  Speaker 4: power ballad, so yeah, pretty much, almost like a heavy
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: rock meets Tim Burton kind of vibe. So yeah, pretty
• 1:19

• 1:34
  Speaker 4: like depression kind of like yeah, dark, somber kind of
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: feelings and aesthetic like kind of put into a song.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: And what's the film to gonna be? Like what sorde
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: is that going to match in with the song?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Definitely?
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna entail the whole tragic scenario happening,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: and yeah, you'll have to wait and see.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Ah. So Get Inside follows on from your pre you
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: single Spiritually Sick, which came out in October last year.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: So how does this one show a different side of
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: the Witching Hour too?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Spiritually Sick?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I think it shows we also have a very melodic,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: crafty side as well as our heavy side as well.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: That's one thing we pride ourselves on a lot of
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: light and sheades, So yeah, I guess it also kind
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: of yeah, showcases our melodic side absolutely.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Your debut single in twenty twenty, Sleep with the Stars,
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: was very well received, made I lifted the profile of
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: the band significantly. So when you were right in that track, like,
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: did you have any feeling at all that it was
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: going to be something special or was it just another song?
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: No, no way. I didn't expect it was going to
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: do as well as it did. When I was writing it,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I just thought, like, because our management at the time,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: they said, you know, we need a good power ballad,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: and I thought I just thought it'd be like an
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: album filler or something like that. And then you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: I said it to management like that's it, that's the single,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, okay, and then it did all right,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: so I was like, okay, wow, yeah, definitely took me off.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: God. So that was a young band coming through, mate,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Like your first song comes out like that and it
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: is really well received. Like does it put more pressure
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: on you moving forward? Or does it take the pressure
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: off you a bit?
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: A bit of both. It definitely. It definitely sets the standard.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: It gives you a standard. It's like, okay, we have
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: to try and top that now. So yeah, I think
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I think this next single, dead Side could do that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: I think for the people that like Sleep I Reckon,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: they're going to eat this one now.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: And I guess like subconsciously too, you know, like you've
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: got that first song that's come out and done so well,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: so subconsciously you'd want to keep following the same formula
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: for that song because you know people like it. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: as a musician, you want to expand as well, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: you want to show a different side of your musical site.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I guess so you said I did to be a
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: tricky situation.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've Yeah, we started experimenting with all different types
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: of and like new songs coming out and after this
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: where we're gonna we're gonna be working on an EP
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: with a lot of different, like different sounds on it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: So yeah, a little like some gothics, some heavy stuff,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: some breakdowns, you know, power ballance.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just all of the above pretty much.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Now, Get Inside is your seventh single all Up that
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: you've released, and you've got the EP or debut album
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: coming out later on this year.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: So are all those.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Songs going to be on it or they just just
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: a warm up for it?
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: To expect.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Maybe a few of the songs, but mean the new
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: songs will be on the EP or album.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: That's a good way to do it in the modern
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: all day like so as I say, you're starting out
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: and your grandpeople with some cool songs, but most bands
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: will just chuck all seven of those on an album
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: and only come up with three or four new ones.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: But you're not giving the fans what they want, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Like it's it's a tough situation.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Oh definitely, yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So as a does a young band starting mate, like,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: what what's the thought process that goes into your first album?
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Like you just put on there what you've got, or
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: do you sort of hold back a bit more and
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: wait till you've got a heap of songs that you
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: want to that you can choose the best out of,
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Like is it a matter of get it out quick
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: or being patient waiting?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: It's like you've got to think to yourself, like we
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: really want to get these songs out, but you also
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: think like what's going to work the best?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Like what are the fans going to like? You know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: what do we like?
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I guess it's all about weighing up a
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: lot of talking amongst the band about like what we
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: think the fans would like, what we like, and just
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: you know, finding a good in between.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Your press release calls that inside the first stone laid
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: for an impressive twenty twenty five. It mentions the album,
• 5:40
