You do the most work though, right, because you use all four of your limbs when you play, and you have to lug the most stuff. It's a team effort, right right, that's good. That's good, is it?
Speaker 5: Really?
Speaker 14: Do they help you?
Speaker 9: Do they help you load in and load Outcause.
Speaker 10: I don't ever help most of the I was gonna say not.
Speaker 9: You know sometimes in bands, not everyone, not everyone shares that particular division of labor, you know, lugging the equipment.
Speaker 11: We all help each other. Luckily we get it wrong. We do not want to do that, right right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9: Oh, I understand, I understand. Absolutely we should mention too before we go any further right off the top, and obviously we'll mention it again later in the conversation. But you guys have a show tonight for those listening live on Saturday morning at the shaft Sking. Correct.

Speaker 9: Okay, okay, I don't know. I don't know Still Sleeping or Birds in Theory, but very cool, very cool. And then you guys playing out a lot, you're doing a lot of shows or what's what's kind of the live live situation?
Speaker 10: Like I feel like we haven't been doing many shows as of recently. We've been kind of focusing on recording new music. Yeah, we've got a music video coming out somewhat soon as well. Oh, so we've had a lot of focus on writing and everything, but uh, yeah, we're probably gonna try to book a lot more shows for the summer.
Speaker 9: Nice. What track is the video for that's coming out? It's for Why for Why? Okay, yeah, okay, and we're gonna play that. We'll play that in a few minutes. Yeah, very cool. Uh is this gonna be your first video as a band, your first.
Speaker 10: Music video or yeah, yeah, the full music video. Yeah, we have some like teaser videos, but this is gonna be the first full one.
Speaker 9: Oh, very good. Is it a concept or is it just you guys playing live or I don't know how much you want to divulge about it.
Speaker 10: Oh no, it's it's all good. Yeah, there's some concept we have who we call kind of our fifth member of the band, Devin Perry. He does our videos and he does our photography, Okay, so he also comes up with creative ideas for for videos. So it's kind of a little bit of an abstract idea. Yeah, we got a cool place over like in the Mills that we recorded in actually.
Speaker 11: A friend of Brendan's.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Karen jerzych Photography. She's over in over in Morgan Mills.
Speaker 9: Oh okay, Oh very cool, good good.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a wicked cool spot. Yeah, excellent. Is that where you guys rehearsed to we rehearse at house?
Speaker 10: Oh nice, Yeah, he ends up mansion.
Speaker 9: Oh, very good, very good.
Speaker 11: It's a little raised the ranch and hooks it.
Speaker 12: Is it?
Speaker 9: Is it kind of uh? Is it soundproof? Or they're a little crazy with it?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Do they actually do they actually complain?
Speaker 16: No?
Speaker 17: Actually, I have one neighbor that's a little odd that will just random winches walk in the house and come down and.
Speaker 11: Hangs out.
Speaker 10: Good old Roger.
Speaker 9: Oh that's cool though. That's validation, right, Like to have a neighbor who wants to come and check out what you're doing. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 11: Maybe about to check up on er.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Now, the the tracks that we're playing today are these from an album from an e P or they just singles or because there's so many different ways now that artists are releasing music.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're gonna be an upcoming EP.
Speaker 9: Oh so the EP is upcoming? Uh? Any idea when any kind of an et a?
Speaker 10: So we uh, we plan on releasing a single next Friday, and uh we we figure that, you know, may as well start plugging it here on the radio show. We haven't really talked about it much. Yeah, the EP is gonna be called the lunch Box EPA. And yeah, we're gonna be putting a single out. We don't have a release date quite yet for the actual EP itself. We're gonna start we're gonna start pushing that.
Speaker 9: What's the single?
Speaker 10: The single? It's gonna be freaking me out?
Speaker 9: Oh right, right right, okay, yes, yes, I have I have a version of that are prepared that we can play on the show YEP.
Speaker 10: Version. Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: When I was listening to these, like I said, you know earlier, like I said at the end of Pretty Girl, you know, your songs are heavy, but they're catchy. And I really like that because, like I said, you know, most bands they try to kind of be one or the other, you know, and and so you got I mean it sounds like, you know, really a lot of effort, like who are the songwriters in the band? Because it's it's it sounds like you really put like you think about the craft of songwriting and it shows in your music, like who writes the songs?
Speaker 9: Or do you all right together?
Speaker 18: All?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, all this stuff on the EP has been pretty much written by everybody at the same time.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, we have a pretty big hand in it.
Speaker 12: No, that's great, that's great, I do. I will give credit where credit is due. Rob comes up with incredible melodies right out the jump. We y, we come up with a riff idea and the rest of us are jamming it out and he just sings gibberish the first time around. But he always gets an awesome melody right out the jump. So we always where we we videotape ourselves practicing. Yeah, so we can come back to that and make sure we don't lose that melody, you know.
Speaker 9: That's that's a smart thing. I was in a band. This was a long time ago. I was in a band called First Shove, and we had we had a couple of songs that we were trying to work on one day at practice and like we we found ourselves actually forgetting parts to one of them, and it was a conversation. There was a conversation about maybe we should start recording, you know, because we would tend to write at our rehearsals and kind of be you know, we'd practice if we had shows, but we'd also write stuff at the same time.
Speaker 9: And and uh yeah, there was a point where we were actually forgetting things and it's like, oh, that's really bad.
Speaker 11: Yeah. Yeah, that's why we always do some sort of a video.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and we have a shared Google drive too, so we we always post up those. Every one of the songs that we've ever written has like fifteen different versions on video of the progression towards you know, the finished product.
Speaker 9: Yeah. That's a really good idea. Yeah, that's really smart. It helps, Yeah, definitely. You guys want to play another song, another track?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, so what should we do next?
Speaker 11: We want to go why next?
Speaker 10: Yeah, we can do why.
Speaker 9: Okay, that's a good one we had talked about. Now, was this the first single?
Speaker 13: Yeah, that was the first one that we released at the beginning in like February or March of twenty twenty four. Okay, the version that we're hearing now is going to sound a little different than the one that we released.
Speaker 15: Oh really drums, Oh yeah, entirely.
Speaker 11: Oh no, chorded some stuff.
Speaker 9: Cool okay, okay, And I'm just I'm always so curious about this kind of thing. Well, why did you decide to do that? What did they just not come out so?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 11: The songs with Eric at Blackheart Sound.
Speaker 16: Oh.
Speaker 9: Eric, so his name, his name comes up on the show almost.
Speaker 11: On a weekly basis. Literally one of the coolest people on the planet. Absolute Eric.
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 17: But we did three songs with them, and then we're like, you know, maybe let's go back and do a couple more. And then when we started doing the other three that are going to be on the EP, the drum sound was just so different, really, and it sounded so much better, and we were like, you know what, let's let's make it that way.
Speaker 11: It's all consistent. Yeah, and it just came out so much better.
Speaker 13: We learned a lesson there, which would be, if we think we're not going to just do three songs, we might as well just do it all at once.
Speaker 15: And then that way folks do it day here, day here, day here.
Speaker 9: You just get a week and do it.
Speaker 11: All at once.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there you go, there you go. All right, let's give this a spin. This is called Why and the band is the dol Drums.
Speaker 7: Just get one?
Speaker 3: Do you know?
Speaker 8: I said.
Speaker 3: Walking the ws You you want to say.
Speaker 20: Why, I'll say times I think got say that, I got try that sais.
Speaker 8: I not that s T S.
Speaker 7: So just take me that to someone. Wow, wow, wow, so.
Speaker 3: Gotch as canny?
Speaker 8: So can it?
Speaker 21: Sah, I love it.
Speaker 9: That is so good. That is called why. And by the way, that is why not just the letter why if you're wondering. The band is The Doldrums, and we've got the band the Doldrums here with us alive in studio on this Saturday morning here at WMNH And uh yeah, I love that track. That is really good, really really good. Do you guys how many how many songs do you guys have? Like, do you have additional songs that you play live that that are not yet recorded or.
Speaker 12: Not yet recorded. No, there are additional songs that we do play live. There was actually, well, there was a previous release from the band before me, Tom and the drummer Rob were in the band.
Speaker 11: They had a I think it was a four track of five track.
Speaker 13: Yeah, we had a there was a previous iteration that were me and Rob singer Rob, and we released a four song EP with a couple guys back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 10: Twenty twenty. Yeah, we started the band of twenty eighteen. That's before we had these new handsome gentlemen here. Oh, Tom and drummer. Yeah, so twenty eighteen and then like we kicked out a couple of members because thee not good people.
Speaker 15: Oh, we had a hiatus a while.
Speaker 11: Sounds like there's a story there.
Speaker 10: Oh, there's definitely a story there with a long story.
Speaker 9: One you can tell her.
Speaker 11: Probably not probably would I would go with probably, yeah.
Speaker 10: Probably.
Speaker 9: I'm always looking for the dirt always, maybe not on air, yeah, always looking for the for the dirt, but you know, off air dirt is the next best thing. Yeah, selfishly. Okay, By the way, so where does a name come from? The doldrums?
Speaker 10: It's like al I came up with it. I mean like twenty eighteen when I started the bands, I like heard of the word and I was like, that would make a cool band name. It's like the the meaning of doldrums is like the part of the ocean where like boats like can't win there's like no wind, so they kind of sink.
Speaker 15: Stuck in place.
Speaker 9: I didn't know that was the etymology of the term. Yeah.
Speaker 10: So it's kind of like people say like I'm in the dol rooms, meaning like you know, they're almost like being like depressed.
Speaker 11: No progress yeaeah, okay, just a bunch of sad boys.
Speaker 15: A fitting uting name.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah. I mean, while I don't know, the music's pretty high energy now, it's not like I didn't. I didn't know quite what to expect when I saw the name of the Doldrums. I thought it might be punk. I thought it might be like, you know, kind of more stoner metal. I don't know, how do you guys describe for people who haven't heard heard your sound? Like, how do you how do you describe it?
Speaker 15: That's really I don't think we know anything difficult.
Speaker 10: It's like its like I, at least personally have a lot of like garage rock influence. Yeah, so I kind of like try to show that in the band. I think we have some of that sound in there.
Speaker 21: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's really hard, but it kind of like started off as it was supposed to be, like funk.
Speaker 17: When I joined the band, that was kind of metal drummer. Yeah, I was a very heavy drummer and they were looking for that. And I think when I joined the band, I kind of got away from the surf punk thing, and I think we just kind of meshed.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so I do think we still dip back into the surf punk surf punk roots every once in a while.
Speaker 9: But yeah, yeah, I mean I can hear that. I can hear that mix of influences, and I can actually imagine you guys doing a surf punk song, you know.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I can hear that, and.
Speaker 17: I think that's why it's it's so like, you know, we have some tracks that are very heavy and then they're very melodic. Yeah, like we we kind of just thrive off each other with that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So is there anybody in the area that you guys play a lot of shows with, you know, it kind of happens organically sometimes, yeahs yeah.
Speaker 12: Definitely, granitears okay, yeah yeah, but I mean, honestly, we haven't played that many live shows overall. Yeah, it's we we We've spent a lot of time on this EP. Yeah, yeah, going into the studio and getting these recordings.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: What's interesting about you guys doing a lot of shows with the Regels is obviously they have a very different sound than you. Yeah, but but they're interesting too, and that they've got like a real like you can hear a lot of different influences in their music as well as great and it's but yeah, they are so good. It was just the well we had them on the show. It was just the two guys came in and played live, but it was was so good.
Speaker 11: Bet.
Speaker 9: But we saw them. We met them at the Shasking Jenny and I did, uh originally right, it was that was the first time we'd met them, right the Shasking that night. Yeah, yeah, because Jenny's son Jesse, was playing there at Jesse Coffee and that was Yeah, that was the first time we'd met Regels and it was like, wow, I don't know if it was the full Oh no, wait, didn't we meet them before that at Mosaic Mosaic Arts Studio. That was the full band that was playing that night. Yeah, yeah, but they're uh, they're really really good.
Speaker 9: What are what are kind of the long term plans as far as you guys are, are you looking to tour? Like do you were? I know you haven't played a ton of shows yet, but are you looking to to kind of get on the road or what's what's really.
Speaker 11: Talked about touring?
Speaker 12: We are submitting for a contest with this music video that we just made, and I mean the prize being a stage at Warped Tour, like playing at warp So I mean fingers crossed obviously a.
Speaker 5: Little bit of a long.
Speaker 15: Might as well try.
Speaker 10: I believe we can do it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I believe you can too. That would be cool. I can imagine you guys have warped tour. Definitely.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you want to play the what do you want to play next? We should play another one.
Speaker 12: We should play the single out for Friday. Yeah, so this will this will be the first time anybody's hearing. So this is the uh so, obviously first time on the radio. Then, so this is the world radio premiere, world period.
Speaker 10: Yea world premiere.
Speaker 11: It's a banger.
Speaker 9: We love the world premieres here and this is uh so, this is freaking me out, freaking me out?
Speaker 22: Yeah, and I just got to make sure I've got the right version, big things coming, got to make sure and uh the heck did I do with it?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 5: Maybe I didn't.
Speaker 9: Maybe I didn't download that one onto the computer. He That's okay, that I can do that really quick. Tell us about this while I'm doing that, Like, what what should we know about? This song?
Speaker 11: Freaking me out? Probably heavier than every other one of our songs.
Speaker 15: Definitely have been weirder, definitely considerably weirder.
Speaker 12: All over the place, but a little bit of a Latin beat in there, a little bit of a circus jem Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10: It's got a little bit of everything to be honest.
Speaker 9: Okay, definitely a strange one for us, Okay. And what went into the decision to make this the next single? Any any method to that or do you just really like the track?
Speaker 11: It's how it always happens. We were in the studio and I get done with my parts, and all of a sudden, they go, well, we got a little bit of time, you want to maybe try to lay down some drum.
Speaker 10: Tracks for this.
Speaker 11: Take, And I'm like, we'll see if we do. And then all of a sudden, it just became like our favorite every yeah, yeah, yeah, every song becomes our new favorite song.
Speaker 3: Right right, yeah.
Speaker 13: And we're also like pushing what like the envelope of what we've been doing with each new song, Like everything's been getting weirder and crazier. We're kind of finding our sound a little more, especially with the songs that we're working on now, like it's starting to come into place.
Speaker 15: And so this one definitely we all were like this rules.
Speaker 9: All right, that's so good, all right, And this is coming out Friday. Yeah, alright, very good, very good things coming all right, let's give this a listen. This is the uh this is an exclusive here on WMNH World Radio Premiere. Oh, Jenny's ready for Easter World.

Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, definitely, definitely I think so.
Speaker 9: No, it deserves one.
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 16: Is that?
Speaker 9: Is that one of the more challenging songs to play because you've got that middle part with the time change and that.
Speaker 11: It's interesting that one not so much in my opinion.
Speaker 12: I mean, what would you say, what's your It's more important to know what the drummer, what's your heart?
Speaker 9: Is song to play?
Speaker 11: What's my hardest song to play?
Speaker 17: I think depending on where we are in the set lists, I think sometimes big black, big black, bottle of booth.
Speaker 11: To say it, but it's hard to high energy. It's like two and a half minutes of like I'm just sweating.
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, I will say Freaking me Out was the first song that ever recorded where I did blast beats.
Speaker 11: Beats. I'm like, I've never done this before. That was that was interesting?
Speaker 14: Was it harder to that?
Speaker 9: That companty easy once you wait for and I just went for it and I was like.
Speaker 11: Okay, but I've never done it before. So yeah, but it came out great.

Speaker 9: I don't get me wrong. There's a lot of great, great recording studios around and everything, and people who are really good at what they're doing. But I kind of feel like Eric is the best.
Speaker 11: I mean, Eric just get us.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 13: The thing you know, he always has ideas to to add into the song and stuff. He has no fear of just jumping in and being yeah let me just put this little guitar lock on.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah absolutely. Yeah, Like I said, because when we had him on the show, because I told him, you know, your name comes up constantly. So yeah, we had him on the show. I don't know, maybe six months ago, maybe longer, we should, we should get him back on, but uh, but he's busier than ever.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's doing great. And yeah, absolutely, he's he's fantastic. Yeah, and and what about the now. As far as the video for for why why is the song? You've got the video for right?
Speaker 11: Is that?
Speaker 9: Are you doing that all your yourselves? Or is the video already done or are you going to film it?
Speaker 10: The filming?
Speaker 9: Oh, okay, the film is done. It just needs editing.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the film he's done, Like I said, our videographer, like he had the idea for it and he just he just needs to edit it now. And we have a submission date for May third, I believe, to send it to uh the contest for you know, for the spot on Warped. Yeah, for the Warped tour. I think we get money and yeah, but we'll but.
Speaker 9: We'll we'll release it then, I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, very cool, very cool. We should uh, I want to make sure we get we get one or two more and uh, let's let's play let's play another track. What do you guys want to play?
Speaker 11: Should we do Big Black Bottle?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 10: Yeah, we were just talking about yeah party track.
Speaker 13: It might have been the first time that we wrote back in twenty eighteen, really as a joke, but now it's turned into I think.
Speaker 11: A lot of us and it actually has Tom mainly on Bold yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: After after I had joined the band, me and Rob had joined the band, they played us some of their old tracks that didn't make it onto the previous eph and they made me a big black bottle of booze. Then I was like, that is one of the greatest punk so so I forced them all to continue to play that song. Uh yeah, And we went back into the studio and.
Speaker 11: I hated playing that song like the longest time. So good.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it turned out it gets the crowd going for sure.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but yeah, this one mainly I'm I'm I'm mostly lead on this vocally. It was really cool.
Speaker 9: All right, sweet, let's give this a spin. This is big, big black bottle. But yeah, that is hard to second big black bottle of booze. The band is the Doldrums.
Speaker 20: He's got a bag fly baas, I got a bag blas.
Speaker 6: I got a bag laugh blas.
Speaker 7: I got a bag black.
Speaker 6: No one's ever gonna take it away.
Speaker 9: No, no one's ever gonna take it away.
Speaker 3: No, no what's ever.
Speaker 20: Gonna take it away. No, no one's ever gonna take it away.
Speaker 6: No, No, I got back my bah blah blahs.
Speaker 20: I gotta bag fly bla blah blahs. I got a bag fly by blah bus. I gotta bag black base.
Speaker 9: No one's ever gonna take it away, though, No one tell her gonna take it away.
Speaker 3: No, no one tellver gonna take it away.
Speaker 20: No, no one tell her gonna take it away. No, no one tever gonna take it away. No, no one's ever gonna take it away.
Speaker 5: No, no one's ever gonna take it away.
Speaker 3: I got bag.
Speaker 6: I got a b B.
Speaker 20: Bag bat bag.
Speaker 11: That was a little bit at the end.
Speaker 14: Here ready, big black bottle of booze.
Speaker 9: Hey, I did it by the Doldrums and we've got the dol drums here with us in studio. Yeah, that is a great track. That is really really everything you guys have is really CATCHYPPI. I love that absolutely, and I can imagine too that that gets the crowd going live, because that's why you can definitely sing along to, you know.
Speaker 11: For surely two lines.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I used to sing this song and then I was like, I need a vocal break during the set. So I was like, you know, Tom, I'm gonna have you sing this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So yeah, it's it's nice to I just play guitar and I do a little bit of backing vocals during that track.
Speaker 11: But we usually put that one towards the middle of the set just so he can take a breathing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 15: That's not a vocal break for me though.
Speaker 10: No, it is not, right right, it's a vocal break for drummer over here though.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you do you sing backups live?
Speaker 11: I mean I have, but typically I just kind of focus on, you know, just carrying the beat.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 11: We got enough vocal power. Yeah, it's really it would just be redundant.
Speaker 5: We do have.
Speaker 11: I mean there's a lot of gang vocals on a lot of our tracks.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's Yeah. I think that's a big part of what you guys do. That's a big part of what brings the energy to it too. Yeah, but uh yeah, that's that's really really good. What do you What else do you guys have coming up? Obviously you have the show tonight at the Shaft Skiing, and then do you have some other stuff coming up or I don't know, if you're more focused on on promoting the singles or or I assume summer you're going to be busy, right, because every everybody plays a lot in the summer, it seems.
Speaker 15: Like, yeah, I think the plan is well.
Speaker 13: We just needed to take some time to kind of dial in and get in the studio, get everything mixed, get everything mastered, figure out the video thing, all that stuff. So we took a little bit of break from playing shows since, like I don't know January or February, but I think for the summer we're gonna start accepting shows again.
