Speaker 16: Work work, I didn't want to talk over the end there.
Speaker 6: I love that. I love that so much. That is
Speaker 6: working Class Punk and the band is Jersey Call, and
Speaker 6: that was released officially on Labor Day, very very appropriate,
Speaker 6: and we played it on the show. I think we
Speaker 6: might have been the first American radio station to play it.
Speaker 6: But let's see here, so we've got I believe we
Speaker 6: have Josh and Victoria with us via Microsoft teams. Hello,
Speaker 6: Hi hear us? Yes, yes, can you hear me? Okay? Awesome, perfect, welcome,
Speaker 6: It's wonderful to It's wonderful to have you on again.
Speaker 6: Of course you're with us. I think it was a
Speaker 6: two or three months ago when you were in the area,
Speaker 6: but then you released a song and Jenny and I
Speaker 6: were like, well, we got we gotta have them on
Speaker 6: to talk about this because this is this is so good,
Speaker 6: you know, and we're fans anyway, but I love that song.
Speaker 6: I think it's very relatable. I think it's extraordinarily appropriate
Speaker 6: that you released it for Labor Day. Obviously, working Class Punk,
Speaker 6: the newest single from a Jersey Calling. So very excited
Speaker 6: to have you both on the show today. And we
Speaker 6: should tell we should tell our listeners who so you can.
Speaker 6: Can each of you explain your roles in the band,
Speaker 6: what you do in the band for people who might
Speaker 6: not be familiar or perhaps didn't hear our previous conversation
Speaker 6: when you were on the show.
Speaker 14: All right, we'll go best foot forward, go for it.
Speaker 17: So I'm Victoria and I sing and help bring some
Speaker 17: stuff and the help do stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, one.
Speaker 14: Oh, I'm Josh. I'm also a co lead singer, and
Speaker 14: I played rhythm guitar, and I write some songs.
Speaker 6: To absolutely no great stuff. Uh So, can you tell
Speaker 6: us about the inspiration? I mean, you know, probably kind
Speaker 6: of obvious, but can you tell us about the inspiration
Speaker 6: behind the song working class Punk and why you decided
Speaker 6: to write that? And it's such a great track by
Speaker 6: the way, I mean, you know, even if people don't
Speaker 6: understand or you know, vibe with the meaning behind it
Speaker 6: and whatnot and what it's trying to say, it's also
Speaker 6: just really really catchy. Uh So you probably can't help
Speaker 6: but sing along to it. But but can you tell
Speaker 6: us about the inspiration for that song?
Speaker 14: Yeah? Yeah, for sure, you know it's funny. Is our
Speaker 14: friend Brian mulhern from Jackson and the Pharmacist like a
Speaker 14: local local radio thing in our area. He was talking
Speaker 14: this morning. As he put he posted something on Facebook
Speaker 14: this morning about how, like, you know, it's really hard
Speaker 14: to be working class right now, that like wages of
Speaker 14: stagnated and they've been stagnating for years, and everything is
Speaker 14: more expensive. You know, inflation is out of control, rent
Speaker 14: is up, the price of buying a house is up,
Speaker 14: groceries are more expensive, and like, you know, we're really
Speaker 14: feeling the squeeze right now. And I wrote this song
Speaker 14: a year ago and it's only gotten worse than the
Speaker 14: last year. The song has only gotten more relatable. And
Speaker 14: I think when I wrote it, it was right in
Speaker 14: that period. I'm a teacher, so in February and March,
Speaker 14: those are days. Those are months when like teachers really
Speaker 14: don't there's no like there's no break, and it's right
Speaker 14: in the middle of the year. There's no days off,
Speaker 14: and the kids are feeling it, the teachers are feeling it,
Speaker 14: and it's just like it's it's kind of an endless
Speaker 14: grind and I don't know, man, it's you know, I
Speaker 14: feel like there are other cultures in the world where
Speaker 14: they work to live, and it feels like we have backwards.
Speaker 14: We're living to work, and it just gets it just
Speaker 14: gets frustrating.
Speaker 15: Man.
Speaker 14: I was doing another interview the other day, and you know,
Speaker 14: like the problem the American dream is like, you know,
Speaker 14: you work for like thirty years and then you get
Speaker 14: to retire with your white picket fence in your house
Speaker 14: and your family whatever. I am forty three years old.
Speaker 14: I've never owned a house. We're living We're coming to
Speaker 14: you live from our apartment this morning. And I've been
Speaker 14: working since i was like fifteen years old. Yeah, so
Speaker 14: I'm not great at math, but that's that's almost thirty years.
Speaker 14: And I'm definitely not going to retire at forty five,
Speaker 14: you know, but I'll be lucky if I can get
Speaker 14: out at sixty or sixty five. Well, we'll see. And man,
Speaker 14: like I know some people like there's a there's a
Speaker 14: maintenance guy at my job. I mean, he's seventy five
Speaker 14: years old and he is no intention of quitting, you know,
Speaker 14: Like we're we we we make dark jokes about like
Speaker 14: one day we're gonna walk in and we're just gonna
Speaker 14: find him down on the floor and hopefully it's us
Speaker 14: and not one of the like kindergarten kids. That we
Speaker 14: have at the school, right, it's you know, it's it's frustrating,
Speaker 14: and we wanted to write a song that like vented
Speaker 14: that frustration, but in like a catchy, fun kind of way.
Speaker 14: We didn't want it to seem like a downer.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Like, like a lot of the songs that I write,
Speaker 14: the lyrics are super down, but the you know, we
Speaker 14: try and keep the tempo up beat.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah. Have you had a chance to play it?
Speaker 6: I know it's a new song. Have you had a
Speaker 6: chance to play it out live?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 14: So we played it a couple of times at eight
Speaker 14: and Sand, which is a local brewery in our area.
Speaker 14: It's eight and Sand Brewing Company, and it's in Woodbury,
Speaker 14: New Jersey. So we played that there because you know,
Speaker 14: it's like our hometown. It's like, you know, we we
Speaker 14: know that even if we even if we mess it up,
Speaker 14: our friends and family are not going to judge us. Plus,
Speaker 14: it's a brand new song. How are you going to know.
Speaker 15: If we messed it up?
Speaker 6: That's true. That's a good point. I was curious because
Speaker 6: I just imagine it's such a it's a song that's
Speaker 6: so easy to sing along to that I would imagine
Speaker 6: it gets pretty good response from the crowd.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I've actually, yeah, we've We've gotten a couple of
Speaker 14: cool clips where like there are a couple of people
Speaker 14: singing along in the crowd and it's like their first
Speaker 14: time hearing the song, and I'm like, that's that's a
Speaker 14: good sign.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's validation, right, I mean, that's like, uh,
Speaker 6: you know, when you see people reacting to it in
Speaker 6: real time the first time they're hearing it, That's that's fantastic.
Speaker 14: Anything that can make my fragile ego just a little
Speaker 14: bit bigger.
Speaker 6: I'm curious if if the two of you have I mean,
Speaker 6: I'm curious about influences. And I know we you know,
Speaker 6: we talked about influences the last time you were here,
Speaker 6: But are there are there other punk bands? I mean
Speaker 6: I can certainly think of some, but I'm curious about
Speaker 6: are there other bands that even not necessarily punk bands,
Speaker 6: but bands that you kind of look to for inspiration
Speaker 6: when you're writing a song like Working Class Punk? Are
Speaker 6: there are there bands you can think of that might
Speaker 6: have influenced you that also address these types of issues
Speaker 6: and concerns.
Speaker 14: Oh? Absolutely, Specifically, when I was writing Working Class Punk,
Speaker 14: I was listening to a lot of Large and Grace.
Speaker 14: She's the singer for the Against Me and Against Me.
Speaker 14: I don't think is playing shoes any longer.
Speaker 6: Okay, but Large and.
Speaker 14: Grace wrote all those songs, so she still performs them
Speaker 14: live with her band.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 14: And then I mean, you know, like Dropkick Murphy's have
Speaker 14: been been all over the news and social media lately
Speaker 14: for their outspoken, you know, defense of the working class
Speaker 14: and critique of the current administration in the US.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 14: So yeah, there's I mean, I feel like, you know,
Speaker 14: punk music has always been a you know, one outlet
Speaker 14: for the working class. I mean, it's certainly not the
Speaker 14: only music that speaks to the working class, but it's
Speaker 14: always been there. I mean, you know, you think of
Speaker 14: bands like, you know, like Reagan Youth, the Dead, Kennedy's.
Speaker 14: You know, these are some of the old school punk
Speaker 14: bands that always always talked about like punching up, fighting
Speaker 14: against the oppression and the oppressive forces that really keep
Speaker 14: us all down and try and divide us up into
Speaker 14: you know, red team, blue team, when really it's like
Speaker 14: it's the top team versus the bottom team. And I
Speaker 14: like to think of all of us as power bottoms. Right, honey. Yea.
Speaker 6: The sex Pistles also come to mind. Obviously not an
Speaker 6: American band, but but you know, a lot of their
Speaker 6: their stuff also really addressed, uh, you know, things going
Speaker 6: on in the UK. God Save the Queen is one
Speaker 6: of my favorite punk songs of all time.
Speaker 14: But so I like the sex Pistols, like I like
Speaker 14: some of their music, and I like the message, but
Speaker 14: for me, it's like tainted by the disingenuousness of the
Speaker 14: fact that like they were they were put together as
Speaker 14: like they were put together as a boy band. Man,
Speaker 14: they were like they were to promote the like there
Speaker 14: was a store out there called sex I think, and
Speaker 14: the idea was the band was basically a big commercial,
Speaker 14: a live commercial, if you will, for that store.
Speaker 6: I didn't know about that, about that part of that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: well that's interesting.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's almost like it's it's like a it's like
Speaker 14: an astroturfed punk And like, you know, I do appreciate
Speaker 14: some of their songs, I mean, yeah, God Save the Queen,
Speaker 14: Anarchy in the UK, these are all classics, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 14: but I also like like the like anarchy in the
Speaker 14: UK bothers me a little bit, just because, like I
Speaker 14: I like a lot of the ideas of anarchism, like
Speaker 14: the socio political movement specifically, that anarchism is actually just
Speaker 14: opposing hierarchy, Like it's it's an opposition to hierarchy. It's
Speaker 14: not chaos, right, and it often gets conflated with chaos,
Speaker 14: and it's like, no, that's not what anarchists are fighting for.
Speaker 14: They're just fighting for a you know, to get rid
Speaker 14: of that class division. We should all be equal. It
Speaker 14: shouldn't be some people are you know, to quote animal farms,
Speaker 14: some people are more equal than others.
Speaker 6: That's yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I agree, I agree. Now
Speaker 6: this is so this came out on Labor Day obviously,
Speaker 6: and that's was that kind of the plan all along,
Speaker 6: Like like when you first because the song had been
Speaker 6: around for a little while, right, you said you would
Speaker 6: you had written it last year.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that that was definitely not the plan. So right
Speaker 14: now we're kind of on a show break. I mean,
Speaker 14: we're doing that. We have a show with Marky Ramone
Speaker 14: coming up September twenty twenty fourth at our More Music Hall,
Speaker 14: and that's gonna be that's gonna be super rad. But
Speaker 14: that kind of like that kind of fell into our laps.
Speaker 14: We got offered that show, and you know, despite the
Speaker 14: fact that we're on a show break until twenty twenty six,
Speaker 14: we were like, all right, well, I mean we have
Speaker 14: to take that, right it's one of the ramones. Yeah,
Speaker 14: it's a really cool venue, Like, we can't turn that down.
Speaker 14: So we're doing We're doing that one as an exception
Speaker 14: to the little break that we're taking because for a while,
Speaker 14: we were, like for two years straight, we were pretty
Speaker 14: much playing out constantly. Yeah, right now we're focused on
Speaker 14: like writing more music and then you know, trying to
Speaker 14: do that that life balance man, Like we've all got families,
Speaker 14: we've all got careers, and trying to focus on that,
Speaker 14: give that a little bit extra love. So the original
Speaker 14: plan was we released ex Americana right before we were
Speaker 14: on your show the first time, and we were gonna
Speaker 14: hold off on working We recorded it at the same
Speaker 14: time as Working Class Punk and Working Class Punk. We
Speaker 14: were going to release in twenty twenty six when we
Speaker 14: started playing out again. Oh okay, but yeah, but like,
Speaker 14: I don't know, the idea came to us to that,
Speaker 14: like labor Day was right around the corner, and we're like,
Speaker 14: that would actually be kind of a perfect time to
Speaker 14: release a song called working Class Punk.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 14: That kind of speaks to the idea of the labor
Speaker 14: movement and you know, the idea of the owner class
Speaker 14: versus the working class. So we we went ahead and
Speaker 14: pulled the trigger on it. You know, we came to
Speaker 14: that decision probably two weeks before Labor Day. So you know,
Speaker 14: I got on my computer and rushed out the distribution
Speaker 14: and made a bunch of promo and stuff like that,
Speaker 14: and we and we got it out and I'm happy
Speaker 14: we did outstanding.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm glad. Yeah, No, it's it's such a great track.
Speaker 6: So the so the show break other than you know,
Speaker 6: you mentioned the Marquie Ramone show. But that's that's gonna
Speaker 6: be it for the rest of twenty twenty five, Is
Speaker 6: that correct?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Again, unless we get something that's like, you know, just
Speaker 14: too sweet to refuse, you know what I mean. Like yet,
Speaker 14: like if if if the Descendants decide that they that
Speaker 14: they want us to open for them, I am I'm
Speaker 14: not going to turn that down. If a Windowa Fighter
Speaker 14: decides that they want an opening band, We're not going
Speaker 14: to turn that down. We need to pay for you know,
Speaker 14: we're we're planning on recording an album in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 14: releasing that'll be our uh our fourth album on Screaming
Speaker 14: and Our. I don't know how many times we've been
Speaker 14: in the studio because like you know, like before Jersey Calling,
Speaker 14: Sean and I were in another band called burn Kate.
Speaker 14: I've played in other bands well during during Jersey Callings Hiatus.
Speaker 14: I don't know, like it's like we're gonna go with like,
Speaker 14: you know, our double digit time in the studio maybe
Speaker 14: like twelve or something like that. Yeah, we're really looking
Speaker 14: forward to doing a full length and yeah, we're kind
Speaker 14: of we're kind of focused on that and trying to
Speaker 14: save money for that. So you know, if if a
Speaker 14: gig falls into our lap where they're like, oh we're
Speaker 14: going to pay you you know, X amount of dollars
Speaker 14: and it's and it's money that we can put toward
Speaker 14: that record, then you know, yeah, all available, Why wouldn't
Speaker 14: you take it?
Speaker 6: You know, right right, no doubt, no doubt. Yeah, where
Speaker 6: do you record? Because obviously you're in an area where
Speaker 6: you know there's a lot of music. Uh, like, where
Speaker 6: where did you record Working Class Punk? Because it sounds
Speaker 6: great too? You know, I'm I'm a trained audio engineer,
Speaker 6: and I pay a lot of attention to you know,
Speaker 6: not everyone pays attention to production, but I do. And
Speaker 6: I love the production. I love everything about it. But
Speaker 6: it just sounds so good. So I'm curious where you
Speaker 6: recorded it.
Speaker 14: So Working Class Punk and X we're both recorded at
Speaker 14: Montgomery count County Community College. We got this offer from
Speaker 14: Randy's sister's friends Kid. So I thought originally that this
Speaker 14: this is this guy Noah, I say, Kid, he's like
Speaker 14: twenty two, twenty three years old. Yeah, but he's a
Speaker 14: student at Montgomery count Montco Community College. That's just easier
Speaker 14: to say it that way. Montgomery County Community College out
Speaker 14: in PI. And he is is a you know, music
Speaker 14: engineering major, and he wanted to record a band and
Speaker 14: he knew of our band from a Randy's sister and
Speaker 14: he asked if he could record us for his final project,
Speaker 14: and you know, we said yes, and he yeah, he
Speaker 14: tracks both ex Americana and Working Class Punk with us.
Speaker 14: And you know, it was a different experience because usually
Speaker 14: we record at the Gradwell House Recording studio and had
Speaker 14: in Heights, New Jersey, and those guys have been doing
Speaker 14: it forever. They know what they're doing. They like they've
Speaker 14: been nominated for Grammys, like they they're pros. And Noah
Speaker 14: is a student. You know, he's just getting started with this.
Speaker 14: It was a very different experience, but still enjoyable, and
Speaker 14: it kind of challenged us some Sean pointed out in
Speaker 14: a recent interview, we did that, like it kind of
Speaker 14: challenged us to like make sure that we know our parts,
Speaker 14: because you know, studio magic can be done when someone
Speaker 14: knows what they're doing, Like, hey, you messed up a
Speaker 14: guitar part, Hey, no problem, we can copy and paste
Speaker 14: that from another take that you did. But Noah was
Speaker 14: a little more inexperienced, so it was like, if you
Speaker 14: don't get it right, then it's just not going to
Speaker 14: be right on the on the track. And he did
Speaker 14: an amazing job. And then what we did after that
Speaker 14: was we took Noah's rough mix and we sent it
Speaker 14: to the Gradwell House for like a little remix makeover,
Speaker 14: just so they could like put some put their hands
Speaker 14: on it, put some love to it, and they did
Speaker 14: what they usually did, and they and they took our music, which.
Speaker 6: You know, is what it like.
Speaker 14: Honestly, Noah's mix was great, but grad well just makes
Speaker 14: it sound so much more professional, just because they know
Speaker 14: what they're doing. Oh yeah, they've been doing it for long.
Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, so yeah, they mixed it, they mastered it,
Speaker 14: and uh, once we got that track, we you know,
Speaker 14: we we even sent it over to know and we're like, hey,
Speaker 14: here's what they did with it, and that way he
Speaker 14: can learn more from it. He did get an A
Speaker 14: on his final project, though, so I'm really happy about that.
Speaker 14: I was like, Man, if this kid doesn't get an
Speaker 14: A for all the hours he put into recording us,
Speaker 14: that's really awful.
Speaker 15: You know.
Speaker 6: Well, it's cool too that it came out so well,
Speaker 6: because obviously in a scenario like that, you know, you're
Speaker 6: you're used to working with pros, and then this this
Speaker 6: opportunity comes up, and I mean, I don't know, I
Speaker 6: just know in my mind i'd be thinking, Okay, we'll
Speaker 6: try this, but a student, I don't know, we'll we'll
Speaker 6: see what happens, you know, and and then uh, and
Speaker 6: then it came out great. So that's that's awesome.
Speaker 14: I'll think too that Noah. Noah came up with some
Speaker 14: really cool ideas too, like end of working class punk.
Speaker 14: You mentioned that didn't want to talk over the ending
Speaker 14: because you love the like little out take part at
Speaker 14: the end. That was Noah's idea. He was like, oh
Speaker 14: my god, you guys should keep that in the song somewhere.
Speaker 14: It would be kind of fun. And I was like,
Speaker 14: oh yeah, like like maybe at the end, and we
Speaker 14: you know, we kept it at the end because he
Speaker 14: had originally suggested it, because you know, otherwise and mess
Speaker 14: ups usually get deleted, right right right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Oh that's that's very cool, And I'm glad you
Speaker 6: got an a well well well deserved. That's that's fantastic.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, is definitely rocks.
Speaker 6: I didn't think to look, is there a video for that?
Speaker 6: If you have? You made a video for that song?
Speaker 14: Or I did?
Speaker 13: I did?
Speaker 14: I did this. I did the same thing that I
Speaker 14: did with Working Class or sorry, I did the same
Speaker 14: thing that I did with ex Americana. Yeah, and I
Speaker 14: made the video on my phone. This this is like,
Speaker 14: this is probably the last video that I'll make on
Speaker 14: my phone, just because I feel like I'm kind of
Speaker 14: you know, I I don't want to. I don't want
Speaker 14: our all of our videos to look exactly the same.
Speaker 14: But it's another very similar video to x Americana where
Speaker 14: where I took pictures of the band stills of the band,
Speaker 14: and I crudely animated them south Park style to the music.
Speaker 14: And I think it's really fun. It's got lyrics in
Speaker 14: the video, which is something a little bit different from
Speaker 14: working from x Americana's video. It does have some throwbacks
Speaker 14: to x Americana's video, because I mean I think the
Speaker 14: two songs do have a little bit of common messaging
Speaker 14: with like being anti billionaire. Yeah, so you know X style.
Speaker 14: Elon Musk absolutely makes an appearance in the video.
Speaker 6: Nice. Nice, Yeah, yeah, oh that's very cool. Yeah. I
Speaker 6: encourage people to check out the Jersey Calling YouTube page
Speaker 6: and oh yeah, you got lyrics in there too, very
Speaker 6: very nice. So what's so, what's kind of the future. Well,
Speaker 6: we should mention again too, especially for people who might
Speaker 6: be uh in your area. I assume that's where the
Speaker 6: Marque Ramone show is where you guys are.
Speaker 14: Yes, yeah, it's at Ardmore Music Hall, which is it's
Speaker 14: just outside of Philadelphia. It's on the main Line. I
Speaker 14: would say, if you're in the city, it's probably a
Speaker 14: twenty minute drive something like that. Okay, if you're where
Speaker 14: we live, it's about forty five minutes to an hour,
Speaker 14: but well worth it because Ardmore Music Hall is a
Speaker 14: it's it's a big venue, it's legitimate, like and there's sound.
Speaker 14: Their sound systems amazing. Plus, like, you know, after you
Speaker 14: see our set, which is pretty substantial, I thought maybe
Speaker 14: like for a for an act like MARKI Ramone, they
Speaker 14: would give us like twenty minutes or something, but like,
Speaker 14: we're getting a full forty five minute set.
Speaker 6: Oh good.
Speaker 14: And then after us you get to see yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 14: I'm pretty I'm pretty excited about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 14: And then uh, right after we're done, you get to
Speaker 14: see MARKI Ramone play some classic Ramone songs and that's
Speaker 14: that's rat.
Speaker 6: Oh that's very cool. That's very cool. Boy. How old
Speaker 6: is it now?
Speaker 14: He's going to be in his seventies right, Oh yeah,
Speaker 14: I would imagine yeah, and hopefully hopefully he's still got
Speaker 14: it because I remember a few years ago I saw
Speaker 14: Iggy Pop. He was doing like a reunion show with
Speaker 14: the Stooges, and I was like, all right, this guy's like,
Speaker 14: you know, seven hundred years old. There's no way he's
Speaker 14: going to have the energy out. He was running around
Speaker 14: like a maniac with no shirt on. You know, he's
Speaker 14: got that like his skin looks like old leather, but
Speaker 14: like he is, he was rocking, man, Like, I couldn't
Speaker 14: believe that Iggy Pop still had all that energy. I
Speaker 14: don't think I have as much.
Speaker 6: Energy as he Pop does when he's on stage.
Speaker 14: Like, and I like to think I'm pretty active on stage.
Speaker 6: But yeah, yeah, Iggy Pop.
Speaker 14: Was on a different level. He really was.
Speaker 6: It actually doesn't surprise me just because of I've never
Speaker 6: seen Iggy Pop live, but just from what I've heard,
Speaker 6: you know, over over the decades that, Yeah, there's just
Speaker 6: something about him. He just has endless energy no matter
Speaker 6: how old he gets, that's one thing that never changes.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm guessing it's like residual drugs flowing through his bloodstream, like,
Speaker 14: you know, like there's that guy's done so much that
Speaker 14: like he's never going to come down.
Speaker 6: Right, Maybe that's what it is, And that's that's my guess.
Speaker 14: The only thing keep me keeping Keith Richards alive, That's what.
Speaker 6: I'm sure of that, right, Yeah, he's gonna outlive us
Speaker 6: all I think. Yeah, Well, very good, very good. So
Speaker 6: where should uh where should people go online to keep
Speaker 6: up with everything? The Jersey Calling is doing.
Speaker 14: So, I mean our social media. We're on uh, we're
Speaker 14: on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, threads, and it's just at Jersey Calling.
Speaker 14: It's just at and then the band name okay, and
Speaker 14: then we have a YouTube channel that's also at Jersey Calling.
Speaker 14: We have a website and that is Jerseycalling Music dot com.
Speaker 6: Very good, very good now in a moment, So we're
Speaker 6: gonna when we end our conversation, I want to play
Speaker 6: ex Americana because that I love that song as well,
Speaker 6: and I think I even told you both when when
Speaker 6: you were here in studio that time that that's my
Speaker 6: favorite of the songs that you sent us. So we'll
Speaker 6: end the segment with that. I'll probably play uh, I'll
Speaker 6: probably play working Class Punk though again later in the
Speaker 6: show in the second or third hour somewhere else sneaking
Speaker 6: in because I love that song too, and we want
Speaker 6: to keep pushing that. That's such a great track. But
Speaker 6: what should we know about ex Americana? And again, I know,
Speaker 6: I know we talked all about it when you were
Speaker 6: here in studio with us. But for people who are
Speaker 6: new listeners or people who are not familiar with Jersey Calling,
Speaker 6: what can you tell us about this song that we should.
Speaker 14: Know so ex Americana. I mean, even though we were
Speaker 14: recording at the same time as Working Class Punk, it
Speaker 14: was like the opposite with the writing process. Sean sent
Speaker 14: me some lyrics he had scribbled down on the train
Speaker 14: on the way to work, and it were, you know,
Speaker 14: we are about Elon Musk. And it was right when
Speaker 14: he had been you know, appointed to the position of
Speaker 14: the head of DOGE. Yes, you know, right right after
Speaker 14: Trump was elected to a second term. And like, I
Speaker 14: love the lyrics, and I was like, yeah, I think
Speaker 14: I can work this into something. And I had a
Speaker 14: progression that I like, a guitar a chord progression that
Speaker 14: I was that was gonna that was saving for something.
Speaker 14: I wanted to use it for something I didn't know
Speaker 14: what yet. Yeah, So I took Sean's lyrics, I took
Speaker 14: my progression. I kind of fused them together, and UH
Speaker 14: came up with came up with the basic structure of
Speaker 14: the song, and then we rushed that out because I
Speaker 14: was like, you know what, we need to get this
Speaker 14: out before it's irrelevant because Trump and Musk, like, there's
Speaker 14: no way that those two egos are going to last.
Speaker 14: There there's gonna there, Yeah, there's I was like, there's
Speaker 14: gonna there's gonna be a falling out. Yeah, there's gonna
Speaker 14: be an excommunication. We need to you know, no no
Speaker 14: Pun intended with that, right and like I'm like, we
Speaker 14: need to get it out before before this is completely irrelevant,
Speaker 14: and they're like okay, And that's when, you know, we
Speaker 14: got the opportunity to record with Noah at Monco and uh,
Speaker 14: you know, we had practiced that song I think like
Speaker 14: twice before going into the studio, So like that one
Speaker 14: was particularly rough recording it because we were like we
Speaker 14: were still learning it while we were recording it. But
Speaker 14: I'm really happy with how it turned out. And we
Speaker 14: couldn't have time to release more perfectly, man, because we
Speaker 14: released it like a day after Trump and Elon had
Speaker 14: that falling out, Like it was perfect perfect it was
Speaker 14: and and and it came out a day before Trump's birthday.
Speaker 13: So like it was oh man, it was.
Speaker 15: It was.
Speaker 14: Honestly, I got lucky. It was a cool idea, but
Speaker 14: it could have it could have gone wrong, you know,
Speaker 14: they could have like the Trump Elon break up, the
Speaker 14: divorce could have happened earlier. But it also happened at
Speaker 14: like a great time because that's when the chatter was
Speaker 14: really high about him online. So then when you made
Speaker 14: the the post that was, yeah, we awesome, we made
Speaker 14: a we made a Trump tweet. We we we we
Speaker 14: made it well. We made it look like he was
Speaker 14: insulting the band on truth social and and that post
Speaker 14: went viral because everyone thought it was real.
Speaker 6: Oh that is so smart, that is genius.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it was, it was.
Speaker 18: It was.
Speaker 14: I couldn't believe how many people thought it was really like,
Speaker 14: it's still getting traction to this day. It's got almost
Speaker 14: like a million views. It's crazy. And I mean, I
Speaker 14: think I basically attribute that to the fact that, like
Speaker 14: ex Americana in the you know one, in the first
Speaker 14: month it was released, became our number one song.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like it.
Speaker 14: It boosted our numbers by a lot, and working class punk,
Speaker 14: you know, I'm like, looking at it, I'm like, yep,
Speaker 14: we're back to normal. We're just back to regular numbers again.
Speaker 14: But but you know, like it's stut to get lightning
Speaker 14: to strike twice. It is what it is, you know.
Speaker 14: And I'm still proud of music that we make, and
Speaker 14: we've always made it for us, not necessarily for the accolades, you.
Speaker 6: Know, sure, sure, well, very good. Well listen, Josh and Victoria,
Speaker 6: thank you both so much. Always wonderful to talk with you,
Speaker 6: and I look forward to the next time. And again
Speaker 6: working class Punk. Great track. We were very happy to
Speaker 6: play it here and and of course, well, like I said,
Speaker 6: I'll probably sneak it in again later in the show
Speaker 6: and we're gonna end the segment with this track. Again.
Speaker 6: I love this song so much, ex Americana. But we'll
Speaker 6: let you go, but thank you both for joining us
