize it's so so common, like
there's no reason for there to be any stigma because
it's something so many of us deal with. So yeah, So,
like I said, I really love the album a series
of man made fires, and we will we'll begin to
wrap up all three of you. I appreciate you. You've
been very generous with your time. Mattrew and Chloe, thank
you so much for joining us. I'm thinking at the
end of our conversation, I will play Judas another great
track from the album, because we did talk about it.
I love I love Portals, great great song, love the
whole album. And where is the best place where should
people go? Especially because again because of the way that
you spell it, we want to make sure people know
where's the best place for people to go online to
keep up with everything that Bruiser is doing as a band,
So we are most.
Speaker 10: Active on Instagram and TikTok for music related things. I
would say that currently, I mean Spotify is as we're
most people see people for things. But we are trying
to push this on band camp as much as possible. Yeah,
I think when we're living in this world now we
were combat and AI and everything else, the best thing
you can posibly do is be as close to your
grush for supporters as possible. So The album will be
up towards end of February on band Camp and it'll
be pay what you want, So if you if you
can't afford it, take it for free, come to a show.
We'd much rather that than people giving us, like, you know,
five quid, ten quid. Here here they are. It's more
important that people hear the songs and hear the stories
we want to tell than giving us any extra money.
Speaker 9: So yeah, absolutely band camp does offer that option. And
I'm a big advocator. You know, a lot of industry
people to listen to the show, and so they've heard
me say this, but I'm a big advocator for band
camp because what a lot of people don't realize, who
is you get a higher quality file from band Camp
then you do, you know, say just streaming it on
YouTube or wherever, you know, wherever people get their music.
So so I'm a I'm a big fan of band Camp.
Their whole their whole model of how they do things
and everything. I think it's it's it's so artist friendly
in an industry where there are not enough artist friendly
tools that you can use. But I'm a huge fan
of band camp. So so that's good to hear, but
well listen, so we'll wrap up. We'll let the three
of you go. I'm going to hit that track Judas,
another great song from the album A Series of Man
Made Fires. But again Matt Drew Chloe from Bruiser, thank
you so much for joining us, and we will definitely
do this again, obviously. I'm sure you're going to be
you know, whenever the next single is ready, or is
if you got another album down the line, or you know,
whatever you got coming up. We would love to have
you back in the future. I'm a big fan, so yeah,
just like you.
Speaker 14: Thank you so much.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, you got it. All right, We'll talk to you soon.
I'm sure take care, see you bye bye. All right,
we're gonna hit this. So this is Judas. This is

Made Fires. The band is Bruiser and check this out.
