  Speaker 4: musical point of view and what you were going forward
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: to this summer.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, so, uh, we we started writing this one,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: uh honestly during COVID and different sections, different periods of
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: different sections of time, you know, like we took a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: break and then we started back on it again. And
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: we've been holding out of this record for a long time.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It was it was completed a long time ago. I mean,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: finally to have it out now feels feels awesome. But yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: we you know, we were writing as a band in
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the studio and we were just you know, bouncing off
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: song ideas, bouncing off lyric ideas, and like we were
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: going through you know, hard times that I guess you'd say,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: like it during uh, you know COVID, were wondering if
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: we're going to continue as a band or we're going
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to keep doing this kind of thing. So yeah, it's
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: just pretty much, you know, it's a bunch of our
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: work combined in which makes an album. Yeah, so we're
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: we're stoked on it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: It's like it had a bit of a prolonged release schedule.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: The first single, Torch Payer, came out in twenty twenty three,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: so I suppose it showed it showed the evolution of
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: a band over top of year period, really, isn't it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, We honestly we were wondering if we
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: would even put that on the album, and we decided, yeah,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: let's do it. That song when we play live goes
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: over so well and people are just mashing and it's
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a great live song to play.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of a lot of songs, mate, like you
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: would have had a chance to play a lot of
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: the songs from the album live by now, so were
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: there any either went down better than you thought they
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: would or any that maybe didn't go down as well
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: as what you hope they might.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I feel like, uh, right when we started playing Elevate,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that song just popped off live. You just saw people
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: bouncing and uh just enjoying it. And that's one of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: my favorite songs to play live right now still is
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the other ones we when when we started doing uh
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: more of the clean things. So it's my first time
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: ever doing cleans on a Born of as Syrus album.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I was kind of like, are people are gonna like this?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: You know kind of thing, but uh, at the same time,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to do it too, because that's what
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I wanted to do and I wanted to try new things,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and yeah, and those songs go over great lives. So
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: we got the we Got a Mind Short Circuiting. That's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: just a very brute, little technical song, and it just
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: people are headbanging every song so far, I feel like
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: all the newer stuff, it's like when we play the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: newer stuff, it's like you can hear a difference compared
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to the older stuff. You can just tell like this
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: is just, you know, we're just getting better at our
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: craft kind of thing.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: You mentioned McLean singing, like how did you got with it? Right? Like, Sid,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: it's the first time you've done up on the border
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: of the Sars album. So was it? Was it daunting
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: or was it foden or was it challenging?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know when we you know, like
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: during COVID and stuff, I always say COVID, but like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you know, we were writing a lot of music together
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: as a band. So I would go to hang out
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: with my friends in Chicago and they'd be like, sing
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: on this, do it. I'm like, you know, I don't
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: really sing, like you want me to try singing on
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: this for real? And like so I would go in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the studio and I would work on their music and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I would sing on their stuff and they're just like, dude,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you got it, man, you got to do this more.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, well yeah, sweet, I want
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to do it on a Border with Osiers song. It
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: made me feel confident to bring it to Born of Osiers.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fan reaction.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Have you had much feedback from the fans or do they?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like it's been mainly positive. I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: know there's there's always those metal fans that say Cleans
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: do not belong in metal, and I, you know, I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: respect that. You know, if you don't like Cleans, you're not.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But like I feel like, you know, if there's a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: time and a place, I feel like it makes the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: song more, uh, you know, makes it different.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very shadow as easy as seventh album as
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: a band mite, So do you think it gets easier
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: or how did they come up with a fresh material?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: The more you're at it depends.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: You know, everyone get those gets those creative rets where
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you're just like, oh man, nothing's coming out. But like
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: usually what inspires us is like going on tour, touring
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: with other bands, seeing seeing other bands live can help.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: And and then when you finally you know, you come
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: home from all the casts that we just went through.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: You want to write something, and usually something good comes
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: out after you're back home from tour.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so a lot of those lines that would you
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: say that Borns have changed or grown musically from your
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: debut A Higher Place three to three Shadows.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I mean we were kids when The New Rain came
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: out two thousand and seven. We were just stretched out
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: of high school, uh thirty six now, so we've been
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: doing it for a while, and I mean, I still
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: think we keep some of the elements from the New Rain,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: but you know, not as technical and some songs more.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: We have more structured songs now with like you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: a verse, chorus and whatever whatnot.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: But yeah, we we we try to harness the energy
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: we had when we were you know, angst teens and
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: uh you know, but I guess we've been We've been
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: slowly evolving in our own sound, and like I feel
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: like we when the New Rank came out, people kind
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: of start, like they said to us, like you kind
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: of started this movement where you got the keys.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And the breakdowns and like the syncopated like electronic elements
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: into metal, and like, I guess they're saying, we're one
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of the pioneers. I don't know if we are, but
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you know, so that's kind of cool to hear. But yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: we just like we just like uh trippy, heavy, fun
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: music that you can rock out.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: To as a band, I guess might like how much
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: musical price do you think you've got left India?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: How much do I? I can keep going? You know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I got nothing else to do?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: You know, this is it?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: This is it? So hopefully many more years and uh,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you know, we've you know, we've had obstacles as a band.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of a lot of artists do.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And you either got to push forward or or give up.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: And giving up doesn't feel good. So you don't want
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to give up. You want to keep going.
• 8:22

• 8:23
