  Speaker 2: But you know, we saw Brad. I think, well, obviously
• 1:15

  Speaker 1: Did you are you the one who has to take
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that question? James? Did you answer that like Connor?
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Is he the one who has to answer the specificness
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: on the Vamp?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Or you just took the lead on that, did you?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: James underline? Is everything? Sorry? Yeah, Connor? Is everything? He's true?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Or or is he just a professional spokesman of the group?
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I think, But I think a bit of both.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: I think he's got James looks very shiny today as well.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I've just noticed it's like he's glowy in such a way.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: But he deserves to take that question.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: No, I love that.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I love that as long as everything is good and
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: we can put together put to the bed any rumors
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: that there is a rift in the Vamp.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: That is good to hear.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Well, lads, we're all good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Lad's lovely to see you, Alex, great to meet you.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Was it an easy yes to joining these two to
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: make a new band?
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: Not for me personally, because it's definitely out of my
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: comfort zone a bit. Okay, Like in the band, I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: very much behind the scenes person. That was where my
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: love for music came from. Like the studio write in
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: but then I'm doing the tours of James, Like, we
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: had so much fun just like playing music go around
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: the UK and Europe, and that sort of persuaded me
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: a bit that maybe this could be something that I
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: actually enjoy and so far I have enjoyed.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It so nice.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it took a little bit of persuade it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, So so who was it who wants to take
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the lead on on the on the group? What's the
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: vibe of Dreamhouse? Because I've heard the song and we're
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: about to give it a spin. It's got a great sound.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: It's like you boys have nailed it. I love it,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: So what do you who wants to tell us about it?
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I feel we can jump a bin.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: But I think it's really exciting for us because it's
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: a direction that we all love and it's something that
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: we've never really gone down before. It's this kind of
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: mix of like in the dance edm mixed with guitars
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: and like live band elements, but still bring in like
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: of the sense and stuff that we love and we
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: hope that it goes really like down and well live.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: That's kind of where we want to translate as well.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: You can come and have a dance, you can hear
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: it in the club, you can hear it on a
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: live stage, and everyone can kind of enjoy it. In
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: this specific track, what the hell we're doing here is
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: kind of different vocal style to any of us have
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: done before, where it's like all this hight fulto, which
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: is it's been really fun to kind of explore that
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: as well, and you can kind of not tell who
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: it is singing.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: It's quite it's quite.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Nice, you know, you can't tell who it is. It
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: definitely like, you know, I like it. If you've heard
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the like, it doesn't sound like if someone was to
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: play it and you were a fan of the Vamps
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: and then you were to play dream House and go
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: half of this group is half of the Vamp, you
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: wouldn't pick it. So congratulations on like carving out like
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: a new a new sound and a new direction, because
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: it would be I would imagine some people would be like, oh,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the criticism could be, oh, it's the Vamps two point
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: zero or it sounds very similar. But what I've heard
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: so far is like that, well done lads on crafting
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: this new thing.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: I guess like the thing with that is like, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: maybe this is what I should have said when us
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: about the Vamps, Like, Connor and I are very happy
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: doing what we do in the Vamps, so it's like
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: we already tick that box for quote unquote Vamps music,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: so it's sure silly for us to go away and
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: be like, let's try and replicate it, especially when the
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Vamps will come back at some point.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: So but thank you.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: And a lot of the production and the sound, well,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: in fact, all the production is Alex, and I think
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: that's one of the reasons I really wanted to bring
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Connor and Alex together because Alex just brings this kind
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: of we call him gandal because he's a wizard of sound,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: and I think what he brings to the table is
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: something that Connor and I a lot.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Too familiar with.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: And it's been amazing to kind of almost be like
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: his his pupils in class when we write music together.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of down to Alex that the sound
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: is where it is.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, that's great. Do you do you appreciate being
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: called the wizard of sound? There's worse things to be called, Alex.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: There's worst things to be called.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: It definitely is no I mean I'm a We're big
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Lord of the Rings fans, and that's sort of where
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: that came from. But yeah, I've spent so much time
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: making so much different music that I think when we
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: started writing together for dream House, the whole premise for
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: me was just to make everything fun, yeah, and to
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: make it feel like we're sixteen again in a bedroom
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: making songs like way too loud. I think a lot
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: of like the synth and sort of guitar pedals or
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: fun things like that is like a huge part of
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: my inspiration when making music is just happy accidents and
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: oh yeah, that's like a lot of the dream House
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: sound is just I walked into the studio with us
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: making music and just sat and listened. It would sound
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: like terrible for about six hours, and then all of
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: a sudden, summon falls into place and it kind of
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: sounds like a song.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Oh I loved I love that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Now, what's the what's the story with the name, what's
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: the what's the background on dream House? How did we
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: land there?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I don't really chat, GPT chat, GPT generator? What how
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: did we get? What your story?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I'm proud to say it wasn't chat.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: As much as I love chat and I love Claude.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: He's a great guy as well.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: But no, she was I would think Claude feels feminine.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It's a masculine name, but she feels feminine.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I liked her.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, she he it can be where whatever
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Claude wants to be. Yeah, it's more clever than all
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: of us. They can have, you know, they've got free
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: ram on that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: It just it's just a name that we liked, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: it was the first one that we even kind of
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: suggested or actually, yeah, it was pretty much the first one.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, we just went with it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: We liked like bigger than liveer than Live feelings, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: I feel like dream House is like one of the
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: things that we wanted to create, this sensity where people
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: can be invited into the dream house and you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: it's a place where you can come and enjoy yourself and.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll leave everything at the door when you come in.

• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: What does the live show look like, is it? Yeah,

• 8:39
  Speaker 1: have left. I would have left.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: No, We've all lived in a sharehouse where there's that
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: one mongrel animal who like takes the empty off and
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: then just throws it on the ground.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It's like walk that ship to the bin. Take that
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: ship to the bin. Okay, what about what about bin etiquette?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Do you take turns taking out the bins or is
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: it one person responsibility and that's always their responsibility?
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: What's the house rule?
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: I have to do it like my wife will not
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: touch the bins. To make it even worse, emptying the
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: hoover into the bin, the hoover bin and then ben
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: out is the worst combination.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Of hoover could be the most English thing that's been
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: said on this interview, just so you know, like you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: we'd call it the dyson or maybe the vacuum. We
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: wouldn't call it the hoover. Hoover is a yeah, you guys,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: do you have a dyson? But you still call it
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: the hoover? beIN like it's the most British thing ever.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Speaking of hoovering, what's the rule on doing the hoovering?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Are we sharing that? Is it one person's job when
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: it comes to vacuuming.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I think you.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Should share it because it's pretty stressful on the back.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Especially now I'm like, Fay.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Did you just say using the dyson is stressful on
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: the bag?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Mate?
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Wait?
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Do you wait?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Wait?
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Do you get older the least stressful thing on the
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: bag using the steak. Okay, last house rule related question,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: this would be for you connor with your flatmate. Where
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: are you at with eating their food? If it goes
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: into the fridge? Is it anyone's food? Do you have
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: a separate shelf? Is there a if you eat it,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: replace it if it's not yours?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: What's the house rule?
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: I think you should share. You should always share food.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I think that food makes the world around and you're
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: more happy if you share food.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and how does your FLATMATEE feel about that? Is
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: that because you eat their food? Because you eat their food.
