  Speaker 4: song for the occasion.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all about that toxicity and yeah about my marriage,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: yeah very much.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: It's a mirror.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: What is the song actually.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: About, Like, of course it's not about balance Ye's Day,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: because I don't think there's one bit of love amongst
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: all members of your band.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So what's the Falling about?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's basically about toxicity within different scenes, especially
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the music scene, Like you'll have something good going but
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: then you'll just have a rat basically just eating away
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: at the scene and just making it toxic.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: We can all do without that sort of shit, can we?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Oh couldn't?
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: We don't tell us about the song a bit more
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: from a musical point, of view and what you're going
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: for with it.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So the song was actually sitting in our demo folder
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and Dan, just before Panda and Thiago joined the band.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Dan's like, oh, we need to go through the demo
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: fold and just get rid of shit we're not or
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: just archive it basically, and that one came on and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the start of it, I was just like, oh, thirty
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: thirty one fifty ston sour straight up.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: So I was like, oh, let's do this one. So yeah,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and then that's how that started.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Nice and yeah, oh so is there a music video
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: for it? I haven't seen one yet.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's just getting the final edits now. Hopefully you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: have it out this weekend. We just had a little hiccup,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it's It was a bit of a spontaneous video.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We were just going to do a lyric video, but
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: then we had some free time in a free day,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: so we thought, what the heck, let's do a music
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: video for it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Oh and what's that sort of set it around?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: We just it's an old gas containment area, so it's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: just got a nice brick wall. It's quite funny because
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: there's no power running there. So we had an inverter
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: off someone's work car, Panda's work car, and it just
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: kept tripping the whole time time, and ah it was
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it's a bit of a headache.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: There's a storyline for the video follow on for what
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: the song's about.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: No, not quite.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: It's just just us playing and just us jamming along
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: together and just embracing each other because like through the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: obviously the toxicity and all the ship that goes on,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we just hold together and we keep like really good
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: friends in our group.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: So and the ones that do right by you, right
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: by you.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: So.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: But there's there's no masks or no no cameos from
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: people in masks.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: In the film clip.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Nah, no, no.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Next time, next time.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Your successful track NCB that came out late last year,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: So how does it differ.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: From that one?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It's a lot more heavier, more straight to the point NCB.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We were meant to release that ages ago. Obviously, we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: went the lineup changes and then we finally released it
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: with the latest line up. But we've fallen. It's just
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: straight in your face. It was a hard decision which
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: one to release first, but yeah, we just we wanted
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to ease our way in with this new lineup.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And is it a standalone single or part of a
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: bigger picture.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So yeah, this is number two now of eight track album.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: So we've got NCB Fallen, and there's four more getting
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: done within the threat next three months, and then two
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: more after that, so we'll have an eight track album.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Nice And then how's the music on that gonna differ
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: to what was on your twenty twenty two deb'd be Unleashed?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It's got it's a lot more so, like not all
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: our songs sound the same, and this album is going
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to show that it's just all our genres and all
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: our Oh what do you how do you say it
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: all our influences? You can say just all in one album,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: but each song obviously has their different parts.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Have you got a working title for the album yet?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Now? It's in the making self titled, self titled.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: The press release says that The Fallen amplifies everything in
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Grave fans love.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Would you agree with that statement?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I think it really.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Shows our energy on stage, Like I believe we've got
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of energy on stage, and I think it
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: just bridges that and shows that through just listening to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it for your headphones or whatever.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: So a lot of those lines, but like what is
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: it that you think fans love about Engrave, Like what's
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: parts of the band resonate?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You think.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: We're very multicultural with Dan, Dan and Tiago. No, I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: think it's just us being in ourselves. Really, we're not
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: perfect people, I think, which is like no one's perfect,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Like some people absolutely think they're perfect, but yeah, we're
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: not perfect. So I think that's we can relate to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: people like that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I sort of touched on this before, but you've finally
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: settled on a solid, consistent lineup, mate, Like, how how important.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Is that in the evolution?
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Like you's've done some great stuff with people coming in
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: an out of the band, but now you've got solid
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: and you're happy with it, Like it's got to be more.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Productive, oh, way more productive like this last couple of months,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: like we've done redone NCB, we've done Fallen, we've done
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: two film clips, We've already we've got four other songs
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and ready pretty much ready to be recorded.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: That's which starts straight after this tour we're in the
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: studio for.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But it's just the positivity is a lot better, like
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you always have, Like everyone has their ups and downs,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: but even when someone's having their down everyone's picking each
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: other up, whereas before we've had like one or two
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: people just.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Pushing that negativity.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So if someone's down, they're like, oh yeah, that guy's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a f wit or whatever. So whereas this line up now,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: like I talked to Dan every day on the phone,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: even though he lives in Sydney. Yeah, so like every
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: time I talk to Dan, he's just always so grateful
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: with this current lineup, like yeah, just no one's been
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a dog or anything. So which is great and a relief, very.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Important, very important.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: So you're celebrating and release of the single boy doing
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: the Fallen chore or on the East Coast starting and
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Bridge and on February forty eighth before he lives more Sydney, Penrith,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Seaford and finishing in fitz Roy on March of first.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: So what can we expect for you from from here
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: on those shows?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Just a lot of energy.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I think we were going to play add another new
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: song to the set, but we're going to hold off
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: on that. But yeah, it's it's going to be a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: good one. Lots of energy. Hopefully we don't get too tired,
• 8:33
