Tell us a little bit about him. First ever clock, time was invented here. Before that, there's a lot of waiting around. No one knew where they were coming or going.
Starting point is 00:28:35 There's all sun dials. Looking at the sun, walking around. And now you know where to go. How often? Thank you, Ben. How often are you, UK born and bred, come in and just look at Big Ben? Just to check my watch, really, just to like check the time, make sure that I'm all, my iPhone's correct, my watch is correct. My stock watch is correct. don't know that they they sink up the iPhone bet yeah that's how it works the source of all time you changed that we're fucked yeah yeah i love lying on the show lying that's not misinformation oh it's good yeah we purpose to spread it as often as possible what else we got here what's that i don't know i think they just built it okay that's the london eye this is the thames oh this is the thames this is the tames i've heard a lot about this
Starting point is 00:29:25 Bill Shakespeare, big fan of these fuckers. You ever been in there? I used to fish out of the Thames, swimming there, like laid traps. Really? For real? Not this bit, but like further down there. Yeah. Towards like Houndslow and all those places.
Starting point is 00:29:39 There's edible fish in this. I mean, it depends how much you want to keep your immune system on his toes, you know what I mean? I used to catch like crayfish out of the Thames. So you're straight up, your immune system was a fucking acrobat. Yeah, you know, I don't get food poisoning very often now. You know what I mean? sort of got it all out of the way when I was younger.
Starting point is 00:29:56 One of these is MI5 or MI6, right? That circle top one, I think, is it? Oh, wait, hang on. Is it that one? Yeah, the one with the clock on it. One of those two, yeah. That's the ankle break, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Apparently with that building, yeah, you can't, there's no ground floor. You get in an elevator that takes to the top, and the further down you go is the more secure the passes. So I'm told. But, you know, what do I know? Yeah, well, you know it all. More than you lead on, I'm sure. Whenever we get interviewed by people, as California residents, they always ask, like,
Starting point is 00:30:31 how does California play into your music? And it's maybe the worst question to ever be asked. But I feel like that's different with London being like the birthplace of punk. You think so? Yeah. I feel like if I lived here, I'd be like songs about London. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm a sucker for that.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Oh, yeah. So what's the best one ever? What's the one where it comes on and you and the boys? in the pub or like yeah uh maybe a poggs one you know like white city i'll get i'll get a bit emotional because i'm from like near white city so when i hear white city i'm like it's me man it's good song song man it was a good boy you know it's alive but what a post post post COVID in the pub after lockdown was it real where the whole pub is singing the whole city's singing yeah yeah what was the song that came on
Starting point is 00:31:24 that made the pub come alive. People at that time, because I think it was around like the World Cup and shit, people singing Sweet Caroline a lot. Crazy. It is crazy. A real American fan. You could have gone in the pub and just been like,
Starting point is 00:31:34 sweet cat and everyone's gone, Bob, Bob, Bob. Isn't it crazy that that's not in the song? No, yeah. When I listen to it, I'm like, it's the horns. The horns, but the Bob, Bob, people are convinced. They should get into, they should AI generate one way. He does it.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Here it is. A lot. Check it, that. Hope you enjoy that. Who sings that? It's not Neil Diamond. Is it? Of course.

Starting point is 00:32:38 Punk. British punk. That's what punk's all about. That's the way it's up. Not positively. It's not good. It's bad for everybody. I could take it or leave it, to be honest, at this point.

Yeah. fucking they take they take our tax and give me fuck all for it so speaking to them yeah let's go check out where they with oh shit yeah let's do that do you what some tracks i will send you some tracks you'll be like damn i love being british but i see i don't think actually i you have to say
Starting point is 00:33:11 a couple albums 100% they they don't really have tracks they have whole experience like the moon one yeah the moon one i think is pretty good i think that's the starting point in my opinion i'm of the the wall man I love it you're a theatrical guy yeah I can I can hear it yeah you'll like the wall I'm all about it watch dude the movie watch the movie really that's the way to experience I didn't know it was a movie it's fucking crazy it's like half animated and the animation is like narly and yeah yeah like even today would be like it's brutal you ever seen a michael jackson movie I'm a big fan of MJ oh yeah I'm a lifer dude I let the man rest the man could dance uh oh my god could he ever
Starting point is 00:33:53 could sing a hug. Do you ever watch the video of the first moonwalk? Yeah, of course. Holy shit. Could you imagine being there? The reaction is delayed because they don't know what the crowd is like it's like yeah it's like silence there's a pause for gasping. Yeah. So the first time someone did a windmill ever, gig or so it's like it's like imagine people just taking their hats off going. Somebody saw stick banders. What the fuck was that? We've we've we've heard a quote about how it originated. Yeah. Forgey Marauder claims they had to do the karate in the did. to fight off all the big skinheads.
Starting point is 00:34:25 So they have to be an early shit to like... Because what people were doing before? Just slamming. Yeah, slamming. Yeah. And they had to do the fucking, like... They had to like... Like full on.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Spin kicks. Jesus. It's stage diving which is to get away from Fouts. What a pleasure it is to see Hivez live in London, huh? Wow. Yeah, we didn't ask about that, NFA. What's your relationship with Hyvis? Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I sang on the record. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I've known Graham fucking years and years, and he was in Dirty Money before. Which is like one of those bands, which I think is like massively underappreciated. Like, as,
Starting point is 00:35:16 because all the sort of like new wave of British hardcore stuff came after that kind of stuff. And we were like looking up to that as we were like, as I was certainly what I was. TUI was so the band. Man. That's where existing did a lot for UK hardcore. in general yeah you know what TUI is like I fucking love them and like the same way
Starting point is 00:35:37 a crown of thorns is it's like the lyrics are like so emotional and the riffs are so hard and the combination of the two is like the perfect like sweet and sour type thing you know what's what's your quote heavy doesn't mean hard yeah well hard and heavy are two completely different two different things right time rise is hard and that the lyrics being emotional makes it harder Two original interpretations of two different things that have been done before, but doing together. You're like in the pit going like, that's so fucking true, man. Yeah, straight. Boom, bum, bum.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Yeah, exactly. I went to the high-vis show in Chicago. Oh, yeah? A month or two ago. And it was unbelievable. Really? The reaction they got was un-fucking real. Every time I see him, I go, that's the last time we'll be seeing a venue like this, mate.
Starting point is 00:36:29 It was sold out. first time in Chicago yeah fucking unbelievable and they had a reaction that was just like what the fuck yeah yeah yeah good for them yeah and they've all been doing fucking they've all been doing bands for like fucking ages like obviously that the best when those guys finally get their day yeah it's like the end of it's like the end of a disney film you're like yes they did it man yeah it's like when shadow comes back yes yeah and home or bound yeah hi-vis being popular is exactly like when shadow comes back what do we have here Oh, this is 10 down, so this is probably the prime minister.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Oh, well. Oh, look, it's Carl from the Chisle, everyone. All right. What do we got here? Which fucker is this? I think this is a prime minister. Is it really? What's his name?

Starting point is 00:37:34 You guys get past... I actually don't fucking know what the Prime Minister's name is. I think it's Richie Sooner, but they've been changing them quite quickly. They're not doing a good job? They're not doing a very good job. Brexit changes a lot, huh? Oh yeah. Now you've got to write a car name for tours and all sorts of shit.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Before you used to just be able to do whatever you want inside the same country. Sure. And now you have to write a fucking... I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I will say us getting into the UK easiest it's ever. Yeah really? Just unbelievable. So you got that going forward. What was getting into a UVRA problem with borders?
Starting point is 00:38:13 I've got a visa now. Oh nice. So yeah. For Europe or for America? For America. Because before we used to just sneak in. Yeah. But like if you Google my name now because they're like chubby shit like it comes up with like a list of bands I was in.

So they were like, we went to the embassy and they were like, oh, you've been to America before and I was like, oh, fuck. Because you can get, they can pre-back, you know.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Sure. But the woman was cool with it. She was like, oh, that's cool. I was like. How do they feel about the arts? Do they, are there only grants you can get? Nah, here, no. Yeah, they fucking.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Fuck art. You, we are at the bottom of that list. Yeah, right. If anyone's going to get a grant, it's going to be a violinist somewhere. I ain't going to be like, you know. On Zimmer's cellist. Yeah. You guys think about bow tie.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Yeah, hilarious. I don't know. I've never worn a job where I have to wear a tie. I've never been in a job where I have to wear a tie. About like a formal event. It's not nice. Yeah. A wedding or, or,
Starting point is 00:39:20 or like, funerals. There's a question. There you go. So at home it's like punk kid, probably metal kid punk kid you know various forms of posts whatever yeah and then the ultimate retirement is like rockabilly oh yeah what is i saw a meme the other day that was like a man with his back to the camera and there's an escalator going up to heaven and an escalator going down to hell and the heaven once said jazz and the hell once said rockabilly dude straight up you know what's the
Starting point is 00:39:51 what's the british like old culture equivalent hell yeah i think it's that it's like i've You either go to jazz or you go to Rockabilly, I think. Really? So it's a bit of Bill Evans or you start getting into the meteors and then, oh, yeah, that adds up. I like Rockabilly. Necromantics has many tracks. Tiger Army goes.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Oh, 100%. Yeah, Tiger Army. Is it Tiger Army 2 or whatever? Hell yeah, dude. Power of Moonlight, Annabelle Lee, Cupid's Victim. A little bit of slide. Get lap, lap, slide. Under Saturn's Shadow.

I think it's, like, more difficult for us to go that way than it is for you lot to come this way, in my honest opinion. There's so much in America.
Starting point is 00:41:50 All we have to do is go, oh, bloody hell me old bloody guitar's going to do. And everyone was like, oh, that's really interesting. Nice. That was really good. Thanks, boys.

Starting point is 00:44:59 out the front of your house, people would be like, oh really? A little sketchy. Like it's a symbol of oppression. Yeah, I mean, the British Empire wasn't. I mean, that's a Buckingham Palace over there. That's it, oh yeah, look at that. Irish, they weren't.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Oh yeah, I'm there too. We're all there. We weren't. My lineage is some kind of tragedy. Something happened. Some kind of Romeo and Julia situation. It's so funny, in British schools, it would be like, yeah, so there was this,
