Sondies are having so much fun. Don't be songs Spaying on the sand zombies
and so nice that is beat Zombies. The band is Dad Harrison and we
have a couple of the guys from the band here with us live in studio
this morning on Matt connorton Unleashed, we have uh Axel Baguley and uh I
learned how to a trick to say his name, and of course Andre Dumont
here with us live in studio and tell us about Now we were talking about
it off air, but tell us about the origins of that song beat Zombies.
Oh well, it was like a little one off show that it wasn't
a It was a one off song that we were doing for a show that
we had going on up in Rutland, Vermont that was supposed to be just
a beach theme party. Roland, of course, for their beaches has great
beaches and yeah, and so it was thinking of the idea and Jason the
bass player just, uh, he kind of ran with the idea of let's
do a song that represents being on a beach and came up with beach Zombies
and brought that some tastey licks. I think he challenged us actually to make
a reggae song but in a doom formatpak So, like, we ran through
a lot of different type of reggae feels and just different swings and it just
didn't hit until we just like we locked in a like rock groove that was
kind of kind of reggae, but it's it's out of his like wheel wheelhouse.
So you wanted to challenge himself and us to like to make that type
of idea. So and we did, and like the the response has been
great. Actually, I didn't think that that song would have would have taken
off like it did. Yeah. Yeah, I like harder songs obviously,
like something catchy like that. It really makes you know, people dance and
you get involved. And that's Jason singing, right, that's Jason vocal.
Uh yeah. I had to give him a shot at the mic and be
like, hey, you know you wrote the song, why are you singing?
Because it sounds good and it gives a different voice. It shows the
diversity of the band. Yeah, is that the first time he had done
a lead vocal and Dad Harrison, Yes, I'm well no, no,
no, no. He has a couple oh yeah, okay, there's a
couple of the older tunes. I can't put them together in my head right
now. I think Left March was one of them, right, yes,
where we all had like individual parts, like he had the whole first verse
and then I ended up taking like the bridgey part, and then my brother
ended up taking up the last verse. Okay, and so yeah, it
was definitely like we know that we all can sing, but he was another
chance to kind of like showcase stuff. John sings with me a lot like
my brother, the guitar player, so it's like we have debts where and
with Jason singing also just gives like nice full vocal depth in the songs.
Yeah, I noticed when we when we came to the open house at Terminus,
when you guys did a Terror Grinder, I noticed you and Sean singing
together, and I didn't he's actually your brother. All these years, I
never knew that same of in different Baker. Okay, understood, So that
explains the different last name. I never knew that, and I don't think
you guys look anything alike. But as you said, different Baker, but
uh, yeah, I had no I had no idea. Yeah, no,
it's a it's a really cool thing and just the origins of like,
you know, oh, my brother, like I want to play some music
together with him, and you know, yeah, you know, you think
Dimebag and Vinny Sure, you know. So there's the van Halen brothers,
and it's like there's definitely a cool aspect of like having family in your music
wheelhouse and you kind of know each other and plus your vocal timbers just like
match. So well, yeah, you guys singing together on Terror Grinder is
really good. Uh you're hearing that live, It's really good. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean he also screams too, Yeah he's I can't scream like
that, okay, But like you put it together, it's very harmonic.
How they how they work together. Yeah, because like the influences, if
we want to run down with the influences too, yeah, yeah that because
you know, Isaac Banks is gonna ask as well as what's your favorite matchbox
twenty? So I mean to answer it would be real world over back to
good because back to goods good? But way, what are your influences?
Andre? For what you think? The sound of us? The sound of
of what of d H? Sorry if my voice keeps coming in and out
like your side? Yeah, influence, I mean I go a little bit
more. Always been just a huge fan of typo negative, but I like
the good gothy kind of stuff. So I mean I like Sisters of Mercy
and but also like go into the rum of like you know, corrosion to
conformity and you know, different like aspects of rock. Yeah, that big
feel, you know, I guess that's the best way that I can put
I like the with a little bit of dynamics and emotion in them rather than
just like right hard hit at y'all all the time. Yeah, absolutely,
yeah, wow about you. Axel Mine's more of like the the grunge area.
Yeah, slash Prague, so like Alice in Chains, Sound Garden,
Melvin's kind of like the same same ones we went over before. It's very
like early nineties alternative, like h two thousands Prague to a PC puss it
for all that stuff. So, like I'm a very like alternative type of
person. So there was a lot of I think it was like Caius like
when when I when when I was first getting into the band that, like
Sean, one of Shawn's areas is Caius Queens of the Stone Age and like
rebirthed like the stuff that I haven't listened to in a while, like like
corrosion and conformity, where I'm like, oh, yeah, so it's been
it's been a long time since I've like listened to like really grungy, sludgy
stuff. Yeah, it's like that desert doom stuff. Very welcoming. Yeah.
By the way, Isaac Banks in the chat room, so this is
the question now this time he's asking have you ever listened to the eighties band
The Outfield songs like Your Love, all the Love in the World, I
Don't Need Her, every Time You Cry and Winning It All from the Movie
of the Mighty Ducks soundtrack. I don't think I have your thoughts. They
don't particularly ring a bell. I probably have heard one of the first one
that was mentioned. I feel like I've probably heard it. Well, I
heard it, I would yeah, Well everybody knows that song, your Love.
I don't want I just want to use fun fact. Yes, yes,
When I was a kid and I took guitar lessons, that's the first
song I ever learned on the guitar. That is a great song. Actually,
yeah, I don't mind it because look, you listen to it musically,
it's got all those cool elements. Yes, yeah, yeah, it
is a great song. Absolutely. Melanie, who by the way, is
from Vermont and I'm sure it's quite familiar with the beaches of Rutland, says
I do question the referring to the song I beat zombies. I do question
the use of sunscreen though, because well they're dead. Well, I've always
said though, you're never too old to take care of your skin. You
know, you don't want, you know, skin cancer. Well, yeah,
you know, it probably would help maintain a little bit of flesh still
on you for a while rather than drying out right crisping off and falling apart
exactly exactly, because there what you have left exactly exactly. Yes, I'm
all about it. She also said, this is so fantastic. Everyone knows
zombies love to make sand castles sometimes body castles if they try to climb over
a wall. Yes, exactly. World War was World Wars there freaked me
the hell out back then, because like, up until that point, I
was used to, like, twenty eight days later, zombies you like ants,
And I'm like, oh man, that's kind of freaky. They're running.
Yeah, these ones are like full on sprinting and throwing themselves at walls
at Brad Pitt for like an hour and a half, and I'm like,
I can't deal with this. If this was real life, I would not
make it right. No, No, that's intense, certainly not, certainly
not. And and tell us about because Andre, you had commented on this
software about the album and kind of exploring those different elements with people singing other
than you know, because you're you're primarily the lead singer. But actually when
I first met you guys, before Axel was in the band, you were
the singing drummer. You had a lot of lot going on there at once.
Yeah. Well, it was like, you know, so many things
in my head that I had to try and get out. So I was
like, how do you do it? You just you just have to do
it, And so it put me into that place to just create. You
know. Now with this album, it was a little bit different. It
was more of like understanding that every band member has great talent and also has
really good songwriting abilities, and so I kind of like took that little step
back and let those guys like bring a lot of those ideas to the table.
I mean, there was a couple of things that were like share I
think lyrically, my only input was like in the choruses of Monolith Lord,
and there were just a cool set of lyrics that I had written, a
little thing that I had written down in a notebook. But then when Sean
brought the song to us to be like, hey, listen to this,
I kind of made this song up and like, you know, he had
some lyrics that and I was just like, we can blend both of these
together and like yeah and that and that's how the song ended up coming.
And it was just like also that weird connectiveness of the universe having multiple or
a single idea but it spreads across on multiple planes, and the fact that
my brother was kind of like thinking of the same thing. And that's and
the monolists were popping up all over the place too. At the time.
It was like that whole we just just covered a modelith out here and you
miss remember that, Oh I do remember that. There was like WHATB five
five that ended up popping up just randomly throughout the like a good week.
It was just like every other day, another one and another one. Was
that ever solved? No, and it stopped for a while and they just
found another one recently really overseas. It's weird. Was that was that difficult
for you to kind of let go a little bit it or was it a
relief or you know, to let the other guys in on that process or
what was what was that? Like? I thought about it, and I
mean I could it was a choice because I could be disappointed with it,
or I could look at it as like a relief, just not even to
be a relief, but just let other people have a chance. Yeah,
you know, and and that's how I looked at it and was like,
great things could come out of this, right you know. It's like and
but that's also what creates that that inter connectivity amongst all the members, you
know, because we are we're we're all equal and in this together, so
creating what is dead Harrison. Right, So it's like, yeah, it's
not just my show. So we're we're well past the establishment of just the
first starting and like here's my ideas, and now we're into like a cohesive
group. And so it's like really good to be able to showcase what everybody.
Eventually he'll write a song. He just doesn't know it yet. I
mean that that. Uh, thank you for that, for that, uh
that encouragement. I got nothing lyrically in the brand I was just saying,
but I I just hit things. What what he gave me a chance to
do was to think outside of my own cohesive box of like what what I
what I think drums should be or what I think hard metals should be.
I know, I like keep jumping out the way you You gave me the
choice of like do you want to do this, you want to do that?
Like do you do you want to just stay in this like rock and
roll format or do you want to like learn something? And like it was
a like the first year was was very very hit or missed because like I
play a certain way and he plays a certain way, you know what I
mean? Like yeah, not like he plays better or I play better,
Like we just play two different styles, right, I mean, And it
took us a while to figure out that that we were thinking the exact same
thing, but like we were coming from two different plan playing fields. So
like we he he gave me the opportunity of like morphing of how I could
make a fingerprint with this band instead of just like playing the same stuff.
It's like, here's what I can do with this. So when you joined
the band, did you did you try to learn exactly how Andre played the
songs? And then but over time that kind of morphed a little bit.
Well that's a necessity, right, Like that's an absolute necessity. If you
want a job, then you have to do what the requirements are the general
aspect. So once you have that footing, then you can just muscle memory
your own stuff as you go along, and like there were other things I
was doing, like my own practices and my own projects in my own career
that were teaching me to different stuff. So like I would always learn and
then come back learn and then come back to to hear two make it better.
Like I no offense to myself, but I was trash the first like
six months. Like you guys are very very gracious, because like I must
have been like a timid leaf the first six months, like I really was.
I was like, oh no, oh no, because because Andre,
you play a certain way that requires not like you want to, it requires
like endurance, it requires a technique and precision, and like you need to
know certain things to do certain things, and I off hand did not know
how to do certain like thrash stuff or punk stuff that he's like fluent fluent
with. Yeah, so like I learned a lot of old techniques that I
should have learned in the first place. Not now about that ross bird in
power, like he just plays like in a raw emotion. Yeah, I
definitely puts me in my paces. So it's it's not like it's not like
we as I said, we don't play on the same level. We just
we have a very aggressive way of playing two different two different ways. Yeah,
and even on stage, we can we can swap out and I'll just
go up front with sim percussion and he'll just jump on the drums. So
yeah, do you ever do that? Yeah? Oh okay, I've done
that a couple of times. So it was another thing that I was trying
to do too. And it's nice if you have the stage and let's bring
two drum sets. Yeah, and we've done that and and do a couple
of songs with double drums. Is like, people are just like, what
is that? That's awesome? Yeah, and it sounds so big. Yeah.
Is that hard you? I mean you don't see it often. You
know, once in a while you'll see a dual drummer situation. It's easier,
is it? Yeah, way easier. Yeah, it's it's not no
when when you know the songs and you know the things, and yeah,
as a drummer you are learning to pay attention to the other instruments that are
going on at the same time. But you know, having two drums can
really like lock things in. Yeah, and it allows different stuff to happen
too, because somebody can be carrying the regular rhythm and then the other drummer
can go, oh, I'm going to put in some little polyrhythms. Well,
that's what I'm wondering. Does it when you when you do that,
does it require one of you to kind of lay back and not because you
don't want to be doing fills at the same time, right, or it's
going to get messy, or maybe you do. I don't know. I
mean, I'm not a drummer. I mean, but I'm fascinated by that
dynamic, you know. I think it's a very interesting thing. Yes,
I'm sure that there's times where it can be hit or missed, but I
mean, when you're in the moment, it's just like a drumming circle.
Yeah, yeah, you know, except you have other instruments that are also
going on that just help make that feel even that much. But I mean,
at the same time, you know, you're already playing a song that
you know, right, so it's not like you may be making some stuff
up, but you already have the gist of it that you're gonna just glide
right through it and you both lock in. Yeah, it just happens like
super cool. Yeah, well that's awesome. We should uh, we should
play another track. I what do you think should we play Terror Grinder?
I love it. I love this song. I love here. I think
Terror Grinder would be a great one another like where does this southern gospel rock?
Like it's like what is this? Well? What? Yeah? I
was gonna ask you about, you know, if there's anything we should know
about this before we play it, because you know, I'm curious. Like
I said, it's for me. It's one of my favorites that you guys
have done. I know it Just like what is just the way it happened?
Like Sean brought the lyrics to the table and was just like, hey,
I got this song, and he had some kind of cool rifts and
I was just like, oh, like I just had this spontaneous idea like
let's make it this kind of feel and then switch it up into the chorus
and and that's what it became. And this and this is you guys singing
together for the whole thing, right, Yeah, yeah, no, this
is really good The Terror Grinder. It's just it's a an entity that just
grinds everything into the powdered dust, and it's just it's a terrored thing.
Like you have to look at the album cover what it actually looks like.
It's menacing a beast that just grinds things. Yea, all right, let's
give this a spin. This is really good. This is terror grinder,
this is Dad Harrison and they are with us in studio. Check this out.
Storm the gates and around the city, Lord the chamber, rob your
god WestEd a sleep for a long time the days survived to have some fall
fall head receive as that's with the nasty and happy bread fight but the bestanity
of a flow. Let's tell ride. It's rolling, it's tasteful, blood,
it's real, look though and eyes trailed that it's quick and your victory
you can feel as Let's settle fry of y'all hall kicks. It's wrong now
I'm jaw dons in this battle by bank of blud. It's no shot.
Guys, goes and make journey to see it's clear. Round to the watt
of Thou Silvi the ticket of thos a gold take place, looted grime,
smid lad chair. It came to us about us space it's blindly range had
to around there a game to a human race, looking up the style around
us. It's falling to the sea. This thing you call your lifetime will
sue me. It's just a tree the tail blind to differ. I'd get
it done to the we all the world. This Gada called one thing was
still Rookie said, my chat fine said, I don't, don't, I
don't plas tata comta mya, my dotata, my turn my ta. That
is Sarah Grinder. The band is Dead Harrison and they are with us in
studio. Half of the band is here. Uh we've got Axel Vaguely and
Andre Dumont here with us in the in the studio and great track. You
got to hear that live. If you have not seen Dead Harrison, you
should see them live. And uh that that song is use you guys open
with that a terminus for the open house. Yes, I really like you
always open with that one. That's a strong not usually it's a strong opener.
I think it is a good strong opener. Yeah, it just so
happened that that same day we had band practice, so you probably just had
been a bunch of rehearsals. Oh yeah, that's right. I think I
think you guys even said that during your set. Yeah, yeah, I
think Jason Skulls said something like, yeah, this is like you're you're basically
watching our bit our rehearsal. Welcome to our rehearsal. And it was,
Oh, it's good. It was really good, really good. Now,
so the album is out right, but only digitally, but you're gonna have
physical copies soon. Is that just a little back in the duplication process,
you know? Yeah? Yeah? And where does the name none for all
that's the name of the album, Where where does that come from? Is
that of any significance? Sir? It does kind of to me. It's
a little, uh, a little nod to TYPEO negative because then the lyrics
of the dream is dead. There's a line that is all for one and
none for all ah, And so the more I thought about it, I
was like, how do I give this little nod? And we had the
album before, it wasn't even an album before this. We had like six
songs that we released that weren't that were all singles that were put out.
But I've always had it in my head that there's actually the two parts.
And so those first bunch of singles they never made it out to a CD,
they never made it out for like physical copies, and they're still not
out there. But those are all for none okay, and none for all
is kind of like the part two Ah gotcha. So eventually there's going to
be a double CD set that has like those two things cohesively together plus some
extra stuff on there. Oh. Very cool, very cool. It must
be nice to being able to, like with Terminus, being able to play
there and to you know, because it's it's just I I tell everybody when
we went to the open house, it was like, I think I probably
said this to you in fact when we were talking. It's like walking into
another world walking into that room. It's so cool and walking into my world
now. It's it's such a surprise. You know, who are some of
the bands that you've had there. You've had a bunch of cool bands.
Uh, Whalen Park just played there Park last week. I love Electric I
know you had you had Conduit, right, we had granted there were there
for that, uh already dead and then there was when the dead bolt breaks
Oh yeah yeah from Connecticut. Yeah. Yeah, That's the thing is like
just there's so many, so many good bands, and it's it's awesome to
be able to like do some things that obviously being in the scene, like
and watching the state of our vans just go away, you know, but
it's trying to reinstill that element of like actually going to a place to enjoy
music, right, you know, Nashua really needed that, right absolutely,
it still does. Yeah. Yeah, I was surprised at how you know,
because you know, there's quite a few places to play around here,
but Nashua. Yeah, it was like, there's really not that many places
to play original music. So it's it's wonderful to have that, to have
terminus. Yeah, unless you're a cover band then you can go well yeah
of course. Yeah, but if you're doing original music like you're doing now,
that's that's great. Oh we should mention too now, So Terror Grinder,
was you recorded that with Eric Sodder? Yeah? Yeah, Blackhart was
the whole album done done there or it was it was okay, Yeah,
we had him on the show. I think it was a couple of months
ago now and his name comes up all the time. Of course, I
Eric Sotter from Black Heart. He was a very busy man. Absolutely,
absolutely, He's one of the best in the business hands down, at least
in the New England sector. He is one of the most prolific, if
not like very masterful of his craft audio engineer and producer at least out here.
Yeah, very highly respected. Now you worked with him before, none
for all? Or is this the first thing that dead? He was the
first time working with him. Okay, So like the other stuff was,
you know, the first album was done with my brother's friend who had just
completed you know, audio engineering school. So we were his like first thing
that he was just trying to do out of school. So it was,
you know, no cost or anything like that. It was just like we're
gonna do a bunch of stuff and we came up with an album. It
sounds okay, and then just ended up making more connections. I ended up
playing, uh, filling in bass for another band, Hunter and the drummer
Connor isn't excellent has an excellent ear for recording. Yeah, we've had that
a long time ago. We have We've had them on the show. Yeah.
Yeah. And now he's in No More Blues Tomorrow that's his new project.
Okay, but he's got a great ear. Yeah, he recorded like
four songs for us. And then our friend Joel simkis from Tough's university radio
station. Oh, he's their audio engineer. Was that is that w MFO?
Yes, okay, yep and uh and so he recorded another two songs
I believe, okay, and those were the latest two singles before this one
here. Yeah, Nameless Dream being one of them. Yeah, Nameless Dream
and I'm trying to think of what I pay to my my brain is just
like there's too much. Yeah, it'll it'll come to me. It'll come
to you when you're not thinking about it. Yeah, but that's one of
them. Thirty minutes down the road. When you started recording with Eric at
Blackheart, was the intention to do a full album from the beginning or Okay,
we definitely like had the material at that point. Yeah, it was
good to also be able to like put that focused energy and really work on
making something good and solid. I mean there's there's a moments where you're just
like, oh, I want to put this in, and I want to
put this in, and I want to put this in, but it's a
long process. Yeah. So yeah, it was just let's get it focused,
let's get it done, and having somebody that kind of understands the music
genre that you're kind of in, when like what do you put us in
as a genre You can't really put us in as a genre. We're weird
like that. Yeah, we have a sound, but we're also a little
bit everywhere right right, you know. And so yeah, just going into
studio there was just let's focus and get it done and make something really cool
and good. Yeah. Yeah. How long ago did this come out digitally?
How long ago? It hasn't been that long. No, it's it
was released last month. Yeah, okay, we've actually been done with the
recording since last October. Okay. It's just the process of it's the process
of going through getting the right mixes, getting and then mastering and then you
know, and on top of that, I was holding it off from the
world for a little while while I was finishing up the artwork for the album.
Oh okay, yeah, I uh, I want to look at so
have your have your band camp page open? Yeah? Do you always do
the artwork? Dude? Do you do all the covers for Dead Harrison and
all the Do you do that? I do? Actually? Yeah, now
that I think about it, Yeah, No, it's really striking. Yeah,
And I mean that's it. They are their own things. I was
challenged a little bit this time, you know, because I had made some
minor mistakes in the first album, and like didn't know anything about rasterizing print
and all this other stuff. So I ended up sending it off and like
in the CD the print was kind of hard to read things like that,
and so you know, but that was like twelve years ago, and then
I was like starting to work on this, but also gaining a little bit
more knowledge and how to do everything, and at the same time honing my
graphic designing skills a little bit because I like to do all of our flyers
and stuff like that too. So yeah, it was even my brother was
like, hey, let's, you know, get an actual graphics person to
put all the stuff together, get a designer together, and just like when
you realize and understand the cost of this, yeah, it's a different story.
I'm like, trust me, brother, I have this. Yeah,
you know, I've I've gained so much knowledge and like so and even the
when I submitted all the artwork for it to get duplicated, even the the
guy over there was just like, your art that artwork is amazing. It's
going to look so good in this album. Oh that's cool. It's good
to get that that kind of validation, you know, because obviously you know,
he probably doesn't say that to a lot of people. You know,
that's really good when you're putting out like hundreds of thousands of CDs over the
course of your career. Yeah, yeah, no, that's really cool.
That's awesome. That's awesome. Well we should uh, I want to make
sure we have time to get this last track. And but what should people
know about Dad Harrison? How to find you guys online? And what the
next show is? The show at Terminus in June? Is that the next
show you have? The next live show? Yep? Okay, So I
at uh one Street in Nashua. It's our our little home base, and
we've decided to like kick it up a notch and start presenting other bands and
other talent. And it's like, no, you come to see a show
there, you're gonna get a good show, you're gonna get good sound,
you're gonna every it. Just the feedback from everybody has always just been amazing.
Oh yeah. So being a person that you know, as a musician,
I know what I kind of would like at a show, and to
give those other musicians the same thing, it makes such a huge difference.
And you get that energy and you get that feeling and emotion out of the
music too. Absolutely get Dead Harrison dot com. Dead Harrison dot Com.
We have website, Facebook, Instagram. I don't usually use the instas and
stuff like that, but yeah, we're all out there online. You can
easily search it in any shirt bar and it'll probably come up at this point.
Yeah, you guys are you guys are very googleable? As I like
to say, yes, uh uh. Find the music Spotify, YouTube,
the iTunes, everywhere, everywhere with it everywhere it's either Dead Harrison or Dead
Harrison Official minus anywhere. Yeah, excellent, excellent. So we're gonna close
with this track, Hurricane Hell. Anything we should know about this? What
is it? I mean? Is is this expressing a concern about the upcoming
hurricane that this is my brother going down on vacation down to Florida and being
witness of what a hurricane did down there. What hurricane I can't remember.
I think it was night after saying the after effects of either Sandy or Katrina,
one of the it was. It was a major where one of the
major recent ones in the past few years. Okay, so okay, yeah,
there was like still that aftermath stuff and he had went down there recently
after it and like saw that and it kind of inspired him to write a
song about it. Okay, so no, that makes sense. There's a
Sean song. Yeah, oh excellent. Does he sing on this one too?
Yep? So he wrote the lyrics and he sings this one. I
sing this one you sing. He also is like backup vocals like gotcha another
good one with some nice harmonies in there. Yeah, yeah, no,
you guys sound great when you sing together. Absolutely all right, so we
will we'll conclude the segment with this. Coming up third hour, we have
Nancy Mannette and also in between we're gonna have Eric Pilter's classic film review.
