Who.IAm & Thraxx | Matt Connarton Unleashed

0:00 Speaker 1: And right now we have who I Am and Thrax, who have both been on the show before multiple times actually, but in but in different, uh different configurations. This is the first time the two of you have been on together and you've got this new collaboration hot Wax, the brand new EP. Congratulations on that, thanks so much, absolutely absolutely what uh what brought this about? That the two of you working together? I saw you play live. I think it was at oh was that Jewel spelfy Fest spelfie Fest, and uh that was And that was the first time I knew that the two of you were working together when I when I saw you on stage together and what was that was at the beginning of this or they're working together.

0:38 Speaker 2: Prior to that?

0:39 Speaker 3: It was about our fifth I think that was our fifth. We're around there, I mean, at least from this side of the fence. That first of all, good morning.

0:51 Speaker 4: You guys, Yes, you guys. Good morning j J.

0:54 Speaker 3: Matt Well, thank you, good morning, good morning. I think this this was like a spur of the moment thing because I you can probably correct me if I'm wrong, but we were kind of like morphing the idea of like me filling in for a couple of like live shows, yeah, last year as let's see what would like what would happen? Yeah, and at least from your side of the fence. I think that's how it started. Where what was it? The first one at the Jungle, right.

1:27 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the Jungle. I mean I was, you know, I was playing solo shows.

1:33 Speaker 3: And for a long time for yeah, I go, oh, yeah.

1:37 Speaker 4: So he's twenty eighteen. It's twenty seventeen. I've been Yeah, you even came here and playing, Yeah, did your whole great time here to playing solo set? And of course I have keyboards, so I have, you know, instruments that I backtrack, and so I saw that tracks was available and as far as looking to do stuff, and I was, I'm looking to, you know, bolster up my sound live and make it, you know, make it come out pop more. And so I reached out to Thracks and staid, do you be interested in playing live with me?

2:12 Speaker 4: And yeah, It's like sure, why not? Yeah? And so I sent him some some tracks and stuff, demo stuff to go over and you know, I kind of already was in my groove and so you know, thankfully Thrax leaned into it and really really picked up the songs like incredibly fast. Yeah, and then we like I like to say, you know, we're really born live because that's the first thing we ever did was play live together before we even practice.

2:48 Speaker 1: When you reached out to him, did you did were you confident that he was going to say yes? Or because obviously he's in Because I think there's that even a federal law now that every drummer has to be in like fifteen different bands at the same time.

3:00 Speaker 4: Is yeah, there is currently. Yeah, it's hard to get around that. Yeah, I was. I knew, of course, I met tracks and been on bills with tracks and several different variations Cosmic Bank, d H and so you know, I knew tracks. But you know, it was just the time when he did. He didn't have five.

3:25 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was in a wole period. I was only in like two projects.

3:30 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so, you know, I was saying, so like, I'm an opportunist, I'm a di y queen. So that's how I roll. And I'm always looking around and saying, you know, and I want to you know, I've tried to play with other artists and I've you know, I have played with other artists in different situations, and it really never has totally worked out. Yeah, and so I was hoping, you know, that it would with tracks because I know he's a great drummer and and so so we we gave it a go, which it's just like, yeah, give it a go, see what happens, you know, do some live stuff, have fun deal.

4:14 Speaker 3: Yeah, And then that's where our coin our coin motto of uh, just like we rehearsed because we didn't really have time to get together the first time to rehearse anything really, so like I had to just listen to some of the songs that she had on for a list, and we we we met up at the well, we met up at the gig and then tried it out.

4:42 Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, Like the first musical thing we ever did was a live show at Jungle.

4:46 Speaker 2: Oh wow, no kidding. Where where's that by the way?

4:49 Speaker 4: Jungle Jungle that's the Summerville Summerville down in Boston music little music community stage. It's actually one of the one of the best under two hundred people places that you can actually you know, get a live stage, a real stage experience. Okay, that's my legit feeling about the job. They got a great sound in one of the best stages for under two hundred people.

5:16 Speaker 2: No kidding, Okay, I didn't even know about it, but that that's good to know. Yeah.

5:19 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're always you know, they're always putting people. I've I've played there several times. We played there about three twice.

5:28 Speaker 3: I think the last time we played was with what trash Robot and what was the that that that older gentleman's band.

5:40 Speaker 4: Shoot, I can't remember. It was uh oh the trees Fantastic Trees.

5:45 Speaker 3: Fantastic trees so good.

5:48 Speaker 5: Yeah.

5:49 Speaker 3: So like it's definitely eclectic out there for for the what indie scene, indie rock scene.

5:57 Speaker 4: Well yeah, and I feel like when we played, like after people would come up to us and like give us positive feedback. Yeah, you know, never got like just the courtesy feedback. It was always how long have you guys been playing together?

6:14 Speaker 3: Yeah?

6:14 Speaker 4: Cool?

6:18 Speaker 3: Someone actually show and said that, like, like, how long have you guys been playing? It sounds like years.

6:23 Speaker 2: Oh that's cool.

6:25 Speaker 3: Yeah, we ran with it great. Yeah, and and and then I think like, what after our third third show, that's when we had our practice.

6:34 Speaker 4: Yeah wow, right, and then we actually practice, We're like, yeah, we still doing good practice too.

6:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.

6:44 Speaker 3: Figure, that's great.

6:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean it takes you know, a lot of effort. I know on traxis part because you know, some of my songs have already kind of predetermined, you know, how it goes, and so you know, it takes a special kind of drummer that can do that and then add their own you know, power to it. Yeah, and that's I feel like that's what came across, has come across in our album Hot Wax. Is you know, the the solidity, the solidness of the drumming elevates the songs and the music and everything I do. And it's like it makes me thrilled.

7:33 Speaker 4: I've listened to these songs on Hot Wax a thousand times. Yeah, and I'm listening for to critique myself, and I'm just like enjoying it every time.

7:41 Speaker 1: Is it just easier too, from a from a technical standpoint when you're playing live?

7:45 Speaker 2: Is just easier to have a live drummer?

7:48 Speaker 5: Uh?

7:48 Speaker 4: No, No, it would be really really no. It would be easier just to have my keyboards just follow into whatever the heck I want them to do. And that was easier, just like I could stop in the middle of my and as long as I held the right notes, the right chords, you know it would hold for me. I mean with humans. You know, you can't put humans in a holding pattern. You know, a song is a song and it moves along. It doesn't stop like because you know you feel like it to stop right unless you do. But otherwise, you know, you got to keep moving.

8:26 Speaker 4: And there's a there's a rhythm and a syncopation and a synergy that comes along with playing with a live person versus yeah, say my my drum track okay, yeah, okay yeah, And so it just takes it takes more effort to do that, to combine the two, but it's more rewarding two to have it, you know, come out or you know, people are like, oh my goodness, you guys come from right right.

8:57 Speaker 2: It does.

8:57 Speaker 3: It helps, no doubt.

8:59 Speaker 4: You know, we can tell things that people can't tell.

9:01 Speaker 1: Ye, now tracts for you? Is this the most unique thing you've done in terms of music? You've done a lot of different different projects, But I mean, is this because because who I am? I mean, this is you know, it's unique. I can't think of anybody who sounds quite like who I am?

9:14 Speaker 3: Correct, And I think yes, because like I'm usually predominantly punk or rock metal something, so this is like a a first chance into like electro pop or something of dance music esque, like a discotheche type of genre. And like Lacy has a lot of different areas that it's not even just dance music. There's like messages and there's you know, uplifting stuff, and there's everything that you ever need or want out of like a dance song or a pop song. Like even even the song that reminds me of the Guerrillas.

9:56 Speaker 3: It's not on the on the EP, but like your other song, your regular song, than true, it reminds me of like something that the Gorillas would do back in the day, and like and that's like something that's not categorizable. That like the thing the uniqueness of at least coming out with something that's not traditional is kind of things that I gravitate towards no matter what, whether it be pop or rock or whatever. It is, Like I don't fall into traditional stuff, Like I like alternative stuff. I like anything that's a little bit risque or a little bit rough around the edge is case in points yes, but also case and point shout out.

10:43 Speaker 4: Shout out to.

10:44 Speaker 3: Frankie Frankie from the Melted Chapsticks, who we are performing with later at a Poty Saburn in Asna. But I like the way that he goes about music as well, that you know, he doesn't hold to a traditional standard of like I'm going to play punk music and this is what it is like it's its own feel, the own its own vibe. Yeah, the same thing, same thing for your for your music, La, seeing that, like you have a very confident, confident with what you're creating. And I and I I like a person that's willing to go outside of the box, willing to go outside of the the thinking pattern and like, oh what if I just do this?

11:30 Speaker 3: Or what would happen if I do this? So is it the most unique thing that I've done? More more than likely? Yes, as a as a broad statement, but I like this type of uniqueness that makes sense.

11:44 Speaker 2: Oh it totally does. Yeah, absolutely well.

11:46 Speaker 1: By the way, on Facebook, Andrea Dumont is in the Facebook LA chat and says good morning family. Good I love that Andre, of course, from Dad Harrison, whom you're in a band with. So why the name Thracks?

12:00 Speaker 2: Why use a different name for this and where does the name tracks come from? I'm super curious about this.

12:04 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course I know this is this is what happens when you have friends in the industry and they start asking you actual questions. Yeah, so my name is Axel obviously, Uh, everybody knows at least more more often than not, more people know me as Axel. Yeah, even before then if the real people know me as Smitty Smitty werbin Yiegerman Jensen.

12:28 Speaker 2: That's a long name. Is that Swedish or what.

12:30 Speaker 3: He was number one? Wow, it's a SpongeBob reference. Okay, but like only only only true o G. Manchester people would know that. But yeah, my name is Axel, and that's just how I was given that name. Yeah, but like I don't like it how it's associated with Rose every bleeping time.

12:55 Speaker 2: Every time, and you don't even spell it the same way.

12:57 Speaker 3: No, of course not. But I couldn't be associated with with actual Foley or anybody else. It has to be. But ever since I was a kid, ever since I was a kid, it's what's your last name? Rose? Like, I can't tell you how many times I've I've heard that, even to this day, even to this day, it's a thing. I'm kind of sick of it.

13:18 Speaker 2: I don't blame you.

13:19 Speaker 3: So that being said, like I've been trying to more or less come up with a different moniker to get away from that. But that wasn't cheesy something that like at least it was mine that I can like step away from from that. So I guess, like worldwide, I guess, uh premiering this that that's my middle name. Oh thras is my actual middle name, no kidding, So it was given that wowweet And I mean you can you can summarize your own opinions about it, but like it literally came came from the band Anthrax. Yeah, that was my my mom's favorite band, or no, that was my my biological father's favorite band.

14:07 Speaker 3: And Axel Rose because my mom loved guns and roses appetite for destruction. I swear to you that with with with those two, like I've been using axel for so long. Yeah, I'm like, Axel is a cool name. I guess, I guess.

14:24 Speaker 2: And you don't spell it the same way as axel rose even right, it's a X I L E S.

14:29 Speaker 3: Yeah, but either which way you say axel phonetically?

14:34 Speaker 2: Yeah?

14:35 Speaker 4: Yeah. When I first I think the first time I met you, when I think you came on my show, yeah, and you said, you know, I was asking like, okay, who is everybody? And you said, I'm gonna go with You're like, okay, I'm gonna go because you know, not ever buddy is ready to be asked that question, like okay, who who's what's your name? Ask a creatile what the name is and they're like, hold on, let me think about this. And so you said I'm going with Tracks and I was like Tracks, Yeah, that is a great name.

15:18 Speaker 4: That's such a great name. And so it stuck with me, you know. I mean we didn't get together like a couple of years later, a few years later, but yeah, but always stuck with me. So I was like, when when we started playing, I was like, you know, people want to have us on a bill and stuff. I was like, okay, well, well what are we? What are we? You know who I am? But but I'm not just who I am. Now, there's that's that's not that's not really it's not just who I am. So that's why I was like, well who I am in Thracks?

15:50 Speaker 4: I mean it's got a nice bring to it.

15:52 Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. It really doesn't.

15:53 Speaker 3: And I like how you came up with the name for the album itself. Oh yeah, wax because of how who I am Thrax you put them together.

16:05 Speaker 4: It's wax.

16:06 Speaker 2: Yeah.

16:06 Speaker 3: I was like, oh that is and it is perfect.

16:09 Speaker 1: And it's hot with two t's and wax with two x's, right yeah hot wax Yeah yeah, yeah, no, I dig it.

16:14 Speaker 2: Oh we should talk about too.

16:15 Speaker 1: Just before we go to front, I'm gonna put the camera back on me for a minute so I can hold this up for people watching online. If you're watching on Facebook or YouTube or LinkedIn, believe it or.

16:25 Speaker 2: Not, actually stream to LinkedIn you Oh no, pull this up, this whole package. So uh so this there's a I like the glasses.

16:35 Speaker 4: Yes, glasses.

16:36 Speaker 2: And this USB drive has the EP on it.

16:40 Speaker 4: Yes it does, it does. We We have dropped our album unaccustomized USB world wide, worldwide.

16:48 Speaker 2: Very cool.

16:48 Speaker 4: And on the USB you can hear the complete album, all four songs YEP, and they if you put them in any USB place that plays music, your car, your computer, it'll automatically play the album from beginning to end. Very cool. Yeah, it's four songs EP and on there is a bunch of bonus materials what I'd like to call waxtros, and that's a five minute collage video of us playing Hot Wax songs live cool and the song information, bio information about who I am in Thrax. Also pictures and fun images that were created for song art, album art album liner notes.

17:40 Speaker 2: Oh so there's a lot in there.

17:42 Speaker 4: There's a whole bunch of that's really cool stuff in there that you can listen to and look at and have fun with.

17:48 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, that's awesome.

17:50 Speaker 4: We'll have them at the show.

17:51 Speaker 1: And it sounds like it probably plays more places than the New Lord CD. Does y'all know about that? No, we talked about that last week with the New Lord CD. It's a clear it's a completely clear CD. It's completely transparent, you can look right through it. But it doesn't play on a lot of players.

18:06 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not even a CD. It's it's that plastic piece of CD that you get when you have blank you have the blank CD, the tower of blank CDs that that top that sits on there.

18:20 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it is.

18:21 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, exactly. No, but this is a cool concept with the USB.

18:25 Speaker 4: I feel like this is the future. I give the credit to my wife Chan. Yeah, and but I'm always looking for futuristic things to do, something different, something new, something that hasn't been done, something that's not being done, and something that's like makes life easier. Like just put that in your USB in your car, Boom, you'll have four great songs from who I'm in tracks.

18:51 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I love it, popping out. I love it.

18:54 Speaker 4: So it's very fun. You can wear it as the necklace too.

18:56 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that's cool. We should we should play another track.

19:01 Speaker 1: And we were talking off air about this, so one of these, one of these tracks has has a guest startist on it.

19:06 Speaker 4: Yes, open your eyes and.

19:09 Speaker 2: We're going to play that in a moment. But tell us about this. So Brad to Palma is on this.

19:13 Speaker 4: Yes, the great Brad to Palma is on this as a featured artist.

19:20 Speaker 3: Homie.

19:21 Speaker 4: Yeah, but we both played on many bills and he's playing bands with Brad, And of course I love Brad so much. Yeah, big fan. I feel like he's possibly the best guitarist in the region.

19:35 Speaker 2: Kidding.

19:35 Speaker 4: I would like to know who's better, because I've seen most of them, and I don't know who I haven't seen.

19:41 Speaker 3: Okay, that's all order.

19:42 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've heard, I've heard every you know, because I had my radio show. But I think Brad. To me, Brad is the best guitarist in the region, and so I reached out to him. I said, hey, would you be interested in dropping a lick for this song? It really needs, you know, something like what you got And.

19:59 Speaker 2: We would know him from Dog Eate Dog.

20:04 Speaker 3: Earth Mark earth Mark.

20:06 Speaker 4: I first saw him in National back in the day and uh, yeah, I've been following him for a long time and legend he's you know, he's intertwined in the the southern New Hampshire Merrock Valley region as you know, the one to go to if you need guitar. And so yeah, so he did, he dropped that forth. You know, Thracks did the audio engineering for the the entire album. Okay, so you know he Brad dropped that track and and Thracks worked magic to get it from that Peace of Descent and then put it on the songs and it's just like it's it's perfect.

20:59 Speaker 4: It's basically I'm not ashamed to say it's the one take that he sent us in Boom.

21:04 Speaker 3: It's perfect.

21:05 Speaker 2: Why not awesome? All right? So yeah, we love it all right, let's give this a listen.

21:09 Speaker 1: So this is who I Am and Tracks featuring Brad to Palma on guitar. And this is called open your Eyes.

21:33 Speaker 6: In the time we as and mousters.

21:38 Speaker 7: See shifting time, love to wee free.

22:00 Speaker 8: Say going back to the.

22:04 Speaker 5: See ye.

22:31 Speaker 9: Say, say.

22:44 Speaker 10: You got and what did you say?

22:56 Speaker 6: So it's around waste his time.

23:10 Speaker 9: Living.

23:15 Speaker 4: Let see what you can.

23:34 Speaker 10: Shop.

23:57 Speaker 8: No, that is open your Eyes.

24:41 Speaker 1: That is who I am and tracks And yeah, that sounded great with brad to Palma.

24:45 Speaker 2: I'm guitared, very very very right. So Max, you you engineered the the EP.

24:53 Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, at least fifty percent of it, Okay, the other obviously the other fifty percent teams from you. Lacey y, Yes, I did. Uh did most of the puts together thingies and all those things.

25:12 Speaker 2: Yeah I did.

25:12 Speaker 3: I did everything myself. Drums was definitely obviously my my area. But I engineered that whole entire thing. Yeah, uh, mixed, mastered, and semi engineered. It took a while. This wasn't like a oh, let's just spur the moment do this like this was meticulous planning over weeks, over weeks, like every song had its own session for for things. So like we uh Lacey is very precise, very uh not even particular, because that's that's in my eyes, just putting down your music. You have a very uh knowledgeable thing of what you want to happen because obviously this is your music.

25:59 Speaker 3: So there was very here's this, here's this, let's go back to this, let's see if we can change this, And it's very you know, touch and go of what can we make better? Yeah? Yeah, so I had I had fun the whole entire time.

26:15 Speaker 2: Yeah.

26:16 Speaker 3: We we were both like ecstatically happy every time we're on the other end of the making of every single song. Yeah, because the process was just so fun.

26:29 Speaker 2: Yeah, really was.

26:30 Speaker 1: It's good that you enjoy that too, and you embrace that because some some musicians hate that part. Some musicians just want to play, you know, and they hate the everything that goes into recording.

26:39 Speaker 4: Yeah, like building a song, yeah, you know, building a studio song. Oh yeah, you do kind of build it. Yeah, you know, you're not just playing it live to tape, which means you know, you just play everything all at once and then you know you just say, okay, that's the song. Yeah. We did one of the things that helped me a lot was you know, we we worked with stems as far as the individual tracks of the song, you know, so that kind of that upped my game a bit because I needed to like have those separate things for tracks to really make it, you know, sound right, and like that's something that it's nice to have, you know, to two ears and and and again tracks as it got a knowledgeable ear.

27:37 Speaker 4: So so it's like, I know, I can you know, get it kind of most to the top of the hill, and I'm like, here, can you take it to the top of the hill right? And and he was able to do that easily easily. Yeah, Yeah, it was. It was a great It was fun process. It wasn't easy, and we yeah, we really put some thought and time into you know, how the song should sound.

28:03 Speaker 2: And why do an EP?

28:04 Speaker 3: What?

28:05 Speaker 2: What went into that decision?

28:06 Speaker 1: This is something I'm always curious about because a lot of artists now they just singles or yeah, or they insist on doing an album or why do an EP?

28:13 Speaker 4: Well, I think in my mind, I was I think what we have and had going prior to the EP was was really good and fun, and I think I felt like we could progress to the next step of like giving these songs that we were doing live two people. Yeah, like in a form you know, and so that just seemed like the natural progression. At that point, I was like, shoot, you want to do darn, I says, you know, why don't we do some songs together. You know, there's studio, you know, the studios thing, and then the EP.

29:03 Speaker 4: I think it's it's nice just to have a quick shot. And I think in my mind EP was it's quicker to do an EP than a full album. And the single thing is fine, but I'm I'm assuming nobody's just doing just a single. They do five songs and they released the one song at a time, which is fine, yeah, and I have no problem with that. But I just felt like, you want to get a full shot of who I am in tracks like you want it. You wanted to hit you full force, a nice sample of everything. Because we got other songs that we played live.

29:41 Speaker 4: We can play you know, up to an hour live, no problem, just roll right through it. And that's with no covers. It's just you know, but we do do a covert we do we do Born this way? Did we do it? A chick pea ride?

29:58 Speaker 3: That's where we we tried.

29:59 Speaker 4: That's where it that's where it happened first.

30:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, great responds and that that was that was a great show. That was very welcoming experience.

30:08 Speaker 4: That was it was really nice. But yeah, that's our yeah, born this way, it's our cover and it's so it's super fun to do. I roll out the auto tune on my my vocal effects. Yeah yeah, yeah, so it's fun. I'd like to play with those. Yeah, but it's you know, it's it's good what we do. Love the live experience. So I think that's what really drove Hot Wax is like we want to put these songs, you know, in somebody's car listening to it driving down the road.

30:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. Let's play another one.

30:46 Speaker 1: Let's see, so we've got what we have left between the between the other two, I'll let you pick.

30:54 Speaker 4: Well, let's do Moon Run. It feels like a good time to talk about Moon Red. Yeah.

31:00 Speaker 2: What should we know about this?

31:02 Speaker 4: It's an instrumental Okay, it's.

31:04 Speaker 3: A it's a live jam that we quantified to uh to studio and uh it's it's a it's a jam that we we kind of like morph every single time that we do. So like live is completely different than than what's on the the album. But what's on the album is a is a perfect like uh I guess demo of what you usually get from Moon Run.

31:32 Speaker 4: So okay, right live live. This is the famous foot on the keyboards move, which you you know can see on our album cover.

31:46 Speaker 3: Painting painted by Crafty k.

31:49 Speaker 4: Our album cover was inspired by paintings she did and uh, you know that's that's one of the signature signature moves. Who I am is played keyboards with my foot, okay, and that happens in this song, and so it happens at the beginning of the song.

32:08 Speaker 2: Oh okay.

32:08 Speaker 4: So the song is like a you know, in my head when I kind of came up with it, it's like, you know, you're on a rocket ship. You're flying to the moon and you get there and you're circling around the moon in this rocket ship and then something starts to go wrong and then everything just goes crazy and you're like trying to put your brain into gear and figure out what's happening. And by the time you figure it out, this song is over all. Right.

32:43 Speaker 1: Well, let's give the suspense. So This is Moon Round. This is of course Who I Am and tracks from their new EP, hot Wax.

32:50 Speaker 11: Check this out was to.

33:39 Speaker 10: Terrors, rose More Sorter, Corser Stores, Towards to Wars Joy war.
