  Speaker 4: supporting artists and making sure they get kind of, you know,
• 1:04

• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you're going to be on the night?
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I mean a little bit nervous, but honestly, in my mind,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: I'm just like, surely speed have it in the bag.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Confidence made. I like it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I'm confident they've got it. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Sort of gets me a little bit.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Like the category is called most performed hard rocketted metalwork, Like,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: does that mean that whatever band performed their own song
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: more times in twelve months is a winner?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I was looking into it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: It's it's kind of confusing, but yeah, it seems it's
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: a bit of that, but also in terms of where,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: like if your song's being played at you know, sporting
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: events on TV and stuff. So it's all those kind
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: of things as well, which it's really cool, and it
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: has been interesting to see Dante in particular kind of
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: hopping up in places I haven't expected, you know, AFL
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: like AFL games. It's kind of in the background between
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: commercials and stuff, and yeah, it's pretty surreal really to
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: be hearing our music in those kind of in those
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: kind of spaces.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Better and you're listening out for more.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Now you know that that one particular song being played
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: can get you at your southern.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit. I mean I'm more of a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: league guy anyway.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: But it will pop up kind of all over the
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: place anyway, so I'm always keeping my ear out. There
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: was one I think there's one point as well where
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: it turned up on an episode of Home and Away,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: which was right, very different. But yeah, it's very cool
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: and nice.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I know black is the only total rainbow for metal
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: heads made. But if you put much thought into what
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: you get to wear all the.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Night, yeah, I'm not too sure.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I mean I actually really like wearing a suit, So
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: we'll have to wait and see. Probably just something simple,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: but you know, everyone kind of goes big for these
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: kind of things. We'll see how we go.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And I know Winston was there.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Last night with our last year, so with Parkway Drive
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: bringing in the award, he handled himself like the true
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: superstar that he is.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Bray, so have you caught him yet for chips and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: fashion advice?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I have not, But I mean Winston is just generally
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: an inspiration. He's always so well, so well spoken, but
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: always comes off so cool and kind as well. You know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: he's so appreciative of everything that Parkway have gotten, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: it's something to look up to, kind of not getting
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: lost in the noise of it all and getting kind of,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: you know, too big headed. To see someone like that
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: still being so gracious and humble about these kind of things.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: That's something I definitely will have I've always taken away
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: from Winston.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I was actually there last year and I went able
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to chat to him mark he wanted and there was
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: just people everywhere on a piece of him, and his
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: smile stayed on his face the whole time.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: He didn't once look like he wanted to be somewhere else.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: He's a true ambassador, absolutely totally. Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Now, I hate to use the term competing when it
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: comes to music made, but it affect you're up against
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Pelowasis make them stuff a Polara's Speed and Midway because
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: so why is north Lane going to get the chocolates?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Oh? I don't know.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, it would be awesome to get it, but
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: in the end, Yeah, once again, I'm not the kind
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: of dude who's gonna gas myself up too much. We
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: are in a category within a bunch of amazing bands,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: and they're all all friends actually, so it's kind of
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: it's hard to say, but for me, I mean, we've
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: been around the block, we've been doing this for a while,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: and it's been really cool to see the support on
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: a song like Dante.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So if we were to win it, that would be amazing.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: But in the end, who ever wins it, I think
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: everyone's just so hard working and just as deserving. So
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: definitely not for me to say that we are one
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: hundred percent have it in the bag.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, have you got.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: A speech prepared just the case so you're gonna wing it?
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm gonna If it was to happen, I'd
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: have to win, you know. I Yeah, I don't want
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: to get ahead of myself, but there's obviously so many
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: amazing people involved that I won't forget if it comes
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: to that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Last year was the.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: First time this category was included for the hard rock
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: and heavy bands, and it is awesome that they did,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: But I notice they still haven't asked.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: A heavy metal or a hard rock band to play
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: on the night.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Have you even noticed said I have that being said,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: it's I guess because it is such a broad event.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I guess our style of music might be a bit
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: scary for some of the other bands, some of the
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: other artists, they're some of the more pop focused, or
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: even just the indie indie artists. But maybe maybe in
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the future it would be awesome, awesome to see that crossover.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: And I think as as some of these heavier bands
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: are kind of, you know, bridging kind of different styles
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: and also even with a band like Speed, kind of
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: transcending the genre and kind of hitting so many different
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: places being a hardcore band. Yeah, I think it's it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: probably going to happen sooner rather than leader.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I think another way we can look at that too,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: is that Friends of Rom's stuff, but for everybody, when
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: they had so much fun.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: A few years ago.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Of course friends of Rom will do that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I actually spoke to jabout that the other day, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: he's quite proud of it, quite proud of the way
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: they represented us Rich.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's punk rock, that's what it's all about.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Exactly. A lot of them sort of more serious, not bro like.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: How good is it to have music on this recognized
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: on a national level now. For so many years we've
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: been the bastard child, let's face you shoved in the
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: corner and no tape brush on the head every now
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: and then, who's a good boy?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: But we're finally actually this music is.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Out there now and people know that we've been represented
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: by bands like yourself.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It's how important is that for the future of Australian music.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, I think it's just shows as well as
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: as it has been in the last you know, five
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: to ten years, even heavy music has kind of kind
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: of been worldwide, and especially Australian bands.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Whenever we're touring.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Overseas, I feel like Australian heavy bands are kind of
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: the talk of the town, especially in US and Europe
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: and stuff, just because there are so many awesome bands
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: working so hard to get over there, and I think
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: in the end it is kind of putting Australian music
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: on the map in a different way around the world.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: So it's really really cool to see that it's being
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: recognized in that way, and I just hope that it
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: keeps on growing and keeps on kind of getting bigger.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Speaking of good Australian bands, I told a friend of
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: mine earlier on that I was speaking today and he
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: ranked me about two minutes before I spoke, and he's gone.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: My son Corey is a massive fan of theirs, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: he wants to know who north Lane's favorite Australian bands
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: are at the moment.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, favorite Australian bands at the moment. There's a few
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: different ones. I mean, Carnivals always go to for us.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Carnival is such a big inspiration for us as our park.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: In terms of there's a few newer bands or like
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: younger bands that I really like, like Thornhill. They just
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: put out a new record that's amazing. I really love
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: that band. Also, there's an artist named Eka Vandal. She's
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: like a punk rock kind of crossed over with at
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: times with kind of an R and B hip hoppy vibe,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: and she's one of my favorite artists at the moment.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: But there's far too many to name. To be honest,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Win Waker as well. I love wind Waker, so it's
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: really cool to see them in that Apple category as well. Honestly,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: all the bands in our category, I just I love
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: them all. They're all all good mates and all ridiculously
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: good bands. So definitely let Corey know to check them
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: all out.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: It's it's hard to I've had people ask me to
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: say ding and it's like you get put on the spot.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: You just can't think in that moment.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, So after the APA has made, got a little
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: bit of tie off and then North Lane head out
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: on the all Over Australia Regional tour that kicks off
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: and Glassdon on July the thirty first year.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: A heap of regional areas wind up in Chelsea Heights
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: on the twenty fourth and August.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: So decent run of shows.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Mate, Absolutely, I love doing a regional tour and we're
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: heading out with Ocean Grove as well, which we haven't
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: We haven't done a tour with them in a long
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: long time. They were We toured with them maybe six
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: seven years ago, pretty early in my time with North Lane,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: and it's great to see them continuing to build on
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: what they've done. But yeah, the regional runs are always
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: so much fun and it's cool to kind of get
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: back to almost where we started. We're playing venues like
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: you know, like Penrith Panthers and stuff, which for north
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Any in particular, that's like a that's.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Like a home home ground. Kind of show. You know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it's where it all kind of began.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: So that's awesome and I love I love playing Chelsea
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Heights as well. That's such an amazing venue and there's
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: so many cool places that just don't get these kind
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: of shows very often, and when they do, they like
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: really go go hard for it. So yeah, I'm really
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: looking forward to it. And being at home, it's always
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: just it feels like comfortable, you know, and it's it's
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: like our it's our bread and butter, being just playing
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: the pubs, playing the playing to the punters who just
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: work all day and just.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Need a bit of a you know, need a bit
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of a what am I looking for? What's the word
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for?
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Need a bit of a break at the end of
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: the day, you know, just want to get let loose
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: and listen to some heavy music. So it's always a
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: good time and I can't wait.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I can actually put you on the spoty mate. I
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: can apologize in advance because I only just thought of
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: this question.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: But who do you reckon? Goes off more regional crowds,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: all your city crowds.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, you know what, like I love the Yeah, I
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: love the big capital city headline shows.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: But I think that the.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: City folks, you know, they're a bit more like self conscious,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: you know, a bit a bit more like everyone what
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: does everyone think of what I'm doing in this crowd
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: right now? And they still they still go off and
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: they still have energy. But I think that the yeah,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: the regional shows where the people are are really having
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: having a good time. You know, they're coming to a
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: show that's like a five minute trip from their house
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: down the road, and you know they'll be exactly They'll come,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: have a few beers, come out. They're there for a
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: good time. You know, they're not just there to see
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: another band on a on a weeknight.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: You know that they're they're down, they're really excited.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: So to be honest, I think the regional tours, the
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: regional crowds really go off.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: City both lift the game absolutely.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: So from there and on maybe taking it a time
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: off to write your next album, Like have you given
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: much thoughts to what direction is going to go?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: And yet or does that sort of more time later.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've been slowly chipping away at stuff behind
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: the scenes for a little while, but yeah, I mean, honestly,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: it just feels like what's happening what's going to happen
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: next is just a natural transition from the Mirror's EDGP,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: And I don't know it's always hard because I feel
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: like what we're always trying to do is just build
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: on what we've done the last time, and it's it's
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: not necessarily like a big shift in direction, but there's
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: always going to be new elements and experimentation on stuff
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: that we haven't really done before. So I guess people
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: should just expect, you know, just more growth from what
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: we've done the last couple of releases.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: See the Raise A good point that, right, because not
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: under a band.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: A lot of bands say their sounds always evolving, but
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you guys actually do, like every record has got so
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: many different elements on it. As a band, do you
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: feel pressure because of that going into the next one,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: like people expect you to go off in another direction?
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Or is that just part of the process.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Well at this point, I think I think if you know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: when a band does make really drastic shifts in their
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: sound and you know it sounds very different from their
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: last release, they can kind of get caught in a
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: bit of a trap of like, well, what's it going
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: to be? Is it going to be heavy, Is it
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: going to be soft, Is it going to be whatever,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be something in between. But I think like
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I'm really happy and kind of proud of what we've
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: always done, which is never really we've never tried to
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: like fit what's currently happening, and we've always just tried
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: to do what makes us happy and what makes us
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: feel good. And in that sense, yeah, I I don't know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: it's a yeah, it's it's it's never felt like much
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: of a There's always pressure, obviously to write the best
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: thing that you can, but there's never any pressure to
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: kind of be pushing it too far or like what
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: are we going to do next?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Like everything we've done always feels like a really.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Natural progression and it's almost just personal growth in terms
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: of like even with John with his writing of the
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: music and the instrumentals, like it's him taking what he's
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: learned from maybe you know how these songs have gone
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: down live and then taking that into the next writing
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: session and being like, well, this kind of energy was cool,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: this kind of was a bit of a funny vibe live,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: So maybe we'll try and not it will straight away
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: from maybe this tempo or this kind of vibe, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: it's always just felt really natural. And I think if
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: we ever made kind of a big, big shift and
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: kind of went away from the sound we've been building,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: because we've kind of always been doing stuff in incremental well,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: there's been incremental growth. I think we've been able to
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: give ourselves freedom to do anything we want, so that
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: I think it's cool. You know, when a band shifts
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: sounds or maybe maybe goes a little bit softer, whatever
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: that is, and that's kind of just the direction, then go.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: I really like that we can do that and then go
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: maybe write a song that's a bit more electronic or
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: melody focused, but then still go back to being heavy
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: and still write these songs that are meant to be
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: heavy songs, not meant to be poppy or melodic in
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: that way. And I think that's just given us so
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: much freedom to just do whatever we want straight bro.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Now, before we let you go, I've got a new
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: segment I've introduced called photo Bombs. So basically, before we chat,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I've gone through social media and I've found a few
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: photos that I want to.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Know a little bit more about. Okay, I've found this
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: one here, man like.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: That's sick.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's funny because Joshi does Joshi doing some crowdsurfing,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: but he's had some issues.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: With his back lately, so yeah, yeah, he's getting on,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: he's getting on, but he's.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Had to retire the stage over this the CrowdSurf. So
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: this is a I'm sure if Josh sayes this, he'll
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: cry because he's like, I.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Can't do that anymore, No kidding, he's all right, weren't.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Be pretty bloody play that?
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Like did you guys get the ships out of when
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: he hit a bum note when he was doing that?
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Well no, but I've got a funny story about that.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: There was because he would do that like last song
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: of the set, but it would be like last song
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: and then into into an encore, so you know, we're
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: meant to walk off stage and act all mysterious and
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: people will be like, what's happening and they're going to
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: play another But there was this one time where he
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: had his like his belt pack on and it fell
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: off while he was crowdsurfing. So when he got back
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: to stage, when we've all walked off stage, he's like
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: on the mic being like, hey, if anyone finds like
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: a pack on the floor, could you just please come
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: hand it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Up to the stage. So it really killed the moment, right.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: This other one I found made is a little looks
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: a little bit more personal, mate, Like, it looks like
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: he's captured you in a pretty introspective moment.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: That well, this was actually yeah, this was recording The
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Mirror's Edge EP at Will Partner's house at his studio,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: and honestly this was just a bit of a laugh.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: This is This was towards the end of us recording
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: and we were having a big family dinner with Will and.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: In his partner.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: And yeah, we just thought it was it was funny
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: to all sit around the table and maybe say grace.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: You know, it just looks like I made standing by
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: him there is just getting ready to throttle him.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now he's giving him a blessing, and I saw, right, Micha.
