0:44 Speaker 1: King from the Band on the line with us.

0:46 Speaker 2: Hello, Yes, Hello, thank you for having me.

0:49 Speaker 1: Absolutely welcome. I love that song and as I think

0:53 Speaker 1: you know too, the first single we had played from

0:55 Speaker 1: you guys was Maxine and I love that one too.

0:58 Speaker 1: We had that one in kind of heavy rotation around

1:00 Speaker 1: here for a while, but but I love this track,

1:03 Speaker 1: not giving up. It's really good. When did this come out?

1:07 Speaker 2: This has only really been out a week, I believe,

1:09 Speaker 2: so not too long at all.

1:11 Speaker 1: Very new. Yeah, yeah, that's depressed outstanding. Now, Jordan, is

1:17 Speaker 1: it just you ors anybody with you?

1:19 Speaker 2: It's just myself today? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know

1:22 Speaker 2: what the rest of the guys are doing.

1:24 Speaker 1: That's all right. Sometimes less is more. Sometimes we get

1:26 Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of people on on teams and

1:27 Speaker 1: it's uh, it becomes confusing. So we're happy to have you. Now,

1:33 Speaker 1: what do you do in the band?

1:35 Speaker 2: So I'm the lead guitarist. Okay, So all the little

1:38 Speaker 2: riffs and stuff you heard in that track was cut

1:41 Speaker 2: to see it myself. So yeah, excellent.

1:44 Speaker 1: Well what I want to ask you too about is

1:46 Speaker 1: there's a surprise in that song because when you listen

1:50 Speaker 1: to it, you don't really expect, especially you know, hearing

1:52 Speaker 1: your other songs, when that saxophone comes in, you don't

1:57 Speaker 1: you don't see that coming, or perhaps I should say

1:58 Speaker 1: you don't hear that coming. But it fit's a song perfectly.

2:01 Speaker 1: I mean, it works really well, but it's a surprise

2:04 Speaker 1: the first time you listen to the song. Do one

2:07 Speaker 1: of you guys in the band play the sacks or

2:10 Speaker 1: did you bring in somebody outside to do that, or

2:12 Speaker 1: how did that come about.

2:14 Speaker 2: I'm glad that you say it was a surprise. That

2:16 Speaker 2: was kind of the idea. So none of us play saxophone.

2:19 Speaker 2: The where that came from. It was an idea for myself.

2:22 Speaker 2: So we were sat in the studio. I got the

2:25 Speaker 2: lead guitar part down for the breakdown at the end

2:28 Speaker 2: of the track, and I just thought it was missing something.

2:31 Speaker 2: And I've always liked, you know, brass instruments, et cetera.

2:34 Speaker 2: One of my favorite pieces of music is Baker Street.

2:38 Speaker 2: I love the sax on that piece of music. Yes,

2:41 Speaker 2: you know, I wonder if a sax would fit in here.

2:43 Speaker 2: So we went externally brought someone in to do it,

2:46 Speaker 2: and know it's on the track now, so that's fantastic.

2:50 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it fits perfectly. Baker Street is a great

2:52 Speaker 1: example too of where you can do that really effectively.

2:56 Speaker 1: But when you do this, so what happens when you

2:59 Speaker 1: do that song live? Or have you played that song live?

3:02 Speaker 2: So we've been playing that song live for about a

3:04 Speaker 2: year now. I think obviously as a small band, it's

3:09 Speaker 2: difficult to get someone on board that plays saxophone, so

3:12 Speaker 2: we play it slightly different live. It's a lot heavier live,

3:15 Speaker 2: more guitar driven. Obviously, the aim eventually would be to

3:19 Speaker 2: have someone play that live with us with the sacks.

3:21 Speaker 2: That'd be pretty cool, but we can't do that at

3:24 Speaker 2: the moment.

3:25 Speaker 1: At the same time, though, it must be kind of

3:27 Speaker 1: fun too to play it a different way live, just

3:30 Speaker 1: because it you know, I would guess it kind of

3:32 Speaker 1: keeps it fresh for you guys, right, you know, you're

3:35 Speaker 1: kind of It gives you some room to kind of

3:37 Speaker 1: experiment and only, like you said, maybe make it a

3:40 Speaker 1: little heavier live. You know, it probably goes over well,

3:42 Speaker 1: I would imagine, definitely.

3:44 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way we try to play live all

3:46 Speaker 2: the time. It keeps it fresh and exciting. We like

3:49 Speaker 2: to do things slightly different live, maybe extend tracks or

3:53 Speaker 2: One thing that we do often is we merge songs together.

3:56 Speaker 2: So we've got two new singles coming out next year.

4:00 Speaker 2: When we played them live, they fade into each other live,

4:03 Speaker 2: which is quite cool. So yeah, we enjoyed doing stuff

4:06 Speaker 2: like that when we perform.

4:07 Speaker 1: Oh, excellent, excellent, how long have you guys? I mean,

4:12 Speaker 1: it's it's been. It's been a few years, right, like

4:14 Speaker 1: we we've just been getting to know you. I think

4:17 Speaker 1: May was when you were on before And is that

4:19 Speaker 1: around when Maxine came out? Because I love that song too,

4:21 Speaker 1: that's such a great track.

4:23 Speaker 2: Yeah, that came out first half of this year.

4:25 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, but have you guys been around since

4:28 Speaker 1: what twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two or.

4:32 Speaker 2: Man, time flies, doesn't it. Yeah that sounds about right. Yeah.

4:37 Speaker 2: So we formed originally me and my friend who's no

4:41 Speaker 2: longer with the band, so he was our first bassist.

4:44 Speaker 2: We met in the pub over a drink, decided we

4:48 Speaker 2: wanted to be in a band, and that's kind of

4:51 Speaker 2: how it came about. So me and him started writing

4:53 Speaker 2: some things. Then Liam, the lead singer joined. He'd played

4:57 Speaker 2: in a band previously with our drummer, so that kind

4:59 Speaker 2: of all things together. And yeah, it must have been

5:02 Speaker 2: nearly four years now, which is frightening.

5:05 Speaker 3: Wow.

5:05 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, the time does go quickly. Have you guys

5:10 Speaker 1: been you know, we talked a little bit about touchdown

5:13 Speaker 1: playing live. Have you guys been doing a lot of shows?

5:17 Speaker 2: Yeah? We usually gig quite a lot. Although the back

5:20 Speaker 2: end of this year, we've taken the foot off the

5:23 Speaker 2: gas a little bit and focused more on studio things.

5:27 Speaker 2: We want to get a few new tracks out next

5:29 Speaker 2: year after not giving up. That's just come out of course,

5:33 Speaker 2: and we're putting a big push on social media I

5:35 Speaker 2: think at the moment as well, to try and grow

5:37 Speaker 2: a bit of a stronger online presence. So we do

5:40 Speaker 2: have two shows lined up for the start of next year,

5:44 Speaker 2: but I guess we'll see what the new year brings.

5:46 Speaker 2: But yeah, a lot of focus on studio stuff at

5:49 Speaker 2: the moment and social media.

5:52 Speaker 1: Where do you guys record? You know, I always like to.

5:55 Speaker 1: I mean, I have a bit of an auto engineering

5:57 Speaker 1: background myself. I'm a little bit of a nerd for

5:59 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. But I'm just curious because there's

6:01 Speaker 1: so many different ways to record now. You know, when

6:05 Speaker 1: I was growing I'm old enough to remember when basically

6:07 Speaker 1: your option was you you go to a studio, or

6:11 Speaker 1: you know, you could maybe buy yourself a little task

6:14 Speaker 1: scam recorder and make four track recordings at home, and

6:16 Speaker 1: that was about it. But because it's obvious in listening

6:20 Speaker 1: to your music and talking with you that that sonically

6:24 Speaker 1: it's very important to get this right, You're you're, you're

6:26 Speaker 1: clearly you're every everything is very everything just sounds like

6:32 Speaker 1: you can you can just tell. You can tell by

6:34 Speaker 1: listening to your songs that you put a lot into

6:36 Speaker 1: not only the writing of the songs, but the recording

6:39 Speaker 1: of them, so you know it does It certainly doesn't

6:42 Speaker 1: sound like a situation where you're just going going uh

6:45 Speaker 1: to a studio for a day and spending a couple

6:47 Speaker 1: of hours and banging these out. I assume a lot

6:49 Speaker 1: goes into them. I don't know if you have a

6:50 Speaker 1: producer that you work with or tell me about the

6:52 Speaker 1: recording process.

6:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, Yeah. We love going in the studio.

6:57 Speaker 2: It's it's the favorite thing for all members of the band.

7:00 Speaker 2: I think they'd all agree going into the studio, And

7:04 Speaker 2: you're completely right, it's not a case of going in

7:07 Speaker 2: and banging these out in a couple of hours. A

7:09 Speaker 2: lot of work goes into it. I think. To give

7:11 Speaker 2: you an insight as to how we operate as a band,

7:15 Speaker 2: and this is very similar across bands of our size.

7:20 Speaker 2: Studio higher is very expensive for alongside hiring a producer

7:24 Speaker 2: as well, so a lot of the work actually comes

7:27 Speaker 2: pre studio. We do a lot of work in practice

7:30 Speaker 2: rooms beforehand, we'll kind of do our own mixes on

7:34 Speaker 2: our own software first. That's where a lot of the

7:37 Speaker 2: experiment experimental things come into play. Then we can go

7:41 Speaker 2: into the studio get the basic layer of the track down,

7:46 Speaker 2: and then that gives us a lot of time to

7:48 Speaker 2: play around with other things and different sounds that you

7:51 Speaker 2: can't produce on your own outside of that studio environment.

7:55 Speaker 2: So that's the way that we tend to do it.

7:57 Speaker 2: So we probably get a track down, as you said,

8:00 Speaker 2: you bang it out in a few hours. But then

8:03 Speaker 2: because we've done all of that leg work beforehand, it

8:06 Speaker 2: gives us that freedom of expression, if you will, in

8:09 Speaker 2: the studio to try different things and maybe get different

8:12 Speaker 2: instruments in there, like the sax idea for example. And

8:16 Speaker 2: so that's how we tend to go about our recording,

8:18 Speaker 2: a lot of legwork beforehand, into the studio, get the

8:21 Speaker 2: track down, and then we can I don't think mess

8:25 Speaker 2: around is the right phrase. Yeah, sometimes it feels like it,

8:29 Speaker 2: you know, So that's how we tend to go about it.

8:31 Speaker 2: I think we recording a place called the Grand in

8:33 Speaker 2: Clitherol which actually has a huge stage attached to it.

8:39 Speaker 2: Which is awesome. We've played that live which was really cool. Yeah,

8:43 Speaker 2: it's a quite cool venue. Actually it's in a place

8:46 Speaker 2: called Clitherow, which I appreciate. You guided state side, So

8:50 Speaker 2: it's about forty minutes drive from Manchester, so not too

8:56 Speaker 2: far away.

8:57 Speaker 1: Not bad, no, And it's great that you go there prepared.

8:59 Speaker 1: You know, you can save a lot of time and

9:01 Speaker 1: money if you're well prepared going to going to the studio. Yeah,

9:09 Speaker 1: it's cool too that it's got a venue there as well.

9:11 Speaker 1: I don't know why, uh, I mean, there's definitely examples

9:15 Speaker 1: here of places like that, but I can't think of

9:18 Speaker 1: any off the top of my head where you know,

9:20 Speaker 1: there's a recording studio and there's a stage and they

9:23 Speaker 1: you know, and it kind of works as both a

9:25 Speaker 1: studio and a venue. It's such a it's such a

9:28 Speaker 1: great concept and it seems so obvious, but it's probably

9:31 Speaker 1: a lot uh to do correctly. But I I wish, like,

9:36 Speaker 1: like I said, I know, this place is like that

9:38 Speaker 1: here too. I just can't think of many. I can't

9:40 Speaker 1: think of any off the top of my head. But

9:42 Speaker 1: have you have you always work like from the beginning

9:45 Speaker 1: of this project, has it always been the same studio.

9:49 Speaker 2: No, so we recorded a different studio once and this

9:53 Speaker 2: was a long time ago to when our first single

9:54 Speaker 2: came out, so I actually can't recall what the name was.

9:58 Speaker 2: It was it was somewhere near Warrington, but I don't know.

10:02 Speaker 2: And then since then there was another place I believe

10:07 Speaker 2: in clid Throw that we recorded in and then so yeah,

10:11 Speaker 2: we're recorded in quite a few actually, now I think

10:13 Speaker 2: about it. One studio was particularly cool because the studio

10:17 Speaker 2: was right at the top of a three story building

10:20 Speaker 2: and the first floor had a bar, so it was great.

10:22 Speaker 2: So once you've done, once you've done, let's say i'd

10:25 Speaker 2: finished my guitar part, so I don't have to sit

10:27 Speaker 2: and listen to Dan Bash on the drums or le

10:31 Speaker 2: and du vocals. I can slip away and grab myself

10:33 Speaker 2: a beer and then come back in a few hours

10:35 Speaker 2: time and see what they've cracked on with, which was

10:37 Speaker 2: quite a cool setup. So, right, I liked that place,

10:40 Speaker 2: So that was cool.

10:40 Speaker 1: Oh that's cool. That's cool. Yeah, I'm sure I've asked

10:43 Speaker 1: you this before. I think the last time you were on.

10:46 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I asked, but I don't remember what

10:48 Speaker 1: the answer was. And you know, obviously we have newer

10:50 Speaker 1: listeners who aren't familiar with you. Yet, where does the

10:52 Speaker 1: name come from? The forensics?

10:55 Speaker 2: That's a really good question. I'm actually not one hundred

10:59 Speaker 2: percent myself. I'm completely honest with you. We've had that

11:02 Speaker 2: name for a good number of years. I think we

11:05 Speaker 2: just I think it might have been Liam's idea, and

11:10 Speaker 2: obviously he's not with us today, so I actually don't

11:12 Speaker 2: know where it came from. Obviously, forensics has that tie

11:15 Speaker 2: into police work and that kind of stuff, but we've

11:20 Speaker 2: never We did a bit of that stuff for Maxine.

11:23 Speaker 2: When we released Maxine, some of our artwork was was

11:27 Speaker 2: in forensic suits, and we have played we have played

11:30 Speaker 2: live in forensic suits as well, which is quite cool.

11:33 Speaker 2: But by gosh, did they get warm halfway through a show?

11:36 Speaker 2: Really likes pointing at you.

11:39 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can imagine.

11:40 Speaker 2: But as far as the name goes, I don't know

11:42 Speaker 2: where it came from. But when someone pitched the idea

11:44 Speaker 2: forensics to me, I just thought, yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah,

11:47 Speaker 2: And then the fingerprint as the logo, I thought, yeah,

11:51 Speaker 2: that's quite cool as well. So where it comes from,

11:53 Speaker 2: I have no idea, but I quite like it.

11:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's excellent. Is that the name that the

11:59 Speaker 1: band had from the beginning.

12:01 Speaker 2: So we were originally called Riley James and the Summer Tones

12:06 Speaker 2: because Liam was a solo artist before he joined the band,

12:10 Speaker 2: so we played a lot of his solo stuff as

12:13 Speaker 2: a band when we initially came together, So it was

12:16 Speaker 2: called Riley James. That was his single stuff, and the

12:19 Speaker 2: Summer Tones was the idea for the rest of the band.

12:22 Speaker 2: But eventually I think we all came together and thought, no,

12:25 Speaker 2: we want to write music as a band, and if

12:27 Speaker 2: we're going to do that, you know, we need to

12:31 Speaker 2: have a defined name, and so we decided on the Forensics.

12:34 Speaker 1: Was that challenging at all for Liam? I mean, not

12:37 Speaker 1: that you want to speak for him, I'm sure, but

12:38 Speaker 1: I'm just curious because that's obviously an adjustment for him, right.

12:42 Speaker 2: I think it was an adjustment.

12:44 Speaker 4: Yeah.

12:44 Speaker 2: I don't think he struggled with it. I think it

12:46 Speaker 2: was a conversation that happened over a good number of weeks.

12:49 Speaker 2: There was a bit of back and forth, of course,

12:51 Speaker 2: on which way we wanted to take the band. I

12:54 Speaker 2: think looking back now over the years, it was certainly

12:56 Speaker 2: the right decision. I think we've got a really unique

13:00 Speaker 2: sound now as a band. It's interesting to watch how

13:03 Speaker 2: we progress from what you could define as quite light

13:07 Speaker 2: indie pop to almost rocky in a sense, which is

13:11 Speaker 2: quite a cool development. Yeah, and I don't think that

13:14 Speaker 2: would have happened if it was driven by one individual.

13:17 Speaker 2: I think that's because as a group we have very

13:20 Speaker 2: unique and individual inspirations, which when you put them all together,

13:26 Speaker 2: is quite a good recipe.

13:28 Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely absolutely so, yeah, so not giving up

13:33 Speaker 1: is really new. And then what what's kind of the

13:36 Speaker 1: do you know when the next single is going to be,

13:38 Speaker 1: or what's kind of the forward trajectory as far as

13:44 Speaker 1: because I assume, I mean, it strikes me that you

13:46 Speaker 1: guys probably have a lot of ideas in the band.

13:50 Speaker 1: I mean you're probably always writing, I would guess.

13:53 Speaker 2: Always writing. Yeah, many many songs. If we jumped into

13:57 Speaker 2: the studio tomorrow and had unlimited time, I think we

14:00 Speaker 2: have about ten tracks right now that we could record.

14:04 Speaker 2: So obviously a lot of that makes up our live performances,

14:08 Speaker 2: which is it keeps it fresh as well, because you

14:11 Speaker 2: can rotate songs in and out, so you never get

14:13 Speaker 2: bored of the tracks you're playing with regards to future

14:17 Speaker 2: plans unconfirmed as to when we're going to release them,

14:21 Speaker 2: but we are in the studio in two weeks time

14:24 Speaker 2: to finish off three tracks that we got down a

14:27 Speaker 2: few months ago. Oh so we went to the studio

14:30 Speaker 2: a few months back, got three quarters of them done,

14:34 Speaker 2: I would say. So we're going back in two weeks

14:36 Speaker 2: to get vocals and lead guitar finished, which I'm excited for.

14:41 Speaker 2: When those will come out, I'm not too sure, but

14:43 Speaker 2: there's three singles that within two weeks time should be

14:46 Speaker 2: pretty close to mastered and ready for release.

14:50 Speaker 1: Oh fantastic, Yeah, no, I get can't wait to hear them. Man,

14:55 Speaker 1: you know, we'd love to continue to be sort of

14:57 Speaker 1: your conduit here into the American radio market because we

15:00 Speaker 1: love what you're doing. I remember the response that we

15:03 Speaker 1: got when we played Maxine for the first time, and

15:06 Speaker 1: we you know, we heard a lot of positive response

15:08 Speaker 1: on that here. It's such a great song, gets really

15:11 Speaker 1: gets stuck in your head. You know, it's so good,

15:14 Speaker 1: so so absolutely love it. And then so are you

15:16 Speaker 1: are you do you have live shows like this weekend or.

15:22 Speaker 2: No, not this weekend. So we're not doing any live

15:25 Speaker 2: shows now until next year. Okay, So I think our

15:28 Speaker 2: first show is April. I think the main focus is

15:32 Speaker 2: get in the studio, get these tracks finished, and then

15:34 Speaker 2: figure out a release schedule for them, you know, understanding

15:37 Speaker 2: what we want to do for social media promotions and

15:42 Speaker 2: vinyl pressing and that kind of stuff. So I think

15:46 Speaker 2: that'll be our main focus for the next few months.

15:48 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Absolutely, absolutely, Well Jordan,

15:52 Speaker 1: you know, we appreciate you joining us, love the new track,

15:55 Speaker 1: not giving up and in a moment, well, like I said,

15:57 Speaker 1: we'll end the conversation with Maxine another great song. Where's

16:03 Speaker 1: the best place for people to go online to keep

16:05 Speaker 1: up with everything that the Forensics is doing.

16:08 Speaker 2: So the best place to find us for understanding a

16:11 Speaker 2: bit more a battles on a personal level is definitely TikTok.

16:14 Speaker 2: So that's just at Forensics Band. Find us on TikTok.

16:18 Speaker 2: We post on their very regularly once a day probably.

16:23 Speaker 2: If you want more official updates, gigs, single releases, all

16:28 Speaker 2: that kind of good stuff, Instagram's probably the best place

16:31 Speaker 2: for that. That would be the same handle that would

16:34 Speaker 2: be at Forensics Band. So either of them Facebook not Facebook.

16:38 Speaker 2: So I didn't mention that Instagram or TikTok would be

16:41 Speaker 2: the best places to go.

16:42 Speaker 1: Okay, wonderful, wonderful. Well, Jordan, thank you again so much.

16:45 Speaker 1: We'll let you go and we're gonna hit this track Maxine.

16:48 Speaker 1: But we appreciate you talking with us today and we'll

16:52 Speaker 1: definitely do it again in the future. And you know,

16:53 Speaker 1: like I said, whenever the next single's ready, we'll we'll

16:56 Speaker 1: have you back on and we'd love to do the

16:58 Speaker 1: American radio premiere here and keep up the great work.

17:00 Speaker 1: We we're big fans here.

17:02 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, No, I appreciate it. Thank you very

17:04 Speaker 2: much for having me. It's great to chat.

17:06 Speaker 1: All right, Jordan, thank you, take care, Thanks you too,

17:09 Speaker 1: Bye bye bye bye. All right. That is Jordan from

17:12 Speaker 1: the band The Forensics, and we're gonna play now the

17:16 Speaker 1: first single that we played from the band here on

27:20 Speaker 1: I do want to thank everyone who has joined us

27:22 Speaker 1: on the show today. For those of you listening live

27:23 Speaker 1: on Saturday. Of course, in the first hour we had

27:26 Speaker 1: Rob Critch Lee from the band The Fods, and we're

27:29 Speaker 1: actually going to close out the show in just a

27:31 Speaker 1: few minutes with another track from the Fods. In the

27:34 Speaker 1: second hour, let's see. In the second hour, of course,

27:36 Speaker 1: we had the guys from Baron Kismo love their new

27:39 Speaker 1: single Easy that just came out pretty recently. We did

27:42 Speaker 1: the American radio premiere for that on the show, I

27:44 Speaker 1: think a week or two ago. It becomes a bit

27:45 Speaker 1: of a blur, but love talking to those guys. And

27:48 Speaker 1: then of course we talked with Jordan from the band

27:51 Speaker 1: The Forensics. We just heard two songs from The Forensics

27:54 Speaker 1: to close out that conversation, Max Scene their first single

27:58 Speaker 1: and LSF And then we we had a great conversation

28:02 Speaker 1: with Jordan. So love that band. Right now, though, since

28:07 Speaker 1: we have time, a little bit of music news, but

28:10 Speaker 1: this particular item, this news item actually combines well, we

28:16 Speaker 1: could do this on two different shows. This is appropriate

28:21 Speaker 1: for Matt connorton Unleashed because we do talk about things

28:25 Speaker 1: going on in the music industry on this show. I also,

28:28 Speaker 1: of course host along with our friend Eric Pilcher, the

28:32 Speaker 1: podcast called Tough Bumps, which is about wrestling, and we

28:36 Speaker 1: do that on the weekend. We'll probably do one this

28:37 Speaker 1: weekend sometime on Sunday that is completely separate from WMNH.

28:43 Speaker 1: Of course, that is strictly a podcast. You can find

28:45 Speaker 1: it on the IPM nation YouTube channel. We share it

28:47 Speaker 1: out on Facebook and everywhere else, so and you can

28:50 Speaker 1: subscribe to it on your podcast platform of choice. Please

28:54 Speaker 1: subscribe to the Tough Bumps podcast. We would love your support.

28:57 Speaker 1: So we do that every weekend and this particular news item,

29:02 Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about this now, but we might

29:04 Speaker 1: also talk about it on Tough Pumps with Eric. This

29:07 Speaker 1: is from Billboard. John Cena hit with lawsuit over famed

29:11 Speaker 1: horns sample in theme song The Time Is Now. The

29:16 Speaker 1: WWE wrestler turned movie star is facing legal claims that

29:21 Speaker 1: the intro to his theme song is based on a

29:24 Speaker 1: sample of a nineteen seventy four recording that was never

29:28 Speaker 1: properly cleared. Now you hear about this, well, you don't

29:31 Speaker 1: hear about it nearly as much anymore because everyone's gotten

29:34 Speaker 1: a lot smarter about it legally. But you know, I

29:37 Speaker 1: remember growing up there were always stories about in hip hop.

29:41 Speaker 1: A hip hop artist releases a song, there's a sample

29:44 Speaker 1: in the song, very often from an early R and

29:48 Speaker 1: B song, or you know, it could be from anything.

29:50 Speaker 1: But so these artists would release this music, these hip

29:55 Speaker 1: hop songs with samples in them that were not cleared

29:59 Speaker 1: with the right whole of whoever owns that audio, whether

30:02 Speaker 1: it be the original artist who did that song that

30:05 Speaker 1: the sample is taken from, or a record label or whomever. Right,

30:09 Speaker 1: So uncleared samples became a problem. And then you know,

30:15 Speaker 1: obviously there's been a lot of litigation about that over

30:17 Speaker 1: the years, and I think you don't really hear about

30:20 Speaker 1: that much today. That is a story that you heard

30:23 Speaker 1: a lot in the eighties and the nineties and even

30:26 Speaker 1: in the two thousands, But today you don't really hear

30:28 Speaker 1: a lot of stories about while this artist is getting

30:31 Speaker 1: sued because they have an uncleared sample on their song

30:35 Speaker 1: or on their album. But here now John Cena, of course,

30:41 Speaker 1: John Cena has become a mainstream celebrity. He is one

30:44 Speaker 1: of the celebrities. He's one of the wrestlers who professional

30:47 Speaker 1: wrestlers who's has transcended wrestling and gone on to be

30:51 Speaker 1: a mainstream celebrity. Obviously, the biggest example of that being

30:54 Speaker 1: The Rock. The Rock one of the highest, if not

30:56 Speaker 1: the highest paid movie star in Hollywood who who initially

31:01 Speaker 1: became famous because of wrestling. That's why we call him

31:03 Speaker 1: the Rock, even though his real name is Dwayne Johnson,

31:06 Speaker 1: Dwayne the Rock Johnson. But you know, he's the greatest

31:10 Speaker 1: example of that. And then of course there's other people

31:13 Speaker 1: who you know, Hull Cogan, who passed away not too

31:16 Speaker 1: long ago, uh, hul Cogan, who did not find mainstream

31:20 Speaker 1: success in cinema. His movies were largely panned because of

31:24 Speaker 1: the films that he started in. Not you know, I'm

31:27 Speaker 1: not talking about Rocky, I'm talking about the films where

31:28 Speaker 1: Hogan was actually the star are generally pretty awful. So

31:32 Speaker 1: but that doesn't change the fact that hul Cogan, despite

31:36 Speaker 1: not really finding success outside of professional wrestling, absolutely one

31:41 Speaker 1: of the most famous people on the planet. So, but

31:44 Speaker 1: John Cena has also Now John Cena is not he

31:47 Speaker 1: has not hit the stratosphere that The Rock has hit,

31:51 Speaker 1: of course, but John Cena very successful in Hollywood and

31:54 Speaker 1: has transcended professional wrestling. He also had and this was

32:01 Speaker 1: really sort of a part of his professional wrestling career.

32:05 Speaker 1: He did release an album He has one hip hop

32:08 Speaker 1: album that he released on WWE's label at the time,

32:12 Speaker 1: and one of the tracks from that album is called

32:15 Speaker 1: The Time Is Now, and the Time Is Now is

32:20 Speaker 1: the song that John Cena comes out to now. John

32:23 Speaker 1: Cena has also been in the news. When I say

32:25 Speaker 1: comes out to I mean when he comes out of

32:27 Speaker 1: the entrance and goes to the ring. For people who

32:29 Speaker 1: are like, what if you're not a wrestling fan, you

32:31 Speaker 1: don't know that, So that's what I mean by come

32:34 Speaker 1: out to now. John Cena also has been relevant within

32:39 Speaker 1: wrestling recently because he's on his retirement tour. He's about

32:43 Speaker 1: to have his final wrestling match ever in the WWE,

32:48 Speaker 1: and you know, he's forty eight years old and this

32:51 Speaker 1: is it. He's going to commit to Hollywood full time,

32:54 Speaker 1: which makes sense. And of course, there was the John

32:59 Speaker 1: Cena heel turn that happened a while back, which actually

33:02 Speaker 1: got a lot of mainstream media attention, even though it

33:06 Speaker 1: was part of a professional wrestling storyline, but it was

33:09 Speaker 1: such a big deal that the mainstream media paid attention

33:12 Speaker 1: to it. So a lot of interesting things and a

33:14 Speaker 1: He'll turn again for people who don't know that's when

33:16 Speaker 1: a good guy becomes a bad guy. So John Cena,

33:19 Speaker 1: during his final year in WWE became for a short time,

33:23 Speaker 1: he became a bad guy. He became a villain, which

33:26 Speaker 1: I thought was very entertaining, but not everyone liked it.

33:28 Speaker 1: But anyway, so John Cena is pretty relevant these days

33:32 Speaker 1: on multiple levels. He apparently he just was on the

33:36 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan podcast Joe Rogan. I mean, I know his

33:40 Speaker 1: stock has fallen a little bit, but he's still one

33:43 Speaker 1: of the if not the biggest podcasts in the world.

33:45 Speaker 1: And Johnsena was just on there. So John Cen is

33:48 Speaker 1: very relevant right now. But this theme song that he's

33:52 Speaker 1: been using for twenty years, apparently there is a problem

33:56 Speaker 1: with the sample the horn section. Now I should what

33:59 Speaker 1: I'll do is I should have had this ready, but

34:03 Speaker 1: let me grab his theme song, The Time is Now.

34:08 Speaker 1: I think he says in the song you can't see

34:10 Speaker 1: me the Time is Now, because that's you know, his

34:12 Speaker 1: thing too, you can't see me? Okay. I thought it

34:16 Speaker 1: was called My Time is Now, but apparently it's actually

34:18 Speaker 1: called The Time is Now. So there's there's horns in it,

34:21 Speaker 1: even though it's a hip hop song. Let's see here

34:24 Speaker 1: it is The Time is now I'll just play a

34:26 Speaker 1: little bit of it for you. Why does this have

34:28 Speaker 1: a parental advisory on it? There's no? Uh, all right, well,

34:31 Speaker 1: here's definitely a clean version. I was gonna say, I

34:32 Speaker 1: don't think there's any swears in it. Here's a clean this.

34:35 Speaker 1: This one's definitely clean though, except there might be a

34:38 Speaker 1: commercial to sit through before I play this. But just

34:41 Speaker 1: so if you're not familiar with the song, so you

34:43 Speaker 1: can hear the horns, I don't hear anything. Oh, here

34:49 Speaker 1: we go, hang on, all right, here it comes. You

34:57 Speaker 1: can hear the horns right.

35:08 Speaker 5: Now.

35:11 Speaker 1: Okay, so he actually does say my Time is Now,

35:13 Speaker 1: but the song is called the Time is Now. All right,

35:16 Speaker 1: let's pause that. Uh so there's an uncleared sample on

35:22 Speaker 1: that apparently. So here's the here's the article again. This

35:27 Speaker 1: is from Billboard. WWE superstar and actor John Cena is

35:30 Speaker 1: facing a lawsuit over the iconic horn riff from his

35:34 Speaker 1: entrance theme, The Time is Now. A questionable legal case,

35:38 Speaker 1: but one that shines a light on a tortured history

35:41 Speaker 1: of samples and credits behind the famed song. That's interesting.

35:46 Speaker 1: So apparently there have been other legal issues with the

35:48 Speaker 1: song that I was not aware of it, says the

35:50 Speaker 1: lawsuit was filed by the daughter of Pete Schofield, who's

35:54 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four recording of The Night the Lights Went

35:57 Speaker 1: Out in Georgia. Everybody knows that song, right, that's an

36:00 Speaker 1: that the Lights Went Out in Georgia is the undisputed

36:04 Speaker 1: source of the blaring horn blasts at the start of

36:08 Speaker 1: Sina's two thousand and five track. In it, she claims

36:11 Speaker 1: that Sina and the WWE failed to properly clear the

36:16 Speaker 1: sample and breached an earlier fifty thousand dollars settlement over

36:21 Speaker 1: the dispute. Now, I did not know. This is news

36:25 Speaker 1: to me. I did not know that that had ever happened.

36:27 Speaker 1: I think they kept it very quiet. I did not

36:30 Speaker 1: know that there was ever a problem established previously over

36:35 Speaker 1: that horn section. I do want to and I didn't

36:38 Speaker 1: know that there was a settlement. Now you might be thinking,

36:40 Speaker 1: though I do know this, You might be thinking, why

36:43 Speaker 1: if this was already settled, why is this coming up again.

36:46 Speaker 1: There's a very good reason. There's a very good reason.

36:48 Speaker 1: But we'll come back to that because I want to

36:51 Speaker 1: pull this up. Now. I know the song the Nights,

36:56 Speaker 1: the Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. I do

36:59 Speaker 1: not know. I can't remember, though, Like I haven't heard

37:04 Speaker 1: it in a long time. Is that like if I

37:07 Speaker 1: pull that song up, which I'm going to do now

37:10 Speaker 1: and we listen to that, are we going to hear

37:13 Speaker 1: that exact? I just want to hear it for myself.

37:16 Speaker 1: Is it really sampled from that? Because I haven't heard

37:19 Speaker 1: that song in forever, But I don't remember hearing in

37:22 Speaker 1: that song, you know the horns. So let's let's find

37:26 Speaker 1: out pets Goofield and the Canadians The Night the Lights

37:33 Speaker 1: Went Out in Georgia. Let's see. I don't know where

37:37 Speaker 1: in the song the horns appear, but let's, uh, let's

37:40 Speaker 1: find out. So this is obviously not the version of

38:20 Speaker 1: the song that we're used to hearing. I can't remember

38:22 Speaker 1: because the version we're used to hearing, the big hit

38:24 Speaker 1: song The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia has vocals.

38:27 Speaker 1: I can't remember who does it, But this is Pete Schofield,

38:30 Speaker 1: you know, jazz musician doing his version of it, which

38:32 Speaker 1: is an instrumental. I'm hearing a lot of horns, and

38:35 Speaker 1: the horns sound similar in tone and timbore to the

38:40 Speaker 1: horns in John Cena's theme. But I don't hear so far.

38:44 Speaker 1: I don't hear that actual.

38:48 Speaker 2: Do you.

38:48 Speaker 1: I don't hear the actual riff. But let's listen to

38:51 Speaker 1: a little bit more of this not hearing it? Where

39:32 Speaker 1: is it? Is it right at the beginning? Because I

39:35 Speaker 1: failed to unmute this right at the beginning. Let's go

39:37 Speaker 1: back to the very beginning. We're not going to listen

39:38 Speaker 1: to a whole thing, I promise, because just kill me.

39:41 Speaker 1: I don't like this kind of stuff. But here, oh,

39:45 Speaker 1: there it is. It's in the beginning. Okay, here, all right, okay, guilty. Yeah,

39:59 Speaker 1: they definitely took from that. All right, no getting around it.

40:04 Speaker 1: I'm glad I went back to the beginning. Let's see,

40:08 Speaker 1: let's go back to this article. Okay, so they settled.

40:11 Speaker 1: They settled that for fifty grand. Now there was more

40:15 Speaker 1: to this article. Let's back up a little bit actually, Okay.

40:23 Speaker 1: So the lawsuit was filed by the daughter of Pete Scofield,

40:27 Speaker 1: who's nineteen seventy four recording is the undisputed source of

40:30 Speaker 1: the Blaring Horns horn blasts at the start of Sina's

40:34 Speaker 1: two thousand and five track. In it, she claims that

40:36 Speaker 1: Sena and the WWE failed to properly clear the sample

40:39 Speaker 1: and reached an earlier fifty thousand dollars settlement over the dispute. Okay,

40:44 Speaker 1: so Kim Schofield writes. This is from her December second

40:51 Speaker 1: lawsuit obtained by Billboard, which names both John Cena and

40:56 Speaker 1: WWE as defendants. Quote. Every effort added informed resolution has

41:01 Speaker 1: been met with threats, misrepresentations, and intimidation tactics, leaving plaintiff

41:06 Speaker 1: with no recourse but to seek relief from this court. Unquote. Now, again,

41:12 Speaker 1: this was previously settled, So why is this coming up again?

41:16 Speaker 1: Says here The time is now, in which SNA wraps

41:18 Speaker 1: over a beat created by producer Jake One was released

41:22 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five by Columbia House Records and

41:24 Speaker 1: WWE Music Group. The track served as a theme song

41:28 Speaker 1: during Sena's rise to superstardom and later became a popular

41:31 Speaker 1: track in social media memes. The track will likely play

41:34 Speaker 1: at some point during his final WWE appearance next week

41:37 Speaker 1: before he retires from wrestling. The song is something of

41:40 Speaker 1: a crediting nightmare. The famed horns are pulled from Schofield's

41:45 Speaker 1: recording of the night went out in Georgia. I'm Sorry

41:48 Speaker 1: the Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia, which is

41:51 Speaker 1: a cover of a composition by songwriter Bobby Russell that's

41:54 Speaker 1: also been released by multiple other artists, including Vicky Lawrence, Oh,

41:58 Speaker 1: Vicky Lawrence, She's the one who had the be hit

42:00 Speaker 1: with it, Vicky Lawrence and Reba McIntyre. Sina song also

42:04 Speaker 1: samples heavily the mop's two thousand hip hop classic Anti Up,

42:08 Speaker 1: which itself drew on samples from Sam and Dave's soul

42:11 Speaker 1: sister Brown Sugar. Yeah, that's a lot of sampling. The

42:18 Speaker 1: complex audio lineage has already led to previous legal battles.

42:21 Speaker 1: Back in two thousand and eight, MOP sued WWE over

42:24 Speaker 1: Sena's use of the Anti Up sample, claiming that they

42:28 Speaker 1: had expressly refused to approve the use of their track

42:32 Speaker 1: and that WWE had cleared it by getting a signature

42:35 Speaker 1: from a receptionist at an unaffiliated company. I didn't know

42:40 Speaker 1: about any of this. This is fascinating, but that case

42:43 Speaker 1: was quickly dropped a few months later on undisclosed terms.

42:49 Speaker 1: In Schofield's lawsuit, filed with the help of lawyers Kim,

42:53 Speaker 1: Schofield paints a complicated picture of her allegations. She says

42:57 Speaker 1: she finally didn't know about see as us use of

43:00 Speaker 1: the song until twenty fifteen, and that they had signed

43:04 Speaker 1: a settlement deal in twenty seventeen. This is important with

43:08 Speaker 1: WWE for fifty thousand dollars covering the sample of the

43:12 Speaker 1: sound recording, but at some point later, she claims, they

43:17 Speaker 1: realized they also owned publishing rights two aspects of Schofield

43:24 Speaker 1: Scofield's nineteen seventy four song that were distinct from Russell's

43:29 Speaker 1: original composition. This get's very complicated. Such allegations could face

43:34 Speaker 1: an uphill climb in court. Decade old claims of copyright

43:37 Speaker 1: infringement could very likely be barred in the statute of

43:41 Speaker 1: Limitations or by earlier settlement. Yeah, I mean copyright law,

43:46 Speaker 1: trademark law, intellectual property law. All of it gets very,

43:49 Speaker 1: very complicated. I find it fascinating. I hope some of

43:52 Speaker 1: you do. It's also not legally clear that Scofield can

43:56 Speaker 1: claim the rights she says she owns, nor that she

43:59 Speaker 1: can blame WWE for the fact that she was unaware

44:02 Speaker 1: of them when she signed the earlier deal. Reps for

44:08 Speaker 1: Sena and the WWE did not immediately return her request

44:11 Speaker 1: for a comment on Friday. In her lawsuit, Schofield says

44:15 Speaker 1: lawyers for WWE told her that the twenty seventeen settlement

44:20 Speaker 1: was final and binding on any claims related to the

44:25 Speaker 1: time is now, and that she could not later reopen

44:28 Speaker 1: negotiations merely because she had seller's remorse. They also allegedly

44:33 Speaker 1: told her that they had fully cleared the sample by

44:36 Speaker 1: inking a license with the heirs of Bobby Russell, the

44:40 Speaker 1: songwriter who wrote the song that Schofield recorded. The lawsuit

44:45 Speaker 1: also names Russell's airs as defendants. The younger Schofield claims

44:50 Speaker 1: they have improperly been receiving the royalties for Sena's use

44:53 Speaker 1: of the sample, and that they have recently threatened to

44:55 Speaker 1: sue her if she does not stop claiming her own

44:58 Speaker 1: rights to the song. The Russell aires could not immediately

45:02 Speaker 1: be located for comment. While cover artists can get sound

45:05 Speaker 1: recording copyrights to their specific performances, they cannot typically claim

45:09 Speaker 1: composition rights a common sense rule, since the underlying music

45:13 Speaker 1: and a cover was necessarily written by someone else. In fact,

45:17 Speaker 1: making substantial changes to the underlying song can turn a

45:21 Speaker 1: legal cover track into an unauthorized derivative. Now, there's something

45:26 Speaker 1: else to this that this article leaves out that I

45:29 Speaker 1: was reading last night, and that is and I'm surprised

45:35 Speaker 1: it's not included in this article. Part of what Kim

45:38 Speaker 1: Schofield is mad about is that she claims that when

45:44 Speaker 1: that fifty thousand dollars settlement was reached, because that seems

45:47 Speaker 1: like a low number to me for this kind of case,

45:50 Speaker 1: when she agreed and her lawyers agreed to that fifty

45:54 Speaker 1: thousand dollars settlement, they were unaware, and she has claimed

45:59 Speaker 1: that WWE and their attorneys intentionally tried to hide this

46:04 Speaker 1: from her. She was unaware that that song was about

46:09 Speaker 1: to be used in a national advertising campaign for I

46:15 Speaker 1: Think It's Toyota, that I Think there were Toyota ads

46:20 Speaker 1: with John Cena's voice in the ad is the voiceover,

46:24 Speaker 1: and that that song is playing in the ad, specifically

46:27 Speaker 1: with that horn riff that's in the ad, and she

46:34 Speaker 1: agreed to that fifty thousand dollars figure, not knowing that

46:39 Speaker 1: two days later, two days after she agreed to that settlement,

46:47 Speaker 1: that ad campaign rolls out and on televisions throughout the

46:50 Speaker 1: United States. People are seeing this ad with that song

46:55 Speaker 1: and that Horns sample in the ad for Toyota and

47:02 Speaker 1: and she claims that they intentionally tried to hide that

47:05 Speaker 1: from her. They concealed that from her because they knew

47:08 Speaker 1: she would ask for a bigger number if she knew

47:11 Speaker 1: that that song was about to be used in a

47:13 Speaker 1: national advertising campaign, a high profile national advertising campaign. So

47:18 Speaker 1: she's mad about that. So that's also part of her

47:20 Speaker 1: claim here. But so there you go. That is again

47:28 Speaker 1: that is from Billboard dot com. So there's a lot there.

47:31 Speaker 1: All right, we are going to begin to wrap up.

47:34 Speaker 1: I want to fit in one more track from the Fods,

47:38 Speaker 1: great song called Shopping. This was the first single that

47:41 Speaker 1: we ever played for them on the show. But again
