Speaker 12: President on account for and right now we have Who
I Am.
Speaker 25: And Thrax, who have both been on the show before
multiple times actually, but in but in different, uh different configurations.
This is the first time the two of you have
been on together and you've got this new collaboration hot Wax,
the brand new EP.
Speaker 12: Congratulations on that, thanks so.
Speaker 25: Much, absolutely absolutely what uh what brought this about that
the two of you working together?
Speaker 12: I saw you play live. I think it was at
Oh was that Jewel spelfy Fest Spelfie Fest?
Speaker 7: Correct?
Speaker 25: And uh that was And that was the first time
I knew that the two of you were working together
when I when I saw you on stage together.
Speaker 5: And what was that?
Speaker 12: Was that the beginning of this or they're working to
the other prior to that?
Speaker 2: It was about our fifth fifth I think that was
our fifth Right, we're around.
Speaker 7: There, I mean at least from this side of the fence.
That first of all, good morning you guys, Yes, you guys,
Good morning John j Matt Well, thank you, good morning.
Speaker 12: Good morning.
Speaker 26: Sunshine.
Speaker 7: I think this this was like a spur of the
moment thing because I I you can probably correct me
if I'm wrong, but uh, we were kind of like
morphing the idea of like me filling in for a
couple of like live shows. Yeah, last year, as let's
see what would like what would happen? Yeah, and at
least from your side of the fence. I think that's
how it started. Where what was it? The first one
at the Jungle.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it was the Jungle. I mean I was,
you know, I was playing solo shows and for.
Speaker 7: A long time for yeah, I've been oh yeah, so.
Speaker 2: He's twenty eighteen. It's twenty seventeen.
Speaker 12: I've been Yeah, you even came here and playing, Yeah,
did your whole great time.
Speaker 2: I'm here to play in solo set. And of course
I have keyboards, so I have, you know, instruments that
I backtrack. And so I saw that tracks was available
and as far as looking to do stuff, and I was,
I'm looking to, you know, bolster up my sound live
and make it, you know, make it come out pop more.
And so I reached out to Thracks and stead do
you interested and playing live with me? And yeah, It's
like sure, why not? And so I sent them some
some tracks and stuff, demo stuff to to go over,
and you know, I kind of already was in my
groove and so you know, thankfully Thrax leaned into it
and really really picked up the songs like incredibly fast.
And then we like I like to say, uh, you know,
we're really born live because that's the first thing we
ever did was play live together before we even practice.
Speaker 25: When you reached out to him, did you did were
you confident that he was going to say yes? Or
because obviously he's in Because I think there's that even
a federal law now that every drummer has to be
in like fifteen different bands at the same time.
Speaker 12: There is, Yeah, there is currently.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to get around that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2: I knew, of course, I met tracks and been on
bills with tracks and several different variations cosmic thank d
H and so you know, I knew thracks. But you know,
it was just the time when he did. He didn't
have five.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was in a wole period. Oh, I was
only in like two projects.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was so you know, I'm saying so like, I'm
an opportunist, I'm a DIY queen.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So that's how I roll.
Speaker 2: And I'm always looking around and saying, you know, and
I want to you know, I've tried to play with
other artists and I've you know, I have played with
other artists in different situations, and it really never has
totally worked out.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and so.
Speaker 2: I was hoping, you know, that it would with tracks
because I know he's a great drummer and and so
so we we gave it a go, which it's just like, yeah,
give it go, see what happens, you know, do some
live stuff, have fun.
Speaker 7: And then that's where our coin our coin motto of uh,
just like we rehearsed because we didn't really have time
to get together the first time to rehearse anything really,
so like I had to just listen to some of
the songs that she had on U for a list,
and we we we met up at the well, we
met up at the gig and then tried it out.
Speaker 12: Okay, yeah, Like.
Speaker 2: The first musical thing we ever did was a live
show at Jungle.
Speaker 12: Oh wow, no kidding. Where where's that? By the way, Jungle.
Speaker 2: Jungle, that's the Summerville Summerville down in Boston music little
music community stage. It's actually one of the one of
the best under two hundred people places that you can
actually you know, get a live stage, a real stage experience. Okay,
that's my legit feeling about the Jungle. They got a
great sound in one of the best stages for under
two hundred people.
Speaker 12: No kidding, Okay, I didn't even know about it, but
that that's good to know. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're always you know, they're always putting people. I've
I've played there several times. We played there about three twice.
I think the last time we played was with What
a Trash Robot?
Speaker 7: And yeah, what was the that that that older gentleman's band?
Speaker 2: Shoot, I can't remember. It was, uh oh Trees Fantastic Trees.
Speaker 7: Fantastic Trees was so good.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 27: So like.
Speaker 7: It's definitely eclectic out there for for the what indie scene,
indie rock scene.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and I feel like when we played, like
after people would come up to us and like give
us positive feedback. Yeah, you know, never got like just
the courtesy feedback. It was always how long have you
guys been playing together?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Cool?
Speaker 7: The first time someone actually show and said that, like,
like how long have you guys been playing? It sounds
like years.
Speaker 12: Oh that's cool.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we ran with it great. Yeah, and and and
then I think like, what after our third third show,
that's when we had our practice. Yeah wow, actually.
Speaker 2: Right, and then we actually practice, we're like, yeah, we
still do it good practice too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it takes you know, a lot
of effort. I know on traxis part because you know,
some of my songs have already kind of predetermined, you know,
how it goes right, and so you know, it takes
a special kind of drummer that can do that and
then add their own you know, power to it. Yeah,
and that's I feel like that's what came across, has
come across in our album Hot Wax. Is you know,
the the solidity, the solidness of the drumming elevates the
songs and the music and everything I do. And it's
like it makes me thrilled. I've listened to these songs
on Hot Wax a thousand times. Yeah, and I'm listening
for to critique myself, and I'm just like enjoying it
every time.
Speaker 25: Is it just easier too, from a from a technical
standpoint when playing live? Is just easier to have a
live drummer? Uh no, no, No, that would be really
really no.
Speaker 2: It would be easier just to have my keyboards just
follow and do whatever the heck I want him to do. Yeah,
And that was easier, just like I could stop in
the middle of my song and as long as I
held the right notes, the right chords, you know it
would hold for me. Okay, Well, I mean with humans.
You know you can't put humans in a holding pattern, right,
you know? A song is a song, Yeah, and it
moves along. It doesn't stop like because you know you
feel like it to stop, right unless you do. But otherwise,
you know, you got to keep moving. And there's a
there's a rhythm and a syncopation and a synergy that
comes along with playing with a live person versus yeah,
say my my drum track okay, yeah, okay, yeah, And
so it just takes it takes more effort to do that,
to combine the two, but it's more rewarding two to
have it, you know, come out or you know, people
are like, oh my goodness, especially right, no doubt. You
know we can tell things that people can't tell.
Speaker 25: Ye now, tracks for you? Is this the most unique
thing you've done in terms of music? You've done a
lot of different different projects, But I mean, is this
because because who I am? I mean, this is you know,
it's unique. I can't think of anybody who sounds quite
like who I am?
Speaker 7: Correct? And I think yes, because like, uh, I'm usually
predominantly punk or rock metal something, so this is like
a a first chance into like electro pop or something
of dance music esque, like a discotheche type of uh genre.
And like Lacy has a lot of different areas that
it's not even just dance music. There's like message is
and there's you know, uplifting stuff, and there's everything that
you ever need or want out of like a dance
song or a pop song. Like even even the song
that reminds me of the Gorillas, it's not on the
on the EP, but like your other song, your regular song,
it reminds me of like something that that the Gorillas
would do back in the day and like and that's
like something that's not categorizable. That like the thing the
uniqueness of at least coming out with something that's not
traditional is kind of things that I gravitate towards no
matter what, whether it be pop or rock or whatever.
It is, Like I don't fall into traditional stuff, Like
I like alternative stuff. I like anything that's a little
bit risque or a little bit rough around the edge
is case in points, yes, but also case and point
shout out. Shout out to Frankie Frankie Frankie from the
Melted Chapsticks, who we are performing with later at a
photys Taburn in nash But I like the way that
he goes about music as well, that you know, he
doesn't hold it to a traditional standard of like I'm
going to play punk music and this is what it is,
like it's its own feel, the own its own vibe. Yeah,
the same thing, same thing for your for your music,
lacing that like you have a very confident, confident with
what you're creating. And I and I, I like a
person that's willing to go outside of the box, willing
to go outside of the the thinking pattern and like,
oh what if I just do this? Or what would
happen if I do this? So is it the most
unique thing that I've done? More more than likely? Yes,
as a as a broad statement, but I like this
type of uniqueness that makes sense.
Speaker 25: Totally does Yeah, absolutely well. By the way, on Facebook,
Andrea Dumont is in the Facebook laf chat and says
good morning family, Andre Andre of course from Dad Harrison,
whom you're in a band with. So why the name Tracks?
Why use a different name for this? And where does
the name Tracks come from? I'm super curious about that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, of course I know. This is this is what
happens when you have friends in the industry and they
start asking you actual questions. Yeah, so my name is
Axel obviously, Uh everybody knows at least more more often
than not, more people know me as Axel. Yeah, even
before then if the real people know me as Smitty
Smitty Werbin Yieggerman Jensen.
Speaker 12: That's a long name.
Speaker 7: Is that Swedish or what he was number one? Wow,
it's a SpongeBob reference. Okay, but like only only only
true o G. Manchester people would know that. But yeah,
my name is Axel, and that's just how I was
given that name. Yeah, but like I don't like it
how it's associated with Rose every bleep in time, every time.
Speaker 12: And you don't even spell it the same way.
Speaker 7: No, of course not. But I couldn't be associated with
with actual Foley or anybody else. It has to be.
Speaker 2: But ever since I was a kid, ever since I
was a kid, it's what's your last name?
Speaker 7: Rose? Like, I can't tell you how many times I've
I've heard that, even to this day, even to this day,
it's a thing. I'm kind of sick of it.
Speaker 12: I don't blame you.
Speaker 7: So that being said, like I've been trying to more
or less come up with a different moniker to get
away from that. But that wasn't cheesy something that like
at least it was mine that I can like step
away from from that. So I guess, like worldwide, I
guess premiering this that that's my middle name. Oh, Thrax
is my actual middle name, no kidding, So it was
given that wow, And I mean you can you can
summarize your own opinions about it, but like it literally
came came from the band Anthrax. Yeah, that was my
my mom's favorite band, or no, that was my my
biological father's favorite band. And Axel Rose because my mom
loved guns and roses appetite for destruction. I swear to
you that with with with those two, like I've been
using axel for so long. Yeah, I'm like, Axel is
a cool name. I guess, I guess.
Speaker 12: And you don't spell it the same way as Axel
rose even.
Speaker 7: Right, it's a X I L E S. Yeah, but
either which way you say axel phonetically?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah. When I first I think the first time I
met you, when I think you came on my show, yeah,
and you said you know, I was asking like, okay,
who is everybody? And you said, I'm gonna go with you.
You're like, okay, I'm gonna get because you know, not
everybody is ready to be asked that question, like okay,
who who's your what's your name? Ask a creative what
the name is, and they're like, hold on, let me
think about this. And so you said I'm going with
Tracks and I was like tracks.
Speaker 7: That is a great name.
Speaker 2: That's such a great name. And so it stuck with me,
you know. I mean we didn't get together like a
couple of years later, a few years later, but yeah,
but always stuck with me. So I was like, when
when we started playing, I was like, you know, people
want to have us on a bill and stuff. I
was like, okay, well, well what are we?
Speaker 12: What are we?
Speaker 2: You know who I am? But but I'm not just
who I am. Now, there's that's that's not that's not
really it's not just who I am. Yeah, that's how
I was like, well who I am in Thrax? I mean, yeah,
it's got a nice bring through it.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it does, it really does.
Speaker 7: And I like how you came up with the name
for the Yeah, the album itself. Oh yeah, wax because
of how who I am Thrax you put them together,
it's wax.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I was like, oh that is and it is perfect.
Speaker 25: And it's hot with two t's and wax with two x's, right,
yeah hot wax. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I dig it.
Oh we should talk about too. Just before we go
to I'm gonna put the camera back on me for
a minute so I can hold this up. So for
people watching online, if you're watching on Facebook or YouTube
or LinkedIn, believe it or not, actually stream of LinkedIn
you oh no, pull this up, this whole package. So
uh so this there's a I like the glasses.
Speaker 2: Yes, glasses.
Speaker 12: And this USB drive has the EP on it.
Speaker 2: Yes it does, it does. We we have dropped our
album unaccustomized USB.
Speaker 7: World wide, worldwide.
Speaker 12: Very cool.
Speaker 2: And on the USB you can hear the complete album,
all four songs and they if you put them in
any USB place that plays music, your car, your computer,
it'll automatically play the album from beginning to end.
Speaker 12: Very cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's four songs EP and on there is a
bunch of bonus materials. What I'd like to call waxtras
and that's a five minute collage video of us playing
Hot Wax songs live and the song information, bio information
about who I am in Thrax, also pictures and fun
images that were created for song art album art album
liner notes.
Speaker 12: Oh so there's a lot in there.
Speaker 2: There's a whole bunch of that's really cool stuff in
there that you can listen to and look at and
have fun with.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, no, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: We'll have them at the show.
Speaker 12: And it sounds like it probably plays more places than
the New Lord CD.
Speaker 25: Does y'all know about that? No, we talked about that
last week with the New Lord CD. It's a clear
it's a completely clear CD. It's completely transparent, you can
look right through it. But it doesn't play on a
lot of players.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not even a CD. It's that plastic piece
of CD that you get when you have blank you
have the blank CD, the tower of blank CDs that
that top that sits on there. Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly, exactly. No, but this is a cool concept
with the USB.
Speaker 2: I feel like this is the future. I give the
credit to my wife Chan. Yeah, and but I'm always
looking for futuristic things, to do something different, something new,
something that hasn't been done, something that's not being done,
and something that's like makes life easier. Like just put
that in your USB in your car, Boom, you'll have
four great songs from Who I Am in tracks. Yeah, yeah, no,
I love it, popping out.
Speaker 12: I love it.
Speaker 25: So it's very fun. You can wear it as a
necklace too. Oh yeah, yeah, oh that's cool. We should
we should play another track, and we were talking off
air about it. So one of these, one of these
tracks has has a guest startist on it.
Speaker 2: Yes, open your eyes and we're going to.
Speaker 12: Play that in a moment. But tell us about this.
So Brad to Palma is on.
Speaker 2: This, Yes, the great Brad to Palma is on this
as a featured artist.
Speaker 7: Homie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we've both played on many bills and he's
playing bands with Brad, And of course I love Brad
so much. Yeah, big fan. I feel like he's possibly
the best guitarist in the region.
Speaker 12: Kidding.
Speaker 2: I would like to know who's better, because I've seen
most of them, and I don't know who I haven't seen.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's all order.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard, I've heard every you know, because I
had my radio show, but I think Brad. To me,
Brad is the best guitarist in the region, and so
I reached out to him. I said, hey, would you
be interested in dropping the lick for this song? It
really needs, you know, something like what you got And.
Speaker 12: We would know him from Dog a Dog, earth Mark
earth Mark.
Speaker 2: I first saw him in National back in the day
and uh yeah, I've been following him for a long
time and legend he's you know, he's intertwined in the
the southern New Hampshire Merrock Valley region as you know,
the one to go to if you need guitar. And
so yeah, so he did. He dropped that forth. You know,
Thracks did the audio engineering for the the entire album.
Speaker 12: Okay, so you know.
Speaker 2: He Brad dropped that tr back and and Tracks work
magic to get it from that piece of descent and
then put it on the songs and it's just like
it's it's perfect. It's basically I'm not ashamed to say
it's the one take that he sent us and boom,
it's perfect and why not awesome?
Speaker 12: All right?
Speaker 2: So yeah, we love it.
Speaker 25: All right, let's give this a listen. So this is
who I Am and thracks featuring Brad to Palma on guitar.
And this is called open your Eyes.
Speaker 20: In the time.
Speaker 26: We as mousters.
Speaker 20: Surprise for fa shift in time.
Speaker 8: Tho we.
Speaker 26: Thought to be free, say Sid going back to the sea.
Speaker 8: Yep, you say, oh, say.
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 22: And what did you say? So then.
Speaker 17: The ground.
Speaker 26: Waste his time the time.
Speaker 20: Living.
Speaker 6: Lets see what you have.
Speaker 25: Sh shot.
Speaker 12: Ye, that is open your Eyes.
Speaker 25: That is who I Am and tracks and yeah that
sounded with Brad de Palma on guitar. So Max, you
you engineered the EP.
Speaker 7: Yeah, uh, at least of it because the other obviously
the other fifty came from you. Lacy. Yeah, yes I did. Uh,
Okay did most of the puts together thingies you know
all those things. Yeah I did. I did everything myself. Yeah,
drums was definitely obviously my my area. But I engineered
that whole entire thing.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Uh, mixed, mastered, and semi engineered. It took a while.
This wasn't like a oh, let's just spur the moment
do this like this was meticulous planning over weeks, over weeks,
like every song had its own session. Yeah, for for
things so like we uh, Lacey is very precise, okay,
very uh, not even particular, because that's that's in my eyes,
just putting down your music. You have a very knowledgeable
thing of what you want to happen, because obviously this
is your music. So there was very uh, here's this,
here's this, let's go back to this, let's see if
we can change this. And it's very you know, touch
and go of what can we make better? Yeah? Yea,
so I had I had fun the whole entire time.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 7: We we were both like ecstatically happy every time we're
on the other end of the making of every single song. Yeah,
because the process was just so fun. Yeah, really was.
Speaker 25: It's good that you enjoy that too, and you embrace
that because some some musicians hate that part. Some musicians
just want to play, you know, and they hate the
everything that goes into recording.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like building a song, yeah, you know, building a
studio song. Oh yeah, yeah, you do kind of build it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, you're not just playing it live to tape, right,
which means you know, you just play everything all at
once and then you know you just say, okay, that's
the song.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We did one of the things that helped me a lot,
was you know, we we worked with stems as far
as the individual tracks of the song, you know, so
that kind of that upped my game a bit because
I needed to like have those separate things for tracks
to really make it, you know, sound right. Yeah, and
like that's something that it's nice to have, you know,
two ears and and and again tracks as it got
a knowledgeable ear. So so it's like, I know, I
can you know, get it kind of most to the
top of the hill, like here, can you take it
to the top of the hill? Right? And and he
was able to do that easily, easily. Yeah, it was.
It was a great it was fun process. It wasn't
easy and we yeah, we really put some thought and
time into you know, how the song should sound.
Speaker 12: And why do an EP?
Speaker 21: What?
Speaker 12: What went into that decision?
Speaker 25: This is something I'm always curious about because a lot
of artists now they just singles or yeah, or they
insist on doing an album or why do an EP?
Speaker 2: Well, I think in my mind, I was, I think
what we have and had going prior to the EP
was was really good and fun, and I think I
felt like we could progress to the next step of
like giving these songs that we were doing live two people. Yeah,
like in a form you know, and so that just
seemed like the natural progression At that point. I was like, shoot,
you want to do that? Darn, I says, you know,
why don't we do some songs together?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 2: Ye, well there's studio, you know, the studio thing, and
then the EP. I think it's it's nice just to
have a quick shot. And I think in my mind
EP was it's quicker to do an EP than a
full album. And the single thing is fine, but I'm
I'm assuming nobody's just doing just a single. They do
five songs and they released some one song at a time,
which is fine. Yeah, and I have no problem with that.
But I just felt like, you want to get a
full shot of who I am in tracks like you
want it. You wanted to hit you full force, a
nice sample of everything. Because we got other songs that
we played live. We can play you know, up to
an hour live, no problem. Yeah, just roll right through it.
And that's with no covers. That's just you know, but
we do do a cover.
Speaker 7: We do we do you do?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do Born this way? Okay, did we do
it a Chickpee Pride.
Speaker 7: That's where we we tried.
Speaker 2: That's where that's where it happened first.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, great responds and that was that was that
was a great show. That was very welcoming experience.
Speaker 2: That was it was really nice. But yeah, that's our Yeah,
born this way, it's our cover and it's so it's
super fun to do. I roll out the auto tune
on my my vocal effects. Yeah, yeah, so it's fun.
I'd like to play with those. Yeah, but it's you know,
it's it's good what we do. Love the live experience.
So I think that's what really drove Hot Wax is
like we want to put these songs, you know, in
somebody's car listening to it driving down the road.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. Let's play another one.
Speaker 25: Let's see, so we've got what we have left between
the between the other two, I'll let you pick.
Speaker 2: Well, let's do moon Run. It feels like a good
time about moon Ren.
Speaker 12: Yeah, all right, what should we know about this?
Speaker 2: It's an instrumental.
Speaker 7: Okay, it's a it's a live jam that we quantified
to uh to studio and uh it's it's a it's
a jam that we we kind of like morph every
single time that we do so like live is completely
different than than what's on the the album. But what's
on the album is a perfect like, uh, I guess
demo of what you usually get from Moon Run. So okay,
right live live.
Speaker 2: This is the famous foot on the keyboards move gotcha,
which you you know can see on our album cover. Yeah,
a painting painted by crafty Ka. Our album cover was
inspired by paintings she did, and uh, you know that's
that's one of the signature signature moves of who I
am is I played keyboards with my foot, okay, And
and that happens in this song, and so it happens
at the beginning of the song.
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 2: So the song is like a you know, in my
head when I kind of came up with it, it's like,
you know, you're on a rocket ship. You're flying to
the moon, and you get there and you're circling around
the moon in this rocket ship and then something starts
to go wrong and then everything just goes crazy and
you're like trying to put your brain into gear and
figure out what's happening. And by the time you figure
it out, the song is.
Speaker 12: Over all right, well let's get this suspend. So this
is Moon Run. This is of course Who I Am
and Thracks from their new EP hot Wax. Check this out.
Speaker 1: Two hours.
Speaker 21: Worrse Toororcers, sisters.
Speaker 22: To Horses wars Y Worse.
Speaker 20: One s.
