  Speaker 4: Thanks for joining us tonight, Thank thanks for having us.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: No way, So I hope I got this right. But
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: you released the audio back on July the fourth and
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: the video this Friday to.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Rive the labornth Is that correct?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Yep. So how'd you go with the audio so far?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Good reception?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been great. Everybody's loving it, loving our biggot.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Sounding and how different we're going, and it's saying it's
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: got a difference down now.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I think it kind of showcases how much
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: we've really evolved as a band and how we've sort
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: of just got this whole new era now that we've
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: got Hannah. We've definitely got a heavier, more full of
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: sound too, and it's really showcased in this single as well.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, can you dive into heartbreaking them from musical point
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: of view and what you were learned for with it?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: So heartbreak. I guess what we were trying.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: To go for was more about how the heartbreak and
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: sort of lead you into a reinvention of yourself. So
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: it's not necessarily about going through a certain grief, but
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: if you are, you can kind of find a way
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: to kind of take that and yeah, I guess sort
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: of reinvent.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: And that's what we.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: Were trying to trying to do with the whole concept
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: and the idea, rather than just doing the whole typical
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: heartbreak and the guy walks into the bar and we
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: wanted to fear away from that. We had a complete
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: different take with with what we wanted to represent as
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: a heartbreak give too much work. Yeah, I said that
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: there's not you know, it's not your typical to expect.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Is what I'm saying.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to be very it's very different,
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: so people yet they're not going to know what to expect.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: It's a pretty interesting idea to release the audio and
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: one week and then the video of the week after.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: So what was the thought process behind that.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I think in this day and age, you've got to
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: use every bit of media or sound or footage or
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: whatever you've got as a separate entity because it's all
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: about social networking these days and getting your image out
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: there to grow your fan base.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And if you put everything out on one day, then
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: what do you do the.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Next day, the next day. So we just like to
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: spread everything else and that's why we're going to keep
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: releasing singles for the next probably twelve months, very regularly.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: It's a good idea too, because you say, like when
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: you release it, people spend so much time on music
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: videos these days. When they come out, they're spectacular, but
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: people pay more attention to that. Like if you release
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: the audio first, people get to know the song a
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: bit better, and then you watch the video to go
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: with it, and it's sort of it's like two separate entities,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: even though it's a wonderful.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: And it creates more of a vision two as well.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I think when you just sort of hear the audio,
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: you can leave it a bit more sort of open interpretation,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: and then when you see the audio and the vision
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: and the visuals, it tells the whole story, so you
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: understand the words, the meaning, the music, and yeah, you
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: get more of an understanding.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And working with Tony was just amazing, It just incredible
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: he just brought it to the next Lep took our
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: ideas and just made it different better so well Toay's
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: idea and Mel's idea actually not mine, but yeah, but
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it just became amazing.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Tony Max was yeah, great, and it's going to be
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: working on it with us on the next one too.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: So what doubt nice anyone video? What time is the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: drop on Friday?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I think it comes out first thing in the morning,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: so when you wake up, we can first play.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope I'm right with that. I'm pretty sure
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that's what I did.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Heartbreak into your First Thing on a Friday morning.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I read a quote from the band that said, this
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: is one of your most honest and explosive songs to day.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Did you elaborate on that for us?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Well, it's what the band that we've got together now
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: is completely different to where we came from. We've got
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a much biggest down and the song shows it too,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and the way we playing together, it's just we're just
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: so happy has come out. We've spent a lot of
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: time on it too, so it's songs really grown and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: once Today put a vocals on there, there was just
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the next level and we just knew we had something.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Even Raster was just like, this is great. So yeah
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it was, and we're all very happy to finally get
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: it out there. I think today.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: First did the vocals eighteen months ago, now twelve months ago. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I did. Ye first take was done a year ago.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: I've been hanging on to this one for a really
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: long time.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Pretty much pretty much when she joined the band the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: next week, she was in the studio recording vocals.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: You've mentioned a couple of times a different sound for
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: the band, So can you have for people to have
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: been with you for a while, can you tell us
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: a bit more about that, Like what's what's different?
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: More attitude, We're heavier.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: I think we're sort of more instinct as well, Like
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: you can see our dynamic on stage.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: You can see that we're all. Yeah, we're all very.
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: Interrue and we perform then having fun. Yeah, absolute, we
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: like each other. Yeah, we like the little family.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So that's good.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nice. Nice Back to Heartbreaker.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Is it a standalone single for you guys or is
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: it part of a big album or EP picture.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: All?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Like I said before, we're just going to keep releasing singles,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: so we're due to do another one. By the end
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of the year, and then three months after that we'll
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: do another one. So hopefully every three months you'll see
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: something from HD for the next twelve months very regularly,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: so film.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Clips to go with as well.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's all having and then maybe at the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: very end we might drop an album.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: People want to.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see what a bad idea these days because
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: people's attention spans are getting less and less, So you
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: put a full album out and not many people actually
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: sit and listen to a whole album, but you've reacent
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: by singles or a couple of the time, you find
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: you get to reach a bigger audience and you please
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: more people.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, not the idea by that, that's.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: The idea where that's the way we're sort of heading.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Been working with me well, has been doing a lot
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of us social media now so and she's sort of
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: helping us with all the how to relate with the
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: timings and that kind of stuff.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: So it's really good. We've got a good team in
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the background now working with us.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It's not just the band anymore, so we've got a
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: fair few people helping.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Us out on stage and off stage and in the background.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So it's there. It's really good.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: We have a very good team. We're very lucky.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Yet oh just mentioned the new direction, of course, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: the fact you're going to be released the singles every
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: three months, so it's heartbreaking.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: A good sodic representation of the way forward.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, for the next couple, and then you'll see the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: brand new stuff.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Well, the next one will be in a similar vein.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: But then what we do next year, just yeah, it's
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: going to be this is mine and today's brains put together.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Is something completely different and you yet again, it sounds
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: like hates there, but it's just gonna fresh.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Und I'm actually going to jump in there to say that,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: like fans of the old band or your old sound
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: listen to this. They'll still appreciate your direction moving forward,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: you're not gonna steer too far away from what they expect.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: No, no, we're not going We're not going crazy away.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: It's just yeah, I guess a bit more melodic will
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: be the moon that's still heavy.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Search and three social media earlier, I saw something about
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: a h said comic book coming, like is that for
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: real or is it?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: N I was wondering what people would say about that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I think that was just it just I don't know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a joke or that's.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: What I took it too. But I thought i'd bring
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: it up in case it was for real, because that
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: could that could go in a lot of interesting direction
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: or something like that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Well, they've just done one, so they're doing a great
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: job with that. And if you've seen and as one,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: it's amazing.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Check it out.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of my hands yet, but I've seen
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that looks pretty cool.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: There'd be a lot of extra work though.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: They're doing the music side one thing, but branching out
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: into drawing and comics and stuff and just be a
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: pain in the arts.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: You're worth it, but to be a pain in the ass.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I don't have enough time comics from us. We're going
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to stick to the music in the videos. Maybe might
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: do a movie or something.

• 10:07
  Speaker 4: guys might be happy with, you might not be, But
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: it's a photo bomb. So basically, I've trod through social
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: media before you've had a chat, and I picked some
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: photos that I think people need to know a little
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: bit more about. The first one I've come across is
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: this one that that legendary Warwick Tappa Ah, Yes it is.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, he's a very good friend of ours.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Yes, he got up and he had to sing that
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: night too as well.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: And I must say he definitely has a good voice,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: so it's probably trying to show me how to do it, I.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Reckon in that photo, No he was.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: He was really lovely, but in that photo I think
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: he was just taking a moment to kind of thank you,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: well just yeah, thank everybody. So it was Yeah, he
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: was really lovely and so sweet and he was so
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: supportive of us too. As soon as he found out
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: we had our show, he came down and he brought
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: some friends and yeah, that's that's the photo.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Most people think tight shorts and red ball when they
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: hear the name Mauric Kabba, But I know a lot
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: of people who know him in the music scene and
• 11:03

• 11:06
  Speaker 1: He without a doubt, he's just such a nice guy.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: People get him wrong because he's got a character that's
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: made him, you know, giving him a something to do
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: after football and that's his career and people someone's taking
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: his jokes a bit out of character. But he's such
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a nice guy, so supportive. He just wants the music
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Melbourne music scene to be massive and he's just pushing
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: it from every cornery can. We've become really close friends
