Jenny is here, of course at the news table, present and account of and in addition to her bunny ears as she's wearing because it is Easter weekend, we are both wearing our Warhog shirts.
Speaker 2: We are twining.
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, we never do that, but we've both got our Warhog shirts on because we love Warhog love talking to these guys. We've got Scott Beatley from Warhog is on skype with us. Hopefully this is work. Can hey, Scott? Can you hear me?
Speaker 11: Hey? I can't, can you hear me? Yes?
Speaker 10: Yes, welcome, Welcome morning, Welcome to the show. You never know with Skype, I actually just saw a notification that said that Skype is ending in May, and then we have to use Google Teams. Now I guess Google Teams is replacing Skype, so we'll have to figure that out for the for the for the future. But always always great to have you on the show. Of course, you're the singer and guitarist and Warhog and we we do enjoy Warhog. And is that the newest single Unleash the Beast?
Speaker 11: It was until yesterday.
Speaker 10: Oh okay, what's what's the newest one?
Speaker 11: The newest one that we dropped yesterday is called Future Shock.
Speaker 10: Oh, yes, excellent, Yes we will, we'll play that. We'll play that at the end of our conversation. So that just came out. So that's brand new.
Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, absolutely excellent. It's fresh.
Speaker 10: So I assume it's out on all the streaming services. And has that been played on has that been played on the radio at all yet?
Speaker 11: No, not that I am aware of you. You might be the first. You probably will be.
Speaker 10: Let's assume that we are because we love to do we as as you know, we love to do the world radio premieres here on Matt Connor, so that we'll we'll make this a world radio premiere. And that is wonderful. That is wonderful. Now these now, these tracks are these? Are these part of an album? Are you just releasing these as singles at this point?
Speaker 11: No? They we are. We have a full uh four track EP coming out at the end of probably a mid July.
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 11: We were originally we were originally going to drop a third EP in the Dystopian Chronicles series earlier this year, but after working with kind of our PR marketing team that we're working with, they asked us to hold on to it and release it in the summer, and that gave us an opportunity to release a couple of the other tracks as singles. The original plan was just to drop Unleash the Beast in January and then the whole EP in March, but instead where we did Future Shock this weekend, and we've got another one that will release i think in June, mid June, okay, before releasing the full in July.
Speaker 10: Now did they ask you, I'm curious about that, you know, because I'm a music industry guy, Did they ask you to do that because you kind of want to, you know, you've got to feed that machine. We live in an era where you know, it's it's it's really different than it used to be, obviously, Like you know, I'm old enough to remember when I was growing up, it was the standard thing pre internet was you release an album or an EP, and then you release a series of singles or the first single comes out six to eight weeks before the album, but everything else comes out afterward.
Speaker 10: And now it seems to be it's really kind of inverted, right, you know, Yeah, most artists now are releasing you know, because you have that option with social media. You can put out a single and promote it and then those singles eventually form an EP or an album. And is that is that what the PR company kind of said, you know, let's let's do that instead.
Speaker 11: And so I think there was also a mix of, you know, just kind of the way that the band works and the year that we had with Robert and getting him kind of up to speed, but also catching up from those several months where we didn't have a drummer. You know, we were just hitting them with music, kind of constantly, and and you know, we we had planned with with those folks the C Square to you know, they they gave us a cadence of dates that were like, all right, you know in twenty twenty four, on this date, you're going to release a single, then this single, and then this EP, and then this single, then this single, then this EP.
Speaker 11: And just because of the way we were trying to you know, do all the shows that we were doing and all the stuff, it was like, all right, this is due on you know, no November twenty second. So we were turning it in like November twenty first, and they were we weren't really giving them a chance to do their job. Yeah, And so they this year were like, all right, knocking off, if this thing is done, let's sit on it and give us a chance to do our thing. And we're like, okay, sure. Yeah. So I think I think that is some of it too, where we just they wanted to have an opportunity to promote, you know, to help us promote this and to do some press for it and hopefully get more ears on it than I think the last couple of things that we've released have have put out.
Speaker 11: So yeah, that answers your question. But that's I think that's my sense of what why we're doing exactly what we're doing right now.
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, it does answer it. And I think that that makes a lot of sense, because you know, I think as an artist you probably I feel like a lot of artists, and I know from my own experience and playing in bands, if you records something and you're really happy with it, you want to get it out to the world. You want everybody to hear it, and then you've got to kind of it's hard sometimes, I think, to kind of rein that in and say, well, we need to we need to go about it the right way because in the long term, you want to impact the largest possible audience that you can, growing your fan base, so you've got to approach it with a lot of strategy.
Speaker 10: But there's also that short term impulse, you know, and and there's that short term gratification that comes with putting something out and people like it, they respond to it. But you know, it's I hate to use the cliche, but it does fit. It's a marathon, it's not a sprint, and you want to make you want to get the most out of what you've put all this hard work into all this music that you've recorded, you want to get the most out of it in terms of the impact with a fan base and expanding that fan base.
Speaker 10: So I think it makes a lot.
Speaker 11: And at this point, we're used to sitting on songs that we love for a year before anybody gets to hear them. Yeah. So one of the ways we've one of the ways I think we've kind of alleviated for ourselves as we started a Patreon And kind of the conceit of the Patreon is if you sign up, you know, we'll we'll basically get you into a couple of shows no cover charge. But what we're doing with it is the promise of every month we're releasing songs that we haven't released yet in their demo form. Oh So it's a way, it's a way for us to not have to sit on some of that music for as long as we are, and we can kind of share it out with a you know, the folks that are that are subscribing and supporting us, you know, we're able to share some of that stuff out and explain where we are in the process and say, you know, a lot of times it's what's a month.
Speaker 11: I do it at the beginning of every month, and so it's like, you know, here's what we're working on the studio. It's this track or this EP, but here's a song that we're probably going to release in May of twenty twenty six. You know, I would just throw out the working demo version of it. Yeah, yeah, kind of people get you're kind of the process, you know, they can hear it the way we're learning it and listening to it and kind of getting used to it, you know, and then down the line we released the real thing.
Speaker 11: And then that's the other kind of the benefit of the patreons. We give the music the weekend, the finished versions away downloadable with all the tagged art and stuff, yeah to the Patreon.
Speaker 10: So I think that's a fantastic concept for the Patreon. I really do, because I know, yeah, yeah, because I know, like as a fan, if I'm really into an artist, I love and and some people don't care about this kind of thing, but some people really are get really into it if they're if they're very passionate about an artist. I love getting to hear demos, you know, for something that's going to be recorded in the studio. Or or it has been recorded and it's just not out yet, or if I've already heard the studio version because it's out.
Speaker 10: But so I'll just give you an example. My all time favorite band is Kiss, and I love getting to every time I find it new demo because YouTube is heavily popular, populated, you know, more and more so all the time with with Kiss, demos that uh, you know, that that people hadn't heard before. And I love hearing demos of of into a studio album and it's just well, here's this demo that somebody found and now it's on YouTube and I get to hear it, and I love that kind of stuff, you know, hearing the raw you know, you know that that raw material that ultimately forms into what happens in the studio.
Speaker 10: I think that's great. So I love that concept.
Speaker 11: Thanks. Yeah, I'm the same way. I think it's a lot of fun to listen to, you know, your favorite artists in a way that is not the packaged product that they usually let you listen to. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, And I don't even mind if it's you know, obviously, if if it's a demo, it's a little rough, it's not going to be you know, fully mixed and mastered. But but but I kind of like that too, Like I don't I don't mind hearing something that it's it's not, you know, super polished. I like, I like hearing the raw stuff. So that's that's a great concept. And you know, and I and I think for it it it kind of not only not only do you get to share that with the fans, but I think for for fans who you know, it kind of it's it's kind of like they're they're in the inner circle then, right, It's like they're in on something that other people aren't necessarily in on.
Speaker 10: And I think, I think that's uh, I think that's that's awesome. And then and then they get the single too early if they joined the Patreon they get when the single finally does come out, they get it a little bit early.
Speaker 11: I assume, Well, yeah, usually, I mean, unless the single is a standalone thing. Okay, most of our singles are gonna be or of a of a bigger thing, an EP or an album, and so we'll give them the full EP.
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 11: That way, they just get it all kind of when it's all all said and done. But that's just because a lot of our you know, there's like the whole band camp side of it, like we don't we have a couple of singles like klopperk Man and then the Warhog Song are there kind of their own little things, So we'll give them those. But these two, the at least The Beast and Peter Shock, those are gonna be part of that third EP, so we'll just give them that when it's it's.
Speaker 10: Finished, Okay, okay, excellent, And so that thirty p so that's going to be the Dysopian Chronicles Volume three.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Yeah, we're finally wrapping it up. I'm really excited to have that whole thing kind of finished. It's been a it's been an interesting adventure, but I'm excited for it to be done and out in the world.
Speaker 10: Over the course of doing this series, have you released music that's not a part of the series itself, that's separate from it, or is everything that you've released since you put out Volume one has it all been a part of the Dystopian Chronicles.
Speaker 11: It's all been part of the Dystopian Chronicles.
Speaker 10: Okay, okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Is that hard to keep to that?
Speaker 10: Like, do you guys ever come up with something that you really think is is really good that you want to work on, but it just doesn't fit the concept of what you've been doing, so you have to put it aside. I mean, does that ever happen?
Speaker 11: Oh? Absolutely, We're definitely yes. And and EP three became what it is kind of because of that reason. There was so we had. The original idea was we were gonna put out a second album, and when we when we released the first one and we only got so much kind of push because it was just one thing at one time, we decided to break up album two into these three EPs. And the original idea was EP one and EP two would be a collection of you know, four or five four or five minute long songs. They would be like your traditional EPs.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and then the third one was going to be this big, huge, kind of epic thing that Eric had worked on and written and that was twenty three minutes long. It was this big, huge, sprawling epic song, and that was gonna be EG three. We're gonna release it by itself. Oh wow. Yeah, And that was the plan. And then while we were you know, getting Robert acclimated to the band and him learning material and doing shows and recording all these these cracks that we wanted to get caught up on. We were writing new material for the future, and when we got to a certain point the c squared the our pr and marketing folks were asking us for a single ahead of the EP, and we were like, well, there's just the one song.
Speaker 11: It's twenty three minutes long, like it is gonna be what it is, and they were like, that's we should really maybe think about doing a traditional EP. And we're like, oh good, we can just move that big twenty three long, three minute long song somewhere else and we can place some of these numerous songs that we've written that we're really excited about and get them out there sooner. We kind of shifted gears at the very beginning of the year. I meet like December of last year and said, okay, let's change.
Speaker 11: EP three will be these four songs, and we picked the songs and I at least the Beast was a completely new composition. Like Eric had had this riff in his mind, it was kind of already working on this idea and then he and I just kind of wrote the lyrics for it and it came together pretty quickly, so but like future Shock is something that we've had in the songs that were written folder on dropbox for like two years. Uh, follow is going to be on there. And then there's this the closer for the EP and kind of the whole Dystopia Chronicles as a as a whole.
Speaker 11: Is this song called Stewards of a Broken World that I'm really excited about. I think the guys are really excited about getting it out there. It was one of these things that I wrote and what I shared with the band everybody kind of collectedly was like, this was awesome and it sucks that we're gonna have to sit on this for a really long time. Yeah, we all knew it was gonna be fun to play live. It's gonna be a it's a very kind of anthemic. I don't know it, it'll be fun. I'm excited for it to come out.
Speaker 11: But yeah, yeah, we definitely have stuff that we sit on. But then this one, like I said, is a good example of, oh, let's just switch gears a little bit, and maybe we're releasing these a little earlier that we thought.
Speaker 10: So yeah, yeah, no that makes sense. So so for those who don't know what is the Dystopian chronicles and and what's kind of the concept here and is it a is it a story or is it more of a is it a broader concept or or what is the Dystopian chronicles.
Speaker 11: It's kind of an anthology, I guess it's it's not a it's not a fault conceptual narrative. Like calling the Voyager was. You know, we had some songs that we've put together that we're all just kind of depressing and
Speaker 11: I like not very hopeful and and so as that theme kind of just took its its shape with the leftovers from the Voyager writing process, we started thinking about, well, we can just write all these songs that are all kind of you know, the future is bad, bad things are happening, What are the what are the reasons that society is you know, uh rumbling or whatever, And so we just every song has that kind of bend to it, but they're not necessarily connected. It's just that that undercurrent theme of of you know, what's going on in the world and why are things this way?
Speaker 11: And why are we doing anything to make any of it better? Stuff like that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the uh the Cybertooth song is is so that that's like my personal favorite. I love that, But which one is that on?
Speaker 11: I forget now, that's that's I think the opening crack of Volume one.
Speaker 10: That's all. That's the opening around Volume one. Yeah, we'll just love that song. It's it's so catchy and fun you know that was that that was not depressing it well, I mean, I guess it's it's depressing in the sense that that's the concept is scary, but it's also funny and the song is funny.
Speaker 11: For sure, for sure, and that's kind of the you know, it's thematically. Some of the stuff is just dark, but song, the song, they're all kind of their own thing. But yeah, like you'd say, oh yeah, the song about a the Hunt of the cyber Tooth doesn't sound depressing at all, but we're like, I mean, it's like a takes place in the world where the cops have no control, so they just tend out a killing machine every night to get hunt down criminals indiscriminately. Like that's bad. Yeah right, yeah, you know we released and now like, look at what's happening with like ice and stuff.
Speaker 12: Yeah, maybe maybe something not so far off so right, you know, but that's that's part of the you know this, All the all the best dystopian works are wrapped in fantasy.
Speaker 11: And then when you take that kind of veneer away, you're like, oh no, this is this is bad. This is already bad. We're already in this bad spot.
Speaker 10: So well, that's that's the thing, right, I mean, that's that's how you can connect with people with something like that. That's fantasy. I mean obviously, you know, people enjoy all kinds of you know, whether it's music or books or films or you know, all kinds of sort of fantasy type stuff. But I think the fantasy stuff that resonates the most with people is where Okay, this is fantasy, it's fiction, but this could actually happen, and you know, and it kind of gets those neurons fireing and and and makes you think a little bit and and I think that's I think that's really cool about what you're doing.
Speaker 10: I think that's that's part of what's a big draw with your music. I mean, obviously the songs are very catchy and and really good hooks, and and the playing is phenomenal, and your vocals and all of it. You've got the whole package. But I think also it resonates with people because there's something there that they can that they can kind of analyze and think about.
Speaker 11: Yeah, thank you. Yeah, that's I mean, that's the idea, right, Yeah, we could we could go out there and write fluff about stuff that doesn't matter, or we can write about stuff that matters, you know, Like I I think three of us, three of us in the band will have kids, and you know, every day I wake up to a fresh new hell of this world that we're living in, and I can't help but wonder, like, what is what is it that we're leaving for this next generation or two, you know, And and that's that's definitely on my mind every time I sit down with a guitar and start working on something, or at least it has been for these last couple of years.
Speaker 10: So yeah, Uh, do you write all the lyrics?
Speaker 11: No, Eric and I probably share. I think probably Eric and I if you hadn't split it and you really went down into the math, I'd say it's probably like a sixty to forty split, where Eric does does the sixty percent of the writing and I write forty of the writing. And that and that's music and lyrics. Eric is a really good songwriter in his own in his own right, and he has his own distinct style. A lot of times, what will happen is Eric will write something that he Whenever I write, I sit down, and you know, the way my brain works is it goes okay, and don't forget you'd have to do these things at the same time.
Speaker 11: So the guitar parts that I write tend to enable me to sing, whereas Eric doesn't really do that. He just writes the guitar part and puts the song together and then we'll put lyrics to it without trying to do them at the same time. And so my job is usually to take Eric's lyrics and write them into something that I can sing. And sometimes that's an extensive rewrite, and sometimes it's just paging a couple of words or pulling a couple of syllables out or little stuff like that. But I'd say it's probably probably sixty forty just for no reason other than that, it's just is what's been working for us, right.
Speaker 11: I mean, Eric, when I played together in a band a long time ago, when I was the kind of the primary songwriter, and I probably wrote ninety five percent of the music, you know, So I'm happy to let him take the wheel and drive on the majority of this stuff now. But yeah, yeah, yeah, we do definitely share.
Speaker 10: Yeah, oh excellent, excellent. And what about as far as live shows, are you guys playing a lot or I know you've been really focused on the you are you're doing a lot of shows.
Speaker 11: Good, Yeah, I was looking at it. We've got we did seven shows already this year. I think the last show we played was in mid March, and then Eric and his wife were expecting another kid who was born Monday or Tuesday, I think maybe Monday night. So they that's why he's not here today because they're they're doing baby stuff this morning.
Speaker 13: That's understandable, Yeah, exactly, and and so uh so we had taken kind of mid March through mid May off and black that off the of the calendar, just because we didn't want to like, you know, be setting up for a gig.
Speaker 11: And then Corey to call and be like, I can go make it the labor you know, in March in April. But we're going to start back up again here in the next couple of weeks in May, and we've got two shows in May. I show booked in June and July and August and September, so we're booked all the way out kind of into the ball.
Speaker 10: So oh excellent, excellent, Yeah, playing a lot.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So the music that you're sitting on, is it, like, do you ever get tempted to sneak something of that into the live set or are you guys pretty Oh no.
Speaker 11: No, No, it's easy to do that because we don't really the way that with Eric and I and the way that just our band is operating. This is gonna sound terrible when I say it out loud, but the other guys aren't really required to write a song. Oh. So, like I'll a lot of our demos when Eric finishes a song, When I finish a song, it's got MIDI drums, Like we'll program our own drum parts and stuff. And I can play bass, and Eric can play bass, and Eric can sing, and so he'll do all the vocals on all of his songs.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and then I'll do all the you know, so like I'll just we'll just kind of package our songs together. Yeah, And so what what ends up is we don't really work up a song as a whole band until we're ready to add it to the set. List, okay, which means we have recorded it and are ready to release it. Like right now we are in the studio working up Unleash the Beast and Future Shock and Stewards of a Broken World so that we can start playing them in May to promote EP three.
Speaker 10: Okay, Okay, So yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 11: Which is if I mean, and you know, like it's kind of not the most uh, I don't know, genuine kind of four guys in a room, you know, cranking out music together. But I have a feeling that that's how a lot of other folks do it. Well, they'll just you know, pretty sure, Iron Maiden gets together once a year and everybody brings their demo tapes and they're like, well, here's the six songs I wrote, here's the six songs I wrote, and here's the and then they just kind of like pick the ones that they're all going to learn, and then they just spend three weeks learning in them and then record them.
Speaker 11: You know. So that's kind of what we do. We kind of just do the same thing.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I mean, there's no right or wrong way to do it, you know.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it works for it works for us. But but what's nice is we're not. When we play shows now, we're really consistent and you know, we're really just nailing the crap out of the songs that we're playing, and then as we rotate stuff in, we can rotate older stuff out, and yeah, I think it helps folks kind of get familiar with the new material as well, because we kind of play in the same spots and you know, the same uh, the same set orders and stuff like that. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, what what is the live show like in terms of are there any theatrics? Do you use any special effects? Because yeah, your music certainly lends itself to that. I would think.
Speaker 11: Yeah, departing on the venue, we we do a couple of couple of different things. But like this place in Dallas called Freeze, which is kind of a legendary local venue, Like Nirvana played there in the early nineties before they kind of like really blew up. Everybody has played at Grease that that comes through and they've got an amazing digital display behind the drums, and so we can go in there with videos and just all sorts of animated stuff and so we've we've experimented with like every song, it's a different backdrop.
Speaker 11: Oh cool, right, so we played the Ciber two song You've got the dyscopian kind of alleyway that that cover art sat on. When we play some of the other stuff, you know, we change up the you know, the the backdrop changes and the the you know, the Warhog logo will come in and out and stuff. But what we've started doing this year, which I really love, is we have a Warhog pop doom that the night of the show, we just kind of grab someone from the audience and designate them as the war Hog and we close our show with the song Warhog.
Speaker 11: And there's this kind of in the middle of it, there's this big kind of gang chant that's we call upon the war Hoog and.
Speaker 14: Coming out did we go into the carsonal So, now what we've got is put endless boor mask. They had like a shield and an axe and they've got there's like a shirt and everything. They come out and they like, you know, ramp up the crowd, and if we've.
Speaker 11: Got some shwag, they'll throw swag out and you know, or they'll throw t shirts out, and uh, they just want to come out and ramp up the crowd like a mascot. And then they just disappear off the side of the state when it's done, and then we finish the set. But that's what we're doing now, is we've got we've got a warhog that actually comes out, and I think what we're gonna start doing is its incorporating that with some of the back ground images and put him in places so that if you're it's the first time you've seen us, and you're seeing us at Creese, you know, we start the first song and there's our big backdrop, and the war hog will be in there somewhere, and the three songs later will change it and there will be a new backdrop, but that that will die will be in there somewhere.
Speaker 11: But by the eighth or night song, when the actual warhog comes out in the flesh, it's like, oh, this is the thing. They've been teasing this and now it's here looking me in the in the eye, you know, like that's that kind of those kind of theatrics are limitually manageable in a small venue, and we we do that in the small venues too. My sister was actually just the warhog at our last show. Was really funny. Yeah, So man or woman whoever wants to be the Warhogs who can make it happen.
Speaker 10: So that's fantastic. That's fantastic.
Speaker 11: I love that.
Speaker 10: Is there any video of that on YouTube?
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, uh yeah, if you go to our YouTube page, I'll pull it up real quick. There is a video see Warho Warhog Unleash the Bees. I think there's a video of someone doing the Warhog.
Speaker 10: I gotta check that out.
