That's so cool. That is reach the band has Ever Felt.
The show is Matt Connorton Unleashed.
Speaker 8: We are live.
Speaker 9: We have entered our number two new Marrow Dose on
this Saturday morning. Jenny is here of course as well
at the news table account for and we have joining
us via Skype. Adam Steglitic is here from the band
Ever Felt.
Speaker 7: Hello Adam, Hey, how you guys doing good?
Speaker 8: Good?
Speaker 9: Welcome back? Last time we last time we talked to
was a couple of years ago, I think right, two
or three.
Speaker 7: Years ago, twenty twenty twenty two.
Speaker 9: Wow, yeah, So I love the new I love the
new material from the the EP, the self titled EP,
and Reach is the first single off of that.
Speaker 7: Correct, yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 8: Yeah, really good, really good.
Speaker 9: I love all of these I listened everything that you
sent us and just uh, just great stuff. Has the
sound changed, I feel like it might have changed a
little bit from when we had you on before, kind
of evolved a bit.
Speaker 10: Yes, So we we've had a few different changes. So
we have a new drummer.
Speaker 7: He joined the band about nine months ago. He's on
this EP. And we now have a new bass player too,
but he's the bass player that we had before is
on the EP.
Speaker 10: But we have a new bass player now that's joined
and they're gonna play our first show with us October
fifth and Evansville, Indiana.
Speaker 7: But but yes.
Speaker 10: Yes, definitely, it evolved in you know, and and playing it,
playing it live, and then and then working on it
and then having Corey being able to do two different
tracks on it. Actually we were able to go to
Loud and Clear Studios in Kentucky and do it with
a real producer, Shelby, and he did a great job
and we you know, we were able to do those
five songs in two days. So we were really happy
with you know, him being able to you know it
really we were ready, you know, we were really ready to.
Speaker 7: Go and record them.
Speaker 10: But at the same time, you know, the atmosphere was
just so nice and comfortable for us when we it
was like being it was like being at our practice
studio where we went to records.
Speaker 7: So it was nice.
Speaker 8: Oh that's fantastic.
Speaker 9: I'm curious to hear more about that because obviously, because
you guys are Chicago based.
Speaker 8: Correct.
Speaker 7: Oh no, we're actually southern Illinois.
Speaker 8: Oh, southern Illinois.
Speaker 9: Oh so you're not that far from Okay, I was
thinking more Chicago area. So so actually, so to go
from there to Kentucky, it's not that that much of
a haul, No, it's.
Speaker 10: It was to where we recorded. It was only a
little over an hour from where I live.
Speaker 9: Oh okay, okay, Yeah, So I'm curious to know more
about that, your experience at that studio and the producer
that you worked with, because you've got so many options now,
as you know, in terms of recording, there's there's a
million recording studios, you can record at home, there's so
many different ways you can do it. So but it
sounds like you really enjoyed your experience recording at that particular.
Speaker 7: Studio most definitely.
Speaker 10: I mean, honestly, we were able to stay there also,
and so you know, it was a two day experience
where the whole band we stayed there, we recorded, we
were able to do the scratch tracks all live together,
and then we were able to go back in on
the you know, separately and being able to get I mean, honestly,
we were only going to do a four song EP
to begin with, but it went so well and everything
was like, I mean happening like magic magically. I would
have to have to say it that way, because honestly,
on the ball, I did two vocal tracks for each
song and we literally I didn't have to go back
and redo anything.
Speaker 7: We were really ready.
Speaker 10: You know, we practiced, we were ready for the studio times.
So you know, when you pay for the time, you
know you want to make sure that you capitalize on it.
So when we got done with the first four we
still had enough time where Shelby was like, Hey, if
you guys want to do a fifth song, you gotta
to let me know now we need to get it done,
and so we did. We chose to do River, which
was the fifth song on the album, which is that
ended up being an eight minute, twenty three second song.
Speaker 9: Yeah no, that's great, I want to do another song,
So you.
Speaker 8: Had to seize the opportunity.
Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely, West definitely. You know, River was the song
that started ever Felt.
Speaker 7: Really. You know, ever Felt began with.
Speaker 10: My best friend Charles Lingerfeld, who passed away in twenty
twenty one. We had a band called Angerfelt before then,
and his last name is linger Felt. So I wanted
him to be forever Felt in the music that we do,
and River was his original melody, so you know, that
song was really important to us as a band. So yeah,
so it was really cool to put him on the
first EP, put his song on there, So that makes sense.
Speaker 8: I mean how prepared?
Speaker 9: I mean, did you guys in order to be really
prepared for this experience, because when you're going into a
studio and it's it's, like you said, you're paying for
the time, so you want to be efficient, but of
course you also want to get the best possible performance
that you can. So were you guys like rehearsing like
five nights a week leading up to when you went
to the studio.
Speaker 8: I mean that must have been intense. I mean, what
was that like?
Speaker 7: We played. Since the last time I talked to you,
we've played eighteen shows.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, okay, well.
Speaker 7: You know, also playing those you know, playing those songs.
Speaker 10: But also we practiced, We kept our normal practices, but
we practiced, you know, every Sunday.
Speaker 7: We practice every Sunday, So yeah, we practice every Sunday.
Speaker 10: Plus we had a couple of shows right before, so
really it was more of just having two really you know,
six hour practices, really honing in on what we wanted
to do and being ready to go there. And when
I do the vocals, I mean when I practice vocals,
I practice at home too. You can't being if you
really want to do this and be good at it,
you can't just practice at practice, and so you also
have to practice at home. And so I even like
when I do the vocals, I practiced my vocals all
compelled without even the music at home.
Speaker 7: So you know, we really that's how well I know
the songs, you know what I mean?
Speaker 10: So when you really so when we had that opportunity
and we had no idea that go there, that Shelby
was going to be such a cool dude and and
really made us feel very at home, like it felt
like a home situation.
Speaker 7: I don't know how it's to describe that, but.
Speaker 10: It really made us feel like we could just be
ourselves and so that allowed us to just really let
go and just let the music do what it needed
to do to you know, take us to that place
to channel what you hear on the EP.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that makes a huge difference.
Speaker 9: I mean, I know from my own experience with recording,
there's nothing worse than if you go to a studio
and you've got a limited amount of time and you're
dealing with an engineer or a producer who's maybe a
little grumpy or maybe they just you know, they're just
not the friendliest because to them it's just a job.
But it sounds like with Shelby like he really he
really cares about what he's doing and goes out of
his way to make it feel comfortable.
Speaker 7: So that's great, he really did.
Speaker 8: Man, what's the name of that studio again?
Speaker 7: That's Loud and Clear Studios in Konduka, Kentucky.
Speaker 9: Okay, And how did you find how did you find
that studio? Like what went into because obviously you had
no way of knowing for sure that it was going
to be such a great experience. What went into choosing
that studio, because again, you have so many different options
these days.
Speaker 10: Well, I actually was we were trying to find a
studio that was you know, budget friendly, but also that
had had a good you know, track record with our
kind of music in a sense. Yeah, but also we
were looking for something that was within a two hour
drive of us without having that way, you know, we
didn't know if we'd find a place we could stay at,
but we did, but we didn't know that, you know,
so in case we did have to travel back home
for whatever reason, we didn't know how long it would take.
Speaker 7: We didn't know a lot of those things. So yeah,
so we.
Speaker 10: Were definitely wanting to find something within driving distance, but
also somebody who you know. And then when I got
a hold of him, his rates were great and he
was you know, just like you could just tell his
energy was you know, he cared about what he does.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and there is that.
Speaker 10: It's his name involved what he cares about the music itself,
and that matters.
Speaker 9: Well it shows too in the final product. Did he
do the master in as well or did you have
to take that somewhere else?
Speaker 10: No, we wanted him to do the mixing new mastering,
since he recorded it, you know, he felt that be
the best fluid way to do it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, that's excellent, excellent.
Speaker 9: Now the uh, do you have more music that you're
that you're working on, because I assume you have additional
songs that you play live, right.
Speaker 7: Oh, definitely, yes, sir. So we actually have those five.
We actually have another thirteen songs.
Speaker 8: Oh okay.
Speaker 7: Yeah, But what.
Speaker 10: The plan is is, I don't know what time next
year yet, but next year we're gonna be working with
Shelle Began and we're gonna be doing our first album.
And so what's gonna happen is we're gonna take the
five songs from the EP remaster and with the new
bass player a couple other things we want to remaster
on them on those songs, and then an additional seven songs.
So it's gonna be twelve song album. Oh, ever, gonna
be released in next year. So we just wanted to
get the EP out there with the new drummer and
really have something that we can you know, have let
the people here while we're working on shows behind the scenes,
and then also you know, an album too.
Speaker 7: So and then November tenth.
Speaker 10: We're actually working with Rudwood Creative to create our first
official music video for Reach.
Speaker 8: Oh excellent.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we're really excited about that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, very good.
Speaker 9: Do you already have the concept and everything? Are you
still in the process of figuring that out?
Speaker 7: We have some of the concept.
Speaker 10: You know, Reach is really about, you know, we've all
been found broken alone in that hole, reaching out and
in that desolate place you find that that it's in
that place where you realize that in order to truly
reach out, you must first reach in and then so
it's it's philosophical, but you know, the idea is like
almost like the concept and theme of the music video
is almost like the light you see when you're.
Speaker 7: Reaching through the dirt of a buried grave.
Speaker 10: You know, the first light you see is the very
light at the end of the music video that brings
us all together as a band, or that kind of concept.
So we're going with that, but it's also going to
be like in the Woods and the dude.
Speaker 7: The dude Trey Rudd from Rodwood Creative.
Speaker 10: He actually is somebody that we found through Shelby and
he is He's really good.
Speaker 7: He's also based in Kentucky.
Speaker 10: But we've seen some of the work and the videos
he's done, so yeah, it's going to be like a
six hour video shoot that we're going to do on
November tenth.
Speaker 8: Oh fantastic. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I feel like it's so important too to do to
do music videos, which to some people, to people who
don't know, that might sound odd in the year twenty
twenty four, because I forget who. We were talking about
this recently on the show, but we're talking with someone
about how some people have a misperception that there are
no music videos anymore, because you know, MTV doesn't play
music videos anymore, VH one or anything. But actually, because
of YouTube, I would say music videos are more important
than they've ever been because it's something that you can
really use to promote your music, to share out on
social media and all of that.
Speaker 10: Because you know, attention span is so because of the
advent of social media and phones, attention spans like next
to nothing, and so because of that, you know, you
really want to have those captivating images that get people
to keep listening. And so that's the reason for the videos,
you know, Yeah, you know, and and honestly I see why,
I mean even myself, I mean I'm sure you understand too,
you know, like it's easy to get there's so much
music out there, you really want to try to find
a way to create your own path. Yeah, and without
trying to do that, you can't really try to do that,
and you and up.
Speaker 7: You just have to let it, you know.
Speaker 10: Like for instance, with our music, with Corey and Jacob
and I writing this music, I have to say, like
it kind of in a sense happens to us because
we allow the music to create and write the songs
and so, you know, and then we just we allow
whatever whatever happens to us as we're working on it
to you know, we record that, we come back, we
whittle that down. So it's really just something that kind
of writes itself through us as long as we're allowing
ourselves to be the channel for the music instead of
trying to control it too much.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I like that. I like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Something we talk a lot on the show about as
well with with our guests, as the process of of
of creating and writing. And I think the you know,
from my own experience, I think the best is when
you're not trying to force it to You're not saying Okay,
we're going to try to make this sound like this,
or we want to sound like that, but rather just
kind of letting it be organic and letting it kind
of as you describe it, which I think is great,
letting it kind of come through you. Yes, exactly, Yeah, yeah,
so that's that's great at this point, are you all?
Speaker 8: It sounds like the whole band rights together. Is that
is that accurate? Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yes, yeah, we we write together a lot of times,
like with with the five songs in the EP for instance.
You know, the original melody of River obviously came from Charlie,
my buddy that passed, but yeah, we turned it into
something completely you know, its own, forever felt, you know,
but the original melody came from him, but Jacob really
worked on that. And Jacob brought our rhythm guitarist. He
brought into the fire, the original Rift for into the fire.
Speaker 7: And gave it away.
Speaker 10: He brought those songs to the table, and then the
other ones, Reach and Lie and and River were all
that we kind of came up together. Corey brought Reached,
you know, the original Reach, but a lot of the
newer stuff that you're going to be hearing on the
album is stuff that Corey brought to the table.
Speaker 7: He would he has this terrible, crazy habit of hell.
He'll write a rift that he loves.
Speaker 10: He'll be at home and he tries to call me
and play it for me over the phone. But yeah,
I can't ever understand hardly any of it. But by
the time we get to the studio, I mean, by
the time we get to the studio to work on it,
you know, it's just and.
Speaker 7: It's it's really kind of crazy, dude.
Speaker 10: Sometimes Corey will he'll write a rift for a song
and he'll just kind of just tell me the words
that come to him when he wrote it, like the
concept and the theme for instance, and I'll just go
with that, and so it just, you know, it just depends.
But yeah, a lot of our creative process is really
bringing whatever rift or whatever we're doing to the table
and freestyle creating right then and there. And while we're
freestyle and we record what we're doing, and I'll try
all these various different vocal patterns and whatever the music
naturally makes me talk about. Yeah, when I'm singing is
what the song ends up being about. So I want
to I literally literally want to allow the music whatever
the music makes me do to allow it to take
it to the direction of the song. So that way
it's all fluid, you know, and right right, and.
Speaker 7: And really it is. It is kind of a channel.
Speaker 10: And when you really allow yourself to be captured by
the music, can really allow it to do it through you.
Speaker 7: What what I mean?
Speaker 10: Sometimes when that happens, I have a hard time reproducing
it really, Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. Like
you go back and you're like, man that you you
listen to the recording, You're like, how did we do?
Speaker 7: How did we actually do that? Like, and then you
have to.
Speaker 10: Try to go back and remember, you know, sometimes when
you really get lost in it, you.
Speaker 7: Know, right right, yeah, And that's that's the beauty of it,
you know, that's really the beauty of music.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and then the challenge of trying to find your
way back to that magic moment.
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Uh
do is there a theme? Do these songs have.
Speaker 9: A through line on this EP? Because listening to them,
I kind of feel like I couldn't quite detect what
it might be. And maybe there isn't one. Maybe I
just perceive there possibly being a theme because these songs
fit together so well. But I'm curious, is there an
overlying theme to the EP?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 10: Yeah, so every song on the EP, from Reached End
of the Fire to River to Gave It Away, they
all have to do with the various themes that we
all face as a human race, like they all have
to do with like for instance, Gave It Away is
about you know, being willing to sacrifice even when no
one else sees it for the thing you love, you know,
into the fires, being willing to brave the fires of
life to burn away the parts of you that aren't you,
rivers about life. So for me, it's really all about
these philosophical themes that we all think about and deal
with on the daily basis.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Really, the that's really the overlying theme of everything that
we do.
Speaker 7: Has ever felt really Yeah.
Speaker 10: As a writer, I published my first book in two
thousand and four called Wins of Perception Scratching the Surface.
And even that was a book of poetry where I
really wanted to take my style of writing and and
address the various themes that we face as humans and
so in a philosophical way.
Speaker 7: And so that's really really what it is is.
Speaker 10: About getting in tune with oneself and becoming who you're
really supposed to be.
Speaker 7: That's that's really the the ideas.
Speaker 10: You know, you know, even even when you're talking about
and reach, when you talk about the chorus bleeding out
to keep the mind new, what I'm talking about there
literally is I'm saying, you know, everything is about the mind.
You know, everything's about people get caught in their heads,
and they get caught in the mental of it, and
they forget the soul. And so your souls bleeding out
just to concentrate on the mind and so and to
concentrate on and and the things we worry about in
life where we get caught in our head, you know, right,
And so that's really the the overlying theme is like
learning how to find oneself. Like the song Stranger is
going to be on the album, it's really that that song,
you know, also is about, you know, realizing that the
stranger that is within you is the real you.
Speaker 7: And so that's the.
Speaker 10: Idea, is to shed all the chains and the preconceived
notions that you were that were ingrained in you when
you were younger and really become the you that you
really are and what you're meant to be here, you know,
And so that's the over line theme.
Speaker 8: No, I like it.
Speaker 9: You know what's cool about all this too, is there's
a very positive message to it all. I mean, you
can really get a lot out of it. But it's
interesting because the sound of the band sort of the
sort of psychedelic but metal. I don't know exactly how
you would describe it. You guys are unique, I think,
but but you almost if you didn't know, and if
you didn't hear the lyrics, if you just heard the music,
you almost might think it was kind of a dark,
brooding thing. But there's some really positive messaging in the
lyrics and what these songs are about. And I think
that's really cool.
Speaker 10: Yeah, because we want to you know, and thank you
very much for saying that, we want to relate to
the dark tunnel with our listeners that they are also
in or they've been in before. But we also talk
about the door we found. We also want to talk
about the light that we found within the darkness, because
the candle flame flicker is never so bright as in
a dark room. So for that reason alone, that's the
reason why we bring that dark brooding sound, because you know,
in order to truly you know, and counter true light,
you have to be willing to brave the darkness.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I like it.
Speaker 9: I'm someone I struggle with depression, and when I listen
to that song, when I listen to Reach, you know,
that's I kind of it clicked with me, I think
for that reason, and so I was able to take
something from that that that's uh, you know that I
really like I really like that song a lot.
Speaker 7: Thank you, man, I really appreciate that, Matt.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely. What's your stage show like? Do
you guys have any kind of because you know, with
your sound, it would lend itself to something kind of
dramatic or maybe not maybe maybe just do kind of
a you know, you just you just play. I don't know,
I mean, do you have any kind of any kind
of a stage show or or do you just I.
Speaker 7: Mean, I will say this. We we definitely put on
a show.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, we perform.
Speaker 7: I'm all over the stage.
Speaker 10: But uh, but we are just now working on the fog,
the lights, the we're actually working on with my new
bass player. We're working on an introduction and entire introduction
to our show before we come on stage. So we're
getting all of the extras together now for this next
coming year. But honestly, uh, I don't know if you've
seen any of our live videos.
Speaker 7: I think you have. We we get down.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I've seen seen a lot of bands stand up
there and just play. That's not what we do right, right,
And and I pride myself on really being able to
allow myself to truly become the channel on stage for
the music and honestly hit every note, but get down
and and and and that takes practice. Like when I
play on I practice at practice. It's like I'm performing.
And I'll tell you what last last Sunday, because we
just had got this new bass player, so it's been
about a month now and he's gonna play his first
show with us on October fifth. But last Sunday was
our first like six hour practice where we went through
the set twice.
Speaker 7: And and uh, I.
Speaker 10: Gotta tell you, I was hurting the next day, man,
because we hadn't had like a you know, we had
like a kind of a break there for like three
weeks where we didn't have a show or anything, and
we didn't practice because of other family stuff and all that.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 10: Yeah, But but yeah, yeah, so, uh, really excited to
get the new bass player because not only is he
bringing some awesome thump into the bass on some of
our songs that we didn't have before, but also he's
like a whiz.
Speaker 7: When it comes to like light and fog and all
this other stuff.
Speaker 8: So good.
Speaker 7: So yeah, so I'm super excited about that.
Speaker 10: He's gonna we're working on a projector screen behind us
instead of a banner I'm trying to get.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I can imagine that with your music. I can
imagine a projector's screen.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we want to we want to project some images
and yeah, and uh and really take people on that
give him an experience, you know.
Speaker 11: Mm hmmm hmm.
Speaker 9: Do you have to uh, do you do anything to
take care of your voice, like lemon or anything, because
you you obviously with what you're doing, you know, it's
pretty intense.
Speaker 8: Your vocals are pretty intense.
Speaker 7: Thanks man.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so honestly, I don't smoke. Another one, Number two
is I do breath work and chakra work every day.
Speaker 8: Oh interesting, okay, yes.
Speaker 10: And so that's been something I found that's totally changed
the whole game for me when it comes to being
ready for the stage and being able to.
Speaker 7: Hit everything and do what I do.
Speaker 10: And also a workout regiment is important twice a week.
But on stage, I drink let me tell you what
it is on stage. I don't drink alcohol. I do
particulars in marijuana.
Speaker 7: But do you drink alcohol? Really? So I don't have
alcohol on stage, So I drink what does she do
with my heart chakra tea?
Speaker 8: But yeah, I've heard of that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I drink that on stage.
Speaker 10: And then I also always have a blue gator I
don't know what it is about the blue the blue Gatorade,
but it's really soothing if you need something to drink
on stage other than water.
Speaker 7: Yeah, anyone's listening to this. That's a singer. Oh, here
it is. I don't know why you put in here.
I want to here.
Speaker 6: This is.
Speaker 10: It's the organic throat code is what it's called. It
is made of slippery elm. Yeah, okay, slippery elm tee.
So if if you do vocals where you go back
and forth between the heavies and the lights, this is
really nice to have on stage.
Speaker 8: Oh, very cool, very cool.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean we have a lot of musicians who
listen to the show, so that might be very helpful
to someone. Yeah, that really caught my attention to what
you were saying about the breath work, because so I
don't know if you know anything about my background, but
I'm also a hypnotherapist and I use a lot of
breath work in my sessions with my clients, so I
know the value of that and and all kinds of
applications for it.
Speaker 7: It's mind blowing.
Speaker 8: Yep, yep.
Speaker 10: People that are if you're if you're an artist in
anybody anyway, it don't matter what walk of life you're in,
definitely look into the chakra and breath work is very important,
the chanting, all of that I do.
Speaker 7: I do it every day.
Speaker 10: I have a forty minute drive to work in the morning,
so I do it every day on my way to work.
Speaker 7: The breath work. They don't do much meditation then, but
be a little dangerous, right. But I also there's also
like this what's it called.
Speaker 10: Ancient Meditations on Facebook where they have like this the
sounds the different frequencies that you can use to listen
to while you're doing it. Oh yeah, so that's also
a cool thing to utilize if anybody's also listening.
Speaker 7: But yeah, being a hypno therapist.
Speaker 10: You said you're a certified hypno therapist, right, Yes, that's
phenomenal man.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've been doing it about twenty years now, and
you know, I help people to quit smoking. That's like
the number one thing. But you know it's got a
lot of a lot of different applications. But yeah, and
you know, we do a lot of breath work, and
when I'm taking the client into a state of hypnosis,
we do a lot of a lot of breathing. And
sometimes people kind of chuckle when I say now I
want you to breath and they're like, well, I already am,
or i'd be dead. And it's like no, no, no,
I want.
Speaker 8: You to really breathe. Yeah, and then we get in
all of that and.
Speaker 10: The four seven eight breathing technique, you know, the nose,
the in the mouth of all of that. When they
really do it that you just I've done it with
my wife and a few other friends and they're like wow.
They you could just see the look of surprise in
their face when you can just tell when you really
control your breathing, it takes you to another place.
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it honestly helps you get to center and so yeah,
I tell everyone.
Speaker 8: It's kind of like hitting the reset button.
Speaker 9: You know, if you're having a difficult day, a challenging day,
you need to de stress for a minute and you
need to just kind of reset everything, you know, just
just stop and do the breathing and it and it
just kind of, like I said, it just kind of
helps you reset.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 9: It's like like pushing the button on the video game
when you want to start over.
Speaker 8: You know, That's how I think of it.
Speaker 7: It truly does.
Speaker 9: Oh, by the way, too, something else you mentioned that
that also really caught my attention. So you're you're a
published author.
Speaker 10: Yes, sir, Yeah, I published my first book, well my
only book in two thousand and four, is called Wins
of Perception, Scratching the Surface. You can get it at
Amazon dot com. But I also have a Facebook page
called Stirring to Wake. I'm always working with the Everfelt page,
so I don't really post a lot of the writings,
but yeah, yeah, a lot of the writing is on there.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I've been writing ever since I can remember.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, oh interesting, okay, very cool. Do you have any
plans to do another book?
Speaker 10: I do if I am not playing stadiums or arenas
by the time I'm thirty five, I'm just gonna write
the novel I've been thinking.
Speaker 7: I've been where I started a novel too, But it's like.
Speaker 10: This whole you know, it's this experimental fantasy obviously, but
but you know, yeah, I've told you know, my named Corey,
my my league guitars Corey Robinson. You hear how amazing
he is, Yeah, in person to the most humble badass.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 10: I also have this awesome Japanese piece. He just did
this tattoo work he just did on my arm. That's
so sick man.
Speaker 8: Oh wow.
Speaker 10: But yeah, he's super talented and it's super cool dude.
But oh, I was minding his goal. You know, he's
he just turned forty four. I'm forty two in October.
Second here in a couple of days, we're hoping to
be playing arenas and stadiums by the time.
Speaker 7: We're fifty with this music.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, not we might just you know, well look
at others, but we'll see.
Speaker 8: The universe will give you that schedule.
Speaker 7: You know. I love that you spoke that into existence.
Speaker 9: Just now, my friends, there you go, there you go, Well, Adam,
I really appreciate talking with you this morning. I was
thinking we might end the segment with The Lie, which
is another great another great track, great track from the
EP man. Anything we should know about this before we
play it.
Speaker 10: The Lie is, you know, a song that is all
about out everything we're hearing about coming through our screens,
our TVs, our phones, even the lies that we tell ourselves.
But mostly it's about the Global League keeping the foot
on the man, you know, hiding under the lies they
you know, they tell. The truth begins to fade and
and I think we can all relate to that, and
I'm sure we're all tired of the lies.
Speaker 8: So all right, so we're gonna end with that track.
Speaker 9: But before we go, Adam, please let everyone know where's

A big White House, A big white house. Yes. Actually,

real stories to the table about what people in our
everyday lives are facing.

because healthcare is not a partisan issue.

paintings is probably hanging on their walls and celebration of
their second year anniversary. And right now, if you gotta

Speaker 11: As you know, I fell in love with Paper Jam
magazine as soon as I found them, Yes, and I
love the people that put it together and all of
the spotlights they bring to our great independent artists. I mean,
it's they really have got something very special there. If
you haven't checked out Paper Jam magazine, you really should.
So I'm excited to say that Matt Content Unleashed is
now partnering with paper Jam and we will be proud
to feature their artists that they are highlighting in their magazine.
And that's going to start next month. I believe it
is sort the I believe so, Pil and I will
forgive me for being bad on my my brain, my
brain fog is kicking in here. Oh on having the
correct date on it. But look forward to working with them.
And actually you've got some information from paper Jam to

they're doing and it's great for the scene, you.
Speaker 11: Know, one hundred percent. We really do have a vibrant
community in our state and actually in our region in
New England in general. But it seems to me like
it's there's more growth, there's more ways for people to
get out there and be heard and be seen, and
paper Jam is definitely a huge welcome to that process,
along with the National and Midnight Creative Collective. Yes, and
they've got an important event coming up Spelfy.

can't be sure but from the video, but it looks.
Speaker 8: Like it might be.
Speaker 11: But a huge lineup of bands that aren't going to

be worth doing.

great college station there w U m l oh, Yeah,
