Speaker 10: Socks? Maybe?
Speaker 9: Yeah, pushing for socks. I think they would sell really well.
Speaker 8: There you go, there you go working on that well,
the possibilities are are truly endless. Now how long has
this been out before? Alkaline Kiss the EP? This is
the newest release? Correct?
Speaker 7: This actually a double album?
Speaker 8: Pretty new?
Speaker 7: What the double album? Nineteen songs?
Speaker 18: It is?
Speaker 10: When we're coming out with Oh okay, what you're asking about?
Speaker 8: Because I'm looking at I'm looking at band camp.
Speaker 7: Oh that's a little previous version of the album.
Speaker 8: Oh I see. Okay, so the full album. So it's
going to be a double album?
Speaker 7: Yeah, nineteen.
Speaker 17: Well for vine A record's gonna be nineteen songs. Okay,
album CD, you know yeah, nineteen songs okay.
Speaker 8: Wow? Now what one in the decision to do that?
Because you know, we live in an era where people
are releasing singles, some people some artists just only released singles,
some release EPs, some released albums. But a double album.
Speaker 17: Well, the then, as we started working this project last
year and we wanted to try to change us sound
a little bit from the previous albums we had, and
we wrote a song called like Sinai that kind of
started the whole thing. Yeah, And when that happened, it
was like a I don't know, such a flow of
creativity that we had filmy songs that we had a
you know, really small Yeah. Actually there's a lot more
songs that was part of the project that's going on
other projects.
Speaker 8: Oh really yeah.
Speaker 17: But this band, the way it works is if you
take too long finishing an album, I'd add more.
Speaker 10: Songs to the album for longer and longer and yeah.
Speaker 17: It's so it's like you need to get it done
really quick or you're gonna have a you know, four
piece album.
Speaker 8: So why does that happen? Are you just always writing?
Speaker 10: Is there just always new musicstantly?
Speaker 17: I'm always writing. Yeah, I can't stop, Like it's just
my thing.
Speaker 18: It's amazing, Like, well, we'll come over for practice and
he's like, I wrote four new songs today and they're
all amazing.
Speaker 8: Like, oh wow, that's cool. Like did you write songs
for other artists as well?
Speaker 7: Or yes? And I don't like doing anymore.
Speaker 17: You know what the problem is like is you know
the band like if I write something, they want it
from themselves, and I you know, that's fair. So I
got to write something really really odd. But then that's
want to utilize it. But I think they're I mean
utilize that sometimes.
Speaker 7: I don't know. But now we became in the agreement.
It's like if I write songs, it's for this band. Yeah,
you know. I helped out like the play Dad, which
was in here a few weeks ago.
Speaker 8: Yes, we love playing is so much fun.
Speaker 17: He's a new album coming out in a few months
and I helped work on that one. Oh okay, but
that's basically just a bit like I can't I'm not
allowed to know any music that's kind of like ours.
Speaker 7: I'm not allowed to do that. Okay, okay, pulled the plug.
Speaker 8: I think we met Plague Dad through Vices Inc.
Speaker 17: Yeah, well when I were originally we put me on
that date and to be here, we were able to
show up and Frank came in killed us and helped
out and yeah he's entertaining.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, no, we had a we had a
great time. If you are just joining us, we have
Vices Inc. Here with us live in studio. So the
so the double album, so it comes out December. What
did you say, the ninth, thirteenth, thirteenth, Yeah, that is perfect, yep, absolutely,
And then are you already are you already working on
the next one, because you've got all this music.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm that one of them explained about that
because it's insane.
Speaker 8: Actually, Okay, we're.
Speaker 9: Working on the next several projects.
Speaker 18: Like we have folders of all different like kind of genres,
like yeah, like it's it's it's it's unfathomable, unfathomable how
much music he has completed, and now like we have
to go through the process of adding Handie's bass and
Chrissy strums and then my vocals.
Speaker 9: And I'm not very fast at writing lyrics, so it's
like he'll like write thirty songs for everyone that I complete.
Speaker 8: Oh wow.
Speaker 18: So we have it all organized and we have like
a loose plan. Yeah, but you know, stuff comes up.
If you write something he's really passionate about. In the
next couple of months, it's very possible we'll like switch
over to like really focus on that, right, and then
go back to the other things.
Speaker 9: But we have a lot, a lot that's kind of.
Speaker 17: I think we're about ten albums yeah, yeah, wow, and
then I've got a lot more that's stort away waiting
for them. But again, she said, in the meantime, I'm
writing more new material all the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah. So it's it's it's never end in battle.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: But having owned studio helps that out right, Oh.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So do you do you write the music and eleanor
you write the lyrics or how does how does the processor?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 17: I read the music and then I showed the band, Yeah,
put it okay, and then the elements to that. Yeah,
each person you know, she writes most of the lyrics.
Sometimes she wants, hey, can you help me out here?
And I might help her out? Yeah I won't, I know,
yeah right, she know, she writes.
Speaker 18: Usually what he'll do, though, is he'll he'll record a
track and then he names it and it's a dummy title,
like he's usually attached to the name, but he has
so many songs he's sending me that I often use
the dummy title as inspiration.
Speaker 8: Oh okay.
Speaker 18: It's kind of like a writing prompt where I'm like, okay,
like what like this is what he named the song,
like truculent, Like okay, what what could that be about?
Speaker 9: And then I'll go from there.
Speaker 8: That makes sense?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Is that how it's always worked from the beginning of
the spand is that?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Pretty much?
Speaker 8: How long his vice has ain't been around? It's been
a while, right.
Speaker 23: I met him in twenty nineteen and then we damned
for like maybe a couple of months, maybe a little
bit longer than that, and then we.
Speaker 10: Brought Ellieen in like September that year, so.
Speaker 9: It was like, yeah, it's been about like just over
five years.
Speaker 17: Okay, okay, yeah, we uh got track a little bit
because of COVID and stuff. Yeah, we were starting playing
shows and stuff, and when COVID had it kind of
derailed us a little bit. Yeah, so instead of just
not doing anything, we just worked in the studio and
made music and stuff. Yeah, and then we didn't start
playing shows again last year. Oh okay, three years before
we started playing shows again.
Speaker 7: Yeah.

lot of music? Is it hard to decide what to play?
Is it hard to narrow down a set list? Or
what's what's that like?
Speaker 7: That's a that's a good question. I usually don't tell
the set list.
Speaker 17: You see this play really it's really yeah, Yeah, it's
usually what what I'm in the mood for.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm being honest. That's how it is.
Speaker 29: Well Ringer where they're like, I can't believe he just no.
Speaker 23: I mean, he's never given us a song we don't know,
at least because then he would not probably not know
it either, so he's not gonna you know, bet himself
and shoot himself in the right.
Speaker 17: But usually focused on whatever album we're on war width
at that time for the most part.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah makes sense, and then we mix it with
some cover songs that people like.
Speaker 17: Yeah, but if I feel in the song's not gonna
work for the show, and what's the shout out for
something else?
Speaker 7: Yeah, because you can kind of you know, read the
room and sure exactly.
Speaker 8: Figure out what you think the crowd's gonna want. Yeah. True,
And then now have you got you've gotten some airplay
right with uh with some of these singles.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, oh yeah, we're in quite a few stations now,
which is really cool. Yeah yeah, and you know we've.
Speaker 17: Been doing It's kind of funny because we we did
some radio like I said, id's over the last weekend. Yeah,
and some radio stations that asked us to do it,
and I think, oh, it was like maybe six of them. Yeah,
and then she said, I'm doing like fourteen of one.
Speaker 8: Yeah that's awesome.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah yeah, and I was like, wow, I guess
we get some play.
Speaker 17: Yeah, but yeah, I mean it's the raddist issue that's
played us on Thursday Thanksgiving with Portland oreon.
Speaker 7: You know. Yeah, it's cool to have you know, we
spread out like that.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, to be able to h send your music
from one Portland to another. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, outstanding.
What's the is it still when I had had when
I had had you on before, the song that had
gotten the most airplay at that point was is it
giving up but not giving in? I'm say the name right,
giving up, giving not giving up? I got toyslexic with it?
Is that still like the biggest in terms of airplay?
Speaker 17: Or like I told us of all time, I think so, yeah,
for sure, because it's a lot, but our top ten
list is well mostly echo line kiss songs got really popular.
But you know, giving in there's a song called we
did I Love You is a cover song and I
did really really well too. Yeah, and then we got
a saw that it's an intrill to an album called
The Experience, and that got a lot of plays.
Speaker 7: It's really weird. And then don't be be aware. We're
not gonna mention that one.
Speaker 8: Okay, well, now I'm curious.
Speaker 10: I don't want to be a joke song for Halloween EP.
But it gets popular every Halloween.
Speaker 4: I don't kiddy.
Speaker 7: Lot's a good thing.
Speaker 17: But yeah, so it's we are happy that it's mostly
like back kiss songs now because that's the sound we're
moving into. Okay, for the most part the longest time,
we're a pop punk band. Yeah, we moved away from that. Yeah,
we're trying to move away from that, just just a change.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, I I I really like these songs now.
So is that is that kind of the direction you're
going with because you're constantly writing, like do you try
to stay.
Speaker 7: In that lane when you're writing or that's that's a
good question. I this is the thing.
Speaker 17: It's it's whatever I'm in the mood for kind of thing, right, Yeah,
And I can base a whole album around one song
if it works out that way. But I always did
from the very again, I told him like, eventually we're
gonna get older, and I want music to accommodate that. Okay,
I didn't want to be playing music that I feel
like I'm seventeen years old. So yeah, and they were all,
you know, they were fine with that, and they kind
of knew the idea that we're going to be changing
that into the more return of style if that's.
Speaker 7: What we want to type cast. Yeah.
Speaker 17: And but once we I had a few songs I
was working on before, and I was like, eventually we're
gonna get to that song.
Speaker 7: I went to that album.
Speaker 17: We had to get a few bridge albums to that album,
which is called Vices Link by the way, and that's
gonna be a cooler album, it sounds like.
Speaker 10: For that album. Yeah, album that will come out in
a couple of years.
Speaker 17: But when we when I did like like sign I
had a dream and I basically hummed the song on
the phone and christ you have get your butt down here,
we're gonna get together. Yeah, and we started working on that.
I knew then that this is just I want to
do and we did a whole album around that style. Yeah,
so it came out a little bit sooner than that,
but that's where I'm at right now.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, when you say you didn't want to, you know,
as you get older, you didn't want to still be
playing music that sounded like you were seventeen? Is that like,
what do you mean, like like sort of that pop
punk thing you wanted to get around?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I'm not I'm not trying to you know,
dis her and thing that. Yeah.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I don't know, and it's it's it's something that
I always will love playing. I just thought I want
to expand what we're doing a little bit more and
and it's a little bit more challenging too, you know.
So I feel like in you know, with the people
who are playing in this band, like you know, Almo's
vocals are you know, amazing, and it's great to you know,
utilize that. Christie, you know fine, but you know, you know,
you know, Handley like different styles of music than you know,
than the other two people, well, I think her and
Christy like some similar music. I like everything for the
most you know, but I wanted to incorporate read people's
likes a little bit more into the music. So yeah,
you get more committed to it, but you know, and
at the same time that they will always committed to
whatever we're doing too, So I shouldn't even say that,
but that's the way I'm thinking right now. But also
the ones that just want to send it to a
wider market, that's the main thing. But also feel like,
you know, I'm not juvenile.
Speaker 8: Right right? Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. That makes sense.
You want to grow and evolve and all of that.
I'm sure I asked you before, but I honestly don't
remember what the answer was. Where does the name Vices Inc.
Come from?
Speaker 7: Go ahead?
Speaker 23: Yeah, it actually came from a song that he wrote,
like right when around the time that we met, there
was a song that we were working on.
Speaker 10: We never released it. We still have it. Oh it's
called Advices Inc.
Speaker 23: Okay, And we were trying to come up with a
name for the band, and we just kept like looking up,
Oh is this, like, is the name of this this
idea taken like on a website or anything. And we
took up looking and all these ideas, like all these
wackiest things you can think of, all of them taken.
You look at Vices Inc. And are like, oh, there's
no way this isn't going to be taken. Nope, no
bands called Vices Inc. We can fine, Like no, that's perfect.
Speaker 7: We like we like this.
Speaker 17: It was Yeah, that was exactly what she said because
we I was looking up these you know, people will
park these names toms yeah, and I was like, well
I want able to have that, you know, so like, yeah,
I can't have that, then I'm going to change the
name just the announced and tell.
Speaker 7: Me the names that I was coming up with it.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I have to know. I love rejected band names.
Speaker 10: I don't remember any of them. It was too long ago.
It was five years.
Speaker 8: I don't believe you.
Speaker 7: You just I really don't Hunt one Hunt.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I remember that Hunt in a h U
n T.
Speaker 7: It's actually a town in Massachusetts.
Speaker 8: Yeah, something people wouldn't know how to spell, isn't good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna come up them out, you know,
you know it's going to come out right.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but you know.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's just like you know, I'm gonna try this.
I think there's no way that is not taken. And right,
I was like dot com is not taken? Like what Yeah, yeah,
it is surprising. But most people a lot of times
they say it wrong and say by incorporated, which we
are not advice incorporated right is ink?
Speaker 28: Right?
Speaker 10: Alexa still says incorporated and is driving to make crazy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, with no doubt in man. Finally, you don't know
there pretty good talking.
Speaker 10: Where there all by yourself? It's fine.
Speaker 7: She's actually mean, so.
Speaker 8: Like like what mean things does she do?
Speaker 7: She blocks people?
Speaker 8: Really?
Speaker 7: You know you're out in the band when she blocks you,
Oh that's terrible. You don't know what do you have
to do that for.
Speaker 8: I'm a bass player.
Speaker 7: I don't do that usually basically not nice, but usually
some people.
Speaker 10: Deserve to be blocked. Though I don't agree more.
Speaker 7: I guess you know you made it when she blocks you.
Speaker 8: Though, here you go. If you're just joining us, we
have vices in here with us live in studio on
this Saturday morning. All right, do you have shows this
weekend or you are you planning out anywhere this weekend
or what's what's your holiday schedule, like, well, we took
a lot of.
Speaker 17: Time off, yeah, because of a medical issue in the band.
Because of that, a lot of shows got canceled stuff,
and we only been doing like, you know, ful.
Speaker 7: Amount of shows. Yeah, next real show.
Speaker 17: We have two shows the end of this month, twenty
this month, next month, I'm sorry, December twenty first is the.
Speaker 7: Next show we have. Yeah, and then that's it.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and we're just you know again recording and and
get ready for Christmas.
Speaker 10: I mean we also got to keep recording kind of
catch up with.
Speaker 4: You, right. Well.
Speaker 7: We also going to be releasing were releasing.
Speaker 17: Our first first album album album, a third album called
every Day Hero. We're they're finishing that up to re
release it. But the original version came out on it
doesn't pay off.
Speaker 8: So oh okay, we did a little swift then we
have to you're so so you're actually re recording the
whole thing?
Speaker 10: Yeah, correct, some of the tracks to Wish.
Speaker 7: I think it's going to be better actually, given in
it's from that album.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, Oh no kidding, Okay, Yeah, sometimes re recording
can be a good thing to give it a.
Speaker 10: Refresh and exact update the sound to what we have now.
Speaker 23: Yeah, their stands there's a bit higher now too, and
we have you know, our process of recording kind of set.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so that helps a lot. There you go, No,
that makes sense, that makes sense. And then uh, what
so it in the new year, you're gonna you've got
another Oh you do have another tour coming right yere?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we do.
Speaker 17: It's gonna be another new Northeast And for the most part,
it's gonna be like a month. Okay, it looks like
it's a month, but from the Northeast you can go
from one state to or another and go back home. Yeah,
so it's not really going out too far, but we
are gonna be going as far down as Delaware, and.
Speaker 10: We're going to Maryland again, going.
Speaker 7: To Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Allen, Jersey. Yeah, do you walk. Yeah,
that's that's what we're doing.
Speaker 8: Excellent, excellent, And that would be back like his part
two tours and and Who's who's on this one where.
Speaker 17: They do you know we're going solo and you are, Yeah,
we're going to you know, we're going to solos one
this one. That's because we're gonna try something different and
we played trust Me We're gonna always play play shows
with you know, Frank Gallagher lay Dad for the rest
of our lives.
Speaker 8: Yeah, good good.
Speaker 10: We played over shows with him actually really yeah, no kidding.

that in the area. He's gonna be on that show.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, any videos for the for the.
Speaker 4: New the new album.
Speaker 17: We need to get on that list. It's something that
we have been dragging our feet on and we will
get on it. The problem is, like you know, yeah,
you would think it'd be easier because Eleanor does acting
for it's an actress.
Speaker 7: She's in several movies and stuff.
Speaker 17: Oh that's right, Yeah, I remember you talking about that.
You would think that we would be getting videos done easily.
Speaker 23: But I mean it's hard to You have to like
kind someone to film me find a location. That's really
the hard At least I find that that'd be the
hardest thing.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Play what's the concept of the video? Is it a
performance video? Just have a story?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Are we going to be in it?
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, we find to find other actors to
be in it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Are we doing sock pop puppets? That'd be nice.
Speaker 9: We should we could do that video with our vices
in socks that we're going to sell.
Speaker 8: There you go, perfect, that's the tie in. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
there's a video for giving.
Speaker 17: Up right given Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did that and
during the COVID then obviously gets to the mask on there. Yeah,
and you know, that's the only one that we really
performed in, right.
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 7: We get other ones that are videos, but we're not
in it. But yeah, we're going to get on it,
I hope.
Speaker 8: So see, I just assumed you were so busy writing
all these songs you don't have any time to make
a video.
Speaker 10: That's kind of part of it.
Speaker 8: And then yeah, so eleanor so have you you've done
more acting since you were here last Yes.
Speaker 18: So we completed recording the sequel of the film that
I talked about last time, which the first one is
called Rooks, and that's released through Accented Films. My friend
