Speaker 2: inside joke. I'm a bass player myself, but that's all right,
Speaker 2: that's all right. No, I'm glad the three of you
Speaker 2: are here. And guys, I love your sound. I gotta
Speaker 2: say that right up front.
Speaker 12: You.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we actually, so you sent us two tracks to play,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna play the other one at the end
Speaker 2: of our conversation, but later in the show too, we'll
Speaker 2: probably play a couple more that I found that I
Speaker 2: really really like that I found online. So you guys
Speaker 2: are awesome. Where are you from?
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you so much. We are from North Shields,
Speaker 5: which is just a little town outside of Newcastle upon
Speaker 5: Tyne in the northeast of the UK Okay.
Speaker 2: And are there a lot of bands there right now
Speaker 2: that that kind of sound like you, guys, because you know,
Speaker 2: we we have usually if we have somebody from across
Speaker 2: the pond, as we say here in the United States.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you say that there about us, but.
Speaker 7: They don't.
Speaker 2: They don't sound quite like you guys. I mean you
Speaker 2: have such an accessible you know, like if I were
Speaker 2: hearing your music and had no idea that you were
Speaker 2: not an American band, I would assume that you were
Speaker 2: an American band because you have a sound that's very
Speaker 2: accessible in terms of American radio. Are there are there
Speaker 2: other bands there that sound like you or do you
Speaker 2: guys kind of stand out in that sense.
Speaker 14: In the sense of sounding like an American radio band.
Speaker 14: Perhaps not, but.
Speaker 17: That's also that's just a massive compliment. We take that
Speaker 17: so like we listen to a lot of American radio stuff.
Speaker 17: That's actually kind of something we say as well, like, oh,
Speaker 17: this sounds like it could be on us radio when
Speaker 17: we're making it.
Speaker 14: So we love we love that compliment. Not a lot
Speaker 14: of people from.
Speaker 17: Around here sound like us specifically, I would say, yeah,
Speaker 17: but there is a big music scene happening right now.
Speaker 3: What is it like?
Speaker 2: What is it like where you guys are, specifically in
Speaker 2: terms of are there a lot of places to play
Speaker 2: live or you able to get out and do a
Speaker 2: lot of shows?
Speaker 14: What's what?
Speaker 2: What is the scene like there where you are?
Speaker 16: And yeah, it's been it's obviously.
Speaker 18: I think it's probably similar to yourselves where post COVID
Speaker 18: everyone's still there's still some teving issues and everyone's trying
Speaker 18: to get back back to how it was before. But
Speaker 18: we find a lot of joy in and around where
Speaker 18: we're from, Newcastle, North Shields. We found we found a
Speaker 18: lot of joy over the over the water and the
Speaker 18: likes of Sunderland and Millersbllt, which are other small city
Speaker 18: small towns. But it seems like everyone's trying to support
Speaker 18: each other.
Speaker 16: We we travel.
Speaker 18: Outside of the Northeast when we can. As Jackson said,
Speaker 18: there's a big, big music scene. It seems like it's
Speaker 18: starting to bubble up again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 5: A bit of a funny one after COVID though, because
Speaker 5: you had like this massive bottomneck of gigs that needed
Speaker 5: to happen, that were postponeding things. But I think now
Speaker 5: you start to see a lot of venues close, a
Speaker 5: lot of the smaller venues. So while in Newcastle and
Speaker 5: and sort of Shields where we're from and all that
Speaker 5: sort of place, they have a lot of really good
Speaker 5: bands and a lot of good talent, it's kind of
Speaker 5: hard to go out and see people that you want
Speaker 5: to go and see as much now because some of
Speaker 5: those smaller venues, the ones that we would all you know,
Speaker 5: take hold of, they're all starting or have closed recently,
Speaker 5: especially in Teaside, which is just the borough south of us,
Speaker 5: and we've lost a lot of venues there, and recently
Speaker 5: in Newcastle we've lost two or three here too, So
Speaker 5: it's getting tricky. But all that does, I think it's
Speaker 5: kind of fuels the fire for the existing venues for
Speaker 5: us to get in there and and sort of you know,
Speaker 5: everybody to gather around in a close that environment and
Speaker 5: really listen to each other as well.
Speaker 2: What is what is causing that these venues to close?
Speaker 14: Do you know?
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 2: Is it the economics of it? I know here in
Speaker 2: the United States, the you know, there's a lot of inflation,
Speaker 2: but I think we're probably faring better than a lot
Speaker 2: of places. Is that it is everything just too expensive?
Speaker 2: Or is there something else going on?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think inflation is definitely one big thing. I
Speaker 5: think people aren't sure if they can commit the money
Speaker 5: to a ticket so far in advance, so advanced sales
Speaker 5: is a huge part of that local scene for us,
Speaker 5: and you really don't really find out how many tickets
Speaker 5: you've got until maybe's the day before, but even the
Speaker 5: night of. We did a show earlier in the air
Speaker 5: where we sold like, I don't know, twenty thirty tickets
Speaker 5: the week running up to the gig, and then on
Speaker 5: the night the venue was full and sold out. So
Speaker 5: this instability that we have with ticket purchases and advance
Speaker 5: that's causing a lot of upset with promoters and venues.
Speaker 5: So the commitment is like the starting to lose the
Speaker 5: commitment of people who want to put those shows on,
Speaker 5: and it's just just change as well. That's just it's
Speaker 5: a natural change that I think people need to sort
Speaker 5: of adapt to and react with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting about the tickets because we had someone
Speaker 2: here from the Jenny what are they called? Is that
Speaker 2: the New I'm sure Music Collective or New England Music
Speaker 2: Collective John Macarthurpy.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a promoter from the area and he was here.
Speaker 2: We had an extensive conversation with him about this, and
Speaker 2: he was talking about how when he puts events, when
Speaker 2: his company puts events online, very often people wait till
Speaker 2: the last minute to buy tickets and that's been the
Speaker 2: trend post COVID, and the problem that that causes is
Speaker 2: and he was kind of pleading with people, please, you know,
Speaker 2: don't wait till the last minute, because what ends up
Speaker 2: happening is, you know, an event will sell out and
Speaker 2: he'll be going, you know, we could have done this
Speaker 2: in a larger venue, but we didn't know that all
Speaker 2: these people were going to show up, because people have
Speaker 2: gotten into that habit of waiting until you know, the
Speaker 2: day of before they make that commitment, and it causes
Speaker 2: a bit of a bottleneck. But I think part of
Speaker 2: that too is I don't know if it's if it
Speaker 2: has to do with inflation, people being more careful about
Speaker 2: how they spend their money, that may be part of it.
Speaker 2: But also to I think just the Internet has made
Speaker 2: it so. You know, you guys, you guys look pretty
Speaker 2: young from what I saw online. I'm old enough to
Speaker 2: remember when we didn't even have an internet. So if
Speaker 2: you had to buy tickets, you know, you call up
Speaker 2: you know, ticket Master, or you go to the I
Speaker 2: slept on.
Speaker 9: The sidewalk outside of tickets in order to get tickets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but back then, but back in the day, pre internet,
Speaker 2: it was the inverse, right, if you wanted to go
Speaker 2: to a show, you had to get the tickets early
Speaker 2: or you risk missing out. Whereas now, because you can,
Speaker 2: you know, just buy tickets online or you know, or
Speaker 2: risk just showing up, you can afford to wait till
Speaker 2: the last minute. And I think that's where that problem
Speaker 2: comes from.
Speaker 5: Definitely, we we have that memory. We used to go
Speaker 5: to venues, We used to queue outside and wait and
Speaker 5: buy the tickets. Yeah, when we were like in high school,
Speaker 5: that was good fun. Yeah, yeah, And it's so cool
Speaker 5: here by the way, once in like a week in October,
Speaker 5: back in like twenty ten, we still outside this venue
Speaker 5: and we just shivered. We have to wear school uniforms
Speaker 5: in the UK and we don't wear coats because it's
Speaker 5: not cool to wear a coat from Newcastle, so we
Speaker 5: were all just shivering outside waiting to buy tickets. Were
Speaker 5: that that was such good fun. But I totally agree
Speaker 5: the Internet changes that landscape one hundred percent. And we've
Speaker 5: seen a lot of local festivals collapse due to lack
Speaker 5: of advanced sales. And people obviously think that there's just
Speaker 5: an ease of like accessibility to be able to get
Speaker 5: your ticket whenever you want to be like, oh, just
Speaker 5: I'll get that closer at the time. That's not a problem.
Speaker 5: But there's so much money that has to be put
Speaker 5: up to front these shows, the festivals, whatever it is
Speaker 5: that you go into that logistically financially, the deadlines can't
Speaker 5: be met, the sort of bar stuff things like that
Speaker 5: can't be put in place to make sure that you
Speaker 5: can go ahead without.
Speaker 2: That right exactly, And people don't know that, you know,
Speaker 2: your average consumer has no idea about any of this,
Speaker 2: and you know, and there's no reason that we should
Speaker 2: expect them to know. But one of the things that
Speaker 2: we try to do with this show is really educate
Speaker 2: people about that about how the music industry works, because yeah,
Speaker 2: if you know, it's all supply and demand ultimately, and
Speaker 2: if if somebody doesn't know, if a promoter or whomever
Speaker 2: doesn't know that the demand is there to be met
Speaker 2: until the very last minute, then what ends up happening is, yeah,
Speaker 2: they don't there's not enough money coming in, and they
Speaker 2: end up having to cancel. You said, you said you've
Speaker 2: seen that a lot there festivals having to be canceled
Speaker 2: for that reason.
Speaker 17: Yeah, Yeah, there was a It was a festival we
Speaker 17: were scheduled to play inside of Newcastle and it was
Speaker 17: like a big field and uh, we had promoted it,
Speaker 17: et cetera, and then you know, six weeks before the show,
Speaker 17: it just gets pulled because ticket sales probably weren't good enough.
Speaker 17: And we see a lot I think it's it's sort
Speaker 17: of like a luxury to be able to wait to
Speaker 17: buy your ticket. People don't necessarily feel like the onus
Speaker 17: is on them, like there's no burden or responsibility to
Speaker 17: like buy these tickets because there isn't really but they
Speaker 17: don't also know, like if a promoter sees fifteen tickets
Speaker 17: have been sold, then they'll just go, oh, this show
Speaker 17: isn't worth putting on, even though fifty people have just said, oh,
Speaker 17: we'll just buy the week of like we'll say, you know,
Speaker 17: we'll just keep money and if something else, you know,
Speaker 17: I think as well, Yeah, there's so much choice as well,
Speaker 17: Like it might be a case of like, oh my
Speaker 17: other plans have fallen through, so now go to this show, right. Yeah,
Speaker 17: so the commitment as well, like people don't want to
Speaker 17: commit too early.
Speaker 14: I think that maybe is.
Speaker 17: Because of post COVID, Like you weren't going out anywhere,
Speaker 17: so people have learned to live without going out, right,
Speaker 17: So maybe people are you know, they've gotten comfortable not
Speaker 17: going out.
Speaker 14: And realizing they don't have to. So maybe that's part
Speaker 14: of it as well.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense. What uh,
Speaker 2: what's the vibe like in terms of working with other bands?
Speaker 2: You know here in the United States, it's I find
Speaker 2: that in the music scene most there's a lot of
Speaker 2: positivity and people kind of work together and whatnot. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's competitive obviously, but it's not like saying stand up comedy.
Speaker 2: I listen to some podcasts hosted by stand up comedians
Speaker 2: in the United States, and everything sounds like it's very
Speaker 2: cutthroat and nobody really helps anybody. But with musicians, people
Speaker 2: tend to try to kind of work together. Is it
Speaker 2: like that there or is it? I mean, how competitive
Speaker 2: is it in the scene where you are, where you
Speaker 2: guys are operating.
Speaker 5: I think it used to be way more cut throat
Speaker 5: than it is now. So we've we've been playing as
Speaker 5: a band honestly around twelve or thirteen years or so,
Speaker 5: the four of us, the same four guys, So we've
Speaker 5: seen a big change locally, and I think at first
Speaker 5: it was very much nobody talked to each other. Everybody
Speaker 5: went to play the show and you were going to
Speaker 5: put on the best so that everybody was going to
Speaker 5: see that night. And I feel like for the first
Speaker 5: three or four years that was definitely the case. We
Speaker 5: then didn't really gig for well while we were still
Speaker 5: figuring out what we wanted to do, and then when
Speaker 5: we came back to it, there was this complete shift
Speaker 5: and and sort of demeanor and that everybody was now friends.
Speaker 5: Everyone was wanting to put on the best night collectively,
Speaker 5: and I hope that we've kind of we've definitely adjusted
Speaker 5: to that since since all that big change, and I
Speaker 5: hope that our shows people will also come to that
Speaker 5: and feel that and that we are trying to play
Speaker 5: with ours who we love and we think everybody else
Speaker 5: will love if it's our show or actively, we'll we'll
Speaker 5: take slots to play with other bands that offer us
Speaker 5: them if if again they love us, and we all
Speaker 5: think it's the right move for the for the bill
Speaker 5: in full, and it's a much more collaborative effort now
Speaker 5: for live shows.
Speaker 16: I think, Yeah, it's nice to be nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly. And what's we talked about it? We
Speaker 2: touched on it radio. What's the radio situation there for
Speaker 2: a band like you guys, like, are you on the
Speaker 2: radio in your area or how does that work there?
Speaker 16: We're on the radio and around the area.
Speaker 18: Yeah, we had we had to play on Radio X,
Speaker 18: which is quite a big, a big radio stationing around
Speaker 18: the UK. That's that's a rarity that we would get
Speaker 18: something like that, and you've got to jump through quite
Speaker 18: a lot of hoops and it's a bit of a look.
Speaker 18: But in terms of the locality in the very local area. Yeah,
Speaker 18: we're we're on radio stations. People are very supportive. We've
Speaker 18: got BBC introducing Yeah up here, who who have always
Speaker 18: been a.
Speaker 16: Big supporter of us and do a lot for the
Speaker 16: local scene.
Speaker 5: You find that with that as well, you get these
Speaker 5: little random radio shows that you've never heard of. So
Speaker 5: there's one up in the Highlands of Scotland and every
Speaker 5: time we play, every time we release a song, they
Speaker 5: play us like without fail. And then there's a there's
Speaker 5: two or three like that. There's a Welsh speaking one
Speaker 5: which also plays us all the time, which is really
Speaker 5: cool locally though. BBC in Row is a really cool thing,
Speaker 5: but it's kind of being cut back a lot. So
Speaker 5: the most local radio show we have for the BBC now,
Speaker 5: which used to be in Newcastle, is in Teesside, which
Speaker 5: is Middlesbrough's is kind of like an hour out of
Speaker 5: the way, so now it's a regional show rather than
Speaker 5: a local show. Yeah, which is all fine. It's just
Speaker 5: you can see where these changes are happening in the
Speaker 5: starting to take place. But we do get we get
Speaker 5: the support off the radio and we're really thankful and
Speaker 5: we love those teams and they're always really really fun
Speaker 5: to work with too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 2: I was particularly curious because, like I said, you guys
Speaker 2: have such an accessible sound and these these songs. You know,
Speaker 2: at the end of the conversation, we're gonna play Chasing
Speaker 2: the Summer, another great track, and I have to tell
Speaker 2: you later in the show because I mentioned if you're curious, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're we're also gonna play later. We're gonna play Another
Speaker 2: Life and no, I'm sorry, that's the Uh wait.
Speaker 3: Is that the song?
Speaker 5: That is a name of a song? Y?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was another one. There was another one too.
Speaker 2: I'll have to find it. I'll have to find it
Speaker 2: to play it. Oh, Neighborhood that was the other one.
Speaker 5: Oh oh yeah, yeah, they came out together. That was
Speaker 5: a double A side that we did.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, I really like those. I really like those.
Speaker 2: You guys are such a great sound. Tell me a
Speaker 2: little bit about influences. What are you what do you guys?
Speaker 2: What do you listen to? What did you grow up
Speaker 2: listening to that kind of thing?
Speaker 17: I grew up listening to like emo rock and like
Speaker 17: all that sort of stuff. And then I think when
Speaker 17: we so we all pretty much went to high school
Speaker 17: together bon Nathan. He was in separate high school, but
Speaker 17: they Ryan and Nathan lived very very close, so we've
Speaker 17: all known each other growing up. And I think when
Speaker 17: we hit like thirteen fourteen, we were listening to indie
Speaker 17: rock all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 14: I was still listening to emo stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
Speaker 14: Maybe like.
Speaker 17: In the past four years three years, we've been really
Speaker 17: into country music as a collective, like like their modern
Speaker 17: country music artists like so much. And that's kind of
Speaker 17: like now, especially with years, you can kind of hear
Speaker 17: that influence. We're not trying to do it on purpose,
Speaker 17: it's just sort of coming out naturally now.
Speaker 14: So I think country music is kind of an influence now.
Speaker 17: I've also maybe like synth wavy stuff that was that
Speaker 17: was a big part of our sound when we like
Speaker 17: launched as Club Paradise, like that was sort of a
Speaker 17: direction we wanted to head in as well.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think the the one band that sort of
Speaker 16: springs to mind simply what Wise is the Midnight from
Speaker 16: the US, who we we actually went to see in
Speaker 16: Newcastle a couple of weeks ago together. Yeah, so that
Speaker 16: was that was great. But if he's on overly familiar
Speaker 16: with their with their sound.
Speaker 18: I would we well, we would all recommend that band definitely,
Speaker 18: and I think we take a lot of influence from
Speaker 18: from what those guys do.
Speaker 2: I'll have to check them out. Yeah, I was reading
Speaker 2: in your bio about, you know, sort of the country
Speaker 2: rock influence, and it surprised me a little bit. Are
Speaker 2: there are there artists in your area or are there
Speaker 2: UK artists who who kind of are working in that genre,
Speaker 2: or when you listen to that, are you listening to
Speaker 2: American artists? Because because I don't know offhand, I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm really curious about this.
Speaker 16: I don't think I don't think there's any.
Speaker 17: Interesting to get local like folk music, which takes roots
Speaker 17: from country stuff. But we the like the country music
Speaker 17: we are currently just there. It's like Keith Urban, Aaronkinsey,
Speaker 17: Morgan Wallen is a massive one. People like Nate Smith
Speaker 17: as well. I'm just thinking Dereks Bentley as well. We
Speaker 17: love by.
Speaker 14: Luke Bryan, Uh Doughty.
Speaker 17: But even like like Scotty McCreary as well. We we
Speaker 17: all love Scotty McCreary. It's yeah, yeah, we we. I
Speaker 17: mean this is stuff that we genuinely like. Say we're
Speaker 17: on a road trip like we just went to some
Speaker 17: amusement park in the UK. It was like a two
Speaker 17: hour drive. All we would listen to was country music
Speaker 17: on the way there and on the way back Kid
Speaker 17: It's fair.
Speaker 14: We love it.
Speaker 5: It started as like I think between the four of us,
Speaker 5: it started as a bit of a guilty pleasure. I remember, like,
Speaker 5: Jackson has cousins in Canada and their wedding song when
Speaker 5: he went to their wedding in Canada was Florida George Holy.
Speaker 14: Yeah Holy by Florida Georgia Line.
Speaker 5: And then It's I think we kind of listened to
Speaker 5: that song together. After Jackson came back, we were like, WHOA,
Speaker 5: something's going on here, and we were like a teenagers
Speaker 5: at the time that being came this like really big
Speaker 5: guilty pleasure for us all to talk about. And then
Speaker 5: over time it's been like, actually, no, this is just amazing.
Speaker 5: But because it's so kind of alien to the UK
Speaker 5: and that it doesn't exist here, we didn't really.
Speaker 14: Talk about it.
Speaker 5: And now over time, like now on the radio, Morgan
Speaker 5: Mullin's on the radio here, those new tunes worth Post
Speaker 5: Malone that he's been doing, those are getting some tensions.
Speaker 5: So I feel like Country's growing sea to see happens
Speaker 5: over here now. And we've got Absolute Country, which is
Speaker 5: the radio station that is never off in my car,
Speaker 5: and that's got all the shows from Nashville coming live
Speaker 5: to us. So it's growing here and I'm really really
Speaker 5: glad and I feel really passionate about that. It's a
Speaker 5: really really cool thing. Yeah, so yeah, it's all American stuff.
Speaker 18: We've still got some routes in this sort of UK
Speaker 18: indie scene, but there's not a we We grew up
Speaker 18: on Four's Bombay, Bicycle Club, wild that sort of thing,
Speaker 18: and a lot of those bands have called it a day.
Speaker 16: You've still got some of them, nothing about and Were.
Speaker 18: You still listen to a lot about The Monkey's Kings
Speaker 18: of Leon and we're still love those bands and putting out.
Speaker 18: So it was a bit of a dynamic, shifting dynamic
Speaker 18: when all the countries. So I think we'll try and
Speaker 18: blend it subconsciously in what we do.
Speaker 5: There's a flavor of that. I think there's a flavor
Speaker 5: death of those bands with the country stuff with the
Speaker 5: Midnight so you kind of get that synth element. But
Speaker 5: then I also feel like there's a really nice element
Speaker 5: of like Brian Adams in some of the things that
Speaker 5: we do, like in Chasing the Summer, it just gives
Speaker 5: us atmosphere that used to get a lot of stuff,
Speaker 5: maybe even like a Don Henley type of vibe type
Speaker 5: of thing. So I feel like as a as like
Speaker 5: a big melting pot of all those things that come
Speaker 5: together is what we we created.
Speaker 18: It's a shot were in the foot a little bit.
Speaker 18: And because as we've just rattled off about fifty different things,
Speaker 18: sometimes sometimes UK radio stations, certainly the bigger ones.
Speaker 16: One, I think a certain sound and if you're Indy,
Speaker 16: you need to be Indy, you know what I mean?
Speaker 14: And we we don't.
Speaker 18: We don't fit into a certain genre and its conscious
Speaker 18: other bands do, and it's it's it's.
Speaker 16: Been difficult to to pitch where we should be.
Speaker 18: But so that's why it's so kind of yourselves say
Speaker 18: how accessible it is, and we yeah, yeah, well I
Speaker 18: don't think we have that in the forefront of our mind.
Speaker 16: But when you think of the choruses and.
Speaker 5: We'll keep how the someone's we're always told that we're
Speaker 5: not rock enough for rock and we're not popping the foot.
Speaker 5: So it's kind of like, okay, that's fine, but here's
Speaker 5: the music anyways, right right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I can hear the Brian Adams, uh and and
Speaker 2: Don Henley. I can hear those influences in there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the country stuff is interesting that that influence because we
Speaker 2: and and again I'm old enough to remember when it
Speaker 2: wasn't this way, but modern country and I'm not a
Speaker 2: big country fan, but occasionally I'll hear something I like,
Speaker 2: and I'm always very aware of these artists. I try
Speaker 2: to keep up with all of it. But but modern
Speaker 2: country now sounds a lot like you can hear the
Speaker 2: influences of eighties rock in modern country and and the production.
Speaker 2: I always say this again, it's not it's not my
Speaker 2: my first go to on my list of sort of
Speaker 2: genres and sub genres of what I listened to, But
Speaker 2: I listen to a lot of different kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2: But I have to say Nashville, which you know is
Speaker 2: the kind of the epicenter of country music in the
Speaker 2: United States, Nashville's got it down as far as production.
Speaker 2: Like I'm very picky about how drums sound, for example,
Speaker 2: and you listen to any modern country and the drums
Speaker 2: sound exactly the way they should sound. In my opinion.
Speaker 2: You know, everything and the way things are mixed, and
Speaker 2: even the guitars are are louder than they used to be.
Speaker 2: In country music, you can really hear the rock. You know,
Speaker 2: there's there's kind of been this melding that I think
Speaker 2: is really interesting, and I kind of suspect that had
Speaker 2: that not I guess it's chicken or the egg, right,
Speaker 2: you know, is that happening because that helps country to
Speaker 2: be more accessible to the mainstream or or is it
Speaker 2: a reaction to country becoming more accessible on its own?
Speaker 2: But you know, we saw that happen, you know. I
Speaker 2: can remember, you know, back in the nineties when Garth
Speaker 2: Brooks got really big. That was sort of the first
Speaker 2: real wave of country music becoming sort of mainstream. But
Speaker 2: now it's like it's really you hear a lot of
Speaker 2: rock influences in modern country music.
Speaker 17: Yeah, absolutely, when you touch it about like drums and
Speaker 17: guitars as well. That's something that I'm like particularly interested in,
Speaker 17: stuff like the recording process.
Speaker 14: So these.
Speaker 17: Last few songs that we've put out were pretty much
Speaker 17: recorded independently, and I'm massive on guitar tones, and I like,
Speaker 17: I look up what people are using and I remember
Speaker 17: a unique project I did. It's so long ago a way,
Speaker 17: I was just essentially researching Blackbird Studios, which is in Nashville,
Speaker 17: and I was just like reading about Studio A and
Speaker 17: Studio B, and like what the drums will sound like
Speaker 17: in each room, and and then like they have like
Speaker 17: a client list and then like a record list, and
Speaker 17: you know, you listen to some of the people that
Speaker 17: have recorded in the like Kings of William was the
Speaker 17: big one for me, which is why I got into them.
Speaker 17: But like, I think Hayes has recorded their Rascal Flats
Speaker 17: as well. We love the Rascal Flats. I think they
Speaker 17: definitely hit the pop and the rock pop sort of thing.
Speaker 17: And I know what you mean, like it it you
Speaker 17: listen to like stuff from the nineties that Cole Swindon,
Speaker 17: he did a What's What's what song?
Speaker 14: Did he just do?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 14: She had me heads Carolina?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 17: So obviously you listen to the original of that and
Speaker 17: the instrumental, like the parts are the same, but they
Speaker 17: recorded so differently and so like it's so everything's like
Speaker 17: hyper and now like everything's so big compared to maybe
Speaker 17: more understated of the original. So I get and I
Speaker 17: understand what you mean, things are changing, like they are
Speaker 17: getting just bigger.
Speaker 3: And more.
Speaker 17: Like you said eighties eighties rock influenced, where everything was
Speaker 17: just big and massive, and maybe I think you might
Speaker 17: start like we see it over here. A lot of
Speaker 17: the music coming out, Like in the UK, drums are
Speaker 17: really quiet and understated. There's a lot of like snare
Speaker 17: drums with towels on, you know, like everything's going to
Speaker 17: be quite more mute. I think maybe the trend and
Speaker 17: the UK at least is going to go back from
Speaker 17: big eighties stuff to more natural sounding I'm using air quotes,
Speaker 17: but natural sound and drums. But with the air with
Speaker 17: US radio rock, it's just full throttle now right, But
Speaker 17: we love that.
Speaker 5: I think it's funny. We were in the studio a
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago doing some new stuff and we
Speaker 5: just pulled up country rock drums said like, this is
Speaker 5: the reference, this is the sound we want, and we're
Speaker 5: going to set the drum kit up to sound exactly
Speaker 5: like this. Yeah, it's good fun. I think there's also
Speaker 5: I think you're right, like there's an element that couldn't
Speaker 5: you want to be more accessible and more mainstream in general.
Speaker 5: But I also think that part of the reason it
Speaker 5: sounds that way is there's a lot of sampling going
Speaker 5: on now, and that's a good speed thing. So we've
Speaker 5: had friends who've gone to Nashville to do writing sessions
Speaker 5: and writing camps, and they talk about how fast it
Speaker 5: is in Nashville that already sits around in a circle
Speaker 5: and throws a lyric out and the next lerik that
Speaker 5: comes out is the one that's going to follow that one.
Speaker 5: So it's not debated, it just goes on and on
Speaker 5: and on. That sounds so alien to us, It sounds crazy,
Speaker 5: But I think that maybe's the tone of the drums
Speaker 5: and all these different sampled instruments and the access you
Speaker 5: have to do in things digitally now, that speed that
Speaker 5: they've created in these writing camps might sort of blend
Speaker 5: with that pace that you can get from the sound
Speaker 5: of the drums if they do sort of sample the
Speaker 5: kits and recreate them that way too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, Nashville. You know, we've we've
Speaker 2: had guests on the show, we've spent some time in Nashville,
Speaker 2: and uh, either you know, either just short trips to
Speaker 2: just write and record, or or people who've lived there
Speaker 2: for a while and yeah, they do things like you
Speaker 2: know they have, Yeah, the these writing sessions that like
Speaker 2: you described, are very fast and and and these songwriting circles.
Speaker 2: You know, they all they'll sit in a circle, or
Speaker 2: they'll do this live, you know, where they'll they'll be
Speaker 2: in a in a club and they're they're writing songs
Speaker 2: live in front of a crowd. You know, almost like
Speaker 2: what a stand up comedian does when they go to
Speaker 2: say an open mic, and they they're just kind of
Speaker 2: workshopping new material.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: It's really interesting because I don't know if anywhere else
Speaker 2: where they they approach it that way. And how nerve
Speaker 2: racking that must be. I'm a musician myself, but I
Speaker 2: can't imagine like being in front of a crowd of
Speaker 2: people with other musicians and writing something on the spot,
Speaker 2: and you know, you're in front of people, so it
Speaker 2: better be good. But uh yeah, I mean that's like
Speaker 2: the Nashville is like, you know, that's like boot camp
Speaker 2: for musicians.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you would not catch me doing that.
Speaker 2: And uh so, now where do you guys record? Because
Speaker 2: this all sounds like it was done in a million
Speaker 2: dollar recording studio, but as as we know it, again,
Speaker 2: we live in a time where it's you know, you've
Speaker 2: got a lot of different options in terms of how
Speaker 2: you record.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so we we tend to so.
Speaker 17: Since maybe since twenty twenty, we've we've kind of recorded
Speaker 17: at least guitars and vocals, just.
Speaker 14: No real amps. It's all simulated stuff.
Speaker 17: So it's bedroom like half, maybe sixty percent of the
Speaker 17: song is bedroom stuff. The only thing that we tracked
Speaker 17: live now is drums, like in a in a studio space,
Speaker 17: just because we can't anywhere else. But and it saves money, Like,
Speaker 17: we have the ability to do it at home, so
Speaker 17: why don't we We've had we've had fifteen years of
Speaker 17: experience as a band. We kind of know what we're
Speaker 17: after at this point. And now technology is caught up
Speaker 17: to where we can just do it at home. And
Speaker 17: you know, some people might hear that the guitars aren't real.
Speaker 17: Some people might not, Oh, but I mean I spent
Speaker 17: them live. When when it comes to like tracking guitars
Speaker 17: and stuff, we just do it at home. But drums,
Speaker 17: drums were always in the local studios we've we've actually
Speaker 17: been through a few of them in the Northeast at
Speaker 17: the moment, just trying to find where we work best.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's nice to change it up as well though, because, yeah,
Speaker 5: Jackson's pretty modest in that jack for Neighborhood and Another Life.
Speaker 5: Jackson produced all of that, and Yeah, to say that
Speaker 5: we did all of that at home other than the
Speaker 5: drums and it's come out sounding like that is insane.
Speaker 5: We had some help with the marstering at the end
Speaker 5: and things like that, but yeah, really the full body
Speaker 5: of that work came out from Jacksonston at home with
Speaker 5: headphones on, just mixing at home and really just digging
Speaker 5: into that. It's really really fun to go into different
Speaker 5: studios and work with different people and to see how
Speaker 5: what they say about drim kits and also to just
Speaker 5: see how when we showed them the song as a
Speaker 5: reference what we're doing, they're kind of like, okay, cool,
Speaker 5: what about this and we just learn. I think that's
Speaker 5: that's one thing that we always do, no matter where
Speaker 5: we record, if it's at home or whatever it is,
Speaker 5: song by song, we try and do something different, and
Speaker 5: we're always trying to research and learn about the best
Speaker 5: way to bring the elements of that song out that
Speaker 5: make it stand on its own.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing what you can do now. In fact,
Speaker 2: the shirt that I'm wearing for those watching online day
Speaker 2: to attend. We had these guys on a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago, and U and I said something similar to
Speaker 2: them because their stuff sounds so good. It sounds like
Speaker 2: it was done in a million dollar recording studio. And
Speaker 2: Ed the guitar player is telling me, yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: even plug into an amp. I just you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, you plug into a model or whatever term,
Speaker 2: and it's just it's it's incredible what you can do now.
Speaker 2: It really is a it's an amazing time to be alive,
Speaker 2: especially if you're a musician. So you guys, yeah, except
Speaker 2: for the money, well yeah, true, that never seems to change.
Speaker 2: What the time period, right, Yeah, that that's true. It's
Speaker 2: always been a problem unless you're you know, unless you're famous.
Speaker 2: But you know, if your tailor swift, then you then
Speaker 2: you get all the money. But uh, by the way,
Speaker 2: did you guys say what have you said? Fifteen years?
Speaker 2: You guys have been together.
Speaker 18: Yeah, we've not been paradise for that long, but yeah,
Speaker 18: we've we've it's been the same for four guys.
Speaker 16: As Jackson said earlier, I mean me and Ryan grew up.
Speaker 18: In the same street, and Jackson and Harry grew up
Speaker 18: a couple of doors down from each other. They all
