0:28 Speaker 1: really really good.

0:29 Speaker 2: So I'm very glad you're joining us today. Did did

0:32 Speaker 2: you write that?

0:32 Speaker 1: Are you responsible for that one?

0:34 Speaker 3: That one?

0:36 Speaker 2: I that's really really good, really good.

0:40 Speaker 4: It's about it's a kind of personal, semi personal, and

0:45 Speaker 4: you know, just kind of waking up and feeling like

0:47 Speaker 4: kid off a budding on folk, but then realizing you're

0:51 Speaker 4: really not and it's just Jay. Do you know what

0:54 Speaker 4: they can of duct feelings you have on a miserable day?

0:56 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely yeah. I was reading a quote from

1:00 Speaker 1: you about that. Actually, I just found this. It says

1:03 Speaker 1: this song is one of the most raw Box of

1:05 Speaker 1: Trash I wrote.

1:06 Speaker 3: Uh.

1:06 Speaker 1: The song is an introspective journey through self doubt, emotional struggle,

1:10 Speaker 1: and a yearning for care and understanding, set against a

1:13 Speaker 1: backdrop of personal chaos and fleeting moments of clarity.

1:18 Speaker 2: So that's that's a lot. Yeah, yeah, uh yeah, go ahead.

1:25 Speaker 3: Yeah.

1:25 Speaker 2: Oh it sounded like you were sounded like you were

1:27 Speaker 2: starting to say something. I didn't want to interrupt. No, no,

1:30 Speaker 2: it's all good.

1:31 Speaker 1: Yeah, we might have a there might be a slight delay,

1:32 Speaker 1: as there often is with these transcontinental calls. But uh no, uh,

1:37 Speaker 1: I I love and I did listen to by the way,

1:39 Speaker 1: let's see, I did listen to the uh, the entire

1:41 Speaker 1: album really really good.

1:44 Speaker 3: Uh.

1:45 Speaker 1: Now, I'm curious, so where does the name We'll start

1:47 Speaker 1: with one of the most obvious questions. I'm sure you

1:49 Speaker 1: get this all the time, but where does the name

1:50 Speaker 1: Box of Trash come from?

1:52 Speaker 3: Well?

1:54 Speaker 4: I think it's an interesting story, but it might not

1:56 Speaker 4: come across unteresting. But like a collect vinyl and I'm

2:00 Speaker 4: until it sexties, garbage, rocky, you know it kind of

2:04 Speaker 4: early sixties stuff.

2:06 Speaker 3: It's kind of great, like just dies and stuff.

2:08 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I got a compilation vinyl thing and it

2:13 Speaker 4: was called the Trash Box and I had to post

2:16 Speaker 4: it up in a studio and it's saying I was like,

2:18 Speaker 4: why don't we just call sales the box of trash? Yeah,

2:21 Speaker 4: we expectations are low. So that's that's where it comes from.

2:30 Speaker 3: Man.

2:30 Speaker 2: No, it's a great name. It's it's one that it's

2:32 Speaker 2: one you remember.

2:33 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I like it, you know, But it also

2:37 Speaker 1: kind of I think it fits in terms of you know,

2:39 Speaker 1: your sound, it's it's it's raw. You know, you mentioned

2:42 Speaker 1: you know, you really like garage rock or I think

2:45 Speaker 1: I even saw it. Did I see the term trash

2:47 Speaker 1: rock referring to you guys somewhere online? So I don't

2:49 Speaker 1: and I'd never heard that term before, trash rock. I

2:52 Speaker 1: don't know if that's something you say over there, but

2:54 Speaker 1: but I but I really like see personally, I love.

2:57 Speaker 2: That kind of production.

2:59 Speaker 1: I think a lot of I think a lot of

3:01 Speaker 1: the music that's produced and I don't even want to

3:03 Speaker 1: say a lot of the music that's produced today because

3:06 Speaker 1: I think it's been this way for a number of decades,

3:08 Speaker 1: probably starting in the eighties.

3:10 Speaker 2: But I think a lot of.

3:11 Speaker 1: Music is a little bit slicker and a little bit

3:14 Speaker 1: smoother than it needs to be, particularly with rock music,

3:18 Speaker 1: where you know, you really want to hear those crunchy

3:20 Speaker 1: guitars and everything. But the yeah, but the production on

3:24 Speaker 1: what you guys have done really is it's it's raw.

3:28 Speaker 1: You know, it still sounds professional and it's it sounds amazing,

3:31 Speaker 1: but there is kind of a raw, no iss to it,

3:33 Speaker 1: like is that is that something that's important to you?

3:36 Speaker 1: Do you intentionally try to get that sound?

3:39 Speaker 4: And we don't intentionally trying to, but it just kind

3:43 Speaker 4: of it's what to reenter. It is the kind of

3:46 Speaker 4: all phour of us are that type of person, you

3:48 Speaker 4: know what I mean? Yeah, but we recalled the album

3:53 Speaker 4: actually in Illinois and a place called Elgin.

3:57 Speaker 2: Oh no kidding, Yeah.

4:00 Speaker 4: Yeah, the album is called it's named after a hotel

4:04 Speaker 4: room and.

4:04 Speaker 2: Sweet oh wow.

4:07 Speaker 4: Yeah, I forget the name it now Candlewood Speech, Yeah,

4:12 Speaker 4: Candlewood to thirty.

4:14 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a room number and Candlewood Sweech was

4:17 Speaker 3: the hotel name.

4:19 Speaker 1: No, kidried, so you actually so you came to the

4:21 Speaker 1: States and recorded this in Elgin, Illinois?

4:24 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's why I come over.

4:28 Speaker 4: I was I was playing bass for a band down

4:31 Speaker 4: in England obviously I'm from Scotland, and I went down

4:34 Speaker 4: the band the Mets, and but they had a guy

4:38 Speaker 4: coming over from Illinois, Juan Velaz from Third Fire Records.

4:43 Speaker 3: He was recording them and I didn't.

4:46 Speaker 4: Have anywhere to stay and he ended up letting me,

4:48 Speaker 4: let's sleep on his couch. Yeah, So I went down

4:52 Speaker 4: straight back and we went to the pub after and

4:54 Speaker 4: he's like, do you write songs?

4:55 Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, And.

4:57 Speaker 4: I let him hear a demo I had called Space

5:00 Speaker 4: this Man, and he's like, I love it.

5:02 Speaker 3: You need to send me that when you get home.

5:05 Speaker 4: And so I sent him over and he's like, I

5:08 Speaker 4: want his old in Chicago. Well about Elgin? Sorry, yeah,

5:12 Speaker 4: what the colleges? So I that's how that came about.

5:15 Speaker 3: Just a kind of random meat no carding.

5:18 Speaker 2: That's wild.

5:19 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was one. It's one of the coolest

5:21 Speaker 3: things I've actually done with music.

5:24 Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time in Illinois when I

5:26 Speaker 1: was a kid because my parents divorced when I was

5:29 Speaker 1: pretty young and my mother, per the custody agreement, moved

5:32 Speaker 1: back to Illinois, where she was from originally. So I

5:34 Speaker 1: spent the summers out there, so I know, I know

5:37 Speaker 1: that stayed very well. I know exactly where Elgin is

5:39 Speaker 1: and well that's wild.

5:41 Speaker 3: You know.

5:42 Speaker 4: Another crazy thing about it is right in Scotland. There's

5:45 Speaker 4: a place called Elgin.

5:46 Speaker 2: Oh is there?

5:47 Speaker 4: H So, as I said to the boys, I was like,

5:50 Speaker 4: we've traveled halfway around the world end up in a

5:52 Speaker 4: town that's it's wild.

5:58 Speaker 3: It's quite man.

5:59 Speaker 4: But recording the album, it was like the guy juanne

6:03 Speaker 4: vellas he's it was very insistent on getting the sound

6:07 Speaker 4: we had in our room because we'd send them like

6:10 Speaker 4: like not demos, but like live recordings of in our

6:12 Speaker 4: rehearsal room and he's like, I want to capture that

6:14 Speaker 4: sound that you have there. Yeah, he was quite big on.

6:18 Speaker 3: It as well.

6:18 Speaker 4: So like like I said, it's not really us pushing

6:21 Speaker 4: for it, it.

6:21 Speaker 3: Was more him mm hmm, no that makes sense. So

6:26 Speaker 3: like I I was like, and he knows his stuff.

6:29 Speaker 4: We were just kind of full lads from a small

6:32 Speaker 4: town in Scotland, you know what I mean.

6:34 Speaker 3: We just play our instruments. Yeah, it's just not a thing.

6:38 Speaker 2: Oh that's wild. Yeah.

6:39 Speaker 1: You just never know, you just never know what might happen.

6:41 Speaker 1: That's incredible. So so how long did it take to

6:46 Speaker 1: record the album?

6:48 Speaker 3: We've done it in ten days.

6:51 Speaker 4: That nine days because the tenth the tenth day we

6:54 Speaker 4: ended up that was because we were in for the

6:57 Speaker 4: nine days. We were in every single day for about

6:59 Speaker 4: twelve I was a day, and then the last day

7:01 Speaker 4: we actually got to go into Chicago for the day. Yeah.

7:06 Speaker 3: Yeah, we got the boat too and everything.

7:07 Speaker 2: Oh wow, Oh very cool.

7:10 Speaker 3: I loved it. I loved in America.

7:13 Speaker 4: It's it's it's a beautiful place. So it was really beautiful.

7:17 Speaker 1: Oh that's that's awesome. Wow, yeah, that's really cool. Like

7:20 Speaker 1: I said, I spent a lot of time there when

7:22 Speaker 1: I was a kid, so I know, I know what

7:23 Speaker 1: you mean.

7:25 Speaker 2: Now, that's great.

7:25 Speaker 1: And so you averaged about a song a day then

7:27 Speaker 1: when you were recording it, So that's I mean.

7:30 Speaker 2: Was that what what were you feeling like in.

7:32 Speaker 1: Terms of was that a lot of pressure or were

7:35 Speaker 1: you were you comfortable with it or how was what

7:38 Speaker 1: was that like for you guys?

7:41 Speaker 3: It wasn't really pressure. No, we were quite comfortable.

7:43 Speaker 4: We knew the songs inside out because well it was

7:46 Speaker 4: obviously planned like to go over like just under a

7:51 Speaker 4: year in advance, so we practiced hard, you know what

7:53 Speaker 4: I mean, We've got everything tight and nailed down, So

7:56 Speaker 4: there wasn't no, it wasn't pressure. And Joanne like he

7:59 Speaker 4: he made us feel so comfortable so that like he

8:02 Speaker 4: made like like it would be. So what happened was

8:05 Speaker 4: would lay down tracks as what like as a band

8:08 Speaker 4: like would lay down all the tracks, and then the

8:11 Speaker 4: drummer went and he redone all his parts, the basis

8:14 Speaker 4: went and redone his parts.

8:16 Speaker 3: I went in singer, so like it was.

8:18 Speaker 4: Really easy, and it was really quick, and it was

8:20 Speaker 4: brilliant to work with him. It was really awesome to

8:23 Speaker 4: work with them man, and and I, like I said,

8:26 Speaker 4: it was no pressure whatsoever. That's not mean to start

8:29 Speaker 4: a big headed and anything like that. There just really wasn't.

8:33 Speaker 1: That's amazing. And then and then so how how long

8:37 Speaker 1: after so so you finish up there and then you

8:40 Speaker 1: and then you go back and then what was the

8:44 Speaker 1: so what what about the mastering and everything I mean

8:46 Speaker 1: did did was that also done in Illinois or where

8:49 Speaker 1: was that done?

8:50 Speaker 3: Yeah? That was done in Illinois as well.

8:51 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I can't I think Juan got another another

8:56 Speaker 4: guy and I can't.

8:57 Speaker 3: Remember his name just now ah oh ah, I can't.

9:06 Speaker 4: I can't remember the guy's name. Now I feel bad

9:09 Speaker 4: now I can't remember the guys there. But yeah, he got,

9:11 Speaker 4: he got, he got his friend to master it. Yeah,

9:15 Speaker 4: and I we had to redo vocals in one track.

9:19 Speaker 4: But I singer lyle he's he picks apart his vocals

9:25 Speaker 4: like worse than anybody his own. I know, everybody says this,

9:30 Speaker 4: that their own biggest critic. Yeah, he really is, man

9:35 Speaker 4: to the point where we're like, we have him to

9:36 Speaker 4: go lele.

9:37 Speaker 3: Look man, it's fine, it's good.

9:40 Speaker 4: So one of the one of the tracks he had

9:42 Speaker 4: to reado his vocals because he wasn't having it. So yeah,

9:46 Speaker 4: that was the only thing we've done over on Scotland,

9:48 Speaker 4: one of the vocals to a track called Falling Down

9:51 Speaker 4: that was over here the vocals.

9:54 Speaker 1: It's cool too that in terms of the mastering that

9:57 Speaker 1: it's still you know, because I would imagine somebody getting

9:59 Speaker 1: a hold of this who then has to master it.

10:02 Speaker 1: Who you know, you got to hope that they understand

10:06 Speaker 1: that what you know, what you're going for here, right,

10:09 Speaker 1: because I think it would probably be easy to take

10:11 Speaker 1: something like this and then master it in a way

10:14 Speaker 1: that maybe it loses a little bit of that rawness.

10:17 Speaker 1: But obviously obviously they got it right, which is fantastic.

10:23 Speaker 4: I think Juan was like I said before that Juwan

10:26 Speaker 4: was really keen to make sure that he got that

10:29 Speaker 4: sound that we've got in our rehearsal room.

10:31 Speaker 3: M hm. He was really keen on that. Like we

10:35 Speaker 3: see me.

10:35 Speaker 4: Personally, like like I recalled all the demos like on

10:39 Speaker 4: my own, like to bring into the boys all the

10:42 Speaker 4: music and stuff, and like I would spend I would

10:46 Speaker 4: spend the ten days in one song, yeah, and everything

10:50 Speaker 4: affected and like I love all that kind of stuff.

10:53 Speaker 4: But Joan's that no really keen for it. So the

10:57 Speaker 4: guy mastered it. He knew like what Juan, what Im

11:00 Speaker 4: and Joan work together, So like that way it wasn't

11:05 Speaker 4: going to get over produced and stuff.

11:07 Speaker 2: Mm hmmmm.

11:09 Speaker 3: They did.

11:09 Speaker 2: They did a great job.

11:12 Speaker 1: And were you were you intending from the beginning to

11:16 Speaker 1: do a full album because obviously, you know, we live

11:18 Speaker 1: in a time where you have a lot of different options.

11:20 Speaker 1: You know, you can do albums, you can do EPs.

11:22 Speaker 1: A lot of artists just released singles now, wasn't it

11:25 Speaker 1: was it important to you to do this as a

11:26 Speaker 1: full album as one cohesive set of songs. Was that

11:29 Speaker 1: a priority for you?

11:32 Speaker 4: I don't know about a priority, But we did want

11:35 Speaker 4: to do an album because like all the songs like

11:38 Speaker 4: actually tell a wild story.

11:41 Speaker 3: It's like a it's like this the Aliens, this time travel.

11:47 Speaker 3: The whole album actually tells a story.

11:50 Speaker 4: So like, like, we didn't set out to do that,

11:53 Speaker 4: it just kind of came about. Yeah, But like we

11:57 Speaker 4: always knew we wanted to do an album. Maybe I

11:59 Speaker 4: don't know, there's just something about saying I've got an

12:02 Speaker 4: album right rather than I've got a couple of.

12:05 Speaker 3: Songs out right right. Absolutely, it was always it was

12:10 Speaker 3: always an album. We've we've released a couple of EPs.

12:14 Speaker 4: An EP so far, and a couple of singles, but

12:17 Speaker 4: it's just because we haven't been able to get back

12:19 Speaker 4: over to the States to do album two.

12:23 Speaker 1: So so do you plan to ultimately return to UH

12:27 Speaker 1: to Illinois to do another to do more recording.

12:30 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, But we were actually we were actually meant

12:33 Speaker 4: to go to Nashville this time really yeah, October this year,

12:37 Speaker 4: but we had to cancel it. A singer ended up

12:40 Speaker 4: getting married, so he was skinned and I so I

12:46 Speaker 4: think his honeymoon was book drowned about that time as well,

12:49 Speaker 4: so he couldn't do it, So I don't We're trying

12:53 Speaker 4: to get over next year.

12:54 Speaker 3: Yeah, but Joanne coming over here. I'd love to. I

13:00 Speaker 3: recalled anywhere in the States, to be honest.

13:02 Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, well that's cool.

13:04 Speaker 3: Good. He's got a friend in Nashville. He was the guy.

13:09 Speaker 4: That he works with and Nashville done some of the

13:13 Speaker 4: songs for Red Dead Redemption too.

13:16 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, So like he was going to bring

13:18 Speaker 3: him in with us as well.

13:20 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, get a more cinematic sound because

13:24 Speaker 4: bands developed so like like with the sounds kind of developed,

13:28 Speaker 4: it's still got that kind of raw energy and stuff

13:30 Speaker 4: like that. Yeah, but there's there's a bit of cinematic

13:33 Speaker 4: kind of style as well. So he was wanting to

13:37 Speaker 4: bring on in this guy. But like I said, ultimately

13:40 Speaker 4: we couldn't do it. So I'm hoping to get over

13:42 Speaker 4: next year.

13:43 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Oh that's that's great, excellent, excellent. Hey, I

13:47 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you too about the artwork for the album.

13:50 Speaker 1: I really like that. Uh and I'm curious if who

13:53 Speaker 1: did that, if if it was somebody in the band,

13:55 Speaker 1: or or do somebody outside the band did that for you?

13:58 Speaker 4: It was it was lyle original concept that the guy

14:02 Speaker 4: with the box on his head. Yes, so like that

14:06 Speaker 4: was Lyle's original concept. And then we've got an artist

14:08 Speaker 4: to draw up and then like we said about because

14:12 Speaker 4: we've got space man and stuff like that, there was

14:15 Speaker 4: kind of like that feeling of like so other worldly stuff.

14:19 Speaker 4: So yeah, we wanted the kind of space ship bringing.

14:23 Speaker 3: We call him Brett. I'm a massive Brett Hart fan.

14:26 Speaker 2: Oh no kidding.

14:28 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so like we named the guy with the

14:30 Speaker 4: box on his head Brett. Yeah, so like we wanted

14:32 Speaker 4: to make it as if Brett was getting dropped off

14:35 Speaker 4: on Earth to.

14:36 Speaker 3: Bring our music.

14:37 Speaker 2: Yeah.

14:38 Speaker 3: Oh wow, that was kind of the concept of it.

14:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool. You like to hit man, Yeah, oh.

14:46 Speaker 3: Man, the best it was the best of us.

14:49 Speaker 1: That's awesome. No, that's very very cool. He's my second

14:51 Speaker 1: favorite of all time. My first favorite is Macho Man

14:53 Speaker 1: Randy Savage, but Brett is a Brett. Brett is a

14:57 Speaker 1: very very close number two, like.

15:00 Speaker 3: But Bett like as number two for me as well.

15:03 Speaker 3: Stone Cold's my favorite, though.

15:05 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean would be Sean would be my number three.

15:07 Speaker 1: We'll have to I do I also do a wrestling podcast.

15:10 Speaker 1: We'll have to, We'll have to get you on there. Absolutely.

15:15 Speaker 4: I like watched, like, like I said, stone Colds my favorite. Yeah,

15:19 Speaker 4: I watched it from the King of the Ring ninety six. Yeah,

15:24 Speaker 4: so I'd watch every raw, every pay per view, yeah,

15:27 Speaker 4: all the way they retired.

15:29 Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh wow.

15:31 Speaker 4: So like the matches with Brett Hart like that basically

15:34 Speaker 4: made stone Colds for me.

15:35 Speaker 3: So like that's why I've got a fon this for Brett.

15:37 Speaker 2: Yeah.

15:37 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely one. That's well, that's very cool, very cool.

15:43 Speaker 1: Oh you mentioned too, So so you collect vinyl? What's

15:46 Speaker 1: what's the vinyl situation like there? Because here in the

15:50 Speaker 1: United States, a lot of artists are still well all

15:54 Speaker 1: all the major labels still put out vinyl, which a

15:56 Speaker 1: lot of people don't even realize, but a lot of

15:58 Speaker 1: independent artists too. You know, it's active, but but they

16:01 Speaker 1: put music out on vinyl. I mean, do you do

16:03 Speaker 1: you do you have plans to release or maybe you

16:05 Speaker 1: already have.

16:06 Speaker 2: I don't know. Is is Candlewood two thirty coming out

16:08 Speaker 2: on vinyl?

16:09 Speaker 4: Or we actually had, we had plans to release it

16:13 Speaker 4: through a company over here, but it was like through

16:18 Speaker 4: a third party and then they pulled out, So like,

16:21 Speaker 4: really we want to and I think that's something we're

16:24 Speaker 4: going to do in the future. Yeah, like you said,

16:27 Speaker 4: is it's really really expensive, but it's something.

16:30 Speaker 3: It's it's something like I love.

16:31 Speaker 4: Because like having that physical copy of something I don't know.

16:36 Speaker 4: I like, I'm a collector of things, so like having

16:39 Speaker 4: like that is just I'd love to have my own album.

16:43 Speaker 3: Like on vinyl. That's just something that I aspire to have.

16:47 Speaker 4: Yeah, but over here, loads of bands do it, unsigned

16:50 Speaker 4: bands that loads.

16:53 Speaker 3: So they do. Yeah. Yeah's like I said, I absolutely

16:57 Speaker 3: love it. Yeah, vinyl. And I've got my oldest boy

18:08 Speaker 4: it's a lot of the things.

18:10 Speaker 3: Is like pay to play basically. Oh yeah, and it's like.

18:15 Speaker 4: It's it's hard for a band coming up because promoters

18:19 Speaker 4: want you to be able to sell tickets, but bands

18:21 Speaker 4: need to get around the places to start leaving an impression, right,

18:25 Speaker 4: so the cell tickets in the future, so it's kind

18:28 Speaker 4: of hard. But we've got a few gigs down south.

18:30 Speaker 4: We'll get one in Derby and we're trying to get

18:34 Speaker 4: to London. We've got a few folk down in London

19:20 Speaker 3: I feel like I'm too young for it to be happening.

19:22 Speaker 2: To Yeah, well there's that, there's that part, all right. No,

19:31 Speaker 2: that's cool though. That's that's extremely cool. Yea cool, very good.

19:35 Speaker 2: So the EP is that going to be all new?

19:38 Speaker 2: Are any of those? Are any of the songs from

19:39 Speaker 2: Kennel Wood two thirty going to be on that? Or

19:41 Speaker 2: is it all new stuff?

19:42 Speaker 3: For all new stuff?

19:44 Speaker 4: Oh?

19:44 Speaker 2: Wow?

19:45 Speaker 3: Three new originals like well nightmarees on it. We've got

19:49 Speaker 3: dB Cooper and we've actually got coveredable doing of If

19:54 Speaker 3: you heard.

19:54 Speaker 2: Of Nolan Porter, I'm not familiar.

19:57 Speaker 4: It's like a kind of no them soul, like a

20:00 Speaker 4: soul I know, he's got a song called if I Could.

20:03 Speaker 3: Only Be Sure? Okay, really man, So we do a

20:07 Speaker 3: kind of a rockier cover of it. Okay, so that's

20:10 Speaker 3: going to be on it as well. Oh excellent, it's

20:13 Speaker 3: one of the four songs.

20:14 Speaker 4: But we've got loads of songs there, and we're trying

20:17 Speaker 4: to kind of space it out throughout the year and

20:20 Speaker 4: with the thought of recording another album, so we're trying

20:24 Speaker 4: to keep songs back for this album and trying to

20:27 Speaker 4: get songs.

20:28 Speaker 3: And you know what I mean, trying to kind of

20:31 Speaker 3: spin plates basically right right.

20:34 Speaker 2: Yeah, that that can be that can be a challenge.

20:36 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a good problem, having a sense, but

20:38 Speaker 1: when you've got more material than is necessarily practical to

20:43 Speaker 1: release in a compressed period of time and you have

20:45 Speaker 1: to kind of space it out, and you know, timing

20:48 Speaker 1: is everything in this business, but that that can be

20:50 Speaker 1: a challenge too, when you've got a you know, I mean,

20:52 Speaker 1: when you when you're creating. You know, I've been in

20:55 Speaker 1: bands and I'm a songwriter, and I know that when

20:57 Speaker 1: you when you create something and you're proud of it,

21:00 Speaker 1: you want to share it with the world, and so

21:02 Speaker 1: much of this of just doing this is having the

21:05 Speaker 1: discipline to be able to hold it back, and that

21:08 Speaker 1: can be very hard.

21:09 Speaker 4: Definitely. That the other problem as well as like your

21:12 Speaker 4: newest song that you write that everybody in the band loves,

21:15 Speaker 4: is your favorite song of all time, Yes, and then

21:18 Speaker 4: like see, maybe six months down the line, you've maybe

21:20 Speaker 4: wrote two or three more songs after that, which you've

21:22 Speaker 4: got the exact same feeling about. Yeah, and then the

21:25 Speaker 4: song that you originally wrote is then just coming out,

21:28 Speaker 4: so you don't have the same feeling towards it.

21:29 Speaker 3: It's trying to kind of balance that as well.

21:32 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's challenging.

21:35 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, but we've kind of got it's

21:39 Speaker 4: all written down the plans there. I wish one of

21:42 Speaker 4: the other boys was here to help me because Leo

21:45 Speaker 4: the singer, he knows a lot more of the details.

21:47 Speaker 1: And a yeah, well that's okay, Now you're doing great.

21:50 Speaker 1: We've learned a lot this morning, actually absolutely absolutely Bass. Well,

21:56 Speaker 1: we will have to and we'll definitely have to have

21:58 Speaker 1: you back for the when the is coming out, because

22:01 Speaker 1: we want to we want to get you back on

22:02 Speaker 1: for that talk about that and well and we'll you know,

22:05 Speaker 1: we'll we'll play you know whatever the first single is

22:07 Speaker 1: from that, we'd love to play it on the show.

22:10 Speaker 1: Where where's the best place for people to go to

22:12 Speaker 1: keep up with everything that you guys are doing that

22:14 Speaker 1: the Box of Trash is doing.

22:16 Speaker 3: I think.

22:18 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not on Instagram, but I think a

22:20 Speaker 4: lot of the stuff is on Instagram, okay.

22:22 Speaker 3: And Instagram and Twitter. It's basically the two main ones.

22:25 Speaker 2: Okay.

22:27 Speaker 4: I think Lyle does like tiktoks as well. We've got

22:31 Speaker 4: a YouTube channel that's got like live videos from our

22:34 Speaker 4: gigs and stuff as well.

22:35 Speaker 3: Excellent, So YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Twitter.

22:40 Speaker 2: Yeah, all the all the sis. Yeah, I know, I

22:44 Speaker 2: still call it Twitter too. It's hard to I'm not gonna.

22:48 Speaker 3: I can't not call it Twitter now.

22:50 Speaker 1: Well, the problem is if if if you say Twitter,

22:53 Speaker 1: everyone knows what you're talking about. But if you say X,

22:55 Speaker 1: sometimes people don't know what you mean. You know, depending

22:57 Speaker 1: on the context, it's like X. Yeah, well, very good,
