0:31 Speaker 2: We've just been sitting at our medzams and stuff like that,

0:35 Speaker 2: so we're all very very very tired. But you know what, Matt,

0:39 Speaker 2: I've not given up.

0:41 Speaker 1: Matt.

0:41 Speaker 2: I knew that it was your show and I would

0:43 Speaker 2: not miss this for the world.

0:45 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Wow, you're making me feel great. Well,

0:47 Speaker 1: thank you, Luke. I appreciate that. I appreciate you guys

0:49 Speaker 1: very much.

0:49 Speaker 2: Welcome, my friends, very welcome.

0:52 Speaker 1: Love that song. Let's Party Like It's the nineties, And

0:55 Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember what it was like to

0:57 Speaker 1: party in the nineties. To the accepent that I did

1:00 Speaker 1: actually party, which wasn't very much because I'm not a partier.

1:02 Speaker 1: But but I mean, let's start with the obvious question though,

1:07 Speaker 1: So what what's what's that about? I mean, uh what?

1:10 Speaker 1: Or I guess it's obvious what's it about? But what

1:12 Speaker 1: was the genesis of that track?

1:14 Speaker 2: What?

1:14 Speaker 1: Uh? What made you want to write that?

1:17 Speaker 2: So? I remember being in school and I was in

1:20 Speaker 2: history class, and I have these notes where like I'd

1:23 Speaker 2: get bored, but I get so bored that I naturally

1:26 Speaker 2: just sow now, and I remember feeling so bored, so

1:29 Speaker 2: I just went, you know what, I want to party.

1:31 Speaker 2: I want to go out with my friends. I'm sick

1:34 Speaker 2: of doing this. I want to just have a good time.

1:37 Speaker 2: And then the let's party like it's the nineties bit

1:40 Speaker 2: just hit him up my mind. And then history class

1:43 Speaker 2: was where I wrote the first ever chorus of that song,

1:47 Speaker 2: where it's like, let's party like it's the nineties. So

1:51 Speaker 2: so it was all about me stuck in school, me

1:55 Speaker 2: stuck in real life and wanted to leave real life.

1:58 Speaker 2: And now the best night as humanly can.

2:01 Speaker 1: Very good, very good. So it sounds like the song

2:03 Speaker 1: came pretty quick. So was it. I mean, did you

2:05 Speaker 1: literally write the entire thing during history class or did

2:08 Speaker 1: you just get the chorus and you got the rest

2:09 Speaker 1: of it later.

2:11 Speaker 2: So when history class, I got the chorus, and then

2:14 Speaker 2: after that I went home. I had some lovely McDonald's

2:18 Speaker 2: when I got home, some lovely chitten nor dirts and fries.

2:22 Speaker 2: And after that I sat down and then the verses

2:24 Speaker 2: just came straight at me.

2:26 Speaker 1: Oh interesting. Interesting, by the way, so I mentioned I

2:30 Speaker 1: don't know if you were listening, but I mentioned at

2:32 Speaker 1: the top of the show. So I have a very

2:34 Speaker 1: close friend who is British who tells me that McDonald's

2:36 Speaker 1: is very different there and that it's much higher quality

2:38 Speaker 1: than in the United States.

2:40 Speaker 2: It is, it is, It is no offense. But I

2:44 Speaker 2: had been to America. I have been to what was

2:47 Speaker 2: the world's biggest McDonald's in Florida, and I must admit

2:52 Speaker 2: the English one I don't I don't want to say

2:55 Speaker 2: it's more fancier, but like they put more efforts into

2:59 Speaker 2: the meals, which I don't really know. I mean, like

3:02 Speaker 2: McDonald's standards isn't quite high, but I must admit the

3:08 Speaker 2: mule quality duels a lot better. So no offense. To

3:11 Speaker 2: the American viewers. But if this, but if British McDonald's

3:18 Speaker 2: like made to want or to would come to England,

3:21 Speaker 2: then absolutely go for it. Turn over and try our onus.

3:25 Speaker 2: But dot donald's is it's absolutely lovely, very.

3:28 Speaker 1: Good, very good. Yeah, we eat a lot of Maybe

3:31 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say this. It's a very patriotic holiday in

3:33 Speaker 1: the United States, obviously, but we we do it a

3:35 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of garbage. It is July fourth, yes, yes,

3:41 Speaker 1: and I and I did say at the top of

3:43 Speaker 1: the show. And because I have all all UK artists

3:46 Speaker 1: on the show today, which I did not plan it

3:48 Speaker 1: that way. It's just how it worked out. But so

3:52 Speaker 1: so you're the you're the first on the on the

3:54 Speaker 1: roster today.

3:54 Speaker 2: But God bless God bless England and God bless America.

3:58 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, well, you know, I mean, obviously, uh, you guys,

4:03 Speaker 1: there have been a huge influence in our music, you know,

4:06 Speaker 1: without the you know, we talked about the British Invasion,

4:10 Speaker 1: British invasion bands, you know, all those bands that help

4:12 Speaker 1: shape American music. So we owe you that.

4:16 Speaker 2: Well, you are very very welcome. We're welcome. She's not

4:22 Speaker 2: Paul John Ringo and all those huge of those well

4:27 Speaker 2: almost in America. Oh wait, sorry, not right. So in England,

4:32 Speaker 2: jely to Thought is a bit different here as July

4:37 Speaker 2: to Fort Fair is actually celebrating so one year anniversary

4:41 Speaker 2: of Oasist coming back, so for all, it's like National

4:45 Speaker 2: Oacist Day here. So kidding, I'm celebrating. Now.

4:49 Speaker 1: How do you feel about Oasis? They're one of my

4:50 Speaker 1: favorite bands? But you know when I when I talk

4:53 Speaker 1: to people from uh that that side of the pond,

4:56 Speaker 1: shall we say, I get mixed reactions. Some people are

4:59 Speaker 1: kind of sick of them, and some people love them obviously,

5:02 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you feel about Oasis?

5:04 Speaker 2: I mean personally for me, they're one of the most

5:07 Speaker 2: influential bands on the planet. And the thing is, what

5:10 Speaker 2: I find is that people who say that, oh no,

5:13 Speaker 2: I don't really like Oasis have only listened to Underwall

5:17 Speaker 2: and called it a day like if you actually go

5:19 Speaker 2: into the details, and obviously like I was there when

5:23 Speaker 2: they're told the UK and and died from Manchester, but

5:27 Speaker 2: but I went to London, which is like I sit

5:29 Speaker 2: hour drive to them, and I generally a bursted it

5:32 Speaker 2: into tears my song live it was one of the

5:35 Speaker 2: greatest days of my life. So were people who say

5:37 Speaker 2: they don't like Oasis. I guess they're a bit like

5:41 Speaker 2: posers in a way, well like don't pretend to know stuff,

5:44 Speaker 2: but really listen to to Underwall and and and don't

5:50 Speaker 2: know Batnanda. So if if not truly listen to them,

5:53 Speaker 2: go into their back catalog, listen to the master Plan,

5:57 Speaker 2: which is all their B sides, yes, and truly get

6:00 Speaker 2: into them. As no offense to people who don't like

6:04 Speaker 2: Oasis but actually listen to them, it's incredible. I agree, Yeah,

6:08 Speaker 2: at least that's my thoughts on it.

6:10 Speaker 1: My My my favorite Oasis song is Aquies, which, as

6:13 Speaker 1: you know, was the B side.

6:14 Speaker 2: Oh well that was actually the song set I started

6:17 Speaker 2: cry not actually no, no kidding the song. I was like, yes, no,

6:22 Speaker 2: love it, yes, it's actually opening, and just burst into TEMs.

6:26 Speaker 2: That was the actual on that side, crying on.

6:28 Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome. Was that on the reunion tour that

6:30 Speaker 1: they did over there or was that before?

6:34 Speaker 2: Yes it was, yes, it was. It was the second

6:37 Speaker 2: song van the set list.

6:40 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, oh that's awesome. I'm so jealous. I've

6:44 Speaker 1: never seen them, never seen them live, so So what

6:48 Speaker 1: artists influenced that song? That's party like it's the nineties,

6:51 Speaker 1: Like did you have were there any particular artists that

6:53 Speaker 1: you had in mind, like maybe nineties artists or artists

6:55 Speaker 1: from any time period that influenced the song or did

6:58 Speaker 1: the song just kind of form in your brain and

7:00 Speaker 1: and it came out how it came out?

7:03 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's a it's a bit strangers obviously

7:06 Speaker 2: in my brain, like sometimes it does, it does just

7:09 Speaker 2: flow out. But there's a brick. But there's a British

7:11 Speaker 2: band called the wan Bats and they have a song

7:14 Speaker 2: called Let's Dance the Joy Division, which is basically like

7:17 Speaker 2: Let's Party like the nineties, but ten times better and

7:22 Speaker 2: so like, so like I was listening to that and

7:24 Speaker 2: I was like, Wow, that's great and the song sort

7:27 Speaker 2: of feels like if the wan Bats and the Buzzcocks

7:32 Speaker 2: had kids and then that kids could perform like Robbie Williams.

7:37 Speaker 2: Like that's the kind of vibe like the song of

7:40 Speaker 2: gives So yeah. To be honest, the music that sort

7:43 Speaker 2: of inspires me is sort of like more modern music,

7:46 Speaker 2: like like Love of Life. I tried to think of

7:49 Speaker 2: some American bands which with which like have inspired me,

7:54 Speaker 2: like Tie two to like I Love like they're like

7:57 Speaker 2: my did did different alter. But like, the British indie

8:02 Speaker 2: scene at the moment is incredible. We've got bands like

8:05 Speaker 2: The Roys and Club the Key, so you've probably never

8:08 Speaker 2: ever heard of, but there should be so much bigger

8:11 Speaker 2: as they are incredible. So the music that's bagging the

8:14 Speaker 2: most is like the New Ones. It's almost like it's

8:18 Speaker 2: almost like we're all friends and we're all like taking

8:20 Speaker 2: our ideas for each other and turn it into our own.

8:23 Speaker 2: So the song sort of came from like my brain

8:27 Speaker 2: just wanting to be partying and ah, so just all

8:30 Speaker 2: of the modern new music that's out now.

8:33 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. I imagine it gets a good response

8:36 Speaker 1: live too. People probably sing along.

8:38 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, I mean, like I remember, it was

8:42 Speaker 2: like a few days be before the song that actually

8:45 Speaker 2: came out, we played a gig and obviously we'd be

8:48 Speaker 2: teasing it for like four weeks with the course and

8:50 Speaker 2: stuff like that, and people and people started like proper

8:55 Speaker 2: sending it back to us, And to be completely honest,

8:57 Speaker 2: I pried like life an absolute baby. But when it happened,

9:00 Speaker 2: it's never ever happened before. Yeah, and and yet honestly,

9:04 Speaker 2: it was just one of the It was honestly just

9:08 Speaker 2: one of the greatest moments of my life and that

9:11 Speaker 2: I can never ever ever thanks that those people who

9:14 Speaker 2: changed that good you know.

9:16 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's you know, I'm a musician, and

9:18 Speaker 1: I know that it's when when you see people reacting

9:22 Speaker 1: to your music and jumping around and whatever, that's that's

9:25 Speaker 1: obviously very validating. But when they actually know the words

9:27 Speaker 1: and they start singing or they learned the words because

9:29 Speaker 1: obviously you can learn that chorus uh pretty quickly, you know,

9:32 Speaker 1: and they're so engaged and involved in it that they're

9:35 Speaker 1: actually singing along. I mean that's that is an incredible feeling,

9:37 Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt.

9:39 Speaker 2: Uh So, well, my ego got boosted somch I mean

9:42 Speaker 2: I went from like being Lapatini's kid to acting like

9:45 Speaker 2: Liam Gallagher and like ten steps like Maido went from

9:48 Speaker 2: zero to a thousand and then came straight down again.

9:52 Speaker 2: When we played I was on and no one knew

9:54 Speaker 2: the word it was. It was just such a great moment.

9:58 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. Are you us playing a lot of shows?

10:02 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, Like we're Honestly,

10:06 Speaker 2: I love being in this band so much as every

10:09 Speaker 2: weekend almost we go out and we play outside of

10:12 Speaker 2: our hometown of Bolton, which I know for some people

10:15 Speaker 2: sounds sounds like the norm, but really it isn't. Like

10:18 Speaker 2: we have lots of friends and musicians who we are

10:20 Speaker 2: in Bolton who like once a year they might go

10:24 Speaker 2: to Sheffield, which is like in our to to hour

10:28 Speaker 2: try from Bolton, Judjo Joe, just your American listeners, and

10:32 Speaker 2: it's incredible, Like we make new fans, we meet new people,

10:37 Speaker 2: and we actually have our biggest head headline show at

10:41 Speaker 2: a venue in Manchester called the Death Institute, and we're

10:45 Speaker 2: so close to selling out and that's going to be

10:48 Speaker 2: like a really big party for us. So every week

10:52 Speaker 2: weekend we're playing in new cities, new places and making

10:57 Speaker 2: new friends. And it's the best job in the entire world.

11:01 Speaker 2: And I cannot be more grateful that on this earth,

11:05 Speaker 2: I'm given this life to do this job and it's

11:08 Speaker 2: the best feeling ever and I wouldn't change it for anything.

11:11 Speaker 2: So every week it's constant gigs and gigs and I'll

11:14 Speaker 2: love it.

11:15 Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome, that's fantastic. And how long have you

11:18 Speaker 1: guys been around, because I know you're very young, right,

11:20 Speaker 1: has this band has this spand been around for long

11:23 Speaker 1: or is it relatively new?

11:25 Speaker 2: I mean it depends what your early classes knew was

11:28 Speaker 2: we've been technically if we've been around for two years,

11:31 Speaker 2: but we released that first single last year, so I

11:35 Speaker 2: would say that definitely in the Bolton scene in our hometown,

11:39 Speaker 2: we've been around for a decent bit. But I think

11:41 Speaker 2: to some people, like two years are still quite new. Yeah,

11:45 Speaker 2: So I think it just depends what you define you as. Yeah.

11:49 Speaker 1: Yeah, did the sound like when you when you formed

11:52 Speaker 1: the band? I mean did the sound come together pretty quickly?

11:55 Speaker 1: I mean, as it changed in that short period of

11:58 Speaker 1: time or did you sound like you sound from the beginning?

12:01 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, it has changed. I cannot watch some

12:05 Speaker 2: of those old videos really. I mean like I mean,

12:09 Speaker 2: like we used to do like ten Green Day covers

12:11 Speaker 2: in one set, and I was like, what we're doing?

12:14 Speaker 2: So like people who sort of say like, oh, no,

12:17 Speaker 2: you're born with talent, You're not. You need to work

12:20 Speaker 2: on that talent, like like yeah, So, like we've worked

12:23 Speaker 2: hard and we've tried to like craft our own humique sound.

12:26 Speaker 2: There's a lot of bands. Oh, I want to sound

12:29 Speaker 2: like the Rolling Stones, I want to sound like t

12:32 Speaker 2: X two. But like, we don't want to be the

12:35 Speaker 2: second Green Day, we want to be the first radio addicts. Yeah,

12:39 Speaker 2: and that's all we want to be. So yeah, it's

12:43 Speaker 2: definitely taken work, Like you have to work to find

12:46 Speaker 2: your sound. If it comes naturally, then I envy you

12:49 Speaker 2: so much, as it's taken a lot of hard work

12:51 Speaker 2: to try and find our sound.

12:53 Speaker 1: Right, right, And where does the name come from? By

12:56 Speaker 1: the way, the radio addicts, I mean, you know, I

12:58 Speaker 1: don't know if there's a story behind it, or if

13:00 Speaker 1: it's there is.

13:01 Speaker 2: A story behind it, my friend story behind it? Right,

13:05 Speaker 2: So my mom, right, I love her obviously, so so,

13:08 Speaker 2: so so much. But in the car she listens to

13:11 Speaker 2: this radio station. Now I won't say the name of

13:13 Speaker 2: this radio station, but it is not good, Like, honestly,

13:19 Speaker 2: it's utterly terrible. It's the same ten pop songs on

13:23 Speaker 2: loop and then they have Throwback Thursday and stuff like that,

13:29 Speaker 2: where it's just another of those same pop songs repeated

13:33 Speaker 2: on loop. And honestly, it's it's honestly awful, right, And

13:37 Speaker 2: so like when I formed the bands, like I don't

13:42 Speaker 2: in my mum's car and I was like, oh, not

13:43 Speaker 2: this radio station again, And in my mind I went,

13:47 Speaker 2: I really wish I could be addicted to the radio.

13:49 Speaker 2: And they went, oh my goodness. So it was almost

13:53 Speaker 2: like like you know how in like Disney Channel movies,

13:57 Speaker 2: so they have like light bulb moments, it's like really

14:00 Speaker 2: dramatic like that. Oh yeah, you know, I want to

14:04 Speaker 2: read it to the radio raisers. That's it. So yeah,

14:08 Speaker 2: So that's how the name came.

14:10 Speaker 1: It's such a cool name. It's it's such a cool name.

14:13 Speaker 1: It's it's almost surprising that somebody didn't already have it,

14:16 Speaker 1: you know, but that's great, thank you. Yeah.

14:19 Speaker 2: Well, well the radio is so is is so important

14:24 Speaker 2: and that's the reason why like like like streaming music

14:28 Speaker 2: is good and we get like a bunch of music

14:31 Speaker 2: at our fit fit fingertips. But I don't want to

14:34 Speaker 2: lose radio, like genuinely now that I found like my

14:38 Speaker 2: favorite radio station like yours, Matt, like like like I

14:42 Speaker 2: don't want it to go. It's why I'm always on

14:47 Speaker 2: the radio to doing interviews. I'm always about local radio station.

14:51 Speaker 2: I'm what was listening to to Radio X in Manchester

14:54 Speaker 2: is I don't want these radio stations to go. They're

14:57 Speaker 2: so important and people don't really lies how much of

15:01 Speaker 2: our lives are made up from radio.

15:03 Speaker 1: Absolutely, uh, you know. And there's some people who thought

15:06 Speaker 1: that radio would be dead by now, you know, because

15:08 Speaker 1: that's technology, you know, because of streaming and podcasts and everything.

15:12 Speaker 1: But it's still thriving. It's definitely changed, you know, and

15:14 Speaker 1: and obviously the radio has had to adapt, you know,

15:18 Speaker 1: like like all the shows now, like this show for example,

15:21 Speaker 1: obviously we're you know, we're on live on FM radio

15:23 Speaker 1: in our area, but we're also streaming, you know, and

15:26 Speaker 1: then it goes up as a podcast, and but you know,

15:28 Speaker 1: you just it's just a matter of adapting. But but

15:30 Speaker 1: I agree with you radio is very important.

15:33 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Like one thing I found with like radio

15:36 Speaker 2: stations is that like it's now like listen online or

15:39 Speaker 2: watch online now, yeah you have to type in the

15:42 Speaker 2: website and with some life, which I thought was quite cool.

15:45 Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't want river radiostever. It should not

15:49 Speaker 2: be become a niche. It should stay mainstream. But that's

15:53 Speaker 2: just my opinion obviously.

15:54 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent, and obviously I'm biased, but I

15:58 Speaker 1: don't want all this to go away over but yeah,

16:02 Speaker 1: no I don't. I don't think it's going anywhere. So

16:05 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about so in a in

16:07 Speaker 1: a moment, we're going to well, after we wrap up

16:11 Speaker 1: our conversation, I'm going to play another song from yours.

16:13 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play this song, Scroll my Life Away, at

16:16 Speaker 1: the conclusion of our our conversation. But oh absolutely, this

16:21 Speaker 1: is another great song. But I want to know more

16:22 Speaker 1: about this song and what inspired it, because it sounds

16:25 Speaker 1: like it's very uh you know, I take it as

16:29 Speaker 1: as kind of a critique of of because obviously this

16:33 Speaker 1: is a global problem, not just in the US, but

16:35 Speaker 1: there as well. You know, people kind of addicted to

16:38 Speaker 1: their phones and social media and all of that, and

16:41 Speaker 1: and scrolling. You know, we call it doom scrolling. I

16:43 Speaker 1: don't know if that's the term you use over there, but.

16:45 Speaker 2: Definitely that is that is not just just just marm

16:52 Speaker 2: scrolling is in England in the UK, don't worry, it's

16:56 Speaker 2: the same.

16:58 Speaker 1: So I mean, I I ssume that's what inspired the

17:01 Speaker 1: song Scroll my Life Away.

17:03 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well, the thing is is that, like I

17:06 Speaker 2: remember one time I was a bit younger, but but

17:10 Speaker 2: I was in like a restaurant and I saw like

17:13 Speaker 2: three tables of like families, and like all of them

17:17 Speaker 2: had liked these like four year olds and these big

17:19 Speaker 2: iPads and these big cases holding it up. And now

17:22 Speaker 2: just like just scrolling and watching videos and like tapping

17:25 Speaker 2: the streams and not like getting invested into real life.

17:29 Speaker 2: And then and then and then like more I looked around,

17:33 Speaker 2: I saw teenagers strolling. I saw that you had to

17:37 Speaker 2: order on a screen, and I was like, what what what,

17:41 Speaker 2: what's like happening and stuff like that and now and

17:44 Speaker 2: I was just like and I'm stunned as obviously, like

17:47 Speaker 2: when the phone first came out, no nobody thought thought

17:51 Speaker 2: it would be this big. And there are positives to

17:53 Speaker 2: the Internet, like like like the raids have grown because

17:59 Speaker 2: of the Internet with new fanst class the Internet. But

18:02 Speaker 2: it's it steals time, that's the main thing. It steals

18:06 Speaker 2: time from younger kids to live their life. And it

18:10 Speaker 2: scares me on how much it's changed and how much

18:14 Speaker 2: worse it's sort of getting so strong. My life way

18:17 Speaker 2: is sort of like me just venting on what is

18:20 Speaker 2: going on and with the there's nothing interesting anymore. But

18:24 Speaker 2: it's almost like a character almost going like like there's

18:30 Speaker 2: nothing interest anymore. I've done so much, I've stroll so much,

18:33 Speaker 2: there's literally nothing, like my brain's fried. It's so it's

18:37 Speaker 2: sort of like it's sort of like me voicing through

18:40 Speaker 2: a character, what is going on here? Come on, let

18:44 Speaker 2: let's sort of stroke, grow up from a touch some grass,

18:49 Speaker 2: go outside. Yeah, like it's sort of just don't come on, guys,

18:52 Speaker 2: just grow up a bit. Come on in that opinion.

18:56 Speaker 1: Well, it's to your credit to you know that that

18:59 Speaker 1: because I know you guys are young, that you know

19:01 Speaker 1: someone your age, uh perceives that, and and because you

19:04 Speaker 1: know it's easy for me to see it, like because

19:06 Speaker 1: I'm I'm Generation X. My generation was the last generation

19:10 Speaker 1: to really kind of grow up without the Internet. And

19:12 Speaker 1: so so I remember, I sort of remember. It's almost

19:16 Speaker 1: kind of surreal remembering life pre Internet. And don't get

19:19 Speaker 1: me wrong, I love what we have now. You know,

19:22 Speaker 1: I don't so much of what I do I wouldn't

19:23 Speaker 1: be able to do without the Internet. So and I

19:25 Speaker 1: love that I can access music, you know, easily, and

19:28 Speaker 1: every everything about it is wonderful. But but yeah, you

19:31 Speaker 1: do see you see people with their heads and their phones,

19:33 Speaker 1: you know, or or a common problem here is I'll

19:36 Speaker 1: be uh, I'll be at an intersection and uh, the

19:39 Speaker 1: light will turn from red to green, but the car

19:41 Speaker 1: in front of me isn't moving, and and you know,

19:44 Speaker 1: a few seconds. You know, I'm a patient guy, so

19:46 Speaker 1: I'll give them a few seconds. But then I end

19:47 Speaker 1: up having to hank that horn because and I know

19:50 Speaker 1: what it is. They're looking at their phone.
