4:34 Speaker 2: this changed, but you're only allowed twenty two minutes per

4:37 Speaker 2: side now really, yeah, which is weird because I have

4:40 Speaker 2: some records that are longer than that.

4:42 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think so.

4:43 Speaker 2: So the album barely fit. Oh maybe hadd it thirty seconds?

4:50 Speaker 2: Like none of the extra songs, like yeah, like we

4:52 Speaker 2: got three bonus tracks on the CD. Those wouldn't fit,

4:55 Speaker 2: but oh okay, the bonus tracks are just radio edit stuff.

4:58 Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah. And the other the other thing too

5:01 Speaker 2: is we're able to keep it in the sequence that

5:03 Speaker 2: it appears on, so that one's yours here.

5:06 Speaker 1: Oh thank you? Yeah, no, that's that's awesome. Thank you.

5:08 Speaker 1: So actually here, you should hold that up for the

6:16 Speaker 1: back in December and it's been so cold and dry.

6:18 Speaker 1: I still have that dry cough. I still get it too, man. Yeah, yeah,

6:22 Speaker 1: so many people I know are having the same issue.

6:25 Speaker 1: It's this endless barrage of cold, dry air. How long

6:29 Speaker 1: are you guys playing tonight? Are you? Are you? You

6:31 Speaker 1: get a long.

6:32 Speaker 2: Set or want to take it away?

6:33 Speaker 5: Bruce, Yeah, I think we got like forty five minutes.

6:37 Speaker 1: Yeah, forty five minutes. Yeah, that's great. Yeah are you

6:39 Speaker 1: playing are you just playing music from Falling Awake? Are

6:42 Speaker 1: you playing some of the older stuff too?

6:44 Speaker 2: Or a couple of tracks from the first album? Yeah,

6:46 Speaker 2: you know, we want to represent because that's that album

6:49 Speaker 2: is available tonight too.

6:50 Speaker 1: Yeah.

6:51 Speaker 2: Yeah, heavily on the Falling Awak stuff and then a

6:54 Speaker 2: fun cover too.

6:55 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Now, is there anybody else on the show

6:58 Speaker 1: or is it just day to attend?

6:59 Speaker 2: And then ace there's a van called All Sinners. They'll

7:02 Speaker 2: be opening up the show. Okay, yep, they'll be there.

7:05 Speaker 3: Really good guys.

7:07 Speaker 4: The drummer owns purchase Street Records in New Bedford, Mass.

7:11 Speaker 1: Okay, purchase street records. It's called Yeah, okay, Killer Rock.

7:20 Speaker 3: Those guys put on a hell of a show.

7:22 Speaker 1: It's cool that there's still record stores around, you know.

7:25 Speaker 1: That's one of those things that people people have predicted

7:27 Speaker 1: would go away by now, you know, but there's there's

7:30 Speaker 1: still some and they're and they're doing a lot, you know,

7:33 Speaker 1: respectively in their local scenes.

7:35 Speaker 2: I just I started collecting vinyl, like six months ago.

7:38 Speaker 2: Oh no kidding, And I'm totally vinyl not now.

7:41 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people do too.

7:43 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. My theory is that when people buy

7:47 Speaker 1: new vinyl, like a lot of it. We might have

7:49 Speaker 1: talked about this before, but I think a lot of

7:50 Speaker 1: people who buy brand new vinyl they never open it,

7:53 Speaker 1: like if they're really a fan, a big fan of

7:55 Speaker 1: a of an artist, that they just buy it to

7:57 Speaker 1: have it maybe, you know, maybe frame it or whatever

7:59 Speaker 1: they're going to do with it.

8:00 Speaker 3: Yeah, like Jeff's Kiss.

8:02 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, anopened.

8:08 Speaker 2: I do open because I like to listen to it. Yeah,

8:11 Speaker 2: something about the sound, and it's awesome. Oh, nothing sounds

8:13 Speaker 2: better than vinyl. But I'm into the colored vinyl. Yeah,

8:16 Speaker 2: I almost won't buy it unless it's a colored one.

8:19 Speaker 2: But oh no kidding, I'm easing up on the colored

8:21 Speaker 2: vinyl thing.

8:22 Speaker 1: Yeah.

8:23 Speaker 5: I tend to buy two copies sometimes because I want

8:26 Speaker 5: one to keep shut and then to open. And yeah,

8:29 Speaker 5: and I sometimes I have like a sign one, so

8:31 Speaker 5: like I don't want to open the sign one, I'll

8:32 Speaker 5: buy another copy.

8:33 Speaker 1: That's exactly yeah right right, yeah, no, that makes sense. Yeah,

8:36 Speaker 1: that that makes a lot of sense. I used to

8:39 Speaker 1: have uh, well, I didn't. I ended up with it.

8:42 Speaker 1: I don't know where it is now. It's probably my

8:43 Speaker 1: storage unit. But when Kiss came out with the single

8:47 Speaker 1: for Unholy back in ninety two, what a great song.

8:50 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I have a a it's on white

8:54 Speaker 1: vinyl limited edition of just a single.

8:57 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so cool. I remember the first time

8:59 Speaker 2: here in that song and just going. I saw the video, yeah,

9:03 Speaker 2: just going? What oh same same here?

9:07 Speaker 1: Yeah? So good, so good. What else have you guys now?

9:13 Speaker 1: Have you been playing a lot of shows or what

9:15 Speaker 1: else has been going on?

9:15 Speaker 2: As far as shows, we played pretty continuous.

9:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, like it seems like you've been busy.

9:20 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been busy. We're starting to write work on

9:23 Speaker 2: some new music. Are you excellent? And we're up for anything.

9:28 Speaker 2: If anybody's got a good show they want us to do,

9:30 Speaker 2: let's go.

9:31 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Kind of is the new stuff kind of

9:33 Speaker 1: in the same vein as has Fallen Awake or.

9:36 Speaker 2: We got one new song which we got to get

9:39 Speaker 2: back to working on it because it's it's pretty awesome. Heavy,

9:42 Speaker 2: It's it's heavy. I think our new stuff is going

9:44 Speaker 2: to be pretty heavy. It's going to be heavier.

9:46 Speaker 1: I think, Oh cool, yeah, yeah, like the Falling Awake

9:51 Speaker 1: album heavy like that.

9:52 Speaker 3: Oh really, I think the one before that was it

9:56 Speaker 3: won't be like.

9:58 Speaker 2: It'll just kind of continue on what we and yet

10:00 Speaker 2: like more rocking.

10:02 Speaker 1: Yeah.

10:02 Speaker 4: So the difference between the new album and the last

10:05 Speaker 4: two albums, I think is that all the songs now

10:08 Speaker 4: are going to be collectively written by all five of us.

10:11 Speaker 2: Okay, we're doing it old school.

10:13 Speaker 4: Yeah, as opposed to like a couple of guys that

10:15 Speaker 4: have been writing like a bank of songs like Ed

10:17 Speaker 4: and Jeff, and then bringing them to the band. We're

10:20 Speaker 4: all like, he'll walk in, like Bruce will walk into

10:22 Speaker 4: the room and you know, play something, and then Ed

10:26 Speaker 4: shoots across the room like he does, Yeah, what.

10:29 Speaker 2: Was that that new song started?

10:32 Speaker 4: And then within fifteen minutes we're all, you know, playing it. Yeah,

10:35 Speaker 4: he starts coming lyrics how we wants them to go?

10:37 Speaker 4: And I miss you can't remember her name?

10:40 Speaker 2: Yeah, we used to do that back in the day,

10:44 Speaker 2: right as a band, and then yeah, things band members

10:47 Speaker 2: switching out so often that it got hard to be like, well,

10:50 Speaker 2: well we'll just work on stuff ourselves and whoever comes

10:53 Speaker 2: in can learn it, you know.

10:54 Speaker 4: But so arguably the third album is going to be

10:56 Speaker 4: the first true day to attend album.

11:00 Speaker 3: Okay from a.

11:00 Speaker 2: Certain collective perspective.

11:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool when uh, when it comes together quickly

11:07 Speaker 1: like that too. That's how you know you've got something

11:08 Speaker 1: when it just sort of organically just comes together. And yeah, yeah,

11:12 Speaker 1: I'm excited for you. Oh, thank you so much.

11:17 Speaker 3: You know, we just all signed it for you.

11:19 Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome.

11:19 Speaker 3: Yeah, back in the frame we can do.

11:21 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll take a picture at the end and I'll

11:23 Speaker 1: hold it up. Yeah. Nice, beautiful, beautiful. Speaking of shirts too,

11:26 Speaker 1: we should mention Tom is wearing a wonderful paper Jam shirt. Uh,

11:30 Speaker 1: we've we've got to know them. We've had Chila and

11:31 Speaker 1: we love Jam. Yeah, very very cool.

11:35 Speaker 3: Some of our favorite people right there.

11:37 Speaker 2: Yeah, very supportive of the band. Absolutely.

11:39 Speaker 1: Yeah. Last week we had on the show, not Lee Crue,

11:42 Speaker 1: the Molly Cruz. Yeah, that was a lot of fun. Yeah.

11:45 Speaker 1: We met them through paper Well, actually, well I shouldn't

11:48 Speaker 1: say we met them through paper Jam, because it turned

11:49 Speaker 1: out I knew two of the guys, but one of

11:51 Speaker 1: the guys I went to high school with. But but

11:53 Speaker 1: they didn't like it. Was kind of like they tried

11:56 Speaker 1: to keep it a surprise, like who was actually in

11:58 Speaker 1: the band, you know, because they showed up in full costume.

12:00 Speaker 1: But it was a lot. Yeah, that was a lot

12:02 Speaker 1: of fun. That was a lot of fun. Not we crew, Yeah,

12:05 Speaker 1: but yeah, Paper Jam is doing great things. Love what

12:07 Speaker 1: they're love what they're doing. Uh, you guys of course

12:10 Speaker 1: had that that big feature. That was great. Yeah, that

12:12 Speaker 1: was fantastic. Yeah, yeah, I've got that at home now.

12:17 Speaker 1: Uh who else? Uh? Who else are you playing with?

12:21 Speaker 3: Like?

12:21 Speaker 1: What else do you have coming up? As far as

12:23 Speaker 1: after tonight? Do you have more shows booked?

12:25 Speaker 2: Or we have a March eighth at Charlie's Hill in Lebanon, Maine.

12:28 Speaker 1: That's a venue then a lot. Yeah, I've never been there,

12:32 Speaker 1: but that name comes up so much on the show

12:34 Speaker 1: Charlie's Hill.

12:35 Speaker 4: You'll never find a more friendly atmosphere and better sound

12:38 Speaker 4: than Charlie's Hill in Lloyd's.

12:43 Speaker 1: Okay, And that's oh, thank you so much. And where

12:47 Speaker 1: where is that again?

12:47 Speaker 2: So it's in Lebanon, Maine, in the middle of nowhere

12:50 Speaker 2: really yeah, And you drive in there and you're like,

12:54 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be killed and you walk in and it's

12:59 Speaker 2: like a nightclub from Boston. Oh god, it's really cool

13:02 Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy six.

13:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, yea.

13:05 Speaker 2: So once you walk in and realize you're not going

13:07 Speaker 2: to be murdered and your car is going to be

13:09 Speaker 2: buried out back, you realize this place is cool. Yeah,

13:12 Speaker 2: and we have a blast there. We just played there

13:15 Speaker 2: last weekend actually, okay, Yeah, Mike and Terry run it.

13:21 Speaker 1: We love them.

13:22 Speaker 2: Very supportive of the band that they're coming to the

13:24 Speaker 2: show tonight.

13:25 Speaker 1: Oh, very cool. Yeah, verty cool. Yeah. Everything I hear

13:27 Speaker 1: about Charlie still is is fantastic.

13:31 Speaker 2: It's great. It's good for just brocking out. Is there?

13:35 Speaker 1: Is it like kind of it sounds like it's pretty

13:39 Speaker 1: like this. Is there not any other venues around there

13:41 Speaker 1: or is that kind of?

13:44 Speaker 2: It's literally like food they they they don't serve out.

13:51 Speaker 2: They don't serve alcohol, so you can bring your own

13:53 Speaker 2: beer and we like when we can do that, right,

13:57 Speaker 2: but nothing.

13:59 Speaker 4: They got like the Yeah, sometimes they have a food truck. Yeah,

14:02 Speaker 4: magic vendors.

14:03 Speaker 2: That's really cool. Yeah, that's awesome.

14:05 Speaker 1: That sweet.

14:06 Speaker 2: They do a lot of death metal festivals there too,

14:09 Speaker 2: with you know, death metal bands with the logos you

14:11 Speaker 2: can't understand what it says.

14:12 Speaker 3: Yes, they have laugh love fast they do.

14:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how we first were introduced to that place,

14:19 Speaker 2: playing one of those, not the death metal I was

14:21 Speaker 2: going to live fast.

14:23 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they do. Okay, No, it's funny. Way

14:26 Speaker 1: you were saying about the death metal bands. I've been

14:28 Speaker 1: complaining about that since the day is when I worked

14:30 Speaker 1: at when I worked at Strawberries back in the day,

14:32 Speaker 1: and i'd be putting like, you know, like some of them,

14:34 Speaker 1: like Cannibal Corpse, I could kind of read their logo,

14:36 Speaker 1: although their album covers would give me nightmares. Some of

14:39 Speaker 1: them would probably give Satan nightmares. But but yeah, a

14:42 Speaker 1: lot of the logos like you can't even read them,

14:44 Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't I've never understood, like from

14:46 Speaker 1: a branding in market, like why would you do that?

14:48 Speaker 2: And then when you see the poster with fifty of

14:50 Speaker 2: them together, like, oh my god, like the brain is gone.

14:54 Speaker 1: You're right right, yeah, no, it's uh yeah, it's it's

14:57 Speaker 1: pretty wild. So you've got yeah, so you've got Charlie's Hill.

15:02 Speaker 1: And then I imagine like once we get into spring,

15:05 Speaker 1: you'll be playing a lot, playing a lot more.

15:06 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we're kind of putting the feelers out there.

15:09 Speaker 2: We'd like to try. We want to get into some

15:11 Speaker 2: new venues, some new areas.

15:13 Speaker 4: And we won two spots over at the.

15:17 Speaker 3: The Looney Bin.

15:20 Speaker 4: Was that the Battle of the Bands where we won

15:21 Speaker 4: two spots for both Full Throttle?

15:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, where we won the battle band? Yeah?

15:36 Speaker 1: Where was that? Okay? Where you want?

15:41 Speaker 2: Is it the Full Throttle Saloon? Is that what it's called?

15:48 Speaker 2: You guys aren't playing.

15:49 Speaker 4: Here now, spot Those people couldn't.

15:52 Speaker 2: Be more.

15:56 Speaker 3: So understanding.

15:57 Speaker 2: But we're open for business. I mean, yeah, well we should.

16:03 Speaker 2: We like sharing stuff with bands, so we're up for anything.

16:06 Speaker 1: You know.

16:06 Speaker 2: Hopefully some more national acts stuff will probably come about

16:10 Speaker 2: this year.

16:11 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but we.

16:12 Speaker 2: I mean, we'll open for somebody, we'll close for you,

16:15 Speaker 2: we'll play in the middle. We just like to play. Yeah.

16:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, I should ask you too about so falling Awake?

16:22 Speaker 1: Where was that? I'm sure we talked about this last

16:24 Speaker 1: time you were here, But for those who are hearing

16:27 Speaker 1: you for the first time, where was that recorded? Because

16:30 Speaker 1: or oh, that's right. I remember now it's coming back

16:32 Speaker 1: to me.

16:32 Speaker 2: I was basically my basement in our jam space.

16:35 Speaker 1: I remember being surprised because it sounds like it was

16:38 Speaker 1: done at a million dollar recording studio.

16:40 Speaker 2: It really does, thank you because I spent a lot

16:42 Speaker 2: of time on that. So yeah, free to hear.

16:45 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, what about the mastering, I do that too,

16:48 Speaker 1: You do that too? Yeah? Wow, yeah, it's it just

16:50 Speaker 1: sounds so good. Yeah.

16:51 Speaker 2: I tried paying people to master and I get them

16:53 Speaker 2: back and I'm like, I can do this better myself.

16:56 Speaker 2: So oh, no kidding, I just do it. I just

16:59 Speaker 2: do it. I mean to send it to the guys

17:01 Speaker 2: and then you know, they give me the yep it's good,

17:03 Speaker 2: and then yeah, then they usually mess with it some

17:06 Speaker 2: more and then try again.

17:07 Speaker 1: I'm never a rake. I don't know.

17:09 Speaker 2: I just get to that point where I know it's done.

17:11 Speaker 1: Yeah. You have a talent for it, though, if you

17:14 Speaker 1: if you recorded other bands or mastered other bands.

17:17 Speaker 2: So I've I've done mastering for other bands. I've been

17:21 Speaker 2: asked to record for other bands. But the thing is

17:23 Speaker 2: is like I couldn't, like, like it would be too expensive,

17:28 Speaker 2: like a dollar fifty a Yeah, it was like, you know,

17:32 Speaker 2: like it's like for the time you got to make

17:34 Speaker 2: some money for it, but the time that I put

17:37 Speaker 2: into something because I want it to be quality, right,

17:40 Speaker 2: it just wouldn't benefit like it would benefit the band.

17:44 Speaker 2: But then i'd really be working for like pennies.

17:46 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that's understandable.

17:49 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's more like a labor love thing.

17:51 Speaker 5: Like you're already you're so attached to the Yeah.

17:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's like I would love to record bands,

17:58 Speaker 2: but yeah, it would just take it if I could

18:00 Speaker 2: do it for a job, and that's all I had

18:02 Speaker 2: to do. Yeah, sure, let's go.

18:04 Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, no doubt.

18:06 Speaker 5: No.

18:06 Speaker 1: He was like I said, you definitely have a talent

18:09 Speaker 1: for it. Did that happen with Falling Away? You mentioned

18:11 Speaker 1: you've you've sent things out to others to master and

18:15 Speaker 1: not not been happy with it.

18:16 Speaker 2: Did you do that with Falling awakere But this was

18:18 Speaker 2: like the other you know, like older Oh okay, yeah

18:21 Speaker 2: that I did that. I tried some Yeah, I tried

18:24 Speaker 2: a Berkeley person once.

18:26 Speaker 1: Oh really yeah.

18:27 Speaker 2: It was horrible sounding. I'm like it was really low.

18:30 Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, he's I have a little like it

18:32 Speaker 2: so quiet? Oh, that's industry standard, he said. I go, no,

18:35 Speaker 2: it's not industry standard. Is cranking. Yeah, and then he

18:38 Speaker 2: sent it cranking and it was all distorted, and I'm like,

18:41 Speaker 2: I'm done. You're just like you're mocking me now Yeah. Yeah,

18:47 Speaker 2: Well I.

18:47 Speaker 1: Guess he's a student for a reason. Yea. Hopefully hopefully

18:50 Speaker 1: eventually figured oh we.

18:51 Speaker 2: Got better at it.

18:52 Speaker 3: He got his money back.

18:54 Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, But I like doing it. Yeah, yeah, no,

18:58 Speaker 1: that's that's great. Like I said, everything sounds so good,

19:02 Speaker 1: very professional.

19:02 Speaker 2: It's a double edged sword because it's like I can

19:05 Speaker 2: do it myself, but like sometimes I just takes do it.

19:09 Speaker 2: It takes so long to do it because I'm so picky.

19:12 Speaker 2: But then on the other end, I don't have to

19:14 Speaker 2: pay somebody this huge money to do it.

19:17 Speaker 1: Was continuous bloom downe all the same same thing. Yeah, yeah,

19:21 Speaker 1: right in the basement.

19:23 Speaker 3: Of the reasons why we put up with this boloney.

19:25 Speaker 2: Yeah, you want a record, you play with me.

19:33 Speaker 3: There you go.

19:33 Speaker 1: Well that's a pretty good selling point. You know, make yourself.

19:36 Speaker 2: But I would love to record of the bands. I

19:39 Speaker 2: just don't. It's a time issue. Yeah, and then i'd

19:41 Speaker 2: have to charge too much right right, ask these guys

19:45 Speaker 2: that Jesus Jeff, you sent us a track at one

19:48 Speaker 2: a m. Don't you got to get up for work?

19:50 Speaker 1: Yep?

19:51 Speaker 2: But I got up.

19:52 Speaker 1: Yeah, So caffeine's for right sleeping. I'm dead, So I

19:58 Speaker 1: know we're on. You guys are on a tight schedule

20:00 Speaker 1: because you got to get to uh, you got to

20:14 Speaker 1: tonight for Ace Frehley at the Aura. Yeah, and where

20:17 Speaker 1: direct support for Ace. Yeah, that means we go on

20:19 Speaker 1: right before him. That's fantastic.

20:21 Speaker 2: I gotta say I've been waiting since nineteen seventy eight

20:24 Speaker 2: for this moment.

20:25 Speaker 1: Yeah, when I first got in the kiss no kidding, Yeah, Yeah,

20:29 Speaker 1: that's very good.

20:29 Speaker 3: All comes to a head tonight.

20:31 Speaker 2: That's like your hero, Yeah it is?

20:33 Speaker 1: Yeah? Is he? Is he? Here? Is he what got

20:35 Speaker 1: you into playing guitar? Exactly? No kidding? Rock? Yeah, Yeah,

20:39 Speaker 1: it's funny. I saw an interview with him once, this

20:43 Speaker 1: wasn't long ago, where he said something about if he

20:46 Speaker 1: knew he was going to be such an influence on people,

20:48 Speaker 1: he would have practiced more. Yeah, because from a tech

20:53 Speaker 1: from a purely technical standpoint, he's not the greatest. But obviously,

20:58 Speaker 1: you know, Kiss is my favorite band, so I get it.

21:00 Speaker 1: It's not about he's got that. It's a feel he

21:03 Speaker 1: has when he plays. And just like I was saying, Tom,

21:06 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the he's not a great singer, but

21:09 Speaker 1: he just has a cool voice, right, you know. Yeah,

21:12 Speaker 1: and it's just like that's ace and it's like almost

21:15 Speaker 1: like cheesy kind of sounding.

21:18 Speaker 2: So amazing. Yeah, his new album ten Thousand Volts is fantastic.

21:24 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is really good. I like it a lot.

21:26 Speaker 1: I like it a lot. Yeah, And he's the ultimate

21:28 Speaker 1: rock star to me growing up, you know. Yeah, And

21:31 Speaker 1: he's got such a weird the way he picks, Yeah,

21:36 Speaker 1: the way he just pick it so strange. I've seen

21:39 Speaker 1: very few I feel like I've seen other guitar players

21:42 Speaker 1: who pick the way he does, but not many of them,

21:44 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, like very very unusual,

21:46 Speaker 1: very unusual approach. But uh so, will we'll let you
