Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh, there's something about that beat, dude. That snare is so nuts. In the warehouse. St. Anger's snare, but it sounds dope. Between Aaron and him for the best mosher's in the band, too. We're both sick-assed moshes. But Aaron is a hard mosher. Lewis is a fluid mosher.
Starting point is 00:00:19 A fluid mosher. He's great. He's like a dancer. Whenever I need music gear, I always go to sweetwater.com.

Starting point is 00:00:58 and i i definitely was like i'm gonna get like fucked up for saying these words Because they might Bucked up lyrics, huh? Mine weren't the worst, but it's definitely about killing and holding someone in a bathtub and just like showering in their blood. That's heavy.
Starting point is 00:01:22 It's pretty dark shit. You kind of expected that, though, without that. Yeah, for sure. Definitely. Your part is so sick, dude. Thanks. I recorded it in my bedroom. Did you really?
Starting point is 00:01:33 You serious? With your setup? Yeah, I got a little seven. I actually didn't even recognize your vocals at first. So you did, so you tracked it in your room, but what about the video? Oh, they just kind of called me randomly. And I was chilling my baby. They were like, yo, we're in Wilkes-Barre filming a video.
Starting point is 00:01:55 And I was like, that's what's up. I did it really expect. They're like, can you come do the part? And it's like a two-hour drive. Yeah. And I'm like, fuck it. Yeah, I'll come. him up there.
Starting point is 00:02:07 So me and my little man hop in the whip, go drive up there. See, like, my cousin, some family up there. And then we went to an abandoned church. Did they hit you up day of? Yeah. Are you serious? That's what it got.
Starting point is 00:02:22 That's a far shot, too. That's a hard. There was no plan. Hey, we're here doing the video that you did vocals for. You want to come down? Maybe I'll give them the credit and say maybe night before. Okay. Just the case I'm forgetting.
Starting point is 00:02:34 That's still weird. Yeah. It's like, hey, can you normally plan for like, you know, three months in the band? Yeah, of course. Get, like, you know, plane tickets or Uber, you know? You know what, you did the vocals, how hard in advance? Like, I did those, like, mad long ago. And they just decided, like, yo, we want you on the video.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Yeah, I guess the people who were doing the video were like, if he's around, why isn't he in the video? Like, it doesn't make sense. I was like, oh, yeah, it does make sense. So, I just so. Hopped up in there and took the ride. But it was cool because I got to, you know, take him a little man up to the mountain. of Poconos, you know. You have to see a lot of really cool shit that he doesn't see in the city.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Yeah. Like it was the changing of the leaves. Everything was like orange and yellow and shit. Yeah. He was like, trees. I was like, I know, dude. Oh, my goodness. Can you believe it?

Starting point is 00:09:20 Dude, the thing, I was saying, like, there's such like a, all original members. There's such a fine line, though, where it's, like, sick music, but, like, really annoying, like, like, gimmicks and, like, obviously, like, horrible shit. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? I don't know. That's a whole other podcast, though, I guess. You can do a...
Starting point is 00:09:38 Of course. Well, I'm... All right, there's shit flying. But if you ever... What are you doing over there, dude? Nothing, dude. Don't... I coughed a little bit, some shit.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Shout up over our shoulder. It was crazy. The first track on... Oh, pussy is good. What is... What is... Oh, that's a... Oh, it's a...
Starting point is 00:10:02 Okay. Oh, give us a good five seconds. Do this try? This shit's crazy, yeah. Oh. Ready? Then it goes in a blast. Oh, this is sick.
Starting point is 00:10:20 That tempo of blast is something about that tempo of blasting. Yeah, the alternate. It's a sweet spot. You can get out of any drum to some many other. I can not to pretend really well. Same. Yeah. I kill it at Air Drummond. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:34 But he plays, he can drum. Put drum a little bit. I can, yeah, like, I can, I can hold down a beat. I couldn't play a set. But, you know what I mean? But, like, you know, it's like, I can hear something. I can be like, okay, do like a thing or whatever, like a d-beat. Like, we always, me and, me and Lou always talk about, like,
Starting point is 00:10:49 D-beats versus, like, fake and real D-beats where it's like, there's like the, but then there's, like, it's like, have the, you say you're the bass drum is always going. Oh, yeah. Like the real, kind of like the old-school, like. Yeah. Yeah. Versus, like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I mean, you know. Yeah. That's not. Okay. It's very, very, very distinct. It is. That's the real DB shit. And you ask a drummer, it's like, yo, can you play a DB?
Starting point is 00:11:18 And it's like, like, dang. Well, I guess Luz out, right? Yeah, right. Lave's out. Dave's in. That's been crazy. We were talking about that. Like, if, like, Lou broke his leg or some shit, like, who would be the next drummer
Starting point is 00:11:32 line with the band? Like, no one. Do you lose a very important piece to your band because you need a sick drummer, dude. Oh, I mean, if you have a sick drummer, I mean, it's pretty much done. Yeah. I mean, he's also sick, but he also has, like, a very specific way of playing. Like, we've had fillins before, and, well, it was Keith, other than Keith, other than Keith, other than Keith has anyone else filled with drums for a few in mouth now, right?
Starting point is 00:11:55 He did, he did. There's been some guest drummers, Anaya. Yeah, I mean, Anaya and a few other people. Like, in certain, like, songs, but. Yeah, I know. Playing without him, we've played songs and says without him, and it's, like, You can play the song, but it's a stylistically very different thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I don't explain it. Because even, I mean, we wrote our record. It was kind of like this disdointed thing where we had to get other people to help us just to get. Because me and John don't write. This is a whole, sorry, I'm ranting real quick. But like, me and John, right. Let's go. I can't write without a drummer.
Starting point is 00:12:26 I suck at writing by myself. And with, you know, I just, whatever. And Lou lives in New York. We live in Philly. COVID. It was a whole thing. Sure. So we had our friend help us out.
Starting point is 00:12:35 And he's a very like... Tyler. Yeah. Shadda, Tyler, Washington, foreign hands, excite. But like, he's a very, like, I don't want to say traditional, but, you know, you think of like a metal core metal drummer.
Starting point is 00:12:48 It's like, you know, very like... Very, like, straightforward. He's also a guitarist, which really came in handy with the writing. But I'm saying stylistically, like, Lou has this, like, kind of, like, looseness to it. Whereas, like, he doesn't have, like, the... He doesn't think, like, I remember, I think it was.
Starting point is 00:13:05 this only self we are like live like the like you're right trying to cough but like you know like you know like the classic like you kind of like open up a set or something it's like that like that oh yeah like a do go do or whatever yeah he like doesn't think like like like we said open he's got too much style for like a normal metal drum yeah like he plays with a certain amount of swing to where yeah it doesn't necessarily give off he's trying too hard he just has the swagger when he plays. A lot of swag. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Like, he just goes, shit ton of swag. Like, when old heads would be like, you got boxy. Like, that, that motherfucker's got boxy covered out of his ears.
Starting point is 00:13:45 You could watch it too. Honestly, a better drum cam set, I feel like is Detroit, the 8-5-6 Detroit set. Mm-hmm. Because, like, that is like newer songs.
Starting point is 00:13:55 We didn't practice before this set. Yeah, we always never practiced. Jake, can you, can you pull it up, please? It's Detroit.
Starting point is 00:14:02 It's the summer of 2022. It's Detroit. Oh, so it's recent. Yeah, tied down Fess. Tied down Fess, yeah. Shout to that Fess is awesome too. That show was crazy. That was like one of the best run,
Starting point is 00:14:12 best feeling sets ever. And Fess. I felt like vocally that day like my fucking, I felt husky dog. Also, if you like... Husky? So there's a drum...
Starting point is 00:14:23 There's a drum cam. You're jacked up, dude. That's a... There's a drum cam to it. Just tell you, I would just type in Detroit because he doesn't do it by... Detroit Scroll down
Starting point is 00:14:37 Is it like two more Three more up or something Are you looking for the drum Did he release it? Yeah yeah it's on there I would take out tied down Because he doesn't put He doesn't put
Starting point is 00:14:47 He's a Detroit Drum Yeah there we go Boom There it is Oh there we go Let's go That and the snare is great
Starting point is 00:14:55 On this Get the kid up here Louis you not here right now I love you baby Wherever you at in this world Yeah Oh there's something about that dude.
Starting point is 00:15:08 The snare sounded cool. Snare in the warehouse. St. Anger's snare, but it sounds dope. No, way better than that. What can a scenario is that? That one he's using as pork pie, but we just got... Is that the pork pie? No, that's the pork pie.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Is it? Or maybe not. It looks clear. It looks kind of orange because of the lighting, but he got an SJC kid. No, that's SJC. Is it? Yeah. The pool pie's been sent in my house for a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Oh, okay. Then yeah, SJC, you got acrylic. Yeah. Sick, dude. He has a full clear acrylic, acrylic. acrylic kit and it sounds so... It does so good. Okay, where did you find this guy?
Starting point is 00:15:42 I mean, he's been our... Yeah, I mean, he's been our friend. He's laughing. We scouted them. Let's hear. What? They found him first. You found him?
Starting point is 00:15:51 Well, there's no finding. It was just, like, he was a friend. I mean, we were all living in the Lehigh Valley. He was, like, just a friend. Yeah, I mean, like, we all knew each other or whatever. And then, I forget what the catalyst was, because we actually didn't like each other. Really?
Starting point is 00:16:07 Yeah. I mean, like, I was in, like, metal and metal core and shit. And he, he is punk. Like, he came from punk.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Like, you never listened to, like, metal core, death, nothing, nothing like that. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:16:21 But he liked, like, devourment. Like, legit, he liked very specific, like, really heavy shit,
Starting point is 00:16:26 you know, and, like, moshing. He loves, also, it's a competition between Aaron and him for the best moshes in the band,
Starting point is 00:16:33 too. We're both sick-ass mosh. Yeah. But Aaron is a hard mosher. Lewis is a is a fluid, a fluid mosher. A fluid mosher. He's like, he's like a dancer. Yeah, he's not trying to kill anymore.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Yeah, Lou's got just flat out style in the pit. I love it. But me, I got style, but I'm not moving around a little bit. He's trying to fuck some people up. I like doing spin kicks. Are you still in there, dude? Sometimes. Maybe, like, maybe.
Starting point is 00:17:03 I think the last time you mosh was when we put, When I was playing, with me and John were playing with Cedar Paine? Yeah, yeah. They were filling with Seahos' band. This is hardcore. And I was like, well, fuck me. So he's in a band called Ced of Payne,
Starting point is 00:17:13 but he was on tour with his other band, Magnitude. So me and John filled in for this is hardcore and Aaron Moshed. Yeah, it came through. With the heat. It's like, show young boys how I get the fuck down.
Starting point is 00:17:25 This is how you fucking do it. Straight up, but show him what's up sometimes. But we hated, we hated each other, and then we became friends. We worked at guitar center together. and then we became friends
Starting point is 00:17:36 us three. Well, it was me and him and that's how we kind of got tight and then you guys you came in and there was a very small time period where all three of us worked but then I had to quit because I was touring and then this was way before G's B's. Well not way, I mean what three years, two years
Starting point is 00:17:52 and then yeah that's how we there was no finding we're all friends and I knew him from you know it was all like me it was it was me and Lou and then we just kind of all went like we all kind of came together Your psycho energy brains is like, hide mind, dude, and then Jesus' peace is born.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yeah, it was born out of the ashes. I still remember the first practice? I was like, hey, what were you guys? Like, we had all kind of crossed paths over the years, you know what I mean? Like, just playing in little metal bands in Pennsylvania or Eastern Pennsylvania and going to shows in Jersey, you know, Wilkeshire, Philadelphia. year but we never really like let's all be buddies you know what I mean I was trying to jam with him for for John forever but it was never never like happened like I mean we're only the two
Starting point is 00:18:44 years apart but difference between you know a 20 year old and an 18 year old and like I feel like it's like high school versus out versus like whatever and and he was I mean I don't want to speak on behalf of you but I feel like our music tastes were pretty different at the time I'll say different I mean we just had our own things going like Like I had like a couple bands going at the time and like I just, I don't know. Yeah, but we tried. When we try to jam. Like we try, but like we, when this happened, huh?
Starting point is 00:19:10 Like, what, what, what, I was, like, more metalcore into then, actually a band that he was in. It was, like, grind, like, heavy grind power balance kind of stuff. Yeah. But, uh, we just like. I'm saying, bull. I'm saying before that way before. Nothing right. Well, I mean, that was.
Starting point is 00:19:26 I'm saying when we tried to. Oh, okay. Like, I'm talking like. Oh, yeah. When we just, like, hit the practice base and, like, try to, like, like, right. some lips together, yeah. But, I don't know. When the timing was right.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Yeah. Yeah, straight up. Timing's a big thing, dude. It is. It really was. So, he will be like, oh, no, I hate you. And then, like, a few years later, I would be in a man together, you know?
Starting point is 00:19:45 It was just, like, so many talented people in that general area, but nobody was doing anything. You know, all of our friends were good at instruments, but nothing was happening. You know, it was kind of sad to see. Yeah, Philly, like, what, I mean, like, the hardcore scene out there is popping. you guys are pissed
Starting point is 00:20:02 Oh yeah And what's I mean What are you guys drinking Like what's in the water dirt You guys fucking pissed That's just the East Coast So

Like, they cut between, like, uh, like the cops, like trying to, like, they're like, yeah, like the subway and the cops are like hitting people and shit.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Dude. It's so sick. But, yeah, I downloaded this concert, like, online. And I was, like, I watched this shit sometimes. I don't Sherwin's been at those recent fest where they've been playing. They sound good. Really? Sounds good.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Pantera. I know, man. Phil sounds amazing. this is such a great addition to a podcast is having like a guy just google everything watch videos and shit well dudes i mean i'm still you guys be here apparently you guys almost didn't make it our our band was stolen yesterday that's all and stole our fucking bad yo what were you sleeping or what i mean we were sleeping it must have been in a span of like five or six hours yeah we weren't sleeping that long that's it we pulled up to the crib at 2 30 yeah and we
Starting point is 00:24:27 woke up at 8.30. Yeah, I woke up at 8.30. I was like, oh shit, someone took the van, I guess. Maybe Dave got the wheel changed. I was like, and Dave was sleeping. I was like, bro, did you move the van? He was like, no, why? I'm like, let me just go double check.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Maybe like, I'm like still waking up. And yeah, it was not there. Check the air tags. Yeah, luckily we have some trackers in that van, so we were able to find it pretty quickly. But that would have been the swift end of the store. That's your biggest fear. It is, man.
Starting point is 00:24:57 story. We've never had it happen to us. We're really good about it. And the one day we didn't put our trailer locks on, boom. They got it. They got our asses. They must have been following us. I swear. They must have been. That's my theory. Is that they followed us from the venue?
Starting point is 00:25:13 Who knows? I would not be surprised. People are desperate out there, dude. I mean, I never know who's watching. If you're listening, I'm a beat your ass. Okay, so, So you had air tags in the van and then you look, okay, it's eight minutes away. And then, and then what happens? We literally brought him in a park.
Starting point is 00:25:36 And we took an Uber there. And it was parked. Parked very nicely like on the side of curb like in the neighborhood. Yeah. Why? There's two, what's that? No, I was going to let you go with that one. Well, there's two theories.
Starting point is 00:25:50 One was an air tag when you're not, it's not yours. Like, if you have an iPhone, it says an air tag is following you, so they got spooked. or I said something on Twitter asking about like a mechanic or whatever and someone was said like and I was pissed so I said something else but like they were like I guess guys like will
Starting point is 00:26:06 they'll take something they'll steal a car they'll park it up wait like a day to see if someone gets it because air tags are a thing now and then if they don't they scrap it what the fuck really? Yeah apparently that's like the that's like
Starting point is 00:26:20 because someone else was saying if I don't I mean who fucking knows but if like if you say it to a hop or whatever like yo I have an air tag in there and show them they can like legally like that's a warrant like that's a warrant I guess yeah so they can do that if they would have taken the van back to wherever they were doing that like it would have been fucked yeah like because we would have busted that you what I mean like we would find out everything they're doing so it's actually smart I would have bought a gun down the street I had a big ass knife in my bag I would keep it really
Starting point is 00:26:49 pimp oh my goodness I was so hung over and I was not happy about the situation I'll tell you that but I just didn't want anybody to get hurt and nobody did. Thankfully, I kind of, I mean, obviously that's a terrible way to start your day and then, but I mean... Don't steal from us. Especially on an off day.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Yeah, I wanted to I wanted to chill so bad. You're supposed to go to a gym. Go to a spa. We didn't get to chill until 2 p.m. That's, it could have been I could have been so much worse. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:27:21 It could have been worse. I mean. I mean, shit, well, obviously, the reason why you're here and you have a band in trailer that you just got back I mean you're on tour right now with a show me in a body which is an incredible band. You like it?
Starting point is 00:27:37 I've been on steps with that band lately. Do a banjo? Dude, I feel like people like either love or hate it. Love it. And you know what? It's like we've played shows of them before and the music's very interesting but I don't I wouldn't catch myself listening to it live but they're set I don't know if you're coming tonight. Their set
Starting point is 00:27:53 is so sick because I don't know, I told Julianness and stuff, and like, they, joins a singer, but like, this is like a nerd thing to say, and I feel like you could understand. Like, the flow of their set is perfect. Like, they pick the right way to kind of like have the dips and waves and have like the energetic songs with, because they have like more ballity songs and stuff. And the flow is perfect. To like to get the crowd psyched. Then they like kind of like dip it down a little bit. They come back.
Starting point is 00:28:21 It's really good. It's nicely curated for sure. Oh, it's really awesome. they're sick also yeah also yeah i mean as people too they're fucking awesome i love harland love jackie too um well yeah literally all of them great guys so there's their overall is the sick fucking man dude what's that dude look julian the fader of the bottom right what is that he looks so funny no not fantano right the next to it he looks that one is that him is that a julya look like oh no that's that's what dude that looks so weird bro it does not look like that is that it's
Starting point is 00:28:51 really funny he like doesn't look like that anymore that's really funny well apparently I mean this tour and took what three years to fucking happen yeah well no I mean they did not we've always talked to them but this is our this is our first non this is our first non rescheduled tour back mm oh I thought this was rescheduled from like the code orange no this is completely this is just separate from new oh wow okay happened that's the perfect time for all these bands too straight oh yeah we haven't tour the US in like four years timing Zulu records coming out Friday I think scowls comes out in like two weeks and ours comes out in like a month and a half.
Starting point is 00:29:25 No, the little one came out today. Today? It's on Friday. No, no. Yeah, it's on Friday. Yeah, since we're already on the subject, your record comes out May 14th. April 14th. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm 37. I still not know my months. That's okay. I don't. That's all right. So I always go confused May and April. I always do that.

Starting point is 00:29:56 Good push. Appreciate you. Okay, so your band is a perfect example because it happened in me. You only have two seconds. You only have two seconds to get someone's attention. And I was scrolling my IG. This is how I found you guys. And you just, you guys just dropped an offering to the night.
Starting point is 00:30:18 And literally, I'm scrolling. I see the real. I heard the two seconds. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, boom. Also, like, they got to be on the podcast. Yeah, hell, yeah. And that, and that's it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:30 DB. That's the DB. That's the drum music. That's it. That's it. That's it. We, and the thing is, we didn't want to do a normal whatever. And when we were recording it or when writing or whatever, that we were like, let's do a D.B.
Starting point is 00:30:40 That's literally too fast. Yeah. And that's what, so it's literally, like, he's actually doing the, the fast bass bass. Oh, wow. Well, we have a badass drummer, so you got to fucking, you've got to utilize it, you know? Yeah, the singles you've been dropping Got three so far I mean people are jamming it
Starting point is 00:30:59 I hope so Yeah Put a lot of work on this record Yeah It's been Yeah You could tell because I mean Your last record came out
Starting point is 00:31:06 2018 What there is what like Like a five years span Yeah There was a big break What were you guys doing For five years? You know
Starting point is 00:31:14 All kinds of shit Yeah I like to not go back Yeah Right Yeah For a little bit I was playing bass
Starting point is 00:31:21 With nothing and I was going back and forth between the two touring So a lot of the times There would be a lot of scheduling issues And then on top of that You know quarantine and then I had a fucking baby Which is awesome shout out to my kid
Starting point is 00:31:36 Leo Theo sickest dude ever So there was just a lot of shit happening Life, you know life None of the less Yeah I mean me and Dave like We didn't really have much time to write together
Starting point is 00:31:50 And we were like in between spaces too practice spaces I'll be honest you I was just insanely depressed oh yeah for quarantine and stuff it sucks like a little bit before that we had major writers block and we were just like really fuck yeah I mean yeah because we didn't
Starting point is 00:32:05 I don't know we still know what's going on yeah I don't I mean I it's like there's so much to talk about so I want to get too deep into it but it's like for specifically with music though like for me like in us and during quarantine like for our music like you you know you can make a comparison since we're fans of whatever, but ultimately when I try and write, I don't have like a
Starting point is 00:32:25 oh, like I listen to this band so I want to do this or I like want to worship this type of sound or whatever. So that makes it harder to write. You know what I mean? And both of us like were like, what's our net? We were literally, I remember being in my bedroom being in my bedroom and be like what's our what's the vibe for our next record? Because we didn't want to do
Starting point is 00:32:41 only self again. Yeah. And so that on top of the quarantine, on top of like, you know, other stuff outside of the band and within the band honestly like it was just it was so tough so yeah I mean it was just like a very for like two years we literally maybe wrote like four riffs what yeah as a for band for as a band and then like i forget where we were but me and john kind of like you know he was still nothing uh Lewis lives in new was living in New York and still lives in New York but um we were kind of just like
Starting point is 00:33:11 separated and like me and John were like we we kind of like had this like we like we like what like you would show me someone like I don't know. I show you something. You're like, I don't know. But for us, I feel like it takes, like, that one riff to be like, this is the new direction. But I'm talking about, like, we had this, like, this kind of like day. I don't know. I can't.
Starting point is 00:33:29 It wasn't some movie thing where it was just like, one day we were like, we have to do it. We need to do it. We need to do it. Oh, yeah. We decided that we need to write it. Us too, we were like, we need to write a record and like, this, this is it. Like, we need to do this for us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:40 And then if it hits, it hits, if it doesn't, it doesn't. But we just need to feel that through. Yeah. Yeah. but yeah that's what five years looks like well I mean it went by fast well I would say more like three
Starting point is 00:33:52 three years because we wrote it so long ago sure I'm already ready to write another record let's go please that's a that's a really good sign to know when if you're done like writing something and then the record's not even out yet you're already thinking about the next one that's usually like a good sign that you're doing something right even if the record you know flop we have a history
Starting point is 00:34:10 with flop records but if you do something right with your band and we talked about timing you know like If it keeps you thinking about the next one, you did, you did, he did something right, you know. Well, I know, yeah, with you, with you guys, I feel like, you know, like the record you guys are coming out with, it's like the, it's like, it's like, I feel like you guys are going to do it a different thing. You went with like tailored and stuff like that and it's like, yeah, seems like it's like it's like a heavier kind of like more like raw vibe too. Yeah. Yeah. So that's sick. I didn't know for timing and like kind of different and like different stuff or whatever. Dude, totally. I tailored did a great job. You know, he's the first producer in years. Maybe. Maybe. even almost two decades that actually trust you know someone's bullshit in that in that world the whole
Starting point is 00:34:51 like producer world and it's nice to have someone I just know bullshit and just trust yeah thank god he he was he was a very uh refreshing is is the word yeah you know you feel good about it I feel good about the whole experience yeah yeah yeah you know again not nice not even out yet ours comes out in March and all we think about the next one I heard the first single that dropped and I was like you know they're fucking doling uh-oh oh And there's talk, and I feel like there's like, like, like, renewed talk for like a lot of like, because it's like, I'm 31 and like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:35:21 I remember I saw you guys when I was 14. And like, it's like a, you know, there's like, yeah. It's in the foundation. You know what I mean? foundational stuff. But yeah. I feel like a lot of younger kids to me now are like, they heard like the new singles and stuff because it's more kind of like, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:35 Taylor's in that, that world and like it's a little more of a raw, yeah, I think we're young, who shout out. Yeah. I think our music needs a little bit of that raw. And I think a lot.
Starting point is 00:35:45 that gets lost with a lot of producers nowadays. Everything's too squeaky. It's tough to find that I think it guys what you did with the new record, because the past three singles I heard, I think it sounds great. Yeah, yeah. Sounds amazing, bro. Randy. Randy LaBuff.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Actually, yeah, our record was the last record done in Machine Shop. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Oh, we're flooded. The Great Flood. The Great Flood. Yeah. Because they all moved. I know Putney moved out before, but the whole studio was still there. I was the first person to record vocals up there.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Really? In the cabin. Yeah, me and Randy locked ourselves away for like a week and just did vocals up there. I made a bunch of biscuits and gravy and shit. Whoa. Yeah, me and Randy straight up just kicked back and just relaxed and wrote the record. It was awesome. So did you guys already track the music first and then you went in the cabin?
Starting point is 00:36:39 That's the cool, that's an interesting way to do. Well, it was just him actually. My kid and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, interesting. I didn't bring him up, but, you know, I didn't want to have to take away time if I didn't need to yet. You know, so I left it in their hands to take care of the music. But it was also one of those things where we started to talk about a flood.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Originally, we had, like, the classic month blocked out for like, you know, do that whole thing. But the studio got flooded and it was a whole thing. So we actually, it was like we did like a week on, week off, week on, week off. And we had to push it back because the studio was like the bottom. Because you guys record, yeah, you guys were there, right? In there. Yeah. Like the bottom, there's like a bottom thing and that was just totally
Starting point is 00:37:17 Like three feet of water. Yeah, it was gone. So there was one control room the whole, you know what I mean? Rather than like the two or three that they usually have. Because they do more than one of me. Yeah, so we had to do this whole split up thing. It was hell, but also kind of worked out for us. Because I mean, Dave is the type that he could have lasted the whole month.
Starting point is 00:37:33 But like for me and Lou, I think we would have went crazy. Yeah. We just need to be like stimulated all the time. And like, I was like in that day like, I mean, we did guitarist for like what? like a week straight or something and I was about to lose my mind. Like I needed to like leave that studio and like do something else. It's dark in there. There's like not a lot of natural light in there.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Oh yeah. Almost none, dude. Andy did our first ride. He's of legend too. Andy. He was in weekend nachos. Yeah, weekend nachos. Yeah, weekend nachos goes hard.
Starting point is 00:38:00 You probably would fuck a weekend nachos if you ever heard of one before. No. Yeah, listen to weekend nachos, man. Very sad. You cannot, yeah. Wait, so this is a band or a crew? No, yeah, it's a band. It's a band.
Starting point is 00:38:10 It's a ban. Weekend nachos. They have like, they're like, usually like power violence, power grindy, but like, okay. But, but they have a song, the BleedyP, you would fuck your Bleepy P. Yeah, Bleepy is crazy. Yeah, it's two tracks, 50 minutes long. Dude, that was one of the heaviest records I've ever bought. And I just got it because I was like, oh, I love weekend nonchos.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Yeah, dude. I put it on and I was like, what, dude? I'm about to listen to that today. Yeah, we need to. That shit is nuts. Is it weekend? Like the weekend? or is it weekend like you're weak?
Starting point is 00:38:43 No weekend. You're having a good time on the weekend. Okay. Weeking nachos. Eat some nachos. People used to hate on that name. Yeah, I hated it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:52 They put out a seven inch like in the shape of a nacho back in the day. No. I used to always try to find it on like discogs and chip, but I can never get my hands on it. Oh. Yeah. Yes. And this is not what they normally sound like. That's why it's so sick.
Starting point is 00:39:07 It's just two songs of this. But this song, it's six minutes of just this. That's it. That's a sick riff. That's all you need, though. That's a sick riff. It's hard as shit. When the vocals finally kick in?
Starting point is 00:39:20 Yeah, he has crazy vocals. It makes me feel like a little top of the leg. Yeah. I feel strong. Straight up. Oh, my God. Dude, that's why I like this music. Whatever it makes me feel like,
Starting point is 00:39:33 oh. It gives me this like animalistic feeling. Yeah. When the song is finally like. And then towards the end, they start going. then and so it's like this single note
Starting point is 00:39:45 at the end it's like they just chug it out dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun you just want to like I wonder they must have played this live right I don't know I can ask Andy I'm sure there's a video I'm trying to think if I ever seen it play it right
Starting point is 00:39:57 so where is this band from Chicago? Chicago okay yeah but they broke up Owago it's I mean Parm's Way members were in it and then the singer now does
Starting point is 00:40:11 spine. Spine, is sick too. Yeah. Is he in Spine now? Yeah. The singer is the drummer
Starting point is 00:40:18 for a spine. Spine's crazy. Oh, the drummer. That's a strange. That's like old school, hardcore. But just a lot of blast beats, too, though. A lot of blast beats?
Starting point is 00:40:25 Yeah. I like blasting. Fuck, yeah. I love that. I love blast beats. Okay, so you guys do, you guys recorded the new record. Whose idea was it
Starting point is 00:40:35 to have, like, the separate tracking where it's like, we're gonna do like the classic month or week on, we got, record the music and then we're gonna send Aaron off on this is kind of how it goes all the time normally Randy wanted to do the vocals throughout
Starting point is 00:40:52 because so his vocals wouldn't get fucked up we just had to do it that way but we did the first time we tracked the drums last yeah we pre-proed with program drums yeah and then Lou went back and like didn't his thing yeah because because the thing is he's so good at digital like to program it that we pretty much like rewrote not rewrote but like we we tracked the record we'd like spent a week going through riff by riff every single one and then he programmed it and the same time
Starting point is 00:41:23 to save time it sounded real or shit which is nuts yeah and then we recorded because the whole thing is and that's why also vocals we wanted to sprinkle one because to randy and this is so true it's like during drums last think about like okay you you know do the drums first then you're like but wait that fit like a vocal could be really cool in that part but there's a little bit like a vocal could be really cool in that part but Phil there. You can't take it out. No. You're not going to re-record it. Take up too much time. And doing it that way I was like, that is so true.
Starting point is 00:41:49 But you need someone who's good at like programming drums with him. Yeah, it'd be hard as shit. Yeah, and you'd be fucking sick at that. Yeah, he was doing it. Yeah, he was like, can you change his fill? He was like, yeah. I was watching it at the one time and also. Here's my eye.
Starting point is 00:42:03 It's like changing the velocities. And it's like, it's like, wait, there's a swing on this. Oh my goodness. He's really good. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, knots. How did you like that experience, Aaron? What, going up there? Yeah, going up dinner. To be honest,
Starting point is 00:42:17 I had, well, the experience itself was beautiful. It's, like, out there in the middle of fucking nowhere, like North Pennsylvania, New Jersey area up there. And it was deer out there every morning and shit. It was, like, chilling. I really needed that, you know? A lot going on.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Yeah. But getting back into the studio after so long was, like, insanely anxiety-inducing. Like, I, I almost never get anxiety when it comes to the vocals and what we do is a band. But for some reason, coming back, I was definitely like a little weirded out by it. So, I mean, it took me a little bit of time to just relax and get the flow of things going. And once that happened, it was off to the races, you know.
Starting point is 00:43:01 And I tried a new technique. I was recording sitting down. That was fucking weird. Was that anything? No, Dylan from Full of Hell told me. me to do that shit. I mean, if there's anyone to trust about vocals. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Bro, that dude. I was sitting down, players. Yeah. So I did that and it allowed me to relax so much and get the sounds that I was looking for and the sounds that I felt like the song really called for. Because, you know, I'd like to keep things like a low range to mid-range, but I've had the range to do more and I just, for some reason,
Starting point is 00:43:36 never did it with this band. So a lot of the parts I heard, I was like, I guess now's the time. No time, dude. Isn't there a story about, like, you read, like, a comment or something? Oh, yeah, he's got no range. Some bitch-ass reporter. He wrote us his beautiful review.
Starting point is 00:43:51 I was like, yeah. And he's like, well, I mean, the singer doesn't really have any range, though. I was like... Oh, I just added a fucking... Who the fuck? I'm not going to lie. You export range on the record, but live, though, I like what you're... I'd be fucking around.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Dude, at the end of Conjury life, you're like, yeah. We always fuck around and switch up. songs when we play live. So sometimes like a normal ass like punk or like hardcore sounding song and just is very death metal out of nowhere. Or vice versa. Yeah. Like a groove part.
Starting point is 00:44:21 We turn into like a faster part. I got to get that guttural mic though. Yo. We've been trying to put Dave on third mic so you can do gutt rolls over there all the slams. Dude. Come on. That's what I said. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:44:32 This sounds like a great idea. Get a quick break in there. Can you imagine like the stage plot like guttero mic? Dude, the gutterle mic. Dude, I did you. We were talking, we need the, we need the headset mics. Oh, he's, because he does backups or whatever. And like, it's sometimes, like, people will be diving, it'll be getting crazy or whatever.
Starting point is 00:44:52 And, like, we just started doing, like, wireless guitar stuff, like, wireless, you know, guitar. So, like, just, like, move around and just do, like, headset mics while, like, Aaron is singing and we're just, like, doing our parts. Can we get him on, please? Or just, like, or funny mosh calls while we're just walking around. That would be mad funny. Honestly, like, you guys can't even have mic stams because, I mean, looking for, from your stage shows, they always get knocked over. Oh, yeah. Dude, especially this one's been the worst of that.
Starting point is 00:45:19 It's been a problem, yeah. They're for show most of the time, I feel like. What year is this? 2017, maybe. What venue is this? This is the electric factory in Philadelphia. Frankl's music hall. Also, they change the name.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Yeah. Yeah. Your shows are fucking nuts, dude. Short hair, bro. Damn. Dumb, no beer? No beer. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Damn, sass, you look different. Tide! Was there a year or Xavier filled in for you guys? Not this is our core. No, that was the- Peter. Yo, shout out Peter Rono real quick. That's my fucking man.
Starting point is 00:45:57 He sings Red Band Calnashi. That's my fucking dog. He was not on time for anything, go. No one ever. No one is on time. I can't even like. Every time I go, I'll let you do it. Just be on time.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I was like, I got it. That's not true. Dude, Kayla in Atlanta. Wow. Shout out to Kayla, though. Look at Dom.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Oh, this is chaos. There's so many people in this video that, like, we could, like, go on about their bands and, like,
Starting point is 00:46:25 who they are forever, and they're all sick. Dom Pabone, Similacra, you would fuck with Simi Lacka? Hard, death metal, hardcore.

Starting point is 00:47:43 I watched this man dislocate his elbow, his shoulder, go back in the pit and mosh with one arm. Oh my goodness. He's also the only person who's ever filled in
Starting point is 00:47:51 for us on vocals. Yes. Oh yeah. In Texas. Yeah. He used to do like merch first and shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:57 But Xavier's in gridiron that's another like band from Pia that's going crazy. You would fuck a gridiron. Oh my goodness. I have old paper now. Yeah. Listen, bro.
Starting point is 00:48:07 give you all I will first of all I'll give you a there but also I just want to shout out every like dope band you sure this is where to fucking do it man I filled in for Simulacro for two shows and they were the hardest songs I ever had to learn on yeah it's it's dude yeah I mean you can talk about it but like
Starting point is 00:48:23 because I filled in for another band that we're both kind of in that Xavier is in and the riffs he writes are literally like I don't know how to explain like the second you're up on the first fret you're already on the 11th fret on the next the next yeah and nothing repeats yeah oh my goodness
Starting point is 00:48:38 it was a lot of brain power but it'll be like that and it'll just be like done done done like hard you know so yeah it's great though but that's the kind of shit these kids from Delaware
Starting point is 00:48:48 and Pennsylvania is ever pumping out right now like it's just insane there's like there's a whole like I said that record label there's also from within like there's a whole there is this like scene
Starting point is 00:48:58 of like underground bands that like I feel like people fuck with but like there's like I don't know people like well I need more
Starting point is 00:49:07 extreme music and heavy music whatever and it's like there's like this like amalgamation of just like hard music that people like if you know you know if you don't you don't but like i want people to know yeah it's like it's good shit still underground like you know people need to look for it and dom low key has some of the best vocals i've heard recently really yeah there's like again a touch of aggression that's needed in your voice it can't all be technique for me yeah he's got that shit for yeah i mean he's he's all raw fuck yeah Yeah. And like, I mean, you know, he could tell his story, but like his lyrics too and the things he's like gone through and stuff. It's like real like he just real shit. It's sick. But like. Brezzo, one of the best drummers I know. Another one. Straight up. He's he's an example of a really great mechanical drummer. You know what I'm saying? Like Lewis kind of has that looseness, that style. Yeah. Breza is like. Machine too. Like so. I don't know. In the pocket. Yeah. You know what this? This explains a lot about your band because you're just surrounded. by like the sickest
Starting point is 00:50:09 heaviest shit and you guys you guys are pretty much forced to be sick you know it does a lot dude if you're surrounded by great bands which we were I mean back in a day
Starting point is 00:50:20 and like it just makes you something there's something about it it just makes you better you know and sounds corin it's same but I guess iron sharpens iron you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:50:30 it's true yeah I want to be I want to be dope with everyone else yeah you know dude totally Keith's one of the dopest moshers ever Oh, we almost ate shit There's kicks
Starting point is 00:50:42 There's people being punched And there's hugs Yeah Eric Wolf Yeah shout out walk one time Old school Eric And what's also fucking sick about you guys
Starting point is 00:50:54 Is like you're I mean You're obviously heavy as fuck People throw around Like the word beat down too much But you guys have your own sound I don't know what it is We are on record rejecting that name That later
Starting point is 00:51:06 Everyone claims that we're a beat down there. That war's been around since like I was like a kid. You say beat down, I think bulldoze. You know what I mean? That's the world of beat down and that sound, you know. You can have some slam parts, that's what's-clam. It's more slam. Yeah, like I would look, that's where we-
Starting point is 00:51:25 I mean, quite literally me and Lewis met up at a practice way said, let's write a song that sounds like baby killer. Oh wow. You know. That explains a lot. Like that was like what we wanted. wanted to do we just ended up we are also like hardcore punk so that's what happened but I'm saying like that's what I mean that's where all the syncopated did that done to with like the
Starting point is 00:51:44 ride bell stuff and the you know standard tuning yeah yeah vendors gipsons fender Gibson yeah yeah we always go back I see it I fucking hear it you can't fuck with fender Gibson still dude still if you have something to drink over there playing like some sort of flavored beverage Oh. Are you talking beer? Also, if, if, can we, can we, can we, can we get some, can we get some hynicans? And it may be a liquid death, non-gas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Yeah. Yeah. I'm good. I'm definitely gonna have some hyniquin. Also for, for bands to, I want to shout out just because like, dude, this man right here, Ced of Pain. Cedar pain. Cedar pain. Magnitude.
Starting point is 00:52:28 What are we got? Carbonite. Moment of truth. You would fuck a moment of truth. Yeah. How? You're talking about heavy shit? Dude, he's feeling for two bands on this tour.
Starting point is 00:52:39 You know this, right? Yeah. He's playing guitar and scow, and he's playing bass for us. Are you serious? Back to fucking back for 38 shows. I'm trying to get paid. How in your neck, dude? You're all right, man? He's rolling with a corpse grinder by it.
Starting point is 00:52:50 It's catching up to me, for sure, physically. But both bands are fun. Thanks, X. It's two different styles, so I get to, like, play some breakdowns with Jesus piece, but also play some fast punk stuff with Scowl. I got some just like, dude, badass. Yeah, it's fun.
Starting point is 00:53:04 And like, I'm a guitar player first, so that one, like, is a little, it's like a different fun for me. Aaron, what are you doing over there, dude? I'm dropping shit. Oh, thank you. You're welcome, Chan. Loki, I don't know how to use the lighter trick. For real? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I'll teach you right now on the podcast. Okay, thank you. Yeah, I mean, I think I always saw you on bass or whatever. I assumed you were a bassist, but he came over to my house one time just that we were just, like, going to, you know, mess around. And he, uh, he started playing acoustic guitar. I was like, well, Whoa. Yeah, I was playing,
Starting point is 00:53:36 I remember the song, too. I was trying to impress you in that moment. I learned how to play fireflies on guitar with, like, the K-po. Fireflies by Owl City. It's just like, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah, but either way, it's like, finger-picking. I was like, wait, hold up, you could, that's your vibe?
Starting point is 00:53:56 Yeah, it's an electronic song. I just want, I just want D that like me right now. You know, I'm going to fucking blow it to me. Yeah, you did. He did. He did. I mean, I have one shot to impress him.
Starting point is 00:54:07 He also learned the whole set like a week before. Yeah. But, but, but, I mean, Cidap is my favorite, for sure.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Yeah. Like, Moment of Truth is like the heavy. I mean, we, if you want to go on YouTube and type in, I mean, Moment of Truth is,
Starting point is 00:54:18 this is what Moment Truth is doing, but, um, uh, Japanese Mosh style too. Oh, yeah. I mean, hell yeah,
Starting point is 00:54:24 that's, yeah, that's, yeah, that's the heavy stuff, but MoMAs is the heavy stuff. But Cepo, it's like,
Starting point is 00:54:29 ringworm integrity stuff and that's my that's my shit like that's my favorite kind of hardcore but uh this is the man where's integrity from cleveland clevo clevo hardcore straight up that's like i don't know do that whole list of man like that's my shit all good shit there's so many sick bands out there yeah there's too many sick vans a lot that don't show up on those like spotify metal band of the week playlists you know like there's a lot of you just got to do a lot of a lot of research and just click people to like go to the labels yeah yeah dude that's dude you know and so so lou um he's really in electronic music and then like all this stuff and and i mean we all are but you know what i mean like in that world of of electronic music the way i find stuff and like
Starting point is 00:55:13 he finds stuff is like you go through labels you go through like you look at a lot of labels and you kind of see what that was and i feel like that was an old school thing to do back you know earache back in the day and like whatever and i feel like that's and that's why i mentioned like look up day's Because I feel like from within records And before that plead your case records Which is our friend Lennon's old label and stuff And it's like you can just find Like that's such a good way to find like
Starting point is 00:55:35 Because now Because I feel like for a while there was like this like Wasteland of like you know These bigger labels who would just like kind of like Pick guys up and it worked a work to work it didn't Whereas like these days from within pleader case There was some other ones but Hey Jay
Starting point is 00:55:49 Scheme records Yeah Jay pull up Scheme Oh scheme scheme Yeah Hey Jay pull up scheme records Please but uh
Starting point is 00:55:56 it's actually the record the guy who runs scheme records is his birthday today Kyle Nile so shout out oh shit I wrote that happy birthday but you know what I mean like you like you go to this and you kind of see seven inches
Starting point is 00:56:08 and all this kind of stuff I don't know scheme as much as like all my they're like newer but yeah but like day's records it's run by this dude lumpy and he was in King 9 and sanction if you fuck with them if you have it was a sanctioned dude that shit scheme
Starting point is 00:56:20 we got wreckage yeah wreckage just put out a LP they're from Connecticut they're Yeah, echo chamber. Echo chamber from Germany. Germany. So yeah, and like with this dude, like, this is more like kind of like straightforward, kind of like nine, what do you say like 90s, 80 style kind of hardcore.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Daze has a little more of like a metal core metal thing and then from within our friend SIG he like does like kind of everything in between. But that's what I'm saying like all these labels like kind of look through that. You know what I mean? I think that's a like we're getting home and that weekend in Philadelphia there's a, from within showcase at this church or whatever. So it's just like, yeah. Yeah, I'm playing in five of those bands.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Yeah, he's playing five sets that weekend. Yeah, like after the, you get back from the tour and I go immediately back to Philly, no practice, just play the five sets. Holy moly, yeah. I just like to rock, I don't know. You are a talented young man. Yeah, sanction. Mark's sanction down, bro. If you never listen to that band.
Starting point is 00:57:17 That shit is crazy. That's 08 right there, 08 deathcore. Absolutely. In a good way. Yeah. The infringement of. God's plan. That's the fucking banger right there.
Starting point is 00:57:28 That shit is crazy. You know what? I've heard the band name around actually. Mosh's Delight straight up. Before the pandemic, they were hitting it real hard. Yeah. That's like tear your rotator's cuff. Yeah, 600.
Starting point is 00:57:40 And that's not pure noise, but 600 881, which is like, 631, that's like their area code and stuff. But the guitar player, he runs days. Oh. Yeah. So it's like all, I mean, you know. He's also filled in for like an insane amount of bands. He was, I mean, he was the original member of King 9 and so like that.
Starting point is 00:57:56 He's like, a Marauder. Yeah, he's played for a marauder for a little bit. It's funny because I was going to ask you guys, you know, because I honestly don't know. It's like, you know, how do you guys, you know, listen to music these days? How do you find new bands and shirt? And you basically just go to the label. Just talk to our friends, go to shows, most importantly.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Yeah. Go see some new bands. That's one of the very few things good about social media is, you know, your friends talking about music or, whatever honestly but yeah Spotify band camp sounds like I don't know podcast podcast yeah that's good well me yeah I mean you guys dropped a lot of gems on this one so I think people watching listening will definitely appreciate it listen the eternal champion in Sumerlands too Arthur is like traditional heavy metal it's really good like
Starting point is 00:58:45 it's sick Sumerlands has like Ozzy Osbourne vibe like the first couple records oh wow and they're great incredible musicians Philly based Kind of. Yeah, kind of. Texas. Texas Philly. Wasn't Eternal Champions of Texas, Philly? Yeah, that one.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Eternal Champions. That's Iron Age heads, right? Yeah, but Sumerlind's an Eternal Champion both share the same two guitars and bass player. Oh, wait, doesn't the singer of rival mob sings for Summerlands now? Yeah. Yeah. He has a beautiful voice. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I did not know that. Yeah, he had a black metal band called Ball, no, Battle Ruins was that? I think D. F.J was in, I don't know. Either way. But, no, he's... This is lore right here. Yeah, we're going deep. Brendan from
Starting point is 00:59:25 Sumerland sang in Magic Circle and... Magic Circle. But there was another like two-song band that he did. Either way, this is music. But then he sang in Rava Mop,
Starting point is 00:59:35 one of the greatest hardcore bands ever. Literally. Literally ever. Rival Mop is incredible. Yeah. Oh man. We need them back. Bring them back.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Well, since you guys have have your own sound, I was curious because obviously, you know, you're, you know, East Coastline, they're definitely jamming
Starting point is 00:59:50 like skinless and hardcore bands and the barman and barcores I get it but I was like you know I was curious when the band started and you're you're working on like you know And anywhere from your from your three song demo to only self like what what what what you guys listening to That was non? Uh
Starting point is 01:00:11 Hardcore or metal like we we listen to Elvis or like this will destroy you Yeah, yeah? Yeah, I mean talking about only self from the between that the three song because I mean Literally the end of our record like there's like we kind of have like this like real like do me part or whatever that was kind of inspired by the band that japanese boris boris but i'm saying the drum well the drum be that's oh right right boris yeah this will destroy you non i don't dude that was so long ago i know i know so long ago bro what was i that that i don't even know we were just like betty gaga i almost something yeah what's i'll say 2018 or in between like like in between like 2015 to 2018 like brit rock brit rock
Starting point is 01:00:53 Britt Rock, okay Yeah, that's why I first started listening Swirb Driver and all that It's around that time Swar Driver Yeah That sounds interesting Swirdriver
Starting point is 01:01:02 Swir driver Swir driver yeah Swirv Like a chuggays Band from the 90s I got to see a picture of this fucking band Yeah Shoeges
Starting point is 01:01:08 They got a Lice King Cat Singing Pets Fucking ripping it They're really good Really melodic They're good They're supposed to see
Starting point is 01:01:17 One word Idea You fuck up Yeah they're They're rippers man Not screwdriver. That was what... Definitely, please don't go that.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Not to be confused with screwdriver. A screwdriver one word. Yeah, I just cut that. I wore a swerf driver shirt. You got to hit me with the bleep pulled out. Oh my goodness. Well, dude, that's a great question because I don't know. Non-metal stuff, yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Really? I always listen to like Neo-Soul. So that's probably what I was listening to like Sada or some shit. Yeah, I mean there's the stuff we kind of like, I mean, Apex Twin is like you know the deaf tones Like you know shit like that but like things for I guess like it's right here's the record yeah I can't say if you're watching this you're still beautiful I think she's like 60 so wow
Starting point is 01:02:07 Yeah dude that was feels like a little bit lifetime yeah because I mean I was just curious because I mean guys have your own sounds I'm always curious like you know you always bands that really stick out in general You know similar I guess to you guys and us and you know just generally like it's always like you combined the obvious with like the non-obvious you know so i'm always curious about bands that have their own sound that are heavy which is very very rare that kind of stick out uh amongst the a pack you know of great bands i mean it goes back to i was saying before i don't like same way with only self i mean and for this record like when we were writing it it was very much like uh there wasn't like oh this let's do a song like this or like we want to
Starting point is 01:02:49 sound like that it's like we just had a riff and we just kind of of did stuff with it. Interesting. I have a, like, I always, it's very poetic, I guess, whatever. But, like, when I think about writing a riff or a song, I hate being, like, this riff is cool. Or, like, this, like, I have a riff.
Starting point is 01:03:03 It's like, for me, I, like, I want to be, like, I want to be, like, I think about, like, I think about, like, sounds so dumb stuff. Like, I think about, like, the sky. Like, what does the sky sound like? What does this painting sound like? What does this mean? You get that. And, because that, that feels so much better to me
Starting point is 01:03:18 than, like, being, like, like, I, there's definitely some ripped riffs on our records. Don't get me wrong. Like, I, you know, there's all, obviously. 100% like, I listened to Cryptops, and I was like, we're taking that riff. But, but, you know, it's like,
Starting point is 01:03:34 of course. Yeah, you know what I mean? But overall, the whole thing, and that's another thing, too, is, like, the songwriting. It's never, like, David Updike wrote this thing, or John wrote this thing. It's like, every riff, each of us, you can tell, I mean, you know, going through it, you know, you can tell, you can tell who wrote what riff, riff, but no riff was not touched by each other. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:53 So when writing it, it's like less about, and that's why, you know, even with like the whole like regional stuff, like, I don't know, there's something like, you know, the Philly sound or the Philly Feeling and stuff or like the East Coast thing. Everything to me is so like, you know, like, no, I just want, I want to feel like it's like such like a different thing than like, you know, a specific thing. I mean, we just, we wrote what was cool to us. And we were definitely searching for our sound. We weren't really sure what we sounded like.
Starting point is 01:04:21 And we specifically didn't want a specific thing. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? That's why when it's like, oh, you guys are a beat down and I'm like, stop. Yeah. Stop. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Not even close. Yeah. Or like, you know, or people when we first started, it's like, you guys sound like history. It's like, stop. Oh my. Someone said that? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:37 Many, many, many people. And no disembodied. Disabody. We don't sound like that. They're heavy, yes. Oh, they're credible. We don't sound like. People hear a chug and they think, oh, all right.
Starting point is 01:04:47 Yeah. And like, same thing. I mean, we specifically didn't want to do panic chords because, you know, it's like the, you know, like the trit tone, you know. Yeah. And we didn't like, we kind of were like, let's, if we're going to do it, let's make sure we do it in a very different way. Because we want to have our own vibe. And also it's way more interesting to like paint that type of picture than it is to like, you like, we're this type of band.
Starting point is 01:05:13 That makes me feel better. And sometimes I get in my head, like when we listen to our new record, you know, I mean it's like damn like is this then I like I'll read this I'll read this I'll be like all right we did a good job like I did I don't even know what to compare it to that's great yeah you know we were showing our homie yeah yeah we were showing our we were showing jana at fear of failure yesterday oh yeah and it's just like it's funny because it's like people can think whatever but like I listen this song truly I listen to and I'm like I don't know like what like live you what are you what would it be I don't know that's true
Starting point is 01:05:43 yeah but there's also like a groove part in the first first like yeah and there's At the end is like a little black metal like double time on the high hat like with a then a slam beat down at the end You know what I mean? Yeah parts there's VOT like we like literally arch go blasphemy hoodie yeah into like a unit 731 You know what I'm saying like it yeah this is an ad band if you have it yeah we're listening to that on the way there's another ban unit 731 what unit 731 unit 731 unit 731 7 3 That's a cool band name. Yeah. But yeah, that's the long answer to that.
Starting point is 01:06:22 You know what I mean? Because I think it's more interesting to want to like paint a picture than it has to like want to be like that riff is dope. But there's also a spy. I mean, I definitely listen to bands like that riff is dope. Oh, yeah. But for, for I think us, I like the idea of it being, I've been a little more.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Yeah. You know, all around. Yeah, it's awesome. That explains a lot with your style and why it's so unique because, I mean, like you, you take inspiration from the world life you know and then uh Lou puts his fucking swagger to it
Starting point is 01:06:55 is he's a very specific unique drummer which is fucking sick and then by the time you know it gets to Aaron it's just it's just put a little spice it's over just put a little paprika on that shit Jesus peace Jesus peace
Starting point is 01:07:09 Jesus peace Oh my goodness Oh dude He also he is like Dude he He's like, the other day, he's like, I want to do something else now so people stop bringing this up. Because it's cool, but he's like so, like, everyone's like, so you drum with her Charlie XX? And he's like, yes.
Starting point is 01:07:31 It's fucking sick, though. I didn't know who she was until, uh, to Lou. Yeah. And there's that. She's awesome. He put her on. Yeah. But, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:43 You're welcome, Charlie. For those of you listening. We're watching Lou play drums for Charlie. As I'm very talented drummer Lewis. On Saturday Night and Alive. Yes, I know. And you know what? This is what, I really want to talk about Sunny. You know, hate 5, 6.
Starting point is 01:08:02 Which is basically how, I mean, Lou got this gig. How bad, son. So, no, so no. Definitely, like, that's another thing, too. We wanted it. We definitely, like, he, Lewis has his own. sphere of people and and stuff and like there's like it's a very honestly simple story of like his friend is a creative director and he hit him up he just he just happened to be a eight five six bit exactly
Starting point is 01:08:30 because i mean he's not he's actually gonna be that tonight but we have like 30 eight five six don't give me wrong sunny's great but he and it's like definitely like like exposure i hate that word but like you know i mean he films us playing but like with lou and stuff like that like really like reason Lou is where he's at and what he's done is like he's just a sick drummer and he's got film doing it you know what I'm saying sick I just want to say that when I when I found you guys I started seeing are you in that video yeah yeah okay that was that literally the home that's literally literally this is Seas up there rocked really literally this is main band okay on main band oh oh it's hard to juggle no they're they're a straightage man
Starting point is 01:09:13 their shows go crazy. Also, Conner's a great drummer. Connor rocks. To have someone that's always capturing these moments in time for, especially for heavy music and hardcore, is so huge. It's great. Actually, speaking of labels, too, FYA Fest,
Starting point is 01:09:30 you want to talk about, like, a curated lineup to, to me, isn't just the same bands. FYA Fest, which is what this is, has amazing lineups. To me.
Starting point is 01:09:41 If you need a few bands, look out the year by year. lineup of FYA you can just find it's just there it's right there it's like they just done your homework for you basically fuck your attitude fast you want to be cool just look at those lineups and check legit yeah buy those shirts yeah i think i think it's super important for for any scene that do uh to capture moments you know especially for hardcore i mean and any and like like the east coast heavy scene it's just it's it's all there yeah dude sunny uh sonny uh Johnny has been filming for a long-ass time and just doing that just because he liked to do it and it's growing into something so big and awesome.

Starting point is 01:12:30 I got to hand that shit off to him. Yeah, I would have to step in. Put the hurting all those. What do you think is that actually, I like, pretended to play it for like the last song. Yeah. I can't just grab another guitar and start smashing that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Yeah, I forgot about that It wouldn't work, right? It was just shitty It was like To the E probably Like we thought it was gonna break Straight up Oh yeah, I thought it was gonna break first hit
Starting point is 01:12:51 It did, but it was a square? No, it was like, oh was it square? It was a Fender? It wasn't even, it wasn't an offender It was like a different guitar company But I'm telling you this shit was Bill, nigga He was smashing this thing
Starting point is 01:13:04 Like I was feeling the stage Under my feet every time he hit And I was starting to cringe like Oh, this is my dope bad dude this can't happen yeah it took what like five tries or more bro he was hitting that thing for a while it was it was long it was long it was long yeah there is a video it is long enough where we were like is this gonna break same like it was literally I was like if it doesn't break on this hit it one more time and then like the neck just snapped it was like thank god dude
Starting point is 01:13:33 oh my goodness god or I mean I would just throw it out in a crowd yeah right yeah yeah Here's a, this is obviously I'm so nervous about that like throwing shit on, like even like water I'm like I don't, because it's like everyone's like like you throw a guitar out and someone got hit they'd be like Yeah exactly. Lawsuit.
Starting point is 01:13:52 Dude remember we were like before that show we were like No, are you sure you don't want to do it? Like what if it doesn't break? Like not Dave do it. You just do it. I was like, you were like not John do it. John, yeah, you because if it didn't at least like your strength would have pushed it to the end.
Starting point is 01:14:05 Right. Should it hit it on the flat side. You should have done. Yeah, because the same is so low. neck break right there. But no, that's good I was like, sorry Bob, sorry the stage is like fucked up. Could cut trees with that bad boy.
Starting point is 01:14:19 Yeah, you gotta be careful with the fucking lawsuits. Dude, yeah, I mean, I've thrown out a lot of guitars in the crowd. Have you really? Yeah, a lot. Dude, that's what, that would stretch me out, stress me out so much. You're like, got him back or you're just like, no, see ya.
Starting point is 01:14:32 I had one situation when someone was fucking with me. They're like, yeah, yeah, better call your lawyer. in the face he was like fucking with me. Dead serious. Oh shit. Yeah. He was obviously
Starting point is 01:14:44 really bored at home. That's crazy. My goodness. I'm glad that we haven't had any lawsuits against us yet, to be honest. No. Anytime someone's gotten like fucked up during our set, I feel like.
Starting point is 01:14:55 They're like, hell yeah. Like we've had like their parents and we'd be like, can you sign this thing for my son? Or like, some dude was like crowd killing. Like the, literally this is what? San Antonio and you like, you tackle them off stage
Starting point is 01:15:06 because they were being dickhead. And they were like, hell yeah, man. Oh yeah. Some guy got on stage. Some big dude, I don't know why I thought I could take him, but he was punching people in the face while on stage, and I'm like, no.
Starting point is 01:15:18 And I tried kicking him off, and my foot was just not strong enough. So I was like, I'm just going to throw my body at him, and then I knocked him off the stage. He literally tackled him. We both fell off the stage together. Sick. He thought that I was like stage diving for fun.
Starting point is 01:15:30 I was like, no, I was trying to kick you off. Yeah, I got you, bro. I got you. Oh, my goodness.

Starting point is 01:15:56 holy shit anything longer than fucking three weeks that starts to lose my mind so i go imagine how you guys i'm trying to do like a week on chill do another week I mean we we definitely taught, before we got, when we asked, you got to ask about this, we definitely, like, talked about that. Hey, what did you eat in sour patch kids right now? Let's do it. Yeah, I'm sorry if that's rude. I just...
Starting point is 01:16:14 Can I have one? Yeah. If you can smoke your weed in here, I can have some candy. Taxman, come. That is a good point. But we talked about it. This is like our first tour in five years, like the line up so good. We were like, all right.
Starting point is 01:16:29 We got to, you got to stake it out. And also, we were like, this... We kind of, dude, before the tour, we were like, if this is the, if this is what does it to us, it'll be this tour. So we were like, we went into it kind of like, I think we were obviously psyched, but we were like, can I have some?
Starting point is 01:16:44 Yeah, of course. Yeah, like, I love our next five minutes of the show. Yeah, a lot of bands per tour is back for like you get that lineup or like the routing in like two months. Dude, we, I literally, eight weeks or seven weeks. What's the long as you done at all? I tried to not think about it at all. I tried to not think about it.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Yeah, same. It's like, what's the long as you done? I mean, yeah, when we have, first started, there was over two months, close to three, and then once that the pandemic was over, and you start touring, like, you gotta make up a lot of time. We did tour of Ginger. It was almost two months long. Wow. Did you ever do Warp Tour anything?
Starting point is 01:17:17 Yeah. I know that's just like three months, right? Yeah, it was like two. It's like two. That's not a bus, though, so that's nice. Yeah, but, uh... True. Yeah, but we got, like, 2010 Warped Tour.
Starting point is 01:17:28 I hear, like, the years prior, or were, like, the crazy long ones. Yeah. Because bands will hop on and hop off. True. But you have a few bands. We did that full, but that was just, I mean, it was a shorter run. Oh, damn. Yeah, when you guys announced this tour, I looked at the dates, I'm like, damn, only six weeks.
Starting point is 01:17:48 And then months later, they asked me to fill in. I'm like, damn. Oldly put that out there. Yeah, I was, like, thinking to myself, I'm glad I'm not doing six weeks of that. But now I am glad to be doing six weeks of this. Yeah, and we asked you what, a week before? Yeah, two weeks for sure You're a super hero for doing that, thank you
Starting point is 01:18:08 You know I was like, hey, can you tour for six weeks? He goes, yeah I was like, word Yeah, I wasn't making money Working at Starbucks, I'm like Not that this is paying me anything crazy But like, I was like

Starting point is 01:18:55 You hit me up and I was like if you can do it I mean that's a lot of dude Learning of two band sets and a week and a half That's insane And he had to learn lyrics and singing for this for their backs that was probably the hardest part
Starting point is 01:19:07 not even the riffs just learning onwards and the five sets you have to play when you get back yeah and your other touring bands it's gonna be a great year

Starting point is 01:20:37 Never works. I'm surprised you guys left after that show in Austin to go back to the DJ thing because you guys were both just laying in bed. I mean, the guilt would have over. Lewis has been playing a few shows after. Like, he'd be DJs after and we both lay down. But my guilt would have been too high. The FOMO.
