3:31 Speaker 11: Jonah Jonah, I play the drums.

3:33 Speaker 7: You play the drums, very good, very good.

3:37 Speaker 11: And that's not a drummer.

3:39 Speaker 7: But you don't have but you don't have like a

3:42 Speaker 7: funny weird name.

3:43 Speaker 5: Or he does, but we can't stay it on the radio.

3:46 Speaker 11: Oh gotcha, Jona Jonah five bone, uh something like that.

3:52 Speaker 5: Yeah, something like that.

3:55 Speaker 9: All right, So let me ask, so Sean, what what's

3:58 Speaker 9: your weird name again?

3:59 Speaker 5: Your nickname Skeet three pan?

4:02 Speaker 7: Okay.

4:03 Speaker 8: So I went to Taco Bell many many moons ago

4:07 Speaker 8: after having a few drinks, and I told them because

4:11 Speaker 8: they asked my name for the order and I said

4:13 Speaker 8: my name was Scaffon with a K yes, and they

4:16 Speaker 8: spelled it as Skeet three pan and they yelled ski

4:19 Speaker 8: three pan to call me over for my order, and

4:22 Speaker 8: it just it just stuck from there.

4:25 Speaker 7: So I love that.

4:26 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's great. Oh.

4:29 Speaker 8: Also side notes, so Cody isn't here. He is the bassist,

4:33 Speaker 8: uh and he puts that bag there, but he is

4:36 Speaker 8: at work. So okay, I wanted to clarify that.

4:39 Speaker 7: Oh okay, yeah, his name is Han Blo Okay, yeah,

4:45 Speaker 7: all right, And where's your funny name came from? What

4:47 Speaker 7: was it or is that a story you can tell

4:49 Speaker 7: on the air.

4:50 Speaker 12: Well, it's easy because well, first off, the name is

4:53 Speaker 12: dB Pooper, don't forget, and it was it was just

4:56 Speaker 12: it was given to me by these gentlemen.

4:57 Speaker 10: So okay, oh okay, it's it's it's an honorary name.

5:01 Speaker 10: So I'll dig it with Pride.

5:02 Speaker 9: Okay, how long have you been in the band? You

5:04 Speaker 9: said your name?

5:05 Speaker 12: I want to say since like a Halloween okay, like

5:08 Speaker 12: like maybe like a couple weeks before Halloween.

5:10 Speaker 5: Our first show of them was Halloween.

5:12 Speaker 6: Uh.

5:13 Speaker 8: He had maybe three practices with us Pride too, and

5:16 Speaker 8: he just picked it up like that, yeah immediately.

5:18 Speaker 9: Yeah, oh very good.

5:19 Speaker 5: Yeah.

5:20 Speaker 7: How long has the band existed?

5:23 Speaker 8: Technically since summer summer twenty twenty one. Yeah, so yeah,

5:29 Speaker 8: So we started the band. It was just Joanah and

5:31 Speaker 8: I and we were in the room of my old apartment.

5:35 Speaker 8: We had my electronic kit and I had this super

5:40 Speaker 8: crappy guitar that was fed straight into my DII and

5:44 Speaker 8: we had it monitoring. So I could hear it well recorded, Yeah,

5:47 Speaker 8: and that's how we recorded those first three songs, no kidding. Yeah,

5:51 Speaker 8: So our summer twenty one demos up on our band camp.

5:53 Speaker 8: I think it's on Spotify as well. All our music's

5:56 Speaker 8: on all the streaming.

5:57 Speaker 10: But not to be confused with the three songs we're listening.

5:59 Speaker 5: To today, yeah exactly.

6:00 Speaker 8: Yeah, there's quite the difference between the two sonically alone.

6:06 Speaker 8: But yeah, we just kept going and recording and doing

6:13 Speaker 8: music and having fun, and we eventually rained in our

6:19 Speaker 8: old guitarist, Josh. So we originally brought him in, I believe,

6:23 Speaker 8: on bass, and then I was gonna play bass, he

6:25 Speaker 8: was gonna play guitar, and jonahould play drums, and he

6:31 Speaker 8: really rained us in because when Jana and I play together,

6:33 Speaker 8: we just play as fast as humanly possible.

6:36 Speaker 5: Yeah, so Josh was kind of our metronome.

6:39 Speaker 8: And then after we reeled Josh in, he suggested that

6:44 Speaker 8: we get Cody on bass, and right from the get go,

6:48 Speaker 8: it was like four friends in a room that have

6:50 Speaker 8: known each other forever, Like we were doing more joking

6:53 Speaker 8: than actually making music. So it was like it was

6:57 Speaker 8: a very nice fit, and I want to say a

7:00 Speaker 8: month after that month or two, we recorded all of

7:05 Speaker 8: the tracks that are on our album rough Cuts, which

7:08 Speaker 8: it's no misnomer.

7:09 Speaker 5: They're all like room recordings that.

7:12 Speaker 8: I ripped the audio from the video of so they're

7:16 Speaker 8: not Wow, I bootleg all of our music.

7:22 Speaker 9: That's very punk rock, really is.

7:26 Speaker 8: So Jonah actually had this huge cassette deck because we

7:31 Speaker 8: put all our music on cassette. Yeah, like we handed

7:34 Speaker 8: it and uh wow, yeah that's a whole thing. But

7:38 Speaker 8: Jonah and I were using his cassette deck cause mine

7:41 Speaker 8: I just have like the little single cassette one you'd

7:44 Speaker 8: bring to like a college lecture in the nineties. So

7:48 Speaker 8: it's not the best. And uh we tried his and

7:52 Speaker 8: for it to record it, I forget exactly what it's called.

7:56 Speaker 8: But it'll take like a speed dubbing. Yes, so his

7:59 Speaker 8: has speed dumb, so it'll take like a two minute

8:02 Speaker 8: song and it'll record it faster, like it plays the

8:05 Speaker 8: tape at a higher speed while it's recording. Yeah yeah,

8:08 Speaker 8: but when it does that, you can actually turn the

8:11 Speaker 8: volume on and listen and it sounds like the Chipmunks.

8:14 Speaker 5: It's yeah, yeah, yeah.

8:17 Speaker 11: And the chip Punks.

8:18 Speaker 7: Yeah, I've heard of that speed dubbing. But but do

8:22 Speaker 7: you lose quality when you do it that way or

8:24 Speaker 7: does it does it?

8:24 Speaker 8: Would imagine, Yeah, I would definitely imagine. So, but we

8:29 Speaker 8: we weren't exactly much exactly so Jonah had an idea

8:36 Speaker 8: a while back that we would take like because I

8:38 Speaker 8: record to cassette from a line out on my computer

8:42 Speaker 8: directly into the cassette player. Okay, yeah, so it's it's

8:47 Speaker 8: a little jankee. But uh, he had the idea of

8:50 Speaker 8: doing that and then just continuing to record from cassette

8:54 Speaker 8: to cassette to cassette, so it just loses more and

8:56 Speaker 8: more quality until it's just like jarbled.

9:01 Speaker 5: Yeah.

9:02 Speaker 8: So we we do want there to be some quality

9:07 Speaker 8: to our music where it's like you can listen to it,

9:09 Speaker 8: But of course we don't need super ritzy recordings and

9:13 Speaker 8: like a three thousand dollars per hour room. We want

9:16 Speaker 8: we want it to sound as true as it can. Yeah,

9:19 Speaker 8: because we're not those type of people.

9:20 Speaker 5: We're not. We didn't pull up in a limousine right right.

9:24 Speaker 12: Right, And you don't need a super expensive studio to

9:27 Speaker 12: catch authenticity either, you know what I mean. And I

9:29 Speaker 12: think that's kind of the biggest thing.

9:31 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, well you know, we'll take one though. Yeah, yeah,

9:35 Speaker 11: as a free one.

9:36 Speaker 5: Yes, it would be rude to not accept.

9:38 Speaker 10: We're good guests.

9:39 Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go. If the opportunity presents itself, sure,

9:43 Speaker 7: why wouldn't you. Yeah, so do you so with the cassettes?

9:47 Speaker 7: So so do you sell the cassettes that shows?

9:49 Speaker 5: Yeah?

9:49 Speaker 8: So we actually I think we only have three left,

9:53 Speaker 8: no kidding.

9:54 Speaker 5: Yeah.

9:54 Speaker 8: So every or darn near every person that we've sold

9:57 Speaker 8: a cassette too has followed it up by saying, I

10:00 Speaker 8: have no way to play this, right, And almost all

10:05 Speaker 8: the people who didn't buy cassette said I have no

10:07 Speaker 8: way to play this right. But I think the two

10:10 Speaker 8: people we've given cassettes to actually had cassette players and

10:13 Speaker 8: were like, oh, you can just okay, take it. You're

10:15 Speaker 8: not going to use it as a paperweight.

10:17 Speaker 10: Yeah, also works great as a key. Yeah, it's a phenomenal.

10:21 Speaker 7: Yeah.

10:23 Speaker 8: So I found a briefcase on the side of the road.

10:26 Speaker 8: There was a moving sale in this like ritzy neighborhood,

10:29 Speaker 8: and they had a briefcase.

10:31 Speaker 5: I was just going.

10:32 Speaker 8: They had a huge table of free stuff and I

10:34 Speaker 8: opened the briefcase up there was like seventy blank cassettes

10:37 Speaker 8: in it wow wrapped. And I was like, well, I

10:41 Speaker 8: guess I'm starting a label.

10:42 Speaker 5: And I didn't.

10:42 Speaker 8: I never started a label, but I put yeah, I

10:45 Speaker 8: put are I think two albums EPs, whatever you want

10:51 Speaker 8: to call them, on cassette or three?

10:55 Speaker 5: Actually?

10:55 Speaker 8: Yeah, so three of our releases are on cassette or

10:58 Speaker 8: where we got rid.

10:59 Speaker 5: Of all of them? Uh?

11:00 Speaker 6: Yeah?

11:01 Speaker 8: We we recorded him in my room from my computer

11:06 Speaker 8: to the tape deck. Yeah, made all the album art,

11:10 Speaker 8: made all the album sleeves.

11:11 Speaker 10: Like we might get demand now I might have to

11:15 Speaker 10: mix some more.

11:15 Speaker 5: No, absolutely not.

11:19 Speaker 7: No. It's it's interesting to me because I remember it

11:21 Speaker 7: was probably seven or eight years ago. Maybe I was

11:24 Speaker 7: on band camp dot com and and I'm looking around.

11:28 Speaker 7: I'm looking for bands in the area and see who's

11:31 Speaker 7: out there, and and I noticed somebody. I don't remember

11:34 Speaker 7: who it was the first one I noticed, but I

11:35 Speaker 7: noticed somebody was selling cassette tapes. Yeah. I was like, huh,

11:39 Speaker 7: did I just time travel? And then I looked around.

11:43 Speaker 7: I'm looking at others, and I'm like, oh, it's not

11:45 Speaker 7: just them. This is a thing now, this is actually happening.

11:47 Speaker 7: People are doing this. I was like, that's pretty cool.

11:50 Speaker 5: It is super cool.

11:51 Speaker 8: Like I I am happy to see it because the

11:56 Speaker 8: more formats we have to listen to, the better. Like, yeah,

12:00 Speaker 8: sure you can get like a flack recording, listen to

12:03 Speaker 8: it on the nicest sound system you have via your computer,

12:07 Speaker 8: what have you. I still love the emotion behind the

12:11 Speaker 8: music that was recorded on to cassette, you know, and

12:14 Speaker 8: not to discredit the stuff that's overproduced if you will. Yeah,

12:19 Speaker 8: it's just it feels more authentic, I know what you mean.

12:22 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, almost, how like Vinyl had like a resurgenist

12:25 Speaker 12: lately and you know, now cassettes and I bought my

12:28 Speaker 12: son like a whole bunch of CDs in a boombox

12:30 Speaker 12: for Christmas. Yeah, he's a you know, he's a he's ten,

12:33 Speaker 12: and you know, he didn't grow up a CDs. But

12:36 Speaker 12: he's listening to his room and he pops them in

12:38 Speaker 12: and listens to the tracks and he's really liking it.

12:40 Speaker 10: So it's cool to see that.

12:41 Speaker 7: Yeah.

12:41 Speaker 9: Yeah, well, ultimately, you know, people don't know that the quality.

12:48 Speaker 7: I mean, I think Vinyl sounds better than anything, right nothing, Vinyl, Well,

12:52 Speaker 7: Vinyl sounds better than a CD, and a CD sounds

12:55 Speaker 7: better than a wave file, and a wave file sounds

12:57 Speaker 7: better than an MP three and so on, you know.

12:59 Speaker 7: But but I think I think a lot of people

13:01 Speaker 7: just don't realize that.

13:02 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, but and they all sound better than

13:04 Speaker 11: a tape.

13:08 Speaker 7: Because with a tape you'll you'll get I mean, I

13:10 Speaker 7: guess with a cassette you get some of that warmth

13:12 Speaker 7: that you get with vinyl, right yeah, but you might

13:15 Speaker 7: get some hiss too.

13:17 Speaker 12: I feel like with vinyl though too, with you know,

13:19 Speaker 12: amongst other things, it's like the ritual of doing it.

13:21 Speaker 12: You know, to leave and you're reading up everything and

13:24 Speaker 12: you put it down and set the needle and all that,

13:26 Speaker 12: so it's, you know, the ritual of it at all.

13:29 Speaker 2: Well.

13:29 Speaker 7: My theory too is I think probably most people who

13:32 Speaker 7: buy vinyl never open it, or or they open it,

13:34 Speaker 7: but they don't they don't play it.

13:36 Speaker 9: Yeah, like like just like with the cassettes.

13:38 Speaker 7: You know, if someone's like a really big fan, you know,

13:40 Speaker 7: they might just want it to have it, yeah, but

13:42 Speaker 7: they're not, but they have nothing to play it on.

13:44 Speaker 7: And I strongly suspect that most of the people who

13:47 Speaker 7: buy vinyl don't.

13:48 Speaker 5: Even have a record player, right, I'd have to agree

13:50 Speaker 5: with you.

13:51 Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's I think it was what was it,

13:53 Speaker 7: twenty twenty two. I think was the first year that

13:57 Speaker 7: vinyl had outsold CDs.

13:59 Speaker 5: Yeah, in forever.

14:00 Speaker 7: I think it was twenty twenty.

14:01 Speaker 10: They're everywhere f y E, Newberry, Comics, everywhere you go

14:04 Speaker 10: there's records.

14:05 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I haven't even forget even a Walmart. I've

14:08 Speaker 7: seen vinylists. They've got it like that.

14:09 Speaker 8: That is the That is the funniest part of it.

14:12 Speaker 8: Like when when you start seeing a certain type of

14:15 Speaker 8: product being sold at Walmart, that's when you know it's like, oh,

14:19 Speaker 8: this is definitely a thing.

14:21 Speaker 10: Now got to go to Walmart for my George Straight CDs.

14:28 Speaker 7: Yeah, it is so I I worked at I worked

14:31 Speaker 7: at f y E, which before that was Strawberries. I

14:34 Speaker 7: don't know if any of you guys remember Strawberries, No,

14:36 Speaker 7: but that was that was a record store that U

14:40 Speaker 7: f Ye came in and bought. But there were Strawberries

14:42 Speaker 7: locations all over New England. And I remember when we

14:45 Speaker 7: had when when I started there, we still had cassette tapes,

14:48 Speaker 7: SU and uh and it was interesting. One of the

14:51 Speaker 7: things that I always found fascinating was to see, you know,

14:55 Speaker 7: older technology you know, people make all kinds of predictions

14:59 Speaker 7: about when it's going to go away, but then does

15:02 Speaker 7: it actually go away, you know. And cassettes, even at

15:05 Speaker 7: that time, hung on for a lot longer than I

15:08 Speaker 7: would have expected. And I think the reason was they

15:11 Speaker 7: were still selling new cars with cassette players in them,

15:14 Speaker 7: and then once that stopped, that's when we didn't have

15:17 Speaker 7: cassettes anymore in the store. So it's wild to see

15:20 Speaker 7: them come back. And of course vinyl, which never went away.

15:23 Speaker 5: People.

15:23 Speaker 7: It's funny people talk about vinyl like, oh, vinyl is back,

15:26 Speaker 7: and it's like, well, never stopped. Yea, they never stopped

15:30 Speaker 7: making vinyl.

15:30 Speaker 11: But I have a record player in my car.

15:34 Speaker 5: Do you really know?

15:35 Speaker 13: Oh?

15:36 Speaker 10: Okay, I think he's got the dash mount for that.

15:40 Speaker 7: So I was gonna say, I think if you buy

15:41 Speaker 7: a Tesla, you can actually get it with the record

15:43 Speaker 7: player in it. Like I'm not even kidding.

15:44 Speaker 5: Oh, man, have you ever seen the.

15:49 Speaker 8: No, I don't think I have, so it, dude, it's

15:51 Speaker 8: basically like plastic the thickness of a soda bottle, like

15:56 Speaker 8: a two liters of soda. Yeah, and they I guess

15:58 Speaker 8: they used to give the mountain boxes this Cereal, But

16:00 Speaker 8: I got one from one of my favorite bands. They

16:03 Speaker 8: have like they do it all DIY and I bought

16:07 Speaker 8: this record. I've never seen a flexi disc before in

16:09 Speaker 8: my life, and it's just like a sheet of plastic.

16:11 Speaker 5: It's so thin. And I pulled it out. I'm like,

16:14 Speaker 5: did these guys like pull a fast one on me?

16:16 Speaker 5: Is this a joke? And I put it on.

16:18 Speaker 8: It actually plays, and I looked it up. So flexi

16:20 Speaker 8: discs are like very low quality. The quality is terrible,

16:24 Speaker 8: but they're definitely a novelty because it is cool to

16:29 Speaker 8: see this thing and be like, I can play music off.

16:31 Speaker 7: Of that, no kidding.

16:32 Speaker 8: Yeah, I definitely recommend looking out and you just play

16:35 Speaker 8: it on a record player. Yeah, you can play it

16:36 Speaker 8: on a record player. And they're like, I was looking

16:39 Speaker 8: into how much it costs to get a run of them.

16:41 Speaker 8: It's not it's not worth it.

16:43 Speaker 5: There's more.

16:44 Speaker 8: There's more labor involved than you would imagine for that

16:48 Speaker 8: tiny little piece of plastic.

16:49 Speaker 7: But yeah, because it's probably there's probably like one place

16:52 Speaker 7: in the entire country that does.

16:54 Speaker 8: Yeah, there's not too many. There's not a high demand

16:57 Speaker 8: for flexi discs for a reason.

16:58 Speaker 10: Yeah, a little bit of a new meaning to low fi.

17:01 Speaker 5: Yeah.

17:02 Speaker 7: Is it the size of a full record?

17:04 Speaker 8: Or is it what I believe? They make some that

17:06 Speaker 8: are the size of a full record. The one I

17:08 Speaker 8: got was like a seven inch okay, so yeah, well

17:12 Speaker 8: that's wild.

17:12 Speaker 7: Yeah, I've never even heard of that, which surprises me.

17:14 Speaker 7: But oh that's cool. I'm gonna have to look that up.

17:16 Speaker 7: I'm super curious now now.

17:19 Speaker 9: So but you guys put you do CDs to right

17:22 Speaker 9: or do you have.

17:23 Speaker 5: We ever done a CD?

17:25 Speaker 11: Have yet to make it?

17:28 Speaker 5: Okay, I'm working on it.

17:30 Speaker 7: Yeah, but but but is that so I assume that's

17:33 Speaker 7: the plan for the new It's an EP right there.

17:35 Speaker 11: Yeah.

17:35 Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's gonna be a six song EP.

17:39 Speaker 6: Uh.

17:39 Speaker 8: It's gonna be coming out January twenty fourth. Funny enough,

17:43 Speaker 8: we're playing at Codo and Lowell January twenty fourth with

17:47 Speaker 8: our good buddies Street Trash okay and the Lipsticks Boys yep,

17:52 Speaker 8: the Lipstick Boys hat and yes, the black hat. Oh yes,

17:56 Speaker 8: so that should be a good time. I think it's uh,

17:58 Speaker 8: it's gonna start at nine. It's on our Instagram. But uh, yeah,

18:02 Speaker 8: six song EP on the way and we are going

18:05 Speaker 8: to put it on CDs. Okay, yeah, the theoretically they're

18:10 Speaker 8: gonna realistically, it's gonna be a CDR that we burnt

18:13 Speaker 8: it onto and I just wrote on sharp with Sharpie

18:16 Speaker 8: on it, like this is it.

18:19 Speaker 5: Yeah.

18:19 Speaker 12: I'm a big CD fan, so I'll definitely be getting one.

18:22 Speaker 12: However that needs to come to fruition. There'll be five dollars.

18:26 Speaker 5: Okay.

18:28 Speaker 9: I love the CDR idea.

18:30 Speaker 8: Yeah, well I've I've done it before where I printed

18:33 Speaker 8: out the Uh it's like a sticky label you can

18:36 Speaker 8: put right on top of the CD. Yeah, so I

18:38 Speaker 8: can make it look a little more Yeah.

18:41 Speaker 5: Yeah, but.

18:43 Speaker 9: That's funny.

18:43 Speaker 7: When I first started doing this because I started well, actually, yeah,

18:50 Speaker 7: when I started interviewing bands, like back in two thousand

18:52 Speaker 7: and eight, two thousand and nine. This show hasn't existed

18:55 Speaker 7: that long, but but I was doing it for a

18:56 Speaker 7: while before I was at W M and H. And

18:58 Speaker 7: when I first started, like people hadn't even gotten really

19:01 Speaker 7: comfortable yet with sending things via Dropbox and Google Drive

19:04 Speaker 7: or just attaching files to an email, and occasionally like

19:08 Speaker 7: guests would show up. The move was they'd have a

19:12 Speaker 7: CD that they burned with the music on it that

19:14 Speaker 7: they wanted to play, and they'd write on it with

19:16 Speaker 7: a sharpie and then it wouldn't even be in a case.

19:18 Speaker 7: They would hand it to me. They put the CD

19:20 Speaker 7: on their finger and be like, here.

19:22 Speaker 10: You go, I've heard you. I've heard you. Tell this

19:24 Speaker 10: more sure, And that would happen all the time.

19:29 Speaker 12: Well if you have kids too, like you know, with

19:30 Speaker 12: like any like Xbox or PlayStation disc, like, if it's

19:34 Speaker 12: not in the machine, that's the last time it'll be

19:36 Speaker 12: in the machine.

19:38 Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, it's nice to have technology, you know, we do.

19:44 Speaker 7: We actually have a CD player here, but the only

19:46 Speaker 7: one who ever, I don't know if he has no

19:47 Speaker 7: rob as a veto, he also to show here called

19:49 Speaker 7: granted state of Mind and he uses it. But he's

19:52 Speaker 7: the only one. I've never even used a CD player.

19:55 Speaker 7: That's sick, yeah, but it's but yeah, the technology is wonderful,

20:00 Speaker 7: too wonderful to have. So now, so where did you

20:03 Speaker 7: guys record so the new EP, the six songs? And

20:06 Speaker 7: did you record it the same way you've recorded everything

20:08 Speaker 7: else or no?

20:09 Speaker 8: So we actually we we bucked up and started paying

20:15 Speaker 8: for studio time instead of just recording it with a

20:18 Speaker 8: crappy camera. Oh god, yeah, so we recorded it with

20:22 Speaker 8: our good buddy Axel.

20:23 Speaker 3: Uh.

20:24 Speaker 13: He helped us bang it out. It took I only

20:27 Speaker 13: know one axle around your axle, Baguley.

20:29 Speaker 5: Yeah, the very same. Yeah. Yeah.

20:33 Speaker 10: He's a great guy.

20:33 Speaker 5: Yeah he as I.

20:35 Speaker 8: I told him several times. He's an absolute wizard.

20:37 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah.

20:40 Speaker 6: Yeah.

20:40 Speaker 8: So if he's listening, shout out to Axel for sure,

20:44 Speaker 8: or more specifically PACIFICO. Don't know what I mean specific Yeah.

20:50 Speaker 8: Uh So it took us about seven or eight hours

20:54 Speaker 8: to bang it all out. We did the drums all

20:56 Speaker 8: in one night, then we did guitar and bass the

20:59 Speaker 8: next night, then we did vocals. Okay, so it was

21:02 Speaker 8: uh I'm still getting over being tired from all of

21:06 Speaker 8: that because that was the week before Christmas is when

21:10 Speaker 8: we like really started hammering it down. So it was

21:13 Speaker 8: a busy time to be doing that. Uh yeah, if.

21:18 Speaker 12: I'm not mistaken, I want to say that's the first

21:20 Speaker 12: time we've all experienced that kind of like recording process.

21:23 Speaker 12: So it was you know, you're I gotta be on point,

21:26 Speaker 12: and you know, I've getten locked down and locked in.

21:30 Speaker 8: So I've done it once before, but it was maybe

21:36 Speaker 8: four hours worth of being in the studio and I

21:37 Speaker 8: was on drums the entire time, so it was like

21:41 Speaker 8: I was in a completely separate room with headphones on it.

21:45 Speaker 8: That was the first time I ever had to do that,

21:47 Speaker 8: and I'm like, this is the weirdest thing.

21:49 Speaker 7: Is weird, isn't it?

21:50 Speaker 5: It's so weird. Yeah yeah, oh that's uh.

21:54 Speaker 7: That's cool though, that you got recorded with AXL. Where

21:57 Speaker 7: did the place in Nashawa? Yes, sir, okay, excellent. Yeah,

22:00 Speaker 7: that's outstanding. You guys ever play there at Terminus.

22:03 Speaker 8: So I have been talking to actually another shout out

22:07 Speaker 8: my good friend sim So she just started, uh, sim.

22:11 Speaker 13: Yeah, the very same Ye, your people know my feef.

22:14 Speaker 13: Oh yeah, that's a small scene.

22:16 Speaker 5: Yeah.

22:18 Speaker 8: So she reached out to me recently about potentially getting

22:22 Speaker 8: us booked there in twenty twenty five, and I am

22:24 Speaker 8: quite excited, yeah, because I my old old band actually

22:28 Speaker 8: used to practice there, no kidding, yeah band. So it

22:32 Speaker 8: was Putrid Lizards at the time, and then yeah, we

22:37 Speaker 8: went through several name changes.

22:39 Speaker 6: It was.

22:40 Speaker 8: It was certainly an interesting period of my life.

22:43 Speaker 9: Futrid Lizards strike me.

22:45 Speaker 7: Strikes me as a kind of name where you're probably

22:47 Speaker 7: pretty safe that somebody else isn't gonna, you know, come

22:49 Speaker 7: after you.

22:49 Speaker 9: And say hey we we already have that name.

22:51 Speaker 7: We're gonna right am I right?

22:53 Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, correct correct a Mundo.

22:58 Speaker 7: Oh that's awesome, but no, that's cool recorded with Axel?

23:01 Speaker 7: And then so now why an EP? I'm always curious

23:04 Speaker 7: about this because again, we live in a time where

23:06 Speaker 7: you have so many different options.

23:07 Speaker 9: You can do an EP, you can do an album,

23:09 Speaker 9: you can just release singles.

23:10 Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot of the guests that we talked to

23:13 Speaker 7: lately they released a bunch of singles that eventually become

23:16 Speaker 7: an album, you know, instead of doing it the old

23:18 Speaker 7: way where they release an album and put out singles.

23:20 Speaker 9: But why did you guys decide to do an EP?

23:22 Speaker 7: What went into that decision?

23:24 Speaker 8: We had the opportunity, So it actually kind of started

23:27 Speaker 8: when Axel hit me up because he was saying, you

23:31 Speaker 8: wanted to record us. So we finally hashed out a

23:35 Speaker 8: day to start recording, and we thought, okay, well, we

23:38 Speaker 8: have like seven songs that we want to get recorded

23:43 Speaker 8: now that we have Dane, and we also were deciding

23:46 Speaker 8: what do we want to rehash from Voluntary Suffering that's

23:49 Speaker 8: our album okay that we recorded prior and we didn't

23:54 Speaker 8: necessarily want to rehash anything. So we went forth to

23:59 Speaker 8: start recording those six seven songs. It was seven, but

24:01 Speaker 8: one of them we scrapped for now, but uh, we

24:06 Speaker 8: just we recorded them and felt like this is exactly it,

24:11 Speaker 8: Like this is how it should be. We shouldn't add more,

24:13 Speaker 8: we shouldn't redact anything like it just it kind of

24:16 Speaker 8: all collectively felt right.

24:18 Speaker 10: It sounds how Folly should sound exactly.

24:20 Speaker 5: And it's like you need to know.

24:25 Speaker 8: How much to how much to pour into something. You

24:27 Speaker 8: don't want to overpour and overfill the cup, you know.

24:30 Speaker 9: Yeah, so yeah that makes sense.

24:32 Speaker 5: Yeah, that makes sense.

24:33 Speaker 9: Actually, it's kind of nice right when it when it's.

24:35 Speaker 7: Sort of organic, when the exactly when the answer just

24:37 Speaker 7: presents itself, it's like this feels right, this sounds.

24:39 Speaker 5: Right, yeah exactly.

24:41 Speaker 12: It should be fun, and you don't want to get

24:43 Speaker 12: to a point where like you're agonizing over every silly

24:45 Speaker 12: little thing that's going on in the recording thing too.

24:47 Speaker 12: I mean, you know, we we we want to rock

24:49 Speaker 12: out and want to sound good, but we're not like,

24:51 Speaker 12: you know, going to lose our minds.

24:53 Speaker 9: Over it, right right, Yeah, that makes that makes sense.

24:56 Speaker 11: I don't know what the difference between an EP and

24:58 Speaker 11: an LP and an album miss. So I'm glad Sean

25:01 Speaker 11: answered that question.

25:03 Speaker 10: I don't know if he really answered it.

25:04 Speaker 8: I M dude, I think it's I think it's very subjective,

25:09 Speaker 8: like because you know, especially in punk rock, you have

25:14 Speaker 8: like nine minute long songs, right, So is the standard

25:18 Speaker 8: set on the track the amount of tracks, or is

25:20 Speaker 8: it set on the length in terms of you.

25:23 Speaker 10: Know, I never thought of it getting to something else

25:26 Speaker 10: that's gonna come.

25:26 Speaker 8: Out because you can have like you have these crazy

25:30 Speaker 8: Norwegian black metal bands that have songs that are like

25:33 Speaker 8: thirteen minutes long and they have three songs and they're like,

25:38 Speaker 8: I'm not gonna do death.

25:41 Speaker 5: Just to picture it. But it's like this is an album, like.

25:44 Speaker 7: Right, it's three songs, like, but if it's an hour long,

25:48 Speaker 7: it's hard to argue with exactly.

25:49 Speaker 5: That's what I mean.

25:51 Speaker 10: Like AFI has an EP and it only has four

25:54 Speaker 10: songs on it, but it also I.

25:56 Speaker 8: Feel like that's typically what you find on an EP

25:59 Speaker 8: is like anywhere from one to like seven songs, and

26:04 Speaker 8: then there's that weird like limbo seven to nine songs

26:07 Speaker 8: where it's like, yeah, you're you're curious of what you are,

26:11 Speaker 8: I suppose and then you have anything past that hours

26:15 Speaker 8: like that's an album. But we could be funny and

26:17 Speaker 8: do like a twenty six song EP.

26:20 Speaker 5: We have it in us.

26:21 Speaker 12: We could definitely definitely have it now that we know

26:24 Speaker 12: and then you know the recording process and all that

26:26 Speaker 12: sort of thing. I feel like that's possible if we

26:28 Speaker 12: wanted to do like, you know, a thirteen fourteen song

26:31 Speaker 12: thing and have it be anything legit.

26:33 Speaker 11: Yeah, twenty six songs single, yeah.

26:36 Speaker 10: Yeah, double album.

26:37 Speaker 8: We're never putting out We're never putting out another album.

26:40 Speaker 8: We're just gonna put out EPs.

26:44 Speaker 7: Do you got how many songs do you guys have?

26:45 Speaker 6: It?

26:45 Speaker 7: Sounds like you guys have a lot of songs, right.

26:48 Speaker 10: Geez, I don't know. I never really thought about it.

26:50 Speaker 5: Maybe roughly be in the twenties, Yes, we're in the twenties.

26:55 Speaker 8: Like, and that's involving like the half written ones, the

27:01 Speaker 8: ones that we've played though in progress.

27:03 Speaker 10: Yeah, stuff like that.

27:04 Speaker 7: Yeah.

27:04 Speaker 11: Yeah, covers of band z ownes ever heard, so we

27:07 Speaker 11: just call our song.

27:09 Speaker 5: Yeah, we uh, that was a good thing about doing.

27:12 Speaker 8: Yeah, we're like we need we need to learn covers

27:15 Speaker 8: so that when where it shows people will at least

27:19 Speaker 8: recognize something that was our logic behind it. And then

27:22 Speaker 8: we're like, let's cover the like lowercase B sides from

27:26 Speaker 8: every band, right, like the Four of Us. Yeah, I mean, well,

27:31 Speaker 8: people know Nirvana, but they don't know Tourett's by Nirvana

27:34 Speaker 8: because we cover that.

27:36 Speaker 5: Yeah.

27:36 Speaker 12: When when I first got in the band, I thought

27:38 Speaker 12: Floyd the Barber was a song that they wrote Yeirvana.

27:43 Speaker 12: I was like, wow, you guys have great songs, and

27:45 Speaker 12: they're like, banks, we didn't write it.

27:48 Speaker 7: That's awesome. I was in a band that we did

27:51 Speaker 7: a Kiss cover called Hate, and like only the most

27:54 Speaker 7: diehard Kiss fan would know about that song from their

27:58 Speaker 7: most obscure.

27:58 Speaker 11: Album sound like a Kiss.

28:01 Speaker 7: It doesn't, Yeah, and and but we would play it,

28:04 Speaker 7: and you know, we never told anybody, you know, and

28:07 Speaker 7: nobody nobody knew, Like nobody nobody ever came up to

28:10 Speaker 7: us and said, wow, I can't believe you're covering that's

28:12 Speaker 7: like the most obscurre Kiss song ever, Like literally nobody

28:14 Speaker 7: ever said.

28:14 Speaker 6: It to us.

28:15 Speaker 7: Yeah, and we just we just put it in the

28:17 Speaker 7: set because we liked it. Yeah, It's funny how that

28:21 Speaker 7: that can work out. What do you like, what do

28:23 Speaker 7: you guys do for covers?

28:25 Speaker 5: So we got.

28:30 Speaker 11: It's Nirvana.

28:31 Speaker 8: Yeah, we we have Tourette's by Nirvana, Floyd the Barber

28:36 Speaker 8: by Nirvana. We do Molly's Lips, which is a cover

28:40 Speaker 8: of the Vasilines that Nirvana did.

28:43 Speaker 10: Oh that's a double cover.

28:45 Speaker 5: Yeah, we were working. Oh, paper Planes by m I

28:50 Speaker 5: A Kid. Yeah, yeah, that one.

28:52 Speaker 7: That's kind of cool.

28:53 Speaker 5: It's a goofy one that we do.

28:55 Speaker 10: It's a favor.

28:57 Speaker 7: What do you do about the gunfire? Does everybody clap their.

28:59 Speaker 5: Hands or something? So I'm glad you know the song?

29:02 Speaker 8: So for the gunfire, Jonah just hits the snare and

29:05 Speaker 8: I do like weird little wootily woos with my voice.

29:09 Speaker 9: Yeah.

29:10 Speaker 12: So yeah, we thought we thought about though, if we'd

29:12 Speaker 12: were to record that cover, we'd actually use real guns,

29:14 Speaker 12: right right?

29:15 Speaker 7: Well, yeah you want to.

29:17 Speaker 9: I mean that's like the punk rock Yeah, exactly, keep

29:19 Speaker 9: it real, you know.

29:20 Speaker 8: So I saw I saw one of the funniest things

29:23 Speaker 8: I've seen. It was on YouTube and they did paper

29:26 Speaker 8: Planes by m I A. But if they used muskets,

29:30 Speaker 8: it's so funny.

29:31 Speaker 5: I have to see that. It's amazing.

29:34 Speaker 6: Man.

29:35 Speaker 8: There's one shot that's licked off and then it's like

29:38 Speaker 8: two minutes of them packing it really.

29:41 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is hilarious.

29:44 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's great, that's great.

29:47 Speaker 9: Whose idea was that to do?

29:48 Speaker 3: That was?

29:49 Speaker 8: Oh dude, I have no idea. It's someone on the

29:52 Speaker 8: internet graced us with its presence.

29:54 Speaker 5: Yeah.

29:55 Speaker 7: So that's awesome.

29:56 Speaker 5: That's awesome.

29:57 Speaker 7: Oh so where does the name come from?

29:58 Speaker 5: Uh?

30:00 Speaker 8: Yeah, so I was listening to a podcast about I

30:07 Speaker 8: think it was World War One and uh, because I

30:10 Speaker 8: just I listened to like random podcasts every day when

30:13 Speaker 8: it was working, and they were talking about the method

30:17 Speaker 8: of attack of Baley and Joan and I were jamming

30:20 Speaker 8: at the time, and I really that word just resonated

30:24 Speaker 8: with me and stuck in my head. So I told

30:25 Speaker 8: him I wanted to try to use that name, and

30:28 Speaker 8: he's like, I definitely dig it. We have to spell

30:31 Speaker 8: it differently, though, Okay, that's why it's spelled the way

30:34 Speaker 8: it is, and like we've gotten the funniest pronunciations. I'm

30:37 Speaker 8: glad you in the email you asked me like phonetically

30:40 Speaker 8: how to use that. Yeah, because most people call us

30:43 Speaker 8: Valie and I get it, that's what.

30:47 Speaker 5: Girls. Yeah, but I didn't know.

30:51 Speaker 9: Yeah, like I saw that, and I thought I was wondering,

30:54 Speaker 9: like is it the name of a place?

30:55 Speaker 3: You know?

30:56 Speaker 8: The only other thing I found online is some like

31:00 Speaker 8: Italian muffler man.

31:03 Speaker 10: Custom exhaust for your like it's from a Romeo or whatever.

31:08 Speaker 5: Yeah, so.

31:11 Speaker 7: Do people Yeah, you said people mispronounce it? Does anybody

31:14 Speaker 7: ever spell it wrong like on a poster or something?

31:16 Speaker 8: Or No, we haven't encountered that yet. So the main

31:20 Speaker 8: reason is most of the flyers I make, so I

31:24 Speaker 8: guess I lucked out with that, But the flyers that

31:27 Speaker 8: I didn't make, we haven't had it spelled incorrectly yet.

31:30 Speaker 5: That's good because there's more, there's.

31:33 Speaker 8: More communication that happens online and like with our Instagram

31:36 Speaker 8: right there.

31:37 Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's like I would hope you wouldn't spell

31:39 Speaker 5: it wrong.

31:40 Speaker 10: Man, five letters isn't too hard.

31:43 Speaker 8: Yeah, but if someone was like doing speech to text

31:46 Speaker 8: to just be like volley like a volleyball. We actually

31:49 Speaker 8: we were joking about for our merch making volley volleyballs.

31:55 Speaker 9: So that's a good idea. That's a good idea.

31:57 Speaker 10: I like that.

31:58 Speaker 7: Why not? Why not?

32:00 Speaker 5: Now?

32:01 Speaker 9: So Sean you write all the lyrics I do?

32:03 Speaker 5: Yes?

32:03 Speaker 9: Is there like a theme or does it vary?

32:06 Speaker 5: It varies.

32:07 Speaker 8: I kind of just write what I'm feeling. I don't

32:12 Speaker 8: necessarily fixate on a topic like I. I don't give

32:17 Speaker 8: myself a topic to write about. When I'm writing. I

32:20 Speaker 8: just I'll see like a word on the wall, or

32:24 Speaker 8: something in the newspaper or something on the TV, just

32:26 Speaker 8: one word and it just it lights a fire into

32:28 Speaker 8: my butt and I just start writing.

32:30 Speaker 7: Yeah.

32:30 Speaker 8: More often than not, I write the lyrics before we

32:34 Speaker 8: write the music, so to speak. But we'll have, for instance,

32:39 Speaker 8: Dane will start playing a riff and I'll be like,

32:42 Speaker 8: I'll either start writing something or in my giant folder

32:46 Speaker 8: of half written songs, I'm like, I think this will

32:49 Speaker 8: fit perfectly. Yeah, And I have way too because I

32:53 Speaker 8: have massive ADHD so like I literally have like a

32:56 Speaker 8: thousand notes in my.

33:00 Speaker 5: Like lyric folder.

33:01 Speaker 10: I've seen him scroll through.

33:03 Speaker 8: He is, you know, but we like typically it's more

33:10 Speaker 8: I suppose there's a darker vibe to our songs and whatnot.

33:15 Speaker 8: I wouldn't necessarily call myself a missanthrope, but I would

33:19 Speaker 8: say they're a little misanthropic. But it's it's very cathartic

33:25 Speaker 8: for me to write lyrics and then yell those lyrics

33:29 Speaker 8: with my best friends, no doubt. Yeah, it's like there

33:32 Speaker 8: are bad things that are happening in the world, but

33:34 Speaker 8: we're having a ball. However, I'm cognitive of the fact

33:38 Speaker 8: that there's bad things going on, so maybe I'll tell

33:40 Speaker 8: some people.

33:41 Speaker 11: He stole the chorus of fTPM from me?

33:44 Speaker 5: Yes, I did.

33:45 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, Jonah, that's my only contribution.

33:51 Speaker 5: There's only lyrical contribution.

33:53 Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, okay. I'm curious about the ADHD does that,

33:58 Speaker 7: and there's specific reason I'm asking. But does that help you, Like,

34:02 Speaker 7: do you feel that that that helps you in terms

34:05 Speaker 7: of writing and creativity? Is it a is it an

34:08 Speaker 7: advantage somehow? A?

34:10 Speaker 5: Yes and no.

34:12 Speaker 8: It's like a it's a very black and white yes

34:15 Speaker 8: and no. It's either it depends on like there's so

34:19 Speaker 8: many factors like what I ate during the day, how

34:22 Speaker 8: my mood is going and whatnot. But I like I'm

34:26 Speaker 8: either a hurricane of just starting things and not finishing them,

34:32 Speaker 8: like back to back to back, I'll start sweeping the

34:35 Speaker 8: floor and then get distracted and do something else, or

34:39 Speaker 8: I like hyper fixate on it, I lock in on

34:42 Speaker 8: it and just.

34:44 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's more often than not it. Uh, it throws

34:48 Speaker 5: a stick in the spokes.

34:49 Speaker 7: Okay.

34:50 Speaker 9: The reason I was curious is, I don't know if

34:52 Speaker 9: you know doctor Kevin ross Emory.

34:53 Speaker 5: He's I don't think so.

34:54 Speaker 7: He's from Nashua, and I've done a lot of work

34:57 Speaker 7: with him over the years. I'm on his podcast sometimes

34:59 Speaker 7: and he's been on the show a lot, and I

35:01 Speaker 7: know him really well. But he he's done a lot

35:03 Speaker 7: of work in the area of a d D and

35:04 Speaker 7: ADHD and he's written he's written some books. One of

35:07 Speaker 7: the books is called Managing the Gift, and in it

35:10 Speaker 7: he talks about how it can actually be an advantage

35:13 Speaker 7: if you play it right, and and how you know,

35:17 Speaker 7: a lot of creative people you know have ADHD and

35:20 Speaker 7: a lot of very successful entrepreneurs you know, and there's

35:23 Speaker 7: a spectrum and so forth. But but yeah, he talks

35:27 Speaker 7: about how a lot of musicians you know, that it

35:29 Speaker 7: can again if you if you use it to your advantage,

35:32 Speaker 7: you can it can help you with your creativity and

35:35 Speaker 7: coming up with concepts and then expanding on them.

35:37 Speaker 8: And I think if anything musically that it's helped with,

35:41 Speaker 8: it's playing the drums really, because I am always tapping

35:45 Speaker 8: on stuff like NonStop ever since I was a little kid.

35:48 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm gonna say I'm not a drummer. I'm a

35:49 Speaker 9: bass player, but I constantly.

35:51 Speaker 5: Tell yeah, I uh.

35:53 Speaker 8: When I first started playing drums, that's how I would

35:55 Speaker 8: like write most of my drumming and learn and practice

35:58 Speaker 8: was like in lass. I would be stopping my foot,

36:01 Speaker 8: tapping my right hand, tapping my left hand, and visualizing

36:05 Speaker 8: the kit, which did not help it. It almost made

36:08 Speaker 8: it more enticing to tap on everything. And my classmates

36:12 Speaker 8: weren't too stoked on that, as you can imagine.

36:14 Speaker 10: I bet your teachers loved you.

36:16 Speaker 5: No, they hated me, dude.

36:19 Speaker 7: Oh wow, that's too bad because you were you know,

36:23 Speaker 7: because they should have been. It'd be nice if they

36:25 Speaker 7: were supportive. But teachers don't always know what.

36:28 Speaker 10: I had a tough time in school too, well, for sure.

36:31 Speaker 12: Yeah I was always getting in trouble and being a

36:33 Speaker 12: menace and yeah, you know, but it's all how you

36:39 Speaker 12: turn out in the en, I suppose.

36:40 Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly exactly.

36:41 Speaker 7: How how about you?

36:44 Speaker 11: I got good grades when I didn't know anyone.

36:47 Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you mean?

36:51 Speaker 11: I just ran cross country and track and did my

36:53 Speaker 11: homework because I didn't know anyone when I moved to

36:56 Speaker 11: Florida for high school. Oh okay, but then once I

37:00 Speaker 11: decided that I had other things on to tape it off.

37:04 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense.

37:09 Speaker 7: We should uh oh Jesus already eleven thirties. Let's uh,

37:12 Speaker 7: let's play another track. Oh, by the way, so what's

37:14 Speaker 7: before we do that?

37:15 Speaker 5: Though?

37:15 Speaker 9: So what is what is calling season about?

37:17 Speaker 7: Because the lyrics are really interesting and that that that's

37:20 Speaker 7: part of why I was asking too about uh, you know,

37:23 Speaker 7: is there a theme to your your your lyrics?

37:26 Speaker 5: Oh? Well, that one is about.

37:30 Speaker 8: Killing and eating the rich, the top one percent, like

37:34 Speaker 8: the folks that are so rich you have no idea

37:37 Speaker 8: who they.

37:37 Speaker 7: Are, right, I approve, Yeah, I literally doing yes, yes, yeah,

37:43 Speaker 7: I approve of the.

37:44 Speaker 8: Car Yeah yeah in Minecraft, in Minecraft, No, it's it's metaphorical.

37:51 Speaker 8: I'm not I'm not, of course saying like, hey, go

37:53 Speaker 8: do this dog, but uh, it's it's just it's what

37:59 Speaker 8: I am agine the collective messages that the general populace

38:04 Speaker 8: feels about the struggle that we're all going through right now,

38:09 Speaker 8: to some degree, because there's different facets of struggling financially.

38:12 Speaker 8: But yeah, you know the fact that you have someone

38:16 Speaker 8: like Jeff Bezos or Bezos however you pronounce his name,

38:20 Speaker 8: that make my yearly salary in a minute, Like, I

38:25 Speaker 8: feel like you have enough, buddy, Right, I'm all for

38:30 Speaker 8: folks winning the metal, but.

38:34 Speaker 5: Come on, you know what I mean.

38:36 Speaker 7: And and that concentration of wealth, it becomes more and

38:40 Speaker 7: more concentrated all the time. Yes, exactly, Fewer and fewer

38:43 Speaker 7: people control more and more of the wealth.

38:46 Speaker 5: Exactly.

38:46 Speaker 11: Are you registered to vote, Sean?

38:49 Speaker 9: No, you should, Yes, I am.

38:55 Speaker 5: I actually voted for Dane.

38:57 Speaker 7: Oh that's nice, you wrote, Amy.

38:59 Speaker 5: It would have been nicer if he won.

39:00 Speaker 10: I don't remember what I what I was running for.

39:02 Speaker 9: I was gonna say, were you on the ballot or

39:04 Speaker 9: was it around now?

39:05 Speaker 5: I put him on the ballot.

39:06 Speaker 7: Oh very good.

39:06 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's very.

39:07 Speaker 10: Sweet of you.

39:09 Speaker 9: There's something very that's very new Hampshire.

39:11 Speaker 5: Yeah, I do that.

39:12 Speaker 10: That's a very nice I think Cody ran for sheriff.

39:15 Speaker 11: I want to say I voted for Cody for sheriff too.

39:18 Speaker 10: I quoted for Cody.

39:19 Speaker 5: Oh, very nice.

39:21 Speaker 10: Would I think he'd make a great sheriff?

39:24 Speaker 8: So he said, he said, if he became the sheriff,

39:29 Speaker 8: he would make everybody in the entire state deputy.

39:33 Speaker 9: Okay, I mean that's a lot of responsibility.

39:36 Speaker 7: I don't know if i'd want.

39:36 Speaker 5: To be well tough luck buddy, you're a deputy.

39:39 Speaker 12: It'd be cool to have the badatory deputy service.

39:43 Speaker 8: It'd be hilarious if everybody in an entire state was

39:46 Speaker 8: a deputy.

39:48 Speaker 10: Watch out Massachusetts.

39:51 Speaker 9: I feel like that would not be very New Hampshire.

39:53 Speaker 9: That would be more like, uh, Utah or something.

39:56 Speaker 5: Yeah, I could see that where you just deputize everybody.

39:59 Speaker 11: Yeah, everybody's a wife in Utah.

40:03 Speaker 10: Yes, more wifes per capita.

40:09 Speaker 5: There you go.

40:10 Speaker 7: That might be a lyrical idea. You could do something

40:13 Speaker 7: with that. Well, let's let's play this track Static. Anything

40:16 Speaker 7: we should know about this before we play it.

40:18 Speaker 8: Uh, If you come to see us when we're playing

42:30 Speaker 8: And I'm a robot. My voice sounds like a flanger

42:32 Speaker 8: right now. But Axel is assuring me that I'm not

42:35 Speaker 8: going to sound like a robot. I will, in fact

42:36 Speaker 8: sound like a human being, because I am a human

42:38 Speaker 8: being that is not, in fact a robot.

42:41 Speaker 10: It's true, he is not a robot.

42:45 Speaker 5: Thank you for leaving that in, Axel, I love you.

42:49 Speaker 10: Oh yeah, you can turn it off.

42:53 Speaker 9: That's all right, we got this far.

42:55 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.

42:57 Speaker 7: I totally forgot that there was something else there that.

43:00 Speaker 5: Makes two of us.

43:02 Speaker 10: Well, at least it was radio friendly.

43:04 Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely, we have to do that to make the

43:08 Speaker 11: song two minutes.

43:09 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's right.

43:12 Speaker 7: That's smart.

43:13 Speaker 3: No.

43:13 Speaker 7: I when I listened to it, I was like, I

43:15 Speaker 7: got to remember this something at the end, and then

43:16 Speaker 7: of course I forgot, but uh no. I like that

43:19 Speaker 7: track though. It's very very catchy, thank you, And I

43:21 Speaker 7: like the do you want to tell you? You were

43:23 Speaker 7: telling off air?

43:23 Speaker 5: Do you want to Yeah, what you were talking about? Yeah?

43:27 Speaker 8: So I wrote that on guitar like four years ago,

43:32 Speaker 8: give your take. And this was when I was playing

43:34 Speaker 8: guitar a lot. I I broke my wrist a few

43:41 Speaker 8: years later, like once Volley started really picking up.

43:44 Speaker 5: I broke. I'm so sorry.

43:46 Speaker 9: That's all right, we're on it. We're on a delay.

43:48 Speaker 7: I caught it.

43:49 Speaker 9: We're on an eight second delay. So when the when

43:52 Speaker 9: the naughty.

43:52 Speaker 11: Punk rocker, Yeah, you want to say something bad?

43:59 Speaker 3: No.

44:00 Speaker 8: So I broke my wrist and I was unable to

44:03 Speaker 8: play that song anymore because there's a solo part that

44:07 Speaker 8: it's very difficult to do, and we kept trying and

44:12 Speaker 8: trying and trying. So at one point we were just

44:16 Speaker 8: playing the last two measures of it. After it does

44:20 Speaker 8: the little solo we part, and we wound up messing

44:25 Speaker 8: around at practice and I was yelling along to what

44:28 Speaker 8: the solo would have been that I was doing and

44:31 Speaker 8: to do that just so we could keep time. I

44:33 Speaker 8: was going but that, and when we recorded it, I

44:39 Speaker 8: was doing that in the background and Axel said that

44:42 Speaker 8: sounds pretty sick. Next practice, I texted them, I'm like,

44:46 Speaker 8: we need to at least try this, like, hear me out,

44:48 Speaker 8: let's try it.

44:49 Speaker 5: And we didn't.

44:50 Speaker 8: We all just looked at each other and we're like, oh,

44:52 Speaker 8: that's it. So now we have that part where we

44:55 Speaker 8: all yelled the solo instead, and it's just it gives

45:00 Speaker 8: me like such a great feeling every time I hear it,

45:04 Speaker 8: because yeah, what we want is we want people to

45:07 Speaker 8: hear it and yell along with us, right, because we're

45:09 Speaker 8: all we're all in it together to have fun, right, right.

45:12 Speaker 12: Yeah, play live at a show, it's definitely easy for

45:14 Speaker 12: the audience to like chime in on that and yeah,

45:16 Speaker 12: the whole place, you know, you know, yelling it.

45:18 Speaker 9: Yeah, No, that's very cool. That's very cool. Are you

45:22 Speaker 9: guys playing out a lot?

45:24 Speaker 5: We have been playing more and more.

45:47 Speaker 8: been playing out quite a bit.

45:50 Speaker 12: This will be our second trip to O'Brien's. We just

45:52 Speaker 12: played with Already Dead and Dave Strong a couple.

45:54 Speaker 5: Of weeks ago.

46:13 Speaker 8: like thirty minutes.

46:14 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is great.

46:15 Speaker 7: Yeah, and there they have some pretty good, pretty sophisticated

46:20 Speaker 7: themes to their Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, no, I love I

46:26 Speaker 7: any is there anybody in the scene you kind of

46:30 Speaker 7: of team up with. Are there any other bands that

46:32 Speaker 7: you play a lot of shows?

46:33 Speaker 8: It's so street trash there. There are buddies. We play

46:36 Speaker 8: with them pretty frequently. A lot of the shows that

46:38 Speaker 8: we've played have been with them, from either of them

46:40 Speaker 8: reaching out to us with an opportunity or us reaching

46:43 Speaker 8: out to them and saying like, hey, we want to

46:44 Speaker 8: play with you guys again. Yeah, And every time we

46:46 Speaker 8: play together, it's just it's so much fun. It it

46:49 Speaker 8: feels very organic, like because we basically just laugh the

46:52 Speaker 8: entire time. Yeah, and we're not playing music, we're messing

46:55 Speaker 8: with each other.

46:55 Speaker 6: Yeah.

46:55 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's cool.

51:02 Speaker 10: to Drew.

51:03 Speaker 5: I love you.

51:04 Speaker 9: Why is Uh? I've heard of it, but I've never

51:07 Speaker 9: been there.

51:07 Speaker 7: What's special about Union Coffee?

51:09 Speaker 8: So it's a tiny little coffee shop that you would

51:13 Speaker 8: not expect an absolute hurricane of a punk show to happen.

51:17 Speaker 5: It happened at Yeah.

51:20 Speaker 8: So last time we played there, it was too cold

51:22 Speaker 8: to play outside, so we played inside or it was

51:24 Speaker 8: rainy something like that. But it was pretty cramped in

51:29 Speaker 8: there and it was just chaos. Street Trash actually brought

51:33 Speaker 8: this big inflatable pill that they threw up into the

51:37 Speaker 8: crowd and that people were smacking it around and it

51:39 Speaker 8: wound up hitting one of the beer taps and beer

51:41 Speaker 8: was spring everywhere.

51:43 Speaker 5: Well, they were playing and.

51:43 Speaker 8: It was like, that's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Yeah,

51:49 Speaker 8: it was an absolute madhouse. And prior to that we

51:52 Speaker 8: played outside and it was just so much fun because

51:57 Speaker 8: that was the first show in a long while where

51:59 Speaker 8: I got to just do vocals.

52:01 Speaker 5: And when I can just do vocals, I run around

52:04 Speaker 5: like a madman. Yeah, just like act like a crazy person.

52:07 Speaker 7: So yeah, oh that's cool. So the owners there were

52:12 Speaker 7: cool about the beer tap.

52:13 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't think anybody really notified.

52:17 Speaker 12: I don't think any other venue in town because there's

52:19 Speaker 12: a few you know restaurants stuff where they have you know,

52:21 Speaker 12: local bands that do cover songs and stuff like that,

52:25 Speaker 12: and I don't think anyone else.

52:26 Speaker 10: Would let them get away with that in that place,

52:29 Speaker 10: you know.

52:30 Speaker 5: Yeah, so.

52:32 Speaker 10: Having as much fun though, Yeah.

52:34 Speaker 8: The shasking in Manchester is sick. Yeah, yeah, I'm not

52:42 Speaker 8: certain of too many other places. I know there are

52:45 Speaker 8: other venues in Manchester, the Jewel. The Jewel I'm talking

52:49 Speaker 8: about more like our type of venues what you do. Yeah, yeah,

52:53 Speaker 8: the places where you go to the bathroom and the

52:56 Speaker 8: stall door was ripped off.

52:58 Speaker 5: That's where our music.

53:00 Speaker 10: There may or may not be a volley sticker in

53:02 Speaker 10: the urinal.

53:03 Speaker 5: I don't know who put that there.

53:05 Speaker 7: Oh, my goodness. Well, yeah, so the EPs in January

53:11 Speaker 7: and then are you guys already working on new stuff

53:14 Speaker 7: for the next one or.

53:15 Speaker 8: We have actually several other songs that are like half written, oh,

53:22 Speaker 8: that that have music behind them too, And we're always,

53:26 Speaker 8: you know, messing around of practice. So we just got

53:30 Speaker 8: done building our new practice space. Ah, so we were

53:34 Speaker 8: pretty occupied with that. But now that we're all moved in,

53:37 Speaker 8: it's like our little clubhouse. We're working on soundproofing because

53:41 Speaker 8: it's loud in there. Yeah, of course, but yeah, we

53:46 Speaker 8: have been playing more frequently too, so we haven't had

53:49 Speaker 8: much time to have just a relaxing practice. It's like,

53:54 Speaker 8: we have a show Friday, we need to we need

53:56 Speaker 8: to stop goofing off, right, which we still goof off

54:00 Speaker 8: during that time.

54:01 Speaker 9: But when do you guys wear us a couple of

54:02 Speaker 9: times a week or so?

54:04 Speaker 8: We do once a week. Uh, it's it changes. So

54:09 Speaker 8: we were doing every Monday, now we do every Wednesday.

54:11 Speaker 8: Not that people are like concerned with what day of

54:15 Speaker 8: the week unless they're trying to kill us.

54:18 Speaker 12: I suppose we had a show and then now it's

54:20 Speaker 12: been the holidays and you know, a little little disbanded

54:24 Speaker 12: a couple of weeks.

54:24 Speaker 8: Yeah, so you have Thanksgiving, then you have like what

54:28 Speaker 8: three or four weeks until Christmas, So that entire chunk

54:32 Speaker 8: The past two months of my life have just been carpentry. Yeah, carpentry, uh, sleeping, occasionally,

54:39 Speaker 8: recording music, and taking care of my kiddo.

54:42 Speaker 7: Yeah.

54:42 Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, yeah.

54:44 Speaker 7: Sometimes it can be a relief when the holidays are

54:46 Speaker 7: over and it's like, okay, I can get back. Dude.

54:48 Speaker 8: December December twenty sixth is my favorite day.

54:55 Speaker 7: I was like that when I worked in retail. Oh man,

54:58 Speaker 7: December twenty sex could not come so enough I worked.

55:02 Speaker 8: I worked in retail too, and Black Friday was just

55:07 Speaker 8: an absolute nightmare. It's been probably about eight or nine

55:10 Speaker 8: years since I worked in retail, but brother, if Black

55:13 Speaker 8: Friday is a nightmare.

55:14 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah. Well, when I worked for Fye, because you know,

55:18 Speaker 7: Strawberries had been bought by Fye, and that's a chain

55:23 Speaker 7: of stores that just won't die. Every time it looks

55:25 Speaker 7: like they're done, they open a new location somewhere and

55:28 Speaker 7: they survived. But over the course of the span of

55:31 Speaker 7: the years that I worked there, like Black Friday was

55:33 Speaker 7: so just monstrously busy, but by the time I left.

55:37 Speaker 7: I left that company in twenty thirteen, and by that

55:41 Speaker 7: point Black Friday would be so busy at the beginning

55:44 Speaker 7: of the day, and then by the time we would

55:47 Speaker 7: get to the afternoon, you know, because online shopping is

55:51 Speaker 7: so big now, it would be just like kind of

55:53 Speaker 7: a normal day. It really changed over the years, and

55:58 Speaker 7: I found that I didn't mind it as because it

56:00 Speaker 7: was like not so overwhelming. Like when I first started there,

56:03 Speaker 7: it would be like Black Friday was super busy, and

56:05 Speaker 7: then every day it was super busy right up to Christmas,

56:08 Speaker 7: and then by the time I left there, it was

56:10 Speaker 7: like Black Friday was kind of busy, and then the

56:12 Speaker 7: rest of the time would be just kind of normal. Yeah,

56:15 Speaker 7: and then you'd be wondering, are they going to close

56:17 Speaker 7: this location in January, which often turned out to be the.

56:19 Speaker 5: Case, but it becomes a spirit Halloween pretty quick.

56:23 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely so. Guys, where should people

56:28 Speaker 7: go online to keep up with everything that you're doing?

56:30 Speaker 9: Where's the best place?

56:32 Speaker 8: So on Instagram it's at Bally six sixty six because

56:37 Speaker 8: we're super edgy. On Facebook dot com, that's www dot

56:45 Speaker 8: Facebook dot com. Uh, I feel to need to clarify, Oh, lord,

56:50 Speaker 8: uh so, I believe it. I believe it's also Bally

56:53 Speaker 8: six sixty six. We are on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music,

56:59 Speaker 8: all that stuff.

57:00 Speaker 5: Band Camp and band camp.

57:02 Speaker 8: Our favorite is when you go to our band camp

57:04 Speaker 8: because when you go to our band camp, we actually

57:07 Speaker 8: get a cut of some of the profit when you

57:11 Speaker 8: purchase our stuff instead of getting a fraction of a

57:14 Speaker 8: cent every thousand plays or something. Right, Not that we're

57:17 Speaker 8: in it for the money, but if there's money being made,

57:20 Speaker 8: I don't feel like ninety nine percent of it should

57:22 Speaker 8: be going to the streaming platform, you know what I mean.

57:25 Speaker 8: And band camp has band Camp Friday, so if you

57:27 Speaker 8: need to buy somebody a belated Christmas present, you should

57:30 Speaker 8: totally buy them something from our merch store.

57:33 Speaker 5: There you go, There you go.

57:35 Speaker 10: That's www dot bali, dot bandcamp, dot com.

57:41 Speaker 7: Did somebody tell you guys that that's my pet peeve?

57:44 Speaker 7: The Www?

57:46 Speaker 5: No?

57:46 Speaker 13: I know.

57:47 Speaker 5: That's awesome though it's a lot of people's pet peeves.

57:50 Speaker 5: That's why I did it, dude.

57:53 Speaker 7: I've been I've been upset about that for twenty years,

57:57 Speaker 7: like literally twenty years ago. I was going, why do

58:00 Speaker 7: I still hear radio ads where when they give the

58:03 Speaker 7: website they say w WLB.

58:04 Speaker 5: Why I could have said worldwide Web dot?

58:09 Speaker 10: That is that actually what that stands for?

58:11 Speaker 5: Worldwide Web? Yeah? Dog, yeah, okay, I heard. I had

58:15 Speaker 5: heard that.

58:16 Speaker 10: I just wasn't sure if someone was just trying to

58:17 Speaker 10: mess with me or now it sounds too perfect.

58:19 Speaker 2: I swear to you.

58:20 Speaker 9: Twenty years ago I was complaining about it, like.

58:23 Speaker 7: Why why do people still say that it's a rightful gripe.

58:26 Speaker 5: It's there's no need to say it.

58:28 Speaker 10: What about http slash slash you.

58:31 Speaker 5: Forgot the semi colon?

58:33 Speaker 7: Okay, I'll only say this publicly because I don't think

58:36 Speaker 7: he actually listens to the show. Doctor Kevin I mentioned earlier,

58:40 Speaker 7: Doctor Kevin ross Emery he had an ad once. It

58:43 Speaker 7: was it was just it was a an ad for

58:45 Speaker 7: his book. I think it was probably managing the gift

58:48 Speaker 7: and ad for his book. That it wasn't on the radio.

58:50 Speaker 7: It was only online.

58:51 Speaker 9: Yeah, but it was it was like it was produced

58:54 Speaker 9: like a radio ad. I swear to god.

58:56 Speaker 7: It actually said in the ad go to h T

59:00 Speaker 7: t oh no actually said that in the ad.

59:03 Speaker 5: That is hilarious, and.

59:06 Speaker 11: I just I was I never still talking about the

59:11 Speaker 11: ad today, so I think it was successful.

59:12 Speaker 7: Well that's true.

59:14 Speaker 10: Grandmother is going to actually type that in.

59:15 Speaker 8: So what you're going to do is you're going to

59:17 Speaker 8: turn on your personal computer.

59:22 Speaker 7: Yeah, I just uh, but the ad wasn't successful because

59:26 Speaker 7: I don't remember exactly what it was for.

59:29 Speaker 5: It was for doctor you just remember his flub. But yeah,

59:32 Speaker 5: I remember.

59:33 Speaker 7: Hearing him saying in the ad for more information, go

59:35 Speaker 7: to HTTP. I'm like, what is that happening.

59:38 Speaker 10: That's precious airtime you by saying all that exactly.

59:41 Speaker 7: Well, that's that's that's that's why, even because even today

59:44 Speaker 7: I hear it in radio ads, sure, and I'm baffled, like,

59:48 Speaker 7: why would you do that? Why would you waste that time?

59:51 Speaker 11: Anyway, I am wasted airtime.

59:56 Speaker 5: You know you're not.
