• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Say, can you tell us a bit more about the
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: song from a musical point of view and what are
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: you going forward it?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: So?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in the past, with our singles that were before
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: this year, they were more kind of like pop punk esque,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and with these new singles this year and our upcoming EP,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we kind of wanted to move the instrumentation to be
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: like more heavy while still keeping this like emo tone
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to the vocals. So we've got this cool contrast going.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so this third single kind of really cements
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that moving into that sound.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: All right, and how would you say it difference from
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: your last single, Helped Me?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the last single before this was a Ability
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and then like help Me with in February, and I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: think help Me is kind of like the softest of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the three, and then moving to Accountabilities like full full
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: heavy there, like we had the screens from the guest
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: vocals with Amaraia from Future Static and then this one
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Picture perfect kind of finds that in between. I think, right.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: So did those three all sum up the overall feel
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and the sound of the EP?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I guess yeah, yeah, yeah, that were definitely. That's definitely
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: why they were chosen for the first three singles, to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: just like introduce what it's going to be really.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Nice and then what more can you tell us about
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the EP? If you got a title and then release date?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: We do have the title. We haven't announced it anyway yet,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we may as well do it now as well. Yeah,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the title is called Scarlet Springs, and yeah, it'll be
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in September, so keep it ear and an eye out.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Could you won't be out to here that in the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: background it was my daughter laughing. I'd send your old
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: daughter called Scarlet and since she had laughing, because you
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: got an album.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Of that, yes Scarlett.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Neither will there be any more singles coming out of it?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Or are you just three?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: This is I'm sorry, my voice cracked. This is the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: last single before yeah, the whole EP comes out.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: So yeah, So as a young emerging band, I guess,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: how do you approach your first EP? Like do you
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: sit down and have conversations about where he wanted to go?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: And how you want to do it or is it
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: just play as it comes?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: We definitely, yeah, we had heaps of conversations around it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Me and the bassist were more on the pop punk side,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: wanting to stay like a little bit more poppish, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: then the guitarists and the drummer like they grew up
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: listening to prague and metalcore and they were like pushing
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: for this heavier sound. So there was a lot of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: conversation to try and find a place that worked for everyone.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I reckon we got there.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: When you say conversations, I mean sitting in the room
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: punching each other until you got got with a new one.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: A lot of raised voiceles.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: No, music industry today is a lot different than what
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: it was Stay ten years ago. So again, as a
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: young band coming through, like do you plan while waiting
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: months to use in advance or do you just look
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: at your next thing coming up and work towards at I.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Think it definitely depends on them on the band. I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for one, I just need I need everything to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: organized in stressed and ready, otherwise I'm going to like
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: stress out. So we planned pretty much two years in advance,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: so like last year, we spent the entire year putting
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: together all our assets like our music, videos and stuff
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and just making putting everything in a nice, neat package,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and then this year was focused on getting it all out.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we had those two years planned.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Same for someone who's not really too familiar with the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: banded Spaces now, tell us bit more of like where'd
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: you come from?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: What's what's your plans?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Well, we're all from the southeast of Melbourne. We released
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: our first single back in twenty twenty one, did like
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: no promo around it, had no idea what we're doing,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and we're like slowly build ourselves up and learnt and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: come to a much more understanding place of the industry
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that there we are at the moment. And yeah, I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: don't know why I asked to go with that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Looking through the press release that I had, there's there's
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: a line in there that said big things on the
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: horizon for this Space's house.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So is there anything you can tell us about that
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: or we're gonna have to wait?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Well, the EP was definitely definitely one of the big things,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and yeah, there's definitely going to be a show in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: October that people should keep an ear out for it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: That's also not been announced, so it's just a sneaky
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: little wait for that show.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Where's the best place to keep up with the band then?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: And find out what's going.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: On Instagram for sure. Instagram we're very very active on,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and TikTok as well and YouTube. They're kind of our
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: main three. We're also on Facebook, just not as active.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, all of those places nice.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Never going to put you on the spot.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Here a little bit general, I've got a new segment
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I've introduced called photo Bombs. So basically, I go through
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: your social media and I come up with a few
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: photos that we want to know a little bit more about.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, come up with this one for you.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Like, I've heard of some weird fetishes before, but I
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: can't stay I've ever heard one that involves licking a
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: helmet that's not a skeleton.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Completely forgotten that exists there, all right, So this is
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: from the behind the scenes of our music video. We've
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: gone in May. This music deo is always going to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: be so special, like in my heart, because we made
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: this set in a shed where I live. So we
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: put all these like fly balls together and painted them white,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: made the little weird window and just made the whole
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: set ourselves, and the whole concept of the music video
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: was ours as well. So it was just a very
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: special one.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Why are you licking the helmet?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Who knows what I do? Honestly chronological reason for the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: photo moment, I think.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Right, okay, we'll move on to this one as well.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: This looks like a fun movie, you know, and something
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I reckon I could I could enjoy.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Hell, yeah, that was fun. Actually that was from our
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: first music video ever, from My Name, and we hired
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a bunch of costumes from a local costume shop and yeah,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: just kind of like ran around the house. If you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: watch the music video from my Name, there's really not
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: much story. We're just like we're just running around being silly. Really,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: but yeah, the video starts with all of us like
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: on a couch watching like a horror movie, and then
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the horror movie becomes the music video. So yeah, another
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: special one.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I noticed I made from Texas jainsaw Masca hasn't got popcorn?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Is that because you've got no mouth to put it in?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, brother, he does end up with popcorn.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Not just this guy on the end. He doesn't look
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: scary at all. He looks like a fluffy Chelly tubby.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: That's cramps.
• 7:38
