  Speaker 1: And what's another favorite of mine is probably Lords of Grime,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: which is, yeah, a song about the band member has
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: just been total maniacs.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be fucking ripping it, rip into it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Indeed now remains formed back in two thousand and nine,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Mate with members of known bands such as Blood, Duster, Captain,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Clean Off, to Kill, Funk, I'm Dead and more. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: when you first started mel like, was it difficult establishing
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: your own musical identity with so many people from known
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: bands sort of coming into it?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Not really like we've all been mates for a long time, so.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Rolling bass players from like Clean Off, Jay and David
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: from like Fuck, I'm Dead, yided Dust, the Daving became
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: nothing with Dave many moons ago, but we all like
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: sort of had a break and quiet and down. All
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the bands finished up and you started doing King with Dave,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: so we sort of focused on that for a good
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: year or two and then that was when King started
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and then probably twenty nineteen. We always hang
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: out and see each other and get together for beers
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and hang out at shows down here in Melbourne. But yeah,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we liked to Yeah, we just got together and said,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: like they Dave and Jay had some songs that perfectly
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: started the band started without me and Roll of course,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they had songs down and we said let's get the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: dig them out and give them a crack.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And so they turn out and I think we did
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: about five and.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Then sound six. So we just wrote another bloody No
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: ten or ten or sixteen or something like that. So

• 7:01
  Speaker 1: influences from like the Swedish scene and yeah, the Scandinavian

• 7:12
  Speaker 1: but and like we're major like old school grind grind freaks.
