  Speaker 1: about a year ago, which we're sort of sitting on
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: at the moment because we're just waiting for the right
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: time to release it, and we just wanted to keep
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: putting out music in the meantime and just building the

  Speaker 1: excuses to go and do stuff. And I've got I've
• 1:08

• 1:09
  Speaker 1: bunch of recording ourselves, and this single and the next
• 1:12

• 1:23
  Speaker 1: cranking it up. We've got more tours booked for later
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in the year. We've I've pretty much got us booked

  Speaker 1: up with shows to November. So this year is going
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to be busy.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, I got to say, before we
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: go any further, mate, like, where do you come up
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: with the song titles like chopping heads, wearing fantsy threads,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: what the fucking?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Where the fuck?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, as everybody knows we are the best
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: fucking dressed people in town, and people also know that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: when we come to other people's towns we tend to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: chop their heads off. It's common knowledge. So it just
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: makes sense to name the two with that and a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: song that. Now, man, I'm just taking the piss, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that's what the song is. The song's just taking the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: piss essentially, Like it's it's a fun one. This isn't
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you know this? We're not getting deep and emotional in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: this song. It's just like straight up cocky, fucking hey,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: this is who we are, this is what we're doing,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna come to your town or we're gonna
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: rip it up. But it's also tongue in cheek. It's like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: we're gonna come to the town, come to you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go play shows. We're gonna come to your town.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: We're gonna rip it up on stage, We're gonna we're
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: gonna have a night. But we're also if you look
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: into the lyrics of the song, if you can understand
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: what's being said, I'm yelling a lot, but like you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it's like, are we coming to play show or are
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: we coming to kidnap and talk to you and murder
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you with with fucking with a DS one distortion pedal.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: You know, we're chopping heads, wearing fancy threads, we're wearing
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: our finest clothes, and we're come on in, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: give you one. So it's a pretty fun, man. There's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: some pretty funny sort of lyrics in this one. You know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: like I kind of ripped a bit of Elvis off
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: where you know he kind of does that shake rattle
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and roll, shake, rattle and roll, says cheap rattle, and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I've sort of reworded it in the bridge and gone, shank,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: grab them and go, because we're coming in there. We're
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: gonna shank people. We're gonna grab them, we're gonna go,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: We're gonna throw them in the van, and you're never escaping.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: You know. It's just us having some fun. Not every
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: song's got to be anger and emotional and whatnot. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: we've got those songs to you. Don't worry. I can
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: get emotional, but this one's this one's fun.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I'm on that subject, mate. Like a lot of Black
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Reino's music is tongue in chee. Can base around fun.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: But how you find it in the modern society where
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: people take offense if you don't spell their name properly,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: like do you do? You find you have to sort
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: of sense yourself a bit, or sense your ideas a bit.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think we have to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: sensor anything we do because because we are just having fun.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, look a lot of our stuff serious, man,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: there's heaps of serious lyrics and probably most most of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the songs really are have have a serious point. But
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we do make sure that I don't know, but every
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: now and again it's just good to have some fun
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: as well. But I don't think we're like self censoring
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. You know, like I don't have
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: any like massive social political fucking topics that I personally
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: need to get on a rant on. It's not really
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: my thing, although we have in some things. I mean
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that song No Time for Numb Nuts that basically is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: an anti discrimination song saying like, you know, likes just
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: sticking up for everybody basically it's but no, Yeah, to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: answer that question, No, I don't think we self censor.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I think we just man, we just have fun lot. Yeah,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I don't think about
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it too much to be honest.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Man, Well don't start now just because I mentioned it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: You've described the song earlier as a sludge banger, but
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: there's so much more going on than that, Like, how
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: would you describe the song musically made Like it just
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: comes out to like about out of hell and just
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: doesn't let go.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got the like it's it's not a sludge
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: song for sure, but it's got sludgy tones and things
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: like that, which is sort of, you know, a bit
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: about thing we've always got that sort of Nana's got
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that guitar tone and and we've sort of rockified ourselves
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a bit more over the years as well, but it's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: always there. And but it's more of a like hardcorey punk,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: like it's sludge punk. I wouldn't call it sluge. It's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: like a sludgy punk sort of thing, you know. And yeah,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just one to get the energy going. Man,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: It's like full circle pit sort of stuff, you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Like it's just high energy, like let's fucking rip in
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: kind of a tune. Really just yeah energy, it's built
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to it's built to play live, that's for sure. It's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: definitely that kind of tune.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Now, Black Rein over one of those bands like you've
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: you've got your own sound in that someone hears a
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Black Reino song and you know that it's you guys,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: which which I think is a great thing. But is
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: that something that you're conscious of when writing music or
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: is it so just come on naturally.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think so it's not. I don't think we
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: sort of went, hey, this is and thank you for that,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: because that's quite a compliment. And if that's the case,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: then it's not. It's I mean, like I don't know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it's just your personality is your personality. And I think
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: because we know with our guitar styles, like you know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: we've just got one guitarist he plays through an octave
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: pedal into a bass rig, so you know there's that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: There's that, and there's other people that do it to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: do that as well, and like you know, like like
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: fucking Astro Death do that. And when I hear an
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Astro song, man, I know it's an astro song. So
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: but that I don't think that comes down to our setup.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I think that comes down to just, yeah, that a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: band that has some personality. I guess hopefully we've got
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: some and they're a band that definitely does and yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I don't know, man, we just we
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: just write what we feel like like sometimes you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: we're writing fucking really heavy, aggressive ship and sometimes we're
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: writing really rocky stuff. For me, it's all within that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: sludgy realm, that sludgy tone, the stonery, sludgy groovy. It's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: always always trying to find the grooves, always trying to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: slip in some groove, but it's always in that sort
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of realm and I mean, yeah, just you know, I guess,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, if we if we sound we have,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: if we have a sound that sounds like us, then
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: fucking awesome.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Chopping heads where Fantasy Threads follows your first single in
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: a couple of years, which came out late last year
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: called Lake Will Rattle. You've mentioned before that you've got
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: an album's REDI material Wait to Go. So are those
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: songs taken from that or are they just.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They're completely completely new? So you know, we want to like,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: we went went over to the States and recorded with Machine,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the producer. He's done like, you know, two Lamb of
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: God records, four Clutch records. Every time I die, Like
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the list goes on, you know, fucking suicide silence, all
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: sorts of Like he's like one of those you know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: like he's produced, like as a music produced myself, he's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: one of those people that I look up to and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: we all look up to for his work and history
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and stuff. And so we sort of we went on
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this crazy adventure over there to record with him and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: do an album and get someone else to do because
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I've recorded everything that we've done that everything we've released
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: has been recorded at my studio, just to mix it
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: up and do something different, you know, just to get
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a different opinion more than anything on what we're doing,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and outside an outside set of years and opinions. And
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: we want to make sure when that time comes to release,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: that we can execute it, not just in terms of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: putting out like cool clips and stuff, but you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: we want to we want to do some pretty special
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: stuff around it, and that's what we're trying to organize.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And we've also got to give ourselves time that you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: we've got to be realistic. We're an independent Australian band
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: playing sludge metal. You know, we don't earn like fucking
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: massive amounts of money. We're all chipping in and we've
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: got to sort of just essentially make sure that we
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: can do that at a time where we can put
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: everything in the right order, in the right place that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: we can give it the right attention that it deserves.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: So we're going to hold that off until I would
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: say next year, and then we're just gonna and well,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you know, we are lucky that we're in a position
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: where we can write, record, mix and master everything ourselves.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: We've got a great studio, we've got a great space
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: for it. So instead of sort of waiting or rushing
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to get something out, which is something you know, I'm
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: sure we've all you know, especially you and I both
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: work in the music industry, have seen bands that have
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: like so frothing and excited about the new thing that
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: they've done, and they just just plan, they just want
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to get it out and they don't really give themselves time. Yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: they don't give themselves enough time to execute execute it
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: as well. They've executed writing those songs, Like it's like, Wow,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: You've spent four years writing these songs and then you
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: just went, it's done, let's put it out, and then
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: it's out and then it's done. Whereas you know, what
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: we end up doing for the release of the album
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: when that comes out is yet to be determined. But
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: we're trying to do some cool shit. So we'll wait
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: off until we've got a good plan around it and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: then yeah, this year we'll just keep putting out music.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna we're gonna be doing another tour
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the year, different places everywhere. Touring
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: is going to be different places, and just man, there's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: some cool stuff. There's just some cool things lined up.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: There's a really cool festival coming up later in the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: year which I'm not sure I'm allowed to announce yet,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: but but it's close to where you live, my friend, and.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I know exactly what true you're talking about.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. And then and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you know, we're getting over to Perth, so that we're
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: heading to Perth for the first time since before COVID
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: for the Splits and Riffs Festival, which has got like
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Green Leaf from Sweden headlining it. There's carn there's Smoke which,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: there's there's a bunch of really cool bands playing. Yeah,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: we're just lucky, man. We're just going to keep We're
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: just going to keep booking shows and we've got yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we've got heaps of gigs booked in and we're just
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: going to keep doing it basically and putting out new
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: music and just keeping the wheels turning. And then then
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in the new year, you know, just planning ahead, man,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: planning for a brighter future for tomorrow, my friend.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: A beautiful thing, isn't it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's wonderful.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: It's mad fun Splits the Rigs Festival Broa on March
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: a second. That's actually the start of a running shows
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: for you that also sees you visit Katoomba, Port Macquarie's,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Central Coast, Dubbo and Orange and then finishes in Sydney
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: on April the twelfth.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Like, that's the short run of dates.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: For you, but there's some pretty pretty out of the
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: way places you plan there.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a different run that would normally do, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: we've sort of done that intentionally some regional shows, some
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: places like Dubbo, like d Up like fucking Dubble, like
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: what we've never played there before, or I just you know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: we wanted to go to a couple of spots that
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: we've just never been. Like, you know, we've all traveled
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: around this country a lot of times now, so it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: good to go to new places. And you know, some
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of these places, you know, we've had requests like hey,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: what are you guys going to get out here? You know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: so we're just just putting the effort in to do it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And then yeah, so yeah, it's it's kind of a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: shorter run that we might normally do on a tour,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: but it's it's got some interesting spots on it. And
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: then like like Central Coast, I don't think we've played.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: We've played one show on the Central Coast before, so
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it's going to be sick and we've got Man, there's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: some really cool bands where we're leaking up with the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Contumber shows off its head, Black ant King, No, I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: can't pronounce the name, really bad boys, very bad at
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: pronouncing some metal band names. And I cast the plane No,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you know, you know the fucking drama from twelve Gay Rampage. Yeah, Luke,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: what's his other band called?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Try and put me into ship just because you can't
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: remember Ben Nate.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Man, I'm just so bad. It mean, I'm just not
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not very I'm not very sophisticated. Okay, I can't
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: spell and read good.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I'll just say someone's listening to list that are in
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: one of those out of the way places that hasn't
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: really heard of Black Reno before, but he's thinking about
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: checking out what three songs are yours should they listen
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: to before they go to a show to get get
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: acquainted with the band.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously chopping heads wearing fancy threads because that's the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: new single, and then probably I mean a classic banger
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of ours is no time for numb Nuts. That's that's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: always a crowd favorite, and then maybe Vortex is one
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of my favorites to play live. Obviously, there's the one
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: we just released as well. Snake Will Rattle is a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: new one. But you know, if you go to the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Spotify and you hit the top most listened songs, they
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: will give you a pretty good idea.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Before we let you go.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Mate, I've got a new segment I've started called photo Bomb,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: So basically I'll troll through your social media before we
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: chat and find a few photos and asked you got
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: off pretty lightly, actually, mate, I found this one that
• 14:13

  Speaker 1: Like why are they playing the Titanic theme song? Like
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: as they're like it was just so funny, we just
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: got They were just so stunned, and then you know,

• 15:40
  Speaker 1: into like a fucking crazy tune and the room would
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: have erupt but we got some pretty funny looks. But

• 15:50
  Speaker 1: intro man, it was just like carnage, like Mayhem. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: then one of the nights was so funny after we
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: played and then I got her up afterwards, and men
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and I were like almost a foot taller than everybody
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: there because Japanese generally speaking, are a bit shorter, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: men now I were both pretty tall people, and and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: we just stuck out like saw thumbs, these two white
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: guys in the marsh. And then like all these like
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Japanese dudes were coming up and tapping us on the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: shoulder and like pointing up and getting us. And then
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: we had this like it was like a it was
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: like a production line of me and Nano grabbing these
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Japanese dudes and throwing them up to crowdsurfing the pit
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: like now that because they've just seen us play, so
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, they will let you know, pumps and
• 16:34

• 16:37
  Speaker 1: dudes up into the pit. Man, it was just like
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: fucking Mayhem. It was absolute mayhem. It was carnage.
• 16:43

• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I think two or three years ago, and I've never
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: done an ice bath before. And then day before I
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: had like my that was the night before because it's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a three day festival. That night before was my part,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: like my party night. We played on Friday night. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: took it a little bit easy, so I didn't just
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: you know, blow my voice out because I was partying
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: like an animal. And the next day I didn't have
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to worry about blowing my voice, so I parted like
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: an animal. And yeah, I had a crazy day up
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: all night, munch and heeds, a fucking acid and shit.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: And and then the next morning there's this ice bath
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and everyone's fucking doing ice bars and I was like yoh,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: jumping there and it was five minutes in the ice
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: bath and everyone was getting in and out fine. For
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: some reason, I couldn't handle it. I got out. My
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: whole body like went into convulsions, like it felt like
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I had lines like a laser light going and I
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: must have just been going into some sort of like
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: fucking cold ice baths shock. And I got out of
• 18:04

• 18:07
  Speaker 1: driven with the night before, who I just met the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: night before, was running this thing. And I got out
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: of the ice bath and I thought I was going
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to absolutely just drop. I think I thought I was
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: just going to hit the ground. And I grabbed him
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: by the shoulders, like, bro, fucking hold me up, man,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I'm about to drop. And he's like you're right. I'm
