• 0:14
  Speaker 2: let people listening know that we don't normally do innyviews
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: with bands that haven't got albums or anything coming out,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: but Somosa have just come across Heavy's radar and we
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: like you guys that much that we thought we're going
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to reach out and have a chat anyway and see
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: what you guys have been up to.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: That's cool, yeah, easy.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: So you released your latest album, Mark called Tundra Rock
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: back in September twenty twenty four, so it's been out
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: over the year now, made it's that time to digest.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: So was the reception what you hope you'd get with it?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And even more like it was it's the whole second album,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I guess, difficult second album, so I'm in. There was
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: excitement around it and you never know, you never know
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: what the reception will be like. And we released it
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: on some new labels as well, so yeah, it was
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: all not nerve racking.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: But of course exciting, but after a day or.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Two it it became pretty clear that the reception was good, and.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very pleased with how it went.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the pressure. Relea says an interesting quote about the album, saying,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: in essence, Lamosa picked up where they left off while
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: looking forward at the same time. Can you elaborate from
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that for us?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it's it's everything.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Everything develops and and and I mean the first album
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: was the right thing. Sessions between these those two albums
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: are like, you know, it's four years in between them,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: five years in between them because of the COVID and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: some lineup changes and stuff like that. So it naturally
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I had some some development to the sound, and I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: think the first album was pretty I'm very pleased with
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the first album as well. And I think that album
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is a little bit more it's a little bit more
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: positive in a way. It's got more of like the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: good feel, and it's a little bit naive in a way.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: It's got more of like influences from from from when
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I was younger, like I think skate punk and stuff
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: like that. What's the second album. It's a little bit
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: more emotional, a little bit more Yeah, it's got like this.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I can hear the difference between the two albums, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and I think we always we always try to find
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: something new to add to the sound. I'm not trying
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to make this the same song two times, you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: trying to always show new sides of the band. And
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: on the next album as well, it would be like that,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know, try and take a little bit of you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: get out of the comfort zone and try to to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to make something fresh for people to listen to.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I love the title Chandra Rock, but that's actually
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: at the chain you gave yourself to describe you music.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Is that right, That's right?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And we took that from Yeah, we took it from
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: because obviously we're very influenced by by Caius and Queens,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Stone Age, Yawning Man, all the desert rock bands from
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: California and they were called desert rock. And you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the biggest rock band from Norway is Turbu Negro International. Yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and all the young all the rockers in Norway. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: had read their auto biography, which is a very thick book,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and there was this whole chapter about how they chose
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the genre name they chose to call their music. For
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the death punk and I had that in my in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the back of my head since I was young, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: so we were playing desert rock, and I was like,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: we have to coin, we have to coin our own genre,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: like every good band does so, and our equivalent of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a desert is the tontra. So then they ended up
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: being a tount of rock and I'm pleased to see
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that people they talk about us as a country rock band.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: You mentioned the names Tires and Queens stone As before, like,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I guess your genre. They are the two biggest bands.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But when you're coming together to make music, like how
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: how hard is it to separate your music and make
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it different to the sort of stuff that they're doing.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's hard, because you know, we're not
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: covering the songs, so it's kind of you know, we're
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: just influenced in the sound. And I always, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: those two bands, I've always you know, I never get
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: tired of their of the vibe and and the tonality
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: as well. So we kind of we kind of set
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: off in the start with the first Queens of Stone
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Age album as as our our main main influence or like, yeah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the main influence that we were going to make our own,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you know, make it our own thing, of course. And
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I think it it naturally becomes as long as you're
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: not stealing the songs or covering the songs, you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it'll it'll, it'll have some of your own spice. So
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and I mean I sing in a different way than
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: John Gasire and and I think.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: We, you know, we we mixed in more of like.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: The the hardcore side of things, even though kays is
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you know, special because they are core kids, you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they all they all grew up on Black Flag and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and and those bands. So I think that's you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the magic ingredients in that desert rock scene and the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: bands that came after.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: So pretty probably eighteen months now since Under of Rock
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: came out, mate, So have you started work on on
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the next one here or you just readuring?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's a it's it's a constant
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: work in progress. We wrote Contra Rock whilst touring, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: playing eighty ninety gigs a year. What's the first record
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: was was written way before we started touring.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: We hadn't played a gig.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Before we before we were done writing that album, so
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it was a new experience writing contra rock. And when
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I think back, I'm not quite sure how we did it,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: because you know, we were away all the time, but
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it kind of became like a fragmented process. And it's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the same with the next album as well. You know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you kind of you kind of have to suddenly you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: have to prioritize your time, and suddenly you have to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you have to actually take the time. If I don't
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: do that, there's always something we have to do with,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you know, just running the band and or touring as well.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm I'm writing, so mainly I write the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: basis of the songs and then we work it out together.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: So I'm just constantly writing whenever I can and whenever
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I feel inspired, and then when we're able, we get
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: together and we start working out the songs. And it
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: worked previous times, so I'm pretty relaxed about it regarding
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the next album as well.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I was looking up a bit of history on the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: band before, mate, and I read it quite from you
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: that said that the band started as a casual excuse
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: to drink beer, smoke and play rock music with friends.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I couldn't think of a better reason to start a
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: banding all honesty.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it is, I think most bands start out
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: We didn't really have.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and like of course we had ambitions about
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the music. We were ambitious about writing songs that we
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: liked and and and using or writing riffs.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: It was mainly like based.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Around riffs, you know, like me and me and on
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the founding guitarists not in the band anymore, but I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: started the band with him. He's also one of my
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: childhood friends. And we lived together whilst we were at university,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and we just started jamming in our living room, pulling
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: out the riffs that we had made throughout life, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: we were making new riffs. And we found a drummer,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: we found a bass player, and in the beginning, you know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: like we were just jamming for three hours getting to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: know each other, like the new members and uh, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it was just it was just yeah, look, I look
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: back at that time with I have fond memories from
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: that time. You know, it was more like now everything
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: is that's kind of obligation and and some pressure. You
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: could say, it's a whole different thing than back then
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: when it was just you know, something for us to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to enjoy and and you know a lot of joking
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: at band practice.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: It was a lot of It was a lot of fun.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: But it became pretty clear after the first gig that
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you know, we could play another gig. That's that's how
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: we That's that was our thinking. Maybe we could go
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: to the capitol of Norway and play you know, uh,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, slowly it just started rolling the snowball.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And you know that I know a lot of people
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: who who who who had you know, they had their
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: their plan in life was to become a musician and
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to to to make a living of music. People went
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to music schools and and studied music at university, you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: became session musicians and and and tried to find a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: way to make a living for music. I never had
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that ambition or even thought it would be possible. And
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I studied journalism, and you know, music has always been
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and would probably always be my hobby.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, now it's a job, but you know.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Making music was always my hobby of pastime activity is
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: something that I like to do and maybe I have
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I had to do. And so I'm very fortunate that
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you know, people liked the music. Suddenly I make you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: a living off it, while some of the people I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: know that we're working against that goal don't play anymore,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking to play the music that I love.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what would you say? And right, like essentially it
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: blends down a rock with elements brande the strange of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: DNA from punk rocking. They are, like they're pretty diverse
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: influences and genres to have any music. So how do
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you find the balance in the creative process? Like how
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: do you know if you've gone too far in one
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: direction or not far enough in another.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: We don't think that way, you know, Like that's I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: don't think it. You know, that's a weird way of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: thinking about it. You know, just make whatever makes us
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: feel good. You know, that's really what I what I do.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: You know, it's all about how it feels. I don't
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: really care about the genre or or or or you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it's it's having to be this or that, you know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: like we created this. It didn't exist from before, so
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: who knows what it's supposed to be. So it but
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I remember in the beginning and also writing contra rock,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it was kind of like, you know, we have to
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: keep it the mosa and it was a lot more
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: of of like you know, presenting riffs that band practice.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Someone will be like, no, that's not the most and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: stuff like that in the beginning, you know, when it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: more of like I mean, it's more of like I think,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: where you find yourselves like you don't. It's this abstract
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: You're just making some music for this abstract thing that
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't exist yet, you know. So but now I now
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty relaxed about it because you know, everything sounds
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: like the most.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: That's what I think.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: If if if we're just do the you know, continue
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: doing what we do, I think we can make whatever
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: song we want with what, you know, whatever kind of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: riff or whatever kind of melody, and it will still
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: be slamos. And I think it's a fortunate thing as well,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that you know, yeah, we have to live up to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the past, you could say.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: But in a way, I feel very free to do
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: whatever whatever I want.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And I I kind of you know, I like this
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the vibe that we've got.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I like the music that we make.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: And I I guess I've always been frustrated with a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: lot of bands. I like that they you know, they
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: establish a sound or or their thing, and then you
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: get to the third or fourth album and it completely inges,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: goes somewhere else.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: And and I I really don't want.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: To do that, Like I, I just want to continue
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: with the way of doing things and time will tell.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: But I can't imagine us becoming a boogie rock band
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: like Hayas or No like Christas stone Age or or
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you know, becoming a hard rock band like Macedon in
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the end. And yeah, we're going to keep it, gonna
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: try and and and keep the vibe. But there's a
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff we haven't played. There's a lot of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: stuff we haven't done. We haven't tuned our guitars differently,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: we haven't done you know, everything is kind of a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: set thing, you know, So there is in the future
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of room to two to do things a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: little bit differently.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: And we do have it's not a secret, but we
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: do have.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Most of a sludge album written as well from one
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: of our previous bands. We All Modesty was a pretty
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: cool band. We never recorded, and I think those songs
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: have always been in in my locker, and I think
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to be a cool, cool direction
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to go in the future as well, or at least,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, bands like King Gizzard are really
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: inspiring in they you know, it always sounds like King
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Gizzard and they make albums in whatever genre, make an
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: acoustic album, whatever, and it's always cool and it's always
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: King Gizzard. So I mean, it's a little bit contrary
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to what I said about always being slow. But I
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: think you know, King Gizzard, the Norwich band, Motorcycle, all
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of these bands kind of prove that you can make
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: whatever and still keep the vibe and the attitude and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: keep your style in it. And at the same time
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you want alienate people, or maybe you're alienate some people
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that you will get new people.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: In as you can hear. I'm not sure. I'm not
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: sure about anything.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I'm just uh, speaking of the future. Made are reliable,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: but anonymous sources told me that this year there is
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: a high possibility that somebody who are going to be
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: coming out to visit us here in Australia. Can you
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: either confirm or deny that for us?
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Who told you that?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to say the person's name, but it's
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: it's not common knowledge. But but I hear we could
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: be seen sometime this year.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: It might be who knows, very coral.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: We definitely, yeah, we definitely want to come to Australia
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and New Zealand and we get a lot of messages
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: from people down there, so that's definitely there's definitely something.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: It's definitely something that we have to do. And yeah,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: it does look like there might be some news on
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the horizon, but I can't say much more than.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: That hypothetically, just say you do come out. What can
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: we expect from some most of live monastery typical live
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: show and what you what you give us?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I think we have a good reputation as a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: as a live band, but we really enjoy playing the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: gigs and we always give it our very best. And
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I think if you look at live clips on YouTube
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: or on our Instagram, you will see what most gig
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: usually how how is the most gig usually.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Goes down?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And if we come to Australia and New Zealand, we
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: won't be holding back, and especially not when it's the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: first time, and if a lot of people will have
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to see us, it'll be a pretty.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Things will go pretty fast.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: It's just again hypothetically only, but give us three songs
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: of Somo so that people can listen to you in
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: order to get to know the band better for the
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: live experience.
