Despyre | Matt Connarton Unleashed

0:00 Speaker 1: As I like to say. If that doesn't get you

0:02 Speaker 1: move in check your pulse, you might be dead. That

0:04 Speaker 1: is so good. That is faithless. The band is Despire,

0:07 Speaker 1: and we've got Rob, the vocalist from Despire here on

0:09 Speaker 1: the line with us.

0:10 Speaker 2: Rob. Rob.

0:11 Speaker 1: How do you say your last name?

0:12 Speaker 2: By the way, Melvagna, Well that's the americanized way in Italy,

0:17 Speaker 2: the g is silent Melvano.

0:20 Speaker 1: Oh, Melvano. Okay, all right, very good, very good. By

0:22 Speaker 1: the way, is it just you r Do you have

0:24 Speaker 1: any of your bandmates with you or are we just

0:26 Speaker 1: talking to you right now?

0:28 Speaker 2: No, it's it's just just me right now. Sorry, they're

0:32 Speaker 2: all listening on the link.

0:33 Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, cool, well, yeah, welcome to the show.

0:37 Speaker 1: Like I said, I love that track. And is this

0:40 Speaker 1: so the name Despire? That's a Is that a combination

0:43 Speaker 1: of despair and inspire? Is that correct?

0:46 Speaker 2: Yes, it is. You know, we wanted to take the

0:49 Speaker 2: two emotions of you know, the lowest of the lows

0:52 Speaker 2: and the highest of the highs, you know, and kind

0:55 Speaker 2: of put it together and you know, come up with

0:57 Speaker 2: that made up name there. But you know, we because

1:01 Speaker 2: everybody goes through that, you know, and that's kind of

1:04 Speaker 2: what leads you to either be successful or you know,

1:09 Speaker 2: to deal with your problems in life, right you know,

1:13 Speaker 2: so we wanted to take those two emotions and combine

1:15 Speaker 2: them right.

1:16 Speaker 1: Right now, that makes sense. And you guys have been

1:18 Speaker 1: together since twenty fifteen, is that right?

1:22 Speaker 2: Yep?

1:22 Speaker 1: So I love it.

1:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we we've played with each other before this.

1:27 Speaker 2: You know, we've all been very good friends in the industry,

1:31 Speaker 2: and we've played in formations of other bands, and then

1:35 Speaker 2: then we happened to get together and stuck jamming and

1:38 Speaker 2: writing some music. And one of our earlier songs, which

1:42 Speaker 2: is on our first EP, Black, the song is got

1:46 Speaker 2: in the hands of Joey Z from Life of Agony,

1:49 Speaker 2: who reached out and said, you know, I like this,

1:51 Speaker 2: what are you guys doing? I'd love to record some

1:54 Speaker 2: of your new stuff, and hence that's what led to

1:57 Speaker 2: our first DP Irritation, which Joey's from My Fagne produced,

2:02 Speaker 2: which inevitably got us signed to Pavement Records.

2:05 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I mean connecting with Joey Z. That's uh.

2:08 Speaker 1: You guys got off to a great start early on.

2:10 Speaker 1: That's that's amazing. Life of Agne, Agony of course, such

2:14 Speaker 1: a great band. But oh that's that's uh so cool.

2:18 Speaker 1: I mean you probably learned a lot from him, I

2:19 Speaker 1: would imagine, Uh yeah, you know what.

2:24 Speaker 2: Was great was you know, I was a Life of

2:26 Speaker 2: Agony fan, you know before that, and I learned a

2:31 Speaker 2: lot from him, not only in the studio but just

2:36 Speaker 2: in general in life itself. You know, he's a very

2:40 Speaker 2: down throat guy. We became friends, you know, so it

2:44 Speaker 2: was a big eye opener on how things had done

2:46 Speaker 2: in an industry and how he brought out, you know,

2:49 Speaker 2: certain aspects of the band and recording. You know, we

2:52 Speaker 2: just worked well together.

2:54 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And then now tell us about so

2:59 Speaker 1: present day Faithless. I know that's the newest that came

3:02 Speaker 1: out pretty recently, right, the new single Faithless.

3:06 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know we aren't with Pavement any longer.

3:10 Speaker 2: You know, things happened in twenty twenty with COVID. You know,

3:16 Speaker 2: the band itself went through a lot of changes and

3:19 Speaker 2: unfortunate deaths. In our first drummer passed away, and then

3:24 Speaker 2: family members, mothers, fathers. After COVID, and then I had

3:30 Speaker 2: a health scare. I was diagnosed with cancer, went through

3:32 Speaker 2: my treatments and in this process a drummer that was

3:37 Speaker 2: with us. We had about seven songs that we had written,

3:41 Speaker 2: so Griffin went in the studio recorded the drums because

3:44 Speaker 2: we you know, we knew that we were going to

3:46 Speaker 2: be coming back out once I got to clear and okay,

3:49 Speaker 2: you know, we started recording some songs and it was

3:52 Speaker 2: time to release them, you know. And now we have

3:55 Speaker 2: big news coming up in the upcoming weeks. We have

3:59 Speaker 2: some offers on the tape that we will be announcing

4:01 Speaker 2: shortly for these upcoming singles that will be released.

4:05 Speaker 1: Oh, excellent, excellent. As far as the cancer, I mean,

4:10 Speaker 1: you're you're you free and clear now clear of it?

4:13 Speaker 2: Yeah, right now. I reached one hundred perc REMISSIONO. So

4:17 Speaker 2: things are looking good, you know. And it it just

4:20 Speaker 2: made me stronger as a person and to move forward,

4:24 Speaker 2: you know, and do what I love.

4:25 Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, that's good for you. I'm glad to hear that. Wow. Yeah.

4:31 Speaker 1: And you guys have been through a lot, I mean obviously. Yeah.

4:34 Speaker 1: It's interesting how COVID even even now in twenty twenty six,

4:39 Speaker 1: it it comes up in a lot of conversations on

4:41 Speaker 1: the show because it just affected so many people. And

4:44 Speaker 1: you know, when you're when your whole thing is especially

4:46 Speaker 1: if you're playing live music, you know, it really it

4:50 Speaker 1: really affected.

4:51 Speaker 2: Uh and that's everything exactly. That's kind of what happened.

4:54 Speaker 2: You know, the momentum of the band was really going well,

4:57 Speaker 2: and uh, you know, the world stopped. Yeah, and we're

5:00 Speaker 2: not Metallica, you know what I mean. So it's like

5:03 Speaker 2: starting over again.

5:04 Speaker 1: Absolutely, especially where you are too, because you're in New

5:08 Speaker 1: York and and uh man, I mean New York City

5:12 Speaker 1: really got hit hard. Well, I mean that was that

5:14 Speaker 1: was really for a while. That was kind of the

5:16 Speaker 1: epicenter in the country for for COVID nineteen. It just

5:19 Speaker 1: just just awful. Are you guys ever everybody who's in

5:23 Speaker 1: the band now, are you all from New York? Uh?

5:26 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all from Long Island, New York. You know,

5:30 Speaker 2: like I said, we've been brothers forever. You know, it

5:34 Speaker 2: feels like, you know, it's like having another marriage. But

5:37 Speaker 2: we're all great friends. You know, we're all within you know,

5:42 Speaker 2: a half hour of each other. Yeah, a couple of

5:44 Speaker 2: guys live very close and then the rest of us

5:46 Speaker 2: are within twenty minutes of a half hour of each other.

5:49 Speaker 2: And then recently we just announced that the newest member,

5:53 Speaker 2: our newest drummer. She is incredible. Bobby Dima went through

5:58 Speaker 2: a lot of auditions and drummers and she just is

6:02 Speaker 2: filling the gap and bringing a whole new energy to

6:05 Speaker 2: the band. So, you know, I just wanted to give

6:08 Speaker 2: a formal welcome to her on the air.

6:10 Speaker 1: Oh very cool. Yeah, congratulations to her. That's awesome. That's awesome.

6:15 Speaker 1: Do you feel like, I'm curious, being from New York

6:18 Speaker 1: and such a part of the scene there, do you

6:22 Speaker 1: feel like New York has shaped your sound because it's

6:24 Speaker 1: such a rich history of heavy music coming out of

6:27 Speaker 1: that area. And we had a actually just recently, we

6:31 Speaker 1: had Frequency Overload on the show, and you know, they're

6:33 Speaker 1: from there obviously, and they're amazing. But I mean, does

6:36 Speaker 1: do you think is there I guess what I'm trying

6:38 Speaker 1: to ask is is there a New York sound as

6:40 Speaker 1: far as heavy music, like what you guys are doing.

6:43 Speaker 1: Is there a New York sound? And are you what

6:46 Speaker 1: you do?

6:47 Speaker 2: It's a great question because I actually think there is,

6:50 Speaker 2: you know, and it goes way back to the days

6:54 Speaker 2: of you know, when the thrash metal and s female,

6:56 Speaker 2: when you had like bands like Anthrax, and then the

6:59 Speaker 2: hard course s with like Biohazard and Life of Agony,

7:02 Speaker 2: you know, and Sheer Terror and all these bands that

7:05 Speaker 2: came out of the area. And then of course there

7:08 Speaker 2: was the glam movement too, you know, New York Dolls

7:10 Speaker 2: and Kiss, and so I think the East Coast in general,

7:15 Speaker 2: New York area and up towards your area, it's it's

7:17 Speaker 2: a it's a different roarer, more in your face, I feel,

7:23 Speaker 2: style of music, you know. So yeah, I do think

7:28 Speaker 2: even though music has changed tremendously, and and the scene

7:31 Speaker 2: itself has changed tremendously, not just here in New York

7:34 Speaker 2: but throughout the United States. You know, in the old days,

7:38 Speaker 2: there was so many clubs and everybody came out to

7:40 Speaker 2: see music, and that was the only way was to

7:43 Speaker 2: go to see bands live. You know. Nowadays with social

7:45 Speaker 2: media and YouTube, you don't have to go anywhere. You know,

7:47 Speaker 2: everything's there right the ship to your thing is. But

7:51 Speaker 2: I think that you definitely can tell the sound of

7:54 Speaker 2: our music and where we're from geographically. So I do

7:58 Speaker 2: do feel that there is a certain and sound it

8:00 Speaker 2: comes out of New York. It's the aggression, it's the

8:04 Speaker 2: in your face, you know, and then just the way

8:08 Speaker 2: of living out here, the fast paced and of society

8:12 Speaker 2: in general, and people are so stressed and it comes

8:15 Speaker 2: out in the music.

8:16 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, What is your so for the track Faithless,

8:22 Speaker 1: which which again I love it, it's just so good.

8:25 Speaker 1: Is this part of a larger project now? I mean,

8:28 Speaker 1: do you have a because there's so many different ways

8:30 Speaker 1: to release music now. Is is it part of an

8:32 Speaker 1: EP or an album or are you just releasing singles

8:35 Speaker 1: at this point? What's what's kind of your your plan?

8:39 Speaker 2: Okay, so you hit it on the head. I mean

8:42 Speaker 2: like music has changed, you know. No longer are the

8:45 Speaker 2: days of where I can run to the store and

8:46 Speaker 2: I was waiting for that Iron Maiden record to come out,

8:49 Speaker 2: hit the album cover and I wanted to read the

8:51 Speaker 2: liner notes and you know, immerse myself in it while

8:54 Speaker 2: I was into music. So, you know, people unfortunately, people's

8:58 Speaker 2: attention span is a lot less nowadays, and they want

9:03 Speaker 2: not so much instant gratification, but they want to hear

9:06 Speaker 2: a song and they want to move on to the

9:08 Speaker 2: next you know, band and put it in their playlist.

9:10 Speaker 2: So we what we plan on doing moving forward right

9:15 Speaker 2: now is we will be releasing singles as they come up,

9:20 Speaker 2: and then as we finish writing them, and then our

9:22 Speaker 2: plan is once we release these next group of writings

9:26 Speaker 2: that we had, we're gonna put together an EP or

9:29 Speaker 2: an album of them, so everybody can get it as

9:32 Speaker 2: like a special order or through a company or whatever.

9:36 Speaker 2: This way they can have everything encompassed in in a

9:40 Speaker 2: CD vinyl. But the initial release is going to be

9:43 Speaker 2: based on singles. You know, everyone of Thespire songs, aside

9:49 Speaker 2: from the first couple albums, they each song is different,

9:54 Speaker 2: you know. So if you think a listen to our

9:56 Speaker 2: songs when we write, they will have a different feel,

9:59 Speaker 2: different emotions, or a different story to tell. Okay, I

10:02 Speaker 2: think we did that intentionally. We didn't want to be auditional.

10:05 Speaker 2: This album sounds like this. The new single that will

10:09 Speaker 2: be dropping the beginning of August and of July is

10:12 Speaker 2: a total different sound for us. It's still heavy and

10:16 Speaker 2: it's dark, but it's different. It's in a different direction

10:20 Speaker 2: from the rest of the music that we have out.

10:22 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Yeah, you're your trajectory as far as the singles,

10:26 Speaker 1: and then eventually, you know, they coalesce into an EP.

10:30 Speaker 1: That's that's how a lot of artists seem to be

10:31 Speaker 1: doing it now too. It's kind of the kind of

10:33 Speaker 1: the inverse of what it used to be. You know,

10:35 Speaker 1: when I was growing up, it was you know, a

10:39 Speaker 1: band might release a single for an upcoming album. Single

10:42 Speaker 1: goes to radio six eight weeks before the album comes out.

10:44 Speaker 1: Then the album comes out, and then if everything goes well,

10:47 Speaker 1: you know, there might be a second single, there might

10:49 Speaker 1: be a third single. But now a lot of artists

10:51 Speaker 1: are doing it, you know, the inverse of that, like

10:53 Speaker 1: you described, you know, you release a series of singles

10:56 Speaker 1: that will eventually coalesce into an EP or an album.

10:59 Speaker 1: Just kind of the and it you know, and it

11:01 Speaker 1: makes sense. You know, you got to feed the algorithm.

11:02 Speaker 1: You got to keep people interested and uh.

11:05 Speaker 2: Exactly, yeah, you have to be relevant. You know, you

11:09 Speaker 2: have to keep it exactly what you said. You have

11:11 Speaker 2: to keep it rolling. You know, a good a good

11:15 Speaker 2: food of thought is you know, every five to six

11:18 Speaker 2: weeks if you can, you know, if you have the

11:20 Speaker 2: music written, you know, try to release something. You've got

11:22 Speaker 2: to keep yourself in everybody's face, right, And that's kind

11:25 Speaker 2: of how the music business is now. Yeah, it's not

11:29 Speaker 2: a collective work because an album people aren't going to

11:32 Speaker 2: listen to it unfortunately for you know, another two years.

11:36 Speaker 2: So you got to keep yourself relevant by throwing things out.

11:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, and what's the live, uh kind of touring situation

11:44 Speaker 1: for you guys, because obviously you're in an area where, uh,

11:47 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's such a great array of venues

11:51 Speaker 1: you can play out. Imagine, you know, it's such a

11:53 Speaker 1: vibrant scene there in New York. Are you guys playing

11:56 Speaker 1: out a lot? Are you doing a lot of shows?

11:57 Speaker 1: You're going on tour? What's what's been happening there?

12:00 Speaker 2: Well, we so before all this happened, you know, we

12:03 Speaker 2: were ramping up. We did a tour of Boba Flex

12:07 Speaker 2: and then we toured Canada and the Northeast with Life

12:10 Speaker 2: of Agony. So we were ramping up and we were

12:13 Speaker 2: just about ready to do a European leg and get

12:17 Speaker 2: into the festivals. And then, like we were talking before,

12:19 Speaker 2: Bam COVID hit. So our trajectory now is we're we're

12:24 Speaker 2: building up the fan base. If a good tour came up,

12:28 Speaker 2: you know, obviously it would be on the table, but

12:31 Speaker 2: we are really looking for a lot of like fly dates.

12:35 Speaker 2: We're trying to get into the festival scene. You know,

12:38 Speaker 2: we do want to actually come up to your area.

12:42 Speaker 2: We're looking into New Hampshire. We have right now, we're

12:44 Speaker 2: all working on dates in New Jersey, Connecticut, North Carolina.

12:49 Speaker 2: We have a show which is our comeback show on

12:54 Speaker 2: Long Island October sixteenth in New York. That's a Friday night.

12:59 Speaker 2: That is our next show that we have on the books. Yeah,

13:04 Speaker 2: you know, that's kind of where we're looking to be

13:06 Speaker 2: right now. The scene here, you know, and I'm sure

13:08 Speaker 2: it's it's kind of like that everywhere. Unfortunately for original music,

13:14 Speaker 2: it's it's very hard. It's not like it used to be.

13:16 Speaker 2: Every club, every bar wants cover bands and tribute bands

13:21 Speaker 2: now taking nothing away from those bands. You know, the

13:24 Speaker 2: club owners they don't care anymore honestly about promoting original music.

13:29 Speaker 2: It's all about, you know, the money and how what

13:31 Speaker 2: they can put in their pockets and how many people

13:32 Speaker 2: you can get through the door, and you know, and

13:36 Speaker 2: it's changeable. Back in the day, I'm sure you remember

13:39 Speaker 2: in the eighties. I mean, people went out to see

13:43 Speaker 2: music they didn't know. They wanted to reach out and

13:46 Speaker 2: find new bands and new things that would turn them on.

13:49 Speaker 2: And it's kind of not like that anymore. So you

13:51 Speaker 2: have to your job as someone in a band is

13:53 Speaker 2: a lot harder now, you know, from from my perspective.

13:59 Speaker 1: Yeah, well now you're competing with so much. You know,

14:03 Speaker 1: you're you're competing with Netflix and and uh and YouTube

14:08 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, and and gaming and and

14:12 Speaker 1: all of it. There's there's so many things now. There's

14:14 Speaker 1: a lot more things that you can do at home now, uh,

14:17 Speaker 1: instead of going out that you couldn't do before. So

14:20 Speaker 1: so that's that's always a challenge.

14:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's like what I said before. You know,

14:25 Speaker 2: people don't need they don't have to go to see

14:27 Speaker 2: a band. You know, radios are put on YouTube. They

14:30 Speaker 2: could sit in their house, not spend any money and

14:32 Speaker 2: watch a video of the band live or a live

14:35 Speaker 2: stream and there it is. Yeah, which to me takes

14:38 Speaker 2: away from the whole purpose of live music. I like

14:42 Speaker 2: the vibe with the audience and the sound of a

14:45 Speaker 2: bass drum just like crushing your your ribs, and when

14:48 Speaker 2: you're there, it's like you can't experience that sitting in

14:52 Speaker 2: your living room exactly.

14:54 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I agree. I agree. So October sixteenth is

14:59 Speaker 1: the next show for you guys. And you've got some

15:01 Speaker 1: other opportunities coming up. It sounds like, so that's that's great.

15:04 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're we're working on a lot of opportunities that

15:07 Speaker 2: will be announced in the upcoming weeks. So we'll be

15:10 Speaker 2: around Okay, you know we're gonna be heading out there

15:13 Speaker 2: and then especially going into next year, in the next

15:16 Speaker 2: festival season, you know you'll be seeing this fire a

15:19 Speaker 2: lot more.

15:20 Speaker 1: Oh, fantastic, fantastic. In a in a moment, we'll we'll

15:25 Speaker 1: let you go and we're gonna play. I've got another

15:28 Speaker 1: track here that I'm gonna play at the end of

15:29 Speaker 1: our conversation, Blue Sky Reborn. You've got a this is

15:34 Speaker 1: really and this show is a different side of you guys.

15:38 Speaker 1: Great song, but you've also got a guest vocalist on this.

15:43 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Alicia Rose. You know, I thought that she

15:48 Speaker 2: had the perfect voice. She's a she's a local musician

15:51 Speaker 2: from our area, and she has a great tone to

15:54 Speaker 2: her voice. And the story of Blue Sky I felt

15:57 Speaker 2: in the band members in the band, we all discussed

15:59 Speaker 2: this and we felt that it would fit perfect with

16:02 Speaker 2: what we were looking to do. So the original song

16:04 Speaker 2: Blue Sky, which is on our EP, it was written

16:09 Speaker 2: based on. Unfortunately in my life I had about seven

16:12 Speaker 2: times happened to me. I had to deal with suicide.

16:15 Speaker 2: So when the song was written, it was about the

16:19 Speaker 2: what the people who are left behind have to deal

16:21 Speaker 2: with and how you need to find ways of moving forward.

16:26 Speaker 2: That's kind of what the song is about. And now

16:28 Speaker 2: it's also taken on if a loved one has passed,

16:30 Speaker 2: you know, how do I get through this? So we

16:33 Speaker 2: wanted an answer to that, you know, we thought, let's

16:37 Speaker 2: do this acoustics, show a different side of the band

16:39 Speaker 2: and show someone which is her part answering back to

16:43 Speaker 2: you when you're asking them. You know, I'm looking searching

16:45 Speaker 2: for blue Skies. You know, I miss your voice, and

16:48 Speaker 2: now this person is answering you back and kind of saying, look,

16:52 Speaker 2: everything's okay, nothing was your fault, but I'm here for you.

16:56 Speaker 2: So that's kind of what Blue Sky Reborn is about.

16:59 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, it's a it's a great song. And

17:04 Speaker 1: by the way, did you say so seven times you've

17:07 Speaker 1: you've dealt with the people you know who've committed suicide.

17:11 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, and they between family members and very close friends.

17:17 Speaker 2: You know, it's uh something, Depression is real, you know,

17:23 Speaker 2: a lot of times you don't you don't know it.

17:25 Speaker 2: With the people that are going through it, they kind

17:27 Speaker 2: of just do it, yeah, you know, and it catches

17:30 Speaker 2: it by surprise, you know. But there are places out there,

17:33 Speaker 2: people to talk to, you know, and and thank god

17:37 Speaker 2: I have music and and you know, that's one way

17:40 Speaker 2: myself and the band members can talk about things. But

17:44 Speaker 2: hopefully it touches something and someone else and they're able

17:48 Speaker 2: to hear something and it helps them. Part of being

17:52 Speaker 2: an artist, you know, you want to help people. But unfortunately, yes,

17:55 Speaker 2: I had, I had to deal with that. I don't

17:56 Speaker 2: I don't want to deal with it anymore, but you

17:59 Speaker 2: got to find way to continue.
