point three w M n H.

Speaker 4: Got command God, don't get Supreme Leada, Matt Zell.
Speaker 2: Coming, Good morning everybody. Here we go.
Speaker 1: It is that time again, Matt Connorton Unleashed and we
are live from the studios of WL ninety five point
three FM and Glorious but very cold, but glorious Manchester,
New Hampshire. And of course you can stream the show
from anywhere. Go to Matt connorton dot com, slash live
for all your live streaming options, social media links, contact
and foshow archives, et cetera, et cetera. If you are
listening live, today is Saturday, December fourteenth, twoenty twenty four.
We have some great guests today and we're going to
get into all of that in just a moment. But
I do want to remind you too again if you
are listening live on Saturday, today is a big day.
A little bit later in the day, well not much
later though, we've got the Magical Market at Great north
Ale Works right here in Manchester New Hampshire. And the
reason this is particularly important is because Jenny is going
to be there and then I will be joining her
later of course after the show. The event runs from
noon to four pm. Jenny's not here because she's got
to be there early to set up and she's going
to be selling some of her amazing macrome that she
makes and just doesn't credible job with. I always say,
I don't even know how she does it. My brain
can't do the math, because there's math if you think
about it. It's geometry, right, the things that she creates.
But so she will be there and she'll have a
table all set up, and of course I will be
joining her later after the radio show, so probably be
like you know, one fifteen, one thirty by the time
I get there, but so really looking forward to that.
So that is the magical market. There's going to be
a ton of vendors there, great small businesses participating, and
of course it is that time of year where people
are shopping, and you know, we always say shop local,
support your local businesses. As I always like to say,
Walmart and Target don't need any more of your money.
They will be just fine regardless. But small businesses. It's
so important to support them. So please come to great Worth.
I can't say it. Great north Ale works later today again,
that's going to be going from noon to four pm
right here in Manchester. A really great event. And I'm
gonna go ahead and bring this to mic up because
us a live in studio Sean Devlin from Devil inside Us.
Did I say it correctly?
Speaker 5: Did I did?
Speaker 1: Yes? Welcome Sean, welcome, Thank you. Pull pull that mic
up a little a little bit more. Yeah, he's got
a These mics are such that you just got to
talk right into them. Awesome. Uh so we're gonna play
We're gonna play a tune in a minute. But you've
got a big show coming up in Nashua.
Speaker 5: Yes, tonight at one thirty four Heen Street. It's a
newer venue called Terminus Underground.
Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah, Terminus is a great place. Have you been
there yet? Have you actually physically been there?
Speaker 5: I have not.
Speaker 1: I tell everybody that the same thing. When you walk in,
it's like walking into another world. It's it's so cool,
it really is. They do such a great job with it. Yeah,
I know them very well. Eleanor and Andre and uh yeah,
Terminus is. It's a great place. We had Uh we
had green Jello or green Jelly, whatever you want to
call them, whichever name you want to use on the show. Uh,
not too too long ago. And before they left, Uh,
they ended up well, Bill Mansfield said, hey, can or
Man's I do that every time? Bill mann Speaker. I
don't know why I say Mansfield. Bill mans Speaker said
something about, you know, we're gonna be back in the
area in a couple of months if there's a venue
that you can that in the area that we could play,
because they had just played the shas Skiing, but they
wanted to, you know, play another place coming back through.
And so Jenny got them booked working with Eleanor got
them booked at Terminus And what a show. A little
nerve wracking because I just remember thinking the entire time,
this is great, but I just hope nothing gets broken.
Speaker 5: I've worked with Bill a lot, I've booked him on
a few shows. Yeah he yeah, he brings chaos. He's
a tornado.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. When they were on because it
was so cool, they played Shaskiing on a Friday night
and then they came in here on Saturday morning to
do this, and as you know, that's kind of unusual.
Usually if you're playing a venue in a city, you
do all the radio stuff before, you know, to promote
the show, so you know, for them to be willing
to come in here, and it wasn't just Bill, he
brought the whole band. For them to be willing to
come in the day after the show, that was. That
was really cool and oh yeah, what an experience. Although
just like the show at Terminus that that interview made
me nervous too. It was like, you know, I just
remember sitting here thinking, if anyone is ever going to
get me fired, it's probably going to be Bill Mann speaker, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It was just like they're like, please, Bill, please don't
say anything that's gonna get me in trouble. But we
are on an eight second delay, so you know. But yeah,
that was That was a lot of fun. Anyway, the
point being you're gonna love Terminus. It's a great place.
The show. What is the name of the show tonight?
Speaker 5: The show is Jimmy Half Dead's Christmas in.
Speaker 1: Hell, Okay, And that's who's headlining, right, Jimmy half Dead.
Speaker 5: Jimmy half Dead in the dialogus. This is Jimmy's annual event. Okay,
it's kind of his chaotic Christmas party where he gets
to do his version of his holiday. Yeah, kind of
like a punk rock Grinch type of deal. Yeah, dresses
up as Santa, drinks a lot of Yeggermeister.
Speaker 1: Does a yeah, and we should talk too about this
is not only it doesn't sound like it's going to
be a lot of fun, but it's also for a
great cause.
Speaker 5: Yeah. So my friend Ben Campbell, who used to be
a musician locally here in Manchester.
Speaker 1: Yep, I know Ben well yeah, yeah, he.
Speaker 5: Puts together a toy drive every year for the past
eighteen years for CSH in Squigh Health. He collects thousands
of dollars, personally, goes out, does the shopping, buys the
toys and hand delivers them to kids who have been
in the holidays in the hospital.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that's amazing. Yeah, I know Ben. I know
him as Ben Spelman from back in the day from
the band Change of Season and yeah, always always a
really good guy. You know, we were kind of talking
off about how, you know, he could be a little rambunctious.
People might have gotten the wrong idea about him back then.
But but no, but but always uh, you know, for
as long as I knew him, you know, I always
had a really good heart and oh just a really
sweet person. So in a way, it doesn't surprise me
that he does this every year because he's you know,
he's the type of person who would So that's that's awesome,
and I gotta get him on the show. I haven't
seen the guy in forever, but that's that's really really cool. Now,
who else is playing tonight? Is it just? Is it
just your band? And and Jimmy Aftett or.
Speaker 5: So the opening band is the musician that worked with
Ben as well, Aaron Billy Do.
Speaker 1: Oh, Aaron. Aaron's been on the Actually Aaron was here
just a few weeks ago. Yeah, a couple of weeks ago.
Aaron's amazing. Yeah, Aaron was in Change of Season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's how that's how I knew who Aaron was.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And also Duygenstein, who is a member of Green Jelly.
Speaker 1: Oh see I didn't know that. Okay, that's wow, that's fantastic.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's a very cool. I do mixed John shows, yeah,
because rather than just stick with metal bands metal bands,
we try to make sure that the New England music
scene plays together. Yeah, plays together well, and we have
a good time. Of course, now that we're older, we
try to throw a good cause in there and make
sure that everyone has a good time. Supports something good,
helps our community, helps our music community, really keeps us
all together.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. Let's play something and then we'll come back.
And I'm dying to learn more about the band devil
inside us And it sounds like you guys, you've been
around for a while and I'm sure there's, uh, there's
a lot to dig into there. But what should we
I'll let you pick, kind of put you put you
on the spot, because you did send us a few
things to play. What should we? I don't know if
you have a single that you're pushing or.
Speaker 5: We have nothing we're pushing right now. We're currently working
on some stuff, so hopefully next year we have some
new material. Because we took due to the pandemic, we
took some time off. Yeah, you know, started families and
kind of slowed down, and then the last couple of
years we're like, we have that itch.
Speaker 1: Yeah done, yeah, yeah, exactly. I think I had sent
you I've got a goddess. Uh, I'm sorry. Uh, Goddess
for the Goddess for the godless and I've got the
worthless one.
Speaker 5: Goddess for the Godless was one of our first, one
of our first recordings that we actually went into a
real studio and put together. So we can and it's
as far as I know, we've made sure that these
were the radio friendly songs that we could push.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yeah, I did pre screen them.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah. So we'll go with Goddess with the Godless first.
Speaker 1: All right, great, awesome if you're just joining us. Sean
Devlin from Devil inside Us is here with us, and uh,
we'll we'll play this. Uh. This is called Goddess for
the Goddess for the Godless. I think my uh, something
that's frozen because of so cold out. I don't know
if it's my mouth because I can't seem to speak,
or maybe it's my brain something neurologically has been affected
by the cold weather.
Speaker 5: So forgive me up and doesn't help it.
Speaker 1: No, he did, it sure doesn't. But let's give this
a spin and then we're gonna come back and talk
with Sean. Here it is Goddess for the Godless in a.
Speaker 4: Line is dark, assures.
Speaker 3: And it's cold Tasi.
Speaker 6: Her tongs are top with words a god like.
Speaker 4: No matter how is you chats, your wageness is the same.

Speaker 6: Raso rosso rasa swear rasno God.
Speaker 10: I swear.
Speaker 6: Every snow card.
Speaker 7: I swear.
Speaker 1: That'll get your blood pump itaud a cold Saturday morning.
That is Goddess for the godless. The band is Devil
inside Us and we have Sean Devlin here with us
alive in studio on the Saturday morning. So we were
talking off air about the song and what it's about.
And there's a reason why why it's particularly interesting to me.
But I go go ahead and tell us what that's
what that's actually about.
Speaker 5: That song is the boat just being addicted to something
like the alert the call of whatever it is like
that is to you, your your God or your goddess. Yeah,
you'll do anything for that thing, no matter what it takes.
You'll try to get it, whether it be sex, whether
it be money, whether it be anything you're greedy for,
any vices. It's pretty much like how, no matter what,
no matter how you want that thing mm hm, that
thing doesn't care about you in return, right right, It's
just you striving, scratch and clawing to get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's interesting to me because so I'm a
I work as a certified hypnotherapist and I help people
with addiction quite a bit, smoking being the number one
thing that people come to me for to quit smoking.
So but Yeah, but I like what you said about
you know, when you're addicted to that something that doesn't
actually care about you. You know, smoking is a great
example of that. There's there's literally nothing good that comes
from smoking a cigarette, right, But you know, but once
you become addicted to it, you know, you're you're always
craving something that does nothing for you, that doesn't give
you anything, doesn't care about you.
Speaker 5: And you'll be in pain, you'll have cancer, you'll die.
It doesn't matter, right, cigarettes will still be for sale.
Speaker 1: Right exactly, exactly what oh and two? Uh, tell me
about where the name comes from. Devil inside us and
we should spell that for people too, because when people
look you up online, you know they're not gonna they're
not gonna know.
Speaker 5: So the name Devil inside Us was pretty much you know,
I was, I was young, but it was a take
on necessary evil. So it's that thing that everyone has
inside them, or like the way it was taught. Because
I'm not religious, but I was in a religious family.
My family was Buddhist, but in every religion there's this
version of this, and it can be applied to daily life.
It's that thing you do too much good, something evil
comes from it, whether it's envy, whether it's you know,
someone looks at you with ill will because you're doing
something they're like, what's that person's thing? Or if you
do too much bad, someone wants to change it and
put good into it. So for us, it was kind
of fitting to have a name that kind of to
some people would represent evil. To other people, if they
knew what it meant, would be like, oh, that's actually
kind of cool because we're you know, we're not evil people.
We're not bad people, and everyone and everything, you know,
no matter what it is, even if it's like, you know,
a mainstream charity, there's that underlying, like someone's making a
profit off of that. There's a reason for people to
do the things that they do. And that's kind of
all in that name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I dig it And how do you
spell it? The name of the band d e v
l y n S y d u S And it's
two words, so it looks like a name.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was. When I was a I used to
be a professional wrestler as well. Really, judging by the
size of me, you might football player or a professional Yeah,
So I went to I trained for wrestling in Malden,
Massachusetts what started as Killer kawal Skis and then became
Superstar Pro Wrestling. Okay, So I was there and at
the same time I was involved in local music and
another musician, Brandon Lee, was in a band called Wretched Asylum,
and he goes, oh, that should be uh your band name.
Now before we were called den of Iniquity, okay, and
you know, there's also other songs and bands called that,
and like there he was like, oh, you know, just
like I was toying with that name. And he was
one of the people that said, oh, you should do that,
and then my bandmates all also were like, yeah, you
should definitely, you should definitely do that. Yeah, And the
name sounded cool and it stuck and people seem to
like it. A lot of people pronounce it Devlin sidious.
Speaker 1: Right, but which would not be a bad name actually devil. Oh,
that's interesting. I'm curious with a name like that, dude,
do people end up spelling it wrong? Like it I'm
sure it's been spelled wrong on a poster or two
over the years.
Speaker 5: Usually just the one letter the why really yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lot of people are like, oh, it sounds like
it could be a person's name, which was kind of
the point, right right, But yeah, no, promoters people like
we've when they put us on flyers for like the
Worcester Palladium or places like that, they all like, you know,
or Jewel across the street. That's one comment is always
that's a pretty cool band name. Yeah, you have to
read it twice, right, but she puts it through your head.
Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, no, I dig it. I like it
a lot if you are just joining us. Of course,
we have Sean Devlin here from Devil Inside Us and uh,
it's interesting that.
Speaker 11: So.
Speaker 1: I'm a big wrestling fan, have been since I was
a kid, and so is Jenny by the way, who
also commented in the chat room she really liked that song.
Oh and I see Andre Dumont is in there as well,
of course from the band, and Dad Harrison and of course.
Speaker 5: Uh Mortuus Orus.
Speaker 7: Yes, Oh, I.
Speaker 1: Knew those guys when they were always speaking of bands
that would have their names. Their name is spelled on
posters when they were when they were mortuous mortuous ortis
is that what it was? Yeah? I saw their name
butchered a few times, but uh yeah, dead Harrison is
amazing great, great band and great people. But yeah, Andre says,
good morning. Uh it's story time. What Oh? I also
see who I am is in the chat room. Hello,
So I'm just curious about that. So you so you
trained and were you actively a professional wrestler?
Speaker 5: Did you independently? Yeah? Yeah, I wrestled a little bit
for n W A New England up in Maine, v
c W in the Malden area and I w so
a few of those places. Yeah, a lot of independent
places between Maine and Rhode Island mostly.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, very cool. Did you did you ever get
the ring with anybody who went on to be or
or maybe somebody who had already been establish but was
on the ends.
Speaker 5: There's there's guys like Todd Hansen, who is now known
as Ivar and the WWE. Oh no kidding, Yeah, he
was the guy who was I was on many independent
shows with Battle Royals, or I would job to him
in a tag team match or something. Yeah, yeah, you know,
and in front of like fifteen people in a speaker
store parking lot.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 5: And there's guys like when John Cena was the prototype.
I got to work out with him in the ring
a few times. No, kidding, Yeah, he was because he
was wrestling for Chaotic Wrestling, and I used to put
the ring together for them. Yeah, and he would come
in and he would work out and bump with guys
and yeah, a little bit of that. So yeah, mister USA,
Tony Atlas we Hall of Famer. That's someone I know
pretty well. He's a pretty cool guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he seems like he's probably got a lot of
great stories.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And off the top of my head, like my
stepfather's daughter was a wrestler for TNA.
Speaker 1: Oh no kidding.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So wrestling was like kind of all around me.
My stepfather who raised me, kind of push pushed that
on me a lot. And then I played football and
a couple of guys from that wrestling school saw me
and they're like, oh, you're a big dude. Well you
come over here and and you know, maybe make a
little money. Wasn't that much money, right, right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, make a little money my hot dog in a handshake,
as they say when you're when you're starting out. Yeah
what uh Now? Was that always intended to just be
something you did kind of part time or.
Speaker 5: It was kind of something I got pulled into, Yeah,
through some friends because overall. I was always a musician first, Yeah,
and like I played guitar. But what it did do
for me is it really got rid of my stage fright. Oh,
interesting because in wrestling you don't focus on the crowd.
You focus on the task at hand.
Speaker 1: Right, And and you get to be somebody else, if
you know, if you want to be, I mean you
can you can be whoever you want to be, really
as a character.
Speaker 5: Or anything I want to. I was quite a few characters, yea.
And but the weird thing was, you know, I was
a chorus vocalist, I mean a soloist coming up in school,
so I was taught how to sing yeah, through chorus
and I would always freeze. I would do so well,
and then the day of like a recital, I would freeze,
and then uh yeah, I was like I was in
high school. My junior year, I did my first professional
wrestling show. And from that point forward, you can't see
anybody pass the lights, which made it a lot easier
to get on stage, and it made it second nature.
Speaker 1: Interesting. Yeah, oh that's really cool. How long did you
do that?
Speaker 5: For my most recent one? Because I stopped maybe maybe
like eight years ago. I completely stopped yeah, after because
I was getting beat up. Yeah, there's no health insurance
in that, right. But last summer, I not this past summer,
the summer before I wrestled some of my my friends. Okay,
Fenway Park.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Oh that's wild, that's cool. That's really cool.
And that's I assume that's something too. You you like,
you never forget how to do it right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the itch is always there until the next day
when you can go right right as iadic nervous, pinched
and you don't know why.
Speaker 1: No, that's that's fantastic. But like you were saying, though,
the band, you know, being a musician is really number one,
your number one passion.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And now, now when did the band start? How
long has devilin side Us been around?
Speaker 5: So we were called Den of Iniquity. We had a
couple of other names. But when I was in when
I was ten years old, my neighbor who was in
a band called Travel and magdaland now he was he
was like, let's start a band and ever since then.
That was like ninety seven. Yeah, and then by the
time we had hit high school and we were kind
of fairly known and my space days were we were
like all of a sudden, you know, we put out
some really crappy demos, but we played the Worcester Palladium
and they handed us a lot CD and people liked
that live CD. Awesome and actively I would say since
two thousand and five, together playing music since ninety seven.
But yeah, it's two thousand and five. Currently, I have
a different band lineup, a lot of guys local to
New Hampshire. Yeah, originally from the North Shore, but now
we're based out of up here.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I assume you're you're the one consistent members
throughout the.
Speaker 5: Twelve or so years. Our drummer Tim has has been there. Oh,
kind of been. He's the quiet guy, but he's the backbone,
kind of keeps everything together. He's the reason why we
have good timing. He's the reason we sound as tight
as we do. Yeah, he's the reason we go on
stage places and people like, oh, you guys are really
put together.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Has nothing to do with me, and it's the guys
I surround myself with. Yeah, Guitar player Gabe, he's really great.
He's great at working with the other members to try
to make sure everybody's up to speed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that's excellent. Has any of the material like
from way back when he started, has any of that
Have any of those songs kind of survived? Do you
still play the early stuff or.
Speaker 5: One or two of those songs still survived that we have,
like a really cool thrash metal song called Crimson Widow
that we keep there, but a lot of that earlier
stuff because it was kind of a meld. We were
new new metal was big. Yeah, so we still kind
of have that new metal sound to this day. But
back then also, you know, I liked Metallica, but the
other members liked Saint, Nirvana and some punk, so there's
like like punk riffs. Yeah, kind of gives it that
like cool thrashy sounds. But yeah, once once I heard
New Metal, it was like, this is this is the stuff,
right right? I like Metallica, but I liked Prodigy and yeah,
I heard Static X for the first time, and I
was like, oh, well, you can put these types of
music together and create something cooler.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. Well, let's let's play another track. So we'll
play uh, let's see the other one you sent us.
Speaker 5: The worthless one, the worthless one. We'll play that one.
Speaker 1: We'll play that one next. Anything we should know about
this one before we play it.
Speaker 5: The Worthless One is pretty much you know I was.
It was in a time of my life where I
was like, oh, well, things weren't really going my way.
I was in my late twenties, about to enter my thirties,
and it's like I really hadn't pulled my life together yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know I was.
Speaker 5: I was drinking a lot, and one day I was
just like, man, I'm worthless. And all the people around
me knew that I felt that way and kind of
took advantage of it. And you know, a little bit
of an emo backstory to this one, but you know what,
it was a true story and that's how I felt.
And then I turned it into you know, I turn
it into something different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, great, let's give this a spin.
This is called The Worthless One. The band is Devil Insidus,
right fella.

inside Us and we have shown from the band here
with us live in studio on this Saturday morning. And yeah,
that's another another great track. Yeah, we were talking, uh,
we were talking off air while I was playing about
you guys have played some big shows and and some
great shows at the Palladium and yeah you got to play.
You mentioned Ministry getting to play with them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, back when we were way more active,
we would get pulled into like pulled onto some bills
that were really great. You know, we would play with
bands like Ministry. There was a band Death Grips that
was on there. That show was almost sold out. We'd
played there with cold bands like Coal Chamber. Yeah. In
Rhode Island we would play with bands like Static x Dope.
Even up here in New Hampshire we would do the
same things, like, you know, bands that were new metal
bands as new metal was starting to slowly come back,
and we were we were much younger when we started
playing that type of music. But as younger kids being
you know, younger bands, being able to pull younger people
in to see those bands was really fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you must have played the Bomb Shelter up here, right.
Speaker 5: I've never played The Bomb Shelter by the time.
Speaker 1: I could, Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, now so obviously, well
how often do you play now, because, like you said,
so you're not the band is not as active as
it was at that time.
Speaker 5: But do you still play a lot of shows or recently?
So last year we kind of tested the water. We
did a couple of things for to raise money and
collect can goods so that we could drop them off
at a food shelter. We chose the FBC in Derry,
New Hampshire, because what they do is they do a
drive up line where they fill bags with groceries and
if you can't afford food, you just pull up there,
no questions asked. They give a bag of groceries to
your family. So we did that. You know, we're not
I've never been to charge of my life. But I
saw one day I was getting gas next door and
I saw I was like, wow, that's really cool. I
looked into it and I said, there's a lot of
people who can't feed their families. So you know, I'm
fortunate now that I can. I don't have those problems,
so why not help some people much like what Ben's doing,
which what we're taking care of tonight. So now every
every year in October we do can goods collection and
drive and you know, this year we were able to
do it for multiple things. We did some for the MSPCA.
We collected over a thousand, almost one thousand dollars and
bought pet food, beds, kennels, all kinds of stuff, and
we were able to in my super cross track we
filled it three times front to back with things to
drop off. And yeah, that's kind of was the basis
of it. And then last year we got asked to
play a lot more, kind of turned it down because
we weren't. Then this year, once we started, we haven't stopped.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 5: So it's booking, booking, booking. Now we're starting. I think
it's looking like we're going to start booking all the
way into next spring. Wow. As of right now, we're excellent. Yeah,
the plan was we're gonna slow down this winter. About
new music, We've been working on music for a couple
of years with the help of the newer musicians in
the band, Gabe Zach and Johnny and Tim and I are. Yeah,
we're putting it all together and we're hopefully, hopefully we'll
have newer stuff out and we'll be playing more shows
and for more good causes in the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent. Where are you recording?
Speaker 5: I built a studio in my house. Yeah, so you know,
as we're getting older, we used to pour thousands of
dollars into it. We have a lot of unreleased music
that you know, we've gone into studios and put together
and just never got a finished product that we wanted.
And then the stuff that we have put out is
stuff that you know, it's scattered singles. Yeah, so we're
right now. We thought the easiest route was to just
put it together ourselves and then we're going to hire
an engineer to mix and master it and then have
hopefully some qualit stuff. There are a lot of really
good engineers. There's a lot of really good engineers in
New England. Yes, who take a lot of good time
and learn their craft, you know, not to keep plugging
local musicians and stuff.
Speaker 1: That No, that's that's what we do here. That's absolutely Yeah.
Speaker 5: There's a musician Dave Gannon. He was in a band
called Patient Zero that he does the solo project Gannon.
Now he does great work Dave Weird Beard who records
in Tiwksbury. He was in a band that name Yeah
Weird Beard. He was in a lot of local bands.
He was involved with some recordings. He had some stories
for some of our favorite bands like seven dustin Cold Chamber. Yeah,
he was happened to be at recording sessions for them
when they were at the farm. So there's a lot
of really good engineers the Brickhead House.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So you can find places that will put out
you know, you record it yourself and they'll bring it
to the next level and you'll have quality to put out.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I always say, because it comes up a lot
on the show. I'm always curious how people are approaching
recording because there's so many different ways to do it.
And you know, there was a time and where you know, yeah,
your only real option was to go to a recording
studio and spend a lot of money. And yeah, now
and you know you can still do that if you
find the right studio, if you find the right person
to work with them. There's a lot of great talent around,
like Eric Sotter from Blackheart. You probably know Eric or
have met him, but but yeah, but you can or
you can do it the way you're doing it. It's
there's so many options now because of the technology, so
many different ways you can record and and and you
really can. You can do something at home and build
your own thing and it sounds like it was done
in a million dollar studio. It's it's amazing.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, especially like locally, the guys like Tony and Jake.
There's a local band from Manchester called Tempterris. Those guys
they're always willing to help. Yeah, bands bring something to
the next level. Sergio, Jess and Dan from Anaria and
Matt and Matt works at the Music Mill here in
Manchester and it's always helping people out. They're always willing
to help out others music musicians too.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And they have their own production studio in Nashua in
the same I think they're they're housed close to Terminus, Okay,
so they have like a production studio in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: They they put out what looked like million dollar music videos.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, in terms of video content too. Yeah.
The way the technology is now, it's funny because some
people think people who aren't people who don't pay attention,
people who aren't involved in music, they there's a misperception
out there that that there's no more music videos, you
know what I mean. Like there's some people who think, well,
you know, MTV doesn't do it anymore, and and so
there really are no music videos, when in reality, there's
more music videos than ever. Yeah, it's put them on
YouTube and other social media, but it's it's still uh
probably now more than at any time, a very important
tool in terms of marketing your music. Do you guys,
do you guys have any videos for Devil and Sidis?
Speaker 5: Yeah, not yet. We well we we do. We put
out a music video for single Eyes of a Psychopathy. Yeah,
for for me, Like we've grown so much since then.
And we had We have a friend he used to
work in movies in California and he did it. He
did it as a favor, my friend Brandon Rose. He
did it as a favor because when he was battling
cancer once again, we put together a benefit and had
some bands come out play, raise money and help his
mom get an apartment out there to go back and
forth from Massachusetts to LA And so he said, you know,
he always wanted to repay me somehow, and with no
budget at all, absolutely zero budget he threw a music
video together for our song Eyes of Psychopath. You know,
it's a song we threw together about Michael Myers and
Halloween origin story that came out and that that version
that came out around that time. And yeah, so that's
about it, and we have for music videos. Yeah, hopefully
in the next year or two we can tap Sergio
or one of these guys and get something cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it makes sense because obviously you really kind
of ramp things back up again with all the shows
that you're playing. And yeah, yeah, no, I think that
would be that would be very cool. In a moment,
we'll play We'll play that Jimmy Half Dead. So is
it officially it's Jimmy half Dad that's the name of
the artists, or is there something else to Jimmy half
Dead and the dialogue and the dialogue?
Speaker 7: Gotcha?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The members of that band are Johnny their drummer, and
Kurt Dobel, who you will know as Psycho Deestructo from
the band Green Jelly and Guelo.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of like a lot of the
Green Jelly guys are on the show tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's that's really cool. That's really cool, and
we should remind people too. For people just joining us,
we have Sean from Devil inside us here and uh,
they're going to be playing tonight at Terminus Underground in Nashua,
which is and it's a very important event. We should
tell people again who are just joining us, what tonight's
all about.
Speaker 5: Yeah. So our mutual friend Ben he Ben Spellman, Ben Campbell,
however you know him, he does a charity every year
for the past eighteen years for Chs Manchester Amischig Health
where he collects toys for kids. He goes out, he
raises the money, puts his own money and purchases them himself,
delivers the toys. And this year, like you know, he
has the power of his popular YouTube channel Speards and Bruise,
and we decided to team with him. Jamie Hafted does
his annual Christmas show Make It for a good Cause.
That was kind of one of the stipulations of us
playing was like, we'll make it a good cause, brings
something good of it, and we'll do it at Terminus Underground,
which is a new venue which is really up and coming.
Oh yeah, and the scene together bring people together and
do something good. So that'll be a Terminus Underground tonight,
Jimmy Half Dead and the Dialogues, Christmas in Hell to
support the Bike's Beards and brew Toy Drive and all
for Chs Manchester.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. By the way, andre I mentioned earlier is
in the chat room and he gave us a great
comment here. It's always a great way to start off
a show day. Get up in the morning, suck down
some coffee and listen on in hearing the milestones, seeing
our musicians tell their stories and histories, all to top
it off with a great music event at the end
of the day at Terminus Underground. The music, the artists,
the feeling and atmosphere is why we do what we do.
So glad to know so many of these amazing people
and work with them over the course of their life.
Thank you Matt Connerton and Jen Coffee for being so
amazing and sharing to the world over the airwaves. Love
you all well. Thank you andre that's a wonderful comment.
We really appreciate that.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 1: We're happy to do it, happy to do our part
and uh, you know, this is one of the things
I love to do, is talking to musicians and and
you know, when it's for a great cause, you know,
that's that makes it even better, you know. So so
I love that you're I love that you're doing that,
and you know, and I, like I said, I got
to get bet on the show because I haven't. I
haven't seen that guy in so long. But a lot
of great memories there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And what I said about Andre off Air, you know,
when he approached me and told me what he was
doing with Terminus, it was kind of based on something
that had gotten shut down years ago. He wants an
accessible music venue, something like there was a small club
called mose Isley. It was built into this small area
where bands were rehearsing and getting together. And when Andre said,
this is kind of like the basis is to do
that but amplify it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
Speaker 5: A lot of that, you know, it was the mentality
of someone like Anderson Mahr, who was who's passed a
long time ago now. But yeah, it was always about
bringing bringing the music community together and doing really cool things.
And there's a lot more than people know as far
as the music community all over New England. Yeah, all
friends and we all get along and we all do
stuff like.
Speaker 1: This when you were when you mentioned when we were
talking off air, you mentioned Moseley, and I thought, that's familiar.
I remember Moseley, And then I realized why I remember it.
I actually played at Moseley when I was in Chemical Distance.
I don't know if you remember Kem D. We had
a we had a short run. It wasn't for that long,
but had we played a show at Moseley, and I
remember it being definitely one of the most unique, if
not the most unique venue.
Speaker 5: Play rehearsal spaces, knocked down a wall, built a bar
in the middle. You walked in. It was like a
nightclub in an industrial building.
Speaker 11: Yes.
Speaker 5: Yes, we rehearsed next door at one of the other
sections of the building.
Speaker 1: No kidding.
Speaker 5: It was in the Everett Music Complex.
Speaker 1: I'll be damned. That's such a small world, isn't it.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Or it's a small scene. Yeah, everybody. Everybody really does
kind of know each other or is connected in some way,
you know, one or two degrees of separation. Yeah, Moseley.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When you said it, I was like, oh, it sounds familiar,
and I remember, now that's a Star Wars reference, right.
I'm more of a Trekkie. I never really got much
into Star Wars. But I know that's because if I
remember correctly, Yeah, there was some sort of Star Wars
related theme. Wait, is Moseley the bar with all the
aliens and the first one or the second one?
Speaker 5: I remember which movie?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the same with me. Yeah,
but okay, no that it's it's all coming back to
me now. Yeah, that was a cool place. But see,
so I didn't know that part of it though. I
didn't know that. Like I knew I knew the terminus
because I remember Eleanor explaining it. I knew the connection
to is at the Walking Dead. I knew that part,
but I didn't know that that the inspiration for it
originally was mose Eley. I had no idea.
Speaker 5: I didn't know either. And I saw Andrea at a
show in Lowell at Coto and when he explained that
to me, and when we were talking briefly, and I
was like, Oh, that's pretty cool. That is now we
get to do something cool there.
Speaker 1: That is very very cool. Awesome. Oh hello to b Pinard,
by the way, one of our very loyal listeners who
is in the chat room. Good morning and Carol's the
warow it's also in there good morning, so we will
we'll wrap up the segment with that that track from
Jimmy half Dad and the dialogues. But uh, the other
thing too, I want to make sure people know because
you know, we talked a lot about the show tonight,
I want to encourage people to attend that. Also, Uh,
where should people go to?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Where's the best place to go to keep up with
everything you're doing?
Speaker 5: You can find us on Instagram and Facebook at devil
inside us d e v l y n S y
d U S. We don't have a dot com anymore.
We feel like that didn't really bring in a lot
of traffic dot com and uh, we're not on TikTok
oh Okay, I don't fully trust it. It's new to
me and I'm a very simple dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I haven't done much with it myself actually,
to be honest with you, Like, I have a TikTok account,
but I haven't really done much with it. But very
cool and uh, and you're very googleable, you know, type in,
type in your name. Although the good thing that's one
of the good things too about having a really unique name,
you know, Yeah, it's easy to google, and it's extraordinarily
unlikely that somebody else is going to pop up that
another band, or somebody's gonna pop up with the same name.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's important, especially when it pops up on like
fagelovers Dot. You know, my friends from high school that
are jugglers, or some people who've seen us play with Twisted,
they're like, oh my god, you're on this website. Yeah,
but I mean, so's Billy those.
Speaker 1: Guys exactly exactly. So we'll end with this track this
is We're Love? Am I saying that right?
Speaker 5: That's that's how it was sent to me. I wonder
if it's.
Speaker 1: Where Love it's w E R E dash l O
ve so I guess that's it. But yeah, Jimmy Half
Dead and the Dialogues they're the headliner at the show
