2:49 Speaker 3: That's not bad?

2:50 Speaker 8: That serious?

2:54 Speaker 2: Wes that somebody past last? WoT this last week?

3:19 Speaker 9: Oh that is so cool and uh and a little ominous that is called Tomorrow. That is Ryan Redwood all the way from the UK. We did give the American radio premiere to that track a number of weeks ago. And I love that song, love that song. But we've got Ryan on with us via WhatsApp. I believe Hey, Ryan, Matt, how you doing mate? Good? How are you welcome to the program? I love that song, love that song.

3:45 Speaker 8: Thank you very much.

3:46 Speaker 10: I appreciate you and showing it some.

3:49 Speaker 9: School absolutely one of the things. And I did refer to the lyrics a little a little bit ominous. I noticed that because I was listening to some of your previous your work, and it seems like a little bit of a change in a direction for you, uh, in terms of lyrics. Maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong. You can you can tell me, but I feel like I feel like I said, this one has ah, it's got a message to it, right, and it's it's it's got a little bit of an ominous vibe. Whereas whereas your, uh, your other music seems a little more I don't know, happy, yeah, a little more a little more happy.

4:23 Speaker 9: Yeah, there you go, a little more happy.

4:25 Speaker 3: Uh.

4:25 Speaker 9: So, so tell us about Tomorrow. I'm really curious, uh, I'm curious to know more about this and and kind of what inspired you to write this.

4:34 Speaker 10: Yeah, man, I mean say, the old stuff a bit more about love and relationships and sort of a bit more happier and like the music itself is a bit more lifting, I think as well. With Tomorrow, I really want explore my darker side as well as like in more indie stuff that we have here in the UK, there is sort of like influences that since I was like a teenager, so I don't really want to get into that with especially guitars. And then like the subject matter with lyrics is sort of about climate change and how we are still ignoring it and like why we ignoring it when it's inevitable, like the world might end at less, like do something about it or.

5:16 Speaker 9: Try Yeah exactly, Yeah, there's that there's that light in there. What is it that you say they only listen when it's too late?

5:27 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah exactly.

5:29 Speaker 10: That's literally how how at the moment, especially with everything going on. I don't want to get into too much, but like politically all over the world, we're in a really.

5:41 Speaker 8: Dark spot.

5:42 Speaker 4: M M.

5:44 Speaker 10: That's what I'm explaining. Yeah, I don't know, but yeah, but I feel like is still kind of a little bit uplifted with its chorus, like musically, yeah, because there's a little bit escapism in there as well. It's not all doom and gloom.

5:56 Speaker 9: But right, right, right, right right?

5:59 Speaker 8: Are you talking?

6:00 Speaker 9: Are you talking directly into your phone or are you on a computer.

6:02 Speaker 10: Or I'm straight to my phone?

6:06 Speaker 9: Oh right, okay, it sounds better. Now you're kind of we're kind of losing you a little I was getting most of what you were saying, but we were kind of losing you a little bit. Ah right, Oh that's oh that's perfect right there, right there is perfect. Yeah. But but but yeah, no, I really like the I like the vibe. I like the message. And is that the first thing that you've written that's kind of like that? It's it's like I said, your your previous material doesn't seem to have that that same vibe.

6:29 Speaker 9: But I'm curious if you've written other things like that.

6:32 Speaker 10: Yeah, so this will be like the first of many of that sort of like vibe sort of just yeah, like I said, a bit of a darker direction compared to previous stuff. Yeah, I feel like I've sort of not completed what I've already done. But I got to a point where it was like, not only save for me to write that sort of stuff, but probably a bit samey for the people who have been listening for a while, you know what I mean. So it was nicer to like get the guitars out, turn the amps up a little bit more, and like go for a bit more of an aggressive approach, I guess, But yeah, there's definitely more to come, like the next one we're already working on at the moment, which is called The back Room, which is again that's sort of big guitars, a bit more aggressive with the vocal approach, and the nice as well.

7:15 Speaker 9: So yeah, nice nice. What's the reaction been like to to the single from people who've who've been following you for a while, Like, do you get a lot of comments on it? Like Wow, this is this is different? I like this. I don't like this. I mean, what what's kind of been the reaction to it?

7:32 Speaker 10: It's been It's been pretty good, to be fair, which I think is sort of the sign that people are sort of into you for you. Yeah that makes sense. Yes, So I feel like I'm in a really nice spot where the people who have been listening for a while. I could sort of go into anything or like I could go into like a techno record at some point, and I feel like they'd still go, oh, it's still right. I still like that, you know. So yeah, yeah, it's been really good. We've had so much support from like you guys as well, like every like radio station who's plaid it have been really into it as well.

8:03 Speaker 10: It's probably been the single that's gone down the best out of all of them, which is weird because in my head it doesn't seem that radio friendly and stuff really, but yeah, some reasons people really getting into it, mate.

8:16 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, No, I think it's uh. I think it's catchy. I think it's uh. I think it's got a good hook. I think no, I think you've got a hit. I just think it's really good. But again too, I also identify with the message, and some of what you're saying in the lyrics are the same kind of thoughts that I I have. Especially, like I said, I really latch onto that line about you know they'll only listen when it's too late, which is uh, you know, And that's the thing too, I mean, if you're gonna if you're gonna continue to go in that direction, You'll certainly never have a shortage of material to draw from.

8:46 Speaker 9: Uh, in the world that we live in, right, You're always gonna have You're always gonna have stuff to uh to write about.

8:53 Speaker 12: Uh.

8:54 Speaker 9: Certainly, where where do you record? I mean, because everything, everything that you've done it, I'm it sounds really good. I mean, do you have a do you have a producer that you work with consistently? Do you do it all yourself or what's the process?

9:06 Speaker 12: Like?

9:07 Speaker 10: So yeah, like the older stuff done with a guy called Sam Wilson, who is one of my childhood best mates, but this one of the most recent one, Tomorrow is done with another one of my childhood best mates. I'm very fortunate to have a lot of like talented people around me. We're really good at what they do. So yeah, tomorrow was done with as A Lambert, who was also in a band called a JHJ who was sort of a little bit heavier as well. So it sort of made sense to do this with him used to that sort of vibe because we share a lot of common interests anyway, but I normally sort of start to start the tune off recording wise in my back room, which is why the next song called so I start off, I'll get like a rough demo down and then we'll take it to whoever I'm working, whether it be Sam or we'll sort of just bash it out together and maybe change some parts and then and then take it to the studio.

10:06 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent. Do you plan to do you plan to release an album with with these songs that you're working on now? This this question comes up a lot on the show because of so many different ways to release music now, in different strategies to use. Uh, do you plan to just do singles for an hour? Are you gonna put these into an album eventually? Or maybe you haven't thought that far. I don't know, but.

10:30 Speaker 10: Well, I would love to do an album. I just like you say. I think there's so many different ways in which people are can assuming music nowadays. I feel like singles are the best way to sort of stay relevant, if that makes sense, because you can bring a year yeah more these days throughout either right, I feel like to do an album. I'd like to get to a point where I could just not disappear but not do as much for six seven months and really focus on getting the album right and then out and sort of have the hype around it.

11:01 Speaker 10: But an album is something I talk about with friends like regularly, like something that comes up like nearly on a weekly basis. They asked me the same thing, like I'm just doing an album, mate, and it's like, it's not just it's not just doing an album, guys, it's like everything else that has to go into it.

11:16 Speaker 9: You know, right, right, Yeah, nothing is as simple as it looks to someone who doesn't know who you know, who's never done this, right, It's not that it's not that simple. Are you do you play out a lot? Are you able to uh to gig out a lot and tour in your area?

11:35 Speaker 11: Yeah?

11:35 Speaker 10: Man, we're always busy with the gigs come in like thick and fast, especially this year. Good seems to have had a bit of like a quiet start for the year. But as the year's sort of gone on and the weather has been getting better, I think there's been yet more and more opt to get out there and play live.

11:51 Speaker 9: So now, now when you go out to play you are you bringing a full band or do you do do you do solo dates? Or why? What's a live situation like for you?

12:03 Speaker 10: So we saw the mix of things. Really, it's been predominantly on my own, like just me and the acoustic guitar for a little while. But we've done a few like full band dates and at the moment as of the producer is actually doing the gigs with me, so it's got like a duo vibe to it.

12:18 Speaker 9: Yeah.

12:20 Speaker 10: Well, I always say I am playing on my own. It's not like just the guy in the corner of the acoustic guitar. I'm kind of really loud to be and I will try to include as many people as possible into that vibe, do you know.

12:33 Speaker 9: What I mean?

12:33 Speaker 10: Yeah, Yeah, if anyone's listening, I have a play America at some point, don't worry. So I'm not just that quiet man in the corner.

12:44 Speaker 3: Yeah.

12:44 Speaker 9: I hope you. I hope you come here to play. We gotta we gotta get over here. Absolutely, very very cool, very cool. Do you when you have you done any festivals or or do you plan to do any like that?

12:56 Speaker 13: Or Yeah?

12:59 Speaker 10: Quite a few festivals over the sort of time. We've got a really cool one that's local to where I live, which is like kind of on a beach, okay, which First Light Festival, and I've done that a few years running. I'm not doing it this year unfortunately, but I have done in the past and there's been Like the thing is with the UK. I don't know what it's like in the US, but we have so many independent festivals all over the place. So if you if you don't see me on like a rednand Leeds or a Glastonbury lineup, I'm probably playing like not so blaston Brick or something like that, you know, I.

13:29 Speaker 9: Mean, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, very very cool. Now when you play out, I assume you play, uh, do you do all of you know, twenty something romance which has four tracks on it? I assume do you do all of those songs as well? Because I really like that. I was a listening to that last night. That's really good.

13:45 Speaker 10: Oh nice one. Thank you very much. Yeah, that the EP is sort of a bit more of an acoustice to it, I think, is it? So yeah as well, mate, thank you very much for listening.

13:56 Speaker 14: Yeah.

13:56 Speaker 10: So I play all really all the stuff that's not on Spotify and available where to get you. The only one I don't pay something Romance is the last track if you need me, because it's like a really down stick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the rest of it. Yeah, always in the depth.

14:15 Speaker 9: Oh, very cool, very cool. And do you have any plans to I mean, what in terms of touring are you going to be getting out of the getting out of the UK at all. It's funny the in the first hour I talked with a band Killing Fly from Australia and and you know, they tell me they're going to Japan. It's like, oh wow, that's pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah, do you have any plans to, uh, to get out of there? Obviously, I know you want to come to America at some point, but uh, you got anything on the horizon immediately.

14:45 Speaker 10: I've been to be fair to get to Europe a bit more because like places like Germany and France and places like that really have a cool scene at the moment. Yeah, seem to be supporting like independent up becoming artists. Yeah, So trying to get into in the door over in Europe it's a bit difficult with like recent things that have happened. I don't want to bring it up too much. Oh yeah, yeah, and I'd like to go over to the Island and stuff as well. Yeah, it's all pipeline. It's just sort of trying to get the opportunities really, because I don't think i'd want to go over there and immediately like sort of headline.

15:24 Speaker 10: I'd like to sort of support a band and learn from them and how they do it before I do it on my own. Sure, but yeah, definitely. I was listening to that Australian band actually that you've had on before, and the guitar work in that tune reminded me of the guy who did The White Cliffs of Dover. I think Eric Johnson. Oh okay, I want to bring that up.

15:46 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, Oh they're so good, aren't they? Killing Fly? What a great band. But by and by the way, Rob messaged me he wanted me to make sure I tell people it's Killing Fly f l a W. Not not Killing Floor, because I guess they run into that sometimes where people miss people misunderstand the name. But yeah, yeah, no, they are. They are so good.

16:08 Speaker 8: You know.

16:09 Speaker 9: I did talk to them about influences, and I'm curious about your influencers, like, like, who, uh you know, who who is really influenced you. I have I have to ask, just as an American, I just have to ask this Oasis Is Oasis a big influence on you big time, Okay.

16:23 Speaker 10: Big time. I'm actually fortunate enough to get a ticket to see them on the tour in Manchester in the UK.

16:31 Speaker 9: Nice.

16:32 Speaker 10: Yeah, honestly that's going to be like its be one of those things that's life performing for me. They've they've been a band of listening to since I was a kid, so yeah, then then together is like come true. Yeah, Oasis is one the early days I was really into like through Fighters in Green Bay, so more of like the American scene and had a big impact on me when I was a teenager. But as I've thought growing up and discovered the U case a bit more, I don't know why I was into like the West rock figure more readily available growing up, which is weird in the UK, I guess.

17:09 Speaker 3: Yeah.

17:10 Speaker 10: Yeah, we've got all the bands like Optic Monkeys they're massive obviously, and a band called Catfish at the Bottom Man, I don't know if you've heard of that.

17:18 Speaker 9: I don't know them.

17:19 Speaker 10: No, they're really good. I think they've toured America quite a lot actually, but they're not quite yet. Yeah yeah, but yeah they're a band to look out for if if they get their stuff back together and get back out on the road.

17:32 Speaker 9: Oh, very cool, Very cool. Do you have any shows this weekend? You played anywhere this weekend?

17:37 Speaker 10: No, I've got a Actually I'm literally sat at home at the moment, just watching a bit of golf on the Telly Mate.

17:45 Speaker 9: Oh wow, okay, good time. That's cool. That's cool. Well, we're gonna let you go in a moment, Ryan, and we're going to play I think to end the segment well, because we talked about it so much and I want to hear it again. We're going to play for anyone who miss it tomorrow. Such a great single. Love this track.

31:59 Speaker 18: Yeah.

31:59 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm curious so with with a sound like yours. You know this isn't you know, this isn't simple three chord rock. What you're doing is pretty sophisticated. How is it to replicate that live? What you do in the studio? And I know you've got you've got a couple of big shows coming up that we're going to talk about too, But I'm curious. You know, I'm a studio nerd, but I'm also I played in a lot of bands, so I'm also really curious too about you know, when you're in the studio. Are you able to are you able to replicate live what you do in the studio exactly or do you even worry about it?

32:30 Speaker 9: But some bands, you know, they play live and it's more of a stripped down thing. But I'm curious how you approach that because what you do is is pretty sophisticated. Uh oh, I don't hear voice. Well, oh there you are. I heard a weird beep.

32:47 Speaker 20: Yeah, that was weird. Sorry, I'm not sure what it was. That's what I was saying.

32:50 Speaker 13: It's arguably a little too sophisticated, you know, to a pull of fly. But we do our best, and you know, we have life since we have sampler that we play live, so we try to play live as much as many instruments and as many sounds as we possibly can. We have a drum pad, actually two drum pads. Oh, one is played by the drummer, another one I play occasionally to launch some samples.

33:18 Speaker 14: Oh interesting, and then we switch off with the sincestation me and Andre.

33:23 Speaker 20: So yeah, we call it.

33:24 Speaker 13: We call it the since station. So it's a media keyboard that is connected to main stage. Main stage being the soft software problem. Oh, very different type of sins.

33:34 Speaker 9: Yeah, very interesting. Okay, so you have a unique setup too, very different than.

33:39 Speaker 13: What Yeah, like everybody, everybody's always given us the look when when we're trying to like bring bring all of this stuff up on stage and they're like, I've never seen anything like this before.

33:50 Speaker 9: That's what that was literally going to be my next question. I was curious, like, do you have funny looks from other bands at shows or from or from the sound, Like what's it like to interact with the sound at a show?

34:02 Speaker 13: Well, confured, But most of the sound guys that we came across, most of the front of house engineers, they're super friendly. Yeah, and they're super helpful and they try to accommodate whatever little nuances that we have going on, because like we have you know, not to get too deep into the details of the setup, but we have like medi that needs to be connected, you know, and we're working on the Whole Life light show, and we have a video show that is synced to our set. So it's it's a fairly large scale production for a smaller, independent band like ourselves.

34:43 Speaker 9: Oh that's really cool. No, I admire that and that How long how long did it take to get to a point where, well, let me ask you this, how long has the band been around? And then because I assume it's it's kind of changed and evolved over time. But you've been at this a while, right, because you're pretty well established in the scene.

35:01 Speaker 20: Yeah, so we're definitely.

35:05 Speaker 13: You know, we're like a work in progress constantly, you know. And we started seven years ago. Back then when we first played a few of our live shows, we didn't have a single song recorded in the studio, and for both.

35:21 Speaker 11: Of us, this is the first band, by the way, so oh wow, so learning how it works, what the.

35:27 Speaker 13: Industry is looking like, you know, and we're so deep in that it's safe to say that it's going to be our last band.

35:38 Speaker 20: We're already way too involved in it, understood, right.

35:42 Speaker 13: So we started playing like we didn't have any backing tracks, any samples, any keyboards, you know, So we started like we just drums, guitars, bass, But then we started adding stuff because we went to the studio and realized that, you know, in order to produce a live show that sounds like people would expect it to sound, right like from listening to the record, we need to make it you know a little more complex than just you know, strip down instruments or like whatever, the guitars and bass and like basic kind of a bend setup.

36:16 Speaker 9: Sure, sure, does anything anything ever go wrong with that?

36:20 Speaker 20: All the time, every single time? Thank you for asking men.

36:25 Speaker 14: Yeah, this is a problem solving business in the first place.

36:28 Speaker 9: So that's a that's a really good way of putting it, Sasha, You're right, this is yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely, But that's that's part of the adventure of it too, right, you know, if if.

36:39 Speaker 13: You for sure you know, and like for example, right, like so we just got added to like a show like literally last minute, like and to your show last minute, right, yes, And it's a great problem to have, you know what I mean. So we're like, we're super happy to be here and thank you for having us. And you know, things come up last minute all the time, and it's it's it's our responsibility in our job to adjust and adapt to the you know, ever changing climate and you know all of that.

37:08 Speaker 9: Yeah, one hundred percent percent. We should mention too, and and we'll we'll circle back to it to it at the end of our conversation. But you've got a couple of big shows coming up. I know that on the twentieth. Uh, you're gonna be where are you gonna be at the on the twentieth in Boston? It says supporting the Rasmus, but I'm not sure.

37:24 Speaker 20: Yeah, we're at the the We're at Brighton Music Hall in Alton, mass.

37:28 Speaker 9: Oh, very cool, Okay, awesome, awesome, And.

37:31 Speaker 13: Then if venue is super excited to be there. That's gonna be our first time playing bright Music Hall. But we've been to a couple of shows there and it was always like, you know, it always sounds great, it always looks great. They have nice stage, nice lighting, So we're definitely looking forward to it. Not to mention we get to share the stage with the Rasmus themselves. I don't know if you guys are you know, aware of how big of a deal it is here in the States. But yeah, you know, g enormous, famous, famous band from Finland yep, Yeah, that played arenas and you know, major festivals like crock Emory in Germany and two like sold out crowds of millions of people and and this, and we grew up listening to them and going to their shows in Russia.

38:16 Speaker 13: Yeah, if they or not where we're originally from. So it's such a like a full circle moment for us.

38:22 Speaker 20: It just you know, was so excited for it.

38:25 Speaker 9: Oh that's extremely cool, very very cool. Congratulations and then uh and then on the twenty second, you got a big show in Hampton Hampton, New Hampshire.

38:32 Speaker 20: Yes, twenty second.

38:34 Speaker 13: We don't only get to play one show with the Rasmus, but we were so lucky that, you know, we get added to the second show where they're also supporting the Funeral Portrait, which is another up and coming band, but they're they're doing you know, phenomenally well. They had number one hit on Big Guns on Octane and and and you know millions of streams and millions of fans as well, so.

38:59 Speaker 11: And great deep people kind of like online buddies with them.

39:04 Speaker 13: Yeah, amazing show, amazing stage presence. So like we're looking forward to not only being a part of the show and sharing the stage with them, but we're also going to be in the crowd, like crowking out to their live sets, you know, to their show because like we're genuine fans of what they do. And also on the lineup is going to be Glass Waves, which is another up and coming band that we're excited to share the stage with.

39:26 Speaker 9: I was gonna say Glass Waves are not familiar with I'll have to check them out.

39:30 Speaker 20: Yeah, totally, they're they're amazing.

39:32 Speaker 1: You know.

39:32 Speaker 13: If you think of bands like bad Omens or Bring the Horizon or sleep Token, if you're if you're you know, a fan of those bands, Glass Waves, check those guys out, you know, and also check out the other bands as well.

39:44 Speaker 9: Oh very cool, Very cool. By the way, I also notice you're gonna be heading to Pennsylvania and then Washington, d C. Kind of looking at the tour itinerary that you sent us, so it's good.

39:55 Speaker 20: Yeah, totally. We'll call this we call this little tour, not a tour. Yeah, so because it's not a tour, it's like a little run.

40:03 Speaker 13: But like people, our fans and you know, our supporters have been asking us for the longest time, or where you guys, when are you guys gonna go on tour?

40:10 Speaker 20: Like when they come into like you.

40:12 Speaker 5: Know, my area and anywhere, like yeah, right, Like usually.

40:16 Speaker 13: It's like West Coast and we're like, uh, you know, not sure, like it might take us a little bit, but we're trying to branch out as much as possible. And this is our second run already, and we did for the first one in April, right, and then that we went to Pennsylvania, upstate New York and then.

40:38 Speaker 20: Two shows in Ohio. That was super cool.

40:41 Speaker 13: So we're you know, excited to do it all over again and we're hitting some you know, places that we haven't played before. Yeah, so super excited about it.

40:50 Speaker 9: Outstanding. We should mention too, The Pain that Makes Us Grow. That's your band's full length album that comes out June twentieth, twenty twenty five, and you've got four singles that have been plays on Serious XM's octane channel, Toxic, Overcome, Victim, and Ludacy. We played Toxic here just a few minutes ago. You also sent us a track that I really really love, what a Time and yeah, and that's brand new, correct.

41:17 Speaker 13: We just dropped it literally yesterday and it's already doing phenomenally well on streaming. And we've been listening to your show like for about an hour before we got on, right, So we you know, we're doing the same kind of waterfall thing a lot of bands are doing nowadays, but we're added a little twist to it where we are releasing songs on streaming, but we made the whole album available on CDs and vinyl, I think as soon as the first single was out, right now we're almost done with the release thing.

41:53 Speaker 14: So so people have been listening to this album for like over a year.

41:58 Speaker 13: Whoever wanted to direct directly support us, right, whoever was kind enough to pick up CD or vinyl. We thought, you know, it only makes sense to you know, make those people happy and give them the whole you know, the whole album ahead of everybody else.

42:10 Speaker 9: I think that's a really cool way to do it. I commend that. I think that's really really cool. By the way, this track, yeah, this track, what a time has that been played on the radio at all?

42:20 Speaker 13: We just released it and so it hasn't been played on the radio yet. I know another radio station just added it to rotation the sound too. It So shout out to those guys as well, super thankful for their support and obviously to Octane, you know, supporting our journey as an independent artists.

42:37 Speaker 20: This is you know, next to unheard of. Not many independent bands.

42:42 Speaker 13: Can can say that they've been so lucky to have like four singles in rotation and you know, needless to say, this exposure got us.

42:52 Speaker 20: So in front of a huge audience. Right.

42:54 Speaker 13: So, yeah, we get messages every single day saying I heard you guys here, I heard you guys there. I really love your sound and people are picking up Merged, people are picking up a full album to check it out, you know, and like we're you know, we're super grateful for that.

43:10 Speaker 9: That's outstanding. By the way, what is the meaning of that? I love the title of the upcoming album, the Pain that makes Us grow? Right, what can you talk a little bit about that about the time?

43:23 Speaker 20: Yeah, for sure, absolutely.

43:25 Speaker 13: So this is actually related to the line we have in one of our other singles called Overcome, and the line goes, if we overcome the pain, we will grow.

43:36 Speaker 14: Yeah, that's the line from the chorus.

43:38 Speaker 13: That's the line from the chorus, right. And we had quite a few titles that we were choosing from, but this one kind of stood out, and the graphic designer, Kevin Moore, that that was helping us to make the artwork for the album on the visual side and the branding. He was like, I really like this title, you guys, I think you should go with this, and I already have kind of a vision for the artwork and for you know, the whole album design, and so we listened and you know, never looked back and you were so happy about it.

44:10 Speaker 20: But you know, if you think.

44:12 Speaker 13: About it, if like when we thought of this title being one of the options with that, there's fourteen songs on the album, and each of them is kind of related to a point of.

44:25 Speaker 20: Like, you know, experiencing discomfort or pain.

44:29 Speaker 13: You know, they're they're like, not really that many happy songs on the album as far as from from the from the perspective of all like this guy is blue and you know, the sun is up and the life is beautiful. The life is beautiful, but it's also full of problems, you know. So we want to talk about those problems, and we want to talk and bring up issues that you know are happening in the world every day, you know.

44:56 Speaker 11: So I want to inspire people to never look back and keep doing what you're doing.

45:04 Speaker 13: Growing, Yeah, keep growing, keep overcoming the pain and discomfort, because we believe that's that's when you actually grow.

45:12 Speaker 9: Yeah. Oh, I love it. I love it. I think that's I think that's awesome. And I think I think a lot of people who I assume people who listen to your music who gravitate to what you're doing and have become fans. That that's probably something that really resonates with people. And I think that's awesome.

45:28 Speaker 20: Definitely.

45:28 Speaker 13: Yeah, a lot of people have expressed, you know, their gratitude for us talking about, you know, problems like mental health issues and you know, bring raising awareness about that and talking about anxiety and you know, being slightly paranoid that the world can be over at any moment in time, you know, because you know, we'll live in an interesting time, right, So so this is what what a time is actually about, correctly, this is this This was written about the fear of.

46:08 Speaker 20: Basically nuclear war. Yeah, and that happened after.

46:14 Speaker 13: You know, our motherland, Russia invaded Ukraine a couple of years ago, and we were very concerned about that whole situation and very concerned that you know, the escalation of the problem might let you know, might lead to the end of humanity.

46:28 Speaker 9: Is we know, Yeah, I can. I can really relate too, because I'm you know, I'm older, and I'm a Cold war kid and growing up growing up in the eighties, I was I had an obsession is too strong a word, but I definitely had an unhealthy preoccupation with the threat of that, and so I can no, I can relate. And you know, it's funny too because we had on you might have heard Ryan Redwood our previous guests. He's got that song Tomorrow, which is uh, you know which which kind of reference is that as well? So interesting, it's a it's a day of themes I suppose, uh, but yeah, I think that that's this is something too, because I do want to play that track at the end of our conversation because it's so good and I like all I like all the I like all the songs I listened to.

47:15 Speaker 9: They're they're really really good. But but no, I think it's it's something very relatable for people, and we should.

47:21 Speaker 12: Uh.

47:21 Speaker 9: The time goes the time goes quickly, but I want to make sure we remind people again, especially for people just too. And by the way, I do want to do this again. Uh, this was kind of last minute, but I do want to do this again when we have time to really, oh for sure, because I will be there, yeah, right next to absolutely. I want to learn about your backgrounds and and influences and all that kind of stuff. So but uh, so we will do that in the future for sure. But but I want to make sure we remind people before we run out of time too, because you've got the two big shows uh uh, You've got on the twentieth uh and the twenty second and and these are these are very important shows for you.

47:57 Speaker 9: Obviously, this is absolutely a big deal.

47:59 Speaker 13: Especially one of them is in New Hampshire area, right right in Hampton, New Hampshire. We're playing that Walleys with the Funeral Portrait and the Rasmus and Glass Waves, and this is gonna be an amazing show. And if you're listening and thinking, oh maybe I should come, or but I don't know, like I have a lot of things going on, definitely get there.

48:18 Speaker 20: It's a Thursday night, so Thursday night, it's almost Friday. You're gonna feel so great. You know, it's gonna be a huge party.
