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.
A fluid mosher.
He's great.
He's like a dancer.

part they're like we're gonna send you the lyrics i was like all right let's check it out
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
It's like, what's green?
It's crazy.

Dude, cock and ball torture is amazing.
They are legendary.
They have legitimate riffs.
I mean, dude, they're, I mean, they're, I mean, they're.
It's serious.
Googling cock and ball.
Hey, don't pull many pictures, dude.
Do not even, do not go on the safe searches.
Oh, baby.
Yeah, man.
Fucking raw.
Oh my goodness, dude.
Where are they from?
Europe, duh.
Eastern Europe?
Duh.
I think of what.
What you say?
Oh, German, okay.
German.
Tissue.
Wow, okay.
Well, that's sick.
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...
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.
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...
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We didn't practice before this set.
Yeah,
we always never practiced.
Jake,
can you,
can you pull it up,
please?
It's Detroit.
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,
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...
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
Yeah.
I mean, like,
I was in, like,
metal and metal core and shit.
And he,
he is punk.
Like,
he came from punk.
Like,
you never listened to, like,
metal core,
death,
nothing,
nothing like that.
Oh,
okay.
But he liked,
like,
devourment.
Like,
legit,
he liked very specific,
like,
really heavy shit,
you know,
and, like,
moshing.
He loves,
also,
it's a competition
between Aaron and him
for the best moshes in the band,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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
East Coast shit's always been aggressive
Man and
Whether it be like
The death metal
Coming out of New York
Or out of our area
It's always been
Like its own touch
Of aggressive
You can always kind of
Like tell
A death metal band
Is from Long Island
Or like from New York
You know what I mean
Hey
Hey yo
We're one more tissue
From Long Island

Me and Lou just saw them a little bit ago.
How was it?
They're still awesome.
Gosh.
Live drummer, sounds great.
Are they a three piece?
They're two piece, but they just added a drummer, I think.
Yeah.
Now I think they're a four.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Well, they have a rhythm.
And, yeah.
They had a full band.
It sounded awesome.
yeah will we'll legend hard yeah i keep i keep hearing about that name uh that the band and will
as i i'm hearing about it in the past few months my all right i got a question for you what kind of
what what what what metal were you into when you were like 18 19 20 like what were you
jamming yeah what were you up to extreme music wise uh you know how like you have a period where
you find something but you're gonna jamming it for 10 years yeah i mean once uh really really
uh condensed when corn slip knot and
to Fear Factory Cannibal.
That was a span
like a couple years
and then like
when you hit
found skinless
and that was pretty much it
It's nice
Yeah
Skinless open up a big door
Yeah
Like like
I heard like
progression towards evil
And that's just open up
All you add in like
The groove aspect
To death metal
Then you found
You know
You know
Derm suffering

Like when they were trying to like, like when
it was right before they like,
I think it was maybe 1990, but it was Pantera
and the Soviet Union.
Yeah, it's literally, I downloaded.
I remember I watched that shit.
The Cowboys from Hell.
Yeah, that shit, bro.
The Cowboys from Hell video, I watched that.
I can't tell you many times because I thought
dime bag is like
the hardest.
That's so many.
Look, oh, a fucking people.
Dude, and there's, there's, like, crazy.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.

So the week of.
Sick.
Boom.
Oh, sick.
Nice.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
All kinds of shit
Yeah
I like to not go back
Yeah
Right
Yeah
For a little bit
I was playing bass
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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
spine.
Spine,
is sick too.
Yeah.
Is he in Spine now?
Yeah.
The singer
is the drummer
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your shows are fucking nuts, dude.
Short hair, bro.
Damn.
Dumb, no beer?
No beer.
Whoa.
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.
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.
I was like, I got it.
That's not true.
Dude,
Kayla in Atlanta.
Wow.
Shout out to Kayla,
though.
Look at Dom.
Oh,
this is chaos.
There's so many people in this video
that,
like,
we could, like,
go on about their bands
and, like,
who they are forever,
and they're all sick.
Dom Pabone,
Similacra,
you would fuck with Simi Lacka?
Hard,
death metal,
hardcore.
I like,
honestly,
Daze records.
Yeah,
Dave.
Everything on D-A-Z-E.
Hey, Louis, get down
What was the
The band of you I just said?
Simulaka
S-I-M-U-L-A-K-R-A
Okay
Yeah, those are the
With a K
Okay, you guys
Yeah, you guys need
Like the Britney Spears' headsets
For sure
I will actually
Be super down to get him
One of those headsets
He has a talk about
You guys did that?
He's one of the funniest people
I've ever met my fucking life
Straight up
Sayas
This person that hasn't said anything
This is crazy
Yeah, no, the singer of this band
You're talking about old school
Like internal bleed
All these guys like love internal bleeding
Like, oh man
Not condemned
What's the
Dehumanized?
Like New York death metal
Like that's their shit
And Dom's a scary-ass mosh
Dom is like Mosh prodigy
So Lewis style
Aaron is style
and like
and and hardness.
Dom,
he,
he,
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
for us on vocals.
Yes.
Oh yeah.
In Texas.
Yeah.
He used to do like
merch first and shit.
Yeah.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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-
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
He also learned the whole set like a week before.
Yeah.
But,
but,
but,
I mean,
Cidap is my favorite,
for sure.
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,
this is what Moment Truth is doing,
but,
um,
uh,
Japanese Mosh style too.
Oh, yeah.
I mean,
hell yeah,
that's,
yeah,
that's,
yeah,
that's the heavy stuff,
but MoMAs is the heavy stuff.
But Cepo,
it's like,
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
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
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
Scheme records
Yeah Jay pull up
Scheme
Oh scheme scheme
Yeah
Hey Jay pull up scheme records
Please
but uh
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
one of the greatest hardcore bands ever.
Literally.
Literally ever.
Rival Mop is incredible.
Yeah.
Oh man.
We need them back.
Bring them back.
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
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
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
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
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
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
One word
Idea
You fuck up
Yeah they're
They're rippers man
Not screwdriver.
That was what...
Definitely, please don't go that.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
That's not.
We've taken that full to Japan with us.
Really?
They look like that's bad-hand line-ups.
We filmed a bunch of shit out there and then Australia he rode with us for a little bit too.
How is Japan?
Banging.

For the records
There was video evidence
It broke
I broke that shit
It took a minute

And we damaged the stage
The stage was soft
It was safe
It went on so long
That everyone was kind of like
It was a guitar
Like didn't we
Aaron got it
You wanted
Yeah one of our friends
Like ripped the jackpot
He was like

We thought it sucked.
It wasn't even like, this is going to be a bum-ass guitar.
Let's fucking break this thing.
Wrong.
That shit is built for tough.
Dude,

Yeah,
I was about to hand it off the air.
And he's the strongest one in the band.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, Aaron's got straight.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
I was like, no, I was trying to kick you off.
Yeah, I got you, bro.
I got you.
Oh, my goodness.
Unless it's Austin, Texas.
got to be careful there yeah yeah yeah people are diving like crazy at the shows they don't
give a fuck it's awesome yep people are really diving hard well you guys are uh halfway
through the tour oh my gosh this this is a long one not even yeah dude yeah not even halfway
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...
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
No, I'm just saying like, I was like
Damn, dude, dude, what are you doing?
Why do you think I'm filling it for two bands?
Yeah, you need to clout
Yeah, they pay me in clout
It's all for the clout
That's it
They asked me like two weeks before
And I was like
I'm gonna do it because I want to go on the road
I'm bored in Philly
And then a week before the tour
Scow also asked me to fill in
And I'm like well I'm already gonna be on the tour
I don't see why I couldn't do both
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
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
for me
a great busy year
you love you love
you're too bored
bro well dude like
the year after the pandemic
all my bands
didn't do anything
for the whole year
and I was watching
all my other friends
bands tour everywhere
I'm like damn
I want to be doing that
why I have a bunch of bands
why are we not touring
and then 2022 happened
and then that's when
I started
touring way more, and then this year
we're already hit the ground running with you guys.
And then I got other
announcements later this year.
I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.
It's not about my band, it's about Jesus' peace right now.
But you're going to be, I mean,
you're coming with us? You coming with us?
I mean, if I'm, let me see.
I guess I could, yeah.
Yeah, I would love to
continue playing with you guys, so.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Well, you're here first.
I guess we'll talk about it.
We'll see.
Yeah, you guys don't talk about things
You just go
Yeah, basically, yeah
It's always kind of been that way
If you think too much, you won't do it
That is very true, too, yeah
That is true, I always like
To tell that people, tell that to people that
Frank go to gym
When we start thinking, you're fucked
Yeah, that's exactly it
If you started thinking you heart
You're talking about that
That or if you lay down after work
That's the killer
Dude, I love
I love napping
But the thing is I get home from work
And I'm like, yeah, I'll go to the gym night.
I'll lay down and check my phone for a minute.
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.
The FOMO and the guilt.
Lewis after being like, wow, good scene you there.
had fun.
That was fun.
That was actually a really fun night.
And show me the body showed up.
And it was a good time.
So I don't know.
Because we're talking, Lou, I mean,
Lou DJs,
he has any producers under name Lou 2K.
So that's another, like, shout out.
But I mean, that's him.
I mean, he's like, he's a real deal.
Like, DJ and producer.
He's incredible DJ.
Yeah.
Great.
I mean, his girlfriend, too,
is an amazing DJ.
Sick.
Love it.
That's great.
Well, I don't want to take up too much.
of your time. I'm glad
that you found your van and you're able
to make the journey here.
Yeah, it knows too. Yeah, right?
I was worried we were talking to
Sherwin or whatever and I was like, dude, I don't know if we're
going to be able to do it because we couldn't, I mean, thank God
we found a shop. Yeah, yeah. Because, you know,
the lock is one thing, but I mean, we literally
The whole van. Well, like the
like the ignition was gone.
It was knocked off, yeah. It was gone.
Dude, to get that changed out. Yeah. So we had to get a towed
and you had to put the skates on our van and everything. Oh, really?
Yeah. They hammered it off.
So they put the screwdriver in there and turn it.
And that's the third van-related thing we had to deal with.
Windows.
One of the windows just exploded while we were driving.
Oh, yeah.
Like, we're just driving, and John's like, I don't know.
This window would look loose.
Yeah, he was like, yeah, when we, the next stop we do,
we should just kind of look at the window.
I think one of the screws is loose.
And we all agreed like, yeah, yeah, okay.
Legit.
And five, ten seconds later.
Like the passenger window, like the driver.
On, like, the flip open doors.
Yeah.
It went,
yeah.
Blew up, yeah.
Just like 10 seconds later.
In Florida, I thought we were getting shot at.
It was in Miami, yeah.
And then the next thing was,
we left the keys in the car.
Yeah, I loved.
I did.
Shout out K-Bob Steakhouse.
Shade up.
Yeah.
I locked the keys in the car, like an asshole.
I'm sorry, y'all.
Shout out to the angle.
That's fucking.
Dan, that sucks, dude.
I mean, we, it was like early in the morning when it happened.
The funny thing was after Ed, like, forced the window down with duct tape,
the AAA guy came like 20 minutes later, and he was like, hey, do you guys need me?
We're like, we got it, I guess.
Here's the broken passenger window.
That exploded.
It's very nice.
We've had a good time.
Well, you guys got a breeze now.
But not for nothing, though.
as a team we've handled this really great
nobody has
like lost their fucking shit no one has
that's important you know like just
gone irrational everybody's just kept in contact
it's great it's kind of
beautiful
that's great well we got three more weeks of this
so yeah don't speak so soon yet
no I mean I'm very proud of us dude
I mean like most people would fold under the pressure
that we've been in with this fan shit
and we've all kept it really cool
yeah thank I just been it's been windows
and not transmissions
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
We've had the transmission thing happen.
We're stuck in like Rock Springs, Wyoming.
Dude, actually, there's some deep, we don't know if I guess.
There's some deep lore in that time period, too.
We'll talk about it after.
Well, this is, listening to watching this is, it is April 10th.
The record comes out on the 14th Friday.
So either it's coming out in four days or we're listening to it right now.
So fucking badass, and you guys, I hope you guys have a safe tour,
and I hope nothing else happens with your band.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks for having us.
This is awesome.
Dude, it's crazy what happens when you just fucking see IG reel and now and I'm hanging out.
I think that's the sickest thing ever.
I didn't say this, but I was a huge fan of your band when I was younger.
I was saying, well, we'll talk about it after, but I want to talk to you about some stuff.
We're going to punish your ass.
We've been waiting.
We'll wait until after me.
Jesus peace, piss as fuck, heavy as fuck, and they're not beat down.
Check out of new back here.
Yeah, thank you.
Thanks, y'all.
Thank you.
