Matt Connarton Unleashed: Under The Horizon

0:00 Speaker 1: And joining us live in studio. We do have the

0:03 Speaker 1: members of Under the Horizon. We have Matt Jordan and

0:06 Speaker 1: is he did I everyone's name correctly? Yes? Welcome, welcome Matt.

0:10 Speaker 1: You've got a proud, proud papa in studio with you. Yes,

0:13 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be on on the microphone. But

0:16 Speaker 1: uh but I know this man very well from back

0:18 Speaker 1: in the day. Yes, wonderful to see him. And he

0:21 Speaker 1: looks and he looks the same. He hasn't changed, which

0:23 Speaker 1: is cool.

0:23 Speaker 2: I get that a lot. Actually, I hear that he

0:26 Speaker 2: looks pretty similar other than the hair.

0:28 Speaker 1: Right right, Well, yeah, that's that's true of all of us.

0:30 Speaker 1: But right, but because when I when I run into people,

0:33 Speaker 1: when I see people I haven't seen in a really

0:35 Speaker 1: long time, I just expect them to be like, you know,

0:39 Speaker 1: not the same. Sure, but but he looks the same,

0:42 Speaker 1: which is nice, which is which is really cool. But

0:48 Speaker 1: uh no, I love that track now the three Well, actually,

0:51 Speaker 1: so what does everybody do in the band? So, Matt,

0:53 Speaker 1: you're the drummer, Yes, I am drummer and vocalist. Drummer

0:55 Speaker 1: and vocalists in Jordan, guitarists, vocals in.

0:59 Speaker 3: Some vocals and bass and vocalists.

1:01 Speaker 1: Okay, that's now. What's interesting about that is so and

1:05 Speaker 1: you probably hear this all the time. There's not a

1:07 Speaker 1: lot of singing bass players for whatever reason. There's some,

1:10 Speaker 1: but we were talking about that with our our guests

1:13 Speaker 1: in the previous hour. Ian Hemy his project Silicon Kong.

1:17 Speaker 1: He's a singing bass player, but it's not something you

1:20 Speaker 1: see a lot of for for whatever reason. But so, yeah,

1:26 Speaker 1: is it Is it just the three of you on

1:27 Speaker 1: all the recordings because you sound for a three piece

1:30 Speaker 1: and you probably hear this a lot too, but for

1:33 Speaker 1: a trio, you got a big sound.

1:35 Speaker 2: Right Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just the three of us,

1:39 Speaker 2: and we kind of we thought about adding like another

1:43 Speaker 2: guitarist into the mix, you know, like a lot of

1:45 Speaker 2: bands they rhythm in a lead guitarist. But part of

1:48 Speaker 2: the reason why we started this band was because we

1:50 Speaker 2: were aggravated with the difficulties of our previous bands that

1:55 Speaker 2: we were already in.

1:55 Speaker 4: So we're like, we don't.

1:56 Speaker 2: Want to add anyone to complicate the mix. Y. Yeah, so,

2:00 Speaker 2: oh yeah, it's just the three of us. We all

2:03 Speaker 2: really trying to kind of work together to create our sound,

2:08 Speaker 2: and on the album, we wanted, like you said, a

2:11 Speaker 2: big sound, but we also wanted it to not sound

2:14 Speaker 2: impossible to achieve live, you know what I mean?

2:17 Speaker 1: Yeah, is that ever a challenge?

2:20 Speaker 5: I don't, no, No, I mean there's definitely. There's definitely

2:24 Speaker 5: sometimes where like it feels a little different, but for

2:28 Speaker 5: the most part it seems pretty full like live.

2:31 Speaker 4: Yeah, which is cool.

2:32 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is that is By the way, I have

2:35 Speaker 1: to compliment you well, I think I mentioned it too

2:36 Speaker 1: when you walked in. But your shirt Ace Frehley thing.

2:39 Speaker 1: Kiss is my all time favorite band and I love Ace.

2:42 Speaker 5: Yeah.

2:42 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, very cool, very cool. Yeah, ten thousand volts.

2:46 Speaker 1: I remember when that came out and it people were

2:49 Speaker 1: kind of surprised that it was as successful as it was,

2:51 Speaker 1: you know.

2:52 Speaker 5: I mean it sounded was it compared to his last albums? Like,

2:56 Speaker 5: it sounded a little different. It had a different vibe

2:58 Speaker 5: to it. Yeah, it was douce and stuff, and his

3:01 Speaker 5: voice was a lot more. It seemed like he was

3:03 Speaker 5: doing a lot more actual thinging than just talking into

3:07 Speaker 5: the bike and being like New York.

3:10 Speaker 1: Right right, I agree, I agree. So how long has

3:14 Speaker 1: this existed, this s band? How long have the three

3:16 Speaker 1: of you been been doing this.

3:17 Speaker 3: Almost a year now, like I think late September will

3:20 Speaker 3: be a year.

3:21 Speaker 1: So okay, well that's impressive that you know it's it's

3:24 Speaker 1: been under a year and you've already got how many

3:26 Speaker 1: tracks are on the album?

3:27 Speaker 5: Nine nine?

3:28 Speaker 4: Yeah, and oh.

3:29 Speaker 1: And for people watching online here, let me put the

3:32 Speaker 1: overhead camera on so I can show so Mike gave

3:37 Speaker 1: me a copy of this under the horizon, and I'll

3:40 Speaker 1: kind of hold that up for the camera. Probably i'll

3:42 Speaker 1: hold it up in pictures too afterward. But who did

3:45 Speaker 1: the I like the artwork? Who did the artwork?

3:49 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I guess I would be the

3:52 Speaker 2: culprit of that, but yeah, he wasn't. I will admit

3:57 Speaker 2: we didn't like hand draw that. We used AI because

4:02 Speaker 2: I saw a lot of the stuff that people were

4:05 Speaker 2: doing with AI, creating images and all that, and I

4:07 Speaker 2: liked how it could create a somewhat surreal scenario, like

4:12 Speaker 2: almost something you would see in a dream, because it's

4:15 Speaker 2: not perfect, you know, it's it's different, it's nothing's exact,

4:20 Speaker 2: everything's a little mismatched and all that. So we used

4:26 Speaker 2: We came up with that, or we got that from

4:29 Speaker 2: AI when we were trying to figure out album covers

4:32 Speaker 2: and we just really liked it and we're like, you

4:36 Speaker 2: know what, let's embrace this new technology here. And that's

4:40 Speaker 2: what you see on the album cover there.

4:42 Speaker 3: There is artwork though on the actual disc that.

4:45 Speaker 1: Yes, oh no kidding, okay, yeah, okay, cool. I'm such

4:49 Speaker 1: a nerd for this stuff. Do you remember, like what

4:51 Speaker 1: kind of prompts you used to get that? Do you remember?

4:54 Speaker 4: So?

4:56 Speaker 2: I think it was like a it was like it's

5:00 Speaker 2: setting called like Halloween themed or something like that, because

5:03 Speaker 2: we wanted to go something like kind of gothy, kind

5:07 Speaker 2: of metal, kind of you know, to fit with our sound.

5:10 Speaker 2: So I got that and I got a couple of

5:11 Speaker 2: images and I sent them all to the band and

5:14 Speaker 2: they were like, yeah, we like that one.

5:15 Speaker 4: So yeah, just ended up being the cover.

5:19 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I dig it. I know that's an odd question.

5:22 Speaker 1: Probably you know, you don't expect to be asked, you know,

5:24 Speaker 1: what kind of prompts did you use to I think it's.

5:27 Speaker 3: A good question because I know that you had to do.

5:30 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, we're so fascinated around here by AI in general.

5:34 Speaker 1: It's something Jenny and I talked about a lot on

5:36 Speaker 1: the show. Is AI and the impact on the music

5:38 Speaker 1: industry and how people are using it to create and

5:40 Speaker 1: uh no, that's very very cool. Where was the where's

5:43 Speaker 1: the picture on the back of course as a band photo?

5:46 Speaker 1: Where was that taken my backyard? Yeah?

5:50 Speaker 2: Yeah, we were taken. That was before we filmed the

5:53 Speaker 2: video for our song Orchids in the Sunrise, And we

5:58 Speaker 2: were just like, let's take band pictures, you know, because

6:00 Speaker 2: we're all done up or whatever and nice clothes or

6:03 Speaker 2: metal clothes, whatever you want to say. Yeah, And we

6:06 Speaker 2: were just going around my house taking photos and we

6:09 Speaker 2: went out back to uh, that truck that I'm leaning

6:12 Speaker 2: up against, that's a project truck of mine that I'm

6:14 Speaker 2: working on, and we were just random took the picture

6:18 Speaker 2: and we were looking through and we're like, wow, that's

6:20 Speaker 2: actually a really good photo of us.

6:21 Speaker 4: Let's use that on the back cover.

6:23 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Oh. We had a question I don't want

6:26 Speaker 1: to forget too, and Jenny mentioned it, there's a question

6:29 Speaker 1: in the chat room. Alan McIntyre joins us in the

6:33 Speaker 1: chat and says, ask is he what her favorite song

6:36 Speaker 1: by Vixen is? Lols? You don't have a favorite Vixen song?

6:44 Speaker 1: How dare you?

6:45 Speaker 3: I did get to meet Frit Lightning though, did you. Yeah,

6:48 Speaker 3: in February.

6:49 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, because they just played at they was it

6:52 Speaker 1: at the Tupelo? They just played there, right, because it

6:55 Speaker 1: was because we had a band on, Purging Sin. I

6:58 Speaker 1: don't know if you know Purging Sin.

7:00 Speaker 4: Ye heard of them.

7:00 Speaker 1: Actually they they opened. They when they were here on

7:03 Speaker 1: the show a couple of months ago, they were talking

7:04 Speaker 1: about opening for Vixen, which was weird. Weird to me

7:08 Speaker 1: because Purging Sin they're very dark and heavy, and uh,

7:13 Speaker 1: I'm like, you you did, but I think that they did,

7:17 Speaker 1: and I think it was at the Tupelo. But yeah,

7:20 Speaker 1: so you met Brent Lightning, Yeah, I did.

7:22 Speaker 3: Like this rock and roll fantasy camp in La Yeah,

7:26 Speaker 3: I have to meet a lot of like people who

7:28 Speaker 3: actually made it in the industry.

7:29 Speaker 1: Like so you you went to one of those Yes,

7:32 Speaker 1: no kidding.

7:32 Speaker 3: I got to meet Nancy Wilson as well.

7:35 Speaker 1: Oh wow, so I was gonna say, yeah, she must

7:38 Speaker 1: be yeah, yeah, who else? Who else was there?

7:43 Speaker 3: I mean there was like a really good handful. There

7:45 Speaker 3: was a couple of people like there were there to meet,

7:48 Speaker 3: like they had the Brothers of Stpha and I mean

7:57 Speaker 3: also some of the counselors that were there. Yeah, I

8:02 Speaker 3: mean there's a lot of like good people. There was

8:04 Speaker 3: a bassis of La Guns. His name is Johnny Martin. Okay, yeah,

8:09 Speaker 3: he was like a kind of the person who ran

8:12 Speaker 3: my little group because we had there was a couple

8:15 Speaker 3: of bands that we uh at the camp and we

8:19 Speaker 3: played at the Viper Room yea and the tributoor.

8:22 Speaker 1: Oh very yeah. I always see I see videos of

8:26 Speaker 1: these these rock and roll fantasy camps online and they look, uh,

8:29 Speaker 1: they look really fun. So what so when you say

8:33 Speaker 1: you're a little group, so what what? What did they

8:35 Speaker 1: divide everyone into groups and then you had like one

8:37 Speaker 1: of these one of these famous rock stars kind of

8:41 Speaker 1: runs the group and and uh and then what is there?

8:44 Speaker 1: Is there a process of like you all read a

8:47 Speaker 1: song together or.

8:48 Speaker 3: No, we more just like pick a couple of songs

8:50 Speaker 3: to work on between, like like it's about four days

8:53 Speaker 3: and we performed them. I mean I was with the

8:56 Speaker 3: other teenagers. We're all teens.

8:58 Speaker 1: Oh very cool? Is it? How many days is it?

9:01 Speaker 3: I think mine was four days?

9:03 Speaker 1: Oh no kidding, Wow, that's wild, that's wild. What uh?

9:10 Speaker 1: Why did you why did you like what motivated you

9:12 Speaker 1: to to go and and do that?

9:15 Speaker 6: Well?

9:15 Speaker 3: I actually had gotten it as a gift, but mostly

9:18 Speaker 3: to meet Nancy Wilson.

9:20 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, huge, Yeah, Yeah, that's that's very cool. Is

9:24 Speaker 1: she I mean, is she an influence on you vocally

9:28 Speaker 1: or I mean I would think Anne Wilson would probably

9:30 Speaker 1: be a big influence. Yeah, huge, Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

9:35 Speaker 1: Who else has an influence on you in terms of.

9:37 Speaker 3: Your vocals, I would say, uh, Pat Benatar a lot

9:41 Speaker 3: and a bit of Joan Jet as well.

9:43 Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah, oh that's cool. That's cool. Now what

9:46 Speaker 1: about you Jordan in terms of obviously as Frehley, Yeah,

9:48 Speaker 1: a big influence. Who else influences you on guitar?

9:52 Speaker 5: In terms of guitar, I'd say like some van Halen, Yeah,

9:56 Speaker 5: Eddie van Halen definitely really influential called the tap and

10:00 Speaker 5: all that stuff. I've gotten some things about how there's

10:03 Speaker 5: Randy Rhodes type stuff.

10:05 Speaker 4: Yeah, my guitar.

10:06 Speaker 5: Playing, which like I do like Randy Rhodes, so i'd

10:10 Speaker 5: say him too.

10:11 Speaker 1: Yeah.

10:12 Speaker 4: Kirk Hammett, you know people like that.

10:15 Speaker 1: Yeah.

10:16 Speaker 5: They I think what makes them so special is they

10:19 Speaker 5: take sometimes they can take fairly simple things and they'll

10:23 Speaker 5: put it in the song as a solo and make

10:24 Speaker 5: it fit, which is like a pretty good skill to have,

10:27 Speaker 5: you know, like, just because it's fast and flashy doesn't

10:30 Speaker 5: mean it's good, you.

10:30 Speaker 1: Know, right right? Yeah, No, I know what you mean.

10:33 Speaker 1: And I can hear. I can hear the Kirk Hammett

10:34 Speaker 1: and your solos. I can definitely hear that. Yeah. Yeah,

10:38 Speaker 1: what about you, Matt as far as drums and or

10:41 Speaker 1: vocal because you sing too.

10:42 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, oh god, there's a lot. I mean, my

10:46 Speaker 2: primary influence for drums, I mean a lot of people

10:49 Speaker 2: laugh when I say it, but I'll say it because

10:51 Speaker 2: it's true. Uh, it's Lars Ulrik from Metallica. I saw

10:55 Speaker 2: Metallica when I was like ten, and for some reason,

10:58 Speaker 2: something about Lars up on stage behind the drum set

11:01 Speaker 2: it just really inspired me to play.

11:04 Speaker 4: So then I picked it up.

11:05 Speaker 2: And I mean, I'm influenced by him and Joey Jordison

11:10 Speaker 2: a slip nood, all the drummers a slip not really,

11:12 Speaker 2: they're all great, Vinny, Paul neil Pert, you know, all

11:16 Speaker 2: the good guys who give you a lot to listen

11:20 Speaker 2: to on the drum set, right right, Yeah, And vocally,

11:24 Speaker 2: I'd say my primary influences are James Hetfield and Corey Taylor.

11:30 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can hear the Corey Taylor.

11:34 Speaker 4: Oh, thank you. I appreciate it.

11:35 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely. And in terms of the songwriting, I mean,

11:40 Speaker 1: how how does that work in the spand do you

11:42 Speaker 1: all write together? Does somebody bring in an idea and you.

11:45 Speaker 4: I think what happened?

11:47 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a mix of It's definitely like one person

11:51 Speaker 5: will come in with lyrics or they'll have Like with

11:54 Speaker 5: Izzy Want You, she had the lyrics and she had

11:57 Speaker 5: the you know, bass notes, you know, whatever the notes were,

12:02 Speaker 5: and I was like, it kind of just formed together.

12:04 Speaker 5: He came up with his drum part on the spot,

12:06 Speaker 5: I made my own guitar part, and we kind of

12:09 Speaker 5: just experimented a couple of times, ran it, you know

12:12 Speaker 5: through three or four times, maybe that quick Yeah, it

12:17 Speaker 5: comes together really fast. It's surprising.

12:19 Speaker 1: Well that's that's when you know you've really got something right.

12:21 Speaker 1: The songs come together quickly, and then you know, you

12:23 Speaker 1: know you've got that that magic you know, right. Yeah, Well,

12:27 Speaker 1: I assume some of these songs because you know, some

12:29 Speaker 1: of them are you know, that's a fairly straightforward song,

12:32 Speaker 1: but some of them are are pretty complex. I mean

12:34 Speaker 1: I would imagine the more complex ones take longer or

12:37 Speaker 1: maybe not.

12:38 Speaker 2: I mean, realistically, all the songs that we have wrote,

12:42 Speaker 2: I mean were at max took us an hour, yeah,

12:46 Speaker 2: to write and get fully played with, you know, all

12:50 Speaker 2: of us together, or at the very least the instrumental

12:54 Speaker 2: part of it. Obviously, lyrics come later with some songs,

12:57 Speaker 2: but I mean most of the stuff that we have done,

13:00 Speaker 2: I mean there were days that we wrote three or

13:03 Speaker 2: four songs in a day, within the span of a

13:06 Speaker 2: four hour practice.

13:07 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.

13:09 Speaker 5: It wasn't it Like it was better in and out

13:12 Speaker 5: And I'm pretty sure it was.

13:13 Speaker 2: It might have been within my eyes. I'm not sure though, Yeah, something. Yeah,

13:17 Speaker 2: because we all, you know, because we were all three

13:21 Speaker 2: of us used to be in cover bands. Oh yeah,

13:24 Speaker 2: Me and Jordan were in a cover band together, and

13:26 Speaker 2: Izzy was in a cover band. And actually, how me

13:29 Speaker 2: and Izzy met was that both of our cover bands

13:32 Speaker 2: played in a Battle of the Bands together. Oh wow,

13:37 Speaker 2: and we both met up afterwards. I'm like, hey, you're

13:39 Speaker 2: really good at vocals, and she's like, yeah, you're really

13:42 Speaker 2: good at drums. So we just kind of like okay,

13:44 Speaker 2: and then years later we decided let's form something here,

13:48 Speaker 2: so we were in our own cover band, so we

13:51 Speaker 2: had all this time to come up with these riffs

13:54 Speaker 2: and songs and lyrics and stuff for the day that

13:57 Speaker 2: we were eventually in an original band, but we wanted

13:59 Speaker 2: to be in. So it all came together really quickly.

14:03 Speaker 2: And I mean we've already started writing for the second album.

14:06 Speaker 2: We have like half of it already, no kidding.

14:08 Speaker 3: Wow, I'd say we wrote most of our songs, Like

14:11 Speaker 3: we wrote the eight songs that we have the original within.

14:15 Speaker 1: Like three or four months, no kidding.

14:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, we started recording in April, so righteh, three months,

14:21 Speaker 3: I think yep.

14:23 Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, talking about influences, somebody in the

14:25 Speaker 1: chat room made me realize I think it was I

14:29 Speaker 1: think it was Alan McIntyre. Oh, yeah, mentioned I never

14:34 Speaker 1: asked you about bass. I mean, I'm a bass player,

14:38 Speaker 1: so I can't believe I forgot to ask you about

14:39 Speaker 1: your influences on bass, and I am curious.

14:43 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess like my bass lines aren't really

14:45 Speaker 3: too complex, because i'd say I do vocal like i'd

14:48 Speaker 3: focus more on the vocals.

14:49 Speaker 1: Yeah, per se.

14:50 Speaker 3: I mean there are a lot of great bassis that

14:52 Speaker 3: I love, but it is a bit difficult to sing

14:55 Speaker 3: and play the bass, which is why I feel you

14:57 Speaker 3: find a lot less basis interesting.

15:01 Speaker 1: Yeah, see keep it fairly simple?

15:03 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah.

15:05 Speaker 1: What about like do you approach it any differently? Like

15:08 Speaker 1: if if Matt's singing, do you approach that any differently

15:11 Speaker 1: as far as your bass or.

15:13 Speaker 3: Do you I mean like as of like like our

15:16 Speaker 3: first album, It's still not too complex, but I'm definitely

15:20 Speaker 3: getting more into the creative writing for basses.

15:24 Speaker 1: Okay, Isaac Banks is asking, uh, and this isn't anyone

15:30 Speaker 1: you would know? We we Jenny and I are very

15:33 Speaker 1: familiar with Isaac Banks, aren't we? Isaac Banks is asking

15:38 Speaker 1: is he? Who are your influences? What's your favorite evan

15:42 Speaker 1: Essence song? Do you have a favorite Evanescence song? Probably

15:45 Speaker 1: more likely that you have a favorite Evanescence than Vixen.

15:51 Speaker 3: Right now, it's going Under. I love that song vocally,

15:54 Speaker 3: It's amazing.

15:55 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, Amy Lee's a great She's a great singer. Definitely,

15:58 Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. Now in terms of in terms of the

16:03 Speaker 1: band and like, do you all as a band, do

16:07 Speaker 1: you have a particular vibe or a particular sound that

16:10 Speaker 1: you try to achieve or is it more it's organic.

16:14 Speaker 1: It's how does that? How does that work?

16:17 Speaker 3: I mean, I think you have a various amount of sounds.

16:20 Speaker 3: All of our songs are kind of different, but they

16:22 Speaker 3: all still sound like they're made by us.

16:25 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think my dad he was.

16:30 Speaker 5: I think he might have been like one of the

16:31 Speaker 5: first people to be like yeah, I mean all the

16:33 Speaker 5: songs are like really unique, but they all have a

16:36 Speaker 5: specific touch to them that makes it like ident you know,

16:40 Speaker 5: has some identification to us yea, which is like great, Yeah,

16:44 Speaker 5: we have a different sound on every song, which makes

16:47 Speaker 5: the album seem a little more like experimental, I guess,

16:51 Speaker 5: but you can still be like, oh, yeah, this is

16:54 Speaker 5: that one band. It's not like there's features on the

16:57 Speaker 5: band or random people just coming in and playing songs

17:00 Speaker 5: or right.

17:00 Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean it's definitely.

17:05 Speaker 2: I'd say that our sound is definitely more metal focused,

17:10 Speaker 2: or at least we're you know, aiming to be more

17:13 Speaker 2: considered a metal band. But even then, you know, we

17:16 Speaker 2: have a lot of influences outside of you know, the

17:19 Speaker 2: basic rock and metal, but even within that, we like

17:22 Speaker 2: bands that often you know, you wouldn't picture their fans

17:26 Speaker 2: being in the same room.

17:28 Speaker 4: Right, you know, what I mean.

17:30 Speaker 2: I don't think there's a lot of dinner parties happening

17:32 Speaker 2: with Heart fans kiss fans and like, I don't know,

17:38 Speaker 2: Slayer fans or something like that. You know, I'm using

17:41 Speaker 2: that as an example, but I mean, I think from

17:44 Speaker 2: the beginning, with all our influences combined, we kind of

17:47 Speaker 2: tried to create something like if Heart was written by

17:53 Speaker 2: like slip Knot or something like that. You know, something

17:57 Speaker 2: heavy but with a little bit of like glam Edge

18:00 Speaker 2: of the Past or something like that. You know, something

18:02 Speaker 2: a sound that most people can listen to, you know,

18:06 Speaker 2: we you know, kind of like your second ever metal

18:09 Speaker 2: band you're listening to or whatever, something like that.

18:11 Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

18:13 Speaker 1: Well, what I think too is cool about about your

18:16 Speaker 1: sound and a band like this is there's a timelessness

18:19 Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, because you know if you if if

18:22 Speaker 1: you just played this for me and and I didn't

18:24 Speaker 1: know anything about you, and you said when do you

18:26 Speaker 1: think this was recorded, I wouldn't know. You know, it's

18:29 Speaker 1: it could have been yesterday, it could have been thirty

18:32 Speaker 1: years ago. There's a there's a timelessness to it that

18:36 Speaker 1: I think is really cool.

18:37 Speaker 4: Well, thank you.

18:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely are you playing a lot of shows. Are

18:42 Speaker 1: you doing a lot of live stuff.

19:05 Speaker 1: good that they have this one song not coming back.

20:36 Speaker 4: Right, yeah, right?

20:38 Speaker 1: So yeah, No, that's awesome. That's awesome. Oh, by the way,

20:41 Speaker 1: to your dad gave us these. I'll let me put

20:43 Speaker 1: the big camera on again so I can hold this up.

20:45 Speaker 1: You'll be able to see it better in the pictures.

20:47 Speaker 1: We'll take pictures after the show. But this, uh, this

20:49 Speaker 1: wonderful shirt. I love it. So is that your official

20:51 Speaker 1: logo on the shirt.

20:54 Speaker 2: That's a that's a little bit of a complicated situation

20:57 Speaker 2: there that I well, I mean, I guess so yeah,

21:00 Speaker 2: it's kind of like our little I guess mascot.

21:02 Speaker 4: You could say, we don't even.

21:03 Speaker 2: Have like a name for it yet or anything, but

21:05 Speaker 2: it's just something I it's something I honestly like sketched

21:08 Speaker 2: out in a little piece of notebook paper and sent

21:10 Speaker 2: to them. They're like, we love that. Yeah, yeah, so yeah,

21:13 Speaker 2: I guess it's our logo mascot. I don't really know,

21:16 Speaker 2: like I will.

21:17 Speaker 1: I will see it in my nightmares this evening, you know.

21:21 Speaker 1: But no, no, that's cool though, that's cool. Yeah, And

21:24 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you've got plenty of time to

21:26 Speaker 1: you know, over time, you can always maybe come up

21:28 Speaker 1: with a backstory or whatever, give it a give it

21:31 Speaker 1: a name, you know, like, yeah, no, that's cool, that's cool.

21:36 Speaker 1: And I like the Yeah, I like that. Where does

21:38 Speaker 1: the name come from? By the way, under the horizon.

21:42 Speaker 4: It it's funny.

21:45 Speaker 5: We can't so when we first started to like write originals,

21:48 Speaker 5: we were like, yeah, we need a name. We came

21:50 Speaker 5: up with all these names. I think one that I

21:53 Speaker 5: remember is you came up with just In because you

21:56 Speaker 5: want like new generation of you know, artists or whatever.

22:00 Speaker 1: I went on, wait, wait, what was it going to be?

22:02 Speaker 4: It was going to be just In.

22:06 Speaker 5: I went on to Google and started up like cool

22:09 Speaker 5: band names or whatever, and it came up with over

22:13 Speaker 5: the Horizon or something or over a Horizon.

22:16 Speaker 4: I didn't like that.

22:18 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was like under Undersounds gloomy undersounds metal, yes, yeah, yeah,

22:27 Speaker 5: so and I came back and I was like, hey,

22:29 Speaker 5: what do you think about under the Horizon? And everybody

22:32 Speaker 5: was like, oh, yeah, you know, it's cool, we like it.

22:35 Speaker 1: Yeah.

22:35 Speaker 5: It wasn't until Izzy wrote the title track under the

22:39 Speaker 5: Horizon we were really like had a meaning behind it.

22:43 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that makes sense. Did you Did you go

22:46 Speaker 1: through any others that you kind of could? I love

22:48 Speaker 1: hearing about rejected band names? Were there? Were there any others?

22:51 Speaker 1: Or or did that one present itself pretty early?

22:54 Speaker 4: I think you had some.

22:55 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I feel like I contributed some,

22:57 Speaker 2: but I can't. They must have been so bad that

23:00 Speaker 2: I can't.

23:00 Speaker 5: Even what they are, right, I'm not gonna I'm not

23:04 Speaker 5: gonna say they were bad.

23:05 Speaker 4: It was just they were a lot more. I didn't

23:09 Speaker 4: have that ring to it. They didn't have that.

23:12 Speaker 5: They were very like I don't want to say stock

23:15 Speaker 5: metal names, but they had a very like predictable type

23:19 Speaker 5: of name to it. Yeah, they were cool, but like, right,

23:23 Speaker 5: it wasn't what we were looking for, right, They didn't

23:25 Speaker 5: really fit our style because I guess to me, with

23:29 Speaker 5: my musical influences, I always thought that the original band

23:33 Speaker 5: that I was going to end up in was going

23:35 Speaker 5: to be the next Slayer, the next Pantera, the next

23:38 Speaker 5: you know whatever. So I came up with all these

23:41 Speaker 5: names with like blood and like all this you know,

23:44 Speaker 5: angry violent things, you know what I mean in metal music,

23:47 Speaker 5: And then you know, here it was like, well, it's

23:50 Speaker 5: not just metal, it's not just speed, it's not just death,

23:53 Speaker 5: it's not whatever, you know what I mean, it's all

23:55 Speaker 5: these it's a.

23:58 Speaker 4: What's that word, I.

23:59 Speaker 2: Don't know, a melting pot of all our influences. Yeah, yeah,

24:03 Speaker 2: oh a crucible. That's the ten dollars vocabulary word for

24:07 Speaker 2: that one, right there. Yeah, well played sir, of all

24:11 Speaker 2: our musical influences. So my names didn't really work. But yeah,

24:16 Speaker 2: under the Horizon came and it was like yeah, yeah

24:19 Speaker 2: that fits for us.

24:20 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, part of the challenge too, when when

24:23 Speaker 1: naming the band is trying to find something that nobody

24:25 Speaker 1: else already has or you know, so so you don't

24:28 Speaker 1: get in any trouble. You know, obviously there was a

24:33 Speaker 1: time and you know he's old enough to remember too,

24:36 Speaker 1: when you know, when you couldn't just go online and

24:39 Speaker 1: just google something and just you know, figure out if

24:42 Speaker 1: somebody else already already has it. So I I tell

24:47 Speaker 1: this story a lot. I went to high school with

24:50 Speaker 1: and he might even be listening. Xander Carlson really really

24:54 Speaker 1: talented guitarist. I think he's still active in the scene.

24:57 Speaker 1: But and he and I were in a band in

24:59 Speaker 1: high scho We just kind of briefly. But I ran

25:02 Speaker 1: into him after high school and he had a band

25:04 Speaker 1: called He's telling me about this new band he's in.

25:07 Speaker 1: He said, Uh, it's called Intuition, And he said that

25:10 Speaker 1: to me, and immediately I'm thinking, God, somebody's intuition. It's

25:15 Speaker 1: too obvious. It's probably already a thousand bands that are

25:19 Speaker 1: already out there using that name. And I swear to

25:21 Speaker 1: God I ran into him again. I just happened to

25:23 Speaker 1: run into We shopped at the same uh, convenience store.

25:27 Speaker 1: I run into him again like six months later, and

25:30 Speaker 1: I asked him how's the band? And he goes, oh, good,

25:33 Speaker 1: but we had to change our name because we heard

25:35 Speaker 1: from some cover band in Massachusetts. They're they're already using

25:39 Speaker 1: the name and they don't want us using it, and

25:42 Speaker 1: and I, you know, I'm too polite to say it,

25:44 Speaker 1: but in my mind I'm thinking, yeah, no kidding, but

25:47 Speaker 1: of course that happened. You called the band intuition, you know,

25:53 Speaker 1: But uh no, but I think Under the Horizon's a

25:56 Speaker 1: very very cool name. We should, uh, let's play another track?

26:00 Speaker 1: What but I'm gonna put you on the spot. I'll

26:02 Speaker 1: let you pick what would what would you like to

26:06 Speaker 1: uh to hear next or to share with the audience?

26:10 Speaker 3: Maybe in and out, in and out.

26:12 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good catch you one for all of

26:13 Speaker 4: you out there.

26:14 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I like that one. I like I said,

26:16 Speaker 1: I listened to the whole thing and that's That's also

26:18 Speaker 1: one of the ones that stood out to me. Are

26:22 Speaker 1: these all available? Are these on Spotify and everything for

26:25 Speaker 1: people who want.

26:25 Speaker 3: To hear them?

26:26 Speaker 2: Yes, every streaming platform that you could possibly think of

26:30 Speaker 2: the album's there. And also, if you still listen to

26:34 Speaker 2: physical music, which I know it's a rare breed out there,

26:58 Speaker 2: a it's weird to think of a metal band CD

27:01 Speaker 2: going on sale in a farm stand.

27:02 Speaker 1: But do they have a CD section?

27:05 Speaker 6: No?

27:05 Speaker 2: Actually we're the first CD they've ever sold. But you know,

30:52 Speaker 2: Yeah, show tonight, Rochester Performing Arts Center, All ages, ten

30:59 Speaker 2: dollars cover charge and the doors open at seven. We're

31:03 Speaker 2: playing with Day to a ten, which we talked about previously.

31:06 Speaker 2: Great band and uh, actually we're playing with another band,

31:11 Speaker 2: a cover band that is he's in called Tainted Hearts.

31:14 Speaker 1: Oh cool, Yeah, cool, pretty cool? What's so?

31:18 Speaker 6: Yeah?

31:19 Speaker 1: Tell us about that? Do you does hanted Hearts do

31:20 Speaker 1: a lot of shows and what do you What kind

31:22 Speaker 1: of covers do you do?

31:23 Speaker 3: Well, we haven't been together for too long, but we

31:27 Speaker 3: did play a show actually at the r Pack and

31:30 Speaker 3: we also played one at the Hotson Old Homes Day.

31:33 Speaker 3: But we do mostly like rock, like more poppier rock

31:38 Speaker 3: cover songs.

31:39 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, cool? Cool?

31:41 Speaker 6: Uh?

31:42 Speaker 1: Now what about you guys? Are either of you in

31:43 Speaker 1: other projects as well?

31:44 Speaker 4: Or I'm in a lot so Jordan, you go first?

31:48 Speaker 1: Of course you are. You're a drummer, right, Yeah.

31:52 Speaker 4: I don't know. I think the only other.

31:56 Speaker 5: Projects that I'm in is a cover band that he's

32:00 Speaker 5: also in, Room three oh one. We kind of we covered.

32:06 Speaker 5: I don't really think we have a specific genre that

32:09 Speaker 5: we stick to. We just cover whatever is a hit

32:13 Speaker 5: song and okay good yeah.

32:15 Speaker 4: Yeah.

32:16 Speaker 2: It's a student lead rock cover band that's actually connected

32:20 Speaker 2: to our high school.

32:22 Speaker 4: Yeah, the high school.

32:23 Speaker 2: When I first came in as a freshman, it was

32:27 Speaker 2: like just starting out and you know, they were playing like,

32:31 Speaker 2: you know, Green Day Nirvana, a really basic, you know,

32:35 Speaker 2: intro level stuff. But I could tell that some of

32:39 Speaker 2: the musicians and there were really good, and to be

32:43 Speaker 2: honest with you, I saw the drummer they had at

32:45 Speaker 2: the time, and I didn't really think he was that good.

32:48 Speaker 2: So I eventually found myself behind the drum set and

32:51 Speaker 2: then the rest was history. So yeah, we're it's a

32:55 Speaker 2: student led rock cover band. So we play at like

32:58 Speaker 2: all the school bands concerts, along with you know, concert

33:01 Speaker 2: band and choir. But then we also do stuff like

33:06 Speaker 2: you know, school festivals, you know, like field days and

33:08 Speaker 2: stuff like that, and we also do some outside of

33:12 Speaker 2: school gigs. But it's kind of been slowing down a

33:15 Speaker 2: little bit because me and Jordan have been obviously occupied with.

33:21 Speaker 4: This band here.

33:22 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, No, the reason I made the comment about, well,

33:27 Speaker 1: of course you're an other bands, you're a drummers because

33:29 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's it's a subject on the

33:31 Speaker 1: show a lot every I think it even actually it

33:35 Speaker 1: even came up when we were talking with Silicon KNG

33:38 Speaker 1: earlier about how every drummer is in so many bands,

33:40 Speaker 1: and you know, because drummers are hard to find.

33:43 Speaker 4: I guess we are.

33:44 Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, yeah, we're always every drummer I've

33:48 Speaker 2: talked to it's like, yeah, I'm in three bands, and

33:51 Speaker 2: me and myself, I'm also in three bands. So you know,

33:55 Speaker 2: I guess we're hard to find. And you know, we

33:57 Speaker 2: just kind of were like, yeah, whatever I can, we

33:59 Speaker 2: can both of these. Honestly, we're pretty bad. We're pretty

34:03 Speaker 2: famous for like cheating as musicians, you know what I mean,

34:06 Speaker 2: We're cheating on our previous bands with other bands and

34:09 Speaker 2: stuff like that. It's pretty bad, actually, but you know whatever.

34:14 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah so what so what else? So there's a third.

34:19 Speaker 2: BANDI yeah, well kind of it's like just starting out.

34:25 Speaker 2: It's a band called Blowflies. They're out of Keene and

34:29 Speaker 2: it's with a buddy that I actually met in the

34:33 Speaker 2: cover band Room three. I one the bass player, Doc Cassidy,

34:36 Speaker 2: wonderful bass player. But yeah, they're just starting out. It's

34:40 Speaker 2: more of a I don't even know what you would

34:42 Speaker 2: call it, like a post kind of grungy, kind of

34:48 Speaker 2: Midwest emo, kind of a little bit of everything. So

34:51 Speaker 2: a little bit more out of my style.

34:53 Speaker 4: But they're just starting out and I've been playing with them.

34:57 Speaker 4: We've done one show together.

34:59 Speaker 1: Yeah uh yeah. My my theory about the reason with

35:04 Speaker 1: drummers they're always in so many bands. Is because when

35:06 Speaker 1: you're when you're growing up and you first become interested

35:08 Speaker 1: in playing an instrument, you got to have to talk

35:10 Speaker 1: with the parents, right, you know, a lot of parents

35:13 Speaker 1: are gonna be like drums really Yeah?

35:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we had that conversation, but I mean they

35:19 Speaker 2: were kind of used to it because I started off

35:22 Speaker 2: on guitar, yeah, at like six, and then I moved

35:26 Speaker 2: on to bass, then went back to guitar, and I'm like,

35:29 Speaker 2: you know what, I don't really like or I like

35:31 Speaker 2: all both of these, but I'm not really that good

35:32 Speaker 2: at it, so I'll switch to drums. And then I

35:34 Speaker 2: finally when I was ten and I finally found my

35:37 Speaker 2: home behind the drum set.

35:38 Speaker 4: I was like, this is where I belong.

35:40 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, very cool. Did did all three of you?

35:44 Speaker 1: Did you all go to school together?

35:45 Speaker 3: Or no, I'm in a different school than them.

35:48 Speaker 1: Oh okay, but you guys went to school together?

35:51 Speaker 4: Yes? Or did you Yeah? We just met in a

35:55 Speaker 4: couple years ago.

35:57 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we met in high school because we went

36:02 Speaker 2: to separate middle schools. But we met in high school

36:04 Speaker 2: and then Izzy obviously went to Golfstown High School, so

36:10 Speaker 2: that's how we met. At the Battle of the Bands

36:11 Speaker 2: because obviously we would have never met otherwise.

36:15 Speaker 4: Sorry, you know what I mean.

36:16 Speaker 1: Yeah, do you are there any other bands that you

36:20 Speaker 1: kind of team up with? You know it it sort

36:22 Speaker 1: of happens organically in my experience, and you know, I

36:25 Speaker 1: was in a band that played with your dad's band

36:27 Speaker 1: a lot. We did a lot of shows together.

36:29 Speaker 4: Yeah.

36:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, sometimes bands just kind of, you know,

36:32 Speaker 1: you just end up teaming up. It just sort of happens.

36:35 Speaker 7: That.

36:35 Speaker 1: Is there anybody else in the scene that that you

36:37 Speaker 1: play a lot of shows.

36:38 Speaker 4: With or not yet unfortunately.

36:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're trying to make our way out there, and

36:43 Speaker 2: we're trying to, you know, try to also hopefully revitalize

36:47 Speaker 2: the scene a little bit because unfortunately a lot of

36:51 Speaker 2: it has died. So we're trying to, you know, find

36:54 Speaker 2: like minded people and be like, hey, come on, you know,

36:56 Speaker 2: music's still alive. Let's go, let's go play shows and

36:59 Speaker 2: all that. So, yeah, not yet, but we hope to

37:02 Speaker 2: find other bands out there who are like us, who

37:05 Speaker 2: are willing to play shows with us.

37:06 Speaker 4: You know, we like friends.

37:08 Speaker 1: So yeah, do you feel like there's a there's a

37:11 Speaker 1: dearth of bands that are doing kind of what you're

37:14 Speaker 1: doing right now and locally or.

37:17 Speaker 3: I'm not that I've like really met or anything. Like,

37:20 Speaker 3: I don't see too many younger people playing rock or

37:24 Speaker 3: like heavy music at all.

37:27 Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of the a lot of the younger

37:31 Speaker 5: talent and music that I see now it's you know, rap,

37:36 Speaker 5: you know that type of stuff, which, hey, I'm not hating,

37:40 Speaker 5: but doesn't help us out right, you know it. You know,

37:48 Speaker 5: I wish there was more younger bands, you know, rock

37:52 Speaker 5: music and stuff, but it's just kind of how it

37:54 Speaker 5: is today.

37:56 Speaker 1: No, it's interesting that you say that, because you know,

37:58 Speaker 1: I was talking earlier about how I feel that this

38:00 Speaker 1: kind of music is timeless, but it does occur to me. Again,

38:04 Speaker 1: if you were to just play this for me and say,

38:06 Speaker 1: you know, when do you think this was done? I

38:08 Speaker 1: wouldn't know, but I probably would assume that the members

38:14 Speaker 1: of the band were older than the three of you are,

38:16 Speaker 1: because you're right, you don't see a lot of people

38:18 Speaker 1: necessarily your age doing this kind of music, or at

38:21 Speaker 1: least doing it, you know, with this level of sophistication,

38:25 Speaker 1: because like I said, some of some of this is

38:27 Speaker 1: you know complex, and yeah, that's that's interesting. I mean,

38:31 Speaker 1: I you know. But again, you know, you've been together

38:33 Speaker 1: less than a year two, so I assume as you

38:35 Speaker 1: go along you'll meet other bands that you can kind

38:37 Speaker 1: of like I said, you know, and it just happens.

38:39 Speaker 1: It just happens organically, you know. But we should play

38:43 Speaker 1: another track from the album. What do you want to

38:47 Speaker 1: What do you want to play next?

38:48 Speaker 4: You guys, go with what you guys? Good? Yeah, within

38:52 Speaker 4: my eyes I can't talk with my Let the guitar

38:54 Speaker 4: player talk. It's fine. I'm just the drummer. I don't

38:57 Speaker 4: know how to speak.

38:58 Speaker 1: All right, we'll get we'll give this one a spin,

39:02 Speaker 1: and uh anything we should know about this before we

39:04 Speaker 1: play it.

39:06 Speaker 5: We all, I think one of the main parts of

39:09 Speaker 5: it that sticks out, all three of us sing on it.

39:12 Speaker 4: That's true.

39:14 Speaker 5: Does I do versus? He does the chorus and in

39:17 Speaker 5: the background you'll hear like a or whatever. Okay, no vocalism,

39:23 Speaker 5: but that's easy.

39:24 Speaker 1: Oh, very cool, Very cool. All right, let's give this

39:28 Speaker 1: a listen. If you're just joining us, the band is

39:31 Speaker 1: under the horizon there here with us, live in studio,

39:33 Speaker 1: and this is called within my Eyes.

40:01 Speaker 10: I can't breathe when I'm alone, but I can't talk

40:06 Speaker 10: on around.

40:08 Speaker 8: I can't see off my n put you off with

40:12 Speaker 8: my racing the ground?

42:41 Speaker 6: Boy? Oh I.

43:07 Speaker 11: Hmm.

43:08 Speaker 1: It's got a big dramatic ending. I really like that

43:10 Speaker 1: A lot that's called within my eyes. The band is

43:13 Speaker 1: under the horizon and we've got all three members of

43:16 Speaker 1: the band here with us live in studio. We were

43:18 Speaker 1: talking off air while it was playing that that's that

43:21 Speaker 1: song's got a touch of grunge, which kind of sets

43:25 Speaker 1: it apart from a lot of these other songs. And Jordan,

43:27 Speaker 1: you were saying, when you uh, online on Uh it

43:30 Speaker 1: was it on Apple Music on Apple Music.

43:32 Speaker 4: It similar artists.

43:34 Speaker 5: It comes up with like deaf tones Alison Shane stuff

43:38 Speaker 5: very grungy or you know, have that darker feel.

43:41 Speaker 1: I guess I don't know, Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course

43:44 Speaker 1: the drums kind of ungrunge it a little bit because

43:47 Speaker 1: you don't hear you don't hear double bass usually in grunge.

43:49 Speaker 4: No, there's a bit.

43:51 Speaker 1: I cannot remember who they are now, Jenny, you probably

43:55 Speaker 1: don't remember either. It was a couple of years ago

43:57 Speaker 1: we had a band on who very grunge ex except

44:00 Speaker 1: for the drums. It was a three piece band. Uh,

44:03 Speaker 1: female singer. I can't but yeah, but there's a band

44:08 Speaker 1: from the area who. Yeah, they're they're like very grunge,

44:11 Speaker 1: like not just a hint of it except the double

44:14 Speaker 1: bass drum, which is cool because it's it's it's a

44:18 Speaker 1: different sound. But I cannot I can picture them too,

44:21 Speaker 1: but I cannot remember the name. It'll come to me

44:23 Speaker 1: later on in the day when it no longer matters.

44:25 Speaker 1: But anyway, but I really like that track. Now, Now,

44:29 Speaker 1: where do you record? What's the recording process?

44:31 Speaker 4: Like my house?

44:34 Speaker 2: We so we started recording the drum tracks. We recorded

44:38 Speaker 2: that down in the band room. We recorded in April,

44:44 Speaker 2: and it's in pretty much my basement is the bandroom.

44:47 Speaker 2: But you know, so it was so cold, these poor guys,

44:51 Speaker 2: and uh we recorded the drum tracks and pretty much

44:55 Speaker 2: like a day, day and a half maybe, and then

44:59 Speaker 2: we moved upstairs into my attic for the guitar tracks,

45:04 Speaker 2: and then we recorded vocals in my bedroom. So pretty

45:07 Speaker 2: much half of the house was a recording studio for

45:10 Speaker 2: like a week. But yeah, just recording anywhere.

45:13 Speaker 3: We could, I say it would be more than a week.

45:16 Speaker 4: I don't know how long did we record for.

45:19 Speaker 1: I don't know, probably a couple of weeks, at least a.

45:21 Speaker 4: Couple maybe three weeks. He's saying three weeks weeks.

45:24 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh very cool. No, that's that's a

45:29 Speaker 1: good way to do it, you know. It's it's you know,

45:31 Speaker 1: we live in an era to where you've got so

45:33 Speaker 1: many different options in terms of how you record. So

45:37 Speaker 1: do you uh, I think you had said earlier too,

45:39 Speaker 1: you're already working on new material. Is that is that, Craig?

45:42 Speaker 1: Do you have plans to record it soon or you

45:44 Speaker 1: kind of focused on the current album right now?

45:47 Speaker 3: The current album right now, and with the gigs that

45:50 Speaker 3: we have coming up, I feel that's what we're focusing

45:53 Speaker 3: on more than original new music.

45:55 Speaker 2: Yeah, although speaking on gigs that are coming up, or

45:59 Speaker 2: playing two with the new songs at the show tonight,

46:02 Speaker 2: like songs that are going on the next album, Yeah,

46:06 Speaker 2: no one's heard it, but we had extra times where like, oh,

46:08 Speaker 2: we'll give the audience a little sneak peek of what's

46:11 Speaker 2: to come. So yeah, if any of you guys that

46:12 Speaker 2: are listening right now are coming to that, you'll get

46:14 Speaker 2: to hear two new songs that you can hear right now.

46:17 Speaker 1: Oh, very cool, excellent, excellent. Are you gonna I mean,

46:22 Speaker 1: the current run of shows obviously are keeping very busy.

46:27 Speaker 1: Are you going to try to keep up that pace? So,

46:29 Speaker 1: you know a lot of bands kind of slow down

46:30 Speaker 1: in the winter or that's when they kind of shift

46:32 Speaker 1: to recording or writing or.

46:37 Speaker 3: And we'll just have to see how things go, you know.

46:39 Speaker 1: Yeah.

46:39 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm hoping that the energy that we have right

46:43 Speaker 5: now like follows through even after the shows.

46:46 Speaker 4: Yeah, but like she said, only time will tell.

46:49 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well you're off to a great start,
