Speaker 5: August twenty four, two thousand and twenty four, and joining
Speaker 5: us live in studio, we do have the members of
Speaker 5: Under the Horizon. We have Matt Jordan and is he
Speaker 5: did I get everyone's name correctly? Yes? Welcome, welcome, and Matt,
Speaker 5: you've got a proud, proud papa in studio with you. Yes,
Speaker 5: he doesn't want to be on a microphone. But I
Speaker 5: know this man very well from back in the day. Yes,
Speaker 5: wonderful to see him. And he looks and he looks
Speaker 5: the same. He hasn't changed, which is cool.
Speaker 8: I get that a lot. Actually, I hear that he
Speaker 8: looks pretty similar other than the.
Speaker 5: Hair, right right, Well, yeah, that's that's true of all
Speaker 5: of us. But right, but because when I run into people,
Speaker 5: when I see people I haven't seen in a really
Speaker 5: long time, I just expect them to be like, you know,
Speaker 5: not the same. Sure, but he looks the same, which
Speaker 5: is the which is which is really cool. But uh no,
Speaker 5: I love that track. Now the three well, actually, so
Speaker 5: what does everybody do in the band? So, Matt, you're the.
Speaker 4: Drummer, Yes, I am drummer and vocalist.
Speaker 5: Drummer and vocalist and Jordan guitarists, some vocals and some
Speaker 5: vocals and vocalists. Okay, that's now. What's interesting about that
Speaker 5: is so and you probably hear this all the time.
Speaker 5: There's not a lot of singing bass players for whatever
Speaker 5: reason the sun. But we were talking about that with
Speaker 5: our our guests in the previous hour, Ian Hemy his
Speaker 5: project Silicon Kong. He's a singing bass player, but it's
Speaker 5: not something you see a lot of for for whatever reason.
Speaker 5: But so, yeah, is it Is it just the three
Speaker 5: of you on all the recordings because you sound for
Speaker 5: a three piece and you probably hear this a lot too,
Speaker 5: but for a trio, you got a big sound.
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, Yeah, it's just the three of us, and
Speaker 8: we kind of we thought about adding like another guitars
Speaker 8: into the mix, you know, like a lot of bands
Speaker 8: that rhath them in a lead guitarist. But part of
Speaker 8: the reason why we started this band was because we
Speaker 8: were aggravated with the difficulties of our previous bands. That
Speaker 8: we were already in, so we're like, we don't want
Speaker 8: to add anyone to complicate the mix.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So yeah, it's just the three of us. We all
Speaker 8: really trying to kind of work together to create our sound,
Speaker 8: and on the album, we wanted, like you said, a
Speaker 8: big sound, but we also wanted it to not sound
Speaker 8: impossible to achieve live, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, is that ever a challenge?
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 9: I mean there's definitely, there's definitely sometimes where like it
Speaker 9: feels a little different, but for the most part, it
Speaker 9: seems pretty full like live.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is that is By the way, I have
Speaker 5: to compliment you well, I think I mentioned it too
Speaker 5: when you walked in. But your shirt Ace Frehley thing.
Speaker 5: Kiss is my all time favorite band and I love Ace.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh very cool, very cool. Yeah, ten thousand volts.
Speaker 5: I remember when that came out and it people were
Speaker 5: kind of surprised that it was as successful as it was.
Speaker 9: You know, I mean it sounded was it compared to
Speaker 9: his last albums, Like it sounded a little different. It
Speaker 9: had a different vibe to it. Yeah, how I was
Speaker 9: produced and stuff, and his voice was a lot more.
Speaker 9: It seemed like he was doing a lot more actual
Speaker 9: thinging than talking into the bike and being like New York.
Speaker 5: York, right right, I agree, I agree? So how long
Speaker 5: has this existed? This spand how long have the three
Speaker 5: of you been been doing this?
Speaker 10: Almost a year now, like I think late September will
Speaker 10: be a year.
Speaker 5: So okay, well that's impressive that you know it's it's
Speaker 5: been under a year and you've already got how many
Speaker 5: tracks are on the album? Nine?
Speaker 2: Nine?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And oh and for people watching online here, let me
Speaker 5: put the overhead camera on so I can show so
Speaker 5: Mike gave me a copy of this under the horizon,
Speaker 5: and uh, I'll kind of hold that up for the camera.
Speaker 5: Probably i'll hold it up in pictures too afterward. But
Speaker 5: who did the I like the artwork? Who did the artwork?
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess I guess I would be the
Speaker 8: culprit of that, but it wasn't. I will admit we
Speaker 8: didn't like hand draw that We used AI because I
Speaker 8: saw a lot of the stuff that people were doing
Speaker 8: with AI, creating images and all that, and I liked
Speaker 8: how it could create a somewhat surreal scenario, like almost
Speaker 8: something you would see in a dream because it's not perfect,
Speaker 8: you know, it's it's different, nothing's exact, everything's a little
Speaker 8: mismatched and all that. So we used we came up
Speaker 8: with that or we got that from AI when we
Speaker 8: were trying to figure out album covers and we just
Speaker 8: really liked it and we're like, you know what, let's
Speaker 8: embrace this new technology here.
Speaker 4: And that's what you see on the album cover there.
Speaker 10: There is artwork though on the actual disc.
Speaker 5: Yes, oh no kidding, okay, yeah, okay, cool. I'm such
Speaker 5: a nerd for this stuff. Do you remember, like what
Speaker 5: kind of prompts you used to get that? Do you remember?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 4: I think it was like a.
Speaker 8: It was like a setting called like Halloween, oh themed
Speaker 8: or something like that, because we wanted to go something
Speaker 8: like kind of gothy, kind of metal, kind of you know,
Speaker 8: to fit with our sound. So I got that and
Speaker 8: I got a couple of images and I sent them
Speaker 8: all to the band and they were like, yeah, we
Speaker 8: like that one. So yeah, just ended up being the cover.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I dig it. I know that's an odd question.
Speaker 5: Probably you know, you don't expect to be asked, you know,
Speaker 5: what kind of prompts did you use?
Speaker 10: I think It's a good question because I didn't know
Speaker 10: that you.
Speaker 5: Had to do. Yeah. Yeah, we're so fascinated around here
Speaker 5: by AI in general. It's something Jenny and I talked
Speaker 5: about a lot on the show is AI and the
Speaker 5: impact on the music industry and how people are using
Speaker 5: it to create And No, that's very very cool. Where
Speaker 5: was the where's the picture on the back of course
Speaker 5: as a band photo? Where was that taken?
Speaker 4: My backyard?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, we were taking that was before we filmed the
Speaker 8: video for our song Orches in the Sunrise, and we
Speaker 8: were just like, let's take band pictures, you know, because
Speaker 8: we're all done up or whatever and nice clothes or
Speaker 8: metal clothes, whatever you want to say. Yeah, And we
Speaker 8: were just going around my house taking photos and we
Speaker 8: went out back to that truck that I'm leaning up against.
Speaker 8: That's a project truck of mine that I'm working on,
Speaker 8: and we were just random took the picture and we
Speaker 8: were looking through and we're like, wow, that's actually a
Speaker 8: really good photo of us. Let's use that on the
Speaker 8: back cover.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh, we had a question I don't want to forget too,
Speaker 5: and Jenny mentioned it. There's a question in the chat room.
Speaker 5: Alan McIntyre joins us in the chat and says, ask,
Speaker 5: is he what her favorite song by Vixen is?
Speaker 4: Lol, it's between us.
Speaker 5: You don't have a favorite Vixen song? How dare you?
Speaker 10: I did get to meet Britt Lightning though, did you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 10: In February?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh, because they just played at uh they was
Speaker 5: it at the Tupelo. They just played there, right, because
Speaker 5: it was because we had a band on, Purging Sin.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you know Purging Sin.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Actually they they opened they when they were here on
Speaker 5: the show a couple of months ago. They were talking
Speaker 5: about opening for Vixen, which was weird. Weird to me
Speaker 5: because Purging Sin they're very dark and heavy. Yeah, and uh,
Speaker 5: I'm like, you you did, but I think that they did,
Speaker 5: and I think it was at the Tupelo. But uh, yeah,
Speaker 5: so you met Britt Lightning?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I did, like this rock and roll fantasy camp in
Speaker 10: l A. Yeah, to meet like people who actually made
Speaker 10: it in the industry, Like.
Speaker 5: So you you went to one of those? Oh no kidding.
Speaker 10: I got to meet Nancy Wilson as well.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I was gonna say, yeah, she must be yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: who else? Who else was there?
Speaker 10: I mean there was like a really good handful. There
Speaker 10: was a couple of people like that were there. To me,
Speaker 10: like they had the brothers of St. P. And I
Speaker 10: mean also some of the counselors that were there. Yeah,
Speaker 10: I mean there's a lot of good people. There was
Speaker 10: a basis of La Guns. His name is Johnny Martin. Yeah,
Speaker 10: he was like a kind of the person who ran
Speaker 10: my little group because we had there was a couple
Speaker 10: of bands that we uh at the camp and we
Speaker 10: played at the Viper Room and the Tribudour.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah. I always see I see videos of these
Speaker 5: these rock and roll fantasy camps online and they look
Speaker 5: they look really fun. So what so when you say
Speaker 5: you're a little group, so what what? What did they
Speaker 5: divide everyone into groups and then you had like one
Speaker 5: of these one of these famous rock stars kind of
Speaker 5: runs the group and and uh and then what is
Speaker 5: there is there a process of like you all write
Speaker 5: a song together or no, we more just like.
Speaker 10: Pick a couple of songs to work on between, like
Speaker 10: like it's about four days.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we performed them.
Speaker 10: I mean I was with the other teenagers. Okay, we're
Speaker 10: all teens.
Speaker 5: Oh very cool?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 5: How many days, is it?
Speaker 10: I think mine was four days?
Speaker 5: Oh no kidding, Wow, that's wild, that's wild. What uh
Speaker 5: why did you? Why did you like? What motivated you
Speaker 5: to to go and and do that?
Speaker 10: Well? I actually had gotten it as a gift, but
Speaker 10: oh mostly to meet Nancy Wilson.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, huge, Yeah, Yeah, that's that's very cool.
Speaker 3: Is she?
Speaker 5: I mean, is she an influence on you vocally? Or
Speaker 5: I mean I would think Anne Wilson would probably be
Speaker 5: a big influence. Yeah, huge, yeah, yeah, no doubt. Who
Speaker 5: else has an influence on you in terms of your vocals?
Speaker 10: I would say, uh, Pat bennettar a lot and a
Speaker 10: bit of Jon Jet as well.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, yeah, oh that's cool. That's cool. Now what
Speaker 5: about you, Jordan in terms of obviously A's Frehley, Yeah,
Speaker 5: a big influence. Who else influences you on guitar?
Speaker 9: In terms of a guitar, I'd say like some van Halen, Yeah,
Speaker 9: Eddie van Halen definitely really influential, all the tapping and
Speaker 9: all that stuff. I've gotten some things about how there's
Speaker 9: Randy Rhodes type stuff my guitar playing, which like I
Speaker 9: do like Randy Rhodes, so i'd say him too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kirk Hammett, you know people like that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they I think what makes them so special is
Speaker 9: they take sometimes they can take fairly simple things and
Speaker 9: they'll put it in the song as a solo and
Speaker 9: make it fit, which is like a pretty good skill
Speaker 9: to have, you know, like, just because it's fast and
Speaker 9: flashy doesn't mean it's good.
Speaker 5: You know, right right, Yeah, No, I know what you mean,
Speaker 5: and I can hear. I can hear the Kirk Hammett
Speaker 5: and your solos. I can definitely hear that.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what about you, Matt as far as drums and
Speaker 5: or vocal because you sing too.
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, oh god, there's a lot. I mean, my
Speaker 8: primary influence for drums, I mean a lot of people
Speaker 8: laugh when I say it, but I'll say because it's true. Uh,
Speaker 8: it's Lars Ulrik from Metallica. I saw Metallica when I
Speaker 8: was like ten, and for some reason, something about Lars
Speaker 8: up on stage behind the drum set, it.
Speaker 4: Just really inspired me to play.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so then I picked it up, and I mean
Speaker 8: I'm influenced by him and Joey Jordison A slip nood,
Speaker 8: all the drummers a slip nood. Really, they're all great Vinny,
Speaker 8: Paul neil Pert, you know, all the good guys who
Speaker 8: give you a lot to listen to on the drum set,
Speaker 8: right right. Yeah, And vocally, i'd say my primary influences
Speaker 8: are James Hetfield and Corey Taylor.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I can hear the Corey Taylor.
Speaker 4: Oh thank you. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, definitely. And in terms of the songwriting, I mean,
Speaker 5: how how does that work in the span? Do all
Speaker 5: write together? Does somebody bring in an idea and you
Speaker 5: I think what happened?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a mix of It's definitely like one person
Speaker 9: will come in with lyrics or they'll have Like with
Speaker 9: Izzy Want You, she had the lyrics and she had
Speaker 9: the you know bass notes, you know, whatever the notes were,
Speaker 9: and I was like, it kind of just formed together.
Speaker 9: He came up with this drum part on the spot.
Speaker 9: I made my own guitar part, and we kind of
Speaker 9: just experimented a couple of times, ran it, you know
Speaker 9: through three or four times, maybe that quick.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it comes together really fast. It's surprising.
Speaker 5: Well that's that's when you know you've really got something right.
Speaker 5: The song's coming together quickly, and then you know you
Speaker 5: know you've got that that magic.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I assume some of these songs because you know,
Speaker 5: some of them are you know, that's a fairly straightforward song.
Speaker 5: But some of them are are pretty complex. I mean,
Speaker 5: I would imagine the more complex ones take longer or
Speaker 5: maybe not.
Speaker 8: I mean, realistically, all the songs that we have wrote,
Speaker 8: I mean, we're at max took us an hour to
Speaker 8: write and get fully played with, you know, all of
Speaker 8: us together, or at the very least the instrumental part
Speaker 8: of it. Obviously, lyrics come later with some songs, but
Speaker 8: I mean most of the stuff that we have done,
Speaker 8: I mean there were days that we wrote three or
Speaker 8: four songs in a day within the span of a
Speaker 8: four hour practice.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, it wasn't it Like it was better in
Speaker 9: and out? And I'm pretty sure it was. It might
Speaker 9: have been within my eyes. I'm not sure though, Yeah, something. Yeah,
Speaker 9: because we all, you know, because we were all three
Speaker 9: of us used to be in cover bands. Yeah, Me
Speaker 9: and Jordan were in a cover band together, and Izzy
Speaker 9: was in a cover band. And actually how me and
Speaker 9: Izzy met was that both of our cover bands played
Speaker 9: in a Battle of the Bands together. Oh wow, and
Speaker 9: we both met up afterwards I'm like, hey, you're really
Speaker 9: good atvocals, and she's like, yeah, you're really good at drums.
Speaker 9: So we just kind of like okay, And then years
Speaker 9: later we decided let's form something here. So we were
Speaker 9: in our own cover band, so we had all this
Speaker 9: time to come up with these riffs and songs and
Speaker 9: lyrics and stuff for the day that we were eventually
Speaker 9: in an original band, but we wanted to be in
Speaker 9: So it all came together really quickly. And I mean
Speaker 9: we've already started writing for the second album. We have
Speaker 9: like half of it already, no kidding.
Speaker 10: Wow, I'd say we wrote most of our songs, Like
Speaker 10: we wrote the eight songs that we have the original
Speaker 10: within like three or four months, no kidding. Yeah, we
Speaker 10: started recording in April, so right, yeah, yeah, three months
Speaker 10: I think yep.
Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, talking about influences, somebody in the
Speaker 5: chat room made me realize I think it was I
Speaker 5: think it was Alan McIntyre. Oh, yeah, mentioned I never
Speaker 5: asked you about bass. I'm a bass player, so I
Speaker 5: can't believe I forgot to ask you about your influences
Speaker 5: on base. I am curious.
Speaker 10: I mean, I guess, like my basslines aren't really too
Speaker 10: complex because I'd say I do vocal like I focus
Speaker 10: more on the vocals.
Speaker 5: Yeah, per se.
Speaker 10: I mean there are a lot of great bassis that
Speaker 10: I love, but it is a bit difficult to sing
Speaker 10: and play the bass, which is why I feel you
Speaker 10: find a lot less.
Speaker 5: And vocalists interesting. Yeah see keep it fairly simple, Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: what about like do you approach it any differently? Like
Speaker 5: if if Matt's singing, do you approach that any differently
Speaker 5: as far as your bass or do you.
Speaker 10: I mean like as of like like our first album,
Speaker 10: it's still not too complex, but I'm definitely getting more
Speaker 10: into the creative writing for basslines.
Speaker 5: Okay, Isaac Banks is asking, uh, and this isn't anyone
Speaker 5: you would know? We we, Jenny and I are very
Speaker 5: familiar with Isaac Banks, aren't we? Isaac Banks is asking
Speaker 5: is he? Who are your influence?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 5: What's your favorite Evanescence song? Do you have a favorite
Speaker 5: Evanescence song? Probably more likely that you have a favorite
Speaker 5: Evanescence than Vixen.
Speaker 10: Right now, it's going under. I love that song vocally,
Speaker 10: It's amazing.
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, Amy Lee's a great She's a great singer. Definitely,
Speaker 5: absolutely absolutely. Now in terms of in terms of the
Speaker 5: band and like, do you all as a band, do
Speaker 5: you have a particular vibe or a particular sound that
Speaker 5: you try to achieve or is it more it's organic?
Speaker 5: It's how does that? How does that work?
Speaker 10: I mean, I think you have a various amount of sounds.
Speaker 10: All of her songs are kind of different, but they
Speaker 10: all still sound like they're made by us.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think my dad he was.
Speaker 9: I think he might have been like one of the
Speaker 9: first people to be like yeah, I mean all the
Speaker 9: songs are like really unique, but they all have a
Speaker 9: specific touch to them that makes it like ident you know,
Speaker 9: has some identification to us.
Speaker 4: Yeahich is like great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have a.
Speaker 9: Different sound on every song, which makes the album seem
Speaker 9: a little more like experimental, I guess.
Speaker 4: But you can still be like, oh yeah, this is
Speaker 4: that one band.
Speaker 9: It's not like there's features on the band or random
Speaker 9: people just coming in and playing songs or songs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's definitely.
Speaker 8: I'd say that our sound is definitely more metal focused,
Speaker 8: or at least we're you know, aiming to be more
Speaker 8: considered a metal band. But even then, you know, we
Speaker 8: have a lot of influences outside of you know, the
Speaker 8: basic rock and metal, but even within that, we like
Speaker 8: bands that often you know, you wouldn't picture their fans
Speaker 8: being in the same room, right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8: I don't think there's a lot of dinner parties happening
Speaker 8: with Heart fans, Kiss fans and like, I don't know,
Speaker 8: Slayer fans or something like that. You know, I'm using
Speaker 8: that as an example, but I mean, I think from
Speaker 8: the beginning, with all our influences combined, we kind of
Speaker 8: tried to create something like if Heart was written by
Speaker 8: like Slipknot or something like that, you know, something heavy
Speaker 8: but with a little bit of like glam Edge of
Speaker 8: the Past or something like that. You know, something a
Speaker 8: sound that most people can listen to. You know, we'd
Speaker 8: you know, kind of like your second ever metal band
Speaker 8: you're listening to or whatever, something like that.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Well, what I think too is cool about about your
Speaker 5: sound and a band like this is there's a timelessness
Speaker 5: to it because you know, if you if you just
Speaker 5: played this for me and I didn't know anything about you,
Speaker 5: and you said, when do you think this was recorded?
Speaker 5: I wouldn't know, you know, it's it could have been yesterday,
Speaker 5: it could have been thirty years ago. There's there's a
Speaker 5: timelessness to it that I think is really cool. Well,
Speaker 5: thank you, yeah, oh absolutely. Are you playing a lot
Speaker 5: of shows? Are you doing a lot of live stuff
Speaker 5: or yeah?
Speaker 8: Actually, funny enough, we're doing a show tonight. You were
Speaker 8: doing one with two other bands, Tainted Hearts and Day
Speaker 8: to Attend.
Speaker 5: Oh, we have them on the show recently. Did you
Speaker 5: love Day to Attend? We've had them on a couple
Speaker 5: of times. Oh, they're amazing. I love Jeff's voice and
Speaker 5: the new album is so good. Yeah, it's so good
Speaker 5: that they have this one song not coming back. It
Speaker 5: gets stuck in my head, like some days I wake
Speaker 5: up with it in my brain. Yeah, I love Sorry,

Speaker 8: situation there that I well, I mean, I guess so. Yeah,
Speaker 8: Like it's kind of like our little I guess mascot.
Speaker 4: You could say, we.
Speaker 8: Don't even have like a name for it yet or anything,
Speaker 8: but it's just something I it's something I honestly like
Speaker 8: sketched out in a little piece of notebook paper and
Speaker 8: sent to them.
Speaker 4: They're like, we love that. Yeah, yeah, so, yeah, I
Speaker 4: guess it's our logo mascot. I don't really know.
Speaker 5: I will I will see it in my nightmares this evening.
Speaker 5: But no, no, that's cool though. That's cool. Yeah, And
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you've got plenty of time to
Speaker 5: you know, over time, you can always maybe come up
Speaker 5: with a backstory or whatever, give it a give it
Speaker 5: a name, you know, like, yeah, no, that's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 5: And I like the Yeah, I like that. Where does
Speaker 5: the name come from? By the way, under the horizon?
Speaker 9: It's funny, we can't so when we first started to
Speaker 9: like write originals.
Speaker 6: We were like, yeah, we need a name. We came
Speaker 6: up with all these names.
Speaker 9: I think one that I remember is you came up
Speaker 9: with just In because you want like new generation of
Speaker 9: you know, artists or whatever.
Speaker 5: I went on, wait, wait, what was it going to be?
Speaker 4: It was going to be just In.
Speaker 9: I went on to Google and started up like cool
Speaker 9: band names or whatever, and it came up with over
Speaker 9: the Horizon or something or over a Horizon.
Speaker 4: I didn't like that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I was like under undersounds gloomy, undersounds metal. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 9: so and I came back and I was like, hey,
Speaker 9: what do you think about under the Horizon?
Speaker 4: And everybody was like, oh, yeah, you know, it's cool,
Speaker 4: we like it.
Speaker 9: It wasn't until Izy wrote the title track under the
Speaker 9: Horizon we were really like had a meaning behind it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Did you did you go
Speaker 5: through any others that you kind of could? I love
Speaker 5: hearing about rejected band names. Were there were there any others?
Speaker 5: Or did that one present itself pretty early?
Speaker 9: I think you had some. I was gonna say, I
Speaker 9: feel like I contributed some, but I can't. They must
Speaker 9: have been so bad that I can't.
Speaker 4: What they are.
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say they were bad.
Speaker 6: It was just they were a lot more I don't know,
Speaker 6: didn't have that ring to it.
Speaker 4: They didn't have that. They were very like I.
Speaker 9: Don't want to say stock metal names, but they had
Speaker 9: a very like predictable type of name to it. Yeah,
Speaker 9: they were cool, but like right, it wasn't what we
Speaker 9: were looking for, right, They didn't really fit our style
Speaker 9: because I guess to me, with my musical influences, I
Speaker 9: always thought that the original band that I was going
Speaker 9: to end up in was gonna be the next Slayer,
Speaker 9: the next Pantera, the next you know whatever.
Speaker 8: So I came up with all these names with like
Speaker 8: blood and like all this you know, angry violent things,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean in metal music, And then
Speaker 8: you know, here it was like, well, it's not just metal,
Speaker 8: it's not just speed, it's not just death, it's not whatever,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, it's all these it's a
Speaker 8: what's that word, I don't know, A melting pot of
Speaker 8: all our influences. Yeah, yeah, oh a crucible. That's the
Speaker 8: ten dollars vocabulary word for that one, right there. Yeah,
Speaker 8: well played, sir, of all our musical influences, so my
Speaker 8: names didn't really work, but yeah, under the Horizon came
Speaker 8: and it was like, yeah, yeah, that fits for us.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean part of the challenge too, when when
Speaker 5: naming the band is trying to find something that nobody
Speaker 5: else already has or you know, so so you don't
Speaker 5: get in any trouble. You know, obviously there was a
Speaker 5: time and you know he's old enough to remember too,
Speaker 5: when you know, when you couldn't just go online and
Speaker 5: just google something and just you know, figure out if
Speaker 5: somebody else already already has it. So I tell this
Speaker 5: story a lot. I went to high school with and
Speaker 5: he might even be listening. Xander Carlson really really talented guitarist.
Speaker 5: I think he's still active in the scene. But and
Speaker 5: he and I were in a band in high school,
Speaker 5: just kind of briefly, but I ran into him after
Speaker 5: high school and he had a band called he telling
Speaker 5: me about this new band he's in. He said, Uh,
Speaker 5: it's called Intuition. And he said that to me, and
Speaker 5: immediately I'm thinking, God, somebody's intuition. It's too obvious. It's
Speaker 5: probably already a thousand bands that are already out there
Speaker 5: using that name, and I swear to god, I ran
Speaker 5: into him again. I just happened to run into We
Speaker 5: shopped at the same convenience store. I run into him again,
Speaker 5: like six months later, and I asked him how's the band?
Speaker 5: And he goes, oh, good, But we had to change
Speaker 5: our name because we heard from some cover band in Massachusetts.
Speaker 5: They're they're already using the name and they don't want
Speaker 5: us using it. And and I, you know, I'm too
Speaker 5: polite to say it, but in my mind I'm thinking, yeah,
Speaker 5: no kidding, but of course that happened. You called the
Speaker 5: band intuition, you know, But uh no, but I think
Speaker 5: under the Horizons a very very cool name. We should, Uh,
Speaker 5: let's play another track? What but I'm gonna put you
Speaker 5: on the spot. I'll let you pick what would uh
Speaker 5: what would you like to uh to hear next or
Speaker 5: to share with the audience?
Speaker 6: Maybe in and out, in and out.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a good catch you one for all of
Speaker 8: you out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I like that one. I like I said,
Speaker 5: I listened to the whole thing, and that's that's also
Speaker 5: one of the ones that stood out to me. Are
Speaker 5: these all available? Are Are these on Spotify and everything?
Speaker 5: For people who want to hear them.
Speaker 8: Yes, every streaming platform that you could possibly think of,
Speaker 8: the album's there. And also if you still listen to
Speaker 8: physical music, which I know it's a rare breed out there,
Speaker 8: but for those of you that want to buy a CD,
Speaker 8: you can not only buy it off of our website
Speaker 8: under the Horizon dot org, but also it's on sale
Speaker 8: at all Bull Moose locations, Good Music Connection down the
Speaker 8: Road in Manchester, and Pitchfork and Conquered and also, funnily enough,
Speaker 8: Tenny farm Stand in Antrim, New Hampshire. Yeah, kind of
Speaker 8: a it's weird to think of a metal band CD
Speaker 8: going on sale and a farm stand.
Speaker 5: But do they have a CD section?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 8: Actually we're the first CD they've ever sold. Yeah, but
Speaker 8: you know we're what Yeah, they're actually our best selling location.
Speaker 8: We were friends with the owner of it and he
Speaker 8: wanted to support so we're like, you want to sell
Speaker 8: our CDs? Like yeah, sure, So it's on sale, so
Speaker 8: you know you can buy cucumbers and corn and then

Speaker 5: Connorton Unleashed. And for those of us who are just
Speaker 5: joining us, uh so you've got you've got a show tonight.
Speaker 5: We should uh we should mention that again for for
Speaker 5: people just tuning in.
Speaker 8: Yeah, show tonight, Rochester Performing Arts Center, all ages, ten
Speaker 8: dollars cover charge and the doors open at seven. We're
Speaker 8: playing with Day to a ten, which we talked about previously.
Speaker 4: Great band.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and uh, actually we're playing with another band, a
Speaker 8: cover band that Izz He's in called Tainted Hearts.
Speaker 4: Oh cool, yeaty.
Speaker 5: Cool, pretty cool? What's so?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Tell us about that? Do you does Tainted Hearts do
Speaker 5: a lot of shows? And what do you? What kind
Speaker 5: of covers do you do?
Speaker 10: Well, we haven't been together for too long, but we
Speaker 10: did play a show actually at the r PAC and
Speaker 10: we also played one at the Old Home Day. But
Speaker 10: we do mostly like rock, like more poppier rock cover songs.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, cool cool?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 5: Now what about you guys? Are either of you in
Speaker 5: other projects as well?
Speaker 4: Or I'm in a lot, so Jordan you go first?
Speaker 5: Of course you are. You're a drummer, right, yeah, I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 6: I think the only other projects that I'm in is
Speaker 6: a cover band that he's also in, Room three oh one.
Speaker 9: We kind of we covered. I don't really think we
Speaker 9: have a specific genre that we stick to. We just
Speaker 9: cover whatever is a hit song.
Speaker 8: And okay, yeah, yeah, it's a student lead rock cover
Speaker 8: band that's actually connected to our high school. Yeah, the
Speaker 8: high school. When I first came in as a freshman,
Speaker 8: it was like just starting out and you know, they're
Speaker 8: playing like you know, Green Day Nirvana, really basic, you know,
Speaker 8: intro level stuff. But I could tell that some of
Speaker 8: the musicians and there were really good, And to be
Speaker 8: honest with you, I saw the drummer they had at
Speaker 8: the time, and I didn't really think he was that good.
Speaker 8: So I eventually found myself behind the drum set and
Speaker 8: then the rest was history. So yeah, we're it's a
Speaker 8: student led rock cover band. So we play at like
Speaker 8: all the school band concerts along with you know concert
Speaker 8: band and choir. But then we also do stuff like
Speaker 8: you know, school festivals, you know, like field days and
Speaker 8: stuff like that, and we also do some outside of
Speaker 8: school gigs. But it's kind of been slowing down a
Speaker 8: little bit because me and Jordan have been obviously occupied with.
Speaker 4: This band here.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, no, the reason I made the comment about, well,
Speaker 5: of course you're another band, you're a drummer, because you know,
Speaker 5: it's it's it's it's a subject on the show A
Speaker 5: lot every I think it even Actually it even came
Speaker 5: up when we were talking with Silicon Kong earlier about
Speaker 5: how every drummer is in so many bands and you know,
Speaker 5: because drummers are hard to find.
Speaker 4: I guess we are.
Speaker 9: I don't know, yeh yeah, we're always every drummer I've
Speaker 9: talked to. It's like, yeah, I'm in three bands, and
Speaker 9: me and myself, I'm also in three bands.
Speaker 8: So you know, I guess we're hard to find. And
Speaker 8: you know, we just kind of were like, yeah, whatever
Speaker 8: I can. We can do both of these. Honestly, we're
Speaker 8: pretty bad. We're pretty famous for like cheating as musicians,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, We're cheating on our previous
Speaker 8: bands with other bands and stuff like that. It's pretty
Speaker 8: bad actually, but you know whatever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah so what so what else? So there's a
Speaker 5: third band figure.
Speaker 8: In Yeah, well kind of. It's like just starting out.
Speaker 8: It's a band called Blowflies. They're out of Keene and
Speaker 8: it's with a buddy that I actually met in the
Speaker 8: cover band Room three. I won the bass player Doc Cassidy,
Speaker 8: wonderful bass player. But yeah, they're just starting out. It's
Speaker 8: more of a I don't even know what you would
Speaker 8: call it like a post kind of grungy, kind of
Speaker 8: Midwest emo, kind of a little.
Speaker 4: Bit of everything.
Speaker 8: So a little bit more out of my style. But
Speaker 8: they're just starting out and I've been playing with them.
Speaker 8: We've done one show together.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah. Yeah. My My theory about the reason with
Speaker 5: drummers they're always in so many bands is because when
Speaker 5: you're when you're growing up and you first become interested
Speaker 5: in playing an instrument, you got to have to talk
Speaker 5: with the parents, right, you know a lot of parents
Speaker 5: are gonna be like drums really yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: We had that conversation, but I mean they were kind
Speaker 8: of used to it because I started off on guitar, yeah,
Speaker 8: at like six, and then I moved on to bass,
Speaker 8: then went back to guitar, and I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 8: I don't really like or I like all both of these,
Speaker 8: but I'm not really that good at it, so I'll
Speaker 8: switch drums. And then I finally when I was ten
Speaker 8: and I finally found my home behind the drum set.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is where I belong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, very cool. Did did all three of you?
Speaker 5: Did you all go to school together?
Speaker 10: Or no, I'm in a different school than them.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, yeah, but you guys went to school.
Speaker 4: Together, yes, or yeah, we just met in a couple
Speaker 4: years ago. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we met in high school because we went to
Speaker 8: separate middle schools. But we met in high school and
Speaker 8: then Izzy obviously went to Golfstown High School. So that's
Speaker 8: how we met at the Battle of the Bands because
Speaker 8: obviously we would have never met otherwise.
Speaker 4: Ye. Sorry, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Do you are there any other bands that you kind
Speaker 5: of team up with?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 5: It it sort of happens organically in my experience, and
Speaker 5: you know, I was in a band that played with
Speaker 5: your dad's band a lot. We did a lot of
Speaker 5: shows together.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes bands just kind of, you know, you
Speaker 5: just you end up teaming up. It just sort of happens.
Speaker 5: Is there anybody else in the scene that that you
Speaker 5: play a lot of shows.
Speaker 4: With or not yet? Unfortunately.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're trying to make our way out there, and
Speaker 8: we're trying to, you know, try to also hopefully revitalize
Speaker 8: the scene a little bit, because unfortunately a lot of
Speaker 8: it has died. So we're trying to, you know, find
Speaker 8: like minded people and be like, hey, come on, you know,
Speaker 8: music's still alive.
Speaker 4: Let's go, let's go play shows and all that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so yeah, not yet, but we hope to find
Speaker 9: other bands out there who are like us, who are
Speaker 9: willing to play shows with us.
Speaker 4: You know, we like friends. So yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Do you feel like there's a there's a dearth of
Speaker 5: bands that are doing kind of what you're doing right
Speaker 5: now and locally or.
Speaker 10: Not that I've like really met or anything, like, I
Speaker 10: don't see too many younger people playing rock or like
Speaker 10: heavy music at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, A lot of the a lot of the younger
Speaker 9: and music that I see now it's you know, rap,
Speaker 9: you know, that type of stuff, which, hey, I'm not hating,
Speaker 9: but doesn't help us out right, you know it. You know,
Speaker 9: I wish there was more younger bands, you know, rock
Speaker 9: music and stuff.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's just kind of how it is today.
Speaker 5: No, it's interesting that you say that, because you know,
Speaker 5: I was talking earlier about how I feel that this
Speaker 5: kind of music is timeless. But it does occur to me. Again,
Speaker 5: if you were to just play this for me and say,
Speaker 5: you know, when do you think this was done? I
Speaker 5: wouldn't know, but I probably would assume that the members
Speaker 5: of the band were older than the three of you are,
Speaker 5: because you're right, you don't see a lot of people
Speaker 5: necessarily your age doing this kind of music, or at
Speaker 5: least doing it, you know, with this level of sophistication,
Speaker 5: because like I said, some of some of this is
Speaker 5: you know, complex, and yeah, that's that's interesting. I mean,
Speaker 5: you know, but again, you know, you've been together less
Speaker 5: than a year two, so I assume as you go
Speaker 5: along you'll meet other bands that you can kind of
Speaker 5: like I said, you know what, and it just happens.
Speaker 5: It just happens organically, you know. But we should play
Speaker 5: another track from the album. What do you want to
Speaker 5: What do you want to play next?
Speaker 4: You guys?
Speaker 7: Go with you?
Speaker 4: Guys? Good? Yeah, within my eyes, I can't talk with
Speaker 4: myle the.
Speaker 8: Guitar player talk, It's fine. I'm just the drummer. I
Speaker 8: don't know how to speak.
Speaker 5: All right, we'll get We'll give this one a spin
Speaker 5: and anything we should know about this before we play it.
Speaker 9: We all, I think one of the main parts of
Speaker 9: it that sticks out all three of us sing on it.
Speaker 9: Oh does I do versus? He does the chorus and
Speaker 9: in the background you'll hear like a or whatever.
Speaker 4: Vocalism. But that's easy.
Speaker 5: Oh, very cool, very cool. All right, let's give this
Speaker 5: a listen. If you're just joining us. The band is
Speaker 5: under the haraz listen. They're here with us, live in studio,
Speaker 5: and this is called within my eyes.
Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, one the sum there was, I can he
Speaker 11: hold up. I can't breathe right out alone, but I
Speaker 11: can't talk on you around.
Speaker 1: I can't see off my own bunch of pot racing
Speaker 1: the ground?
Speaker 2: What can that be? A spreadshows all bound.
Speaker 5: I just want to be in the bunch of puts
Speaker 5: body the crowd.
Speaker 9: In my.
Speaker 2: My eyes, with my eyes.
Speaker 4: To rest the shoes. I about change for people what
Speaker 4: you are.
Speaker 2: Before the two.
Speaker 3: I can't want to bring you out alone, but I
Speaker 3: cant are going y'all around.
Speaker 5: I dancy on my own, but you're my racing the crown.
Speaker 3: What can I me? All spread your eyes out.
Speaker 2: I just want to bring a.
Speaker 5: Bunch of boots.
Speaker 1: Out, a crowd going in.
Speaker 3: My yes with anybody.
Speaker 9: That I.
Speaker 2: Can't breath. But I can't I'm going around.
Speaker 1: I can't see.
Speaker 4: What your part grace not a crowd?
Speaker 1: What can't be?
Speaker 2: All spend your all around?
Speaker 5: I just want to be what your party.
Speaker 2: Crowd.
Speaker 9: M hmm.
Speaker 5: It's got a big dramatic ending. I really like that
Speaker 5: a lot. That's called Within My Eyes. The band is
Speaker 5: under the Horizon and we've got all three members of
Speaker 5: the band here with us live in studio on Matt
Speaker 5: Connorton Unleashed on this Saturday morning. Yeah, we were talking
Speaker 5: off air while it was playing that that's that song
Speaker 5: has got a touch of grunge, which kind of sets
Speaker 5: it apart from a lot of these other songs. And Jordan,
Speaker 5: you were saying, and you uh online on Uh it
Speaker 5: was it on Apples on Apple Music it uh similar artists.
Speaker 9: It comes up with like deaf tones Alison Shane stuff
Speaker 9: very grungy or you know, have that darker feel.
Speaker 4: I guess I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course the drums kind of ungrunge
Speaker 5: it a little bit because you don't hear you don't
Speaker 5: hear double bass usually in grunge.
Speaker 4: No, there's a bit.
Speaker 5: I cannot remember who they are now, Jenny, you probably
Speaker 5: don't remember either. It was a couple of years ago
Speaker 5: we had a band on who very grunge except for
Speaker 5: the drums. It was a three piece band. Uh, female singer.
Speaker 5: I can't I can, but yeah, but there's a band
Speaker 5: from the area who Yeah, they're they're like very grunge
Speaker 5: like not just a hint of it except the double
Speaker 5: bass drum, which is cool because it's it's it's a
Speaker 5: different sound. But I cannot I can picture them too,
Speaker 5: but I cannot remember the name. It'll come to me
Speaker 5: later on in the day when it no longer matters.
Speaker 5: But anyway, but I really like that track. Now, now,
Speaker 5: where do you record? What's the recording process?
Speaker 4: Like my house?
Speaker 8: We so we started recording the drum tracks. We recorded
Speaker 8: that down in the bandroom. We recorded in April, and
Speaker 8: it's in pretty much my basement is the bandroom. But
Speaker 8: you know, so it was so cold, these poor guys
Speaker 8: were off and uh. We recorded the drum tracks and
Speaker 8: pretty much like a day, day and a half maybe,
Speaker 8: and then we moved upstairs into my attic for the
Speaker 8: guitar tracks, and then we recorded vocals in my bedroom.
Speaker 8: So pretty much half of the house was a recording
Speaker 8: studio for.
Speaker 4: Like a week. But yeah, just recording anywhere.
Speaker 10: We could, I say it would be more than a week.
Speaker 4: I don't know how long did we record for.
Speaker 5: I don't know, probably a couple of weeks, at least.
Speaker 8: A couple maybe three weeks. He's saying three weeks weeks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, oh very cool. Uh No, that's that's a
Speaker 5: good way to do it.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 5: It's it's you know, we live in an era to
Speaker 5: where you've got so many different options in terms of
Speaker 5: how you record. So do you uh I think you
Speaker 5: had said earlier too, you're already working on new material.
Speaker 5: Is that is that, Craig? Do you have plans to
Speaker 5: record it soon or you kind of focused on the
Speaker 5: current album right now? The current album right now, Yeah.
Speaker 10: And with the gigs that we have coming up, I
Speaker 10: feel that's what we're focusing on more than original new music.
Speaker 8: Yeah, although speaking on gigs that are coming up, we're
Speaker 8: playing two of the new songs at the show tonight,
Speaker 8: like songs that are going on the next album.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no one's heard it, but we had extra.
Speaker 8: Times where like, oh, we'll give the audience a little
Speaker 8: sneak peek of what's to come. So yeah, if any
Speaker 8: of you guys that are listening right now are coming
Speaker 8: to that, you'll get to hear two new songs that
Speaker 8: you can hear right now.
Speaker 5: Oh, very cool, excellent, excellent. Are you gonna, I mean,
Speaker 5: the current run of shows obviously are keeping very busy.
Speaker 5: Are you gonna try to keep up that pace?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 5: You know a lot of bands kind of slow down
Speaker 5: in the winter. That's when they kind of shift to
Speaker 5: recording or writing.
Speaker 10: Or We'll just have to see how things go, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm hoping that the energy that we have right
Speaker 9: now like follows through even after the shows.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like she said, only time will tell.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well you're off to a great start.
Speaker 5: That's for sure. That's for sure.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 5: We should so before we run out of time, and
Speaker 5: I do want to make sure we get one more
Speaker 5: song in two. But let's remind everybody for people listening

Speaker 5: And you had a hand in booking that.
Speaker 10: I did.
Speaker 6: I get to add that to my little rezuom.
Speaker 5: Yes, Green Green Jello slash Green Jelly. Don't know what
Speaker 5: to call them. I guess the flyer they have says
Speaker 5: green Jello, so I guess I think at this point.
Speaker 5: I think Bill when they were here, said that legally
Speaker 5: they're not in any peril at this point because it's
Speaker 5: been like thirty years. They were threatened with litigation by Jello. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you all are familiar.
Speaker 4: With Yes, Green Jelly, three Little Pigs.
Speaker 5: Yes, Yes, Yes, we had them. They played in Manchester
Speaker 5: and then we had them on the show the next
Speaker 5: day because they played on a Friday night, and then
Speaker 5: they were kind enough to come in. And I asked
Speaker 5: Bill Mann speaker about it because it's, you know, like
Speaker 5: they were Green Jello, but then they became green Jelly
Speaker 5: because they were threatened with litigation because green Jello obviously
Speaker 5: is trademarked. But he said something about now they just
Speaker 5: I think they actually prefer to be called green Jello
Speaker 5: because it's been like thirty years and they're not gonna
Speaker 5: get sued now in theory. But but yeah, so it's
Speaker 5: like if you look them up, there's sometimes they're green Jelly,
Speaker 5: sometimes they're green Jello. But but yeah, they're gonna be
Speaker 5: at Terminus in Nashua on Tuesday night, Free Show twenty
Speaker 5: one plus byob Jenny and I will be there and
Speaker 5: bring your pool noodle if you're going to the show.
Speaker 5: But we encourage people, and if you go, you can

Speaker 5: If you will any anything we should know about this son.
Speaker 10: It has a really sad, dark story to it, but
Speaker 10: I wrote it uh on someone that I had lost
Speaker 10: a couple of years back to suicide.
Speaker 5: Oh, wow. Yeah, okay, so this this is about that? Yes, yeah, yeah, well,
Speaker 5: you know I always say it's something we we talked
Speaker 5: about on the on the show a lot is you know,
Speaker 5: if you can take something negative but create something from it,
Speaker 5: you know, that's really kind of the best way to
Speaker 5: deal with things. That's like a great it's such a
