  the last manber to join and drink a sattle bit of vodka. Oh yeah,
• 1:19
  I'm Brett. I'm Brett. I play bass in Very Callo. I
• 1:26
  guess this EP is pretty pretty important for us to self titled EP. It
• 1:32
  is who we are right now. Obviously we're also already in a writing phase
• 1:38
  for the next stuff. But I think this album lyrically, I yeah,
• 1:47
  I've got to be careful what. I don't want to speak for Charlie,
• 1:49
  but I think a lot of a lot of the songs, I guess are
• 1:53
  about challenges in life and overcoming those challenges. And I think it's you know,
• 1:56
  not our music. For us, the vibe of our band is really
• 2:02
  live. We're really really we have a lot of a lot of fun.
• 2:07
  You know, I don't mean tighters in music. I've mean tighters in a
• 2:10
  prew, you know. We A big part of who we are as a
• 2:14
  band is like our vibe. Every time we play, we have an absolute
• 2:17
  blast. We have a ball, We love playing together. And like I
• 2:21
  said, I guess when we talk about the EP, one part of our
• 2:25
  music is the joy and the fun and the engagement, you know, for
• 2:30
  the people we play for and for ourselves. But there's also a bit of
• 2:34
  a deeper part to the lyrics. I guess in some of Charlie's stuff that's
• 2:37
  talking to you know, like I said, those challenges in life and the
• 2:40
  things we have to kind of deal with, and but not just about winging
• 2:44
  about it. It's also about what are we going to do about it?
• 2:46
  What actually are we going to take, how we're going to improve, We're
• 2:49
  going to reach out, are we going to act? So yeah, I
• 2:52
  guess that's a little bit of an overview. I don't know where the mark
• 2:54
  you got something to say, or Charlie you got something to say? Too
• 2:58
  much? I love the questions. Let to ask you answered all my questions
• 3:06
  knife meeting your mate, realized brand is a responsible one. We're gonna have
• 3:21
  a lot of fun with this one. Chris, What was I supposed to
• 3:24
  be? Ble Like, Hey, I'm Brett from barri Cello and buy our
• 3:30
  new fucking very cello self titled that type of thing? Was that more?
• 3:32
  What you look? December first? You can do whatever you want. There's
• 3:37
  no rules here with me. Now we got that out of the way.
• 3:46
  Guys, thanks very much for joining us this afternoon. Yeah, happy man,
• 3:51
  Thanks for having Pleasure Boy so very shallow release your day, your self
• 3:55
  tit and EP today December the first. So how does it feel finally set
• 4:00
  it free to the world like you would have been sitting on it for a
• 4:01
  bit and waiting to get it out there. How's it feel? Oh?
• 4:04
  It's awesome, man, So anticipated for this. There's been a couple of
• 4:10
  months in the coming and I'm so proud of AP like there's been a lot
• 4:14
  of us boys have put so much work this AP you and it's good to
• 4:17
  see that it's going to see the light of day. And I can't wait
• 4:20
  to play it and hopefully sell some physical copies on December their so yeah,
• 4:28
  very exciting times. Anyone else, Yeah, I think to Charlie's point,
• 4:38
  we're all pretty proud of what we've put together here. And you know,
• 4:42
  all of us have been in previous outfits and been in other bands, and
• 4:46
  you know, some of us have had other releases and stuff, and certainly
• 4:50
  for me, this is definitely the best thing I've ever been a part of.
• 4:57
  Very proud, and I think the work we did with Jay at Oracle
• 5:01
  Studios. He was an amazing production partner with us, So we kind of
• 5:08
  took our songs that we were already proud of and then really just pushed pushed
• 5:12
  it into some you know, a different space and explored you know, lots
• 5:17
  of different things. And yeah, I would describe that, you know,
• 5:21
  to me, it's like really full. It's you know, like I said,
• 5:26
  I've been part of other metal bands and I don't know, sometimes the
• 5:29
  music's a bit I don't know, flat or grittle or trebly or I don't
• 5:33
  know, it just doesn't have that you know, grunt. This in my
• 5:38
  opinion, this stuff, you know, it's got a really good, really
• 5:41
  good sound to it. And yeah, like I said, not just what
• 5:45
  we wrote, but what we worked with Jay on to kind of push those
• 5:47
  songs to the next level. Shout out j Yeah. Where's he from?
• 5:56
  Oracle Oracle Studios? Is he a Boma's spodcum? I don't think I think
• 6:04
  Mark might have missed his calling here. I think Mark should have been like
• 6:08
  a radio jockey or something. He's just like whacking, like shout out ja
• 6:12
  man, put a photo out of his wallet like this. Thu Yeah,
• 6:20
  Chris, his his name is Jay Huxtable like Cosby, Yeah, that one
• 6:29
  right there. You're just saying his phrases before and now you played him under
• 6:31
  the bus. It's weird musical point of you guys and what you're going for
• 6:42
  with it. That's a bit of an interesting part because it's not just one
• 6:47
  of us that writes, Like I wrote a song on the album the EP,
• 6:50
  Brett wrote, if you I'm not sureing the shore about lyrically wise,
• 6:56
  but like musical wise like it. It's got a bit of a different spin
• 7:00
  to it because it's got three different like guitarists kind of putting their input in.
• 7:06
  And that's what I think kind of makes when you listen to the songs
• 7:10
  back to back to back it's not the same guy one guy writing a song,
• 7:14
  you know, I mean it's each kind of song has got different groups
• 7:16
  to him. And I think that's what personally, I find a little bit
• 7:21
  special about the songs that we picked because we had eight i think nine to
• 7:25
  choose from, and I think the ones we picked we sat down and thought
• 7:30
  about for a fear fair while the ones that's had those different kind of groups
• 7:34
  and people like we kind of twist people off a little bit and just like,
• 7:36
  oh this is a bit different last one, you know, like,
• 7:40
  yeah, it's it's it's weird because I I have like the music I listen
• 7:49
  to is kind of like it's it's basically just death core all the time.
• 7:54
  Whereas Charlie, who listen to what's it not classed as? Is it classes
• 8:01
  extreme metal or new metal now? And it's fucking awesome. I'm sure,
• 8:09
  like it's still the metal that made me get my sleep to set out as
• 8:13
  well. Yeah, Pierced the Veil, you know, Like I like anything
• 8:24
  from you know, as long as it's good sound in music that i't mind.
• 8:28
  I feel like we all this into different types of metal and we all
• 8:31
  have different influences and what we've done is we've just kind of pushed them all
• 8:39
  together to make whatever it is we do, which is essentially I guess,
• 8:43
  groove. But it's got influences from so many different types of metal, so
• 8:50
  like you're not just getting one flavor all the time. You're getting you could
• 8:54
  be getting anything on any given day. Spot on boys, but when you
• 9:00
  order Chinese food and everyone picks their own dish. Yeah, like the Noodle
• 9:15
  decided to release, you decide to release his self titled EP, which for
• 9:20
  the glam metal fans out there means you've named it after the band, So
• 9:22
  it's called very shallow like it's it's a pretty confident move on your first album,
• 9:26
  like David and after the band, like you must be pretty happy with
• 9:30
  it. Yeah, it's definitely like AP, I mean a self titled sort
• 9:35
  of AP, like with everyone coming together for the first time on this,
• 9:39
  you know, like and it's it's going to be awesome, man, I
• 9:41
  can't wait. It really is, right, So see five songs on the
• 9:48
  EP, guys, I thought we'd go through them all individually and you can
• 9:52
  tell us more about them. So there's five years they can take one each.
• 9:56
  I guess if you like so we'll start with Death of Me. So
• 10:00
  the Death of Me was actually written about Sorry Maddie about having to say this,
• 10:05
  but the first drummer that edited the band, Jake Bedford, sort of
• 10:09
  gave me a story about his father and all that, you know, being
• 10:13
  a vocalist on the saying that he liked he wanted me to write a lyrical
• 10:16
  song about it, which I did. It's actually a pretty heavy song,
• 10:20
  mate, Like if you read the lyrics, he actually found his father on
• 10:24
  the floor and stuff as well, like as yeah, it's a pretty brutal
• 10:28
  track, man, but I like it. It was actually the first one
• 10:31
  I wrote for Barry Shallow and yeah, oh and then we got actually made
• 10:37
  him cheer up. So I'm quite happy, like with the response I got
• 10:41
  from Jake with that, yeah you gotta go sorry swarm So Swarm that came
• 10:56
  about because we needed another song to fill the set and I had it's about
• 11:05
  vampires, mark, you know. Yeah, So with that song. There
• 11:11
  was riffs in that song that I written when I was seventeen and I hadn't
• 11:16
  used them on anything, and I was thought, you know what, I'll
• 11:18
  chuck him in And there was a bunch of different riffs, and then Brett
• 11:22
  threw some riffs in there too, and it it. Charlie goes, I
• 11:26
  want to write this about vampires find vampires, and we're like, yep,
• 11:31
  done. So we pushed all these rifts together in an afternoon, we got
• 11:37
  this song out and it actually turned out way better than you'd think a song
• 11:41
  that came out in like a couple of hours jam, you know, like
• 11:45
  that song actually came out brilliant. When I think about it, it's punchy,
• 11:48
  man. I love that song. Yeah song, yeah right, moving
• 11:56
  on too, probably one of the best song names I've ever heard. Guys
• 12:00
  have done well for this. Again, those skits so frantic. The credit
• 12:05
  for that. That's the plast story of this. Yeah, that was that
• 12:09
  was my mate. That was just a riff that I just literally sat down.
• 12:13
  I putted it off the court the notes sorry to an a major scale,
• 12:18
  and stuck it in front of me, and it was the first thing
• 12:20
  that kind of came out of my head and I just wanted to write a
• 12:24
  this is a song to be about just like everyone's got all these good voices
• 12:30
  in their head, bad voices in their head, and it kind of crafts
• 12:33
  who people are when I wrote the riff, I haven't put like a song
• 12:39
  together before. So when I wrote the riff, I sat there and I
• 12:41
  thought, is this good? Is this ship? And I was like,
• 12:45
  fucking I toy with it in my head for a few days whether to even
• 12:48
  show the boys the rift, And then when I showed him, like,
• 12:50
  Charlie is about fucking nutting his pants about it, so I was all right
• 12:54
  here, So yeah, I gave Charlie the idea kind of about what I
• 12:58
  wanted to be about. And then I went around Mark's place and me and
• 13:01
  him kind of jammed out and ended up figuring out a few more roots to
• 13:05
  it. And then that was the second one we wrote. So we had
• 13:07
  Death of Me and Schizo. That were the first two songs we wrote,
• 13:11
  and then after that it kind of it just grows grows on your I reckon
• 13:15
  lite. When we went to Jay's at Oracle to record it, I remember
• 13:20
  a few of the boys saying, fuck, I didn't realize how heavy this
• 13:22
  song is, like when you actually sit in the room and blasted, man,
• 13:26
  she's got some mad fucking beef to day. Oh fucking grooves as well,
• 13:33
  right, yeah, And then we got paint with pain. I guess
• 13:37
  I'll talk about one. Yeah, So that one came from a demo i'd
• 13:43
  done. Actually prior to joining the band, I was just daming up tracks.
• 13:48
  I wasn't in the band at the time I left the previous band I
• 13:50
  was in. I actually had given it to a drama friend at ours,
• 13:56
  Luke Spector, who's in the drama for Baby Suspects, and he was filled
• 14:00
  and all this filth and he's just an incredible drummer and we were talking and
• 14:05
  he was just looking for something to jam to to practice because he was just
• 14:07
  wanting some new music to practice to. And I sent it to him and
• 14:09
  he's like, oh my god. I was kind of like, yeah,
• 14:13
  it's just a demo or whatever. It's kind of cool, and he's like,
• 14:15
  you've got to use that, You've got to use that. So yeah,
• 14:18
  when I did end up joining Barrichello, I brought it to the boys
• 14:22
  and then we worked on it, and you know, I didn't have the
• 14:26
  whole thing together, so again we were quite often we'll we'll work together on
• 14:31
  things obviously, modify ad riffs, change rifts, change the little bits,
• 14:35
  change the drums, whatever, you know, like everyone comes up with ideas,
• 14:39
  and then once we had the bones of it musically, Charlie put obviously
• 14:43
  the lyrics together, and that one's a pretty personal one for Charlie about one
• 14:48
  of his best friends, I'm committing suicide, and I guess that was what
• 14:52
  I was talking about these the music about the challenges in life, but it's
• 14:56
  also about what are we, you know, what are we going to do
• 14:58
  about it? And you know, asking people to reach out, I guess,
• 15:01
  you know, And that's kind of a song about awareness, I guess
• 15:05
  lyrically, But but musically it's very fucking groovy and heavy and it's it's I'm
• 15:13
  pretty it's a cool riff. Man. I'm pretty proud of that one.
• 15:16
  I like it too, Like like Goodsiy said about Schizophrantic, I'm pretty proud
• 15:18
  of that that song. It's one of the better songs I've written. So
• 15:24
  Yeah, and for me, like I said, lyrically, it is important
• 15:26
  that your music for me as a message or at least means something to somebody.
• 15:31
  And I think that that song means a lot to me, just because
• 15:37
  I know how much it means to Charlie. Yeah, Charlie, and it's
• 15:41
  my favorite song. Play was that yeah, I'm just saying that pain is
• 15:48
  like when I know that's coming up next in the sett a little bit tingly
• 15:52
  about oh fuck it, I love let this thing lose. According to Spotify,
• 16:00
  so also everyone's favorite song to listen to. All right, okay,
• 16:03
  okay, you've only given him too to listener so far, so it's you're
• 16:14
  going to make him wait for it. The final one of the eup is
• 16:18
  called Suffer. Aren't you me? Tell us a bit about that one?
• 16:22
  Yeah? You ma, you go, I'll take it if you want.
• 16:29
  It's pretty much Stuffer from that. Originally, it was originally written a lot
• 16:37
  more harder than it was, and so I had to adjust a bit of
• 16:41
  the drums to instead of doing just straight doubles all the way through, make
• 16:48
  it until pattern and yeah, it's I think it sort of made a little
• 16:52
  bit better, sort of brought it into a bit of a groove for sure,
• 16:57
  and well, first release, so I don't know about the guitaring and
• 17:04
  whatever else goes on, but it's now easy. That my hardest song to
• 17:10
  sort of get through, and I think it's probably one of our best to
• 17:12
  sort of flog through at the end and finish on the set Yeah, the
• 17:18
  last jams incredible. It's it's probably important to put out there that when Mark
• 17:32
  writes songs, Mark gives Matt unplayable drums, what it means that this ship.
• 17:41
  Yeah, Like but like the way I see it is like if I
• 17:48
  give unplayable drums, then Matt is going to take that as a challenge in
• 17:56
  his head, like even if it's not physically possible, He's gonna try to
• 18:00
  get something as close as he can to like hard as fuck. And I
• 18:06
  feel like that way, like we're like we better each other. I thinel
• 18:10
  that's one important part of this band is I feel like, especially with Brett's
• 18:14
  riffs, Like because Brett writes insane riffs, I feel like every time we
• 18:18
  write a song, like one of us will be challenged in it all the
• 18:23
  time. And when Brett kind of gets off on the oh my god,
• 18:30
  this is you're gonna love it. The clean cutoff, it was just pure
• 18:42
  clean cutoff, you know, Mabe, It's fucking it's It's something that happens
• 18:49
  regularly. Brett fucked us up with his guitar riffs that we have to try
• 18:52
  to play. But I think I think one of the best riffs we've ever
• 18:59
  written is Suffering to Me. I really love the main driving rip and actually
• 19:03
  the verse riff as well. It's fucking catchy as farn okay, and that's
• 19:07
  Mark. Mark wrote that one, and I love it. You know,
• 19:11
  it's one of my favorite songs to play for sure, Suffer unto Me,
• 19:15
  like like you said back, like, I'm really comfortable that I really enjoy
• 19:18
  playing that song. You can release Suffer unto Me and Paint with Pain as
• 19:22
  singles from the So just say that's all someone's heard of the band. Would
• 19:26
  you say they're a good sided representation of what do expect? Yeah, there's
• 19:32
  a lot of different They're just full of power, you know, both songs
• 19:36
  are full of power. They're both punchy as definitely explains explains very Shelley those
• 19:41
  two songs, would you say boys definitely? Yeah, Yeah, yeah,
• 19:45
  Yeah, they're different. They're heavy, and every other song on this EP
• 19:52
  is just as fucking different really, like, yeah, I've heard his rip
• 19:59
  last song, you know. I mean, they're all pretty out there.
• 20:00
  And some of the songs we left off that we have in our lives set,
• 20:06
  Like we have a song called turn Up the Gas, which is my
• 20:07
  other one of my other really favorite songs to play because it's just group new
• 20:14
  metal, isn't it. But it's so yeah. I love playing that live.
• 20:18
  It just gets the crowd up and going, that's that song? All
• 20:21
  right? Shut up about songs and on on the album comes later. He
• 20:26
  started that right, he started, I'm just laying the foundation, I'm just
• 20:33
