Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you guys make a lot of noise for three guys.
Speaker 6: That's amazing. So no, I'm really excited to talk to you. Welcome to the show. I do love that song, Nicole. We also have Monolith, which we're gonna play at the end of our segment. Another great track. But where are you guys from exactly?
Speaker 7: We're from?
Speaker 9: Well, we're not from Manchester, New Hampshire. We're from Manchester, England. Yes, I don't know which come first. We can we can debate about that.
Speaker 6: Well, no, I think we know which gamp We are not the original Manchester clearly, but uh, part of why it's so interesting to me is so obviously you know I made this the Seattle reference. Of course, Seattle, Washington here in the United States. You guys a very heavy grunge sound. I would assume that when that song was plain that our listeners had no idea that you guys were from the from Manchester, UK as they're hearing that song. So it's very I'm really curious about that, the the grunge influence.
Speaker 6: It sounds like, like I said, it sounds like nineties Seattle. Tell us about that and is that kind of I did listen to you know, your other songs as well online. Yeah, some great, some great stuff on band camp, and it seems like that's really the vibe with this project. Loud George.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 9: Originally so when we got together whilst we were in UNI and the general consensus was that we'd make a band that was like Nirvana without the Nirvana.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was kind of The energy level was definitely so like all the guitars were turned up to eleven and there was a lot more screaming back then. Yeah, But we came back and met up after Uni and stuff, and then none of us had ever played in a band that was as good as what we were doing back then, so we sort of retoured all the old songs and you.
Speaker 7: Can really hear it all there.
Speaker 10: But on this new album that's coming, I think the whole album drops on the thirteenth okay, and thirteen tracks of it, and we've still got a bit a bit more progue with, Like there's tricks, some weird time signatures and stuff going on, some mad stuff that Eric's doing on the guitar.
Speaker 8: We're trying to make it as inaccessible to thee.
Speaker 7: At an old age we've got.
Speaker 9: Yeah, as Nick was saying, I think originally we came from like that Nirvana bent and I think that was when we were young and care free.
Speaker 7: That was what we wanted. But yeah, it's definitely less apathetic.
Speaker 9: I think when you think about grunge, it's very apathetic and very very young and spirited to a kind of like nihilism. And I don't think we're there anymore. I think we're a bit older. Yeah, kids, now, everything is fine.
Speaker 5: Everything all as well.
Speaker 6: You guys have been around for a while, right, was it twenty ten when when you started original this project.
Speaker 9: Yeah, twenty ten was when we met up at UNI, okay, and then we had a few years and then we broke up just after UNI finished and I had to work on mac Donald's and.
Speaker 7: For a bit us about the Ferris Wheel. Sam.
Speaker 8: Oh, it was lovely. He just looked force people to take their picture and then take money out of their pockets.
Speaker 5: So how long was the break for you guys? How long were you not together?
Speaker 7: Ten years? It basically coincided with COVID.
Speaker 9: Yeah, COVID happened and we I sent a message from both just saying do you want to redo that? We basically recorded the album originally ten years ago in Uni. Obviously taking it wasn't the greatest recorded thing in the world. It was done in like a week age.
Speaker 7: You could hear it alcoholic. Oh yeah, So we just saw the CORVID. I basically I was bored and I said, do you guys want to do it again? And we'll john and get together and have a goal. And I said, no, I don't like you. This is why I've been avoiding you.
Speaker 5: So you basically re recorded the album at that.
Speaker 7: Point, Yeah, the whole worst album.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well we all had home studios by that point, so yeah, kind of remotely, Yeah, redid the bits and then started messing around with a rewriting a few little parts, I mean, the lyrics from ten years ago when we were all twenty are all very much just I'm so sad.
Speaker 7: For me and this rhymes with me right, Yeah, But it's like being able to do it remotely.
Speaker 10: I mean it speaks like we didn't actually meet up until we were doing a music video, a music video that we never actually used for the first one that was off the first album. We ended up doing a couple of videos for that. But on this that's coming out now, we've done three or four and it's all been again. It's di y recording.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I just think it speaks out that, like we were able to do that first album. We rewrote the lyrics over on like meetings with each other. We rewrote everything like in band lab and stuff a couple of times, used some Midia examples, and then recorded everything ourselves and the album was done.
Speaker 9: That first album took us ages because we're doing it song by song by song, and what's funny is you can the equipment got better. So when we started out, Nick was recording on bin leads, so thin jelly Bean from the first album was recorded on like instead. The symbols were awful, they were actual dustin leads. Would you call them garbage candleads, garbage candleads. So yeah, they were pretty awful. And as it went along we got better equipment and then we did this album.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you can hear it get better as as it comes out. But I think with this new one, like we're all tooled up with the stuff that we needed. We're actually in person.
Speaker 10: I mean, we've been recording loads since then, and some stuff hasn't hasn't made it on the album, but we've had some really good experiences, like just going over to Wales and we've got such a nice countryside out here. Yeah, just going in a cottage, no soundproofing or anything, just blasting a load of music out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the original recordings, I assume the original album that you recorded. Is that available anywhere online or have you kind of hidden that from from the world.
Speaker 7: You can find that on.
Speaker 8: Spotify before the original Yeah, there sound class.
Speaker 7: We can't log in. We would hide it.
Speaker 5: For real.
Speaker 9: They all have different names back then, and I think, like, so we really like Lightning now, but like Lightning back then was called like some I think there's something about four D TV or something.
Speaker 7: I can't remember it was about.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm curious because you know, like I said, I listened everything that you have on band camping, but it it would be interesting I think just to go back, I might, I might check out your SoundCloud and just see it. Would it would be interesting to hear the original material, you know, the way it was originally done, just out of curiosity.
Speaker 7: That makes you happy.
Speaker 6: I'm kind of a nerd for that kind of thing. Plus, you know, it almost sounds like the original might be more considered more of a demo recording, and I love listening to that kind of stuff. I think it's really interesting.
Speaker 8: There's a really, there's one good one on there, which is a cover of sale. These boots are made for walking. Oh really a demo quality cover of lot which is quite That was all recorded live, wasn't it.
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah that was good. Oh wow, yeah, quite a lot of stuff. Back then. We used to get about just in like a tiny, little one lead car.
Speaker 10: I don't know how we fit everything and all the people in there, because we had like people that were coming to the gigs in the car with us as well. Oh really going from Manchester's crew like down South and stuff, but doing it all in one car.
Speaker 7: Do you remember we played with that Harry Styles Yeah.
Speaker 8: Do you know how.
Speaker 7: We played with Harry Styles's original band before we got.
Speaker 5: Really Oh that's cool.
Speaker 7: We realized still the night.
Speaker 5: Oh that's wild.
Speaker 7: But I think we we definitely cover all ground now that like we're all driving and yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the stuff that we've got on the road with us, that's that's also growing as well as the studios.
Speaker 7: So that's good.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I'm curious too.
Speaker 6: Uh you know, in terms of that classic grunge sound that you guys have, does does that help you stand out in the scene? Obviously there's a lot of bands there in the area that you're in, but I assume tell me if I'm wrong, I assume there's nobody else there doing exactly what you're doing.
Speaker 7: A huge grunge scene in the UK.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 10: When we went down to Camden last that, like in London there there's like there's a band there called Avoid, there's a couple of other bands, like.
Speaker 7: Especially when we go down south, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, like like especially like girl rock grunge bands, like they sound great.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: The only thing that as a part is that we're old. Yeah, we're entering in the middle age now Old Loud George.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 6: See, I wouldn't have expected that that there was such a grunge scene there. Has that always been the case or has that kind of ebbed and flowed over the years, because right here, like in the United States, there really is no I mean, there are bands, you know, there are indie bands that have that sound, but as far as I can't honestly tell you that there are a lot of grunge bands around currently in the US, and there haven't been for a long time.
Speaker 5: But has that always been the case where you guys are.
Speaker 8: Well, we're very sad and apathetic as a country. Really it leans into it. I don't know, it's kind of come full circle, and I feel like I've seen it on the local scene over the last five or six years. Yeah, more, more and more bunds are moving away from a kind of just like general oat rock and metal, and a lot of the a lot of the younger up and Cummings are doing grungey sounding and stuff. Now I'm wearing the clothes as well. I'm looking at the thinking I was wearing that when I was ten.
Speaker 10: It's hard to say, like when, like, because none of us are promoters, we don't put our own shows on and see a lot like so we stay pretty much in our niche. So we don't get me wrong, we go to a lot of gigs and stuff, but when you're that close to the niche, it's kind of hard to see for looking like I've always gone to grune gigs here if I feel like it's something you've always been able to go and watch in the UK.
Speaker 7: Like we love that over here.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but with bands like Wet Leg and things like that, they're they might not necessarily be like a four cord power cord thing, gotcha.
Speaker 7: But it's definitely got like a grunge thing.
Speaker 10: And I remember when people were going doing nuts about going to see what's that Australian band is The Chats. Yeah, yeah, people went nuts to go and see them.
Speaker 9: They're very I do think there's a lot of punky sort of stuff coming out of Australia at the moment.
Speaker 7: Like a museum that comes out of Australia is just incredible. Yeah, big and scary and poisonous music.
Speaker 6: Interesting. Interesting, And so tell me about that song Nicole. I really love that song. Who is Nicole?
Speaker 10: Nicole is sort of a fictitious, but it's basically all of us had had friends that said.
Speaker 7: That a man had told them to smile from a very young age. Like I remember talking to my friend Kate about this. I was like, what about fifteen years old? Do you think like there's a bit of patriarchy force force than some girls? And she says, no, way younger, way younger than that. And then we got talking about it. We had this mean riff, so we just decided to throw that in on the lyrics. So it was a good, good lyrical content for us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, interesting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And then I assume that, well, is that kind of a theme because it sounds like you're going for something like you're not just you know, you're not just singing about being sad and whatnot, Like there's some real uh content there in terms of those lyrics. I mean, you know, you're you're talking about something. It sounds like, you know, the patriarchy, repression and things like that. Is that a consistent theme in your lyrics because uh, you know, like I said, I listened to the other songs and they all sound like, you know, there's there's some genuine substance is the word I think I was looking for in terms of your lyrics.
Speaker 6: It's not just you know, we're grunge, we're sad whatever. It seems like you're really going for something there.
Speaker 8: I would say it's not uh, not really a theme that we've hit on that, but we've definitely you're right in saying that we've tried to get more substance into this round of songs.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Well yeah, I.
Speaker 8: Think we've ready tried to create or start with a story or a strong concept. So there's a song, the title track sextieth, which is the one that's coming out with the album, that's about a man being buried alive underground willingly so that he can enjoy the sensation of being eating alive by insects because that is his fetish. Oh my, yeah, yeah, it's it's nice and happy this one. Yeah, animals, there's a song about a butterfly eating.
Speaker 10: Some There's a lot of nature, a lot of death. The whole album revolves around that, that sort of rotting.
Speaker 8: Grotesque kind of it would be the theme of the album is grotesque imagery.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're trying to be gross. We're being profound all the time.
Speaker 10: Signatures were gross, so yeah, why not make everything else minging. There was a four minute track of just audio of Eric throwing up the song that was originally seven minutes long.
Speaker 10: We played it live once, the full seven minutes.
Speaker 7: I said, so we don't have more time. No one enjoyed that we did. It was like the job Spinal Tap, the Jazz Odyssey. We made the Jazz Obo.
Speaker 5: I was I was thinking about Spinal Tap when you know, when you were saying, you know the songs about you know, death, I was thinking about Sir Denis eaton Hog when he says, you know, every every film and every cinema is about death, death cells.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he does.
Speaker 9: Well, that's why today we were discussing right in a new album, but we're all all going to be on bass, and then we're discussing the Spinal Tap.
Speaker 5: This is Spinal Tap is my favorite movie of all time, by the.
Speaker 7: Way, So there's another one that's just come out, you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jenny, Jenny and I did watch the sequel. It's all right.
Speaker 6: I mean, it doesn't have the magic of the original, but it's okay. But I've seen original a thousand times. I don't think we're gonna watch the sequel again. But okay, here's the obvious question, where does the name loud George come from.
Speaker 8: Oh my uh so my girlfriend at the time ex girlfriend now said it in her sleep at two o'clock in the morning. Just woke up and said, oh, George, I thought, really, that's quite good.
Speaker 10: It's healthy that that was your thought. It wasn't like it, George, that was my second right, right. No one called George, apart from whoever she was seeing.
Speaker 6: My goodness, Well, whoever whoever George is, I hope he knows that there's a band named after him.
Speaker 7: Did we find another, like a company called loud George? Well that was you when you when we designed the logo, Nick, you know the l G logo? Do you remember that? It was like the inside the G. I don't think do you have LERG over there? Life's good the tech brand, isn't.
Speaker 5: It like, oh LG we have LG.
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, So when we were making the logo for it, Nick described the LG logo. Yeah, it looks like we should have the L inside.
Speaker 7: My brain was suped then.
Speaker 5: So so is that like, have you used that actual logo? No, okay, there have been a.
Speaker 8: Few logos over the years, but no, we didn't just.
Speaker 1: Completely rip off.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say there might be a season Assist letter in your future if you did.
Speaker 7: But yeah, they should down straight away. Those two they didn't like my logo.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, well that's all right. Well it's a cool name. So so what's so refresh our Memories again? So the it's not in a full album, right, it's an EP Sex Teeth, No.
Speaker 7: It's it's a thirteen tracker year it is.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think about seven of them have come out, and the latest to being Nicole and Monolith. Okay, and then on the thirteenth of March, we've got a thirteen track album coming out, so there'll be what like four or five songs that people haven't heard.
Speaker 5: Oh, fantastic.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was a blast to record it, honestly excellent, very weird, weird time signature is very fun.
Speaker 7: Listen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh that's fantastic. Okay, So that's coming out March thirteenth. Excellent, excellent. I can't wait to hear that. So, guys, where's the best place to go online for people to keep up with everything that you're doing? Where should they go to keep up with loud George in Instagram?
Speaker 9: We're very active on Instagram. We do want to promote the band camp. Everyone get on the bank. Yes, we love the bank camp.
Speaker 7: Go to the bank, can buy a T shirt on the bank. Don't order a medium.
Speaker 6: Now, Okay, I'm a big I'm a big proponent of band camp because the thing that people might not realize about band camp too is it you get a very high quality file. You know, it's it's much better to get your music from band camp than to say, you know, if you're streaming it on YouTube, which a lot of people do, you know, because it's so easy, or even Spotify. If you get it from band camp, you're getting the highest quality file that is available typically. And so I'm a big proponent of band camp.
Speaker 10: Yeah, everything that we've got up on there is like it's all wabs, Like it's the highest we could bound to ours and we do all ourselves as well. So that's that's the great thing. Like when Eric's finished master and everything, and we just make sure that we've got all the tags done, but like the whole first CD, the things that we sell our gigs, and they're all wabs. It's as much as we can get.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, that's excellent, excellent. Well, guys, thank you so much for joining us in a moment, we're going to hit this track Monolith. What should we know about this is there? You know we talked about Nicole. Is there a story with Monolith or what? What should our listeners know about this before they hear it?
Speaker 7: Well, this is so, this is Eric Agad. So what happened was his nick had rot four thousand songs and we're trying to contribute from songs to it.
Speaker 9: I bashed it out in my garage in like a few hours and then sent it and was like, is this is this weird enough?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: So yeah, I mean we then workshopped it for like, yeah, but yeah, this is this. This song is like basically Eric having a panic a panic, and I.
Speaker 7: Really love it. It's it's great, it's weird, it's Monoloth is one of my favorites people, it was. It very nearly ended up on the fridge.
Speaker 10: It was a well known Eric is a great no great song though it's it's and again weird time signatures, but like I feel like what me and Sam are bouncing around with you can you can still like move to it even though it's in an odd number.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, really really.
Speaker 10: Weird vocals though from from from our eric. In terms of what the actual lyrical content is, I think it's just just a synopsis of what the whole album is about. Again, just the whole death and weird things that we wanted to write about.
Speaker 6: Right right, very good, very good. So we're gonna play this, but we'll let you guys go in the meantime. But I really want to thank you all three of you for being with us today. This has been a lot of fun. Like I said, I listened everything that you have available on band camp and I really like it. Can't wait to hear the full album and we will definitely do this again as you guys are releasing new music. We'd love to have you back in the future.
Speaker 7: Oh brilliant.
Speaker 6: Absolutely all right, we're gonna play this track, so we'll let you guys go. But again, guys, loud George, thank you so much for joining us today and we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 5: All right, guys, take care. All right.
Speaker 6: That is all three members of loud George and check this out. This is called Monolith and I really like this a lot. And remember sex Teeth coming out on thinking about what the song's about coming out on March thirteen, So very very soon next week. But here it is loud George. This is called monolith.

Speaker 6: Jenny is here of course at the news table. And a few minutes ago we talked to the guys from loud George, great band from Manchester, UK, and I really really like them a lot. They're fun to talk to but also a big fan of their music. So uh, their new album I was Wrong. It is not an EP. It is a full album coming out next week on the thirteenth. That is called Sex Teeth. You can check that out.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: The reason we've been playing some awaiting Abigail to during the show today is a great band from Texas. They've been on the show with us, I think a couple of times now and gonna be seeing them tonight. They are going to be at the Magic Room in Norwood, Massachusetts for the Rocking Women of Metal. They're gonna be there along with Under the Horizon, Sex Coffee and Sepsis is headlining. Of course under the Horizon they've been on the show a bunch as well as Sepsis has been on the show many times over the years.
Speaker 6: So really looking forward to seeing them tonight. The only band I'm not familiar with is Sex Coffee, but we'll see them tonight too, or I will see them.
Speaker 5: Jenny, of course, is unable to attend. Unable to attend because of your ear. Yes, for people who don't know.
Speaker 18: I got an ear infection after getting an upper respiratory thing yep. And this was three weeks ago about and it's been three weeks since I could hear out of my right ear. Yeah, I still can't hear out of it except for a very high pitched Tonight is is that's yeah, nauseating to say the least. Yes, yes, oh yeah, I don't get to listen to loud music tonight.
Speaker 5: No, that would be very dangerous for you.
Speaker 15: That would not be very fun and I'd probably end up hurting.
Speaker 6: I'll have to remember too, to grab some earplugs out of your bag of ear plugs. Yes, before I go, because I also have tonight s of course. Fortunately mine is mild. The only time I really consistently noticed mine is when I first wake up in the morning. That's when I notice it. Other than that, like once I'm up and moving around, I don't notice it anymore.
Speaker 18: My loudest is at night, when it's time to go to bed. Yeah, take me hearing aids out. But I always have tonight this, But it's not usually this very high pitched squeal that I've got going on right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that happens to me too. Only once in a great while something will set it off. I don't know why, but all of a sudden I'll hear that, but it doesn't last.
Speaker 18: So so I this has been horrible. It's so walked off. All I can hear is the son of my own voice. Yeah, I can't hear anybody on the if they're on my right side, even my hearing is I just can't hear them.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, So I do wear aar plugs that shows, just to try to make sure that mine doesn't get any worse than it already is.
Speaker 5: And so far, so good.
Speaker 15: Lucky.
Speaker 5: I am lucky wear air plugs.
Speaker 15: It's worth it.
Speaker 6: The the I'm always whenever I think about this, I remember years ago. This was at least twenty years ago, maybe longer. Entertainment Tonight, Remember Entertainment Tonight. I think it's still They did a story about William Shatner how he had to he had to have there's some sort of surgery they can do apparently, or maybe they implant something. Uh, his tonight is got so bad. He had severe tonight as and he's convinced it's from when they were doing the original Star Trek series. Something happened on set that created a very loud bang right in his ear.
Speaker 6: And but this has always haunted me. He said, his tonight is got so bad that he was actually considering suicide at one point.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 6: He said that in that interview on Entertainment Tonight about the the surgery that he had that that fixed it or at least made it manageable.
Speaker 15: Surgery. It must be something only rich people can.
Speaker 6: Act, probably, I mean, obviously Shatner's got plenty of money. But yeah, he said, he said it got that bad, the constant ring, and it was that bad. It was it was unlivable. And then me and then somebody put him in touch with a doctor who had a surgery. Is that he could do that that actually fixed it so that it was at least livable, you know, But that's that's always kind of haunted me, just him saying that. So that's why I'm very protective.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 6: If anyone wants to make judgments or make fun of me, go ahead. I don't care. I'm putting in earplugs. I don't want mind getting any worse in it already is, and as far as I can tell, of course, I mean, obviously if it does get worse, it's incremental. But as far as I can tell, I've done pretty well with it. Because I've had tonightis for that I've been able to notice for at least at least fifteen, maybe twenty years. And I also know that I've definitely got more damage on one side than the other because a long time ago, I was talking on the phone and I went to switch ears.
Speaker 6: I went to switch from my left ear to my right ear, and I noticed in my right ear that everything sounded a little different and was not as It's not like it was at a different volume. It was more like it just wasn't as clear. And I remember I'm sitting there on the phone, like switching back and forth between my ears while the other person is talking, trying to figure out why it sounds different. I realized, I mean, you know, it was obvious. I just I had more damage on one side than the other and it actually affected how I was hearing things.
Speaker 5: In my right ear.
Speaker 15: So, yeah, I've had hearing aids for a long time now.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 15: They said that mine was a combination of well.
Speaker 5: You used to drive an ambulance, Well yeah.
Speaker 18: An exacerbation of the sirens, hearing loss from the sirens, exacerbated by timoxafin toxicity. Yeah, so crazy, crazy a medication actually got me into hearing aids, probably a lot faster than I would have ended up with them. Rights is constant, I always have it. You almost have to cut to a point where it's like you your brain accepts that that is normal for the world for you. Yeah, but the world always has that sound.

The Women Wise Show is actually about equality then and equality now, a legacy of solidarity, self dominance, and the ongoing fight for justice. The name of it, woman Wise, was actually taken from a pioneering health based newspaper that was published from nineteen seventy four to nineteen ninety four by Equality Health Center, then known as the Conquered Feminist Health Center.
Speaker 18: The community this publication cultivated serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of collective learning, multi mutual support, and shared power. With this exhibition, I can speak. With this exhibition, we seek to honor that legacy, reviving the rich history of the women's movement and inviting you to illuminate a woman who has influenced your life for your arts. This exhibit is a partnership between the Mosaic Are Collective and the Equality Health Center, bringing together art, history and community to highlight the stories and strengths of women across generations.
Speaker 18: In celebration of Women's History Month. Both Mosaic and the Equity Health Center invite local artists to submit.
