5:43 Speaker 7: hopefully this is the one. Yes, yes, I think it is.

5:46 Speaker 7: I think it is, and you sir my name is Dan.

5:49 Speaker 7: I play bass in the band Local from Manchester, Okay,

5:53 Speaker 7: right up the street, so uh yeah, it's a it's

5:55 Speaker 7: a pleasure. Yeah yeah, thanks for coming. Great to have

5:58 Speaker 7: you here. I'm a fellow bass player, so absolutely natural

6:01 Speaker 7: at kinship with you.

6:04 Speaker 10: And you sir, my name is Adam Grant, the guitar

6:07 Speaker 10: player from Conquered and this project is just kind of

6:11 Speaker 10: conceived from years of just playing music and being in

6:15 Speaker 10: bands and yeah, and here we are.

6:17 Speaker 7: Yeah yeah. So how long has Mercury Burns first existed?

6:21 Speaker 11: This is pretty new, right, roughly two years almost now?

6:25 Speaker 7: Okay, okay is this your is this your first release

6:27 Speaker 7: of this? Uh this EP?

6:29 Speaker 11: Yeah?

6:29 Speaker 7: Yep, okay, all right, yeah, I really like so we

6:34 Speaker 7: were kind of talking off air about what to which

6:37 Speaker 7: track to open the segment with, and I and uh

6:40 Speaker 7: Embraces my personal favorite. I love the vibe, the the

6:43 Speaker 7: guitars in that just there's something, there's something different about

6:46 Speaker 7: it that I think is really really cool. And uh,

6:48 Speaker 7: you know, Jay, I've always loved your vocals. Uh what like, like,

6:53 Speaker 7: what is your your kind of I mean, obviously, you know,

6:56 Speaker 7: broadly speaking, we put you in the metal category, but

7:00 Speaker 7: you guys have kind of a is there a sub

7:01 Speaker 7: genre that that you're trying to to fit into? I

7:04 Speaker 7: mean it's unique. The the EP, it's it's it's a

7:07 Speaker 7: little different than I can't think of anyone you sound

7:09 Speaker 7: exactly like you know what I mean, there's there's something.

7:12 Speaker 8: We are Like I personally have approached this project a

7:17 Speaker 8: little differently as anything that like comes along I want

7:21 Speaker 8: to try to turn into, you know, turn into something.

7:23 Speaker 9: Yeah, I've been.

7:24 Speaker 11: Very like.

7:26 Speaker 8: Guarded and picky about like what I actually want to

7:29 Speaker 8: like work on as a song and and and this

7:32 Speaker 8: I'm not necessarily making music for just myself, uh anymore,

7:36 Speaker 8: Like I'm taking everything into consideration, Like I there there

7:41 Speaker 8: might be something that I'm not too into that like

7:43 Speaker 8: someone else and the band is into that like ends

7:45 Speaker 8: up growing on me. Yeah, and it you know, turns

7:48 Speaker 8: out to be my favorite, my favorite thing. So it's

7:50 Speaker 8: it's more of a throw throw it at the wall,

7:52 Speaker 8: see what sticks, and not necessarily trying to stick to

7:56 Speaker 8: one type.

7:56 Speaker 9: Or style or.

7:59 Speaker 8: Hopefully at hopefully by the end of you know, our

8:02 Speaker 8: second third album, we've got a little bit of every

8:05 Speaker 8: every genre in there.

8:06 Speaker 10: Yeah, And I think that was kind of like the

8:08 Speaker 10: general idea of putting this EP out in these particular

8:11 Speaker 10: songs first was to show more of like this, we're

8:15 Speaker 10: not just a heavy band. We have a little bit

8:17 Speaker 10: more to offer than you know, and I don't think

8:19 Speaker 10: we really wanted to pigeonhole ourselves into like the metal

8:23 Speaker 10: corner of music.

8:24 Speaker 7: So yeah, now that makes sense. So it sounds like

8:29 Speaker 7: you already have more and more songs that you're working

8:32 Speaker 7: on or you're going to be.

8:33 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's obviously, as we all know,

8:36 Speaker 10: writing is a slow process, but yeah, yeah, recording, yeah, yeah,

8:41 Speaker 10: I mean we've been cramming a lot in in the

8:43 Speaker 10: last year, just writing and recording and you know, just

8:46 Speaker 10: trying to get this ship sailing a little bit.

8:50 Speaker 9: So we've yet to even play our first live show.

8:52 Speaker 8: Oh okay, Yeah, we've really stuck to working on the

8:56 Speaker 8: hone in our craft and working on the songs and

8:59 Speaker 8: at least getting this EP recorded and out there, you know,

9:04 Speaker 8: so we at least have a product to present to people.

9:08 Speaker 7: Where does the name come from, By the way, the

9:09 Speaker 7: name is so cool Mercury Burns First.

9:11 Speaker 9: So initially our idea was to do a concept album.

9:16 Speaker 8: And it's it's stemmed from that, like that the concept

9:19 Speaker 8: was going to be when uh, you know, in the

9:22 Speaker 8: you know, in the distant future, when when the sun

9:24 Speaker 8: kind of expands and spells up, you know, the inner

9:27 Speaker 8: inner solar system, mercury burns first.

9:30 Speaker 11: Yes, yes, And.

9:33 Speaker 8: So that that idea came, the idea from the name

9:36 Speaker 8: kind of came from the idea from the album, which

9:38 Speaker 8: we may or may not have abandoned, at least for

9:42 Speaker 8: at least for now. I think over the course of

9:45 Speaker 8: our career we'll probably have that concept album put into

9:48 Speaker 8: the other albums instead of you focusing everything on one

9:52 Speaker 8: story and you know, again pigeonhole, pigeonholing ourselves into like

9:57 Speaker 8: being forced to write a certain thing. We just kind

9:59 Speaker 8: of want do what comes comes along naturally when it

10:02 Speaker 8: when it comes along.

10:03 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I do feel like, you know, listening to

10:07 Speaker 7: the lyrics and and you've always been a very interesting

10:10 Speaker 7: you know, back from your days and function, you know,

10:13 Speaker 7: your your your lyrics have always been really interesting. You know,

10:16 Speaker 7: it's you've got to kind of pay attention to what

10:18 Speaker 7: you're saying, because you know, you've you've got a lot,

10:22 Speaker 7: you've got a lot that you're trying to express and

10:25 Speaker 7: and I've always been I've always been really interested in

10:27 Speaker 7: your lyrics. The lyrics on on some of these tracks

10:31 Speaker 7: is something sort of apocalyptic, So I'm not surprised.

10:34 Speaker 9: When it comes from that.

10:35 Speaker 6: You know.

10:36 Speaker 9: We started out as it was all going to kind

10:38 Speaker 9: of be about that.

10:39 Speaker 7: Really Uh yeah, there's there there is there is that

10:45 Speaker 7: that vibe to it, And and Embrace is particularly interesting

10:51 Speaker 7: to me because there's there's a texture to that song

10:54 Speaker 7: that's like I haven't heard anything quite like this, you know,

10:57 Speaker 7: it's it's it's really cool. Are are all the themes

11:02 Speaker 7: to these songs kind of like that? Or or are

11:06 Speaker 7: are there like what are what are some things that

11:08 Speaker 7: you explore in these lyrics?

11:10 Speaker 9: If if if this was a concept album, it would

11:13 Speaker 9: be very like Scattered.

11:14 Speaker 8: They're not in order, ye know what I mean. Yeah,

11:17 Speaker 8: so they're very far apart in the story. Yeah, but

11:20 Speaker 8: they probably would fit into into it. Yeah, but they're

11:24 Speaker 8: not necessarily Purposely, We just wanted to give the broadest

11:28 Speaker 8: spectrum of like what what we sound like?

11:30 Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, and then so when you do so you

11:33 Speaker 7: haven't played out yet, but do you do you have

11:35 Speaker 7: anything uh? Planned?

11:36 Speaker 9: Yeah, we have.

11:37 Speaker 8: We have a couple of shows lined up with with

11:41 Speaker 8: the Big Son and Adam McGrath. One of our shows

11:45 Speaker 8: also features the Forest Forgets.

12:40 Speaker 7: Are you guys gonna be doing any covers or are

12:42 Speaker 7: you just sticking to originals.

12:43 Speaker 8: Or there's a there's a possibility of covers which we're

12:46 Speaker 8: trying to fill up our time slot, which, yeah, it's

12:49 Speaker 8: gonna be pretty close, so you might get surprised with

12:51 Speaker 8: a couple of covers in there.

12:52 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's cool now. So so, uh, Jay, obviously

12:56 Speaker 7: I know some of your musical history. You were, but

12:58 Speaker 7: you've been You've been in bands, but between you know,

13:01 Speaker 7: because for people who don't know, I mean we're going

13:02 Speaker 7: back like twenty years, you know, function of course, and

13:05 Speaker 7: then but you've had other projects between that one and

13:08 Speaker 7: this one.

13:08 Speaker 11: Correct.

13:09 Speaker 8: Yeah, I've been in some smaller you know, like like

13:12 Speaker 8: cover bands, and I was in a Christian based heavy

13:16 Speaker 8: metal band for a little bit called Slate Face.

13:18 Speaker 7: I think I remember that because I i'd run into you.

13:20 Speaker 7: I forget where I've run into you somewhere.

13:22 Speaker 9: I think it was probably during the number of years ago,

13:24 Speaker 9: and I think.

13:24 Speaker 7: You had told me about that. Yeah, yeah, okay, And uh.

13:29 Speaker 8: I took a little bit of hiatus between then and

13:32 Speaker 8: in this, and uh really just kind of focused on

13:36 Speaker 8: what what I want out of you know, like if

13:39 Speaker 8: I really think this is probably gonna be my uh

13:43 Speaker 8: magnum opus. Yeah, yeah, like my what I really put

13:47 Speaker 8: everything into like anything I've been holding back. You know,

13:52 Speaker 8: it's time there.

13:52 Speaker 9: I'm not getting any younger.

13:54 Speaker 8: Yeah, So I just really I think all of us

13:58 Speaker 8: are putting everything we have into into all our eggs

14:01 Speaker 8: in this basket.

14:02 Speaker 6: Yeah.

14:02 Speaker 7: Yeah. And I'm curious too with you guys, like I

14:05 Speaker 7: assume you've both played in other bands before this.

14:07 Speaker 13: And yeah, I played, you know, all through high school

14:11 Speaker 13: and college bands and then you know, life started and

14:15 Speaker 13: I you know, I still played, but didn't take it

14:18 Speaker 13: as seriously.

14:19 Speaker 6: Yeah.

14:19 Speaker 13: And then the keyboardist in our band, Jeremy, me and

14:23 Speaker 13: him and playing music together for ten twelve years, you know,

14:28 Speaker 13: just once we get together, a bunch of different guys

14:30 Speaker 13: play covers. So you know, we we played, you know,

14:33 Speaker 13: we played our last shows like around Halloween. You know,

14:36 Speaker 13: so we play you know, once a week. And then,

14:40 Speaker 13: you know, and I was able to get him in

14:42 Speaker 13: the bands. I think Joel said we need someone on keys.

14:45 Speaker 13: I was like, oh, I know a guy, so you know,

14:47 Speaker 13: so and we've been playing together, you know, every week

14:51 Speaker 13: for the past I came into the band about a

14:53 Speaker 13: year and a half ago. They had an original bass player.

14:55 Speaker 13: Oh okay, and then you know I came check them out,

14:58 Speaker 13: and then you know, as bands do things, people go

15:02 Speaker 13: different ways and came down and played and thankfully okay,

15:06 Speaker 13: yeah fun like sure.

15:07 Speaker 11: Did yeah show up next week?

15:09 Speaker 13: Oh yeah, you know, and it's great, especially you know,

15:12 Speaker 13: we're getting up there in Asian to be able to

15:15 Speaker 13: work our schedules out so that we can actually get

15:17 Speaker 13: together and do something that we really enjoy and are

15:20 Speaker 13: building something towards.

15:22 Speaker 14: It's it's so much fun. I really hope this goes

15:24 Speaker 14: places for us.

15:25 Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, no, I think I think you're onto something

15:28 Speaker 7: great and how about you?

15:30 Speaker 10: So for me, I mean basically the whole music thing

15:32 Speaker 10: started out as an angsty teen playing playing hardcore and

15:36 Speaker 10: punk music locally here in a band called Strike Three.

15:41 Speaker 7: I remember Strike Three.

15:42 Speaker 11: Yeah wow.

15:43 Speaker 9: They were like when we were in high school.

15:45 Speaker 8: Like they were like the first kind of people that

15:47 Speaker 8: I knew that were ever so like they're partially they're

15:50 Speaker 8: partially yeah, so myself the reason why I'm a musician,

15:53 Speaker 8: oh wow, because like I went to their shows and

15:56 Speaker 8: like saw that, Hey, you know these guys that I

15:57 Speaker 8: go to school with are doing this, Like why not?

16:00 Speaker 7: Oh that's cool.

16:01 Speaker 10: Our drummer Joel is also he was also in that band,

16:05 Speaker 10: so we you know, we had done all that stuff

16:08 Speaker 10: and been a part of that scene. And I think

16:11 Speaker 10: once you're a part of that scene like that that

16:13 Speaker 10: lifeblood of just being a part of that music and

16:16 Speaker 10: just the energy just never goes away, like it's always

16:21 Speaker 10: in you. And like, so you know, I did that

16:24 Speaker 10: and then took a break for a while obviously, like

16:27 Speaker 10: raised my family and uh, and then some years went by,

16:33 Speaker 10: tried to put some stuff together.

16:34 Speaker 11: Yeah, nothing really came to fruition. Then I did that.

16:39 Speaker 10: I'm in a cover band as well, just to keep

16:41 Speaker 10: keep the fingers moving. And then now it was just

16:45 Speaker 10: like one day I just finally went on Facebook and

16:47 Speaker 10: I was like, who wants to play music? And Jay responded,

16:51 Speaker 10: and you know, a couple other people and we just

16:54 Speaker 10: this is where we're at, and it's kind of like

16:56 Speaker 10: put this together, and like Jay said, it's kind this

16:58 Speaker 10: is kind of like we're all in right now.

17:00 Speaker 11: Yeah, let's do this because like you said, we're not getting.

17:03 Speaker 7: Younger, right right. No, I think you're onto something really

17:09 Speaker 7: good though, you know this, Like I said, I listen

17:11 Speaker 7: to loly P. I think it's it's really good. Tell

17:15 Speaker 7: me about the I'm curious too about the cover art.

17:17 Speaker 11: I like the cover art.

17:19 Speaker 7: It definitely matches the it matches the name and the

17:22 Speaker 7: vibe of of of what we're what we're hearing from.

17:24 Speaker 10: So that that came to place. Our drummer, Joel found

17:29 Speaker 10: this guy. His name's Matt Barnes. He's from the UK actually, okay,

17:34 Speaker 10: and he does like a bunch of like uh, I

17:36 Speaker 10: guess it's like horrors, like book covers and movie art,

17:40 Speaker 10: and so he contacted him and he's the one who

17:42 Speaker 10: actually put this together for us.

17:45 Speaker 7: So yeah, no, it looks really cool. How much how

17:48 Speaker 7: much direction did you have to give him or or

17:50 Speaker 7: did you.

17:51 Speaker 10: Just tell him just I think Joel, like Joel kind

17:54 Speaker 10: of had the whole like he was the brainchild behind

17:57 Speaker 10: that artwork, and we were just kind of give him

17:59 Speaker 10: the put and it was kind of like his idea

18:01 Speaker 10: because it started out with the whole concept thing a

18:03 Speaker 10: little bit, yeah, and then it just kind of turned

18:06 Speaker 10: into that and you know, we went back and forth

18:08 Speaker 10: a little bit with the ideas.

18:10 Speaker 11: Yeah, and that's that's what we ended up with.

18:12 Speaker 7: Yeah. I encourage people to if you haven't seen it,

18:14 Speaker 7: go online and check it out. It's yeah, you know,

18:17 Speaker 7: it kind of looks it looks like it could be

18:19 Speaker 7: a movie poster, you know. But yeah, it's it's cool.

18:22 Speaker 7: It's very striking. And I like the reds anyway because

18:25 Speaker 7: red's my favorite color. But but yeah, no, I like

18:28 Speaker 7: it a lot. Like was that something where when you

18:32 Speaker 7: guys saw it, like, did did everybody in the band

18:34 Speaker 7: immediately like it? Or did you have to kind of

18:36 Speaker 7: think about it?

18:37 Speaker 11: I don't think so.

18:38 Speaker 8: It actually send us like a stock photo of like

18:41 Speaker 8: the guy sitting out front to Ashnaut and there was

18:44 Speaker 8: like a couple of things that like I wasn't I

18:46 Speaker 8: wasn't a fan of and they really they changed it

18:48 Speaker 8: and and now I mean, you know, yeah, I love it.

18:50 Speaker 8: So yeah, yeah, they like there was a little like

18:54 Speaker 8: the holes coming out of his out of his helmet

18:57 Speaker 8: was like a little phallic. Oh really, I don't know

19:00 Speaker 8: if we're going you know, it's not gonna be the

19:03 Speaker 8: theme we're going for it.

19:06 Speaker 7: Although it would get people, yeah talking about it, good

19:08 Speaker 7: good conversation piece, But no, I do understand.

19:12 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean Joel I think does does a lot

19:14 Speaker 13: of the art direction too. He's a very artistic guy.

19:16 Speaker 13: You know, he released his own comic book and you

19:20 Speaker 13: know he kind of paintings. He art, Yeah, has a

19:23 Speaker 13: really great eye yeah for art, I mean he yeah.

19:28 Speaker 11: He's great.

19:28 Speaker 14: He's put out a comic book, yeah, comic a couple

19:32 Speaker 14: of years ago.

19:33 Speaker 7: Oh, very cool, Yeah, j O L.

19:34 Speaker 11: Joel Okay, yeah.

19:36 Speaker 13: But he's haid art shows and Boston and stuff with

19:37 Speaker 13: his painting and everything. So I think we have a

19:40 Speaker 13: lot of different directions we can go in with this

19:42 Speaker 13: with you know, not only the music, but the art

19:45 Speaker 13: and the live show.

19:46 Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, I'm I think we have a good direction.

19:49 Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's good to have, you know, kind

19:54 Speaker 7: of a be able to approach it from different you know,

19:58 Speaker 7: different aspects and elements like the art, you know, the

20:01 Speaker 7: the art work with because not everyone thinks about that,

20:03 Speaker 7: you know, some people don't really put a lot of

20:05 Speaker 7: thought into that part of it. But we live in

20:07 Speaker 7: an era where, you know, with social media and everything,

20:10 Speaker 7: you've really got to in terms of branding, you know,

20:14 Speaker 7: you've really got to think about all of that, all

20:16 Speaker 7: these different aspects and elements. You know, it's it's it's

20:19 Speaker 7: a lot different than it used to be in that sense,

20:21 Speaker 7: you know. So so yeah, I think that's I think

20:24 Speaker 7: that's really cool. And is now right now? Is everything

20:28 Speaker 7: only available on streaming or are are you making physical CDs?

20:32 Speaker 10: So we have right now, we have CDs already available

20:36 Speaker 10: which you can get on band camp.

20:37 Speaker 11: Excellent.

20:38 Speaker 10: We have vinyls coming uh March, nice should be like

20:42 Speaker 10: mid to end of March, should be arriving for those.

20:44 Speaker 7: Oh, very cool, very cool, expensive though right to do vinyl? Yes,

20:48 Speaker 7: I've I've heard it's it's very expensive. But no, I

20:52 Speaker 7: think I think that's great that you're doing that. I'm

20:55 Speaker 7: I'm imagining that artwork on a on a full vinyl

20:58 Speaker 7: and oh, that's it's gotta be. Uh, that's gonna look

21:01 Speaker 7: really cool. I assume it's gonna be the same image

21:04 Speaker 7: for the image. Okay, so not know. Some people they

21:07 Speaker 7: try to do like a different image for the vinyl

21:09 Speaker 7: to make it like a limited edition thing. But it's

21:11 Speaker 7: like that's already limited edition.

21:13 Speaker 14: It's vinyl, you know, be orange vinyl.

21:16 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, nice, nice, No, that's that's awesome, that's awesome.

21:22 Speaker 7: I have a theory that most people who buy new

21:26 Speaker 7: vinyl never actually play it, but they just buy it

21:29 Speaker 7: because if you know, if you're really a fan, of

21:31 Speaker 7: somebody it's cool to have, you know, like we have.

21:35 Speaker 7: We opened the show today with a new track from

21:38 Speaker 7: Mike Frasier. He's a singer songwriter from Seattle, and we

21:40 Speaker 7: did the world radio premiere of his new song in

21:42 Speaker 7: April days. But when Jenny and I met him, remember

21:45 Speaker 7: that we met him at the Shaft skiing he was

21:47 Speaker 7: touring and he gave us a vinyl. He was very

21:49 Speaker 7: excited to give us his vinyl record, and and and

21:52 Speaker 7: it looked great and everything, and you know, the artwork

21:54 Speaker 7: was cool, and it's like, okay, awesome, But but then

21:57 Speaker 7: there's that, you know, like I always have that conversation

22:00 Speaker 7: with myself in my mind. Should I tell him I

22:02 Speaker 7: have nothing to play it on or or or does

22:06 Speaker 7: it matter or does he care whether I have something

22:08 Speaker 7: to play it on or not? He clearly he wants

22:10 Speaker 7: us to have it.

22:12 Speaker 8: I feel like often in that situation, someone might go

22:15 Speaker 8: out and buy a record player. So like people people

22:18 Speaker 8: give vinyl and like it'll sit for a while, but

22:20 Speaker 8: then you're like, you know what, I want to play this? Yeah,

22:22 Speaker 8: you know, you see see a little record player sitting

22:24 Speaker 8: at a yard sale, and you know, maybe you'll grab it.

22:26 Speaker 7: Right right, Yeah, that's true. That's true. We don't even

22:29 Speaker 7: have a CD player at home, really, we have one

22:32 Speaker 7: here at the station. I think, I don't know if

22:34 Speaker 7: you guys know Rob as a veto he ost granted

22:36 Speaker 7: state of mind, but he actually uses it. I think

22:39 Speaker 7: he's the only one that I forget that it's even there.

22:44 Speaker 7: But yeah, you're right. But I do think though, there's

22:46 Speaker 7: there's a lot of value in physical media because even

22:49 Speaker 7: you know, even if somebody never plays it, if they

22:50 Speaker 7: just want it because they're a fan. You know, people

22:53 Speaker 7: like to have the artwork, they like to look at

22:56 Speaker 7: liner notes and all that kind of stuff.

22:57 Speaker 8: It was kind of our idea behind, you know, getting

22:59 Speaker 8: the physical obies of stuff, because it's like, you know,

23:01 Speaker 8: like the average person's probably gonna just stream it, you know,

23:04 Speaker 8: or if they're you know, they buy the album, they'll

23:05 Speaker 8: buy it on you know, Spotify or iTunes. Yeah, but

23:09 Speaker 8: you know, the people that you know, know us already

23:11 Speaker 8: care about us and like want to have a piece

23:13 Speaker 8: of our art, like well, you know, they buy the

23:15 Speaker 8: CD and yeah there or the album the record yeah exactly.

23:20 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, because there was a period where you know,

23:23 Speaker 7: CDs like nobody was doing CDs.

23:25 Speaker 13: You know, there's still there's still something cool but grabbing

23:27 Speaker 13: the CD. I still have racks of my CDs. Yeah,

23:31 Speaker 13: grab one and play it front to back while you're

23:33 Speaker 13: you're taking it drive, you know.

23:35 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like I feel like that the EP sounds

23:38 Speaker 8: better in my car on the CD than any other

23:40 Speaker 8: any other thing I've listened to it on.

23:42 Speaker 9: So it's just there's something about that. Yeah, I still

23:45 Speaker 9: have a CD player in my car.

23:46 Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, Oh, excellent, excellent, Well we should play another track.

23:51 Speaker 7: I'll let you guys pick what should we What should

23:53 Speaker 7: we play next? We opened with Embrace Let's do Deaf

23:58 Speaker 7: and Blind? Deaf and Blind? All right? Uh, if you

24:02 Speaker 7: are just joining us on this uh chilly Saturday morning,

24:06 Speaker 7: here we got Mercury Burns. First is with us live

24:09 Speaker 7: and studio or part of the band? How many guys

24:11 Speaker 7: are in the band? Is it five?

24:12 Speaker 12: Or six?

24:12 Speaker 5: Six?

24:12 Speaker 14: Six?

24:13 Speaker 7: Six?

24:13 Speaker 5: Yeah?

24:13 Speaker 7: So what does everybody? Okay, so we know what the

24:15 Speaker 7: three of you do. It's unusual to see a band

24:17 Speaker 7: that large. What are the other three guys all do? One's?

24:20 Speaker 1: Uh?

24:20 Speaker 10: So we have Joel's our drummer, Max, Max is the

24:24 Speaker 10: other guitar player okay. Also my son kind of an

24:29 Speaker 10: interesting story. Oh and then we have Jeremy he plays

24:33 Speaker 10: synth and keys.

24:34 Speaker 7: Oh okay, that must be cool playing with your son

24:37 Speaker 7: in a band.

24:38 Speaker 10: Yeah, it was one of those things like when we

24:40 Speaker 10: were assembling the whole lineup, it was just he came

24:43 Speaker 10: and you know, he's he has had a lot of

24:45 Speaker 10: interesting guitar and yeah, like well that's a no brainer,

24:49 Speaker 10: like just come on, let's go.

24:50 Speaker 7: Oh wow.

24:51 Speaker 10: So and actually the a lot of the guitar work

24:55 Speaker 10: the I guess I said they were the better guitar

24:57 Speaker 10: solos on the record were his, which for Embrace, and

25:01 Speaker 10: uh the guitar solo on Hindsight was his as well.

25:04 Speaker 11: Oh no kidding. Yeah, so those are all written by him.

25:07 Speaker 7: So oh very cool. Did you did you teach him

25:10 Speaker 7: or I would like to.

25:12 Speaker 10: Say yes, but no, I think the Internet had more

25:14 Speaker 10: to do with that than anything else.

25:16 Speaker 11: Yeah.

25:16 Speaker 7: So it's amazing now like with YouTube, you can you know,

25:19 Speaker 7: take lessons right online.

25:21 Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, yeah, And it's it's so cool because nowadays

25:24 Speaker 13: it seems like they're you know, guitar solos have kind

25:26 Speaker 13: of gone away in a lot of mainstream suck and

25:29 Speaker 13: I think these are some of.

25:30 Speaker 14: The best guitar solos that I've I've heard in a

25:32 Speaker 14: long time.

25:33 Speaker 9: Yeah, things very tasteful and.

29:21 Speaker 7: I love it.

29:22 Speaker 17: That is.

29:22 Speaker 7: The band is Mercury Burns First, and that is called

29:26 Speaker 7: Deaf and Blind. And we've got three of the guys

29:29 Speaker 7: from Mercury Burns First here with us live in studio.

29:31 Speaker 7: Great track, guys, I love the energy of that. Thanks,

29:34 Speaker 7: really really good. We have jay Dan and Adam here

29:37 Speaker 7: from the band joining us. And where do you guys record? Where? Where?

29:41 Speaker 7: Where did the where did you record the EP?

29:43 Speaker 10: So we did this at right actually right around the

29:46 Speaker 10: corner at Black Hearts Sound Studio.

29:48 Speaker 7: Oh nice. We had Eric Sotter on the show. I

29:52 Speaker 7: don't know, it was maybe six months ago. It all

29:54 Speaker 7: becomes a blur, but but I told him when we

29:56 Speaker 7: had him on, I said, it's great to have you

29:57 Speaker 7: on because your name comes up all the time on

30:00 Speaker 7: the show. Because his name does, it comes up all

30:02 Speaker 7: the time. So many of the guests that we've had

30:04 Speaker 7: have recorded with him, and everything that comes out of

30:06 Speaker 7: there sounds amazing.

30:07 Speaker 10: Yeah, he did a really good job, and he actually

30:09 Speaker 10: helped out quite a bit, like just pulling some of

30:11 Speaker 10: this stuff to the loose ends that we didn't have

30:14 Speaker 10: ready to go.

30:15 Speaker 8: So yeah, there are even little little parts of like

30:18 Speaker 8: solos that he kind of gave us ideas for that

30:21 Speaker 8: like kind of you know, spiced it up a little bit.

30:24 Speaker 18: And then.

30:26 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's just stuff that you just don't think about

30:28 Speaker 10: because someone else has got a set of years on

30:30 Speaker 10: it and you're like, oh, that's actually sounds a lot

30:32 Speaker 10: better than I thought it did.

30:33 Speaker 6: Yeah.

30:33 Speaker 13: Yeah, And we're recording live just in our in our studio,

30:37 Speaker 13: you know, we just pump it out and you know,

30:39 Speaker 13: not not a whole lot of mastering and stuff like that.

30:42 Speaker 13: So finally when we're in the studio and perfecting and

30:44 Speaker 13: he's picking up on other little nuances as they're recording

30:47 Speaker 13: track by track, you know, and gave us some good ideas.

30:50 Speaker 13: So it was it was awesome working with him. Yeah,

30:52 Speaker 13: his name comes up all the time, even as the

30:54 Speaker 13: barber the other day. You know, it's like oh yeah, I.

30:56 Speaker 7: Know, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, No, he's he's remarkable at

31:00 Speaker 7: what he does.

31:01 Speaker 9: He did a great job.

31:02 Speaker 11: Absolutely.

31:04 Speaker 7: How long was the process of recording these uh, I.

31:07 Speaker 10: Mean it it started like, uh, it was dragged out

31:12 Speaker 10: because I think initially we thought we were just gonna

31:15 Speaker 10: go right in there and pump these songs out and

31:17 Speaker 10: be done with it. But yeah, it took probably a

31:19 Speaker 10: better part of like four or five months to just

31:21 Speaker 10: cause and it was like just odd, like a couple

31:24 Speaker 10: of days here and there.

31:24 Speaker 11: It wasn't like consistent.

31:26 Speaker 10: Yeah, it was spaced out, so it was spaced out,

31:29 Speaker 10: but I think it was just also just the learning

31:32 Speaker 10: curve of being in the studio and being like, oh,

31:35 Speaker 10: like we actually need to take some time and do

31:38 Speaker 10: this the right way.

31:38 Speaker 7: Yeah. That makes sense though, because you know, like we

31:42 Speaker 7: were talking about earlier, this what you're doing here is

31:45 Speaker 7: fairly complex. It's not you know, it's not just three

31:47 Speaker 7: chord rock, you know, it's.

31:48 Speaker 9: Yeah, and there's and you know, just six six gears

31:51 Speaker 9: in the machine, so.

31:52 Speaker 8: It's yeah, yeah, exactly, and and it really it's been

31:56 Speaker 8: running smoothly pretty much the whole time. There's not a

31:58 Speaker 8: lot of conflict, ornybody's stepping on anybody's toes.

32:03 Speaker 9: It's it's gone really well.

32:05 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, because I would think, you know, with six

32:07 Speaker 7: guys too, you've got so you've got six different schedules

32:10 Speaker 7: to work with and everything. I mean, I would think

32:12 Speaker 7: it would be challenging, but it sounds like it's been.

32:14 Speaker 8: We finally just downloaded this this calendar app where everybody

32:18 Speaker 8: can like put out their blackout dates. We're finally getting

32:21 Speaker 8: a little organized to know like where, Yeah, I'll find

32:24 Speaker 8: out how busy Dan is.

32:28 Speaker 10: A lot going on, But I mean, for the most part, though,

32:31 Speaker 10: our regular practices have been pretty much locked down. I

32:34 Speaker 10: think it's just the level of commitment that we're at

32:37 Speaker 10: right now. We're all really committed to doing this, and

32:39 Speaker 10: I think that was the thing, was, like, you know,

32:41 Speaker 10: practices are definite. Everything else will figure out.

32:44 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, how do you do you guys? Are you

32:49 Speaker 7: able to have practices where it's all six of you

32:52 Speaker 7: on a regular basis.

32:53 Speaker 8: Normally we can all get there once, you know, once

32:55 Speaker 8: a week. Yeah, We've always had it up in the

32:57 Speaker 8: air that that we can we'll have an optional set

33:00 Speaker 8: can practice, which we kind.

33:01 Speaker 9: Of have never never really ourselves up on.

33:05 Speaker 5: Yeah.

33:05 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think now that we have some shows coming up,

33:08 Speaker 8: will probably you know, between now and then, we'll probably

33:10 Speaker 8: throw an extra practice in here here and there to

33:13 Speaker 8: work on the actual like.

33:14 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know the show. Yeah, yeah, now, very cool,

33:18 Speaker 7: very cool. What what went into the when you decided

33:23 Speaker 7: to work with Eric Sotter? What went into that? Like,

33:27 Speaker 7: were you examining various options or what or was he

33:30 Speaker 7: the obvious choice right from the beginning.

33:32 Speaker 10: I think initially when I when we started looking at studios,

33:37 Speaker 10: there were quite there's obviously quite a few to choose

33:39 Speaker 10: from between here in Massachusetts and oh yeah, I mean

33:43 Speaker 10: I had my sights set on a few down in

33:45 Speaker 10: mass but it was just a matter It's the travel

33:47 Speaker 10: time and all that. And it was also trying to

33:50 Speaker 10: find someone that was going to be able to hear

33:53 Speaker 10: what we're doing right like, and I'm sure there's a

33:56 Speaker 10: plenty of studios out there that probably could have handled this,

33:59 Speaker 10: but I we definitely wanted the insight of somebody who's

34:01 Speaker 10: already done some heavy stuff. Yeah, and that was kind

34:04 Speaker 10: of the where we found Eric, So.

34:07 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, And what about the mastering?

34:10 Speaker 11: Did you no?

34:12 Speaker 1: So?

34:12 Speaker 10: The mastering was actually done by West west Side Music

34:15 Speaker 10: in New York by Alan Dutchesskay, which he's done so

34:20 Speaker 10: many albums and this and that.

34:22 Speaker 7: It's going to say the name is familiar.

34:23 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean he's done everybody that's ever been on

34:26 Speaker 10: the radio from what I could see from his portfolio.

34:30 Speaker 10: But it was like one of those things when I

34:31 Speaker 10: was looking at places that have it done, it was

34:36 Speaker 10: like where did these Where did this record get done?

34:38 Speaker 11: Where did that record get done?

34:39 Speaker 10: And then I contacted him and he was like the

34:42 Speaker 10: nicest guy ever, and it was just they took care

34:44 Speaker 10: of everything for us and it was great.

34:46 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no, that's excellent. Yeah, it came out, came

34:49 Speaker 7: out really well. Do you plan to you know, obviously

34:53 Speaker 7: you're you're already thinking about or I don't know how

34:55 Speaker 7: far you are in the process of the next Obviously

34:58 Speaker 7: you've you've got more songs, right, so you're already. Yeah.

35:01 Speaker 9: I feel like through through this process we've learned a lot.

35:04 Speaker 8: We already kind of like from the beginning, we've Adam

35:07 Speaker 8: has been recording our our live sessions. Yeah, and you know,

35:11 Speaker 8: we've just kind of he's he's been honing his craft

35:15 Speaker 8: on mixing and that on our you know, just our practices.

35:19 Speaker 12: Yeah.

35:19 Speaker 8: I feel like if we're gonna do like a full album,

35:24 Speaker 8: we would maybe look to get that done under like

35:27 Speaker 8: a maybe a label, someone paying for it, yeah, or

35:31 Speaker 8: more likely just releasing singles ourselves.

35:33 Speaker 7: Yeah. It's you know, we live in a time where

35:37 Speaker 7: you've got so many options as far as how you

35:39 Speaker 7: how you release music. You know, you can put out

35:41 Speaker 7: an EP, you can put out a full album. You

35:43 Speaker 7: can do I guess you know. Now they're calling it

35:46 Speaker 7: the waterfall effect, where you release you know, instead of

35:48 Speaker 7: releasing an album and then singles, you release the singles

35:51 Speaker 7: and then the singles eventually become an album.

35:54 Speaker 12: Yeah.

35:55 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's so many ways to do it now and

35:57 Speaker 7: with Spotify and everything.

35:58 Speaker 8: Because I feel like the song is that we wrote

36:00 Speaker 8: along with with the songs that are on the EP

36:04 Speaker 8: kind of fit they would fit together as like a

36:06 Speaker 8: full length album.

36:07 Speaker 9: Yeah, They're all kind of in the same vein, and like.

36:12 Speaker 8: You know, anybody that comes to see our show, we'll

36:14 Speaker 8: kind of we'll see it's it's we worked to make

36:17 Speaker 8: it kind of.

36:18 Speaker 9: Blowing.

36:20 Speaker 7: Yeah piece yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. Has I

36:25 Speaker 7: assume that? I mean when the band started, was was

36:32 Speaker 7: this kind of what you guys had in mind? Because

36:34 Speaker 7: it's been a couple of years right since the.

36:36 Speaker 8: Band start, I mean, you know, working as you know,

36:40 Speaker 8: a promoter and for me in the past that we

36:43 Speaker 8: didn't even have an album until the very end and

36:46 Speaker 8: we split up once. It was so it was like

36:49 Speaker 8: we did were I wanted to do that the other

36:50 Speaker 8: way around, like start with something that we could actually

36:54 Speaker 8: like give the people instead of just like the only

36:57 Speaker 8: way you can see us is the come is come

36:58 Speaker 8: see us, right right? And uh so yeah, it was

37:02 Speaker 8: it was it was pretty intentional to to get the

37:04 Speaker 8: album done before we like, you know, we we weren't

37:07 Speaker 8: really interested in just playing every dive bar every day

37:10 Speaker 8: of the week.

37:11 Speaker 17: You know.

37:13 Speaker 8: The function was the house band at the Bomb Shelter,

42:20 Speaker 7: Mercury Burns first we've got three of the guys from

42:22 Speaker 7: the band here with us in studio. I was telling

42:25 Speaker 7: these guys off air, I think that would be a

42:27 Speaker 7: very strong radio single, really really catchy. It's got a

42:30 Speaker 7: cool vibe to it. But uh yeah, excellent, excellent job.

42:33 Speaker 11: Guys.

42:35 Speaker 7: Do you do you do you each have your own

42:37 Speaker 7: favorite of the of these of these tracks? Do you

42:39 Speaker 7: each have one that really stands out for you?

42:43 Speaker 8: I mean that comes around, like I keep I feel

42:45 Speaker 8: like I have like a favorite, you know, different each

42:48 Speaker 8: week is a different favorite. Like mine started out as Embrace, Yeah,

42:53 Speaker 8: and uh, respond is our heaviest song, and that's you know,

42:58 Speaker 8: like it's it's a different vein from the kind of

43:01 Speaker 8: the few that we played, so like, yeah, it's hard.

43:03 Speaker 8: It's hard to put that against like, uh, the song

43:07 Speaker 8: we just played. They're they're apples and oranges. So like

43:11 Speaker 8: I would say, like that's my favorite, like yeah, yeah,

43:16 Speaker 8: but but respond is my favorite heavy song. Okay, Okay,

43:20 Speaker 8: it's it's yeah, it varies, yeah, yeah, what about you Dan?

43:25 Speaker 13: Yeah, I had to embrace Thiss my favorite song. I

43:28 Speaker 13: love that just kind of the more mellow vibe and yeah,

43:31 Speaker 13: yeah it hops into you know, a lot heavier late

43:34 Speaker 13: later on. Yeah, from playing I think Respond is one

43:37 Speaker 13: of my favorites to play. I got a little bass

43:39 Speaker 13: and drum break down midway for me and Joel, So

43:42 Speaker 13: that's it's really fun to play.

43:44 Speaker 11: Yeah, Yeah, what about you, Adam? I mean for me,

43:46 Speaker 11: it's basically all of them.

43:48 Speaker 10: I think it's just because we've we've poured so much

43:51 Speaker 10: energy into them and just seeing like where they're, where

43:53 Speaker 10: they're coming and going, and the overall development of the

43:56 Speaker 10: songs themselves, and you know, especially when you have, like

43:59 Speaker 10: you said, guys in one band and coming from the

44:03 Speaker 10: concepts of where the song started in garage band, because

44:07 Speaker 10: that's usually how we do it. We'll put the arrangement,

44:09 Speaker 10: a quick arrangement together for everyone to listen to, yeah,

44:12 Speaker 10: and then.

44:12 Speaker 11: To see it when unfold.

44:14 Speaker 10: That's why it's kind of like cool, this is great,

44:16 Speaker 10: Like yeah, So I don't have a particular favorite, Okay, Okay.
