Speaker 10: The band is Brides, another great band from the UK,
Speaker 10: and we are in our number two Newmarrow dose of
Speaker 10: Matt Connorton Unleashed and let's see who we have here
Speaker 10: via WhatsApp from the band Brides, Hello, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: Hello, thank you so much for having us on.
Speaker 10: Absolutely absolutely okay, So who do we have with us?
Speaker 10: Please identify yourselves. Tell us who you are and what
Speaker 10: you do in the band.
Speaker 1: So my name is Joe. I do the singing and
Speaker 1: play the rhythm sole. Hi.
Speaker 11: My name is Alex and I play the leads and
Speaker 11: to some backing vocals as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, and between the two of us we write all
Speaker 1: the songs.
Speaker 10: Oh, very good, okay, so Joe and Alex yep, yeah, okay,
Speaker 10: Well guys, yeah, welcome. It's wonderful to talk with you.
Speaker 10: I really like the I really like the EP. I
Speaker 10: listen to the whole thing online. And now how do
Speaker 10: you how do you pronounce the title. What's the correct pronunciation.
Speaker 1: It's pronounced letche. It's milk in Spanish.
Speaker 10: Oh okay.
Speaker 1: And we started that because I had a roommate who
Speaker 1: he's got an absolute phobia of people that drink milk.
Speaker 1: I'm a man that likes a little glass of milk
Speaker 1: every now and again.
Speaker 10: Sure, I used to.
Speaker 1: Come into the room pronouncing that, but that have a
Speaker 1: big old pinea letche and it make his skin crawl.
Speaker 1: And from there we just decided that was a good
Speaker 1: enough name for the album.
Speaker 10: That's funny. I yeah, I used to drink a lot
Speaker 10: of milk when I was a kid, and now the
Speaker 10: thought of drinking milk is kind of repulsive to me.
Speaker 10: But but he had a he had a total phobia
Speaker 10: of it. That's funny. Uh yeah, yeah. So I'm really
Speaker 10: curious to know more about about these songs and and
Speaker 10: kind of what your inspirations are. And I'm glad that
Speaker 10: I'm talking to the two members who who write everything
Speaker 10: because it is so interesting. We're gonna play after our conversation.
Speaker 10: We're gonna play. You also asked us to play We're
Speaker 10: out of Gravy, and I also don't but I'm actually
Speaker 10: gonna play two songs at the end because I'm gonna
Speaker 10: play that, but I'm also gonna play because you picked it.
Speaker 10: But there's another song from the EP that I'm also
Speaker 10: gonna play, uh selfishly at the end because I love
Speaker 10: it so much. But I'll wait till at the end
Speaker 10: of our conversation ask you about that song. But yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 10: I love the whole thing. It's so cool and it's different,
Speaker 10: you know, it's it's not something that you tend to
Speaker 10: hear on the radio. You've You've got a style and
Speaker 10: a sound that I think is unique. But I am
Speaker 10: curious about uh, I'm curious abou out influences sonically because
Speaker 10: I was reading online I saw I saw both Weezer
Speaker 10: and The Wiggles mentioned in the same sentence. I don't
Speaker 10: know if that's accurate or not, but I'm very curious.
Speaker 1: I mean, with with regards to the guitars and the bass,
Speaker 1: I think we get a lot of inspiration from bands
Speaker 1: like Weezer, my Bloody Valentine.
Speaker 11: The best band of all time that's radio Head as well.
Speaker 1: Sot a lot of driven guitars from that. But lyrically,
Speaker 1: I mean, we we have we don't consider ourselves a
Speaker 1: comedy BANDO.
Speaker 11: I say, we like, we like, we like funny bits,
Speaker 11: we have fun as well.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what we like about the Wiggles,
Speaker 1: the fact that they can turn these just really simple
Speaker 1: concepts like a fruit salad into a banger that everyone
Speaker 1: is screaming.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so with Wiggles, with the Dicky's energy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we like we like to think of ourselves
Speaker 1: as the Wiggles. But for gamers, oh.
Speaker 10: That's great, that's great. And I so I get a
Speaker 10: sense too that these songs are kind of about celebrating
Speaker 10: individuality and and and different and some of some of
Speaker 10: that I might be getting from the song that I
Speaker 10: haven't mentioned the name of yet that I love so
Speaker 10: much that I'm gonna play later. But and I also
Speaker 10: kind of get that from the cover art too. Uh well,
Speaker 10: let's start actually, let's start there. So tell me about
Speaker 10: the cover art for the EP. Who drew that and
Speaker 10: what does it mean.
Speaker 1: The cover art was designed by a very very good
Speaker 1: friend of mine, Richie Over at the Institute of Free Design,
Speaker 1: And the cover art came about because when we were
Speaker 1: on holiday, maybe about four years ago, we got these
Speaker 1: old beer boxes and for whatever reason. We played a
Speaker 1: chilly game. We turn them into robot heads.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we did it.
Speaker 1: We were going to throw them away and I just
Speaker 1: thought they were and there. You know, one day, one day,
Speaker 1: this piece of you know, rubbish is going to come
Speaker 1: in great use. And then we were we were debating
Speaker 1: what to do for the album cover. We knew it
Speaker 1: was going to be good. Let chain and I had
Speaker 1: to have something milk related. We liked the idea of
Speaker 1: all of us riding on the back of a cow.
Speaker 12: But beyond that we needed to sort of capture the
Speaker 12: We had to get like little propters. So you know,
Speaker 12: on the on the cow, we're all sat on the cow,
Speaker 12: and then I'm at the front as well. We all
Speaker 12: like to do our silly little poses.
Speaker 1: And to ride a cow. Yeah, we have a stunt
Speaker 1: cow to be able to ride for the reference images,
Speaker 1: so it's all of us balancing precariously on an amp.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: We then sent to the artists and said, can you
Speaker 1: just do this but pretend we're on a cow instead,
Speaker 1: and then yeah, So we just wanted to get this
Speaker 1: sense because the album was quite distorted and quite spacious,
Speaker 1: so we wanted to get this sort of grandiose sense
Speaker 1: to it, And I think the easiest way we saw that,
Speaker 1: combined with the robot head is what if there was
Speaker 1: a huge robot assessing the cow for whatever the farious reason?
Speaker 10: Yep.
Speaker 1: And I think on perhaps a future release, we might
Speaker 1: get a sequel image to that showing what might happen
Speaker 1: next between the robot and the cow.
Speaker 10: Okay, okay, I like that idea. Yeah, so I encourage
Speaker 10: people who haven't seen it go online and check out
Speaker 10: this cover and yeah, the robot, the guy with the
Speaker 10: robot head is holding the cow. I actually didn't realize
Speaker 10: it was a cow when I first looked at it.
Speaker 10: I had to kind of study it to even even
Speaker 10: figure that out. I was like, oh, yeah, I think
Speaker 10: that is a cow that they're sitting on. Yeah, so
Speaker 10: that's that's very cool. Do you have You must have
Speaker 10: got a lot of questions about the cover, right, I
Speaker 10: assume people ask you all the time.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was a lot with a lot of fire.
Speaker 12: People seem to really be liking it, which is obviously great,
Speaker 12: but then the comments to be bad about the cover
Speaker 12: is actually I expected that.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We thought people were just looking at it and think, oh,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool, But people have really wanted to know
Speaker 1: the rationale behind it. Yeah, I think we're lucky enough
Speaker 1: to be able to work with just challenged artists who
Speaker 1: did this for us. And I mean we We've got
Speaker 1: a gig on the thirteenth September, our next headline show,
Speaker 1: and for that, the same person who designed Richie, the
Speaker 1: same person design the cover, has designed some tarot cards
Speaker 1: that will be giving out to the audience members with
Speaker 1: some of our faces on them and some artwork relating
Speaker 1: to the songs.
Speaker 5: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: And we've we've made little milk cartons as well to
Speaker 1: give out and the book Yeah yeah, it's got a
Speaker 1: little robot head key chain in it and the couple
Speaker 1: of sweeties. So yeah, we've we've leaned very hard into
Speaker 1: this whole milk and robot thing, just because so many
Speaker 1: people that come back so interested in it. I will
Speaker 1: make the most situation.
Speaker 10: I think that's the first time anyone's ever used a
Speaker 10: sentence like that on the show. We've leaned very hard
Speaker 10: into this milk and robot thing.
Speaker 1: I'm only to be able to bring that to No.
Speaker 10: I love it. I think that it is so cool
Speaker 10: if you can do something that you know that that
Speaker 10: makes you stand out, but also creates this kind of
Speaker 10: you know, over time, because I assume you're a relatively
Speaker 10: new band, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had our first concert in January this year.
Speaker 10: Really, oh yeah, okay, so you're very new. So over time,
Speaker 10: you know, as long as you continue to to do
Speaker 10: this type of thing with the cover and the you
Speaker 10: know and and you know, these concepts that you know,
Speaker 10: a mythology will kind of build around the band and
Speaker 10: if that makes sense, and I it is definitely what
Speaker 10: for Yeah, yeah, And I think that's a great thing
Speaker 10: to have because you know, it creates interest and it
Speaker 10: it uh, you know, if if you can even pull
Speaker 10: you know, you might pull some people in who are
Speaker 10: just kind of interested in the image and what does
Speaker 10: it all mean, and then they they listen to the
Speaker 10: music and then they're they're you know, then they become
Speaker 10: permanent fans because of the music. But but yeah, having
Speaker 10: having something that kind of pulls people in, I think
Speaker 10: is a great strategy. And it's and it's underused. It's
Speaker 10: it's not something a lot of artists really do. If anything,
Speaker 10: a lot of artists try to kind of fit in
Speaker 10: with whatever is going on at the time.
Speaker 1: I think there's a big trend towards at the moment,
Speaker 1: especially with the big push for marketability on social media
Speaker 1: and everything, a lot of people put an image of
Speaker 1: themselves as the cover image because I helped boost engagement
Speaker 1: and everything.
Speaker 10: Sure, but you know, you know, being admirers.
Speaker 1: Of the Beatles and Pixies and radiohead bands with really
Speaker 1: iconic front images, we just the Yeah, we just we
Speaker 1: just wanted something that lived up to the scope at
Speaker 1: least what we thought of the record. And I'm really
Speaker 1: really happy to just come about that.
Speaker 10: Well, yeah, absolutely so. In terms of the songs themselves,
Speaker 10: I mean, are you are you? I mean I kind
Speaker 10: of might have been reading into it a little bit.
Speaker 10: I don't know what are the songs supposed to be about.
Speaker 10: I mean, is there a cohesive theme or is it?
Speaker 10: Is it just it seems like you're there's almost these
Speaker 10: different like each song almost to me is kind of
Speaker 10: like its own character in some sort of story that
Speaker 10: I don't quite understand. Again, I don't know if I'm
Speaker 10: reading too much into it. Tell me if I am.
Speaker 11: But really, yeah, well definitely they all kind of they're
Speaker 11: all like, so how we do it?
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 11: Me and Joe, We like we come up with the
Speaker 11: songs like on our own, and then we come together.
Speaker 11: Then we put them together.
Speaker 12: I give any input or he gives any input back
Speaker 12: to me, and then but they're they're all very like
Speaker 12: individual to us personally, Like with lyrics, there's a lot
Speaker 12: of a lot of things going on each one.
Speaker 1: I think we like to take like quite personal subject
Speaker 1: matters and given a bit of a larger than life persona,
Speaker 1: which is which we've done through sort of characterizing each
Speaker 1: one of these songs. I mean, one of our tracks,
Speaker 1: Common Inferno is all about two clones who fall in
Speaker 1: love with each other and face the consequences for that.
Speaker 1: Rebecca is about an angel that likes to have a
Speaker 1: bit of a drink. And they're all based on people
Speaker 1: we know really in real life who have had big
Speaker 1: influences on us.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and we've.
Speaker 1: Dressed them up enough so that those people don't necessarily
Speaker 1: know we're singing about them.
Speaker 10: Well, now, I'm curious, has anyone ever come to you
Speaker 10: and said is it or asked you is that song
Speaker 10: about me? Or did I have anything to do with
Speaker 10: inspiring that song? Is that happened?
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we will be shot by a couple of people.
Speaker 1: But I will say every person we have ever met
Speaker 1: called Rebecca and the people at home another one of
Speaker 1: our tracks called Rebecca. Everyone we've ever met named Rebecca
Speaker 1: has reached out and said, oh my god, I can't
Speaker 1: believe you wrote this song about me. I started off
Speaker 1: denying it, saying, oh, no, it's unrelated, but in the
Speaker 1: end I just thought, oh, well, they're going to listen
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, of course it's about about you. I
Speaker 1: are honored that you let us write this about you.
Speaker 11: We aim for a sold out gig just with people
Speaker 11: named Rebecca there.
Speaker 10: That would be great. That would be great. So the
Speaker 10: album sounds really good. Where do you guys record?
Speaker 1: We recorded in two different studios. We did the drums
Speaker 1: in a place called Arc, which we've had a lot
Speaker 1: of experience with recording there. But then for the rest
Speaker 1: of the track of the guitars and bass and vocals
Speaker 1: and all the fun little sounds you here in the background,
Speaker 1: we recorded at Brier Street Studios in Liverpool. Newer studio,
Speaker 1: but it was absolutely fantastic. I had a really really
Speaker 1: good atmosphere and energy. The owner was super super nice,
Speaker 1: and we were lucky enough to work with just the
Speaker 1: best producer in the World Rory Valentine, and he.
Speaker 11: Taught me how to make coffee there as well.
Speaker 1: He did. He taught you had to make a proper coffee. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a screen properly into the mic without clipping it.
Speaker 1: We've been really really lucky to work with the people
Speaker 1: we have.
Speaker 12: Especially like there's a distortion layer on Common Inferno as well,
Speaker 12: like just working that for a just as well, just
Speaker 12: just being able to just blast that and just.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get it perfect. If you listen carefully, you'll find
Speaker 1: a lot of the distortion layers are just Alex screaming
Speaker 1: into his.
Speaker 14: Guitar pickups that the feedback really yeah, yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 14: I like tune it so it's so it's in key
Speaker 14: and then just like scream into it, run around the room,
Speaker 14: smash it on the wall or something, and then just.
Speaker 1: Try and get as much as many mangled sounds as
Speaker 1: we're good.
Speaker 10: That's interesting. That's interesting.
Speaker 1: Took some perfecting to get right, but we got there
Speaker 1: in the end, and then a lot of the little
Speaker 1: background sounds and monsters. This was again we were lucky
Speaker 1: to work with Rory, who's who've been game for anything.
Speaker 1: He if you listen in the right headphone nice and quiet.
Speaker 1: He delivers a speech about an evil monster destroying reality
Speaker 1: that took a lot of time to get right because
Speaker 1: we were all just you know, wetting ourselves laughing through it.
Speaker 11: But that's when we were kind of like we were
Speaker 11: linking in that that robot theme.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, again, trying to bring it all back together. So,
Speaker 1: I mean to go back to an earlier question, I
Speaker 1: think the common theme of the release is just sort
Speaker 1: of desperation, not in the negative sense, not in a
Speaker 1: sad sense, but I feel, especially when you're younger, you're
Speaker 1: just in such a hurry to get everything done because
Speaker 1: you feel at the time slipping away from you and
Speaker 1: whether that relates to you, you know, getting into a
Speaker 1: relationship that might not be the best just because it's
Speaker 1: the most comfortable thing, or going a bit crazy on
Speaker 1: the old on the old beveroonies for a week or two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is that sort of annic behind it, And I think
Speaker 1: we've tried to capture that, and as I say, take
Speaker 1: the Wiggles inspiration as well and make it a bit fun.
Speaker 10: I'm curious, when you write these songs, do they end
Speaker 10: up do any of these for example, on this EP,
Speaker 10: did any of them come out differently in a significant
Speaker 10: way than what you had in mind or expected when
Speaker 10: you went in.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so definitely, because me and Job that we've been
Speaker 12: writing them for like two two and a half years
Speaker 12: to two and a half years, will say, But we
Speaker 12: initially had like a full horn section the way we wanted.
Speaker 11: To incorporate into it.
Speaker 12: Really I didn't think it was Yeah, we did get
Speaker 12: a trumpet in, yeah, well, but I think we just
Speaker 12: didn't think it was bible.
Speaker 11: Really, it wasn't really the sound we were going for.
Speaker 12: But for this one, maybe later down the line, but
Speaker 12: for this plus, like we realized probably like a year
Speaker 12: ago that it was going to be like, well, I
Speaker 12: don't know how you describe it, but it's like punk.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think Cozer and James that sorry. Coz are our
Speaker 1: basis and James our drummer. Joining was a big influence
Speaker 1: because we were originally going to go for more of
Speaker 1: a jazzier route, but once we got them in the band,
Speaker 1: James smashes the kit hard than anyone ever, is amazing,
Speaker 1: has these thundering basslines, So it just sort of pivoted
Speaker 1: more into sort of a psychedelic hard rock thing without
Speaker 1: a lot of effort. It just sort of came out
Speaker 1: naturally that way. Yeah, and specific songwise, I mean, Rebecca
Speaker 1: used to be I want to Attract Rebecca used to
Speaker 1: be three separate songs. We're all perfectly fine, and we
Speaker 1: just thought, and they're all right, we don't have any
Speaker 1: of them. What if we just took the best bits
Speaker 1: of each of them, let's slam them into each other.
Speaker 1: And it ended up working right.
Speaker 11: Yeah, similarly all Teapot was very different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Teapot started very very different.
Speaker 11: That was originally just that riff over and over again.
Speaker 11: But yeah, I think we were having enough over and
Speaker 11: over again.
Speaker 1: They can't be with us today because they're hugely influential
Speaker 1: on the sound of the EP, but they were. They
Speaker 1: were a big influence into an impact into why we
Speaker 1: sort of went a bit heavier than we intended originally.
Speaker 10: Sure, sure, So I'm really curious, who about the live show?
Speaker 10: What is the live show?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 10: I mean, do you do you wear uh you know,
Speaker 10: cardboard robot heads or like the show?
Speaker 1: Okay, so a lot of the lives. So my I
Speaker 1: love singing on stage and I love playing guitar on
Speaker 1: stage and running about like a fool. I hate talking
Speaker 1: on stage so very very much. I'm no good at
Speaker 1: it frees up. So the goal with our sets has
Speaker 1: always been to transition from one song into the other
Speaker 1: as smoothly as possible, which means for the live show
Speaker 1: we have quite a lot of these sort of soundscaping sections.
Speaker 1: I mean both they're really good to listen to, and
Speaker 1: they let us use off our big fancy pedal boards
Speaker 1: and our micro sequences and all the hologram stuff. But
Speaker 1: it's not it's not. It is a lot of that.
Speaker 11: But Joe does put his like big boy pants on
Speaker 11: sometimes and does talk to the audience.
Speaker 1: But yeah, all these soundscapes, I mean, they they worked
Speaker 1: really well for changing.
Speaker 12: And we all we all kind of talk to each
Speaker 12: other as well there as well. But the yeah, it's
Speaker 12: just like live shows, just high energy. Joe's running around,
Speaker 12: I'm on the floor.
Speaker 1: I like coming into the crowd to say to everyone.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We like it to feel like everyone is just hanging
Speaker 1: out with the band. So when we do eventually have
Speaker 1: to talk, rather than doing these sort of little speeches,
Speaker 1: we just like to have a chat amongst ourselves, have
Speaker 1: a little laugh, and people have been responding really well
Speaker 1: to it. We're we're booking s across the country at
Speaker 1: the moment, with more on the way, so keep an
Speaker 1: eye out. If your fancy coming to watch us, they
Speaker 1: will make.
Speaker 10: All way over to you, outstanding, I would love that.
Speaker 10: So you're kind of an obvious question, but where does
Speaker 10: the name come from? Brides or see?
Speaker 12: Joel'll tell you something. So the pub we go to
Speaker 12: is called the Bride Well, that's just the one that
Speaker 12: me and Joe have always gone to. And then Brian,
Speaker 12: I think it came from them.
Speaker 1: Or something, and I like to say we were going
Speaker 1: to be called Grooms, but that had some some negative connotations.
Speaker 10: Okay, so we pivoted.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, we are named after the pub of the Bride Cup,
Speaker 1: which we have been drinking and writing songs in since
Speaker 1: we moved this city pretty much.
Speaker 15: Okay, okay, there it's a fairly it's the semi famous
Speaker 15: pub around Liverpool.
Speaker 1: I just called Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
Speaker 10: Oh yes, yes, So the pub.
Speaker 1: Originally used to be some rehearsal rooms and that was
Speaker 1: the rooms where Frankie Goes the Hollywood was formed. There's
Speaker 1: a little bit of history to it. And yeah, it's
Speaker 1: got a plaque of Frankie up at the moment. So
Speaker 1: I'm hoping one day there can be a plaque a
Speaker 1: little old Me and Alex watching over all the patrons
Speaker 1: of the bar.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and a free pint would be nice.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Oh that's cool. Yeah. In America, Frankie Osa
Speaker 10: Hollywood is best known for the song Relaxed.
Speaker 1: That was incredible.
Speaker 10: That was their huge hit over here, and I feel
Speaker 10: like there might have been one or two others, but
Speaker 10: that's like the big, big one that Americans are most
Speaker 10: familiar with. Oh that's that's cool, I think, yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's what made it big over here as well.
Speaker 1: I would like to say we've got a bit of
Speaker 1: Frankie about us, not necessarily musically, but only in the
Speaker 1: sense that my hips to be moving around quite a
Speaker 1: lot on stage, and if I be more confident, I
Speaker 1: might whip out the gim mask. But yes, that new question.
Speaker 2: We we do wear that.
Speaker 1: We do wear the robot heads and one step.
Speaker 10: Down from the okay, okay, maybe save the gip ask
Speaker 10: for you know, if you do the show with all
Speaker 10: the Rebecca's or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1: If we ever make it to the US, we'll tell
Speaker 1: the Rebecca only show all in gimp mask and you'll
Speaker 1: be the guest of honor. We assure you.
Speaker 10: I would love that. I think sounds great. That's a
Speaker 10: great idea. That's a great idea. Are you guys playing
Speaker 10: a lot of shows? It sounds like you are right
Speaker 10: you said you're starting book shows across the country.
Speaker 1: There, Yes, So we've got Liverpool headline on the thirteenth.
Speaker 15: Then we've got a few more Liverpool shows this year,
Speaker 15: Manchester show this year.
Speaker 1: And then we're moving to London, Glasgow, Sheffield in early
Speaker 1: next year. Excellent, and we might start walking to boys
Speaker 1: the next EP.
Speaker 10: Don't tell anyone, oh okay, okay. By the way, so
Speaker 10: I'm always curious about this what went into the decision
Speaker 10: to record an EP, because, as you know, a lot
Speaker 10: of artists now, especially new artists, they might just do singles,
Speaker 10: or they might do a full album, or they might
Speaker 10: do an EP. Was there anything that went into that?
Speaker 10: Was it just a number of songs that you had
Speaker 10: ready or what went into the decision to make an EP?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Well I think we have got an album planned like
Speaker 12: further down the line. Obviously, it takes a bit more
Speaker 12: like for resources and time to fully commit to it,
Speaker 12: and we do have a theme, a proper theme that
Speaker 12: we have set.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, obviously we do with the EPs.
Speaker 12: But I mean, you could be a six song EP,
Speaker 12: so you I mean, you could get away with calling
Speaker 12: an album, but it's not like an album.
Speaker 11: To us is a it's like a full journey start
Speaker 11: to finish.
Speaker 1: We didn't want to do an album ntil we were
Speaker 1: ready to fully get it, and we didn't want to
Speaker 1: do singles only because as you, I mean, you've listened
Speaker 1: to the EP, I hope you'd agree that there's it's
Speaker 1: quite a varied yeah sound. Oh, we didn't want to
Speaker 1: put out any one song that pigeonholed us. We thought
Speaker 1: we'd put out a good selection that showed a bit
Speaker 1: of our range. And also we just have so many songs.
Speaker 1: We've got these where the next we'll hopefully be producing
Speaker 1: another EP within I'm not going to say how long.
Speaker 1: I'm getting the look, I can't say how long. Before
Speaker 1: long that will include another seven or eight songs which
Speaker 1: will be combined with this EP. That will be the
Speaker 1: totality of everything me and Alex wrote together before we
Speaker 1: hired James and Kozer. So once we have that out
Speaker 1: of the way we've started working on the.
Speaker 12: Album and which we were all doing together, like, well,
Speaker 12: obviously they've all come up with their own parts, but
Speaker 12: they're all like, we're just jamming the songs from the start, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Working through, working different instruments in. We've got introduced in
Speaker 1: the keyboard and Alex has been getting really good on
Speaker 1: the saxophone.
Speaker 11: Avenue Mate, Neighbors to.
Speaker 4: Go, We've got.
Speaker 1: Mandolin. Yeah. Even at this show on the thirteenth, we're
Speaker 1: bringing in the Madeline Slide. I'll be ripping the back
Speaker 1: Zoo solo.
Speaker 10: Nice.
Speaker 1: We just want to keep these gigs high energy as
Speaker 1: we can, especially for our fans who've been to a
Speaker 1: lot of us. It's good to keep things fresh for them.
Speaker 12: Yeah, definitely, because yeah, because we do a lot of
Speaker 12: half of our shows as well, and with the ep
Speaker 12: be and six songs, we try to get them all
Speaker 12: on and then we might only get time for like
Speaker 12: one or two that they haven't sinned, but with dicilms
Speaker 12: like an hour.
Speaker 11: And yeah, yeah, so we can fully we well it's great,
Speaker 11: it's a great set. But I say so myself.
Speaker 1: I think so, oh yeah, we didn't need to go
Speaker 1: off our range and get more people interested in compacy
Speaker 1: us live where they can see the rest of our songs.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Absolutely. Where should people go online? Where's the best place
Speaker 10: for people to go to keep up with everything that
Speaker 10: you guys are doing.
Speaker 11: The Instagram, for sure, or the TikTok.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Instagram, the TikTok. We're on Twitter as well,
Speaker 1: but sparsely use it, and we are at that band
Speaker 1: bride on everything on YouTube, Twitter, TikTok. And speaking of YouTube,
Speaker 1: there is a music video for Creature Culture that will
Speaker 1: be dropping at three pm tomorrow, three pm GMT. So
Speaker 1: your time, Okay, I do, of course, I know my
Speaker 1: time conversions off my heart.
Speaker 10: You did say it with confidence. It sounds like, you know,
Speaker 10: so that's good. Look forward to I look forward to
Speaker 10: seeing that. That's very cool. Okay. So in a moment,
Speaker 10: and I really appreciate you guys joining us today, we're
Speaker 10: gonna play oh yeah, absolutely. We're actually going to play
Speaker 10: two songs. But so the first one is the one
Speaker 10: that you asked us to play to end the segment,
Speaker 10: which is We're out of gravy. So the obvious question
Speaker 10: before we play that one, I want to know, like,
Speaker 10: is this literally about running out of gravy or what
Speaker 10: what is this about?
Speaker 12: Yeah, when I came up with the title, it was
Speaker 12: literally just me running out of gravy when I was
Speaker 12: trying to put it on some chicken.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Then then it kind of it went from there with
Speaker 12: the you know, the whole gravy train metaphor and okay,
Speaker 12: just personal things in my in my life, and I
Speaker 12: was reading I was also reading the Clockwook Orange as
Speaker 12: well as I just finished reading it. Yeah, and yeah,
Speaker 12: I just thought I had the you know that some
Speaker 12: components that I could put together just to make make
Speaker 12: a little tune out of it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but that brings on to a good point.
Speaker 1: Most of our songs are just start tend to start
Speaker 1: with the song title we think sounds quite amusing, and
Speaker 1: then from there we'll try and uh base it in
Speaker 1: some sort of reality.
Speaker 10: Interesting, So you start with the title A lot of
Speaker 10: the time, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: I helped people, the theme helps people. The theme Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: can help me try and get me more creative.
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, that that makes sense. So we're gonna play
Speaker 10: that one in a moment. And the one I'm gonna
Speaker 10: sneak in after that too, is the one that ends
Speaker 10: the EP. Hideous monsters and the people that love them.
Speaker 10: I love the song. I enjoyed the I enjoyed the
Speaker 10: entire EP, but this one really really kind of speaks
Speaker 10: to me and anything we should know about this one.
Speaker 15: This was written a time in my life when I
Speaker 15: started getting back into the dating and I had had
Speaker 15: some it's had some issues about how I look like,
Speaker 15: and I just wanted to write a song for myself
Speaker 15: that encouraged me to get out there and see what
Speaker 15: the world has to offer despite my own reservations.
Speaker 1: I just remember I was at.
Speaker 11: Work and then Joe he just sent me a text
Speaker 11: saying that he's made a He's made a new one.
Speaker 11: And then I was like, I think I was a
Speaker 11: bit tired, and I came around and he got it.
Speaker 12: He'd like recording on his laptop, just like a little demo,
Speaker 12: and then yeah, just it all just started coming from there,
Speaker 12: and I was.
Speaker 11: Just super impressed. It was.
Speaker 1: I think we probably spent maybe seven eight hours just
Speaker 1: sat in my room in thirty degree heat with no
Speaker 1: windows trying to finish that song. Oh wow, and then
Speaker 1: getting Coocer and James on it as well just propelled.
Speaker 12: It into that was a huge The baseline in the
Speaker 12: verses on that is it's brilliant from Okay, and I'm
Speaker 12: glad you like.
Speaker 1: That song as well because speaking of music videos, oh
Speaker 1: yes we are.
Speaker 11: We are in the process of recording the video for
Speaker 11: that one as well.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's likely to be.
Speaker 11: Yeah, my directorial debut will be We're all very proud
Speaker 11: of you.
Speaker 10: Oh very cool. That is awesome. Okay, okay, well that
