4:52 Speaker 15: am cold lead singer.

4:54 Speaker 9: And yeah, it's about it.

4:55 Speaker 4: It play a little tamburine. That's about it.

4:57 Speaker 13: Okay, okay, excellent.

4:58 Speaker 1: And you.

4:59 Speaker 12: My name is Josh. I play guitar, and I also sing.

5:03 Speaker 12: I played guitar worse than Sean. I sing worse than Victoria.

5:07 Speaker 12: I also love that Sean went first because he's the

5:10 Speaker 12: shyest member. Oh no kidding, it's exciting.

5:12 Speaker 13: Yeah, throw deep end, nothing wrong with that.

5:17 Speaker 11: So what now?

5:17 Speaker 13: So you're on a big national tour, right you've been?

5:20 Speaker 13: Uh it looks like you play a lot of shows

5:22 Speaker 13: from what I saw online.

5:23 Speaker 12: You know, we give that impression. No, this is just

5:28 Speaker 12: a weekend thing, man.

5:29 Speaker 13: Oh oh yeah.

5:30 Speaker 12: Yeah. We all have full time jobs and families, so

5:32 Speaker 12: like on the weekends sometimes we get real squirrely and

5:35 Speaker 12: we're like, let's drive as far as possible. Oh okay, okay,

5:38 Speaker 12: And that's what we did this weekend. We uh, yesterday

5:41 Speaker 12: we played in Boston, and tonight we're playing in western

5:44 Speaker 12: Massachusetts in Westfield.

5:46 Speaker 13: Okay, excellent, excellent. Yeah, Because I was looking at at

5:49 Speaker 13: your stuff online, it looks like you've like, how how

5:51 Speaker 13: far have you gone with this as far as shows, Like,

5:53 Speaker 13: how far have you traveled?

5:55 Speaker 11: I think the farthest is Nashville?

5:56 Speaker 13: Yeah, nice, Okay, sure, which is.

5:59 Speaker 11: A ton of fun.

6:00 Speaker 13: Yeah.

6:00 Speaker 11: Yeah.

6:01 Speaker 13: It's funny because people have misconceptions about Nashville. They think it's,

6:04 Speaker 13: you know, like it's all just country music and cowboy

6:06 Speaker 13: boots and everything. But obviously, I mean, you know, Jersey

6:09 Speaker 13: Calling played there, so there's there's a market for a

6:11 Speaker 13: lot of different kinds of stuff overall.

6:13 Speaker 11: It's just it's a music city.

6:14 Speaker 13: Yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah, we played.

6:17 Speaker 12: We played with some pretty pretty red punk bands down there,

6:19 Speaker 12: Graveyard Kids, and uh, oh my god, why did I

6:24 Speaker 12: why did I put myself out there living living with Okay, Yeah, yeah,

6:32 Speaker 12: there we go, We got there.

6:34 Speaker 13: Yeah yeah. How long has this band existed? How long

6:37 Speaker 13: has Jersey Calling been around?

6:39 Speaker 12: That's a complicated question, Matt.

6:41 Speaker 13: We have we have we have time.

6:43 Speaker 12: We have time, all right. So so the short, the

6:47 Speaker 12: shortest answer I can give is that, like we started

6:49 Speaker 12: when we were like, I don't know, nineteen or twenty

6:52 Speaker 12: back in two thousand and two, okay, we played as

6:55 Speaker 12: a band. We we played pretty much locally exclusively, okay,

7:00 Speaker 12: for like three years. And then after that we like

7:03 Speaker 12: kind of, you know, adult life got in the way.

7:06 Speaker 12: We all started like focusing on getting a meaningful job, starting,

7:12 Speaker 12: starting a family and all that stuff. And then in

7:18 Speaker 12: twenty twenty, when the pandemic hit, I wrote a bunch

7:21 Speaker 12: of new songs and I called up Sean and Randy,

7:24 Speaker 12: and Randy's our bass player, he's not with us today,

7:28 Speaker 12: and they said that they wanted to play them like

7:31 Speaker 12: they would be down to record them with me. And

7:34 Speaker 12: right around that same time, I met Victoria here and

7:37 Speaker 12: we started dating, and I thought I would try to

7:40 Speaker 12: impress her with my singing and guitar playing, and then

7:44 Speaker 12: I heard her singing, and I was like, ah, I

7:49 Speaker 12: have completely overestimated my ability.

7:52 Speaker 13: Oh no, oh that's funny.

7:53 Speaker 11: Yeah.

7:55 Speaker 15: I was excited for you to come over, and then

7:56 Speaker 15: when you brought your guitar, I'm like, cool, we'll both

7:58 Speaker 15: sing together.

7:59 Speaker 4: I heard it.

7:59 Speaker 15: He knew because I watched you on Facebook, because like you,

8:02 Speaker 15: he had like this live concert series like he was

8:05 Speaker 15: doing for twenty twenty.

8:06 Speaker 4: So you did that, So I knew you.

8:08 Speaker 12: You knew you were better.

8:09 Speaker 4: No, well, I knew you could, and so I was excited.

8:13 Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, let's hang out and yeah. So the

8:15 Speaker 4: rest is history, man.

8:17 Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, yeah, so well yeah, since twenty twenty, we've

8:19 Speaker 12: been playing pretty pretty much NonStop.

8:21 Speaker 13: Okay.

8:22 Speaker 12: In twenty twenty three was when our newest member, John,

8:26 Speaker 12: our drummer, came on and he and Randy are together

8:30 Speaker 12: at the hotel room now okay, taking care of a

8:32 Speaker 12: taking care of a mishap from earlier.

8:34 Speaker 13: Oh I got you, Yeah, I got you.

8:36 Speaker 15: Yeah, travels tough man. It is especially earlier. It's just

8:40 Speaker 15: it's early morning, yeah, the morning.

8:42 Speaker 12: Yeah, it is.

8:45 Speaker 16: It is.

8:47 Speaker 13: So is your drummer, what's his name?

8:51 Speaker 12: John?

8:51 Speaker 13: John?

8:51 Speaker 16: Is he?

8:52 Speaker 13: There's been a trend on the show recently, well at

8:55 Speaker 13: least last couple years, especially with with everybody who comes on.

8:57 Speaker 13: Everybody's drummer is in like ten different bands? Is John

8:59 Speaker 13: and ten different bands?

9:00 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I assume he's in the band that

9:04 Speaker 12: just left.

9:05 Speaker 13: I don't actually no, oh yeah, that's funny.

9:10 Speaker 12: That could be why he left. He's like I got

9:12 Speaker 12: to go back to the hotel room. I'm like, okay, John, yeah,

9:16 Speaker 12: going to his next his next gig with the other band.

9:19 Speaker 13: Yea, absolutely, yeah, it's amazing. And you know, bass players

9:22 Speaker 13: can be hard to come by too, But but drummers especially,

9:26 Speaker 13: like everybody's everybody's drummers in all kinds of different bands.

9:29 Speaker 11: Yeah.

9:30 Speaker 12: Man, guitarists are a diamond dozen. Like everyone plays guitar.

9:33 Speaker 13: It is true. I mean as a bass player, I

9:35 Speaker 13: say that, you know, no offense, but no, yeah, no,

9:38 Speaker 13: but it is true. Yeah, guitar players are everywhere. Yeah, yeah,

9:41 Speaker 13: what do you what do you think it is with drummers?

9:43 Speaker 13: Why are drummers so hard to uh?

9:44 Speaker 11: You ever?

9:45 Speaker 12: Have you ever tried to play drums? No, it's it's

9:48 Speaker 12: so hard.

9:49 Speaker 13: Well, yeah, because you got to use all four of

9:50 Speaker 13: your limbs. That looks like too much for me.

9:52 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's way too much. I can't coordinate my feet

9:55 Speaker 12: with my hands like that.

9:56 Speaker 15: No, my my brain and my feet have never communicated properly.

9:59 Speaker 13: Yeah yeah.

10:00 Speaker 14: And you know what I think it is, as the

10:01 Speaker 14: parents of a drummer, it's a very special person that

10:05 Speaker 14: allows their kid to bring a drum set into the house.

10:07 Speaker 13: And that's always yeah, and so just.

10:12 Speaker 14: That there are not a lot of people that get

10:13 Speaker 14: into it super early, and and that's why they're in

10:16 Speaker 14: such high demand. I tell my kid all the time,

10:19 Speaker 14: you will always have work if you stick with us.

10:21 Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, now that makes sense. Yeah, that and maybe

10:24 Speaker 13: the tuba. You don't necessarily want your house either.

10:27 Speaker 6: Right.

10:28 Speaker 13: Unless you're a mummer, like yeah, yeah, yeah, the clarinet anything.

10:33 Speaker 12: I feel like the clarinet is way more annoying because

10:35 Speaker 12: you get that squeaky sound when they're learning. It's like

10:39 Speaker 12: nails on a chalkboard.

10:40 Speaker 4: And my sister did that, she really.

10:45 Speaker 12: Yeah, any read instrument you're gonna get that squeak.

10:48 Speaker 13: Yeah.

10:48 Speaker 12: Yeah.

10:50 Speaker 13: Now I'm curious about the name Jersey calling, uh what.

10:53 Speaker 13: I assume it has something to do with New Jersey,

10:56 Speaker 13: but but I don't know, maybe not or from Oklahoma,

11:00 Speaker 13: I'd be a great twist.

11:04 Speaker 12: So when we when we formed the band, Sean and

11:08 Speaker 12: I were listening to a lot of the clash and nice,

11:11 Speaker 12: So we thought the Jersey calling would be a cooler

11:14 Speaker 12: band name than the band that we were in at

11:16 Speaker 12: the time, which was called burn Kate.

11:20 Speaker 11: Oh we got mis builled a lot as burnt Kate.

11:23 Speaker 12: Oh my god, Oh for really? Yeah yeah, burning burning Kate,

11:27 Speaker 12: Burning Cake. Yeah, it was no one ever got the

11:31 Speaker 12: name right.

11:31 Speaker 13: Well, now I'm curious where that name came from.

11:33 Speaker 12: What was that about, Sean, Why don't you take this one?

11:35 Speaker 2: Oh?

11:35 Speaker 14: Yeah, my my sister suggested My sister was Kate, and

11:40 Speaker 14: uh she told us that we were going to suck,

11:43 Speaker 14: and I forget exactly what was said in response, and

11:47 Speaker 14: she said, well, why don't you just call the band

11:49 Speaker 14: burn Kate? And it stuck because we were what seventeen

11:52 Speaker 14: at the time.

11:53 Speaker 12: Yeah, it was, you know, a little aggressive back and

11:56 Speaker 12: forth sibling rivalry. Yeah thing, that's cool, good time.

12:00 Speaker 11: Yeah all right.

12:03 Speaker 13: So then so Jersey calling, so it just sounded it

12:07 Speaker 13: just sounded cool, and it.

12:08 Speaker 14: Sounded cool, and I think we just kind of ram

12:11 Speaker 14: with it. Yeah, Like I think we made stickers, and uh,

12:15 Speaker 14: it just kind of stuck from me.

12:16 Speaker 11: Yeah.

12:16 Speaker 12: Once we had like T shirts and stickers made, We're like,

12:19 Speaker 12: all right, we're stuck with this now. Yeah, yep.

12:22 Speaker 13: I'm also so I'm curious about the lyrical themes in

12:24 Speaker 13: your songs. It seems like there's there's a slight political bent.

12:28 Speaker 13: Maybe I don't know, you can never be sure because

12:31 Speaker 13: you know, it's it's kind of ambiguous, so maybe maybe

12:33 Speaker 13: maybe not, Maybe I'm reading into it. I don't know,

12:35 Speaker 13: but I'm curious about lyrical themes. It seems like it

12:39 Speaker 13: seems like the songs not just not just ex Americana,

12:42 Speaker 13: but the other ones I listened to too, there's they've

12:44 Speaker 13: got that well, there's that punk ethos where you want

12:46 Speaker 13: to appeal to people who are not uh you know,

12:51 Speaker 13: to uh you know, you want to appeal to working

12:53 Speaker 13: class people. I guess is what I'm trying to say,

12:54 Speaker 13: you know what I mean? And yeah, I mean, am

12:56 Speaker 13: I am I getting the right vibe with what I'm

12:58 Speaker 13: what I'm hearing in your lyrics?

13:01 Speaker 10: Yeah?

13:01 Speaker 12: I I I would say so. I mean, I feel

13:03 Speaker 12: like ex Americana is a lot more explicitly. So, yeah,

13:07 Speaker 12: any song that we've done so far. But on the

13:11 Speaker 12: album Parasocial Security, I mean there there are plenty of

13:14 Speaker 12: songs with political themes, like Gods and Cowboys is about imperialism. Uh,

13:19 Speaker 12: You've got astilll Auego, which is kind of a working

13:21 Speaker 12: class kind of song. Yeah, got uh Queen of the Unclean,

13:26 Speaker 12: which is about trans rites social media content, about social media,

13:34 Speaker 12: and then you.

13:34 Speaker 15: Got a little bit of love in there. So like

13:37 Speaker 15: you know, you got you got political, you got you know,

13:40 Speaker 15: social rights, you got the you.

13:42 Speaker 4: Have we run the gamut.

13:44 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I mean like I feel like if I

13:48 Speaker 12: tried to write only political songs, I would run out

13:51 Speaker 12: of material really quickly, because I'm uh not smart enough

13:55 Speaker 12: to do that.

13:57 Speaker 11: Yeah.

13:57 Speaker 13: No, I think that's what part that's part of what

14:00 Speaker 13: me and listening to your music though, is is the

14:03 Speaker 13: theme the themes of because I love that stuff anyway.

14:06 Speaker 13: You know, we actually do politics on the show a

14:08 Speaker 13: long time ago, and we had to take it out,

14:10 Speaker 13: but but now it's, you know, we we stick to

14:14 Speaker 13: interviews with musicians. But but it's but I like that

14:17 Speaker 13: kind of I like music with a message and a

14:19 Speaker 13: point of view and and all that, So I think

14:21 Speaker 13: that's That's what part of what drew me into because

14:24 Speaker 13: when I was listening, because then I you know, obviously

14:26 Speaker 13: I listened to the tracks you sent, and then I

14:27 Speaker 13: went online and just listen to everything I could find

14:29 Speaker 13: of of Jersey Calling. Thank you, thanks dud, absolutely absolutely, Well,

14:33 Speaker 13: do you want to play another? As long as we're

14:35 Speaker 13: talking about all this great music, you want to play

14:37 Speaker 13: another studio track? And then we'll talk some more.

14:39 Speaker 12: Yet for that, what should we go with next?

14:42 Speaker 13: Let I'll let you all pick, assuming I don't know

14:45 Speaker 13: if you remember what you sent me. Uh uh, there's

14:48 Speaker 13: a Backseat Driver also, luego. Oh, maybe we should play

14:52 Speaker 13: that one because you mentioned that one.

14:54 Speaker 12: Yeah sounds good. Yeah yeah, that's a crowd pleasers.

14:57 Speaker 4: That's a wake up song.

14:58 Speaker 13: Yeah, oh definitely. I'd say these are all wake up songs. Yeah, yeah,

15:01 Speaker 13: they're all. They're all pretty pretty high energy. What should

15:04 Speaker 13: we know about this one? Anything you want to tell us?

15:05 Speaker 13: Anything special about this one? We should know before we

15:07 Speaker 13: hear it.

15:08 Speaker 12: Sure. A little fun fact about it was that I

15:10 Speaker 12: wrote this song for my kindergarten class. I'm a teacher

15:13 Speaker 12: okad during the day, Yeah, oh cool, I'm a Spanish

15:15 Speaker 12: teacher and so I wrote the chorus Asta Asta Asta lawego,

15:19 Speaker 12: just to teach them how to say goodbye. And I

15:21 Speaker 12: was after after Leslie do it a little bit, I'm like,

15:24 Speaker 12: this will be a cool punk song. Yeah, And so

15:27 Speaker 12: I wrote a verse with a lot of a lot

15:29 Speaker 12: of the F word in it. Okay, you know that

15:31 Speaker 12: that works the clear and clean verse you sent me.

15:34 Speaker 13: You sent me the radio edit all right, which say man.

15:37 Speaker 12: Like you're gonna get canceled for this.

15:41 Speaker 13: Oh yeah, and ire I pre screen everything. I'm super

15:51 Speaker 13: me stuff and it's like, oh I can't play that,

15:54 Speaker 13: but I can make Sometimes I'll make my own radio edit.

15:56 Speaker 13: I just I call it the poor man's radio edit.

19:36 Speaker 13: I love it, Asa Luego. The band is Jersey Calling.

19:39 Speaker 13: That is very, very catchy, high energy. I always say

19:41 Speaker 13: when I play something like that, if it doesn't get

19:43 Speaker 13: you moving, check your pulse, you might be dead. But uh,

19:47 Speaker 13: we've got three of the members of Jersey Calling here

19:49 Speaker 13: with us in studio. And how much how much music

19:53 Speaker 13: have as the band recorded? Do you have a lot

19:56 Speaker 13: at this point?

19:56 Speaker 12: Yeah, we have a good amount online. So we have

20:00 Speaker 12: three three full length albums, Daddy Reissues, Punk Rock Retirement

20:04 Speaker 12: and Parasocial Security. Yeah, and then we have two single releases, Projections,

20:10 Speaker 12: which is actually two songs, it's Projections and poster Girl.

20:14 Speaker 12: And then we just released x Americana two weeks ago.

20:17 Speaker 13: Okay, okay, excellent. Now do you have do you have

20:21 Speaker 13: physical CDs or do you just put things out online? Okay?

20:24 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we we get CDs of all our albums.

20:28 Speaker 12: We have vinyl of Parasocial Security, and then we also

20:33 Speaker 12: have a seven inch vinyl of these single projections with

20:36 Speaker 12: the B side being a poster Girl.

20:38 Speaker 13: Oh no kidding. Yeah, that's very cool.

20:40 Speaker 12: Yeah, we haven't done a we haven't done a physical

20:43 Speaker 12: release of x Americana because I mean I was kind

20:46 Speaker 12: of thinking we'd save it for our next album, which

20:48 Speaker 12: will be sometime in twenty twenty six. Yeah, but yeah, yeah,

20:53 Speaker 12: I don't know. It's just it's so expensive to get

20:55 Speaker 12: everything pressed at this point. Man, Like those seven inches

20:58 Speaker 12: were like, we're basically cost because it's it's tough to

21:04 Speaker 12: jack up the price of something with only two songs

21:06 Speaker 12: on it. Oh yeah, it's hard to justify.

21:08 Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, that's something that's been a subject on

21:12 Speaker 13: the show lately too with a lot of our guests,

21:14 Speaker 13: is you know, physical media because for a long time,

21:17 Speaker 13: so I've I've only been doing the show here at

21:20 Speaker 13: WMNH for about eight and a half years, but I've

21:22 Speaker 13: been interviewing bands for like twenty years, and and there

21:25 Speaker 13: was a period maybe ten years ago, maybe a little more,

21:28 Speaker 13: there was a period where everybody I would talk to

21:31 Speaker 13: would say, now, physical media is dead. We're just putting

21:34 Speaker 13: everything online, just Spotify and everything. And then, like, especially

21:39 Speaker 13: probably in the last five years, I feel like there's

21:41 Speaker 13: been this reversal where obviously, yeah, you do have to

21:43 Speaker 13: put everything online, that's important and that that should be

21:45 Speaker 13: the number one priority, but there's been a real recommitment

21:49 Speaker 13: to CDs. And of course vinyl never went away. Some

21:52 Speaker 13: people think Vinyl like they just stopped making vinyl at

21:54 Speaker 13: one point and then it came back, but it really

21:56 Speaker 13: never went away. But there's been a resurgence with that.

21:59 Speaker 13: I think it was it was either twenty twenty three

22:02 Speaker 13: or maybe twenty twenty two was the first year that

22:04 Speaker 13: vinyl actually outsold CDs since CDs became the primary medium.

22:09 Speaker 13: So but my theory with that is I think most

22:12 Speaker 13: people who buy vinyl they never even open it because

22:14 Speaker 13: if you're really a fan of an artist, like a

22:16 Speaker 13: lot of people who buy vinyl probably don't even have

22:18 Speaker 13: a record player, you know. They just buy it because

22:21 Speaker 13: if you really want to support that artist, you know,

22:22 Speaker 13: and then you can mount the cover art on the

22:24 Speaker 13: wall or something.

22:25 Speaker 12: But the cover art does look really cool, especially on vinyl,

22:28 Speaker 12: because it's yeah big, you know, oh yeah, but yeah.

22:32 Speaker 11: You know.

22:32 Speaker 12: What's crazy to me is like the amount of young

22:35 Speaker 12: people that are really into vinyl. Yeah, oh yeah, like

22:37 Speaker 12: the students that I teach, Like I have a sixth

22:40 Speaker 12: grade kid who he's like really into vinyl and tapes

22:45 Speaker 12: and CDs, like like if it's if it's physical music,

22:49 Speaker 12: he is into it. Yeah, And I suspect like the

22:52 Speaker 12: streaming maybe is the introduction to that music. Yes, but

22:56 Speaker 12: if he likes it, he's going out and he's seeking

22:58 Speaker 12: out the physical album.

23:00 Speaker 11: Yeah.

23:00 Speaker 12: I mean that's I think that's super cool, you know, absolutely.

23:03 Speaker 15: I like that there's like that option though, So like before,

23:06 Speaker 15: like you kind of had to either hear them live

23:08 Speaker 15: or just buy it and then listen and decide whether

23:10 Speaker 15: you like it or not. I kind of like that

23:12 Speaker 15: you can listen first and go no, I want that, like,

23:16 Speaker 15: you know, like that, I don't know if the hopes no,

23:18 Speaker 15: that would have saved me.

23:20 Speaker 12: That would have saved me some money in the nineties, man,

23:22 Speaker 12: that really would have absolutely absolutely Yeah.

23:26 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I I think it's yeah, it's nice.

23:29 Speaker 13: That's a great point, Victoria, because don't get me wrong,

23:32 Speaker 13: Like I have memories of being a kid going to

23:34 Speaker 13: the record store and you know, flipping through things and

23:37 Speaker 13: finding things that look interesting. Oh, this looks like this

23:39 Speaker 13: has a cool cover. Maybe this will be cool, maybe

23:41 Speaker 13: it won't, but I'll take the risk and buy it,

23:43 Speaker 13: you know. But now it's like, you know, there's no

23:45 Speaker 13: there's no guesswork, and you can find anything that that's

23:50 Speaker 13: some of the you know, because I'm I'm Generation X.

23:52 Speaker 13: My generation is really the last generation to grow up

23:54 Speaker 13: without the Internet. So I can still remember, like if

23:57 Speaker 13: there was a song that just popped into my brain

23:58 Speaker 13: one day and I'm like, oh, I haven't heard that

24:00 Speaker 13: in a while. I'd like to hear that. Well, what

24:02 Speaker 13: am I going to do if I don't. If I

24:04 Speaker 13: don't have it myself, I don't know anyone who has it.

24:06 Speaker 13: I mean it's you know, but now I can just

24:08 Speaker 13: go online and find it. It's amazing. We had an

24:10 Speaker 13: amazing time.

24:11 Speaker 6: It is.

24:11 Speaker 12: It is pretty crazy. I remember like I would I

24:14 Speaker 12: would hear I would hear a single on the radio

24:17 Speaker 12: or I'd see it on like MTV or something. Yeah,

24:19 Speaker 12: and then you had no choice. You had to go

24:21 Speaker 12: out and buy the album because like the single wasn't

24:23 Speaker 12: available or whatever. Yeah, and then you listen to the

24:26 Speaker 12: album and it's like I hate every other Yeah, I hate.

24:30 Speaker 12: I have eleven tracks of Garbage and I have one

24:34 Speaker 12: song that I.

24:35 Speaker 11: Want to hear yeap.

24:36 Speaker 12: Oh yeah that was fifteen dollars of my Heart Earned

24:39 Speaker 12: Allowance yep.

24:41 Speaker 11: Stuff.

24:41 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, taking the rash out and moments and lawns.

24:45 Speaker 13: Yeah, I used to. I used to record off the

24:49 Speaker 13: radio too, oh yeah, ye save that way, just recorded

24:52 Speaker 13: off Oh my god, I.

24:53 Speaker 12: Forgot that yeah yeah oh yeah, I mean technically, like

24:56 Speaker 12: that's word admitting to crimes now, right, like this is

24:59 Speaker 12: this word. This is like a confessional. Yeah, like we

25:02 Speaker 12: shouldn't be that.

25:02 Speaker 13: That's true, Yeah, that's true.

25:04 Speaker 2: Oh.

25:04 Speaker 13: I would record with the VCR. I would record videos

25:07 Speaker 13: off of MTV. Oh yeah, oh yeah.

25:09 Speaker 12: The FCI has entered the.

25:14 Speaker 13: Absolutely Oh our friend Marian vanishes in the chat room.

25:18 Speaker 1: Man.

25:18 Speaker 13: She has a question. She says, I'd like to know

25:21 Speaker 13: bands are artists that might have inspired them? Yeah, great,

25:24 Speaker 13: great subject. I want to know that too, Like who

25:26 Speaker 13: are your inspirations? Who are your influences?

25:28 Speaker 12: I'm gonna throw at the sewan again because I haven't

25:30 Speaker 12: heard his voice in three minutes.

25:31 Speaker 11: Oh okay.

25:32 Speaker 14: From a guitar playing perspective, there are three guitars that

25:37 Speaker 14: I really like. James Bowman from Against Me, Jerry Garcia

25:40 Speaker 14: from The Rateful Dead, and Slash. Those are the three,

25:44 Speaker 14: And there are three very different guitarists, but there are

25:46 Speaker 14: three people that I like. Those are the solos I

25:49 Speaker 14: try to learn and then try to just see what

25:52 Speaker 14: I can fit in in Jersey calling songs.

25:54 Speaker 12: I want to put those three in a room together. Yeah, yeah,

25:57 Speaker 12: I want to see those three guys in a room

25:59 Speaker 12: together just hanging out that rate.

26:01 Speaker 13: Well on one of them would be hard Geregresy has

26:05 Speaker 13: been dead for like twenty years, yeah, thirty years? Things

26:11 Speaker 13: about music, Yeah, Jerry has left the building. Yeah yeah,

26:15 Speaker 13: how about you, Victoria?

26:16 Speaker 15: So my influences include uh, Haley Williams from Paramour, Lizzie

26:22 Speaker 15: Hale from Hailstorm, and Amy Lely from Evanescence.

26:25 Speaker 4: Those are like my three very big ones.

26:28 Speaker 15: Yeah, but I you know, kind of like runs the

26:31 Speaker 15: gamut because I'm I'm also in cover bands and I

26:34 Speaker 15: kind of grew up on cover bands my dad did, so, yeah.

26:37 Speaker 4: I I grew up on like, you know, Green Day.

26:41 Speaker 15: And actually and I'm a really funny one just because

26:45 Speaker 15: I think it's funny. Because I like butt rock, so.

26:47 Speaker 4: I like Pearl Jam and you know what har like like,

26:54 Speaker 4: I I love that, I like it.

26:57 Speaker 12: I like it.

26:57 Speaker 15: I like a lot of different, you know styles, but

27:01 Speaker 15: Avril Lavine like when she started coming out, I learned

27:04 Speaker 15: how to sing like I just sucked in Helium because

27:07 Speaker 15: of Brettey Spears. Oh yeah, yeah aad so like, you know, different,

27:12 Speaker 15: I have all these different influences and those so far,

27:15 Speaker 15: those three though, and I just got to meet Lizzie

27:17 Speaker 15: Hale and that was the best day of my life.

27:19 Speaker 13: Oh nice, very cool.

27:20 Speaker 7: Yeah.

27:21 Speaker 15: So and then our wedding was the best day, but first,

27:25 Speaker 15: you know, it was you don't have to say, I'm

27:28 Speaker 15: just saying, but yeah, so those.

27:31 Speaker 13: Mine excellent, excellent. You must hear a lot of new

27:34 Speaker 13: stuff too being a teacher.

27:37 Speaker 12: Not really because I feel like like a lot of

27:41 Speaker 12: the kids nowadays, as far as rock is concerned, they

27:44 Speaker 12: listened to the same music that I listened to as

27:46 Speaker 12: a kid, so like like I'm big into like nineties

27:49 Speaker 12: punk and ska. It was a big SKA kid too, Yeah,

27:53 Speaker 12: and then they they go back even further, like like

27:56 Speaker 12: the same sixth grader the other day was like, hey,

27:58 Speaker 12: mister Kate's, uh you ever listen I'm a minor threat

28:00 Speaker 12: and I'm like, no, man, you're a lot more hardcore

28:02 Speaker 12: than Like I'm waiting for him to call me a poser.

28:07 Speaker 13: Now it's gonna happen.

28:10 Speaker 12: But like I don't know, like Green Day, Bad Religion,

28:13 Speaker 12: No Effects against Me. Really love Laura Jane Grace's solo

28:18 Speaker 12: stuff too. And then on the SKA side, I really

28:22 Speaker 12: I love Less than Jake. They were one of my

28:23 Speaker 12: favorite bands coming up. And then as far as like

28:27 Speaker 12: newer stuff, like I don't know Frank Turner, I really

28:30 Speaker 12: like Frank Turner. What's cool is like playing these shows

28:34 Speaker 12: we get to hear some like local bands that we

28:37 Speaker 12: actually like and I would probably never hear of like

28:41 Speaker 12: if it weren't for this, Like last night when we

28:43 Speaker 12: played with Futon Lasagna, that band was rad, but that

28:47 Speaker 12: was a really good band. They were also, they were

28:50 Speaker 12: really good. And then the Prozacs tonight they're a great

28:53 Speaker 12: band too. And then from around our area we got

28:55 Speaker 12: a backyard Superheroes that we just played with and title

28:58 Speaker 12: Holder like, there's a lot of really good, undiscovered talent

29:04 Speaker 12: out there, and uh, I think that's one of the

29:06 Speaker 12: coolest things about being in a local band is like

29:08 Speaker 12: you get to you get to hear these things.

29:09 Speaker 13: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely. Miriam was saying she was getting

29:13 Speaker 13: a little bit of a dead Milkman vibe from the

29:16 Speaker 13: last song we played.

29:16 Speaker 12: I guess that is a that is the biggest Philly

29:20 Speaker 12: compliment that you can receive. I appreciate that. Oh my god. Yeah,

29:25 Speaker 12: Like they're legends. Yeah, I'm like, I'm pretty sure they're

29:28 Speaker 12: going to build a statue of those guys next to

29:30 Speaker 12: the statue of Rocky Balboa that we have.

29:32 Speaker 13: Nice.

29:33 Speaker 11: Yeah, that'suns accurate.

29:35 Speaker 13: Yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome. Hey, we were talking about

29:39 Speaker 13: it earlier. Should we play this? We haven't planned this,

29:41 Speaker 13: but this track Queen of the Unclean yeah, we should

29:44 Speaker 13: give this a spin. What what should we know about this?

29:48 Speaker 12: So, like I said a little bit earlier, it is

29:50 Speaker 12: about trans trans writes. It is like I feel like

29:55 Speaker 12: upon a cursory read of it, you would never get that.

30:01 Speaker 12: You really have to kind of like read the lyrics,

30:03 Speaker 12: and then upon reading it a little bit more, it's like, oh,

30:08 Speaker 12: all right, I kind of get what they could be

30:10 Speaker 12: talking about here. I didn't want to make it super

30:13 Speaker 12: explicit because I don't know. Like, here's the thing, I'm

30:16 Speaker 12: not a trans person. I can't really speak for that community.

30:19 Speaker 12: It's really a song about like empathy because like, I

30:22 Speaker 12: don't know, I feel like all people should have rights exactly.

30:25 Speaker 12: I know that's a really radical view.

30:27 Speaker 13: Now, it's so crazy, like look at this guy.

30:34 Speaker 12: But yeah, that's why I wrote that. I don't know, man, like,

30:37 Speaker 12: because I saw all the like outrage coming from like

30:40 Speaker 12: certain media sources and even like you know, like older

30:45 Speaker 12: friends and family members, and I'm just like why, like why,

30:48 Speaker 12: like why we can be this upset? I can something

30:51 Speaker 12: that doesn't affect you at all.

30:53 Speaker 13: I can relate to that. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Well, let's

30:57 Speaker 13: let's give this a spin. This is called Queen of

30:59 Speaker 13: the unclean, and the band is Jersey Colling.

31:12 Speaker 4: It's me that's keeping you a week all night.

31:14 Speaker 1: It's me triggering a poor fight. It's me. I'm your

41:41 Speaker 21: John, I have a big range. I would go from

41:45 Speaker 21: like led Zeppelin to the Who and then the past.

41:49 Speaker 21: I don't know, ten to fifteen years. I really got

41:51 Speaker 21: into the Ramones Yeah. And Social Distortion Yeah. And Jersey

41:58 Speaker 21: Colin Yeah.

42:01 Speaker 12: Good answer, good choice, Like a snake eating itself for

42:04 Speaker 12: our own influence.

42:07 Speaker 11: A lot of my influences line up with Josh's nineties punk,

42:12 Speaker 11: you know, skate Punk, Green Day, Penny Wise, Offspring, Bad Religion, Yeah, yeah,

42:19 Speaker 11: descendants obviously.

42:20 Speaker 12: Okay, Okay, you named a lot that I didn't name,

42:23 Speaker 12: and good choice.

42:25 Speaker 11: I heard what you said, so I wanted to add

42:28 Speaker 11: to it.

42:28 Speaker 13: Excellent. Now what was this? While that song was playing,

42:32 Speaker 13: I heard something about and the word contiguous made its

42:35 Speaker 13: way into Oh my gosh conversation.

42:37 Speaker 12: I'm so glad you.

42:38 Speaker 13: Brought that up, aren't you. I thought you might be

42:42 Speaker 13: from the conversation.

42:44 Speaker 14: So my family and I I got two little kids,

42:47 Speaker 14: and we go on car trips. We desperately try to

42:50 Speaker 14: keep them entertained iPad's help, but we also have this

42:54 Speaker 14: licensed plate game where it's more involved than just counting

42:57 Speaker 14: how many different states you see, but you have to

43:00 Speaker 14: get a total of states that are all contiguous with

43:03 Speaker 14: one another. So like if you see a Wyoming plate,

43:06 Speaker 14: in order to count it in the total, you got

43:08 Speaker 14: to connect it all the way to in this case,

43:10 Speaker 14: like New Hampshire. Yeah, and anyway, So I've been playing

43:14 Speaker 14: that and they've all been making fun of me.

43:15 Speaker 11: The whole people.

43:18 Speaker 12: We think it's adorable.

43:19 Speaker 11: Man. I like that. Your rule is you can't write

43:22 Speaker 11: down a plate for the state that you're in.

43:25 Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you have to wait until you get

43:28 Speaker 14: out of that state and then see that state's plate

43:30 Speaker 14: in another state.

43:31 Speaker 12: I was trying to help you by naming license plates

43:34 Speaker 12: that I saw, and I realized very quickly that I

43:37 Speaker 12: did not understand the game. And I'm just I'm I'm

43:43 Speaker 12: not good at it. I did not understand how to play.

43:46 Speaker 11: In Pennsylvania like sixteen times.

43:49 Speaker 12: You know, it's fun to say. It's just you know,

43:51 Speaker 12: it's kind of like Transylvania.

43:52 Speaker 6: It is.

43:55 Speaker 13: Well, very good, and it's educational, right. It teaches the kids.

43:58 Speaker 12: It does geography, yes exactly. Yeah, shout out your kids

44:01 Speaker 12: say their full names.

44:03 Speaker 11: Don't do that.

44:05 Speaker 12: I don't.

44:09 Speaker 13: She loves what if you just say that the name

44:13 Speaker 13: of the one that would be excited.

44:14 Speaker 11: My daughter hates the spam.

44:17 Speaker 13: Oh really, yes, why.

44:19 Speaker 14: I think the biggest reason is because I'm here and

44:22 Speaker 14: not hanging out with her. We're also loud and she doesn't.

44:24 Speaker 13: Like oh really okay, okay, well that's fair.

44:27 Speaker 14: But it's it's very adorable how much she hates brilliant

44:29 Speaker 14: and she really she dives into it.

44:31 Speaker 4: But Swift for her swift.

44:35 Speaker 12: I think she loves to hate him. I think that's

44:37 Speaker 12: what it is. I think like she gets a kick.

44:40 Speaker 11: Out of it. She does.

44:41 Speaker 13: Okay, okay, well that's better then, yeah. Yeah, do you

44:45 Speaker 13: guys all like, do you have a van you all

44:47 Speaker 13: like ride together? How does that work as far as travel?

44:49 Speaker 13: Because there's five of you so much.

44:51 Speaker 11: We're in a big cab pickup truck that I own.

44:54 Speaker 11: Oh really I want a trailer.

44:56 Speaker 13: Okay, so everybody's able to fit inside the truck us.

45:00 Speaker 11: The back to in the front. Oh comfy too.

45:02 Speaker 12: It yeah yeah yeah, super roomy, like way way better

45:07 Speaker 12: than I would think.

45:08 Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, that's good. That's good. That's the way to

45:10 Speaker 13: do it, right, because I've met bands who you know,

45:12 Speaker 13: they've got like three cars, you know, rolling, and it's like, uh,

45:15 Speaker 13: it's also.

45:16 Speaker 12: Convenient that none of us breaks six feet in height,

45:19 Speaker 12: like like we're all pretty short.

45:21 Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, is that by design?

45:24 Speaker 11: Is that was that? Yeah?

45:25 Speaker 4: There's a rule yeah, environment yeah.

45:29 Speaker 11: Yeah, you gotta be under five ten. You can't be

45:31 Speaker 11: in his band.

45:32 Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, that's awesome. Well, and you know that's reasonable.

45:35 Speaker 13: I mean five nine is a national average, right, so

45:37 Speaker 13: you know it doesn't doesn't close you off too much.

45:40 Speaker 12: John showed up for the audition. I was just like, okay,

45:42 Speaker 12: check right.

45:45 Speaker 4: Next to him, kind of like measured it up.

45:47 Speaker 13: Yeah. Yeah. Now, so how long have each have you

45:52 Speaker 13: been in the band.

45:52 Speaker 11: I've been in the band.

45:53 Speaker 21: It'll be two years in September.

45:55 Speaker 13: Are you the newest member? You're the newest member? Okay?

46:00 Speaker 13: Than is Randy the second newest?

46:01 Speaker 12: Randy's a founding member.

46:03 Speaker 11: Founding I'm a day one higher right.

46:06 Speaker 13: Oh okay, so it's the second newest. You're the second

46:10 Speaker 13: newest Victoria okay, gotcha, gotcha? Okay, all right? Was so

46:16 Speaker 13: there was another was there a previous female.

46:17 Speaker 11: Singer or no?

46:19 Speaker 6: No?

46:20 Speaker 12: Originally it was just me.

46:22 Speaker 13: So you were doing all the vocals originally yeah yeah.

46:25 Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, so that like that was not not that good.

46:29 Speaker 12: So now we have Victoria to make us sound.

46:36 Speaker 11: Good.

46:37 Speaker 13: Yeah, which is nice.

46:39 Speaker 15: I think it's something different. I don't know that it

46:43 Speaker 15: makes it better.

46:43 Speaker 12: I think, all right, all self deprecation aside. I think

46:47 Speaker 12: the the dueling male and female vocals are really cool. Like,

46:53 Speaker 12: I think it makes it more interesting to listen to.

46:55 Speaker 12: I love Victoria's voice. I love the way our voices

46:58 Speaker 12: work together.

46:59 Speaker 14: I think it just adds another I think a little

47:02 Speaker 14: bit more depth to our songs. I think there's there's

47:05 Speaker 14: a story that Victory is able to tell with her voice.

47:07 Speaker 14: That and and give something to the lyrics that we

47:11 Speaker 14: write that might not have been there when we wrote

47:14 Speaker 14: them down at first.

47:15 Speaker 12: So yeah, I think it helps you class and class absolutely, yeah, class.

47:26 Speaker 13: No, that's fantastic. Well, listen, the time goes quickly. Unfortunately,

47:30 Speaker 13: I do want to get one more song in which

47:32 Speaker 13: we'll we'll play in a moment, which is the one

47:35 Speaker 13: that you sent that we didn't play yet. It was

47:38 Speaker 13: uh oh yeah projections that came up in the conversation earlier.
