Speaker 1: I mean, Matt, I suspect from looking at you probably
Speaker 1: haven't been around as long as younger than my kids.
Speaker 7: Yeah that hurts, doesn't it.
Speaker 8: It's actually really good because Matt adds a real different
Speaker 8: perspective to the band, the music and just off views
Speaker 8: of different things, and even the way we with the
Speaker 8: band talk about the band. You know, he's like, you know, hey,
Speaker 8: you know, oh guys, you got to get on TikTok
Speaker 8: or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, us up to date on the new
Speaker 1: lingo and the right.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's down a couple of things, like you
Speaker 2: can't say that people are gonna make fun of you
Speaker 2: on the internet.
Speaker 1: Right. It's good to have that. Yeah, it's good to
Speaker 1: have be able to have that perspective of the band. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 1: When did you guys start? Well, when did uh?
Speaker 5: Because I mean Bruce, Bruce and I have known each
Speaker 5: other since two are three?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, we grew up.
Speaker 4: Our moms took us to the same park when we
Speaker 4: were down in Malden, Massachusetts, Boston. Yeah, and you know,
Speaker 4: then we went to school and you know, kind of
Speaker 4: lived on opposite sides, but we got together in our
Speaker 4: teens and just started throwing things around and then we
Speaker 4: formally I joined his band with the drummer and and.
Speaker 1: A bass player back.
Speaker 8: In eighty one eighty one, okay, yeah, so and the
Speaker 8: bass player went pond. We were pretty much born across
Speaker 8: the street from each other. Yeah, so I've known Lens
Speaker 8: since I've known life, and yeah, we just came up
Speaker 8: with this idea. And I was in a couple of
Speaker 8: bands before, and Len's brother turned us on too, like
Speaker 8: Judas Priest and Deflipper And this is before def Leppert
Speaker 8: were really big around here. Yeah, he had come back
Speaker 8: from the army with all these eight tracks of like
Speaker 8: Leg's Diamond and a C d C. And ifn our
Speaker 8: friends are like, what's this a c DC thing? Yeah,
Speaker 8: and we just you know, loved it, and you know,
Speaker 8: we just decided we're gonna have We're gonna do a
Speaker 8: new band, and it's just gonna be the loudest, most
Speaker 8: obnoxious thing you've ever heard in your life.
Speaker 6: I think, you know, we hit that goal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the songs are you know, they're catchy, they're
Speaker 1: very accessible. I think you know what, uh so, so
Speaker 1: eighty three is that when you when you started, because
Speaker 1: you have that demo which is available on your website,
Speaker 1: the eighty three demo? Is that the first thing you
Speaker 1: guys recorded as a unit?
Speaker 4: Yes, it is, okay, the only the only Yeah, basically
Speaker 4: after that we kind of all.
Speaker 1: Went our own separate ways. Oh okay.
Speaker 5: I was in another heavy metal band for many years
Speaker 5: after that.
Speaker 1: Oh what what band? Erotica? Okay, yeah, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 4: Like be Afraid we played all over Boston Revere, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know that whole area, and that was more of
Speaker 4: a hair band kind of as a lot like skid Row,
Speaker 4: that kind of funky air band metal, yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: extreme things like that. They all wanted to move to
Speaker 4: California and become stars, and I decided to get married
Speaker 4: for the safer.
Speaker 1: Oh no kidding, no kidding.
Speaker 8: And then I formed another band called ill Wind, and
Speaker 8: that was with our current drummer.
Speaker 6: So the drummer we're working with.
Speaker 8: Now and be Afraid is my drummer from like eighty
Speaker 8: six eighty seven.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, wow, damn well, let's let's play another track

Speaker 1: idea what the name means. I'm very curious to ask
Speaker 1: you guys about that, but we'll we'll save that for
Speaker 1: after the track. Let's give this a listen. This is
Speaker 1: called Becky.
Speaker 10: Dad called her a trader at an instigator.
Speaker 9: She wrote in Boss not the asking tight dress, that
Speaker 9: is Tishue.
Speaker 11: Favor down on the frick was out.

Speaker 10: Had no shame?
Speaker 1: Again, I love it. It's got that big dramatic ending
Speaker 1: to that is Becky, Let's be f raid Boston's Final Raid.
Speaker 1: And we have the guys here with us alive in
Speaker 1: studio and uh, all right, so I need to know this.
Speaker 1: Where does it? What does the name mean?
Speaker 8: So keep in mind the name was the creation of
Speaker 8: sixteen and seven year eighteen year olds. Yeah, so we
Speaker 8: liked the name Raid. We loved it, and every time
Speaker 8: we came up with a band named someone had it.
Speaker 8: And then we thought ear Raid, like a I R
Speaker 8: air raid okay, and then we thought air raid e
Speaker 8: A R raid. We're like, no, we just like raid. Yeah,
Speaker 8: so it's kind of stupid for a metal band, but
Speaker 8: we said, hey, we'll just throw some random letters in
Speaker 8: front of it, like Ario Speedwagon, right yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the ari O and Ario Speedwagon doesn't actually
Speaker 1: mean anything, right, it's just right yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 6: So out of the ear, we just picked b an
Speaker 6: F not even meaning for it to be like be afraid.
Speaker 1: Oh okay. So and but also if you say it fast,
Speaker 1: be afraid yeah yeah, okay, so that didn't even occur
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: Everyone I've like told about it thinks that that, Like
Speaker 2: they see the website and like be afraid. They're like,
Speaker 2: oh that's a cool name. Yeah, and they're like that's
Speaker 2: that's it wasn't the point at all, that, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's just what are we supposed to be afraid of?
Speaker 6: It's like no, so no of us.
Speaker 8: So originally the name was bloody F word with an
Speaker 8: I N G raid. Yeah, and then we started to
Speaker 8: get booked and we started to get we like, obviously
Speaker 8: we can't say that on radio, right.
Speaker 1: Right, right? That is correct? So we just leaned it up.
Speaker 6: We cleaned it up to Boston's final r oh.
Speaker 1: Okay, which still means nothing.
Speaker 6: Good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's a great name.
Speaker 6: It's just us and we've never had to compete with
Speaker 6: anyone for that.
Speaker 1: Name, right right, which is important and was especially important
Speaker 1: back then. You know today it's it's because of the Internet,
Speaker 1: it's very easy to figure out if somebody already has something.
Speaker 1: But back then, yeah, you could. You could run into
Speaker 1: all kinds. You know, there might be a band, you know,
Speaker 1: you could pick a name and there's another band and
Speaker 1: they're signed, maybe they just got signed to a label somewhere,
Speaker 1: and you have no idea because you know, until you know,
Speaker 1: until you start hearing their name, you just don't know.
Speaker 1: So it's smart to pick something that you know nobody
Speaker 1: else is likely to come up with, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh so tell me, so, did you guys after
Speaker 1: the eighty three the eighty three demo? Did you guys?
Speaker 1: And you know you played out a lot and but
Speaker 1: has it really been this huge gap in time with
Speaker 1: the band or no?
Speaker 8: So, you know, Bill and I have been friends all
Speaker 8: the way through, so we would always see each other
Speaker 8: at weddings, or Bobbycue's at each other's houses and Bill
Speaker 8: we got a jam. I don't have the time. I
Speaker 8: don't have the time. Bill, we got a jam? Or
Speaker 8: we I go for Bill's I bust out a guitar.
Speaker 8: Bill would sing, get behind the drums or whatever, but
Speaker 8: I don't have the time. And Jamie, I credit Jamie.
Speaker 8: Jamie kind of was like you had you guys have
Speaker 8: to do the original demo Victim and Angel.
Speaker 1: Now who is Jamie?
Speaker 4: Jamie's the drummer, drummer, Okay, gotcha, And.
Speaker 8: We're like, He's like I always wanted to do those songs,
Speaker 8: go in the studio, would do him. And it was like, well,
Speaker 8: if we're going to do a Victim in Angel, you
Speaker 8: have to do crack the Egg.
Speaker 4: Well that's really not how that's really not how we
Speaker 4: got all it was. It was a little bit roped
Speaker 4: and doped me again. It was it was a little
Speaker 4: just jam you know nothing.
Speaker 5: Nothing, It's very casual, come on, we'll just do a
Speaker 5: couple of covers.
Speaker 1: Boom boom boom. And within two sessions it was like, okay,
Speaker 1: we got like seven songs ready to go. Oh wow.
Speaker 2: Like like Bruce mentioned, we're in a in a band
Speaker 2: that does covers, and we were in our rehearsal space.
Speaker 2: He's like a friend of mine's gonna come in and
Speaker 2: stay with us one time. So Bill showed up and
Speaker 2: did some stuff with us, and then Bruce was like,
Speaker 2: so what would you think about playing bass with us
Speaker 2: doing some of our original things.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, this was a setup from didn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean even after Erotica. That was probably around eighties, Yeah,
Speaker 4: then eight.
Speaker 1: I own my own business. I wear a lot of hats.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very busy guy, you know, you know, raising a family. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I got into a Christian rock band. I used
Speaker 4: to sing and play drums at a Lutheran church in Popsfield, Okay.
Speaker 4: And I did that for almost three years, and actually
Speaker 4: I absolutely loved it. Yeah, absolutely love because I.
Speaker 1: Hadn't played in a long time.
Speaker 4: I was briefly in a cover band after e Rotica,
Speaker 4: call Fighters Gone Mad This on.
Speaker 1: My kids were really small, Yeah, and we played a
Speaker 1: lot of places as well, and I know Bruce was,
Speaker 1: you know, he was off doing his thing.
Speaker 4: We never really kind of cross paths other than, like
Speaker 4: he said, you know, at a barbecue or a wedding
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 1: Like that, and you know we're sixty now and to
Speaker 1: come back to this is very special. Yeah. Yeah, oh
Speaker 1: that's cool. That's cool. Well we should play another track
Speaker 1: from the album. How long has this been out? By
Speaker 1: the way, this is relatively new, right is a butter month?
Speaker 1: Oh wow? Very new? Very new? Is this did you
Speaker 1: guys uh do this with a label? Or is this
Speaker 1: all DIY or.
Speaker 6: This is all d YI.
Speaker 8: So we recorded at the Record Coat in Boston, which
Speaker 8: any musicians listening, they're great. It's a nonprofit yeah, so
Speaker 8: they subsidize the cost of the recording.
Speaker 1: Ok.
Speaker 6: They have every piece of.
Speaker 8: Equipment you would need to use, from amps to guitars
Speaker 8: to drums. Which is funny because when Bill got in there,
Speaker 8: he was like a kid in a candy store, I
Speaker 8: can imagine. Yeah, And he sees the percussion area and
Speaker 8: he's running up and down the aisles like I got this,
Speaker 8: I got He comes back with an African Gembe drum.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're gonna use this and we're doing.
Speaker 8: Becky and I'm, you know, doing the hardcore punk part
Speaker 8: in the beginning, and he has the gembe drum and
Speaker 8: you know, it's our attitude. It's like allow it and
Speaker 8: he put the Gembie drum in Becky and it works.
Speaker 8: And that's been like an attitude. It's hey, just just
Speaker 8: try it. It takes us three minutes. Always play the song.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you came down with the Xylo phone in
Speaker 6: your hand, I got a little worried.
Speaker 1: Understandable. Well, what should we play next? I'll let you
Speaker 1: guys pick from the from the album.
Speaker 6: Yes, Schmo would be good. Schmo.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, you would. Uh you had mentioned that, Uh,
Speaker 1: you'd refer to that earlier, Joe Schmoe any kind of
Speaker 1: Now is Joe Shmo an actual person? Is there any
Speaker 1: kind of.
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 1: When I was a teenager, it was this It was
Speaker 1: this guy, his cat.
Speaker 4: He was a cross of aliceon Cooper, Alice Cooper and
Speaker 4: Jesus Christ himself.
Speaker 1: That's what he looked like visually, very.
Speaker 4: Thin, bainy, long hair, no front teeth, funny, funny, funny,
Speaker 4: funny guy.
Speaker 1: But he had this dark side. Obviously, he had some
Speaker 1: kind of a pass. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I hung with him for a long time, just you know,
Speaker 4: here and there. Yeah, and he just did some bizarre things.
Speaker 4: So I wrote a song, all right, and it's.
Speaker 6: Kind of funny.
Speaker 8: I mean I knew Joe too, Billy, and he was
Speaker 8: a very spastic person. So when we visited this in
Speaker 8: the studio, I said, I have to play a spastic
Speaker 8: lead that is all over the place. So that lead
Speaker 8: is that's Joe. But then we also added Matt space. Yeah,
Speaker 8: it was never in the original song. And then that
Speaker 8: interlude afterwards is another piece of music that we're like, well,
Speaker 8: we never recorded this before, no one's heard it before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we.
Speaker 6: You know, we changed it dramatically.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing like it. Oh okay, all right, well let's
Speaker 1: give this a listen. This is called Joe Schmoe. This
Speaker 1: is bfraid, Boston's Final Raid.

Speaker 1: I did it so much? Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I know it's involved, it's a lot of work, it's
Speaker 1: late nights, and I'm just I don't have the itch
Speaker 1: to do it. I would do it under the.
Speaker 4: Right circumstances, Like I told these guys, Yeah, I've just
Speaker 4: got uh you know, I've got a ton of stuff
Speaker 4: going on in my life, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well I'm not even gonna bring it up. It's

Speaker 4: if it stays fun, I will play out.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But yeah, coming home at two in the morning, getting
Speaker 4: up at five, right to go to work. And not
Speaker 4: that I have never done it. I did it all
Speaker 4: through my twenties. Yeah, but at the stage of my life,
Speaker 4: like the creature.
Speaker 8: Right now, I hate rat or out. I'll probably take
Speaker 8: heat for this, But Bill sway. Joanna texted me and
Speaker 8: she was like, you got to get him on a stage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna steal her spandex pants.
Speaker 8: But as much as Bill's like, well, it was the
Speaker 8: right thing. I guarantee people, if you get go on
Speaker 8: a stage and you put a microphone in front of him,
Speaker 8: it's not like, okay, what whatever, It's well, me's wound
Speaker 8: up like the energizer Bunny.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's like all over the place, and it's
Speaker 6: fun for me.
Speaker 1: I get the karaoke crowd going, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 8: Fun for me as a guitar player to be on
Speaker 8: stage for Bill because we really feed off each other's
Speaker 8: energy and it's the live The live Bfree shows were
Speaker 8: pretty wild, to say the least.
Speaker 4: I imagine, yeah, just before the marsh pit scenes, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, we kind of had our own
Speaker 4: little marshpit on stage.
Speaker 1: Him and I. Yeah, the rat scala and oh yeah,
Speaker 1: great time.
Speaker 8: I think the best pull from the rat was my
Speaker 8: dad and Dad, I have to clean this up for radio,
Speaker 8: and he's watching us. I'm doing backflips off the stage.
Speaker 8: We're climbing into each other. At one point during the gig,
Speaker 8: I looked at Bill. I'm like, Bill, am I bleeding?
Speaker 8: And he's looking at me. He goes, no, you look fine,
Speaker 8: and I saw a little blood on my guitar. Okay, song.
Speaker 6: Then I looked this more blood on my guitar. I'm like, no, Bill,
Speaker 6: I'm bleeding. And what happened?
Speaker 8: I knocked a tip off the switch of the guitar
Speaker 8: and they had sliced me right here. Oh but it
Speaker 8: was so clean, and my indrenaline was going. I did
Speaker 8: feel it, and you know this blood, we're doing flips,
Speaker 8: We're going all over the place. And afterwards, my dad,
Speaker 8: who's non Bill since he's a little and know the
Speaker 8: bass player and all of.
Speaker 6: Us since we're toddless, he's watching us and he's.
Speaker 8: Like, I don't know what I blank just for it.
Speaker 8: I don't know what I blank just saw. He said,
Speaker 8: But the audience enjoyed themselves, and you guys enjoyed yourselves,
Speaker 8: And he said, that's all that madness. You must have
Speaker 8: done a good job. That was the whole thing is
Speaker 8: we would take like this party on stage and literally
Speaker 8: bring it into the audience and it was like the
Speaker 8: whole thing was fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, how metal is that too? You know, you're
Speaker 1: you're bleeding and you don't even notice it because because
Speaker 1: of the adrenaline.
Speaker 8: Jumping on people's tables, kicking pictures of beer across the club.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah. I hear these stories and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's cool. We have to play it, yeah, except it's
Speaker 1: stuff you couldn't get away with today probably no. So
Speaker 1: I have to live vicariously through their memories a little bit. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: no doubt.
Speaker 6: Even what we're telling you now is being cleaned up
Speaker 6: in Sana.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: If let's put it this way, I founded an old
Speaker 8: rehearsal tape and someone left the tape player running. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and it's just conversations and an average day in the
Speaker 8: life of be Afraid.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I called our.
Speaker 6: Base player Lane. I'm like, when I got this tape,
Speaker 6: He's like, burn it.
Speaker 8: And I can say if any of those conversations were heard,
Speaker 8: no one in the band could run for public office.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: Did you guys ever get a I mean, it sounds
Speaker 1: like the show's got pretty wild. Did you ever get
Speaker 1: banned from anywhere? From playing anywhere?
Speaker 6: Or three times set the rat before we hit the stage?
Speaker 1: What are you three times you got?
Speaker 6: How does in that one day?
Speaker 1: Oh, in that one day?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 8: Friend of the Bills, He's a friend of mine too,
Speaker 8: but more bills. He decided to moon the mass Pike
Speaker 8: behind the rat scala okay, and they were like, what
Speaker 8: are you guys doing. You're out of here, and it's like, no, no,
Speaker 8: he's not in the band. And we were behind the
Speaker 8: rat drinking beers. Yeah, he goes, get in the club.
Speaker 8: So we grabbed our beers and we came in the
Speaker 8: club and now we're in the dress room drinking out
Speaker 8: beers but they're our outside beers, okay. And another person
Speaker 8: walks in the dress room, what are you doing? You
Speaker 8: don't sell those. I'm like, they told us come inside.
Speaker 8: I mean we're totally innocent, right.
Speaker 6: It was like like this is wrong.
Speaker 8: So they took and they told us you're done. You're
Speaker 8: not playing tonight again. And then we were like, you know,
Speaker 8: please please please, we'll behave. We'll behave. So we're trying
Speaker 8: to behave. I grub a beer at the bar with
Speaker 8: my dad and then the manager walks over and I
Speaker 8: had like a baby baby baby face.
Speaker 6: He goes, what are you doing.
Speaker 8: I'm like, I'm having a beer. He took other beers.
Speaker 8: Where's your id Like an idiot? I left my idea
Speaker 8: at the studio.
Speaker 5: Oh no, drinking ag was only twenty back then.
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh really yeah, And I had just turned twenty,
Speaker 8: like a couple months earlier, and I'm like he's like,
Speaker 8: that's it.
Speaker 1: You guys are done.
Speaker 6: And it's like, no, I swear I'm twenty.
Speaker 8: I go this is my dad, dad, and my father's
Speaker 8: like he's actually old enough to drink, and it was
Speaker 8: the whole thing.
Speaker 6: Third time kicked out. Okay, you guys can play again.
Speaker 8: So we went up on stage and they like the
Speaker 8: buzz in the club was like, I'm going to blackball
Speaker 8: these guys from everywhere in Boston.
Speaker 6: They're never playing anyone anywhere again.
Speaker 8: So we're going to stage. We're like, we're gonna go
Speaker 8: for broke. So was the backflips, the blood, the you know.
Speaker 8: And we got done and the manager from the route
Speaker 8: was like, next time you play, no, I mean if
Speaker 8: you haven't played here again.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 4: We played Jackson, Cambridge and it burned down a week later.
Speaker 4: They were the last rock band actually played there.
Speaker 1: Oh no kidding.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, and that was a nightmare. So what why
Speaker 6: did it?
Speaker 1: I never heard about this. Why did it burn down?
Speaker 6: It's burnt whatever? Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, it was a long time ago. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: were you guys when you guys were really active, were
Speaker 1: you playing like every every week? Were you playing it
Speaker 1: all over Boston or yeah?
Speaker 8: So we play in Boston and then we were down
Speaker 8: played down the beach Revia Beach. Oh okay, and that
Speaker 8: was always cool because we play with no bands like
Speaker 8: Mats mm hmm.
Speaker 6: And I don't know if you know those guys, but
Speaker 6: they're awesome guys.
Speaker 1: Mass. I saw them once still around. I saw them
Speaker 1: at my first concert. So my first concert was Winger Okay,
Speaker 1: that's right, Yeah, in Conquered and Mass opened for them.
Speaker 8: So no, Jean Joey, you know they're they're just like
Speaker 8: such Louis. They're just great guys. We played with them.
Speaker 8: Me and Billy played with them again in separate bands. Okay,
Speaker 8: so he was in Erotica, I was in the Wind.
Speaker 8: We played down there with them, and yeah, so yeah
Speaker 8: we would you know, we just played all over the beach.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Did did you guys play with anybody who went
Speaker 1: on to really be I mean, you know Mass people
Speaker 1: know them, but like, did you did you play with
Speaker 1: anyone who went on to Oh you played with.
Speaker 4: Before he was in the Dream Extreme he was the
Speaker 4: band I don't but yeah, and everybody, oh yeah, see
Speaker 4: he's amazing talent.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's the city we come from, Malden. It's really
Speaker 8: strange musically. So the street I grew up on, I
Speaker 8: didn't live there when he lived there, but Norman Greenbaum
Speaker 8: lived on my street. Oh no kidding, Yeah, you know
Speaker 8: Spurred in the sky. If I walked around the corner
Speaker 8: and I knew him, I grew up with him. Bobino
Speaker 8: lived around the corner. He played with Charlie Farron, then Okay,
Speaker 8: who's also from Malden. Then Bill went on to play
Speaker 8: for Steve. I go across town. There's Scary Sharon and
Speaker 8: the guys from Extreme. And before they were Extreme, they
Speaker 8: were Adrenaline. Their first guitar player, Matt McKay was my
Speaker 8: guitar teacher. Oh okidding, So we knew all those guys.
Speaker 8: And then Matt's brother Mark formed the band called Slapshot
Speaker 8: you might have heard of, yes, And then Johnny A
Speaker 8: lived in town, and Dave Robinson the Cars lived in
Speaker 8: town and boys Life and it was just these.
Speaker 6: All out of this one city.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, yeah yea, and everyone was.
Speaker 8: I'm really cool, so like Gary's little older than me,
Speaker 8: Phil from you know for Bino, and those guys would
Speaker 8: always like help you out. It wasn't like this rival band.
Speaker 8: Yeah thing, yeah at the alunch gear or give you
Speaker 8: tips or like I said, Matt.
Speaker 6: Was my guitar teacher. So yeah, it was a really
Speaker 6: good environment to grow up in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I mean that's that's great because you know,
Speaker 1: if you had grown up somewhere if you know, if
Speaker 1: any of you guys had grown up somewhere else, who knows.
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you grew up somewhere where
Speaker 1: there was no musicians around, you might not be you
Speaker 1: might not be doing music today, you know, who knows.
Speaker 8: So, like you said, it's hard to find drummers. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you could just like walk to the cafeteria in high
Speaker 8: school and go, hey, I needed a drummer.
Speaker 1: Five guys would put your hand up. It's fantastic. Yeah
Speaker 1: oh did you yeah, yeah, did you do both for
Speaker 1: a while? They were good because you don't see you
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of that. You don't see a
Speaker 1: lot of singing rummers. The Eagles. Yeah, yeah, there's there's
Speaker 1: a few, but yeah, I mean my theory is, you know,
Speaker 1: because drums is the most physical instrument because you're using
Speaker 1: all four of your limbs, so to do that. Did
Speaker 1: you find it challenging to do that?
Speaker 5: In saying it depended on the genre.
Speaker 4: I mean, if it was you know, if it was
Speaker 4: a very fast heavy that you know, your you're breathing
Speaker 4: is different when you're playing drums.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta kind of it's like a sport.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh, whereas you know, singing, it's it's more
Speaker 5: of a of a of a.
Speaker 4: Posture thing, yeah, you know, to use the proper muscles
Speaker 4: in your stomach and your throat.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it could be it was challenging. I didn't
Speaker 5: do it for a long time.
Speaker 4: I gravitated towards singing because you know, obviously you couldn't
Speaker 4: find a lot of good singers.
Speaker 1: Right right, especially in the rock scene. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I love your voice on these tracks, and absolutely we should.
Speaker 1: We should play another one. It's getting late. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to I want to at least get get one
Speaker 1: more of these. In uh, where should we go next?
Speaker 4: I would probably say, Hollywood, Oh, what do you want
Speaker 4: to go? Within the wine, it's more of our well
Speaker 4: Holly Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll go with Hollywood, and then we'll get we'll
Speaker 1: get within with within the Wine, and at the end
Speaker 1: of the show we'll have time for both. We'll play this,
Speaker 1: we'll come back and just kind of remind everybody where
Speaker 1: to find you guys and the paper jam article and
Speaker 1: so forth, and then we'll uh yeah, and then we'll

Speaker 8: I would say the Facebook page would be a really
Speaker 8: good place. It gets updated quite often. But also be
Speaker 8: afraid dot com.
Speaker 1: Yeah so we were we're still on Facebook.
Speaker 6: We're old.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but we were lucky to grab that your yeah
Speaker 8: thirty years ago and it just sits around did nothing.
Speaker 6: It's like, wow, we have this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Honestly, Bruce is the media guru though he's the one
Speaker 4: that oh okay really does He does a great job
Speaker 4: getting our name out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's responsible for all of you know
Speaker 5: this and paper jam.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh yeah, the swagger and all that the press release,
Speaker 1: which was awesome, and yeah, yeah, a lot of time
Speaker 1: doing Yeah. Absolutely. Do you do the website too, Did
Speaker 1: you build the site?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm a web designer, so I look at and I
Speaker 1: judge websites. But I like your site. No, it's very good,
Speaker 1: very good. Yeah. Yeah, it looks good and it's it's
Speaker 1: easy to find everything. Just you know, I see a
Speaker 1: lot of bad websites, so when I see a good one,
Speaker 1: I like to go out of my way to say, hey,
Speaker 1: that's a good, good site. I see a lot of
Speaker 1: bad ones. I'm very judgmental about about websites. And you
Speaker 1: guys are already are it sounds like you're already talking
Speaker 1: about another album. Is that correct?
Speaker 8: We're already writing it. It's five in the Q now excellent, okay,
Speaker 8: and it's going to be Afraid. But there's a couple
Speaker 8: of songs that are maybe a little departure. There's one
Speaker 8: that we love called what You Crave. Yeah, still has
Speaker 8: that deep almost like who Cracked the a kind of
Speaker 8: sabbathy feel.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's written around like a Hindu toty.
Speaker 8: Okay, so it's written you wouldn't hear that, but it
Speaker 8: was written with like Indian music skills. Okay, so has
Speaker 8: a weird, dissident, kind of deep sound to it. It's
Speaker 8: kind of cool. And then we have a song about
Speaker 8: white up called Bullets from the Board and that just
Speaker 8: has time signatures all over the place. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 8: three four different time signatures in different parts of the song.
Speaker 8: So it's that's been the biggest challenge.
Speaker 1: I would say, So, yeah, well that sounds it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well we will uh we will close out with one
Speaker 1: more track, this within the Wine. Anything we should know
Speaker 1: about this before.
Speaker 8: We very early Beerfraid song. This is something we did
Speaker 8: back in the day. We played this live with the
Speaker 8: exception of the intro. Okay, right, so the intro was
Speaker 8: added a year ago, and I always wanted to have
Speaker 8: an intro to this song, but we would just usually
Speaker 8: started off one, two, three, four, boom right into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And.
Speaker 8: I would say we kind of call it a poppy
Speaker 8: song up because it doesn't seem as heavy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but more commercial than yeah. Yeah, very melodic, very accessible.
Speaker 8: Again, Bruce, it's about me being a spaz and not
Speaker 8: being able to approach women when I was much younger.
Speaker 1: Oh, no kidding.
Speaker 8: So I would pond down a couple of beers and
Speaker 8: then I could talk to anybody.
Speaker 5: Right, like Rash from The Big Bang Theory, Yeah, but
Speaker 5: a worse version of rod.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So yeah, I just had like a lot of you know,
Speaker 8: before be Afraid, I was just chubby kid that played
Speaker 8: in like like a kind of rock band, but you know,
Speaker 8: it wasn't really successful with the ladies. And then I
Speaker 8: dropped all this weight. I joined this metal band where
Speaker 8: I could take my shirt off and pictures. Yeah, but
Speaker 8: I'm still self conscious, so yeah, yeah, the alcohol would
Speaker 8: help that a little bit.
Speaker 1: Sure, understood, understood, Well, yeah we will we will close
Speaker 1: with this, uh but thank you guys, and thank you
Speaker 1: everyone who joined us today. Of course Jack and Cora
Speaker 1: in the first hour, and then we had Eleanor and
