• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Will from earshot looking forward to seeing you in September
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: at the House of Rock. I asked this question to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: every single band that I talk to. You know, Corpus
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Christy and you've been here before. It's a rock town.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of rock clubs, rock bands always trying out.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Local rock bands are always trying to make it. What
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: advice can you give to a local rock band to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: take it to the next step?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: You know? I think the most important thing that I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: always tell bands that ask me is you just got
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to write music that you one million percent love yourself,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: because if you don't love it, then why should anybody
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: else write? And consistency. You gotta stay consistent. You got
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to be you have to be willing and ready to sacrifice.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: It takes a lot of energy, a lot of time,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and you got to be ready to move when an
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: opportunity comes up. So it's a lot. It's a lot
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: of preparation and being ready and being willing to adapt,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you know, when things change on a moment's notice. And
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: or also, as you know, the business a lot of
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: times can be hurry up and wait, so you gotta
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: be you gotta be flexible with both. But writing great
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: songs I think is the most important thing, because without
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: a great song, none of the rest of the stuff
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that I would tell you even matters.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, you're absolutely right. Yeah, And I got pass
