7:00 Speaker 7: pretty new. Oh okay, trying to get our music out there?

7:03 Speaker 11: Right right? How is that going in Portland? Because Portland's

7:09 Speaker 11: always had a pretty strong music scene, some good college

7:12 Speaker 11: stations there and whatnot?

7:13 Speaker 7: Ray Yeah actually oh yeah, southern central Maine. I think

7:17 Speaker 7: a really good live music see lots of good local bands. Yeah,

7:21 Speaker 7: always something going on.

7:23 Speaker 14: Yeah, kind of great bands.

7:24 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Are are there bands there that

7:28 Speaker 11: you you know sometimes it happens organically. Are there bands

7:31 Speaker 11: there that you've kind of unofficially sort of teamed up

7:33 Speaker 11: with that you play a lot of shows with or

7:35 Speaker 11: what do you think, Chris?

7:36 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, there there is a bunch of bands.

7:39 Speaker 7: It's a good sense of community. Yeah. Everyone I think

7:41 Speaker 7: kind of supports each other.

7:43 Speaker 11: So that's good.

7:43 Speaker 7: Yeah.

7:44 Speaker 11: Yeah, like like who, like who are some other bands there.

7:47 Speaker 15: That Loki Loki? Yeah, okay, we played with Loki quite

7:51 Speaker 15: a lot in a band called in the Wind.

7:53 Speaker 13: Okay, yeah, band called Echo Ritual, Echo Ritual Yeah, yeah, yeah,

7:58 Speaker 13: I mean it's a bunch. I mean you feel bad

8:00 Speaker 13: name it any because you leave a bunch of Yeah,

8:03 Speaker 13: there's so.

8:03 Speaker 7: Many, that's true.

8:04 Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm always interested in hearing about bands that we

8:06 Speaker 11: should that we should know about, not all of them. Yeah,

8:10 Speaker 11: now is wark right now? Do you have a full

8:12 Speaker 11: album out or an EP? Or have you just been

8:14 Speaker 11: releasing singles thus far?

8:15 Speaker 7: There's so many different album is coming out? What the

8:18 Speaker 7: end of this month?

8:19 Speaker 11: Oh really? Oh okay, so coming right up.

8:21 Speaker 7: Yes, we're very excited to get that out. But yeah,

8:24 Speaker 7: war I will be one of the songs on there.

8:26 Speaker 11: Will this be the first release from Pulsifier as a

8:28 Speaker 11: as a full album? Yes, okay, okay, excellent, excellent. We're

8:33 Speaker 11: gonna play in a little bit, uh, the first single

8:37 Speaker 11: which this will be the world radio premiere for that.

8:39 Speaker 11: We're very excited. But now, what what went into deciding

8:43 Speaker 11: to record a full album? Because we live in a

8:46 Speaker 11: time where you have so many different options as far

8:48 Speaker 11: as how you release music. You know, the various guests

8:50 Speaker 11: that we talked to on the show, some some just

8:52 Speaker 11: do singles, some do EPs, some do albums, Some release

8:56 Speaker 11: a series of singles that eventually become an album, which

8:59 Speaker 11: is kind of the inverse of how it used to be.

9:01 Speaker 11: It used to be you know, you have an album

9:02 Speaker 11: and then you've got singles from that album. So what

9:04 Speaker 11: went into your decision as a band to say, let's

9:06 Speaker 11: let's do a full album.

9:07 Speaker 13: Well, the latter is kind of what we did. We

9:09 Speaker 13: started out doing singles, yeah, and then we were like, hey,

9:12 Speaker 13: we have enough to put together, let's let's do an

9:15 Speaker 13: actual physical copy that a lot of people ask for.

9:18 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And so you're actually going to do

9:20 Speaker 11: physical colleges.

9:21 Speaker 7: Yeah, people still ask for that. I was surprised too, Yeah,

9:23 Speaker 7: but everything, Oh yeah, people want that physical CD has

9:26 Speaker 7: the artwork and yeah. Yeah.

9:28 Speaker 11: I've kind of come to the conclusion that that's an

9:31 Speaker 11: American phenomenon. And the reason I say that is because

9:34 Speaker 11: we also, in fact the last segment in the second hour,

9:38 Speaker 11: we interviewed a band called Brides from the UK, and

9:41 Speaker 11: we talked to a lot of bands from overseas, and

9:43 Speaker 11: it seems like everybody, everybody that we talked to from Europe,

9:47 Speaker 11: they they're like, oh, CDs are dead. You know, we're

9:50 Speaker 11: just releasing everything digitally. Nobody wants CDs anymore. And here

9:54 Speaker 11: it's been such a especially I think in the last

9:57 Speaker 11: five years, maybe ten years, you know, there was a

10:00 Speaker 11: point where it seemed like CD's were dead here too.

10:03 Speaker 11: But then but then they've they've made a resurgence, and

10:05 Speaker 11: Vinyl of course had an even bigger resurgence.

10:07 Speaker 12: Say, yeah, yeah, the same idea.

10:10 Speaker 13: Yeah, that's why we're making sure that our artwork for

10:13 Speaker 13: the CD is interesting as well.

10:15 Speaker 12: Yeah, more visuals.

10:16 Speaker 11: Yeah okay, okay, good good, Yeah, because that's something I

10:20 Speaker 11: always left like when I was a kid. You know,

10:22 Speaker 11: you open a CD or an album and you have

10:25 Speaker 11: the lyrics and art, and if you're really a fan,

10:27 Speaker 11: you know, you'll go through and look at all the

10:28 Speaker 11: liner notes and you know you want to you want

10:31 Speaker 11: to know who their management company is, or who engineered

10:34 Speaker 11: the album or you know, if you really, if you

10:36 Speaker 11: really want.

10:36 Speaker 12: To geek out on it, you know, so, which I did.

10:40 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's great, that's great.

10:41 Speaker 12: Yeah. How many?

10:42 Speaker 11: So how many tracks on the album?

10:44 Speaker 7: I think this one has? Seven?

10:46 Speaker 14: Yeah? Seven?

10:46 Speaker 11: Seven? Okay, okay.

10:48 Speaker 7: Our songs are slightly longer than some, so yeah seven fit.

10:52 Speaker 11: Okay, okay, Like what's the do you know, offhand? Like,

10:55 Speaker 11: what's long the longest track on.

10:56 Speaker 14: The album six nineteen. It's a venomous thing.

10:59 Speaker 11: Venomous thing. Oh yes, So I I played that for

11:02 Speaker 11: for those listening live. I did play that in the

11:03 Speaker 11: first hour today to kind of give people a creepy

11:06 Speaker 11: for because that's my favorite of the of the four

11:08 Speaker 11: that you sent me.

11:09 Speaker 9: That was it?

11:11 Speaker 10: Yeah?

11:11 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, no, that's a great song. I love the

11:13 Speaker 11: vocals on that. Who so in studio? Who obviously you

11:18 Speaker 11: know you're the lead singer. Who else is doing the

11:20 Speaker 11: backing vocals on that? Is that all you? Or are

11:22 Speaker 11: there other members singing with you?

11:23 Speaker 7: They recorded it? Yeah, he had me go back and

11:26 Speaker 7: add the harmony.

11:27 Speaker 11: Yeah, it sounded really good. It sounded really good. Is

11:31 Speaker 11: that challenging at all? Harmonizing with yourself that way? I've

11:34 Speaker 11: heard some singers say that can be like it's when

11:36 Speaker 11: you're it's easy to harmonize with somebody else, but when

11:38 Speaker 11: it's your own voice that you're listening to, it's challenging

11:41 Speaker 11: to do this.

11:41 Speaker 7: It's really tricky to do it live. Also, well, yeah, so.

11:47 Speaker 11: What does happen live? Does everybody sing is it? Does

11:49 Speaker 11: it become a gang vocal thing or do you just

11:51 Speaker 11: use carry it yourself?

11:52 Speaker 7: Yeah?

11:52 Speaker 3: Live?

11:53 Speaker 7: Yeah, just do the main vocal part.

11:54 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, no, that's cool. So how did Pulsifier come together.

12:00 Speaker 11: You know, you mentioned a band that that used to

12:02 Speaker 11: be on Chris, But but how did how did the

12:04 Speaker 11: four of you because again, you know, Portland is such

12:06 Speaker 11: a great scene there. There's musicians everywhere, Like, how did

12:09 Speaker 11: the four of you coalesce to form this this unit?

12:12 Speaker 13: What was kind of the well I was, I was

12:14 Speaker 13: in a I was in a band called Signal to

12:15 Speaker 13: Noise for a while. I remember Signal to Noise still

12:18 Speaker 13: out there, they're still killing it.

12:19 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, okay, So so it was it was a

12:23 Speaker 12: deal where some of.

12:24 Speaker 13: My music wasn't being brought to the front. Yeah, and

12:29 Speaker 13: my ladies like I can write with songs, so any

12:32 Speaker 13: riffs that.

12:32 Speaker 7: They didn't use the opportunity to write.

12:35 Speaker 11: So so you had ideas, but you know, it kind

12:38 Speaker 11: of was it kind of a crowded situation where you've

12:40 Speaker 11: got you've got the people who write, and they don't

12:43 Speaker 11: kind of want to necessarily share that.

12:45 Speaker 12: That's right.

12:45 Speaker 13: Yeah, And and and so we would me and Mia

12:48 Speaker 13: would set by the campfire and would write these songs, and.

12:51 Speaker 12: Uh, and we were like what are we doing. We

12:54 Speaker 12: gotta we gotta do our own comes up.

12:56 Speaker 7: With these guitar riffs that I can just feel what

12:58 Speaker 7: he's feeling and inspire me. And I had been writing

13:01 Speaker 7: poetry and stuff previously, so I thought I can write

13:05 Speaker 7: words for this and.

13:06 Speaker 13: Yeah, okay, yeah, and then we we looked for a

13:09 Speaker 13: while to get the you get these guys to jump

13:13 Speaker 13: on with us, and you know, the right the right

13:15 Speaker 13: fit is super important.

13:17 Speaker 12: The chemistry has to be right.

13:18 Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, because I really I built this band from

13:22 Speaker 13: second one to be a band, to be on a bus,

13:25 Speaker 13: to be touring constantly, so you know, not only musicians,

13:29 Speaker 13: but the chemistry, the thing had to be right.

13:32 Speaker 7: Yeah, like a family. Yeah, because we're all living together.

13:35 Speaker 7: When we were on the bus, when we're on the road.

13:37 Speaker 11: So yeah, yeah, I think I had a phone conversation

13:43 Speaker 11: with you all once I don't know if you remember,

13:44 Speaker 11: and and you were about about about radio stuff and

13:49 Speaker 11: then and I think you were you were on your

13:51 Speaker 11: way to a show or something.

13:52 Speaker 7: I remember that again because we were on the bus.

13:54 Speaker 12: Yeah, speak ye, that's right.

13:57 Speaker 11: So how how far have you have you gone as

14:00 Speaker 11: far as story and like, where have you gone outside

14:02 Speaker 11: of outside of the area.

14:03 Speaker 12: Patrick can tell us that, Okay.

14:05 Speaker 15: Yeah, we've we've gone through the whole country, you know.

14:10 Speaker 15: Our first tour was with Annville last year. That was

14:14 Speaker 15: I believe, uh feb you were no, No, that was

14:16 Speaker 15: all that was summer. That was August last year. And yeah,

14:22 Speaker 15: to Texas and did Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, went

14:26 Speaker 15: up to Washington and then back across. We hit like

14:29 Speaker 15: Detroit and Chicago and stuff and Ohio and Cleveland. So

14:33 Speaker 15: we really did the entire perimeter of the country and

14:35 Speaker 15: some of the stuff in the middle too. Wow, twenty

14:37 Speaker 15: six shows. That was a good one.

14:39 Speaker 16: Yeah.

14:39 Speaker 15: And the second tour was out in kind of like

15:01 Speaker 11: That must have been fun.

15:03 Speaker 12: It's a blast, yeah.

15:04 Speaker 13: Yeah, and both those guys are legendary. Yeah, always in

15:08 Speaker 13: the one oh yeah, yeah, they treated us way better

15:11 Speaker 13: than they had.

15:13 Speaker 11: Ye oh.

15:19 Speaker 11: is going to be the first single from the album

15:22 Speaker 11: correct Barriers Within the.

15:25 Speaker 7: Yes, So, this song was inspired by a Roomy quote

15:31 Speaker 7: which says, your task is not to seek for love,

15:35 Speaker 7: but merely to seek and find all the barriers within

15:38 Speaker 7: yourself that you have built against it. Okay, the words

15:43 Speaker 7: to this song were inspired by that quote.

15:45 Speaker 11: Oh, excellent, excellent, all right, So we're gonna play this

15:47 Speaker 11: and again. This is the world radio premiere of this track.

15:51 Speaker 11: All right, all right, Barriers Within from Pulsifier.

22:15 Speaker 12: whole thing.

22:16 Speaker 11: Yeah, any videos, if if you, if you all made

22:19 Speaker 11: any videos for these for any of these songs, because

22:22 Speaker 11: because the music, I mean, there's there's an element of

22:24 Speaker 11: I don't know if theatricality is quite the word, but but.

22:28 Speaker 7: That's definitely a good word.

22:29 Speaker 11: It seems like it seems like these songs would would

22:32 Speaker 11: lend themselves to that.

22:33 Speaker 7: Definitely. I agree. Yeah, I like the theatrics.

22:36 Speaker 13: Yeah, everything kind of in order. We haven't quite got there.

22:39 Speaker 13: We have a lyric video for for a Venomous Thing,

22:43 Speaker 13: but we've down a full video yet.

22:48 Speaker 11: To do okay? Yeah, Okay, now that makes sense.

22:52 Speaker 15: It's kind of like a three step process where or

22:56 Speaker 15: we we've been advised to kind of do like a

22:58 Speaker 15: short teaser video as we're coming up to releasing the

23:04 Speaker 15: song before we release it, and then maybe a little later,

23:07 Speaker 15: do a lyric video for Barriers for the same song

23:10 Speaker 15: Barriers within Yeah, and then a little after that do

23:13 Speaker 15: the full music video.

23:15 Speaker 11: Okay, okay, and then what's what's the live show? Like,

23:18 Speaker 11: I mean, are there any I get I guess uh.

23:21 Speaker 12: Theatrics was you said?

23:23 Speaker 7: Yes, we definitely try to incorporate a lot of visual

23:27 Speaker 7: so there's something for people to watch.

23:29 Speaker 12: Get right up on that.

23:29 Speaker 7: Okay, can you hear me?

23:30 Speaker 10: Now?

23:31 Speaker 11: You can pull it closer to you if it's easier,

23:33 Speaker 11: that's fine too.

23:33 Speaker 12: Yeah.

23:33 Speaker 11: I just want to make sure we try.

23:34 Speaker 7: To incorporate a lot of visual so people can you know,

23:37 Speaker 7: it helps to tell the story, yeah, goes along with

23:40 Speaker 7: the lyrics. So yeah, there's definitely some props involved.

23:43 Speaker 11: Okay, okay, have you seen any videos of our live performances.

23:47 Speaker 12: No, we have a ton on YouTube.

23:49 Speaker 14: We have like two hundred videos on YouTube. Oh my god,

23:51 Speaker 14: you can see what we're all about.

23:53 Speaker 12: Oh, that's cool.

23:54 Speaker 7: And each song, each song has its own feel, each

23:56 Speaker 7: song tells its own story. Yeah, so there as props,

24:00 Speaker 7: there's visuals, there's stuff going on that that kind of

24:04 Speaker 7: recreate that and add to it, and we're hoping, yeah,

24:08 Speaker 7: that the audience will feel just immersed around it and

24:11 Speaker 7: a part of it.

24:12 Speaker 12: Yeah.

24:12 Speaker 13: A lot of these topics for these songs are not

24:16 Speaker 13: the norm, so it's it's it's nice to have the

24:19 Speaker 13: visuals to help explain you.

24:22 Speaker 7: So the horse Head with war cry, like there's a meeting.

24:25 Speaker 7: It's not just about the horse head. That song, you know,

24:30 Speaker 7: was inspired by researching Alexander the Great's war horse, uciphilis

24:35 Speaker 7: really Yeah, if you ever look up the story of bucyphilis.

24:40 Speaker 7: He was afraid of his own shadow, and Alexander the

24:42 Speaker 7: Great learned if you turn him away from his shadow,

24:46 Speaker 7: turn his head to the sun, he became this great warrior. Yeah,

24:50 Speaker 7: and we just thought, you know, we could all apply

24:52 Speaker 7: that to our lives. Turn away from your own darkness.

24:55 Speaker 11: And interesting look to the light.

24:57 Speaker 7: So yeah, there's different props that represent stuff like that.

25:01 Speaker 11: Okay, okay, that's cool. What are some of the other

25:04 Speaker 11: lyrical themes that show up in these songs?

25:07 Speaker 7: Well, for example, distracted Gaze, the props for that are chains. Yeah,

25:13 Speaker 7: that's the song about anyone who's ever struggled, or who

25:18 Speaker 7: has known someone who has struggled, breaking free from the

25:21 Speaker 7: chains of addiction, whatever that addiction may be.

25:24 Speaker 11: That's relatable for a lot of people.

25:25 Speaker 7: Yeah, we always hope that with our songs. Yeah, there'll

25:27 Speaker 7: be something somebody can relate to and we'll have lived

25:32 Speaker 7: through themselves.

25:33 Speaker 12: Yeah.

25:33 Speaker 11: Yeah, does it ever happen? Where does anyone ever approach

25:36 Speaker 11: you and say, hey, that that song.

25:38 Speaker 7: Really after some of our lives shows, people have come up,

25:41 Speaker 7: and that is actually the best feeling, the best feedback

25:45 Speaker 7: when someone comes up. Sometimes after Scars, I've had people

25:49 Speaker 7: come up and share their own very like private personal

25:53 Speaker 7: stories of what they have gone through too and how

25:56 Speaker 7: the music has helped them not to feel so alone.

26:01 Speaker 13: Distracted gaze as well. Yeah really, Yeah, she's had to

26:04 Speaker 13: like spend moments with people like like they won't really.

26:07 Speaker 7: They open up, but share these yeah, like personally and

26:10 Speaker 7: we kind of have that connection which is so special, which.

26:13 Speaker 12: Is what we're looking for.

26:14 Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, kept in touch. There's a few people, yeah,

26:19 Speaker 7: who want to keep in touch and we still talk through.

26:22 Speaker 11: Some things and oh that's excellent.

26:24 Speaker 12: Yeah yeah it's great. Yeah, yeah, very good, very good.

26:27 Speaker 11: Well we should play maybe we should play that one scars.

36:06 Speaker 11: That is glass Cage. The band is Pulsifier and that

36:10 Speaker 11: is gonna be on the upcoming album. And what's it

36:12 Speaker 11: called the end?

36:13 Speaker 7: Personas personas?

36:14 Speaker 11: Yes, I love it. That is that is really good.

36:17 Speaker 11: It's really good. Gets you move in, gets you move in.

36:20 Speaker 11: And we also heard Scars before that too, another great track.

36:24 Speaker 11: And uh, we got one more that we're gonna say

36:26 Speaker 11: for the end. But so we were talking off air

36:30 Speaker 11: while I was playing, and Chris, you were commenting and

36:32 Speaker 11: this is something I noticed. So I'm glad you reminded

36:34 Speaker 11: me because I wanted to ask about this. When you're

36:37 Speaker 11: when you're soloing, you know there's not a second guitar

36:40 Speaker 11: track underneath. That's right, and which is an interesting decision

36:44 Speaker 11: because that's that's not what a lot of bands do,

36:46 Speaker 11: although some bands do that. But but can can you explain, uh,

36:51 Speaker 11: because you were explaining it off air and this was

36:52 Speaker 11: interesting to me why you make that choice.

36:54 Speaker 13: Yeah, it just allows the uh, the fantastic bass plane

36:59 Speaker 13: of Patrick to show through where it should. Yeah, you know,

37:01 Speaker 13: we want to make sure that's heard, you know, not

37:03 Speaker 13: only in the in the soulos, but through the songs

37:06 Speaker 13: as well. Yeah, and we did two or three passes

37:09 Speaker 13: for some of these songs, like hey, can you turn

37:10 Speaker 13: up the base a little bit more on this recording? Yeah,

37:14 Speaker 13: we want to make sure that it's there, and we

37:15 Speaker 13: want to make sure it's kind of like it simulates

37:20 Speaker 13: live sound.

37:21 Speaker 3: Yeah.

37:22 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's what we sound like.

37:23 Speaker 11: As a bass player myself. I commend you for that

37:26 Speaker 11: because because we we bass players don't get the respect

37:28 Speaker 11: we deserve.

37:29 Speaker 14: Right, friends now we're friends now, Yes.

37:31 Speaker 12: Yes, Patrick gets it, don't you worry. No, that's good.

37:35 Speaker 11: That's good.

37:36 Speaker 12: And then so when you do is that is that

37:41 Speaker 12: the case with all those songs?

37:42 Speaker 7: Like do you use it?

37:44 Speaker 11: So you don't use the second guitar track on anything? No, wow, okay, interesting, Okay, No,

37:49 Speaker 11: that's cool. Yeah, No, I like that and it does. Yeah,

37:51 Speaker 11: it does. Let the whole rhythm section kind of come through,

37:55 Speaker 11: which was it Scars too. There's like, uh, there's a

37:58 Speaker 11: solo you do toward the end. Was the Scars or

38:00 Speaker 11: wasn't the one we played before that where it's like

38:02 Speaker 11: you kind of don't see it coming, like all of

38:04 Speaker 11: a sudden, you're playing and it's like, oh, I didn't

38:05 Speaker 11: expect a solo there.

38:07 Speaker 14: Yeah, those barriers, Yeah, well it might have been.

38:10 Speaker 11: It probably was. Yeah, Actually it feels like yeah, And

38:13 Speaker 11: I was like and I was like, oh, that's cool.

38:15 Speaker 11: Oh it must have been barriers because I hadn't heard

38:17 Speaker 11: that before now. Yeah, and so because the other ones

38:19 Speaker 11: I'd already listened to, and I was kind of like,

38:21 Speaker 11: oh but I like that. I like these, you know,

38:23 Speaker 11: it fits, but it's still kind of a surprise. It's like, oh,

38:25 Speaker 11: that solo kind of sneaks.

38:26 Speaker 12: Up on you.

38:27 Speaker 3: Yeah.

38:27 Speaker 13: That whole breakdown section is the part that Patrick had written. Okay,

38:31 Speaker 13: then I kind of played over the top of it. Yeah,

38:33 Speaker 13: you know, like, hey, what was that bass riff? Just

38:36 Speaker 13: play it on the guitar and play sol over it.

38:37 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that. Yeah.

38:41 Speaker 11: I'm kind of curious too about some of your influences

38:43 Speaker 11: as far as vocals, like who who did you listen

38:47 Speaker 11: to growing up? Or who do you listen to now?

38:48 Speaker 12: And who who?

38:50 Speaker 7: Kind of like so many but yeah, we were talking

38:52 Speaker 7: about that where we all came from different backgrounds before

38:55 Speaker 7: we all got together. I was actually from a theater

38:59 Speaker 7: background before teaming up with these guys, so musical theater

39:03 Speaker 7: and community theater stuff like that since I was a kid.

39:07 Speaker 11: Yeah, So is that is that how you learn to

39:10 Speaker 11: sing basically and the way that you do.

39:12 Speaker 7: I used to say, I'm not necessarily a singer. I'm

39:15 Speaker 7: an actress. I can act like I can sing, and

39:20 Speaker 7: you know, lots of karaoke nights. Yeah, And I would

39:23 Speaker 7: say what I lack and talent I make up for

39:26 Speaker 7: with enthusiasm.

39:28 Speaker 11: But you so you didn't have any vocal any formal

39:31 Speaker 11: training as far as working with a vocal coach or anything.

39:33 Speaker 7: Not formal training now, you know, just yeah just for fun, Yeah,

39:36 Speaker 7: singing along with the radio, karaoke nights stuff like that.

39:40 Speaker 18: Yeah.

39:40 Speaker 11: Is there anyone who kind of inspires you in terms

39:43 Speaker 11: of how they sing, Like I see. I hope this

39:46 Speaker 11: isn't too cliche, but I hear a little bit of

39:48 Speaker 11: Ann Wilson, all right, thank you?

39:50 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a huge compliment. Yep, she's amazing,

39:56 Speaker 7: Amy Lee with an essence love them yeah yeah, grew

40:02 Speaker 7: up yeah in the nineties with that, like that's a

40:04 Speaker 7: huge influence.

40:05 Speaker 11: Yeah.

40:06 Speaker 7: Alanis Morissette is such a good storyteller. Yes, yeah, just

40:11 Speaker 7: a lot. Yeah.

40:13 Speaker 11: And then so so who who are the primary writers?

40:15 Speaker 12: So is that the two of you?

40:16 Speaker 13: Is it?

40:17 Speaker 12: Well?

40:17 Speaker 11: As far as music, and.

40:18 Speaker 12: We all definitely do our own parts, has their own part.

40:22 Speaker 5: Yeah.

40:22 Speaker 7: I write the words and sing them, yeah, Chris does

40:25 Speaker 7: the guitar riffs, Jay on drums, Patrick on bass, and

40:29 Speaker 7: we all you know, when we come together, it just

40:30 Speaker 7: grows into something new.

40:32 Speaker 12: Yeah. Right, it's no fun having one guy dictate everything. Yeah.

40:35 Speaker 12: I want to be inspired by the other guys in

40:37 Speaker 12: the room, people in the room.

40:39 Speaker 13: So I want everybody to do their own thing well

40:41 Speaker 13: as much as possible. Everybody has ideas.

40:44 Speaker 11: Oh yeah, well certainly, and again there's part of my

40:47 Speaker 11: bass by bias as a bass player. But you know,

40:49 Speaker 11: but but certainly it does sound like the rhythm section

40:53 Speaker 11: has a lot to do with how these songs. Oh yeah,

40:55 Speaker 11: flesh out because you know, both the bass and the drums.

40:59 Speaker 11: I mean, you can really hear everything comes through and

41:03 Speaker 11: uh and it is definitely a part of the Pulsifier sound.

41:06 Speaker 13: Absolutely, Yeah, everybody playing off each other. You can hear

41:09 Speaker 13: like the bass does follows the drums or back and

41:12 Speaker 13: forth or whatever. Everybody's kind of Oh that's a cool part.

41:15 Speaker 13: Let me see if I can accent that. A lot

41:17 Speaker 13: of lot to feel that way.

41:20 Speaker 11: Where does the name come from, by the way, Pulsifier

41:23 Speaker 11: Who came up with the name?

41:24 Speaker 12: Yeah?

41:24 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it has meaning, though, do you want to

41:27 Speaker 7: explain it early?

41:28 Speaker 12: You can.

41:32 Speaker 7: The idea behind it was, you know that inspiration comes

41:35 Speaker 7: from not from just us personally, but from all around us. Yeah,

41:40 Speaker 7: and we take that inspiration and use it to make

41:44 Speaker 7: something new. You know, it passes through us as a

41:46 Speaker 7: band that we can share with everyone else as something different.

41:51 Speaker 11: Yeah that makes sense.

41:52 Speaker 13: Yea, the vibrational pulse, right right, so we add our

41:55 Speaker 13: own spin on the vibe and send it back out.

41:58 Speaker 12: Yeah, okay.

41:59 Speaker 11: And then the name of the album, Personas. Where where

42:02 Speaker 11: does that name come from? Personas?

42:04 Speaker 13: Oh, that's just it's that is because every song is

42:08 Speaker 13: kind of like it's kind of a each character of

42:12 Speaker 13: someone's personality. You know, like if you go to work,

42:15 Speaker 13: you have one persona. If you want to rock stage,

42:17 Speaker 13: you're on another persona.

42:18 Speaker 12: And that's what this album is like. It's all these.

42:20 Speaker 13: Songs are are kind of like a journey of growth, Yeah,

42:26 Speaker 13: with different characters and different shadows that you.

42:28 Speaker 28: Have to deal with the warrior, the lover, the the child,

42:33 Speaker 28: the animal. Yeah then yeah, ye shadow all of it.

42:39 Speaker 11: Yeah, No, that's uh, that's cool. When you when you

42:43 Speaker 11: play live, Uh, do you do you have any material

42:46 Speaker 11: that you haven't recorded that is part of your live set,

42:48 Speaker 11: because it sounds like you got a lot of ideas.

42:51 Speaker 11: You probably have lots songs I haven't recorded yet, right.

42:54 Speaker 12: Yeah, we have way too many songs, and really it's.

42:58 Speaker 15: Hard to decide which songs to put on the album

43:02 Speaker 15: because like in my opinion, and I think in all

43:04 Speaker 15: of our opinions, every single song is a banger, like

43:07 Speaker 15: they can all be the single. None of them are filler. Yeah,

43:10 Speaker 15: so it was like almost a shame only doing seven songs.

43:13 Speaker 7: It's a good.

43:13 Speaker 11: Problem to have, but yeah, it's like, I mean, how

43:16 Speaker 11: do you even decide when you've got I mean hard Yeah.

43:19 Speaker 7: Like which ones do we leave out? We don't want

43:21 Speaker 7: to leave any of them out. I want them all

43:23 Speaker 7: out there.

43:23 Speaker 12: How many songs do you have?

43:25 Speaker 11: Can you put a number on it? Like as a

43:27 Speaker 11: band originals?

43:30 Speaker 7: How many do you think now finished?

43:32 Speaker 13: So I actually we actually try to prioritize and not

43:38 Speaker 13: like completely finish the song and we live it. We

43:40 Speaker 13: give it plenty of times to grow. There's many songs

43:43 Speaker 13: we jam we are constantly jamming on. We have one

43:46 Speaker 13: called Eye of the Storm. It's been something we've been

43:50 Speaker 13: We've been just messing with that for months now. It's

43:52 Speaker 13: just slowly growing.

43:53 Speaker 12: It has to give. You have to give it time.

43:55 Speaker 12: You have to time to grow.

43:57 Speaker 14: It's like simmering in the pot.

43:59 Speaker 12: Yeah.

44:00 Speaker 13: Yeah, we came up with a new part on that

44:01 Speaker 13: song just a couple of weeks ago. It was it

44:03 Speaker 13: was like, oh, there we go, that's what we were

44:05 Speaker 13: looking forwards.

44:05 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's great. Yeah, where did did we talk about?

44:09 Speaker 7: Where you recorded?

44:10 Speaker 12: Where?

44:11 Speaker 11: Where? Where did you've recorded these? Because everything Halo Studio?

44:15 Speaker 7: Okay, John Wyman.

44:16 Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, I want to make sure everything sounds so good.

44:20 Speaker 11: So we want to make sure Okay, so tell me.

44:21 Speaker 11: So I don't know about John Wyman. Tell me about him.

44:24 Speaker 12: The halo is is world famous or infamous?

44:27 Speaker 13: Oh yeah, yeah, and yeah he's uh, he's done some

44:32 Speaker 13: done some pretty incredible stuff, especially with the local scene.

44:35 Speaker 12: But he's also also on National Guy. You know, I

44:38 Speaker 12: don't want to misspeak. I don't. I can't say for sure.

44:40 Speaker 12: Some of the Nationalists done, but he's done.

44:43 Speaker 8: You know.

44:44 Speaker 13: I think the last one is big thing he did

44:46 Speaker 13: was pretty reckless stuff. I'm not okay, yeah, okay, So

44:50 Speaker 13: he's in Portland or is he?

44:51 Speaker 11: Where is he?

44:53 Speaker 12: Yeah? Non descript, undisclosed building.

44:56 Speaker 7: Yeah, it looks like from the outside you not expect

45:00 Speaker 7: what's on the inside. I love that.

45:03 Speaker 12: Yeah, what a cool spot. Wow. Yeah, the guy is amazing.

45:08 Speaker 11: And how did you come to work with him? How

45:10 Speaker 11: did that come about? Because because he's obviously a big you.

45:12 Speaker 12: Know, yeah, it bled over from from my previous band

45:15 Speaker 12: that I would I would call it there. Yeah, okay,

45:18 Speaker 12: oh cool, and I just knew that I'm not going

45:20 Speaker 12: to go anywhere else. That's the place to go.

45:22 Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, actually, yeah, it's such a good ear for details.

45:27 Speaker 11: Does he does he kind of become like you know,

45:31 Speaker 11: because obviously every producer has their own style. Everyone's different,

45:34 Speaker 11: everyone kind of has their own approach. Does he become

45:36 Speaker 11: like like that, like a fifth member of the band.

45:38 Speaker 12: Or he did, Yeah, yeah, he was.

45:41 Speaker 25: He was.

45:43 Speaker 12: Talking about doing the harmonies for for Scars.

45:49 Speaker 7: Yeah. He gets excited and then you know, are like,

45:50 Speaker 7: we're onto something.

45:52 Speaker 13: Like yeah, she's been doing her vocal stuff. And after

45:55 Speaker 13: you take he spins around. He's like, did you guys

45:57 Speaker 13: hear that?

45:57 Speaker 12: Yeah? That was that was fantastic. Let me bring out

46:00 Speaker 12: my little player and show you the fists.

46:04 Speaker 7: Oh no, kidd yeah yeah, and he'll play something.

46:07 Speaker 12: Very creative, so he gets the juices flowing as well.

46:10 Speaker 7: Brilliant.

46:11 Speaker 15: Yeah, and he has the most incredible ear too, Like

46:14 Speaker 15: your guitar could be out of tune by one cent

46:18 Speaker 15: and they'll be like, oh no, tune up and you're like,

46:20 Speaker 15: what do you mean, Like it's imperfect to know it's not.

46:22 Speaker 13: We're playing the live track and he's like, Patrick, your

46:26 Speaker 13: d string is off, it's flat. Yeah, I'm like, okay,

46:30 Speaker 13: not according to the tuner it's not.

46:32 Speaker 7: But you're on you yeah yeah, yeah, he gets the

46:36 Speaker 7: best out of you.

46:37 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's what it takes. It's but it's also good

46:40 Speaker 11: to you, good, good for you. It speaks you know,

46:44 Speaker 11: you're obviously mature as a band to be able to

46:46 Speaker 11: work with someone like because some people can't work with

46:48 Speaker 11: a producer like that, you know what I mean. Some

46:50 Speaker 11: people get resentful. They feel like, Oh, this guy's trying

46:54 Speaker 11: to take over what I'm doing, you know what I mean.

46:56 Speaker 11: So for you to be able to go in and

46:57 Speaker 11: be open, you know, not everyone can.

47:00 Speaker 7: We go to him. We want that.

47:01 Speaker 13: Yeah, you've gotta be careful not to be too attached

47:04 Speaker 13: to your own ideas.

47:05 Speaker 12: It prevents growth and thought. You just have to go

47:08 Speaker 12: with that.

47:08 Speaker 7: But he lets us try too. That's another thing.

47:10 Speaker 25: I like.

47:10 Speaker 7: I'll be like, can I just try it? I go

47:12 Speaker 7: be like, this is gonna sound really weird. Can I

47:14 Speaker 7: just try something? Yeah, And I'll be like, and then

47:16 Speaker 7: give me your feedback. If you don't like it, we'll

47:18 Speaker 7: cut it, take it. Lets me try stuff.

47:22 Speaker 11: I'm really glad I moved that filter. He sounds so

47:24 Speaker 11: much better.

47:26 Speaker 7: Let's start over.

47:27 Speaker 11: Yeah, but if you are just joining us, we have

47:30 Speaker 11: Pulsifier here with us alive in studio, and so what's

47:35 Speaker 11: kind of the do you know what the sort of

47:37 Speaker 11: the long term plan is, so the album will be

47:38 Speaker 11: out probably October, like what's kind of about October? And

47:43 Speaker 11: then you're gonna be hitting the road again or then.

47:46 Speaker 7: We are hitting the road again for another national tour.

47:49 Speaker 7: This one's called October.

47:51 Speaker 15: Okay, Scottie Austin from Saving Abel.

47:55 Speaker 11: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, okay, So so tell us about this.

47:58 Speaker 11: Is this like a is it like a package tour,

48:00 Speaker 11: a festival or what like.

48:01 Speaker 13: What it's kind of a mixture, Yeah, he is. He

48:03 Speaker 13: is making a big push for one of one of

48:07 Speaker 13: his songs. So he has kind of like handpicked his

48:10 Speaker 13: favorite spots that he's played over the years, and so

48:13 Speaker 13: this is gonna be like this ought to be a

48:15 Speaker 13: pretty interesting tour.

48:17 Speaker 11: Yeah.

48:18 Speaker 12: Yeah. Do you have a lot of support?

48:20 Speaker 7: And he's wild. He's so fun to watch live. Yeah,

48:24 Speaker 7: a lot of fun, very entertaining.

48:26 Speaker 12: Yeah.

48:26 Speaker 13: We just did a show with him in Ohio and

48:30 Speaker 13: we were just standing out watching and he just looked

48:32 Speaker 13: at it.

48:32 Speaker 12: He's like, you guys are coming up with us.

48:35 Speaker 7: Oh, that's very cool. Yeah, we had to run up,

48:39 Speaker 7: but we're in that half pipe we're in there's a

48:42 Speaker 7: skate park. The stage was on the top of the

48:45 Speaker 7: half pipe, so he's like, come on up here, guys,

48:48 Speaker 7: and we like ran up the pipe, jumped on stage.

48:52 Speaker 12: He's quite his character and great entertainer. Yeah, oh very cool.

48:57 Speaker 12: Are you on the full tour?

48:58 Speaker 11: Are you doing the whole run with him or doing

49:00 Speaker 11: over on the whole way? Excellent?

49:02 Speaker 13: We actually have We actually have three more after that

49:05 Speaker 13: before April, three more tours, so we're.

49:08 Speaker 12: Going to be busy through the yeah.

49:09 Speaker 2: Yeah.

49:10 Speaker 13: And after that we want to flip the script. We

49:12 Speaker 13: want to be on the other side of of the

49:15 Speaker 13: you know, instead of direct support. We want to see

49:16 Speaker 13: if we can what we can do as far as

49:19 Speaker 13: headlining a small club tour.

49:21 Speaker 12: Yeah, we're just kind of feeling it out. Yeah, what

49:23 Speaker 12: we can do.

49:25 Speaker 11: Yeah, so you're on the right path. Are you on

49:28 Speaker 11: a label by the way, as far as the album

49:30 Speaker 11: itself that's going to be coming out or is that

49:31 Speaker 11: all DI I Y or how are you doing that?

49:33 Speaker 11: Because there's so many like we were talking about earlier,

49:35 Speaker 11: there's so many ways to release music now, there's so

49:37 Speaker 11: many ways to.

49:38 Speaker 13: Yeah, this this management, but there's no it's it would

49:41 Speaker 13: still technically independent. Yeah, it protects us the best.

49:45 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, it does absolutely does.

49:48 Speaker 13: There's no reason. You know, a lot of time, you know,

49:51 Speaker 13: you hear it over and over, there's no reason to

49:52 Speaker 13: have a label. I'm sure labels will disagree, and I'm

49:55 Speaker 13: sure that they can get you out there. But there's

49:57 Speaker 13: a there's always a back and forth, there's always a

50:00 Speaker 13: you always pay for one one way or another.

50:02 Speaker 11: It's always a risk too, because you know a label.

50:05 Speaker 11: You know, they might come along and offer you a

50:06 Speaker 11: bunch of you know, big advance for your album or whatever,

50:09 Speaker 11: and that kind and the cash infusion is great, it

50:12 Speaker 11: can be, and they might you know, they might make

50:15 Speaker 11: you famous. They also might have you record an album

50:18 Speaker 11: and then say we've changed our mind and shelve your

50:20 Speaker 11: album that you've worked on and you can't heartbreak and

50:24 Speaker 11: you can't do anything with it.

50:25 Speaker 13: I mean, oh yeah, hey there's a there's already a

50:29 Speaker 13: hard rock album out. We're going to hold yours off

50:31 Speaker 13: until that runs its course.

50:32 Speaker 12: Yeah, a lot to it.

50:35 Speaker 11: There's so much that can go wrong. Yeah, and I'm

50:39 Speaker 11: not saying, you know, I mean, obviously, if the right

50:41 Speaker 11: deal came along, you know you'd consider it, right, but absolutely, yeah,

50:44 Speaker 11: But but you're being smart about it, you know, And

50:46 Speaker 11: and we live in a time where you don't have

50:48 Speaker 11: to wait for the right deal. You can just go

50:50 Speaker 11: make your own you know, go make your own way.

50:52 Speaker 11: And and so I think you're on a great path.

50:54 Speaker 12: I think you're Yeah.

50:55 Speaker 13: I mean it comes to a point where in order

50:57 Speaker 13: to do some of the bigger things you have to

50:59 Speaker 13: be on the lead. We're not quite there yet, so

51:01 Speaker 13: we're not worried about it.

51:02 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, no, I think so. Until then, we're gonna

51:05 Speaker 12: drive our own ship a little bit longer.

51:06 Speaker 11: There you go, there you go. No, I think that's

51:08 Speaker 11: the right approach, absolutely.

51:11 Speaker 16: So.

51:11 Speaker 11: And then we should remind people too about Swarmy Fest

51:15 Speaker 11: coming out, Yeah, November fifteenth, Yeah.

51:17 Speaker 7: Yes, November fifteenth, Swarmy Fast. Sounds like it's going to

51:21 Speaker 7: be amazing. Has the band Sepsis, Yeah, and a bunch

51:25 Speaker 7: of other bands and acts and performers.

51:27 Speaker 11: Silent Season is now co headlining with Sepsis, which is cool.

51:30 Speaker 11: We had them on recently and uh yeah, they're they're great.

51:34 Speaker 7: We're very excited to be part of it.

51:36 Speaker 11: Yeah wait, yeah, yeah, right across the street at Jewel

51:39 Speaker 11: and this show Matt Conderton Unleashed. We're one of the

51:41 Speaker 11: sponsors this will be our third year.

51:44 Speaker 12: Very cool.

51:45 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, so we'll be there, Jenny and I will

51:47 Speaker 11: be there, so yeah, really really looking forward to that.

51:50 Speaker 12: So yeah, that'll be fun.

51:51 Speaker 7: Yeah, we can't wait.

51:51 Speaker 14: Yeah.

51:52 Speaker 15: We've been trying to play with Sepsis for a little while,

51:54 Speaker 15: but we've had opportunities, but there's always just been you know,

51:57 Speaker 15: a wrench in the plans with timing.

51:59 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, kind of coordinate, Yeah, who's free when? So yeah,

52:02 Speaker 7: we're very excited to team up with them and everyone

52:05 Speaker 7: who's part of it. Yeah yeah, and everyone who comes out. Yeah,

52:08 Speaker 7: it's like, come on out and party with us. We're

52:10 Speaker 7: gonna have fun.

52:11 Speaker 11: Absolutely, absolutely, Well, the time goes quickly. We are approaching

52:15 Speaker 11: the top of the hour, and I want to make

52:16 Speaker 11: sure that we can get this last song in because

52:19 Speaker 11: we are going to play in a moment. We're gonna

52:23 Speaker 11: play Venomous Thing. Okay, So I need to know is

52:25 Speaker 11: there a story?

52:26 Speaker 7: Like what is a story behind everything?

52:28 Speaker 11: I need to know, especially this one because like I said,

52:30 Speaker 11: this one's my favorite.

52:31 Speaker 7: Yes, there's a story behind every song that we do.

52:34 Speaker 7: So for this one, for Venomous Thing, like we talked about,

52:36 Speaker 7: it was actually the first single that we released and

52:41 Speaker 7: this song is really for anyone who's ever dealt with

52:46 Speaker 7: any type of toxic relationship or codependent relationship, and it's

52:52 Speaker 7: really about kind of looking at that whole relationship but

52:56 Speaker 7: also looking at yourself, like self reflection. And you know

52:59 Speaker 7: what part did I play? And like with most of

53:03 Speaker 7: our songs, it's you know, the the underlying element is

53:06 Speaker 7: also about becoming stronger and healing and just personal growth.

53:10 Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, okay, very good. I like the positive message

53:14 Speaker 11: and all of that, so, which seems to be a

53:16 Speaker 11: theme in your music. So I think that's amazing it is, yes,

53:19 Speaker 11: And also so before we play that, before we finish up,

53:22 Speaker 11: one other thing, where's the best place for people to

53:24 Speaker 11: go online? Where should people go online? To keep up
