Yeah, glad you're here. Glad you're here. Let's see, I'm gonna kind of adjust the mics as we go, but let's start in the corner here and we'll go around the room. And if you can tell us who you are and what you do in the band. Justin I played guitar, sometimes leads, sometimes rhythm. I also songwright. All right, my name's that the beat Man.

I played drums for these crazy guys. Okay, well, I play guitar both leading rhythm. All right, welcome. I am Brendan. I am holding it down on the bass for these guys. All right, and you're holding a microphone. You've got the one, you've got the one handheld. I wear many hats. There you go, and uh, let's see and wow, your mic is really low and I don't know, oh you know what? Go yeah, now I'm closer to the mic. My name is still Dakota next to the vocals. Yeah, well that mic is low. I don't know what.

Can you just tap that with your finger?

Yeah? Yeah, it's not usually like that. I don't know why. We're not used to him being that quiet? Yeah. Can you hold him down with your mic? I'll switch him up. We can share one, I think. Uh, go and talk talk a little more. I'll talk continuously if you want me to. Have got a lot of things. Yeah, you could possibly talk about. You just got to talk right into it. That's fine. Yeah, I just got to be direct. There. You sing us a little song? There you go. Oo you want to sing us a song? You don't have to no song.

You guys are playing tonight at Terminus and Nashua. Is that correct? Yes, sir, absolutely, very good, very good. Now, how did well? Actually, let's start here. Where are you guys from? Because I know you're not you're not local to this area. We would claim to fame from western mass in general. We're from like a whobunk town out in the woods. I Brendan am from southern New Hampshire, so this is kind of my backyard. Oh okay, yeah, I'll name drop. Well, let's are from the town Athol, Massachusetts.

If anyone's ever heard of it, probably not. Oh yeah we had uh, we had somebody else on the show from Uh. I can't remember who a long time ago from that same town. I wish I could remember the name of the band. Probably know them. Yeah, you probably do, like a three piece punk band, but from that area. So uh do you guys? Have you played a Terminus before? Will this be your first time? No, this is our first time to going there. I'm pretty excited. Well, everything sounds really weird. It's driving me nuts.

This is unusual. Let me let me just try something else here. Well, weird sounds help if we know the mics just sounds strange to me. It's just you, Maddie, No, it's definitely not just me. Let me see something here. That's that might be about I don't know, check it. Yeah, but no turnouts. The first time playing at God, first time playing at Terminus, I'm pretty sure. What do they opened like last last November? Right? Well, what's we're excited to be a part of. It's kind of new. Yeah, yeah, very good.

Oh, I'm so glad we like to chip in to be new. So glad I fixed that. That was driving me nuts. Okay, now we can relax and have a real conversation. Good, good, Good. Do you guys play out a lot? Do you do a lot of shows? I would say we do enough. Definitely the busy season right about now? Yeah, yeah, we probably hibernate in the winter a little bit and then you know, summer comes and we ice off. Yeah. And how do you describe your sound because I hear a lot of different influences in there. Colectic.

Yeah, that's actually a word that I'm thinking from a few other people. I like to try to coin the term bathroom funk. You know, it's kind of gritty, it's dirty, it's still funky. It's got something you can kind of move your pants to, right, you know, it's that song you hear in between that's in the bathroom. You're not always sure what it is what it got you moving? Right? That is a bathroom funk is not a genre that I've heard of before. I like it, that's the goal. Yeah, how do the rest of you guys feel about that label?

Are you comfortable with? I hate the label, but I don't I Don'm not a decision maker here, So you don't call the bathroom funk no, I mean I have tiptoe around it. I just it was gonna like indie all funk, punk, progressive, and so it's a bathroom part. That's the issue for you. It's not the funk, it's just the bathroom. Well, the combination and bathroom. It's not a good combination where right, bathrooms are dirty? Right? Yeah. We struggled to term it a little bit because I think there's not really a genre that you can't hear in our music.

Yeah, I mean you might say country or bluegrass, but I know that that influence is there. You know it's there for me. So yeah, Yeah, how long have you guys been around? Have you guys? This has bad been around a while? Or yeah, going on five in November? I think, Okay, has it always been this lineup, No, no for a couple of years. Justin and I have been making music together for since like twenty and thirteen. We've had a few different projects. This specific group of people I think is two or three years.

Okay, yeah. The first time we played together was in like summer jam camp out in Maine in like twenty twenty two. Yep, that's right when I joined the band. So I'm the most recent to the band. Okay, Okay, cool, we should play another track. We played standard issue? Do you got I don't know if you guys have a single that you're pushing or if you sent me this album exactly. The music you have is actually incomplete. We uh, oh, we have yet to master it. This is a project we've working on for a long time.

Okay, so we just sent you kind of like the rough cuts, so the best we got going on, which we're cool with. No, they sound they sound good the mixed, so we're actually pushing the whole album. Okay, you're the first person we've trusted with this. Oh well, we're very many people, but pretty much nobody's heard it really. Oh that's awesome, all right, Uh, what what should we play next? Do you have a do you have a pick or any anything anything specific that. I mean, we we'll probably have time to play them all, but let's do cards poetry.

I'm just gonna say Card's poetry, okay. And I just got to make sure I grabbed the I. I made a radio edit of that one. That was the only that was the only one we had to do that with, which was nice. But uh no, I listened to it and it's it's a really it's really good. So what should we know about this? Uh? Is there a I felt like there was a story behind the song when I was listening to it. It was just the jam. Actually. I think we showed up at practice and and we kept it that. I'm pretty sure with that one.

Okay, Yeah, we actually a lot of our songs do have a story, and this is the one to not that figures. It sounds good, though, Why is it called Picard's poetry? Is there a meeting behind the night? Absolutely nonsense? Some call it nonsense, some call it poetry. All right, cool, Well, let's take a listen to this and then we'll talk with these guys some more. We have Whyland Park here with us live in studio. Check this out. This is called the cards. Poetry is how we roll shouting the mind with the shot too far.

Now went the stars and the Roman villains reach more. The ceiling b the guy was a really bad ceiling. It's a catch bee a blasphemy. Would you add to me? Now I'm out here sitting on my at sea, you're still chilling.

I got a breastwate that trips with valor, trying to let my love and take a nice long shower. Lost my love, so I lost my power. It looks by to call again in an hour. Love got quickation, I got quicker love got me dead. And the filmy in the shirts you hat the story of a quitter story squipt sure now he dot the ribs and more. She's not what you're told me, what you shouldn't turn like the storm moods. All right, all right? That is that is called Picard's poetry. That is Wayland Park. Yeah, yeah, great song, great song.

We've got the guys, We've got the whole band here with us, live in studio, and uh where do you guys record? What's the recording process like for you? Uh? So, I'm the bass player, Brendan, and my father has always been a recording and near he's done it professionally and or as a hobby as I've grown up, Like he used to co own a recording studio up in Maine, and that's a good dad to grow up with. Huh. Yeah. Yeah, so he was like basically wrapping that project up by the time I was born in nineteen eighty nine.

But he's always had a recording rig and microphones and he collects microphones. Yea. Anyway, he's pieced together a really professional studio now in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Shut out Sean Carton. Yeah, Sean Carton, that's my father, and we call it Mansion Studios. Yeah. So yeah, we are open to uh, we're looking to do some recording work. If somebody's looking to be recorded, you can reach out to the band and about it. Excellent, excellent if you like what you're hearing. Yeah, yeah, totally not the reason we had him in our band, by the way, Yeah,

we didn't even know about it. The reason we kept him in the band. Oh okay, okay, Well it's a nice surprise, right when you find that. I was like, oh okay, I'll leverage whatever I can to stay. Yeah. No, that's that's awesome, and so these are not so I think we're kind of talking partly off air. These have not been released yet. You're still correct. Do you have any kind of an ETA on when they're going to be out or I you know, I was really hoping you weren't going to ask that question. However inevitable it would be.

Yes, We're gonna really go in hard here and say that the album Good Gravy will be released before one of our upcoming fat music festivals, which is trout Stock. Okay, I believe what is that August? I think it's the end of July. The end of July, Oh, the twenty fourth. I believe the weekend of the twenty fourth. Yeah, I'm shout out clearly on trout You guys rock. Thank you boys are on the road listening to us right now. Have a great show this week? Oh excellent, excellent? Hey where does the name come from?

This? Actually we were talking about you guys last night on a different show than I do. I'm a co host on a show called Retrospectrum Radio and talking about I was plugging today's show and the host Polly c He asked me who I had on and I mentioned you guys, and I did not realize that. I guess Whaleam Park is an old amusement park. Is that where the name comes from? Yeah, Whalem Park was an amusement park that was actually opened for like one hundred and eight years out. They opened in like eighteen ninety five, I think, and they closed in like two eight or twenty ten, okay, and they were at Lunibar.

There are a bunch of condominiums. Now it's quite sad. Oh okay, Yeah, somebody in the chat room was saying that, yeah it's an apartments now. Yeah, they're not even good ones. Yeah. I got a cup with me and my sister on a ride on it. Oh, no kidding. So why choose that for the name? Do you guys have just good memories of that place or why draw the name from that? Yeah? It was early on. I guess we were just looking for something that would be like nostalgic to central Massachusetts where we're from.

Yeah. Yeah, it was just where we're from, kind of something that like whenever we heard it before before it was a band named right, like, oh shit, remember that that place is amazing. Excuse that French. We're on a we're on a delay. I caught it. You're amazing, thank you, But but yeah, that that was really it is. It was just kind of nostalgic to us. I guess we wanted to label our music with it. Yeah. Yeah, Spelfie uh in the chat room said something about the the label bathroom bath bathroom funk.

What did she say? Something about a reminder of a dirty bathtub? Exactly what we're going. We love thank you, Shelfy. And she also said we love Leon Trout. Oh yeah, she said, yeah, it's it's condos now, yeah, where that used to be. Do you guys, uh? Do you guys have a lot of songs that you haven't recorded or because obviously you've been together for a while, you said, what five years, you must have a lot. I would, I would. I think I would say, like our catalog is probably like close to like a thirty to like thirty five song catalog.

Wow, some of which we have just decided to part ways with entirely. Some of which, like we wrote, we used to have keyboardists and just different dynamics and different organized like stuff. Yeah, it's just not we're gonna move on from all the We probably we probably have eleven recorded that we keep, and then there's probably another fifteen or so that we do play out sometimes or are in like work in progress. Yeah, you know. Yeah, so we do have like another probably another albums worth the record, but we might split that up between an EP and an album over the next year or two.

Okay, at least my internal plan. Probably have another solid five to ten in the works. We've been writing a lot of music together, and yeah, definitely i'd say five to ten ideas started that like a factor pretty exciting sometimes just sit down and pump out like three or four in a day for a week. Is it is it hard to write us at list with all that that music, or do you guys have kind of a standard batch of songs that you do every show? Or how does that work? Because you've got a lot of two so like, actually, one of the that's kind of one of the cool things about having the eclectic like sound is we usually kind of based it off of the bands we're playing with, you know, so if they're heavier, we'll go a little heavier, lightier, funkier, whatever.

Yeah, you know, And a lot of the time it's like we know we're gonna start or close with this and then he just tells us what the room's feeling, right, right?

How come he gets aside? You don't, I'll decide to got but yeah, d code is easily better with people the rest of us. Really, Yeah, bring big front man energy. Yeah yeah, there you go. There you go cool? Cool? Do you guys, do you find that because your sound is kind of eclectic that you you have a lot of does that open up a lot of options as far as you can play with massively? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah. Yeah we'd probably put in the least amount of work and get handed the most opportunities. Really yeah, yeah, thank you everybody that being one of them.

Yeah, I think it's I think it benefits us to be so well rounded, both like with musicianship and outside. I was like, yeah, people in general, Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. What's is is there are there any particular bands that you kind of team up with as far as shows that you play a lot of shows with. I know from my own experience sometimes that happens sort of organically. You just one more shout out to Leon trou Oh there you go, swim in there so hard. Yeah, you play a lot of shows with them? Any chance we get they're awesome.

There's a bunch of bands that like I like a lot and wouldn't play with anytime. Yeah. Another New Hampshire band on the tri Combs there, we've had them on the show. Yep, they're great if you're in spealthy circle. I'm sure you guys have heard like Dog Eate Dog. Maybe Cosmic Blossom, Oh, Cosmic Blossom, Yeah, oh I love those fans. Yeah, any time of band like that wants. Yeah. We've had Fredo from Cosmic Blossom on the show a bunch of times with various projects, you know, because he's he's always got a bunch of stuff.

Every group that any of them starts as awesome. Earth Mark was great, Yeah anything, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Well let's uh, let's play another track? What should we uh? What should we go with next? You guys got out the middle? Believe that reference? How about? Yeah? Sure, let me look at what we've got here. I don't know if I remember that one. Like one of our one of our hats that we don't wear is remembering remembering your song. Yeah. Uh, we've got your Mom's, uh, Mecca, Mecca and Ralph the three.

We haven't played your Mom's Yeah, long version is your mom's underwear? There? Oh my, there a story we wrote nobody else somebody else wanted to name. It's extremely profound, so spite. We did the opposite it it was. You said, well, yeah, well, well it's all relative when it comes to spite. You know, one man's spite is another is another man's non spite. Your mom's underwear out of spite for the profound. All right, that's an interesting interest. Well, because you could, you know, you could call it your moms and then in parentheses underwear out of spite.

So let's do that. Let's change it live on the air. That's what we're gonna do. It will be your moms and in parentheses. Agreed, Why don't we call it your mom's under here? No no, no, we're sick, we're alive on air. Oh so then people say underwear. I get it, I get it. No, yeah, but no, that's that's well that there's a bare Naked Ladies song where they do that. Great. No, you definitely can't. Yeah, now you can't. Well, but they're Canadians, so it doesn't count. Oh that's true. Yeah, I'm Canadian.

Counts just metrically. Oh,

if there's a Canadian in the band. Yeah, I think there. Yeah, we didn't. Actually we weren't aware he was gonna. You know now that you know when you have a connection, you're yet, you're done, you all you said it on there, But he's Canadian, Dakota set. It counts just in centimeters. Ah, I see that's for the other show. That makes sense. All right, all right, let's give this a listen. This is Whalen's Whalem Park. Get that a lot? You get that a lot? Do you really wait? I think I think I started to say Whalen like I was gonna say Won Jennings or something.

Yeah, that's also very different. No, Whalem Park. And this is called your Mom's Wow taking rocks in falling the snake sor really wish I could make the follies at them a little elm to bain the game more. They go display this boy language in Monday, so said hellow wanted me to let so say

bad. Want me to get the burning do and the little fills are running me? Di have the Selma has. It's just a junny line, not words. If I have the breathing, maybe I can today is the way that thing I'll take. So said hello, I want to let me do

So said hello, I want that any say not a stand times it is so good. That is your mom's and potentially a bunch of stuff in parentheses from Whalem Park. Whalem Park is here with us in studio on this Saturday morning. Great track. No what I what I started to say about, you know, because I'm a bass player, so I you know, I listen. I mean, I listen to everything, but I listen to the bass and there's a I don't know how else to describe it, but I'm I'm I like bass players who are propulsive in their playing, like your bassline in that and the other songs too.

But it's really evident in that it kind of propels the song along. It's not just there it it's like it's what's driving the song forward. Does that make sense? Yeah? Absolutely, it's yeah, it's well you said it, it's very driving. Yeah. And I guess I'm reminded of something Dakota said to me when I joined this band, which I think, as the new guy, maybe you tend to, you know, try to fit in more than be showy or be loud or anything like that. And I think the first or second practice, Dakota looked at me and said, we want you to really play that thing.

Yeah, yeah, that in this band. Okay, yeah, so yeah, I I don't hesitate, you know, so right, So there was no pressure on you to try to learn what the previous bass player did or anything like that. It was more just you know, do you know, just kind of go for it and put your own you know, probably yeah, free rings. Yeah. Yeah, there's only pressure to make it good. There's only pressure to make it good. Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. That makes sense if you are just joining us. We do have Whale and Park here with us in studio, and for for people who are just joining us, we should make sure we mentioned the show again tonight you're going to be a Terminus and Nashua.

That's right, eight pm. Hope to see everyone out there. And uh, who else is on the show with you? We got Greenwood Fire, I believe, And who's going is it? Oh? No, I got a check now. I feel like I know it's in the spellfy Hammas in the chat room. I know she put it in there, but I got the oh yeah, Greenwood Fire and uh Sunset Electric like solar electric. Yeah, well better, we've we've had a Sunset Electric on the show too. Fantastic fantastic band. I was listening to them both last night and they both sounded pretty cool.

Yeah. Oh and hot dogs at four that's all we're looking for, baby? What what brand? Anybody know what brand? So? Yeah, I heard you guys talking about hot dogs earlier. Huge hot dog guys out here, at least me. I'm I'm speaking for everybody for sure that we love hot dogs. Get us to Manchester eleven am on a Saturday. Yeah, hot dogs. So it's about the hot dogs, all about that. Yeah, we're not talking them like six dollars ballpark bonus bags, you know, right, We're talking like natural caseings, all angles, beef, right, the real deal.

We're hot dog connoisseurs. Sure, sure, I hope, I hope though we don't have a misunderstanding. We don't have any hot dogs here for you guys. You know, I wasn't expecting healthy. Okay, good because Helfi's got the hut. Okay, because because you mentioned, you know, to get to Manchester on a Saturday at eleven am, I'm thinking, oh god, I hope they don't think we have hot dogs because we have no hot dogs. Wait, there's no hot dogs. We have no hot dogs here. We're gonna have to pause this till we talk to Spealthy.

Now I have to ask you, though, since you guys, you know you like the hot dogs, are you picky about them? Because I rarely eat hot dogs, but I'm very picky about them. I'll eat them grilled or and seemed as okay. Fried is okay, even though it's terrible for you. But I personally think that eating a microwave hot dog is one of the most discussing things a human being can do. And yet I know people who think, oh, no, microwave hot dog is fine. I think a microwave hot dog is absolutely disgusting. I also don't like them boil.

I don't like to say that he won't let me boil. The microwave was my first food version, actually, a microwave hot dog. What do you mean it? It tastes like radioactive? But do you like that or are you okay? Good? Good? Because some people might like that microwave foods, so I have no problems like awave the sucker right away. Yeah we're good. Yeah, microwave hot dog is it's just because if you watch it in the microwave like it, things happen to it. The that started to swell, it's lesions. You don't eat things it doesn't look healthy exactly.

You never seen it in a show, but I know that you don't eat things with lesions, right, agreed, agreed? Yeah, I mean that's just, uh, you know, if you're if you're watching it cook and you're watching disturbing things happening to it, it's not something you should eat. So no, picky, is what you were saying. No, I mean I treat hot dogs like I treat milk. All right, I'll take in any way it comes right. I just prefer uh, and I'm over another. I'm basically opposite. I'm all talking. When it comes to hot dog, I probably won't eat any.

I also don't drink milk. I don't like I'm here to eat twice as many hot dogs. Yeah, yeah, I don't like. How do you guys feel about them boiled? Because I don't like that either, because last case scenario, man, because the problem there is so so something beads to them. When they're boiled. They get like misshaping a little bit. They become like almost squiggly or something. Yeah, it bothers me though, I don't like it. It gets a similar thing to the microwave where it starts blowing up and getting weird.

Yeah the ends, but the microwave is far worse. So I mean that's just like that's disturbing microwaves. The microwave boil hybrid child, which is the steamer steam hot dog is a different thing. Steamed is okay. I don't know about steamed is okay. I have to see how they have it boiled. Oh you gonna steam the bun too. I mean you can't be wet. You know we're not going well, it's got a wet bun is the worst gross You guys, you guys, You guys like hot dogs and macana though right likely with ketchup. Okay, I raised I'm on the ketchup part, but I'm not gonna hate you for it.

I like that, you know, I put ketchup in my mac and cheese. Yeah, I don't understand it, but I think I'm not a lot of people who do it, but I do catch up on everything people do it. Do you like ketchup on eggs? Oh? Yes, yeah, some people do not not fried scrambled fried eggs hole just one fork. I don't do no, I don't like breaking the yolk with my teeth. Now, according to uh Spelthy, they are going to be grilled. Apparently, you guys are What would what would you do if you got there? And and she I want to see an angry person?

No, no, but what if what if you got there and there was she had a microwave and she was putting, what would what would you what would you even do? And that's the only way you can have a microwave, not even cold. I could start on the engine she's got, she's got a generator stuff pick up like four microwave. I would because, I mean, because you know, you don't want to be rude and not take the hot dog at that point. But you don't know. You'd have to. You'd have to have an excuse, right, like I just ate sorry, Yeah, I just say I can't microwave hot dog.

Yeah, I'd go right to social media hot dog party. Turns out that's a microwave hot dog party. Yeah, Yeah, you'd have to, right, you'd have to. You're gonna go to the Three Huggers and make it about the environment. She bought one hundred and forty four hot dogs. That will do I think, yeah yeah, light work, light workunnel. So in other words, you better get to the show early, but there will be no hot dogs. Last dog show, get there. See that's a good way though, because I used to promote a lot of shows, it never occurred to me that's a good way to get make sure bands are there plenty early for load in.

You give them hot dogs. That ever occurred to me is that? And it doesn't get them drunk right exactly, and you put food in their stomach before yeah wow, oh yeah, so double right, here we go. So it's like a psychological trick. That's smart, that's smart. Yeah, yeah, that's a very good idea. Well, let's let's play another track.
