• 1:36
  Speaker 1: done with high school when Emotion Is Dead by Juliana
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Theory came out, and so this record is wildly meaningful
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to me as well. We recently, maybe four years ago
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: or so, had Brett and Josh Juliana Theory open up
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: acoustic for one of our tours and that was like
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: one of the coolest things ever for me, for all
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of us, but it was it's so cool to just
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: be pals with them now and they have I mean
• 2:02

  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is really such an awesome, like the
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: perfect pairing, I reckon. Yeah, And what can Australian fans
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: expect from these shows? Are you playing One fil Swoop
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: back to front. Are you playing some newer albums?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Sure? Yeah, so we're gonna do We're just gonna do
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: One Fell Swoop as it is front of back, like
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: we think it's kind of like, you know, we spent
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a lot, although I might change other albums, I think
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: for the sequencing when we were making One Fell Swoop,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: we chose very specific. Everyone does, every band an artist does.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: They want the sequence of the songs to be a journey,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you know, in a ride, and that's exactly what we
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: like the most, you know, is the way that it is.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna play that front to back and then
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: hopefully you know, the album with Self Conclusion, which is
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: just a solo singer songwriter tepe Vibe song, and so
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna do that. But then I think we'll
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: have the rest of the guys come back out and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just rip through two to three more bangers. I would
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: like to think we can get in there, so.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we could awesome.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you guys you just mentioned you've never been
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: to Australia.

  Speaker 2: What are you most looking forward to playing here?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, like like which venue or just like.

  Speaker 3: I guess any since you haven't been here, I guess
• 3:30

  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think honestly, like I know, it's like, I mean,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: there's so many like tropes, you know, I mean obviously
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: like with like the koalas and kangaroos and everything, and

  Speaker 1: Dude and see, Yeah, Captain Captain Jason. He's the main
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: he's the only captain on the down and this is
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: so embarrassing. I don't know, it's just like, I mean,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: reality TV is what it is. But I'm not really
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not very versed in a lot of it, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: for some reason that show is just like I just
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: love watching the chaos of that show. But yeah, Captain Jason,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he's the coolest Australian I've that I would love to meet.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Uh.

  Speaker 2: That's awesome. That is so cool.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: No, I know what you mean about reality TV. Look,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I love to hate on it, but I actually watch
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of it just to.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, it's the best to now material.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And looking back on one film, sweet, what stands
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: out to you most about the writing or recording process?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You know, I think the standouts for writing and recording
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: one thus Swoop. We're definitely like I would I would
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: say that, I would like to say that I have
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a ton of you know, memories, but I mean it
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: was twenty years ago and plus you know, almost at
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this point. But you know, honestly, I think it was
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: just like my it was our first time in a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: real recording studio and we were there with Ed Rose,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: our producer and engineer and mixer. And it's at Black
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Lives Studios in Kansas, which is where the Get Up
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Kids it's. They were partners in that business. And so
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I remember like Ryan Pope, the drummer from the Get
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Up Kids still today, the originally the same drummer, like
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he was a studio manager at the time, and so
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: we would I would be we would wake up and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: get down there and start going at like ten thirty
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: or eleven. And I remember recording guitar to Nimera what song?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And he walked in like we'd already met him. And
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I was trying not to fan out too hard, you know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: because I grew up with the Get Up Kids and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that's just such a pivotal important band for all of
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: this genre. And and I remember him coming in and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: he was like, how's it going today, boys, And he
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: kind of gave me like the shoulder of the rub
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, this is am
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I like, I was like, try to be cool, like
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: be cool. And I was like, hey, hey, dude, you
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: know likes just it was not it was not cool.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: But I remember a little moments like that and and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: him coming up him like really vibing with us and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: coming up and having some drinks after one of our
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: days of sessions, and it's just I loved the process
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of creating and I very much learned how to do
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that in this during recording this record, and you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the studio side of the thing versus the live performance
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is vastly different, and this is this album was my
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: first step into that and our first step into that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: as a band, and it was It means so much
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: in that way.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I can only imagine like when you're sort
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: of starting out and then.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: You get someone like that walking and you're trying.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: To just be cool. You're just trying to be cool
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and you end up being way more awkward than you're
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: trying to be, but at least in my case. But no,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: he's I mean, he's still a dear friend today. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that's just an awesome thing to to get to meet
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: these people, because I always like to feel and think
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that you don't ever stop becoming a fan, you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: like yourself, even though you may have you may have
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: had successes and failures and whatever, and maybe you're even
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: jaded or something within this industry, which is very easy
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: to become. But I'm still so inspired and such a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: fan of so many artists, even new artists there are
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: coming out, so it's just always be a fan.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, speaking more on that, you guys have toured
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: with some major bands. Do you have a certain.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Memory with one of those bands that you'd like to
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: share with us that kind of steaks man?
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Man, there's a lot. There's so many, you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I think, uh, I mean, just like you know when
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you if it's in particular, there there are other bands,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: like you know, I mean, so many bands were toward us,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: but like there was a in particular like a regarding
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: these large large bands. We toured with the Goo Goo
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Dolls and we did a tour with One Republic before
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: One Republic not before, but like they were on their way.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Their first album had just come out and we toured
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: with them, and I mean, Ryan Tedder has come become
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: like one of the most prolific pop songwriters, like of
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: our time anyway, and it was just so incredible to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: watch them perform every night. But I do remember, I mean,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: it's just so nice and so down to earth and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the same the same goes for Johnny and the Guys
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and Google Dolls. But I remember the Ryan Tedder from
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: One Republic. I was just feeling a little loose that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: night or whatever, maybe had a few drinks, and I
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna ask him to just listen to
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: my demos, like I have some new demos, and like
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: he was like absolutely after the show, and I was like,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna. He's like gonna, He's gonna like play
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the show and go right to the bus, and I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: forget about it, and I'm like whatever, and he comes
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: into the green room and he's like, let's go, and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: he and he has a bottle of like Johnny Walker black,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: like he has like Scotch, and I'm like Scotch, Like
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: what what is this that? You know, like fancy Scotch
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: left and he's like, let's go. I've got my laptop.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I was like yeah, absolutely, And just he gave me
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the most incredible notes. Just moments like that where your
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: friendships are formed and like you have a moment and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a connection with the you know, because we're all regardless
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of genre or level of success, when we're out there
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: on the road together, like we are literally in it together.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But even if you're not on the same tour and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: maybe you have tours follow it's just whoever's touring artists
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: wise and crew wise, Like it's a it's a small
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: ilk of people that do it and have done it
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: for and do it for a long time, and so
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: it's like we're all in it together and it's just
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: such a beautiful way to connect. I you know, I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: love when we're able to do that and become have
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: experiences and share experiences, become friends with these these other artists.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, truly amazing. It's funny.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: A lot of the people I interviewed, they say, like
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: it really is all about like when you're out on tour,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: about who you're touring with, because, as you said, like
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: those are the only other people that are you know
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: and understanding.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy, Yeah, it's it's it's wild. It's you're a
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: bit of a it's a bit of a platoon vibe,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you know, like you're because you're not really in like
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you're not living like a you're like a doing this
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: nomadic thing, this nomadic routine thing with with a specific
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: group of people crew and other touring bands, and it's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: just it becomes a family, and so you have to
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you know, there are times that you don't get along
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: maybe with them, but for the most part, it's an
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: incredible thing to get to do on that side, you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you know, aside from the shows, but like to make
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that connection with them the touring party.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, well said. And you briefly mentioned before
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: as well that you lack some new artists. Who are
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: you listening to a lot of at the moment?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, yeah, I really you know who I'm listening
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to recently, just not even maybe recently, probably the last
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I found this artist of three years ago. His name
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: is Nick as Well, which is Coolhi obviously like that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But his project is called Medium Build and he is
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: he is he calls that he he's wasn't from Alaska,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: but that's where he started. Medium Build was in Alaska,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: which is just kind of rare. There's not a lot
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of music that comes out of there. But he moved
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: out of there, moved from Alaska and just his I
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: mean he's got just like his catalog is is good,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the old stuff. But it just to watch him involved
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in like to where he is now. I mean, he's
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: he's massive over here now and it's I've seen him
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a couple of times and he just changed my Like
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: iod I stood in line after one of his shows
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: here here in Pittsburgh to wait to talk to him,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: like did the whole thing, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that I just I've been on the other side of
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that for so long. And I was like, I'm waiting
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to talk to him. And I met him and I
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: like was tearing up and stuff, and I was like,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, you you hit whatever? Like you you Yeah,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like you reignited my passion for like writing music, and
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you're He's an incredible songwriter. It's unbelievable what he's able
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to do. But I really love him medium built. But
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I other than that, just like I mean, gosh,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: what else. I kind of I do a lot of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: podcasts because I'm always I'm always writing and hearing other
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: music in my head, so I I kind of more
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: music gets distracting to the writing process. But this band
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Bill Murray is unbelievable. They're so good. It's not the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: act well it's named after that. Yeah, it's like it's
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: like b I L m U R I. It's incredible.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I can't even like, I don't know how to describe it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: It's like it's just amazing. I'll just I'll leave it
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: at that. It's incredible. They're they're amazing, but a bunch
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: of other stuff, But those are the two standouts for
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: this moment.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: And what genres were they those two bands?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Like I think Medium Build would be more of like
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a singer songwriter, but like a singer songwriter, but like
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: with it's not just acoustic. He rarely plays acoustic, but
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: it's a singer songwriter vibe a little more chill with
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: very amazing, introspective, unique lyrics. And then Bill Murray is
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: like Bill Murray is like like pop Nashville writing like
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Nashville like pop writing, the way that they write the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: melodies and the songs, but put to like extremely heavy
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: like melodic like pop punk like with like like chugs
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and stuff. I mean, they're they're so incredible. I don't
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: know if they've been over I would think they have
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: been over there. This last year was massive for them.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: They just kind of really blew up. But they're incredible.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: You should definitely check that out.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Oh Will, that does sound amazing, Gee, super good.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Do you have any pre show rituals or routines, especially
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: for a tool like this that's both nostalgic and high energy.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, you know, I like to I definitely
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: need like myself, I need like a little like chill time,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: even if the guys are around. Maybe I'm just kind
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of like I kind of turn off my social anything
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and I just like kind of find myself and set
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: whatever anchor emotionally and spiritually that I need to. But
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: after that, it's kind of like whatever. I you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: sometimes just a lot of stretching and stuff because I'm
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: getting older too, so just like I don't want to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: pull anything, so I'm stretching a lot. But then you know,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: also a little apple pie moonshine for me and Evan,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: our guitar player, just to kind of get things loose
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and going. But the biggest thing is we do a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: huddle right before where we it's like a whole thing.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: We have like our right hand in and are in
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: our thumb blake is connected, and then the left hand
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: is on the guy next to you. It's just this
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: whole a big ritual. And then we just kind of,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I don't we dedicate the show to something someone, We
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: say something, we go like on three one two, whatever
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it is. But a lot of times it's I mean
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: most time it's just like funny ridiculousness. It makes no sense.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we do like a little ritual just coming
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: together of like our energies and stuff, and that's really
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the main thing. We will never stop doing that and probably.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: So that's awesome and so special. A lot of bands
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I speak to, they're like, no, we just jump on stage.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I'm so worried. Yeah, yeah, no, I
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: don't know. You have to like connect with your guys.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, even though they're like my brothers at this point,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but it's just like you got to connect and be
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: able to connect further.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and be on the same wavelength. And absolutely
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: the question also goes for after the show. I guess,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: did you guys used to party a lot? And has
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: that changed or did you never do.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: That sort of?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we definitely used to party quite a bit.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: It is definitely it's non existent any anywhere at this
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: point because it's like, oh, we could go. I mean
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: sometimes like it if it's some of that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: The last tour, last Fall we did it was our
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: it was our guitar player's birthday, so we went, you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: we played the show in Nashville actually, and then we
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: went out. We went all as a group out to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the bar, and like some of us don't even drink anymore,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: you know, And so it's like but normally, I mean
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: literally almost every night it's you're, you're done, You're maybe
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: have a night cap, have your dinner, and just be
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: done with it. But yeah, yeah, at.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: My age of I don't know how old, by thirty two,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, there's nothing I'd want to do more
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: than just after a show, if I was performing, then
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: to just go back to the hotel and rest.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just go rest, like it's cool to I mean,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you're definitely riding the adrenaline of the show for a while,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: so you definitely me personally, I don't sleep for another like,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't get to sleep on tour till
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: like too like anywhere from like two to three am,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: just with the adrenaline going, and even if you're trying
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to unwind, it just takes a while, you know. But
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: that's a good thing, good good thing.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And how do you maintain emotional connection to the
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: songs he wrote so long ago?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I just as far as that goes,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I just you know, I really find the connection in
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the crowd and in the fans. I don't really relate obviously,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to relate to lyrics I wrote, you know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: twenty plus years ago as much as current lyrics. But
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I just it really is a situation where I connect
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: with them because they've lived a life to these songs,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and even maybe they don't relate to them themselves in
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the same way, but they did at a certain point,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and so all of that energy you can feel like
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: while we're worming, and we get that back in that
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: live feedback from them when they're singing back to us
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and and me personally, and it's just that's the that's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the connection, that's the most important part.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, hell lovely.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: And what's one piece of advice you'd give your youngest
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: self during the era of one fell Swood?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Piece of advice I would tell myself two, uh, don't stop,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: don't beat yourself up so much and it's going to
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: be okay. Yeah, yeah, I would say that. Yeah, I
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: would said it. I said it myself now, so yeah yeah.
• 21:40
