  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Sure, Well it just started when I was about like

• 2:51
  Speaker 1: been putting out music from there, and yeah, like we've
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: grown so much since then, just music wise, and for me,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: like you get such a good feel for it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this is a great next step for us.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Right, And your bio says that you bring exciting new
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: ideas and sounds into pre existing genres, Like can you elaborate?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I think like that's something you deliverately do like try
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: and spice.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Things up or yeah, I mean, like.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I was like a big fan, especially when
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I was younger of like all ninety stuff and like
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the whole brun scene and stuff like that. So I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: kind of like take concepts like that, you know, basic
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: chords and stuff and just put my own spin on.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: It, just in that kind of way. Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So as a young band coming through, bro, Like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: is it a difficult thing because all this music's like
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: it's already been there, done that. People love it, But
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: is it easy to I was supposed to mold it
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and create something of your.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Own out of it. Definitely.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I Mean you can't like just give someone the same
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: thing that they've already heard. They're not gonna like, they're
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: just gonna think it's a copy of a copy, you know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So it's it's important for it to be different. Like, uh,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I think what I go for is if people listen
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to the music and it reminds them of something from
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: say the nineties or whatever, that'd be great, But like
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I also want them to think, oh this it's got
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a new spin on it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It's more modern, you know. Yeah.
• 4:29
