Matt Connarton Unleashed: Abel Blood

So the cars the post. No one now to pick it out or to

clean it up, study away pulling out on me. Just need a little

says Star walking back the moon. That in every day. Very nice.

That is scraped the dirt from able Blood. And these guys are here with

us in studio, and able Blood is here. Welcome guys. How's it

going, Matt? Very well? Very well? Adam, let's we'll start

with you'll tell us who you are and what you do in the band.

Oh, I'm Adam. I'm the lead singer and uh lead guitar player and

uh swapping off bass duties. Okay, very good, very good. And

Jim Jim de Luca, i'd play drums all right, and Malcolm Cells I

play rhythm guitar and sink back up and half the bass, half the base

and half the bass. Okay, So so on the record, so well,

so how does that work live? Then? Oh? It's pretty cool.

We use a splitter aby wise splitters and really yeah, it really drives

it home, no kidding. Yeah. People keep coming up and asking us

too, They're like, how are you doing this? You had no bass

player, there's a there's a I'm like, no, we're bass players.

We're all we're both bass players, and they're like the low ends there.

Yeah, they just they they are like where is he? And uh yeah,

but it works. That's incredible. I've never heard of anyone doing that

before. Yeah, do you know if anyone else who does it that way?

I've never Royal Blooded yet, Connectic Jetty really yeah, they'll be fans

out there that never would have even occurred to me. But that's that's brilliant.

That's really cool. I think the most famous fan that did it was

I think local h Yeah, that's that's true. Okay, I forgot about

that. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Wow, that's cool though.

All right. Yeah, well it seems to work. Huh yeah, we

definitely so. So in studio what do you what do you just? How

does it work in studio? In studio we had it, we had a

bass play. Yeah, we had a bas player okay, gotcha, but

not like an official member officially, it's just the three of you. Yeah,

it's just the three of us here, okay, okay. And we

were kind of talking off air two about I opened with a mental note,

it's just such an epic song and what is it about? Eleven and a

half minutes, eleven and a half minutes, but it's so like we were

talking off air, it goes by quickly. It doesn't feel like it's that

long, right, And the response in the chat room was very positive.

People were really digging it so so really well, I think, like like

you two guys too, We've I've listened to the album probably four times today,

really yeah, just and I always thought like too long, but then

I'm listening to it, it's like, wow, that kind of yeah,

before you know it's over, Yeah, yeah, because it just it pulls

you in and you get so in tune to it that next thing you know

is, oh, the song's over, Like oh my god, I can't

believe it's been twelve minutes, but yeah, eleven and a half minutes or

whatever it is. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And I feel like all

these songs have kind of an uh, I mean, mental note probably because

it's so long. It's particularly epic was the word I used. And I

think one of you had said that. That was the second second time today.

That's someone had said that to us. Yeah. Yeah, but all

the songs, I feel like have kind of a big sound we're going for.

We want to be Loud We want to be like like our description usually

is, we try to be a wall of sound. Yep, yeah,

that's what we want. Oh, that's funny. I was talking to yesterday.

We had on a guest Mike Laughlin, who's I don't know if you

guys know, I'm very, very talented singer songwriter. He does kind of

mostly displays by himself acoustic. But we were talking about that how how important

it is, especially with a live show, to have that wall of sound.

I love being swallowed up in it. Yes, yes, exactly,

exactly. And this just came out today, right arrival of the waves of

the new albums today. Yep, where do you guys record this? Woman?

Recorded in Jaffrey at Loudsun Studio. Okay, we did the recording and

mixing there with Ben Rogers. Guys. Excellent. This is the second time

we had recorded an album with him, and then we had it mastered here

in Manchester at black Heart Sound. Okay, that's yes, that's the name.

I hear a lot of these tremendous job. Absolutely everything I've heard is

positive, both in terms of hearing people talking about him and when I've literally

heard on the show. It seems like, we've had a bunch of artists

on who who've hyeah, he's worked with ata. I gotta get him on

the show. Yeah, yeah, definitely a couple bands. Yeah, pretty

good, well, incredible, very talented guitar player. What what bands is

he in? Do you no? Offhand? Magnetarnet Crown Visions. He does

one with his girlfriend and it's it's oh, no kidding, it's uh,

I'm familiar with magnetar. Yeah, yeah, I gotta yeah, I definitely

have to get him on that. I didn't realize. I didn't realize that

was him in that band. So this, uh so, what what went

into the decision to do I mean, it's yeah, it's it's a it's

an album nine tracks. What went into the decision to do a full album?

Because obviously we live in an era. I mean, we're all old

enough to remember when it was, you know, either make an album or

maybe an EP. But most bands make albums right back in the day,

and now we live in a time when you can kind of do it.

There's many different ways to do it. You can make an album, you

can make an EP, you can just release a bunch of singles. Maybe

you release a single once a month and eventually it makes an album. What

went into the decision to do a full album? I have a reputation of

pooping songs out. Yeah, so we have a bunch. Yeah, And

I knew when you were looking at me that that's what you were thinking too.

Well. I was thinking, can we say poop on the radio?

Yeah? Yes you can, yes, yes, pop. So yeah,

we had them and and we're pretty tight. We practice, you know,

regularly, so going into the studio, we crack these all out in less

than two full days. We're able to get everything recorded. Yeah. So

yeah, we went and prepared, so we were like, let's just do

it. Let's gets to be honest, I'm sure we would have been able

to decide which songs to put on the album what's not So it worked out

very well. Is there also an advantage to doing it? I mean,

obviously when you're doing it quickly, like the pressure is on. But at

the same time, I would imagine you you are able to capture some degree

of spontaneity when you're not doing it over and over again. Yeah, you

know, yeah, totally. Well. Mental note particularly that's that song is

It's a different song every time we play We did that on one take,

no kidding, one take on I think everything was one take. Yeah,

pretty much about but we took a month off of gigging and just practiced over

and over and over, so, you know, because we're kind of cheap

and we didn't want to waste money in the stud. Yeah. Oh that's

another that's another good reason to to get it done quickly. Adam put it

good. We were well prepared to do that, so yeah, we went

in with the with the with an agenda, and we completed it. Yeah,

and mental note you said, mental notes kind of different every time you

play it. Yeah, it's it's a jam like you jam it, so

it's it's We were nervous to record it only because we wanted to capture the

feeling that we normally have with it. But it's always different. So we

were just like, all right, let's just go in and do it.

If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. And

we were just like as soon as we were done. Normally, I don't

know how long we usually play that song for. It's a different length every

time we stopped and we asked Ben when we recorded it, We're like,

how long was that one? And he's like eleven and a half minutes.

We're all jaws all dropped. We're like, yeah, it was it was

we thought we were playing for like six or seven though, it was gonna

be like seven seventy eight minutes. Yeah. Oh that's funny. Oh that's

cool. And so so you didn't even have any time in mind. You

just kind of just when it was done, and when it was done,

it was done. Yeah that's cool. Yeah, because that's the only really

long one. The rest of the tracks are all, you know, three

four minutes for the average length song. Yeah. Yeah, I mean our

first EP had a had a nine and nine and a half minute song,

Fire on the Hillside, so real. Yeah, So it was kind of

I thought it was kind of cool to come back with this album and do

another finale if you if you would, Yeah, yeah. Has the sound

Did the sound change at all between album progress? Yeah, we got a

lot more psychedelic. We kept the heavy, but the heavy feels heavier.

That's good. Yeah, yeah, very cool. We've got able blood here

with us in studio with Ronda Fervero from California is in the Facebook live chat

and said wall of sound, a phrase coined by phil Specter. Indeed,

I didn't know that. I didn't know that's where the term came from.

Yeah, very cool. Uh, speaking of where things come from, where

does the name come from? Able Blood? So we're Jimmy and I grew

up in the Brookline Hollis area and there's a cemetery on the Nashua and Holliess

Line Pineal Cemetery and it's famous for having being probably the most haunted cemetery in

New Hampshire, and it's haunted by the spirit of able Blood. Okay,

Yeah. There was actually a finger on his gravestone and when kids would go

there at night, the finger would be pointing up during the day and at

night a lot of people would say that the thinker would be pointing down towards

the ground. If you go online and look it up, there's a whole

Oh yeah, it's Weatherby did a story on him real Yeah. Yeah.

Do you ever go there? Yeah? Yeah, you've all you've a well.

Thirty years ago, Jimmy and I were in a band together and we

used to jam on the property that bordered the cemetery, No kidding. Yeah,

do you ever see anything or hear anything or cool? Yeah? And

you know, the headstone's been vandalized. And yeah, I think they've actually

taken the headstone out. Oh yeah, I think it's that it's at the

Holest police department. I believe that's how the story goes. Oh wow,

yeah, interesting, it's an interesting story looking up sometimes. Yeah. Yeah,

we should all get arrested so we can take a picture with the headstone.

There we go. That would be very very rock and roll. That

would be so metal. I originally thought before he joined the band that it

was a biblical rafflers to us. That's what I vengeance from the earth.

Yeah, this is just as cool. Yeah Blood was actually a person.

Yeah yeah, that is pretty cool. And what a badass name to have,

Able Blood. If if able Blood were alive today, he wouldn't no

doubt he'd be proud be playing and be playing in a metal band. You

would have to Yeah, I don't know. I see him as like a

Polka kid. Yeah yeah, there you go, perfect play. Yeah,

bring it together and and the album is called Arrival of the Waves. Oh

and by the way, I should hold up for for people watching online.

I'll hold it up so the to the camera. There you can see it.

Very cool. Artwork. Yeah, you were telling me about how the

how the artwork came about. Actually, Malcolm would be much better to explain.

Yeah, yeah, how did you uh, how did you come about

this? Uh this out this outwork artwork? I do a lot. I

started playing with AI art Generation, Yeah, and I would, uh,

I'd create images and then kind of tweak them in Photoshop and yeah, I

got really into a Polish artist, bec Synski, and it's really it's disturbing

stuff, but it's it's it's really neat art. So yeah, I try

to do stuff in his style. So that's yeah, that's like I always

wanted to draw our paint and I never really could, so yeah, the

AI kind of Yeah. So when you're when you're coming up with these,

do you go into the generator and then I know a little bit about it,

So do you do you type in a prompt like imagine, I don't

know what you would type in for prompts to get these images, to be

honest with. The cover is Arrival of the Waves. I typed in Arrival

of the Waves, put in a couple of operators that got me the style

and colors that I wanted. That's kind of smoothed it. And yeah,

that's cool because it's you know, in a way, it's not what I

would expect with that prompt, if that makes sense. Were you surprised at

the image it generated. I'm constantly surprised at some of the things that generates.

I'll do like experiments where I will I'll pick an album and I'll take

every every song title, yeah, and just do an art prompt on that,

kidding, and it gets some pretty cool stuff. And I've actually started

writing, you know, poetry and lyrics based on the photos I get back.

Oh, no, kidding. Artwork it generates because it doesn't always it's

not like a one to one you know, matchup as far as you know

what you put in and what you get out, So it always spits out

something kind of neat that that, you know, sometimes sparks something in me.

Yeah, so next album, yeah, and then and then so all

the images in the artwork, they were all done that way. Yes,

all right, I have to ask you so And unfortunately, well I'll hold

it up for the camera again for people watching on video people listening won't know.

But I am very curious what prompt generated that. I think that prompt

was keeping Pace with the Elephants, which is the name of the Oh,

yes, okay, I see it now. I didn't even see it at

first looking at it. That's why I looks like an elephant with palettes on

it. Yeah, yeah, but no, but it's cool. It's a

cool I didn't know what I was looking at. That's why I was so

curious about it. But it looked interesting. But that makes sense now I

see it. And I loved on the cover of the little I don't know

if you want to call it a being, but whatever that little being is,

I think that's awesome. I love I've always loved that. Yeah,

I'll hold it up again for the camera. It's and people can, obviously,

you know, go online, go on band camp and you'll you'll find

it. But I think that yeah, And I think that's why I said

for that prompt, I wouldn't have expected necessarily this image because like I would

expect that being to be a surfer, but that's not a surfer. It's

it's just interesting. It's fascinating me. But it used a lot to the

imagine. Yeah, which is cool. Yeah, yeah, oh we should

mention two Adam you it's funny and and this has happened to me before.

It it's inevitable. But when you guys got here, I think the first

thing you said to me was we had met before. Yeah, yeah,

and it was like thirteen years ago. You were in the band Buck fifty

five. Yes, and that and that's still online. People can still go

on. Yeah, it's on a reverb nation. Whatever happened to that band

anyway? Well, we lived far apart. Yeah, so yeah, it

was it was harder and harder to get to practice. Yeah, you know,

we're still friends. Actually saw him two weeks ago. Oh good.

Yeah, yeah, we still see each other all the time. Yeah,

very cool. Excellent, excellent, Well let's psalm. Let's do this.

Let's play another track from the new album just out today, Arrival of the

Waves from able Blood and what would you guys? I'll let you guys pick

what would you like? Lection? Yeah, let's do a reflection, all

right, anything you want us to know about this song before we before we

play the song's a trip that are probably our most psychedelic songs the album,

okay, and probably the quick We wrote this literally in minutes, yeah really,

yeah, the whole thing came together, Yeah, within within twenty minutes.

Yeah, we had all the parts written out. Oh no kidding,

ready to go? Yeah, okay, all right, very cool. Let's

check this out. This is Reflections, brand new from able Blood. That's

a cool instrumental. That is Reflections. The band is able Blood. We've

got the guys in studio with us, and we've been talking and we're gonna

talk some more. But we've got the guys from able Blood here in studio

with us. Do you guys play out a lot? You playing a lot

of shows? Quite a bit? Yeah, quite a bit. We go

play on Saturday night. We're gonna be up in Maine at Charlie Hill.

Yeah, playing with your friends Crooked Cash. Yes, I said hi by

the way, Yes, yes, Yeah. We had those guys on a

number of months ago and they're coming back soon. Yeah. Really really good,

Jenny said in the chat room. I really love this music. Yeah,

than Jenny, Thank you, Jenny, Absolutely really good stuff. When

you guys, you mentioned a song like mental Note, it kind of changes

every time you play what about what about the other songs? Do any of

the other songs change or is it really just Mental Note? Because it's such

a jam. I think my solos kind of change here and there. I

don't like. I don't memorize any of them. So the solos might change

a little bit, but the meat and bones of the songs stay pretty close

to the same every time. Yeah, I might have a little bit different

tone if I've thrown my my pedal board bag around a little bit, and

some of the knobs might be turned, so he might sound a little different

tonally, But otherwise we've made the mistake when we do a mental note live,

like it's all the pedals and we just crank them all the show and

just you know, another wall of sound, and I've made the mistake of

you know, not touching my board after a show mental note. The next

night I go to sound check, I crank every knob on my delay pedal,

and the next time I go to play, everything will be going when

I turn it back on the next day. What it is matters is we

kept the song in the exact same way that we created it. We created

it with no boundary. We I think that jam Adam just started playing the

beginning part. I came in on drums, Malcolm came in on guitar,

and it just ended up jamming it for a huge length of time. We

because we've been playing together for a while, we kind of know what each

other do. And the song came to an end, We're like, oh

my god, we gotta record that. I also think Malcolm and I had

just gone to see Godspeed You Black Emperor not long before that very noise rocky

who would sound. Yeah, yeah, so we had just seen them.

They were very noise rocky sound you know. So so everybody we really inspired

after We did it the same way. We just jammed it and ended it

when we felt that it was time to end the song. Yeah, And

it held that way all the way through going in the studio and recording the

album. We did it the same, the same way. We've recorded everything

live except for the vocals, so we were able to just literally jam these

tunes. Oh wow. Yeah, have you guys been together a long time?

How long has this band been around? Jimmy and I have been jamming

while pre Pandemic. We were actually in a band about thirty years ago together,

a band called No Thanks. We're like a y metal band. Yeah

yeah, early nineties, and then took a long, long, long break.

But we started doing this again probably in twenty twenty nineteen. We took

a break at the beginning of the pandemic for a little while, just until

we could figure out what was going on. And then after that we got

together and Jimmy and I have been like the constant. We've had members come

and go yeah, and then Malcolm has been with us for who's never hearing,

Who's never gonna go. We're not gonna allow We're gonna break his leg.

He's gonna be the first one that we don't allow to get that.

So it's kind of settled into this is what we are now. Yeah,

very cool. You big Spinal Tap guy? Oh I love that movie.

Anything those guys touch, yeah, yeah, goes to eleven. Yeah.

The other show that I'm on on Fridays hosted by Police. We always kind

of break his balls because he's never seen Spinal Tap. See that's one of

those and he would love it, and we're always telling him, dude,

you'd love it. I'm I have a reputation of never seen having seen a

film, and I've seen it. Yeah, I've actually seen six movies.

I would love to watch Spinal Tap for the first time again. Yeah.

Yeah, that's something though. You may have to suspend that friendship so that

I know that connection is may I know it's like, you know, not

grounding an amp or something like that. Something bad's gonna happen. Yeah,

he's he's also never seen Purple Rain and that one. I've never seen Purple

You've never seen? Wow? I love the album. Yeah, but no,

I've never watched the movie. Oh, you gotta see it. A

prince is acting as pen No, I'm kidding. Actually he's not that great,

but much better musician than an actor. No, but the film,

it is an incredible film. You should see it. Even like Morris Day

at the time, seeing those guys perform live, Oh yeah, crap.

Yeah, yeah, that band was full of talent. I wish I had

seen them live, Like, yeah, me too, me too, Yeah,

I would have loved that. Well, I guess technically they're still I

think. I think they still tour more day. I think, yeah,

I think they just call it Morris Day or something. They don't have to

call it Morris Day in the time anymore. But I think it's essentially the

same band, which have a different name that they go by now. Rona

Ferverro in the chat room, our friend from California. She says the guitar

work in that last song, Reflections had a really cool Robin Trauer vibe.

Oh, gridge of Size is one of my favorite tunes, and that's the

sound I was going for with the Oh I'm gonna freaking cry scaled it.

Well done, Rhanda, well done. Yeah. Yeah, you guys were

kind of talking off air too while the song was planned that it's been a

good day in terms of the response to the good feedback. Yeah, absolutely,

Any anything in terms of feedback that's really kind of surprised you, Like,

oh, I wasn't expecting someone to well, people other than people were

friends with were related to liking it surprises me. Yeah. I had a

plant manager at my company out of the Blue asked me for a copy the

other day, and he sent me an album review this morning, really and

he used epic and hypnotic for mental note. Oh, And I was like

just blown away that this guy actually took the time, you know, out

of his day, and he was like, after the third time I've listened

to it twenty four hours, I'm like, are you kidding me? So

it was funny that we actually got somebody to listen to this album more than

once in that short of a time. Yeah, Oh that's really cool.

And with mental note, anytime, you know, you have eleven and a

half second song, you wonder how that's going to be received some people,

And so far it almost seems like it's the favorite on the album. So

far, so good. Yeah, from the feedback that I've gotten anyway.

Yeah, you know though, like all these songs are cool, but mental

note is is you know, it's like, all right, so an eleven

and a half song was well received, that's good. Yeah, yeah,

yeah, you just never know. I mean that's part of the adventure of

it in a sense, right, Yeah, but uh yeah, that's that's

really cool. Do you do you play any of the older songs live?

Still? We do a lot lately. We've been doing two songs off the

album. We remember promoting the new album, you know, for quite a

few months now, like yeah, mostly new stuff, but they're going to

end up making most of the songs will end up making the way back into

the rotation. I'm looking at I'm looking back at it. These songs are

really viable songs, and they're really good. I think I could have gone

back and nit picked them a little bit more on the recordings Yeah, but

they're good songs and they we do rotate them in. We do rotate them

in. Yeah, And the EP was very well received. It was well

received. Yeah. Yeah. And on this new album, the bonus track

at the end is the title track off our first EP, Keeping Pace with

the Elephants. Oh. That's why it's called slight, Return and Return because

we do it differently on this album, because this one we do a stripped

down acoustic version and I play on a Cohne rather than a drum set.

Yeah, it came out and it still sounds really heavy, really great about

Ben Like the drum sound he got out of that cane was unreal. Yeah,

and it ties Malcolm into the first album because he wasn't around for the

first album, so it kind of brings him back to it. So because

of that, we play Keeping Pace with the Elephants live a lot right now

because it is a song that's on the album, and if if people haven't

heard the first album, they hear that song and then they go back and

they you know, investigate that we have another album, and they listen to

them. They just Keeping Pace with the Elephants again and then they hear the

full band version. That's you know, full on distortion everything, and it's

you know, we thought it would kind of be a neat little thing to

do. Yeah. Yeah, plus Adam and I and Malcolm, we'll do

open mics some nights, doing stripped down versions of our songs, kind of

kind of how that was born too. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, Yeah,

we'll pick an open mic every once in a while, and yeah,

we'll just show it as a band. Yeah. Oh wow, I'll just

do it. Oh, very cool. It's cool to have that kind of

flexibility to do that. Yeah. I wrote everything that we've recorded on an

acoustic guitar. Oh yeah, pretty pretty. So they translate quite well.

Yeah. Yeah. You ever have anything that doesn't translate that you write it

on the acoustic and then you go, I don't know if this works plugged

in. We haven't come across the thin. Yeah, he's brought stuff to

us that I've been like, you know, I don't know if that'll work

with distortion. This will be a melaw song. Yeah. We kicked the

pedals and it's like that sounds good. I want to hear it distorted like

really, like, yeah, kept them past work that way. It was

an acoustic song and Jimmy's like, I want the fuzz pedal on on that,

and we did it, and we were like, whoa, all right,

let's do it. It was the last song I thought we were gonna

put fuzz on. I think it was, Keith Richards said in an interview

once though. If it doesn't work with just an acoustic guitar, right,

it's you know, yeah, right right, Well we should Uh yeah,

we got time, why don't we? Uh you want to give that one

to listen? Kept them past because I think you had said you were that

was the original single, right that you were kind of using. Yeah,

yeah, yeah, let's let's give this one a spin. All right,

this is kept Uh, I'm sorry. I kept them past from Able Blood

and the brand new album out today, Arrival of the Waves. Check this

out. I would see him for a while. It's like a knight that

never ends. Appreciate the final things for the Dolls, got a blue Ones

and alone, spaced for a kid a little while, A little wine would

you put down on the gas? Tiny missed up, Pony to one from

the water Only carry came an hour for Our Pass, Kept them passed by

Able Blood from the brand new album Arrival of the waves. We've got these

guys in studio with us, and uh, you guys, uh you go

for those long uh the you know, the decay with the feedback a lot

of Yeah. I like that. I like that a lot. Yeah.

I think that's part of what gives it that epic quality. It doesn't seem

like a lot of bands really do that anymore. I mean, that's probably

more than I realized. But I don't know, I feel like it's been

a while since I've kind of heard that ending to a song. You know,

I'm too lazy to figure anything else out. I just hit that last

note and let it ring. Yeah, yeah, it works, It works.

It's bringing me back to spinal tap. You can just hit that,

go out and have a fight, right right, it's just sustained. Yes,

don't touch that. Use that time to put your pedals back to where

they belong. Right now, what do you guys have coming up? As

far as you got any shows this weekend? You must be playing somewhere September.

Yeah, this Saturday night, we're up in Charlie's Hill and h up

in Lebanon, Maine. Okay, the end of the month with September twenty

ninth. We're actually here in town on Elm Street. We're at Top Shelf

Tattoo Excellent. Yeah, we're gonna be playing with dust Profit. Yeah.

I used to be in a band with Auto from Yeah Yeah, yeah,

and Trading Tombstone is gonna be on that bill. And there's a band coming

up from Philadelphia called shadow Witch. Okay, we're really looking forward. We're

playing super Show yeah yeah, yeah, which playing shows has been great because

we've talked about this. I love shows we get on where it's like four

bands and nobody sounds, you know, and you just, yeah, just

make some buddies and listen to a whole bunch of different kinds of music.

It is really great playing with like out a lot. Like we've gotten to

know so many bands around the area, and yeah, like love all of

them, you know what I mean, as people love their music. Yeah,

you know, it seems like you guys too, can kind of fit

in with different like you know, yeah, you fit in with metal bands,

but you also probably fit Yeah. I think in the beginning we had

a trouble getting gigs because people didn't know where to put us. Yeah,

because we had heavy riffs, so we couldn't we could play with hardcore bands,

but we didn't quite fit in with that, and then we will play

with some metal bands and we didn't quite fit in that. So they're just

trying to figure us out. But we're starting to get quite a bit of

games. We're also playing October twenty second at Pub on the Park in Cranston,

Rhode Island, Okay, and then November twenty six we're backup in mail.

You have to change that sixteenth November sixteenth, another show, another show

with dust profit Yes, oh, very cool, outstanding, outstanding. Oh.

Jenny shared the link in the chat room two to band camp and I

assume this is on all the streaming services right, yeah. I was all

released at midnight. The only one it wasn't on this morning was Pandora.

Okay, yeah, it'll be there, it'll be there. Yeah, it's

definitely on Spotify, It's on Amazon Music, Apple Musical Music. Outstanding,

outstanding. And you've got physical copies physical CDs. Appreciate, I appreciate you

you guys bringing those in. Was that was that a difficult decision whether or

not to make physical discs or no, we just didn't know if we wanted

to do vinyl or CD. I think we wanted to do vinyl, but

it's expensive. Yeah yeah, yeah, I think I exclusively. We'll say,

don't rule it out because it's a possibility that it's coming. Yeah.

So yeah, yeah, I'd like to see that artwork in a big gun.

That's the that's the beauty of the most beautiful part about the vinyl is

being able to put the big, huge artwork on it. Oh yeah,

yeah. Well I can remember buying stuff simply because of the artwork. Oh

yeah, and being like, Okay, I'm going to roll the dice on

this because if they like this art. That's how you found music back in

the day when you didn't have Internet, you didn't have any other way to

to you know, when you were in the mood for something new, you

went to the local record store and you stopped looking at artwork. Yeah.

It was either doing that or Headbanger's Ball. It was the only two ways

I knew it was getting it twenty minutes. Yep, I missed them both.

I've got somewhere in a storage unit, there's I've got a bunch of

vh old VHS tapes, so of Headbangers Ball. I'm sure they don't play

anymore, even if I had anything to play them on. They're probably all

super damaged and and all that. But now where should people I want to

make sure two people know where to go online to keep up with everything you

guys are doing as far as shows and whatnot. We keep our Facebook,

Able Blood Facebook up to date most Yeah. I'd like to say I'm good

with the Instagram, but I'm not. Yeah, I don't keep it up

very well. Yeah, but I do post on there fairly frequently. Jimmy

does the EPKA. He keeps that up to date. And uh, you

can go there and you can see past shows, upcoming shows, videos,

The bio links to all our socials. Okay, excellent, excellent. I

think to get the the most current stuff is probably our Facebook page. Yeah,

okay, okay, And we should make sure people know too. Able

is ab e L just so no one's misspelling it looking for you guys,

Yes, although if you google it the other way you probably still come up.

I would, I would hope. But you come up with able Blood

and savable yeah, oh okay, come up when you do it? Yeah?

Yeah. And then obviously this this album is fresh, it came out

today. But are you already thinking about the next one, because you said

you were about halfway done writing, yeah, the next one. Yeah,

yeah, it's gonna be heavier too. Yeah. Really, and the song

Arrival of the Waves will probably end up on that album. Yeah. So,

oh so there's an actual song called Arrival of the Waves. Yeah,

that's how we got the name. Yeah. Yeah, so we like to

I like to do little homages to, you know, bands that I like,

and this might be our homage to led Zeppelin. Oh kidd okay,

you know, like they had houses all the holy was on what physical graffiti?

Yeah, maybe we'll do something like that. Or we'll just put a

rival on the of the Waves yea on the next album. Or we'll just

steal a bunch of blues music and we could do that. Ah. Yes,

that's been a subject on Retrospectrum Radio with Police. The other show that

I'm on later on Fridays is led Zeppelin and their uh plagiarism, some of

which is really blatant. Yeah. I can't believe that they won that case

against what was it Targas or Targus or whatever. Oh no, sorry,

I don't want to get into this now. View I know, I know,

I know what you're talking about. No, it's it's what was the

name of the band anyway? Yeah, yeah they did when the Zeppelin won

that one, didn't they because it's really just one part of it that's the

same. But man, some of them well yeah, yeah, the main

riff, but some of those uh yeah, some of those songs that they

took from blues artists. Like it's not even just the riffs, it's like

it's like the lyrics too. It's like, oh my god, just shameless.

I mean, I love Zeppelin, no offense. I mean, you've

you've got the shirt, but uh but yeah, they even stole a song

from Joan Baiaz. Did you know that? I don't remember what song it

is, but yeah, there's a song. I only know this because Paul

see those of Retrospection Radio brought us my attention. There's a Joan Baia's song

that they lift it and it's and when you hear it, it's like it's

obvious, Like it's not even ambiguous, it's really obvious. It's like,

oh my god, crazy. Yeah. Yeah, well, guys, this

has been wonderful. I really I really appreciate y'all coming in. We'll we'll

close the show out with one more track and guys, thank you again and

it's been great absolutely, And what song would you like to close with?

Needs to live? Anything? Anything? Uh? Why this one? Anything

we should know about our most wall of sound? Wally sound? Oh is

it? Yeah? Oh? Very long? Yeah, all right, all

right. We love how it starts off mellow and then just smacks you in

the mouth. Really yeah. I kind of want you to tell the story

but behind seven dead? Oh oh I'm curious. Oh seven dead story?

Oh well that's I was watching a publisher's clearing house commercial one day and I

couldn't come up with any lyrics. Yeah, and so I wrote the song

about a publisher's clearing house giveaway. Yeah, yeah, that was it.

I mean it was. Yeah. I'm kind of a strange topic for a

band that's heavy. But why seven dead? How did you get seven bad

from? Well? You know, I always imagine like really old people winning

the publishers clearing house and you were winning seven thousand dollars a day for people

dead. Seven of them are dead every week. I don't know. Okay,

Yeah, you ever read a song about like consumer cellular or anything?

That might be the next subject I talk about maybe maybe a cathet or commercial

on I'm working at a concept album about boost Mobile. Yeah, excellent,

excellent. All right, that's a little younger generation though, that's not really

want to connect with the kid we're gonna get You're gonna get old though,

they will. Adam keeps me thinking though. On our first album, the

first track of the album is called The Day that Moby Died yea, and

people thought he was targeting the rapper Moby Yeah yeah, which we were.

We had a review. Somebody reviewed our album and tagged him in it.

That's fantastic, not that not that we wouldn't want to get in an argument

with Mobi, right, I mean right, you know, good publicity.

Melanie said in the chat room. I love doing the publishers clearing house.

I will do it for years. Uh convinced we are just a week away

from being millionaires. You can all you can already be a winner? Is

that clears? Okay? All right, we gotta go. So we're gonna

listen to this. This is needs to Live from the band Able Blood.
