3:00
Speaker 1: new single or new album that's coming out.

3:07
Speaker 4: Title, Angels Calling? Yes, both the title track and the
3:11
Speaker 4: album title.
3:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I gave it a bit of a sneaky
3:15
Speaker 1: listen before Chris and I like it. It's that synth,
3:21
Speaker 1: you know, metal new metal kind of sounds like my
3:23
Speaker 1: stuff that I do, which is really cool.
3:27
Speaker 2: Yes, very very much.
3:28
Speaker 1: That that drum synth that that it's it's cool.
3:33
Speaker 2: I really I was impressed. I liked it. I liked it. Yeah,
3:37
Speaker 2: the tweets and the tech techno metal is that we've
3:40
Speaker 2: got to what do you call your genre?
3:42
Speaker 3: Is it?
3:43
Speaker 4: It's so hard like everyone tries to always make is
3:46
Speaker 4: like like say what we but we don't know? Like
3:49
Speaker 4: the main thing also about this band that's so like
3:52
Speaker 4: we do have a synth player. Like there an actual people.
3:57
Speaker 4: It's an actual person playing sins. So everyone is like
4:02
Speaker 4: it's cool that Throy Electronic. I'm like, yeah, well he's here.
4:07
Speaker 4: It's not like he's like it's not like it's a
4:09
Speaker 4: choice from my end, like you got to play something, right, Yeah.
4:13
Speaker 4: So like it's like it's like something in this genre
4:16
Speaker 4: where it's like it's supposed to be guitarist bassed and
4:19
Speaker 4: drums right, but like it's like it's always backtracks or
4:23
Speaker 4: something like that when it comes to synth.
4:25
Speaker 3: But for us, it's like an actual human being.
4:29
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, but here it is an actual human beings.
4:32
Speaker 3: We're like we have no choice.
4:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's cool.
4:36
Speaker 1: Will let you know obviously better way you could play
4:38
Speaker 1: live and things like that.
4:39
Speaker 2: You yeah that's sick. Yeah sure, And so you guys
4:44
Speaker 2: are all baysed Sin Swayne. Is that correct?
4:47
Speaker 4: Kind it's weird, like we are based I'd say we're
4:50
Speaker 4: based in a lay maybe, but also touring musicians, you
4:54
Speaker 4: know how it is, We're in Sweden a lot of
4:56
Speaker 4: the time, building up.
4:57
Speaker 3: For EU tours here.
4:59
Speaker 4: We do have management label some apartments in in La
5:04
Speaker 4: that we are that we are living in as well,
5:06
Speaker 4: so it's it's it's a bit messy at this time.
5:08
Speaker 4: But I'd say that we are kind of like LA
5:10
Speaker 4: based but also in Sweden a lot of the time.
5:14
Speaker 1: And is that because just like like your audience or
5:17
Speaker 1: our listeners and that you can got much action in
5:19
Speaker 1: the Europe.
5:20
Speaker 3: Then I think it was just like easier to make
5:24
Speaker 3: the move.
5:24
Speaker 4: And also like we're pretty serious about this, we want
5:26
Speaker 4: to get pretty big, so so we just thought that
5:28
Speaker 4: it might be just a better thing to do. And
5:31
Speaker 4: there's no industry like Sweden is no, there's no rock
5:34
Speaker 4: industry in Sweden, so we just wanted we just wanted to. Yeah,
5:37
Speaker 4: I mean that's the reaction from from from everyone else
5:40
Speaker 4: in the world, right, but for Swedes it's like there's
5:43
Speaker 4: actually when you say, like there's actually a rock industry
5:46
Speaker 4: in the rest of the world.
5:47
Speaker 3: They were like wow, like you know.
5:49
Speaker 4: So, so it's kind of it's kind of a weird thing,
5:53
Speaker 4: right because Sweden has.
5:56
Speaker 3: Sweden has so much, I mean we're having flames. We
5:58
Speaker 3: have so much. Can't can't remember any of the bands
6:01
Speaker 3: at the gates.
6:01
Speaker 4: I mean, we have so many bands coming from here,
6:03
Speaker 4: but right now, like twenty twenty.
6:05
Speaker 3: Five, there's barely any scene, which is so strange that is. Yeah,
6:09
Speaker 3: so I think we just had to make the move, honestly.
6:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:12
Speaker 1: So you know, view seeing goes pretty crazy for like
6:16
Speaker 1: how hardcore like metal and and that kind of thing
6:20
Speaker 1: over especially Germany and the even Japan's Yeah.
6:23
Speaker 4: They are, Yeah, they are doing their stuff over there. Yeah,
6:28
Speaker 4: I've seen baby metal shows and all that.
6:31
Speaker 3: That's craz We have a.
6:33
Speaker 1: Lot of bands from Australia that do too over there,
6:36
Speaker 1: and just some they get a lot more traction, you know,
6:39
Speaker 1: in there than they do on the home front.
6:42
Speaker 2: That's starting to change.
6:43
Speaker 1: Though, I've noticed over the last you know, especially your
6:46
Speaker 1: twelve twelve months two years that.
6:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're getting more.
6:52
Speaker 4: I mean, i mean one of one of my favorite
6:53
Speaker 4: bands are Australian Make Them Suffer, Make Them Suffer.
6:57
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm familiar with Go they're really good.
7:00
Speaker 3: Yeah. Parkway Drive, that's sick.
7:04
Speaker 1: That's that's just down the road for me. So they
7:07
Speaker 1: they're locals to be the guys from Pway.
7:09
Speaker 3: That's so cool, dude.
7:11
Speaker 4: I remember I remember watching the carry On music, like
7:13
Speaker 4: the live music video from twenty twelve.
7:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was like you're going to speak. It
7:18
Speaker 3: was kind of like one one thing that inspired me
7:20
Speaker 3: to do this.
7:21
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Yeah, They've inspired quite a few, quite a
7:24
Speaker 1: few bands. I recently did alight review for I Killed
7:28
Speaker 1: the prom Queen again.
7:29
Speaker 2: They whole lot of that.
7:30
Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah, Parkway Drive.
7:32
Speaker 2: And as well, and they really they're tired with those guys.
7:35
Speaker 4: So yeah.
7:36
Speaker 1: But I can remember when Parkway started out literally years
7:40
Speaker 1: ago and they just played I think it was an
7:42
Speaker 1: all ages gig at like Byron Hall, like just tiny little.
7:46
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. I saw that on the
7:49
Speaker 4: on the documentary.
7:50
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, that was a great documentary, it was, indeed.
7:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.
7:54
Speaker 2: Yeah.
7:55
Speaker 1: So they're on the home front, which they got Parkways
7:57
Speaker 1: coming up soon, which is the menu first they started.
8:02
Speaker 2: So that's going to be exciting next year.
8:03
Speaker 3: So that's a good that's a good cash cow.
8:06
Speaker 1: Yes, outside the box, you know yeah, hell yeah, hell
8:14
Speaker 1: the Benzilona yourselves is the plans to tour and come
8:17
Speaker 1: down under all. What does the rest of your bill
8:19
Speaker 1: look like for the year and into next year.
8:22
Speaker 4: I mean we have we're going out with nothing more
8:25
Speaker 4: in two weeks here in Europe, which is really really sick.
8:29
Speaker 4: Then it's kind of like Christmas time almost, but we
8:32
Speaker 4: are we are.
8:35
Speaker 3: Announcing is the word.
8:37

Speaker 4: leading up to the next year. So so we do
8:45
Speaker 4: have some surprises in our Yes, there's it's coming up.
8:50
Speaker 2: Watch this space. Not going to give any heavy agony ex.
8:55
Speaker 3: Inside exactly exactly.
8:57
Speaker 4: It's like it's like what do people say, stay tuned, great,
9:00
Speaker 4: stay tuned.
9:01
Speaker 2: Watch you face. It's old school, old school media.
9:05
Speaker 3: I love it. Now it's like like and subscribe, yeah exactly.
9:10
Speaker 4: It's like the world has changed, right the Facebook pages
9:13
Speaker 4: facebook pages.
9:14
Speaker 1: Back in the day, there was no such thing. You
9:18
Speaker 1: just had a marketing manager and at a record label. Yeah,
9:23
Speaker 1: back on the hard way and ding dingy guide bars
9:26
Speaker 1: that you just have to try and gathery crowd and
9:28
Speaker 1: sell some tickets.
9:29
Speaker 3: Now it's following good old days.
9:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what about yourself that what's your presence, Like,
9:35
Speaker 1: how do you guys attack the other new music scene
9:37
Speaker 1: with when it comes down algorithms and likes and followers,
9:40
Speaker 1: et cetera.
9:43
Speaker 4: That's been our that's been our bread and butter. That's
9:45
Speaker 4: how we started. So like so like it's a little
9:48
Speaker 4: bit weird. We we started back in twenty twelve, right,
9:52
Speaker 4: and then we kind of like produced and wrote a
9:57
Speaker 4: lot for others. We're songwriters and producers all of and
10:00
Speaker 4: we do we do everything in the band as well.
10:02
Speaker 4: We don't we don't outsource any production or songwriting or
10:05
Speaker 4: anything like that. But so so so we got a
10:08
Speaker 4: little bit distracted with like writing for others and trying
10:11
Speaker 4: to like we learned about the industry and all of that,
10:14
Speaker 4: YadA YadA.
10:15
Speaker 3: But in twenty eighteen, we.
10:18
Speaker 4: Just like we just thought that, oh my god, it's
10:20
Speaker 4: just like, let's just fulfill the childhood dream one album.
10:25
Speaker 3: It's been seven years. We can do one album, goddamn it.
10:29
Speaker 4: So we just said that we do one song every month,
10:33
Speaker 4: put it out, and then we don't think about it,
10:35
Speaker 4: like that's it, that's it. We don't overthink stuff, right,
10:38
Speaker 4: So that's what we did basically, and we released everything
10:41
Speaker 4: on our own label, and me personally, I'm cut a
10:44
Speaker 4: big nerd on the on the algorithmics and all the
10:46
Speaker 4: all the Spotify things also coming from Sweden. Spotify was
10:51
Speaker 4: really big here back and then they pushed a lot
10:54
Speaker 4: of independent acts as well.
10:56
Speaker 3: So we did.
10:57
Speaker 4: We did get quite quite a few plays on Spotify
11:00
Speaker 4: on the DSPs and on YouTube as well, a big
11:02
Speaker 4: YouTube following.
11:03
Speaker 3: So we played the algorithms pretty well, I'd see. In
11:06
Speaker 3: the beginning.
11:06
Speaker 4: The main part for us has been to learn the
11:09
Speaker 4: other way, like to interact with fans and to do
11:12
Speaker 4: things that's not digital more.
11:14
Speaker 3: We're playing live and stuff.
11:15
Speaker 4: But we we do tend to like the landscape that
11:19
Speaker 4: the music is in right now.
11:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well that's what back like you said, was
11:23
Speaker 1: it twenty twelve you started, and then into twenty seven
11:26
Speaker 1: and eighteen, that was when really just starting to make
11:30
Speaker 1: that like definitive you know, change over that well, this
11:33
Speaker 1: is what music these days, and this is how it's
11:36
Speaker 1: going to be. And it has had some that resisted
11:39
Speaker 1: the change. And because it's just different. It's not that
11:41
Speaker 1: it can't be that, it's not you can't still succeed,
11:44
Speaker 1: it's just different, you know.
11:45
Speaker 4: And imagine like coming from an artist also like imagine
11:49
Speaker 4: making it in like one version of the music industry
11:53
Speaker 4: and then like being completely like just like start over.
11:57
Speaker 3: It's like it's going to be horrible. Yeah, yeah, and
12:00
Speaker 3: there is.
12:00
Speaker 2: And it's funny because like I know, talking to a.
12:02
Speaker 1: Lot of artists and knowing a lot personally myself that
12:05
Speaker 1: there is definitely that there's a whole mix. And it's
12:08
Speaker 1: something though I find quite interesting just to see how
12:11
Speaker 1: different people approach it because you've got these guys who
12:14
Speaker 1: were there, made it in the old school, you know,
12:16
Speaker 1: had their management, record label, you know, records and a
12:20
Speaker 1: store kind of thing, that are now still prevalent and
12:24
Speaker 1: still relevant and still doing stuff that.
12:26
Speaker 2: Had to make that change. And you know, for a
12:28
Speaker 2: long time, you.
12:30
Speaker 1: Know they would they'd say, you know, the music and
12:32
Speaker 1: you know a lot of us aren't making doing it
12:35
Speaker 1: for the money, but they still can be you know,
12:37
Speaker 1: attraction in the maid and money to be made.
12:39
Speaker 4: But of course it's got to I mean money, it
12:42
Speaker 4: has to be made at some point, right.
12:43
Speaker 1: Exactly, And you know, for a long time, you know,
12:47
Speaker 1: the idea is obviously like live gigs and merch were
12:49
Speaker 1: like the two big money spinners, which you know, yes,
12:53
Speaker 1: but like there's still other ways that you can still
12:56
Speaker 1: in your money pool. And so to see the few
12:59
Speaker 1: that I've been on that side and to jump over
13:02
Speaker 1: to the new way and still making it is kind
13:05
Speaker 1: of cool.
13:06
Speaker 2: But I think too also have.
13:08
Speaker 1: Got that that fan base that was established and well
13:12
Speaker 1: and you know, well, doesn't matter what they do and
13:13
Speaker 1: how they do it, they're gonna you have.
13:15
Speaker 4: That kind of like whatever you start with, right it's
13:19
Speaker 4: like it's like you gotta you gotta you've gotta do
13:21
Speaker 4: all sides of it. You just gotta have like you
13:23
Speaker 4: just gotta have curiosity and work all all angles. And
13:27
Speaker 4: I mean like coming from also a big difference right
13:30
Speaker 4: now with TikTok is like.
13:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, TikTok and the fan base interaction, that's that's a
13:35
Speaker 1: really big thing. And you see the guys that do
13:37
Speaker 1: do it, they're the ones that have that and it's fansie.
13:41
Speaker 1: It's great because it's you know, that interaction whereas before,
13:44
Speaker 1: you know, a rock star would be like this untouchable
13:46
Speaker 1: like you know, enigma, whereas fans feel like they're engaged
13:51
Speaker 1: and involved and when they respond, and I think it
13:55
Speaker 1: really strengthens that fan base.
13:57
Speaker 2: If anything, it's definitely a positive.
14:00
Speaker 3: Things as well.
14:00
Speaker 4: And like looking at TikTok, thing that I think, I
14:03
Speaker 4: think the coolest thing right now with that thing is
14:06
Speaker 4: also that it's not it's not even new bands. It's
14:09
Speaker 4: like the Goo Goo Dolls and like the first single
14:14
Speaker 4: that goes like viral for some reason, it's so strange.
14:19
Speaker 4: You're like releasing your first like you're oh my god,
14:22
Speaker 4: and just calling is coming out like we're trying to
14:24
Speaker 4: promote this. Oh, it's so hard, and then you get
14:26
Speaker 4: like completely train wrecked by like a song released in
14:29
Speaker 4: two thousand and one, like you're like what.
14:32
Speaker 3: Like what happening? Like how do I do? Funny? Like
14:36
Speaker 3: going on?
14:36
Speaker 1: And I guess too, it's probably because you've got a
14:38
Speaker 1: whole bunch of you know, different generation of like younger
14:42
Speaker 1: people who are on those platforms and that's there every
14:45
Speaker 1: day that are finding music that they haven't heard it
14:47
Speaker 1: and just going, yeah, this is this, Laps is good.
14:51
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, I've never heard this before. How old is it?
14:54
Speaker 3: In like two thousand and five and you're like, feel
14:56
Speaker 3: so old.
14:58
Speaker 2: It's even then?
15:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's horrible.
15:03
Speaker 4: Those guys are twenty right now, by the way, that sucks.
15:06
Speaker 2: Oh. I know, I have a nineteen year old and
15:08
Speaker 2: a twenty.
15:08
Speaker 3: Five year old, so I oh, there you go, there
15:10
Speaker 3: you go, There you go.
15:12
Speaker 1: Nightmare in wine millennials, and I'm like, there you go,
15:18
Speaker 1: there you go. So it's funny like sometimes we find
15:21
Speaker 1: that that happy meeting where we both enjoy.
15:23
Speaker 2: You know, my girls, you know, they've got good education
15:26
Speaker 2: and good music.
15:27
Speaker 3: That way, it's beautiful.
15:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I love music from all these different genres.
15:31
Speaker 1: You know, I ever categorized myself into one or the other.
15:35
Speaker 1: You know, I'm hardcore rock, I love my hip hop rap,
15:38
Speaker 1: and I'll even get getting a hord down, throw it down, you.
15:40
Speaker 2: Know in some music.
15:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean that's that's our thing. Also as soulons,
15:45
Speaker 4: like we don't we don't care about genres. We're just
15:47
Speaker 4: inspired by by what we do. And I think the
15:50
Speaker 4: why we chose rock music is not really a choice.
15:53
Speaker 4: It's like more something that's like we wanted to give
15:56
Speaker 4: our songs like the maximum experience or something like that.
16:00
Speaker 4: So I think like for us, it's also like it's
16:02
Speaker 4: pop songs, but it's also like it's it's really heavy,
16:06
Speaker 4: so it's kind of.
16:06
Speaker 3: Like it's it's it's just it's just whatever we we
16:10
Speaker 3: we feel, you know.
16:11
Speaker 2: Yeah.
16:11
Speaker 1: And so with your your life like doing lo gigs
16:14
Speaker 1: and stuff. Have you guys done many of those before?
16:16
Speaker 1: Is it something that you want to do more of?
16:18
Speaker 3: Or yeah, I mean, I mean we we want to
16:21
Speaker 3: we want to play more.
16:22
Speaker 4: So so the majority of our of our of our
16:25
Speaker 4: catalog is released during the pandemic. So the first show
16:29
Speaker 4: we ever did wash was uh with five fing a
16:32
Speaker 4: death punch, I don't know week. So we're like, we're like,
16:36
Speaker 4: I did I blacked out? Like I was like I
16:38
Speaker 4: was like, what is going on? Like I went on
16:42
Speaker 4: some kind of like I went on some kind of
16:43
Speaker 4: like my my my body and my mouth did the
16:46
Speaker 4: thing that it was supposed to, but my brain wasn't
16:49
Speaker 4: like communicating between that.
16:51
Speaker 3: Like it's just like it's such a real experience. Yeah.
16:54
Speaker 4: And also playing the live you sit there in the
16:57
Speaker 4: studio and like finish something, put it out into the
16:59
Speaker 4: world and it's somehow got these numbers, but.
17:02
Speaker 3: You've never seen the you've never seen the people.
17:04
Speaker 4: Right, So so for us it was it's been a
17:08
Speaker 4: total learning experience.
17:09
Speaker 3: But also right now twenty twenty five. Coming from it
17:12
Speaker 3: three years.
17:12
Speaker 4: Later, we are really excited about developing our sound live
17:18
Speaker 4: and also developing whatever we feel like we want to
17:22
Speaker 4: do when it comes to the live experience, and we
17:25
Speaker 4: want to give fans the opportunity to experience Soula's life
17:30
Speaker 4: and he just calling the album is basically written with
17:33
Speaker 4: a lot of mind or a lot of live stuff
17:36
Speaker 4: in mind. So it's been a great learning experience. Is
17:40
Speaker 4: something that's very It's huge in the rock industry, live music, right,
17:44
Speaker 4: so it's a nig part of it.
17:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's some of having that conversation with another artist
17:50
Speaker 1: I was talking to just before that.
17:51
Speaker 2: You know, COVID really did.
17:53
Speaker 1: It messed everything up, like it really changed the world
17:56
Speaker 1: that we knew and everything that we.
17:58
Speaker 2: Thought was never going to be taken away.
18:00
Speaker 1: And so when COVID hit it, really I felt like
18:03
Speaker 1: one thing that it really killed and impact was music
18:07
Speaker 1: and live music particular, because so many of us would
18:11
Speaker 1: have done anything for an overpriced beer at a shitty
18:13
Speaker 1: venue in a plastic cup, you know, just to experience
18:16
Speaker 1: live music. And when we have that restrictions lifted off
18:21
Speaker 1: and come out. I really felt that the live music scene,
18:25
Speaker 1: you're just even locally. It had people showing up, turning
18:28
Speaker 1: up because we could not be you know, whereas before
18:31
Speaker 1: it was like an option, it wasn't Whereas if you
18:33
Speaker 1: take that away from us, it's like, no, we want
18:35
Speaker 1: to be here in present. And I you know, sort
18:38
Speaker 1: of seems that definitely, the live live rock music and
18:41
Speaker 1: just live music in general is really it's kind of
18:44
Speaker 1: quite a healthy status.
18:46
Speaker 2: So to seem.
18:47
Speaker 1: So yeah, and it's some you know it as even
18:51
Speaker 1: like you know, cover bands are playing it like just
18:53
Speaker 1: local small venues and whatnot. And I mean some of
18:55
Speaker 1: those guys are able to make a full time job
18:56
Speaker 1: out of it, you know, because they can they can
18:58
Speaker 1: look like you're in there and everywhere and some yeah,
19:02
Speaker 1: and so you know, the face of music definitely, I agree,
19:04
Speaker 1: it's it's it's certainly different change, but it's far from
19:08
Speaker 1: being over and done with an AI you A, I
19:10
Speaker 1: will never replace that experience between an artist and their
19:14
Speaker 1: live audience.
19:14
Speaker 2: You know, that's you can't you can't replace that. You can't.
19:18
Speaker 4: No, I mean, if they it's got to be like
19:20
Speaker 4: hologram thing right, it doesn't whatever, let's see what happens,
19:28
Speaker 4: you know, like a sci fi movie.
19:30
Speaker 2: Holograms have to use your mind.
19:35
Speaker 3: It would be like, oh what have I doing?
19:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have everyone in the twenty seven Club on
19:40
Speaker 1: stage at once you know.
19:42
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that would be crazy.
19:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing, nothing is impossible. Yeah, we get we get
19:50
Speaker 4: to experience we are the world in person like that
19:53
Speaker 4: be sick.
19:55
Speaker 2: It would be so cool, Like.
19:59
Speaker 3: Everyone's like yeah.
20:02
Speaker 2: Exactly, yeah, and look you never knows that. We laugh
20:05
Speaker 2: about it now, but we could be looking back at this.
20:07
Speaker 1: And not too far future and we're going are the money.
20:11
Speaker 3: That's the That's been the situation for far too many things.
20:14
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Like an episode of the System, they predict
20:17
Speaker 1: the future.
20:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
20:19
Speaker 4: The only thing we're missing right now is flying cars, right,
20:22
Speaker 4: I think that's that's basically it.
20:24
Speaker 3: Yeah.
20:24
Speaker 1: An Australian artist called Seth Century and he's got a
20:27
Speaker 1: song called hopper Board. It's like, oh sorry, it's called
20:29
Speaker 1: de science and it's like science, where's my hobaboard?
20:32
Speaker 2: I've been waiting for it since the eighties.
20:34
Speaker 3: That's cool exactly.
20:36
Speaker 2: It reminds me of board flying cars.
20:40
Speaker 1: It's but in saying that, though there is technology with
20:43
Speaker 1: drones that have I was hearing about not that long back.
20:46
Speaker 1: That it's enough to transport like people like passengers to
20:50
Speaker 1: like an uber service that will actually take hold from
20:53
Speaker 1: place to place without being on the road or flight
20:55
Speaker 1: pass et ce next time, just teleport me. When we
21:00
Speaker 1: got teleportation down part, I know we've won.
21:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a big thing. I would like to be teleported.
21:05
Speaker 4: I hate this flight, dude.
21:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's still too much risk involved. Just teleport me, exactly. Indeed.
21:13
Speaker 2: Oh that's well, well that's exciting.
21:14
Speaker 1: So so when the officially your new tracks are out,
21:18
Speaker 1: what state for those is the Is it the.
21:20

Speaker 4: there's a few interludes, but there are ten tracks, but
22:05
Speaker 4: there are they are bringing the punch, So it's a
22:09
Speaker 4: it's a short album, but I'd rather have you really
22:12
Speaker 4: listen to it than to Actually it's over real perfect
22:17
Speaker 4: perfect length exactly, yeah, exactly.
22:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there is a perfect length to
22:21
Speaker 1: a song. You know, between that two minutes thirty three
22:23
Speaker 1: minutes is match. So usually what most people tend to lose,
22:28
Speaker 1: lose interests, otherwise lose attention span.
