0:55 Speaker 2: Yep?

0:56 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you guys are very very well high energy

1:00 Speaker 1: obviously it's but uh yeah, like I said, I mean

1:04 Speaker 1: that really gets the that really gets the blood pumping.

1:06 Speaker 1: And you guys are from Long Island? Is that correct?

1:09 Speaker 2: That's right. Yep.

1:10 Speaker 1: What does the scene like there? I mean, are there

1:11 Speaker 1: a lot of Is there a lot of hardcore bands there,

1:14 Speaker 1: you know, classic thrash and that kind of stuff, or

1:16 Speaker 1: you guys kind of I don't know the lay of

1:18 Speaker 1: the land there exactly. I mean, obviously you're in New York,

1:21 Speaker 1: but you know there's a lot of different kinds of

1:23 Speaker 1: music there. But what you guys are doing. Are there

1:25 Speaker 1: a lot of bands kind of doing something similar or

1:27 Speaker 1: are you guys sort of on your own in that

1:28 Speaker 1: sense what we're.

1:30 Speaker 4: Kind of on our own in the particular style that

1:35 Speaker 4: we play in. Yeah, but there is a lot of

1:38 Speaker 4: new metal, death metal, some hardcore and crossover band still

1:43 Speaker 4: around and we all play together.

1:44 Speaker 2: We're all friends basically.

1:46 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well that's good.

1:48 Speaker 2: There's there's a big local scene.

1:50 Speaker 5: The only thing the only downside is is not ah,

1:53 Speaker 5: there's not many good local venues to get ourselves out

1:56 Speaker 5: there on right.

1:58 Speaker 1: Yeah. That can be a challenge anywhere, you know, especially

2:00 Speaker 1: with what you guys are doing, because it's not like,

2:02 Speaker 1: you know, like if you're playing acoustic guitars, you know,

2:05 Speaker 1: you can do coffeehouses and stuff like that. But what

2:08 Speaker 1: you guys are doing obviously, you need a stage where

2:09 Speaker 1: you can really I mean, I would imagine, you know,

2:12 Speaker 1: you get moshpits going and all that, so you need, uh,

2:15 Speaker 1: you need places that can really kind of contain, uh,

2:18 Speaker 1: what you're doing. Have you guys, has has Frequency Overload

2:22 Speaker 1: been around for a while? Have you guys been out

2:24 Speaker 1: this a while? Or how long has the band existed?

2:27 Speaker 2: About four and a half years?

2:29 Speaker 1: Also not that long.

2:30 Speaker 2: Okay, it's been a year. Yeah, we got at.

2:40 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's excellent. That's excellent. So tell me about thrash King.

2:43 Speaker 1: Love that song. I did make a radio edit of

2:45 Speaker 1: it for for our purposes here today, But I love

2:49 Speaker 1: that track. You know, it's the kind of thing if

2:51 Speaker 1: you're listening to it in the car, you're gonna end

2:53 Speaker 1: up getting pulled over for speeding. But tell me about

2:56 Speaker 1: thrash King and the inspiration behind that. Yeah, maybe kind

2:59 Speaker 1: of like the Reage song exactly exactly.

3:04 Speaker 4: The way that most of our songs come to come

3:09 Speaker 4: to life is the guys write it and then present

3:13 Speaker 4: it to me and basically the song dictates to me.

3:18 Speaker 4: I'm more like a conduit when I write the lyrics,

3:20 Speaker 4: like the song tells me what it is.

3:22 Speaker 2: Yeah, and for whatever.

3:24 Speaker 4: Reason, when I heard that, it hit me like the

3:27 Speaker 4: good old you know, no fluff, toxic Waltz, port Namash, you.

3:35 Speaker 2: Know, into the pit by.

3:37 Speaker 4: By Testament, like a regular song, not trying to make

3:41 Speaker 4: any messaging to anybody, but slam for Slam's sake, you know.

3:45 Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I'd say it accomplishes that certainly. Is that

3:49 Speaker 1: must be a crowd favorite?

3:50 Speaker 2: Right?

3:50 Speaker 1: Do you guys play out a lot? Are you playing

3:51 Speaker 1: a lot of shows?

3:53 Speaker 2: Uh? We play.

3:55 Speaker 4: We kind of took a little bit of a hiatus

3:58 Speaker 4: to record the second album.

3:59 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we played.

4:03 Speaker 4: I guess it was a month ago. Spring Slaughter two

4:07 Speaker 4: we played. Is that a place called Shakers over in Oakdale?

4:10 Speaker 2: By us?

4:11 Speaker 4: We're playing the two weeks from today. Yeah, we're playing

4:16 Speaker 4: two weeks from today at a record store okay called

4:19 Speaker 4: record stop. Yeah, we play a record store. I talked

4:23 Speaker 4: to our video guy this morning. He might be down

4:25 Speaker 4: there and do a live stream on our Facebook page.

4:27 Speaker 2: We're trying to figure that out.

4:29 Speaker 4: And then we have another book, another gig booked for

4:34 Speaker 4: October twenty third, which is at one of the biggest

4:37 Speaker 4: stages around here called Stereo Garden, And that's with some

4:42 Speaker 4: other bigger bands, including a band called Anika that's kind

4:47 Speaker 4: of making a name for themselves in the city.

4:49 Speaker 1: Okay, excellent, excellent. It's cool that you're going to play

4:54 Speaker 1: a record store. I mean, are there a lot of

4:55 Speaker 1: those there still or because I know, you know, here

4:58 Speaker 1: in New Hampshire, there's a surprising you'd be surprised at

5:01 Speaker 1: how many of there still are.

5:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a couple of pretty good ones on

5:06 Speaker 4: Long Island. This one actually it's a new location. It's

5:10 Speaker 4: in Patchog, But when it was in a place called

5:14 Speaker 4: ron Kankama.

5:15 Speaker 2: We're talking about the eighties.

5:16 Speaker 4: I bought my first Mayhem album, now, my first Player album. Now.

5:21 Speaker 4: The name record Stop has been around forever, and when

5:24 Speaker 4: the two owners, Bruce and his partner sold out, somebody

5:27 Speaker 4: bought the name, you know, they bought the name as

5:29 Speaker 4: the franchise.

5:30 Speaker 2: And moved it to Patchog.

5:33 Speaker 3: Yeah, most of my collection is from that store.

5:38 Speaker 1: Oh, that's so cool.

5:40 Speaker 2: Yeah, the place was awesome back in the day.

5:42 Speaker 4: Bootlegs, you know, live Slayer albums that someone like recorded

5:47 Speaker 4: on a a I don't know, handheld radio and then

5:51 Speaker 4: put onto a record you know, like an LP.

5:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was crazy stuff. They had that. Yeah, this

5:57 Speaker 2: is Corey.

5:57 Speaker 3: I also like the fact that the b is start

6:00 Speaker 3: to come back a little bit. I me and my

6:02 Speaker 3: son will buying some vinyls and we play them. That's

6:04 Speaker 3: pretty cool.

6:05 Speaker 2: I like doing that, you know.

6:07 Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh yeah, Well, vinyl, I mean never really went away,

6:10 Speaker 1: but I think it was what was it twenty It

6:12 Speaker 1: was either twenty twenty four or twenty twenty three, was

6:14 Speaker 1: like the first year since the inception of CDs that

6:18 Speaker 1: vinyl actually outsold CDs. More people were buying vinyl than CDs.

6:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's fun.

6:25 Speaker 1: Nothing sounds better than vinyl, you know, the warmth of

6:27 Speaker 1: it and everything.

6:28 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's great.

6:30 Speaker 4: Not only that, it's a it's a process. It's a

6:33 Speaker 4: chance to unplug, put it on. You're going to listen

6:36 Speaker 4: to the whole side now.

6:37 Speaker 2: Right, and then whip it. It takes away that.

6:41 Speaker 4: That digital you know, I need immediate satisfaction and onto

6:46 Speaker 4: the next It takes that away, which is great.

6:48 Speaker 3: And you can also look at the artwork and read

6:50 Speaker 3: the lyrics again and all that other stuff.

6:52 Speaker 2: So that's that's kind of cool too.

6:53 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's one of the great things about

6:56 Speaker 1: physical media is you know, you know, when I was

6:58 Speaker 1: a kid. You know, I'm sure you guys were the

7:00 Speaker 1: same way. I mean, I loved, uh, just looking at

7:03 Speaker 1: if I was really into an artist, I would buy

7:05 Speaker 1: everything that they put out, and I would look at

7:07 Speaker 1: even just like stuff like you know who their management

7:10 Speaker 1: company was, and you know, just any little, any teeny

7:14 Speaker 1: tiny speck of information I could find within the liner

7:16 Speaker 1: notes of the album or the cassette or the CD

7:19 Speaker 1: or whatever it was. I was, uh, you know, that's

7:22 Speaker 1: that's how obsessive I could be with that stuff. And

7:24 Speaker 1: it's good. It's good that it's never gone away. You know,

7:27 Speaker 1: it's still even CDs. I would say, you know, five

7:31 Speaker 1: or six years ago, a lot of the guests that

7:33 Speaker 1: I would interview, they were like, CDs now, that's that's

7:35 Speaker 1: a dead medium. And now everybody's everybody's putting out CDs

7:38 Speaker 1: and and and a lot of artists, you know, major

7:41 Speaker 1: label artists of course, always released on vinyl. But but

7:44 Speaker 1: even though a lot of independent artists now you know,

7:46 Speaker 1: it's expensive, but they're putting out vinyl. It's it's really amazing.

7:49 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I still think that there's a lot of

7:52 Speaker 2: people out there now that really.

7:53 Speaker 5: Want to have that that that physical piece of you know,

7:56 Speaker 5: music in the hand that they can take with them

7:58 Speaker 5: everywhere instead of you know, just to this digital.

8:01 Speaker 2: Copy right right.

8:04 Speaker 4: Absolutely, we managed to find a really cool company, so

8:11 Speaker 4: we we have our first album, Fate Anthropic on vinyl

8:17 Speaker 4: at a place.

8:17 Speaker 2: Called Elastic Stage.

8:20 Speaker 4: So if you go on our website, frequency of a

8:22 Speaker 4: little dot com.

8:23 Speaker 2: You go down, you'll see.

8:24 Speaker 4: Off site merchandise and then merchandise directly from us. But

8:28 Speaker 4: you can you can link to Elastic Stage and they

8:32 Speaker 4: will make one off. You got to wait a few weeks.

8:35 Speaker 4: Oh my god, it doesn't cost us. We don't got

8:38 Speaker 4: to lay it all out. So you order it and

8:40 Speaker 4: it comes from in royal mail from England in a

8:42 Speaker 4: few weeks and you get a copy of our album.

8:45 Speaker 1: Oh that's really cool. I love that.

8:49 Speaker 4: And then for us, because you know we have the account,

8:53 Speaker 4: I can get four or five at a discounted price

8:55 Speaker 4: for the merch table.

8:56 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it's a great, great idea.

9:00 Speaker 1: That is a great concept. I'm looking at the website too.

9:02 Speaker 1: By the way, the website's really cool. I'm a website nerd.

9:05 Speaker 1: This is a very cool site and I love the video.

9:08 Speaker 1: Can you tell me about we didn't talk about this

9:09 Speaker 1: yet the video for Thrashking. Circling back to thrash King

9:13 Speaker 1: because I'm looking at it now and you know's what's

9:15 Speaker 1: interesting about this. It reminds me of something I was

9:17 Speaker 1: having a conversation with someone about this recently. How when

9:20 Speaker 1: I was a kid, you know, you'd see these videos

9:22 Speaker 1: on MTV and sometimes artists who are like really super famous,

9:26 Speaker 1: they would have these videos that look like they cost

9:29 Speaker 1: millions of dollars, you know, to make. But now with

9:32 Speaker 1: the technology that we have, because I'm looking at the

9:35 Speaker 1: video for Thrashking, and this would have been very expensive

9:40 Speaker 1: to do back in the day, but this looks like

9:43 Speaker 1: I mean, tell me about this video the making of it.

9:46 Speaker 2: So we're on Soday Records from Canada.

9:52 Speaker 1: Yep, love them.

9:53 Speaker 4: And so Sam said, listen, we're going to do the

9:58 Speaker 4: release this and that you really should to have something

10:00 Speaker 4: visual for YouTube. We could get like an AI video

10:05 Speaker 4: done quick and release it at the same time. So

10:09 Speaker 4: we're gonna cross reference the lyrics with give me a

10:13 Speaker 4: couple of sentences, a couple of ideas what the song

10:15 Speaker 4: is about.

10:15 Speaker 2: Now, I said, all right, all the people that.

10:18 Speaker 4: Are upset, they're doing their day job, you know, like

10:21 Speaker 4: the rest of us. They're in the mud, and then

10:23 Speaker 4: they go out to a frequency overload show and they're

10:26 Speaker 4: happy and they're in the pit and they're losing you

10:28 Speaker 4: know that they're they're losing their inhibitions and they're having

10:31 Speaker 4: a good time. Yeah, and about two hours later, really

10:35 Speaker 4: like by the next morning, there's the video. Don Yeah, glorious,

10:40 Speaker 4: And the cost of it was seventy five hours.

10:43 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's incredible. Wow, that's amazing.

10:50 Speaker 2: Zero to that a few years ago.

10:52 Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

10:54 Speaker 6: I think it's cool when the guys turn into like warriors,

10:56 Speaker 6: when the guys comes up with a sword and he's like.

10:59 Speaker 2: A superhero because the lyrics they raising your swords.

11:02 Speaker 4: So whatever program they use all that and and translate

11:06 Speaker 4: the lyrics.

11:06 Speaker 2: It's amazing what they can do.

11:08 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really cool because I'm looking at it now

11:11 Speaker 1: and it's it's like, you know, the people in the

11:14 Speaker 1: video who are who are in the pit, like you

11:16 Speaker 1: don't they don't look like people that you would expect

11:18 Speaker 1: to see in the pit. So so it's cool. So

11:22 Speaker 1: the whole concept is cool. You know, they're just regular

11:24 Speaker 1: people who they go to the show and Uh. Oh,

11:27 Speaker 1: they've even got thrash King on the on the back

11:29 Speaker 1: of their their phones. Oh that's really cool. Yeah, the

11:31 Speaker 1: video is awesome. I love this, absolutely love this.

11:34 Speaker 5: It kind of shows, you know, like everyday people that

11:37 Speaker 5: you wouldn't think would be friends in their in their

11:40 Speaker 5: regular everyday life, but then once they get together it

11:42 Speaker 5: come to over those shows, we're all friends and we're

11:45 Speaker 5: all in a pit and we're all there for one

11:46 Speaker 5: thing that we love.

11:47 Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, I love it. I love it. I

11:50 Speaker 1: love the whole I love that whole concept. That's that's amazing.

11:54 Speaker 1: So the first album, So thrash King is on the

11:56 Speaker 1: first album, correct.

11:58 Speaker 4: It is not this The Fresh is the first release

12:02 Speaker 4: of what's going to be the second album.

12:04 Speaker 1: Oh gotcha? Okay.

12:05 Speaker 2: Yeah.

12:06 Speaker 4: What we did was we went in and we recorded

12:08 Speaker 4: ten more songs, okay, Threshking being the first one of those.

12:13 Speaker 4: We mixed all drums and bass to completion, and now

12:19 Speaker 4: as we can we go back.

12:21 Speaker 2: Guitars, vocals, guitars, vocals.

12:24 Speaker 4: Our recording engineer is Joey Z from Life of Agony.

12:28 Speaker 1: Nice.

12:29 Speaker 4: Yeah, So if you look at his schedule, he was

12:32 Speaker 4: on the tour with Keith Camputo playing bass for two months.

12:35 Speaker 4: Then they're going back in August to play I Guess

12:38 Speaker 4: Walking and the rest of that. So he's you know,

12:42 Speaker 4: he we got to kind of jump to Joey's studio

12:45 Speaker 4: and then back again as much as we can.

12:47 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, so that's a that's a process. He's

12:50 Speaker 1: obviously a very busy guy. We also have Love and Bullets.

12:54 Speaker 1: Is that also going to be on the new album?

12:56 Speaker 2: That's on the first album?

12:57 Speaker 1: That's on the first album? Okay, because that's the propic. Yeah, gotcha, gotcha? Yeah,

13:02 Speaker 1: because that's a great track too. We're actually going to

13:03 Speaker 1: play that in a few minutes at the end of

13:05 Speaker 1: our conversation. I made a radio edit for that too,

13:07 Speaker 1: and that's that's another really great track. Is the process

13:12 Speaker 1: for recording the new album? Has it been much different

13:14 Speaker 1: than doing the first one?

13:17 Speaker 2: It has been the first one.

13:20 Speaker 4: We intended on doing a three song demo, okay, and

13:23 Speaker 4: we went through a marketing agency and we came to

13:25 Speaker 4: him said, look, we have this three song demo, and

13:28 Speaker 4: he's like, great, A lot of our college stations are

13:32 Speaker 4: still album format.

13:33 Speaker 2: You need a full album. Yeah, So you.

13:36 Speaker 4: Got about five songs on there that we did at

13:39 Speaker 4: a studio and the other ones we did at Corey's

13:42 Speaker 4: house on Reaper and then had Joey mix it and

13:46 Speaker 4: master at his best that he could to get it

13:48 Speaker 4: to the level.

13:49 Speaker 2: Of the other songs. Okay, so you'll see that on

13:53 Speaker 2: the liner notes.

13:54 Speaker 4: But yeah, it was a real process to get a

13:56 Speaker 4: full album together. After we went there, so proud of

13:59 Speaker 4: ourselves for getting three done, we rented Voodoo Studios in

14:04 Speaker 4: Port jeff for two full days whole weekend.

14:07 Speaker 2: Yeah.

14:08 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's intense trying to get all that done in

14:11 Speaker 1: one weekend though. That's uh, I mean, what was that?

14:14 Speaker 1: I mean, was that challenging or did it flow pretty well?

14:17 Speaker 2: Or this is Kevin the drummer, and yeah it was challenging.

14:21 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.

14:25 Speaker 2: But we got it done.

14:26 Speaker 6: And everybody's real cool, you know, try to keep it

14:29 Speaker 6: light and yep, you know, joking around and uh, you know,

14:32 Speaker 6: we got it done. The first day we tried to

14:36 Speaker 6: we were thinking we were going to get like five

14:39 Speaker 6: or six done, and we only got like two done.

14:42 Speaker 6: So the next day we came in, I came in

14:46 Speaker 6: with a great attitude and just went in and we.

14:49 Speaker 2: Just crushed it. We crushed the rest of them.

14:51 Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely a challenging process, but we also had a

14:55 Speaker 5: great fun time doing it too, because Joe is just

14:57 Speaker 5: a great engineer to work with and he makes the prize.

15:00 Speaker 5: It's just smooth and uh and really really fun to.

15:04 Speaker 2: Motivated, really fun to do.

15:06 Speaker 1: He motivates us ten Yeah, excellent, excellent. Do you have

15:09 Speaker 1: a title.

15:09 Speaker 4: Another thing that he did that that adds that that

15:15 Speaker 4: thickness and warmth to it is they ran the digital

15:19 Speaker 4: signals from the drums and the two direct bass ends

15:23 Speaker 4: through the old tape reel to reel machine really, of course,

15:29 Speaker 4: not in the tape, just running the signals through those

15:32 Speaker 4: old handmade capacities and the wound ceramics and all of

15:36 Speaker 4: that then into pro tools.

15:38 Speaker 1: Really yeah, that's interesting.

15:43 Speaker 2: And then it's Kevin again.

15:44 Speaker 6: Whenever I would get a little stressed, I'd look up

15:46 Speaker 6: into the recording booth and Tomas Sanger is dancing with

15:50 Speaker 6: a life size.

15:50 Speaker 2: Skeleton, you know. Yeah, yeah, I get right back on it. Yeah, Yeah,

15:59 Speaker 2: it's all good.

15:59 Speaker 6: It's a siding, and I think the songs are sounding

16:02 Speaker 6: great and look forward to getting some more out there,

16:04 Speaker 6: you know.

16:05 Speaker 1: Excellent. Yeah, do you have a title for the album?

16:10 Speaker 4: Most likely it's going to be one of two Relapsed

16:15 Speaker 4: into Rage okay or This Metal Life okay, flip a

16:20 Speaker 4: coin on that one.

16:21 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, those are both good. I like Relapse

16:23 Speaker 1: into Rage though that one kind of something a little

16:25 Speaker 1: provocative about it, which I like. But did you have

16:29 Speaker 1: any kind of an ETA on the new album or

16:32 Speaker 1: I know you don't want to put a hard, hard

16:34 Speaker 1: date on it, but.

16:36 Speaker 2: Definitely by the end of the year.

16:37 Speaker 4: I mean, we're I'm going back to do vocal tracks

16:41 Speaker 4: on one, possibly.

16:42 Speaker 2: Two tomorrow, so okay.

16:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, so we'll have at least the next one done

16:50 Speaker 4: vocally and he'll be able to mix and master it

16:52 Speaker 4: after tomorrow.

16:54 Speaker 1: Oh excellent, Okay, all right, that's good. That's great. And

18:17 Speaker 4: up around frequency overload at the time, and uh so

18:22 Speaker 4: I was like, oh, that's crazy, that's cool. So then

18:24 Speaker 4: I started listening to some of this stuff and I said,

18:26 Speaker 4: holy crap, I got to send this guy an email

18:30 Speaker 4: and I said, listen, we we'd love to have representation

18:33 Speaker 4: and would you listen to Alice stuff and and give

18:36 Speaker 4: us an idea and that's how it happened.

18:39 Speaker 1: Oh well, very cool. Well yeah, I mean, like I said, uh,

18:43 Speaker 1: you know, they they clearly know what they're doing and

18:45 Speaker 1: they're doing right by you guys, and that's that's wonderful.

18:49 Speaker 1: So what what's kind of the next uh like, do

19:16 Speaker 2: It's a free show, all ages.

19:18 Speaker 1: Oh very good. That's outstanding. There aren't that many opportunities,

19:24 Speaker 1: at least around here. I don't know what it's like

19:25 Speaker 1: there for even all ages shows anymore. I mean, what's

19:29 Speaker 1: it like there? I mean, obviously, because you want to

19:31 Speaker 1: get in front of a young crowd right when you can.

19:33 Speaker 1: You want to get those you want to get those

19:34 Speaker 1: young fans because they're the ones who you know they're

19:36 Speaker 1: going to be sticking with you for for a long

19:38 Speaker 1: time if you, you know, if you can get them

19:40 Speaker 1: to see you alive. I mean, are there a lot

19:41 Speaker 1: of opportunities to do all ages shows?

19:43 Speaker 4: There?

19:45 Speaker 2: There isn't a whole lot of opportunities.

19:47 Speaker 4: But Kevin and Steve came up with this great idea

19:50 Speaker 4: that we used last year which we started booking our

19:53 Speaker 4: own shows. So we did in all ages what we

19:57 Speaker 4: call Pappy Palooza.

19:59 Speaker 2: Oh a in Riverhead.

20:01 Speaker 4: Yeah, each year we do this, uh, Pappy Palooza. The

20:05 Speaker 4: first one was on my driveway and we ended up

20:08 Speaker 4: going to a brewery and they served food there, et cetera.

20:11 Speaker 4: So it was all ages and it turned out to

20:13 Speaker 4: be a fabulous time.

20:15 Speaker 1: Oh that's excellent, very good.

20:18 Speaker 2: Yeah, we packed the house. The fire marshal came. Actually, yeah,
