0:52 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thanks for coming. Great to have you here.

0:55 Speaker 1: I'm a fellow bass player, so absolutely natural kinship with

0:59 Speaker 1: you and you sir.

1:01 Speaker 5: My name is Adam Grant, the guitar player from Conquered

1:06 Speaker 5: and this project is just kind of conceived from years

1:09 Speaker 5: of just playing music and being in bands.

1:12 Speaker 1: And yeah, and here we are yeah yeah. So how

1:15 Speaker 1: long has Mercury Burns first existed? This is pretty new

1:18 Speaker 1: rights roughly two years almost now Okay, okay.

1:23 Speaker 2: Is this your Is this your first release of this?

1:24 Speaker 5: Uh?

1:25 Speaker 2: This EP?

1:25 Speaker 5: Yeah? Yep?

1:26 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, yeah, I really like so we were

1:31 Speaker 1: kind of talking off air about what to which track

1:34 Speaker 1: to open the segment with, and I and uh Embraces

1:37 Speaker 1: my personal favorite. I love the vibe, the the guitars

1:40 Speaker 1: and that this there's something there's something different.

1:42 Speaker 2: About it that I think is really really cool.

1:44 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Jay, I've always loved your vocals.

1:48 Speaker 1: Uh what like, like, what is your your kind of

1:51 Speaker 1: I mean obviously, you know, broadly speaking, we put you

1:54 Speaker 1: in the metal category, but you guys have kind of

1:57 Speaker 1: a is there a sub genre that that you're trying

1:59 Speaker 1: to to fit into? I mean, it's unique, the the EP,

2:02 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a little different than I can't think

2:05 Speaker 1: of anyone. You sound exactly like you know what I mean,

2:07 Speaker 1: There's there's something.

2:09 Speaker 3: We are Like I personally have approached this project a

2:13 Speaker 3: little differently as anything that like comes along I want

2:17 Speaker 3: to try to turn into you know, turn into something. Yeah,

2:20 Speaker 3: I've been very like guarded in and picky about like

2:25 Speaker 3: what I actually want to like work on as a song.

2:27 Speaker 3: And and in this I'm not necessarily making music for

2:30 Speaker 3: just myself, uh anymore, Like I'm taking everything into consideration,

2:37 Speaker 3: Like I there there might be something that I'm not

2:38 Speaker 3: too into that like someone else and the band is

2:41 Speaker 3: into that like ends up growing on me. Yeah, and

2:44 Speaker 3: it you know, turns out to be my favorite, my

2:46 Speaker 3: favorite thing. So it's it's more of a throw throw

2:49 Speaker 3: it at the wall, see what sticks, and not necessarily

2:51 Speaker 3: trying to stick to one type or style or hopefully

2:56 Speaker 3: at hopefully by the end of you know, our our

2:59 Speaker 3: second third album, we've got a little bit of every

3:02 Speaker 3: every genre in there.

3:03 Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think that was kind of like the

3:05 Speaker 5: general idea of putting this CP out in these particular

3:08 Speaker 5: songs first was to show more of like this, we're

3:12 Speaker 5: not just a heavy band. We have a little bit

3:14 Speaker 5: more to offer than you know, and I don't think

3:16 Speaker 5: we really wanted to pigeonhole ourselves into like the metal

3:19 Speaker 5: corner of music.

3:21 Speaker 2: So yeah, now that makes sense.

3:24 Speaker 1: So it sounds like you already have more and more

3:28 Speaker 1: songs that you're working on or you're going to be.

3:30 Speaker 2: Yeah.

3:30 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's obviously, as we all know, writing

3:33 Speaker 5: is a slow process, but uh yeah yeah. Recording, Yeah yeah,

3:38 Speaker 5: I mean we've been cramming a lot in in the

3:40 Speaker 5: last year, just writing and recording and you know, just

3:43 Speaker 5: trying to get this ship sailing a little bit.

3:46 Speaker 3: So we've yet to even play our first live show.

3:49 Speaker 3: Oh okay, Yeah, we've really stuck to working on the

3:53 Speaker 3: hone in our craft and working on the songs and

3:55 Speaker 3: at least getting this EP recorded and out there, you know,

4:01 Speaker 3: so we at least have a product to present to people.

4:04 Speaker 2: Right.

4:05 Speaker 1: Where does the name come from? By the way, the

4:06 Speaker 1: name is so cool. Mercury Burns first.

4:08 Speaker 3: So initially our idea was to do a concept album,

4:13 Speaker 3: and it's it's stemmed from that, like that the concept

4:16 Speaker 3: was going to be when uh, you know, in the

4:19 Speaker 3: you know, in the distant future, when when the sun

4:21 Speaker 3: kind of expands and spells up, you know, the inner

4:23 Speaker 3: inner solar system. Mercury Burns first.

4:26 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and.

4:29 Speaker 3: So that that idea came. The idea from the name

4:32 Speaker 3: kind of came from the idea from the album, which

4:35 Speaker 3: we may or may not have abandoned at least for

4:38 Speaker 3: at least for now. I think over the course of

4:41 Speaker 3: our career, we'll probably have that concept album put into

4:45 Speaker 3: the other albums instead of you know, focusing everything on

4:48 Speaker 3: one story and you know, again pigeonhole, pigeonholing ourselves into

4:53 Speaker 3: like being forced to write a certain thing. We just

4:56 Speaker 3: kind of want to do what comes comes along naturally

4:58 Speaker 3: when it when it comes along.

5:00 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do feel like, you know, listening to

5:03 Speaker 1: the lyrics, and and you've always been a very interesting

5:07 Speaker 1: you know, back from your days and function, you know,

5:09 Speaker 1: your your your lyrics have always been really interesting. You know,

5:13 Speaker 1: it's you've got to kind of pay attention to what

5:15 Speaker 1: you're saying because you know, you've you've got a lot,

5:18 Speaker 1: You've got a lot that you're trying to express and

5:22 Speaker 1: and I've always been I've always been really interested in

5:23 Speaker 1: your lyrics. The lyrics on on some of these tracks

5:27 Speaker 1: is something sort of apocalyptic, so I'm not surprised.

5:31 Speaker 3: When it from that. You know, we started out as

5:34 Speaker 3: it was all going to kind of be about that.

5:36 Speaker 6: Really yuh yeah, there's there there is there is that

5:41 Speaker 6: that vibe to it, and and Embrace is particularly interesting

5:48 Speaker 6: to me because there's there's a texture to.

5:50 Speaker 1: That song that's like I haven't heard anything quite like this,

5:53 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's really cool. Are are all

5:58 Speaker 1: the themes to these songs kind of like that? Or

6:02 Speaker 1: or are are there like what are what are some

6:04 Speaker 1: things that you explore these lyrics.

6:07 Speaker 3: If if if this was a concept album, it would

6:10 Speaker 3: be very like scattered. They're not in order, yeah know

6:12 Speaker 3: what I mean. Yeah, so they're very far apart in

6:15 Speaker 3: the story. Yeah, but they probably would fit into into it. Yeah,

6:20 Speaker 3: but they're not necessarily purposely. We we just wanted to

6:23 Speaker 3: give the broadest spectrum of like what what we sound like?

6:27 Speaker 2: Yeah?

6:27 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then so when you do so you haven't

6:30 Speaker 1: played out yet, but do you do you have anything uh?

6:33 Speaker 2: Planned?

6:33 Speaker 3: Yeah, we have. We have a couple of shows lined

7:34 Speaker 1: then some Yeah, so you've got other do you guys?

7:37 Speaker 1: Are you guys gonna be doing any covers or are

7:39 Speaker 1: you just sticking to originals.

7:40 Speaker 3: Or there's a there's a possibility of covers which we're

7:43 Speaker 3: trying to fill up our time slot, which yeah, it's

7:45 Speaker 3: gonna be pretty close, so you might get surprised with

7:47 Speaker 3: a couple of covers in there.

7:49 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah that's cool. Now.

7:51 Speaker 1: So so uh, Jay, obviously I know some of your

7:54 Speaker 1: musical history. You were, but you've been you've been in

7:56 Speaker 1: bands between you know, because for people who don't know,

7:58 Speaker 1: I mean, we're going back like twenty year is you

8:00 Speaker 1: know function of course, and then but you've had other

8:03 Speaker 1: projects between that one and this one, correct.

8:05 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been in some smaller you know, like like

8:08 Speaker 3: cover bands, and I was in a Christian based heavy

8:12 Speaker 3: metal band for a little bit called Slate Face.

8:14 Speaker 1: I think I remember that because i'd run into you.

8:17 Speaker 1: I forget where I've run into you somewhere. I think

8:19 Speaker 1: it was probably during the number of years ago, and

8:21 Speaker 1: I think you.

8:21 Speaker 2: Had told me about that. Yeah, yeah, okay.

8:25 Speaker 3: And uh, I took a little bit of hiatus between

8:28 Speaker 3: then and in this, and uh really just kind of

8:32 Speaker 3: focused on what what I want out of you know,

8:35 Speaker 3: like if I really think this is probably gonna be

8:37 Speaker 3: my uh magnum opus, like my what I really put

8:44 Speaker 3: everything into like anything I've been holding back, you know,

8:48 Speaker 3: it's time there's I'm not getting any younger. Yeah, So

8:51 Speaker 3: I just really I think all of us are putting

8:55 Speaker 3: everything we have into into this, uh, all our eggs

8:57 Speaker 3: in this basket.

8:58 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

8:59 Speaker 1: And I'm curious too with you guys, like I assume

9:02 Speaker 1: you've both played in other bands before this.

9:04 Speaker 4: And yeah, I played, you know, all through high school

9:08 Speaker 4: and college bands and then you know, life started and I,

9:12 Speaker 4: you know, I still played, but didn't take it as seriously.

9:15 Speaker 3: Yeh.

9:16 Speaker 4: And then the keyboardist in our band, Jeremy, me and

9:20 Speaker 4: him and playing music together for ten twelve years, you know,

9:24 Speaker 4: just once a week get together, a bunch of different guys,

9:27 Speaker 4: play covers. So you know, we we played, you know,

9:29 Speaker 4: we played our last shows like around Halloween. You know,

9:33 Speaker 4: so we play you know, once a week. And then

9:36 Speaker 4: you know, and I was able to get him in

9:38 Speaker 4: the bands. I think Joel said we need someone on keys.

9:41 Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I know a guy, so you know,

9:44 Speaker 4: so and we've been playing together, you know, every week

9:47 Speaker 4: for the past. I came into the bands about a

9:50 Speaker 4: year and a half ago. They had an original bass player.

9:52 Speaker 4: Oh okay, and then yeah, I came check them out.

9:54 Speaker 4: And then you know, as bands do things, people go

9:58 Speaker 4: different ways. And came down and played and thankfully okay, yeah,

10:02 Speaker 4: fun like sure, did yeah show up next week?

10:06 Speaker 2: Yeah?

10:06 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and it's great, especially you know, we're

10:09 Speaker 4: getting up there in Asian to be able to work

10:11 Speaker 4: our schedules out so that we can actually get together

10:14 Speaker 4: and do something that we really enjoy, and ye are

10:17 Speaker 4: building something towards it's it's so much fun. I really

10:20 Speaker 4: hope this goes places for us.

10:22 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, I think I think you're onto something

10:24 Speaker 1: great and how about you?

10:26 Speaker 5: So for me, I mean basically, the whole music thing

10:29 Speaker 5: started out as an angsty teen playing playing hardcore and

10:33 Speaker 5: punk music locally here in a band called Strike Three.

10:37 Speaker 2: I remember Strike Three.

10:39 Speaker 5: Yeah wow.

10:40 Speaker 3: They were like when we were in high school. Like

10:42 Speaker 3: they were like the first kind of people that I

10:44 Speaker 3: knew that were ever so like they're partially they're partially.

10:47 Speaker 5: Yeah, so myself the reason why I'm a.

10:49 Speaker 3: Musician, oh wow, because like I went to their shows

10:52 Speaker 3: and like saw that, Hey, you know these guys that

10:54 Speaker 3: I go to school with are doing this, Like why not?

10:57 Speaker 2: Oh that's cool.

10:58 Speaker 5: Our drummer jol Is also he was all so in

11:00 Speaker 5: that band, so we you know, we had done all

11:04 Speaker 5: that stuff and been a part of that scene. And

11:07 Speaker 5: I think once you're a part of that scene like that,

11:09 Speaker 5: that lifeblood of just being a part of that music

11:13 Speaker 5: and just the energy just never goes away, like yeah,

11:16 Speaker 5: it's always in you. And like so you know I

11:20 Speaker 5: did that and then took a break for a while obviously,

11:23 Speaker 5: like raised my family and uh, and then some years

11:28 Speaker 5: went by, tried to put some stuff together. Yeah, nothing

11:32 Speaker 5: really came to fruition. Then I did that I'm in

11:36 Speaker 5: a cover band as well, just to keep keep the

11:38 Speaker 5: fingers moving. And then now it was just like one

11:42 Speaker 5: day I just finally went on Facebook and I was like,

11:44 Speaker 5: who wants to play music? And Jay responded, and you

11:48 Speaker 5: know a couple other people and we just this is

11:50 Speaker 5: where we're at, and it just kind of like put

11:52 Speaker 5: this together, and like Jay said, it's kind this is

11:55 Speaker 5: kind of like we're all in right now. Let's do

11:58 Speaker 5: this because like you said, we're not getting.

12:00 Speaker 2: Younger right right, So.

12:04 Speaker 1: No, I think you're onto something really good though, you

12:06 Speaker 1: know this, Like I said, I listen to loly P.

12:08 Speaker 1: I think it's it's really good. Tell me about the

12:12 Speaker 1: I'm curious too about the cover art. I like the

12:14 Speaker 1: cover art. It definitely matches the it matches the name

12:18 Speaker 1: and the vibe of of of what we're what we're

12:20 Speaker 1: hearing from.

12:21 Speaker 5: So that that came to place. Our drummer Joel found

12:25 Speaker 5: this guy. His name's Matt Barnes. He's from the UK

12:29 Speaker 5: actually okay, and he does like a bunch of like, uh,

12:32 Speaker 5: I guess it's like horrors like book covers and movie art,

12:37 Speaker 5: and so he contacted him and he's the one who

12:39 Speaker 5: actually put this together for us.

12:41 Speaker 1: So yeah, no, it looks really cool. How much how

12:45 Speaker 1: much direction did you have to give him or or

12:47 Speaker 1: did you just.

12:47 Speaker 5: Tell him just I think Joel, like Joel kind of

12:51 Speaker 5: had the whole like he was the brain child behind

12:54 Speaker 5: that artwork, and we were just kind of give him

12:56 Speaker 5: the input and it was kind of like his idea

12:58 Speaker 5: because it started out with the whole concept thing a

13:00 Speaker 5: little bit, yeah, and then it just kind of turned

13:02 Speaker 5: into that, and you know, we went back and forth

13:04 Speaker 5: a little bit with the ideas and that's that's what

13:08 Speaker 5: we ended up with.

13:09 Speaker 7: Yeah.

13:09 Speaker 1: I encourage people to if you haven't seen it, go

13:11 Speaker 1: online and check it out. It's yeah, you know, it

13:14 Speaker 1: kind of looks it looks like it could be a

13:16 Speaker 1: movie poster, you know, But yeah, it's it's cool. It's

13:19 Speaker 1: very striking. And I like the reds anyway because red's

13:22 Speaker 1: my favorite color. But but yeah, no, I like it

13:25 Speaker 1: a lot. Like was that something where when you guys

13:29 Speaker 1: saw it liked did everybody in the band immediately like

13:32 Speaker 1: it or did you have to kind of think about it?

13:33 Speaker 5: I don't think so.

13:35 Speaker 3: It actually send us like a stock photo of like

13:38 Speaker 3: the guy sitting out front asaut and there was like

13:40 Speaker 3: a couple of things that like I wasn't I wasn't

13:43 Speaker 3: a fan of and they really they changed it and

13:45 Speaker 3: now I mean, you know, yeah, I love it. So yeah, yeah,

13:47 Speaker 3: they like there was a little like the host coming

13:51 Speaker 3: out of his out of his helmet was like a

13:53 Speaker 3: little phallic. Oh really, I don't know if we're going

13:57 Speaker 3: you know, it's not gonna be the them are going

14:01 Speaker 3: for it.

14:02 Speaker 1: Although would get people, yeah talking about it. Good good

14:05 Speaker 1: conversation piece, but no, I do understand.

14:08 Speaker 8: Yeah.

14:08 Speaker 4: I mean Joel, I think does does a lot of

14:10 Speaker 4: the art direction too. He's a very artistic guy. You know,

14:14 Speaker 4: he released his own comic book and you know he paintings,

14:18 Speaker 4: he art, Yeah, has a really great eye yeah for art.

14:23 Speaker 4: I mean he yeah, he's great.

14:25 Speaker 2: He's put out a comic book, yeah.

14:27 Speaker 5: Get comic a couple of years ago.

14:29 Speaker 2: Oh very cool, yeah, j ol Joel Okay.

14:32 Speaker 4: Yeah, but he said art shows and boss and stuff

14:34 Speaker 4: with his painting and everything. So I think we have

14:36 Speaker 4: a lot of different directions we can go in with

14:38 Speaker 4: this with you know, not only the music, but the

14:41 Speaker 4: art and the live show. Yeah, you know, I'm I

14:45 Speaker 4: think we have a good direction.

14:46 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's it's good to have, you know, kind

14:51 Speaker 1: of a be able to approach it from different you know,

14:55 Speaker 1: different aspects and elements, like the art, you know, the

14:57 Speaker 1: the art work would because not everyone thinks about that,

15:00 Speaker 1: you know, some people don't really put a lot of

15:02 Speaker 1: thought into that part of it. But we live in

15:04 Speaker 1: an era where, you know, with social media and everything,

15:07 Speaker 1: you've really got to in terms of branding, you know,

15:10 Speaker 1: you've really got to think about all of that, all

15:13 Speaker 1: these different aspects and elements.

15:14 Speaker 2: You know.

15:14 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a lot different than it used to

15:17 Speaker 1: be in that sense, you know. So so yeah, I

15:20 Speaker 1: think that's I think that's really cool. And is now

15:23 Speaker 1: right now is everything only available on streaming or are

15:26 Speaker 1: are you making physical CDs?

15:28 Speaker 5: So we have right now we have CDs already available

15:32 Speaker 5: which you can get on band camp. We have vinyls coming,

15:36 Speaker 5: uh March nice should be like mid to end of

15:39 Speaker 5: March should be arriving for those Oh very cool, very.

15:42 Speaker 1: Cool expensive though right to do vinyl? Yes, I've I've

15:46 Speaker 1: heard it's it's very expensive, but no, I think, I

15:49 Speaker 1: think that's great that you're doing that. I'm I'm imagining

15:53 Speaker 1: that artwork on a on a full vinyl and oh,

15:56 Speaker 1: that's that's gotta be Uh, that's gonna look really cool.

15:59 Speaker 2: I assume it's gonna be the same.

16:00 Speaker 5: Image for the image.

16:02 Speaker 1: Okay, not on some people they try to do like

16:04 Speaker 1: a different image for the vinyl to make it like

16:06 Speaker 1: a limited edition thing.

16:07 Speaker 2: But it's like, that's already limited edition. It's vinyl, you.

16:10 Speaker 5: Know, be orange vinyl.

16:13 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, nice, nice, No, that's that's awesome.

16:17 Speaker 2: That's awesome.

16:18 Speaker 1: I have a theory that most people who buy new

16:22 Speaker 1: vinyl never actually play it, but they just buy it

16:26 Speaker 1: because if you know, if you're really a fan of somebody,

16:28 Speaker 1: it's cool to have, you know.

16:30 Speaker 2: Like we have. We opened the show today with a

16:34 Speaker 2: new track from Mike Frasier.

16:35 Speaker 1: He's a singer songwriter from Seattle, and we did the

16:38 Speaker 1: world radio premiere of his new song in April days.

16:40 Speaker 1: But when Jenny and I met him, remember that we

16:41 Speaker 1: met him at the Shaft Skin he was touring, and

16:44 Speaker 1: he gave us a vinyl. He was very excited to

16:46 Speaker 1: give us his vinyl record and and and it looked

16:49 Speaker 1: great and everything, and you know, the artwork was cool

16:51 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, awesome, But but then there's that,

16:54 Speaker 1: you know, like I always have that conversation with myself

16:57 Speaker 1: in my mind. Should I tell him I have nothing

16:59 Speaker 1: to play on or or or does it matter or

17:04 Speaker 1: does he care whether I have something to play it

17:05 Speaker 1: on or not?

17:06 Speaker 2: He clearly he wants us to have it.

17:08 Speaker 3: I feel like often in that situation, someone might go

17:12 Speaker 3: out and buy a record player, so like people people

17:14 Speaker 3: give vinyl and like it'll sit for a while, but

17:16 Speaker 3: then you're like, you know what, I want to play this? Yeah, yeah,

17:19 Speaker 3: you know, you see see a little record player sitting

17:21 Speaker 3: at a yard sale, and you know, maybe you'll grab.

17:23 Speaker 2: It right right.

17:24 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, that's true. We don't even have a

17:26 Speaker 1: CD player at home. Really, we have one here at

17:28 Speaker 1: the station.

17:29 Speaker 2: I think.

17:30 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know Rob as a

17:32 Speaker 1: veto he owes granted state of mind, but he actually

17:34 Speaker 1: uses it or I think he's the only one.

17:37 Speaker 2: What's that. I forget that it's even there. But yeah,

17:41 Speaker 2: you're right. But I do think though, there's there's.

17:43 Speaker 1: A lot of value in physical media because even you know,

17:45 Speaker 1: even if somebody never plays it if they just want

17:47 Speaker 1: it because they're a fan. You know, people like to

17:49 Speaker 1: have the artwork, They like to look at liner notes

17:53 Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff.

17:54 Speaker 3: That was kind of our idea behind, you know, getting

17:56 Speaker 3: the physical copies of stuff, because it's like, you know,

17:57 Speaker 3: like the average person's probably gonna just dream it, you know,

18:00 Speaker 3: or if they're going they buy the album, they'll buy

18:02 Speaker 3: it on you know, Spotify or iTunes. Yeah, but you

18:06 Speaker 3: know the people that you know, know us already care

18:08 Speaker 3: about us and like want to have a piece of

18:10 Speaker 3: our art, like well, you know, they buy the CD

18:12 Speaker 3: and yeah there or the album the record.

18:16 Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.

18:17 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because there was a period where you know, CDs,

18:20 Speaker 1: like nobody was doing CDs.

18:21 Speaker 4: You know, there's still there's still something cool but grabbing

18:24 Speaker 4: the CD. I still have racks of my CDs. Yeah,

18:27 Speaker 4: grab one and play it front to back while you're

18:30 Speaker 4: you're taking the drive, you know.

18:31 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like I feel like that the EP sounds

18:34 Speaker 3: better in my car on the CD than any other

18:37 Speaker 3: any other thing I've listened in to it on. So

18:39 Speaker 3: it's just there's something about that. Yeah, I still have

18:42 Speaker 3: a CD player in my car.

18:43 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh, excellent, excellent, Well we should play another track.

18:47 Speaker 2: I'll let you guys pick what should we what should

18:50 Speaker 2: we play next?

18:52 Speaker 5: We opened with embrace Let's do Deaf and Blind?

18:55 Speaker 2: Deaf and Blind?

18:57 Speaker 5: All right?

18:58 Speaker 1: Uh, if you are just joining us on this chilly

19:02 Speaker 1: Saturday morning, here we got Mercury Burns. First is with

19:05 Speaker 1: us live and studio or part of the band. How

19:07 Speaker 1: many guys are in the band?

19:08 Speaker 2: Is it five? Or six?

19:09 Speaker 3: Six? Six?

19:09 Speaker 2: Six?

19:10 Speaker 3: Yeah?

19:10 Speaker 2: So what does everybody?

19:11 Speaker 1: Okay, so we know what the three of you do.

19:12 Speaker 1: It's unusual to see a band that large. What are

19:14 Speaker 1: the other three guys all do? One's?

19:16 Speaker 2: Uh?

19:17 Speaker 5: So we have Joel's our drummer, Max, Max is the

19:21 Speaker 5: other guitar player. Okay, also my son. Kind of an

19:26 Speaker 5: interesting story. Oh and then we have Jeremy. He plays

19:30 Speaker 5: synth and keys.

19:31 Speaker 2: Oh okay, that must be cool playing with your son

19:34 Speaker 2: in a band.

19:35 Speaker 5: Yeah. It was one of those things like when we

19:37 Speaker 5: were assembling the whole lineup, it was just he came

19:40 Speaker 5: and you know, he's he has had a lot of

19:42 Speaker 5: interesting guitar and i'eah like, well that's a no brainer,

19:46 Speaker 5: like just come on, let's go.

19:47 Speaker 2: Oh wow.

19:48 Speaker 5: So and actually the a lot of the guitar work

19:51 Speaker 5: the I guess I said they were the better guitar

19:54 Speaker 5: solos on the record were his, which for Embrace, and

19:58 Speaker 5: the guitar solo Hindsight was his as well.

20:01 Speaker 2: Kid.

20:02 Speaker 5: Yeah, so those all written by him, So oh very cool.

20:05 Speaker 5: Did you did you teach him or I would like

20:08 Speaker 5: to say yes, but no, I think the Internet had

20:11 Speaker 5: more to do with that than anything else.

20:12 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's amazing now like with YouTube, you can

20:15 Speaker 1: you know, take lessons right online.

20:18 Speaker 5: Yeah.

20:18 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's so cool because nowadays it seems like

20:21 Speaker 4: they're you know, guitar solos have kind of gone away

20:24 Speaker 4: in a lot of mainstream sure rock, and I think

20:26 Speaker 4: these are some of the best guitar solos that I've

20:28 Speaker 4: I've heard in a long time.

20:29 Speaker 9: Yeah.

20:30 Speaker 3: Things very tasteful and I agree, yeah, I agree absolutely.

20:35 Speaker 2: All right, let's give this a spin. So this is

24:18 Speaker 2: I love it.

24:18 Speaker 1: That is The band is Mercury Burns First and that

24:22 Speaker 1: is called Deaf and Blind. And we've got three of

24:25 Speaker 1: the guys from Mercury Burns First here with us live

24:27 Speaker 1: in studio. Great track, guys, I love the energy of that.

24:30 Speaker 1: Thanks really really good. We have jay Dan and Adam

24:33 Speaker 1: here from the band joining us. And where do you

24:36 Speaker 1: guys record?

24:37 Speaker 5: Where?

24:37 Speaker 2: Where? Where did the where did you record the EP?

24:40 Speaker 5: So we did this at right actually right around the

24:42 Speaker 5: corner at black Heart Sound Studio.

24:44 Speaker 2: Oh nice. We had Eric Sotter on the show. I

24:48 Speaker 2: don't know, maybe six months ago.

24:50 Speaker 1: It all becomes a blur, but but I told him

24:52 Speaker 1: when we had him on, I said, it's great to

24:54 Speaker 1: have you on because your name comes up all the

24:56 Speaker 1: time on the show because his name does. He comes

24:58 Speaker 1: up all the time, so many of the guests we

25:00 Speaker 1: that have recorded with him, and everything that comes out

25:02 Speaker 1: of there sounds amazing.

25:04 Speaker 5: Yeah, he did a really good job, and he actually

25:06 Speaker 5: helped out quite a bit, like just pulling some of

25:08 Speaker 5: this stuff to the loose ends that we didn't have

25:10 Speaker 5: ready to go.

25:11 Speaker 3: So yeah, there are even little little parts of like

25:15 Speaker 3: solo is that he kind of gave us ideas for that,

25:18 Speaker 3: like uh kind of you know, spiced it up a

25:20 Speaker 3: little bit.

25:21 Speaker 5: And then yeah, it's just stuff that you just don't

25:24 Speaker 5: think about because someone else has got a set of

25:26 Speaker 5: years on it and you're like, oh, that's actually sounds

25:28 Speaker 5: a lot better than I thought it did.

25:29 Speaker 13: Yeah.

25:30 Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're recording live just in our in our studio,

25:33 Speaker 4: you know, we just pump it out and you know,

25:35 Speaker 4: not not a whole lot of mastering and stuff like that.

25:38 Speaker 4: So finally when we're in the studio and perfecting and

25:41 Speaker 4: he's picking up on other little nuances as you're recording

25:44 Speaker 4: track by track, you know, and gave us some good ideas.

25:47 Speaker 4: So it was it was awesome working with him. Yeah,

25:49 Speaker 4: his name comes up all the time. He was at

25:51 Speaker 4: the barber the other day.

25:52 Speaker 5: You know, it's like, oh yeah, I know her.

25:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, no, he's he's remarkable at what

25:57 Speaker 2: he does.

25:57 Speaker 3: He did a great job.

25:58 Speaker 1: Absolutely. How long was the process of recording these Uh?

26:04 Speaker 5: I mean it it started like, uh, it was dragged

26:09 Speaker 5: out because I think initially we thought we were just

26:11 Speaker 5: gonna go right in there and pump these songs out

26:13 Speaker 5: and be done with it. But yeah, it took probably

26:15 Speaker 5: a better part of like four or five months to

26:18 Speaker 5: just because and it was like just odd, like a

26:20 Speaker 5: couple of days here and there. It wasn't like consistent. Yeah,

26:22 Speaker 5: it was spaced out, So it was spaced out. But

26:26 Speaker 5: I think it was just also just the learning curve

26:29 Speaker 5: of being in the studio and being like, oh, like

26:32 Speaker 5: we actually need to take some time and do this

26:34 Speaker 5: the right way.

26:35 Speaker 2: Yeah.

26:37 Speaker 1: That makes sense though, because you know, like we were

26:39 Speaker 1: talking about earlier, this what you're doing here is fairly complex.

26:42 Speaker 1: It's not you know, it's not just three chord rock.

26:44 Speaker 3: You know, it's yeah, and there's and you know, there's

26:46 Speaker 3: six six gears in the machine.

26:48 Speaker 2: So it's yeah, yeah exactly, and and it.

26:51 Speaker 3: Really it's been running smoothly pretty much the whole time.

26:54 Speaker 3: There's not a lot of conflict or anybody stepping on

26:57 Speaker 3: anybody's toes. That's great, It's it's gone really well.

27:01 Speaker 13: Yeah.

27:02 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I would think, you know, with six guys too,

27:04 Speaker 1: you've got so you've got six different schedules to work

27:07 Speaker 1: with and everything.

27:08 Speaker 2: I mean, I would think it would be challenging, but

27:10 Speaker 2: it sounds like it's been.

27:11 Speaker 3: We finally just downloaded this this calendar app where everybody

27:14 Speaker 3: can like put out their blackout dates. We're finally getting

27:17 Speaker 3: a little organized to know like where. Yeah, we'll find

27:21 Speaker 3: out how busy Dan is.

27:24 Speaker 5: A lot going on, But I mean for the most

27:27 Speaker 5: part though, our regular practices have been pretty much locked down.

27:30 Speaker 5: I think it's just the level of commitment that we're

27:33 Speaker 5: at right now. We're all really committed to doing this,

27:35 Speaker 5: and I think that was the thing, was like, you know,

27:38 Speaker 5: practices are definite. Everything else will figure out.

27:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, how do you do you guys?

27:45 Speaker 1: Are you able to have practices where it's all six

27:48 Speaker 1: of you on a regular basis.

27:49 Speaker 3: Normally we can all get there once, you know, once

27:51 Speaker 3: a week. Yeah, We've always had it up in the

27:54 Speaker 3: air that that we can we'll have an optional second practice,

27:57 Speaker 3: which we kind of have never.

27:59 Speaker 2: Never been themselves up on.

28:02 Speaker 8: Yeah.

28:02 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think now that we have some shows coming up,

28:04 Speaker 3: will probably you know, between now and then, we'll probably

28:07 Speaker 3: throw an extra practice in here here and there to

28:09 Speaker 3: work on the actual.

28:10 Speaker 1: Like yeah, you know the show. Yeah, yeah, now, very cool,

28:14 Speaker 1: very cool. What what went into the when you decided

28:20 Speaker 1: to work with Eric Sotter?

28:22 Speaker 2: What went into that?

28:23 Speaker 12: Like?

28:24 Speaker 1: Were you examining various options or what or was he

28:26 Speaker 1: the obvious choice right from the beginning.

28:29 Speaker 5: I think initially when I when we started looking at studios,

28:34 Speaker 5: there were quite there's obviously quite a few to choose

28:36 Speaker 5: from between here in Massachusetts and oh yeah, I mean

28:40 Speaker 5: I had my sights set on a few down in

28:42 Speaker 5: mass but it was just a matter It's the travel

28:44 Speaker 5: time and all that. And it was also trying to

28:46 Speaker 5: find someone that was gonna be able to hear what

28:50 Speaker 5: we're doing right like we and I'm sure there's a

28:53 Speaker 5: plenty of studios out there that probably could have handled this,

28:56 Speaker 5: but I we definitely wanted the insight of somebody who's

28:58 Speaker 5: already done some heavy stuff. Yeah, and that was kind

29:01 Speaker 5: of the where we found Eric.

29:03 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, and what about the mastering?

29:07 Speaker 5: Did you no so The mastering was actually done by

29:10 Speaker 5: West West Side Music in New York by Alan Dutchess. Okay,

29:14 Speaker 5: which he's done so many albums and this and that.

29:18 Speaker 2: It's gonna say the name is familiar.

29:20 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's done everybody that's ever been on

29:23 Speaker 5: the radio from what I could see from his portfolio.

29:26 Speaker 5: But it was like one of those things when I

29:28 Speaker 5: was looking at places to have it done, it was

29:32 Speaker 5: like where did these Where did this record get done?

29:35 Speaker 5: Where did that record get done? And then I contacted

29:37 Speaker 5: him and he was like the nicest guy ever, and

29:39 Speaker 5: it was just they took care of everything for us

29:41 Speaker 5: and it was great.

29:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, that's excellent. Yeah, it came out, came

29:45 Speaker 2: out really well.

29:47 Speaker 1: Do you plan to you know, obviously you're you're already

29:50 Speaker 1: thinking about or I don't know how far you are

29:52 Speaker 1: in the process of the next Obviously you've you've got

29:55 Speaker 1: more songs, right, so you're already.

29:57 Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel like through through this process we've learned

30:00 Speaker 3: a lot. We already kind of like from the beginning,

30:03 Speaker 3: we've Adam has been recording our our live sessions. Yeah,

30:07 Speaker 3: and you know we've just kind of he's he's been

30:10 Speaker 3: honing his craft on mixing and that on our you know,

30:14 Speaker 3: just our practices. Yeah, I feel like if we're gonna

30:18 Speaker 3: do like a full album, we would maybe look to

30:23 Speaker 3: get that done under like a maybe a label, someone

30:25 Speaker 3: paying for it, yeah, or more likely just releasing singles ourselves.

30:30 Speaker 2: Yeah.

30:31 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, we live in a time where

30:33 Speaker 1: you've got so many options as far as how you

30:35 Speaker 1: how you release music.

30:36 Speaker 2: You know, you can put out an EP, you can

30:38 Speaker 2: put out a full album. You can do I guess

30:41 Speaker 2: you know.

30:42 Speaker 1: Now they're calling it the waterfall effect where you release,

30:44 Speaker 1: you know, instead of releasing an album and then singles,

30:47 Speaker 1: you release the singles and then the singles eventually become

30:50 Speaker 1: an album.

30:51 Speaker 5: Yeah.

30:51 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many ways to do it now, and

30:53 Speaker 2: with Spotify and everything.

30:55 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I feel like the songs that we wrote

30:57 Speaker 3: along with with the songs that are on the EP

31:01 Speaker 3: kind of fit they would fit together as like a

31:03 Speaker 3: full length album. Yeah, They're all kind of in the

31:05 Speaker 3: same vein, and like, you know, anybody that comes to

31:09 Speaker 3: see our show, we'll kind of we'll see it's it's

31:12 Speaker 3: we worked to make it kind of flowing, yeah piece.

31:17 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense, has I I assume that.

31:25 Speaker 1: I mean when the band started, was was this kind

31:29 Speaker 1: of what you guys had in mind, because it's been

31:31 Speaker 1: a couple of years right since the band start.

31:34 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, working as you know, a promoter

31:37 Speaker 3: and for me in the past that we didn't even

31:40 Speaker 3: have an album until the very end and we split

31:43 Speaker 3: up once. It was so it was like we did

31:45 Speaker 3: where I wanted to do that the other way around,

31:47 Speaker 3: like start with something that we could actually like give

31:51 Speaker 3: the people instead of just like the only way you

31:53 Speaker 3: can see us is the come is come see us,

31:55 Speaker 3: right right? And uh so yeah, it was it was

31:59 Speaker 3: it was pretty intentional to to get the album done

32:02 Speaker 3: before we like, you know, we we weren't really interested

32:04 Speaker 3: in just playing every dive bar every day of the week.

32:08 Speaker 3: You know. The function was the house band at the

32:11 Speaker 3: Bomb Shelter, and we played like three days a week

32:13 Speaker 3: at the same omber the bar. So that was not

32:17 Speaker 3: what we were looking to do with this. Yeah.

32:19 Speaker 1: Yeah, now I think, Uh, I think the way you're

32:21 Speaker 1: approaching it is, uh is excellent.

32:24 Speaker 2: Uh we wanna play Uh we can play another one.

32:26 Speaker 2: Uh what should we what should we play?

32:29 Speaker 5: Let's do hindsight do We'll do Uh?

37:23 Speaker 1: really really catchy.

37:24 Speaker 2: It's got a cool vibe to it. But yeah, excellent,

37:27 Speaker 2: excellent job. Guys. Do you do you do you each

37:29 Speaker 2: have your own favorite of the of these of these tracks,

37:32 Speaker 2: do you each have one that really stands out for you?

37:35 Speaker 3: I mean it comes around like I keep I feel

37:38 Speaker 3: like I have like a favorite, you know, different each

37:41 Speaker 3: week is a different favorite. Like mine started out as

37:44 Speaker 3: embrace Yeah yeah, and uh respond is our heaviest song,

37:50 Speaker 3: and that's you know, like it's it's a different vein

37:53 Speaker 3: from the kind of the few that we played, so like, yeah,

37:56 Speaker 3: it's hard. It's hard to put that against like, uh,

38:00 Speaker 3: the song we just played, They're they're apples and oranges,

38:04 Speaker 3: like I would say, like that's my favorite, Like yeah, yeah,

38:09 Speaker 3: but but Respond is my favorite heavy song. Okay, okay,

38:13 Speaker 3: it's it's yeah, it varies.

38:16 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, what about you Dan.

38:18 Speaker 4: Yeah, I asked to embrace this my favorite song. I

38:21 Speaker 4: love that just kind of the the more mellow vibe

38:23 Speaker 4: and yeah, yeah it hops into you know, a lot

38:26 Speaker 4: heavier late later on. Yeah, from playing I think Respond

38:30 Speaker 4: is one of my favorites to play. I got a

38:32 Speaker 4: little bass and drum break down midway for me and Joel,

38:35 Speaker 4: So that's that's really fun to play.

38:37 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, what about you Adam?

38:38 Speaker 5: I mean for me, it's basically all of them. I

38:41 Speaker 5: think it's just because we've we've poured so much energy

38:44 Speaker 5: into them and just seeing like where they're, where they're

38:46 Speaker 5: coming and going, and the overall development of the songs themselves,

38:50 Speaker 5: and you know, especially when you have, like you said,

38:52 Speaker 5: six guys in one band and coming from the concepts

38:57 Speaker 5: of where the song started and garage band, because that's

39:00 Speaker 5: usually how we do it. We'll put the arrangement, a

39:02 Speaker 5: quick arrangement together for everyone to listen to, yeah, and

39:05 Speaker 5: then to see it when unfold. That's why it's kind

39:08 Speaker 5: of like cool, this is great, Like yeah, so I

39:11 Speaker 5: don't have a particular favorite.
