0:46
Speaker 1: what people are. You know what they're requesting now, How
0:48

Speaker 1: releasing an album. My god, you're in the right place
0:54
Speaker 1: at the right time.
0:56
Speaker 2: I sure hope. So I'll tell you that. Well. I
0:59
Speaker 2: have to ask first, how do you pronounce your name?
1:01
Speaker 2: Is it Arrow or.
1:03
Speaker 1: You said it right, Aero it is Zaro. You know
1:05
Speaker 1: what it's like in the industry. You've got to create
1:07
Speaker 1: something that people say, what was his name?
1:08
Speaker 2: Again?
1:09
Speaker 1: Oh?
1:09
Speaker 2: Oh Arrow?
1:10
Speaker 1: I know Arrow, so.
1:13
Speaker 2: Right, right, right right, I mean totally.
1:15
Speaker 1: Look at your band's name, Generation Landslide. That right there
1:18
Speaker 1: says bah man. We are all by ourselves. Nobody's nowhere
1:22
Speaker 1: near us on this name.
1:26
Speaker 2: That is true. I tried to do an old style name.
1:31
Speaker 1: I get it. I totally get it because of the
1:34
Speaker 1: what decade? Now? Would you say the seventies, because that
1:36
Speaker 1: to me is like, you know, the days of that
1:38
Speaker 1: era were bands the name said it all. You went
1:41
Speaker 1: to the album, you got the songs, you went back
1:43
Speaker 1: to the name, you bought the concert tickets.
1:47
Speaker 3: Yes, that's you are absolutely right. I would say late seventies.
1:50
Speaker 3: You could if you wanted to throw early eighties I
1:53
Speaker 3: have no problem with that. You know, eighty eighty one,
1:56
Speaker 3: eighty two were still remnants of the seventies.
1:59
Speaker 2: So but you know, yeah.
2:01
Speaker 1: One of the things that I've noticed in your music,
2:03
Speaker 1: you guys understand the pace of music. Where did you
2:06
Speaker 1: lock in on that to where you're not just throwing
2:09
Speaker 1: things at us in the way of Okay, digest this,
2:11
Speaker 1: digest this. You give me a chance to really experience
2:15
Speaker 1: the music. And then we go in and we started
2:17
Speaker 1: listening to the bass beats, the lyrics, we start listening
2:19
Speaker 1: to the drums. I mean, you guys have got the
2:21
Speaker 1: pace down so.
2:22
Speaker 2: Well, oh well, thank you. I come from old school.
2:26
Speaker 3: I come from old Ted Nugent, old Erosmith, Old led Zeppelin,
2:31
Speaker 3: old Kiss. All that day they from, you know, from
2:34
Speaker 3: beginning to end. You start off with a bang, and
2:37
Speaker 3: then you take your listener all the way through where you.
2:39
Speaker 2: Want to go? How do you want to go up?
2:41
Speaker 2: How do you want to go down? How do you feel?
2:42
Speaker 3: And it took me a long time to put it
2:46
Speaker 3: together in the right propper way that I felt when
2:49
Speaker 3: you listen to those ten songs, from the opening a
2:53
Speaker 3: cappella vocal to the very last little thing on the.
2:56
Speaker 2: Guitar, you want to flip it over and put it
2:57
Speaker 2: back on again. That's, you know, I am what I
3:00
Speaker 2: was going for.
3:01
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you said that, that a cappella
3:04
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because, my god, I'll never
3:06
Speaker 1: forget my engineer telling me we don't do harmony here.
3:09
Speaker 1: If you want to do harmony, you get a new person.
3:11
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, and then you guys have got it,
3:13
Speaker 1: and I'm going, I'm so jealous of what they're doing
3:16
Speaker 1: with their harmonies.
3:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I come from that too.
3:20
Speaker 3: That's old sweet, old queen Old you know all the thing,
3:24
Speaker 3: but you know it starts at the Beatles.
3:26
Speaker 2: You know, everything starts at the Beatles. There's their harmonies,
3:29
Speaker 2: there's their three parts.
3:30
Speaker 3: And you know, to take a chance and open up
3:33
Speaker 3: a record that has a vocal thing like that right
3:36
Speaker 3: off the top, you know, I wanted to take that chance.
3:40
Speaker 1: It wins, It really wins. It's one of those where
3:42
Speaker 1: it's like you reach over there and you want to
3:44
Speaker 1: crank it up. When was the last time that you
3:46
Speaker 1: had that vibe about a song where the very opening
3:49
Speaker 1: notes of it you're going, oh, and then you crank it.
3:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a long time. I can't even tell
3:56
Speaker 3: you how long it's been. At least twenty five to
4:00
Speaker 3: thirty years or so, at least. Nobody nobody does a
4:04
Speaker 3: concept like that anymore. Nobody wants to just start from
4:06
Speaker 3: the beginning and just go wow, and then go oh,
4:09
Speaker 3: and then go wow, and then you know, you move
4:12
Speaker 3: all the way through it. Everybody's just a one thing.
4:15
Speaker 2: That's it.
4:15
Speaker 3: Oh, this is the song we're concentrating on and that's it.
4:20
Speaker 3: Don't care about the concept of a whole you know,
4:22
Speaker 3: record and band and like you said, selling concert tickets
4:26
Speaker 3: and bringing back that old vibe.
4:29
Speaker 1: And yet when you listen to this, this new album existence,
4:32
Speaker 1: it really is one of those where you're going, give
4:34
Speaker 1: me the next song, give me the next song, and
4:35
Speaker 1: you're listening to the whole thing, and all of a sudden,
4:38
Speaker 1: when when when Alexa tells me that that we're done,
4:40
Speaker 1: I'm going, well, what, No, start all over again. That's
4:43
Speaker 1: what I love it. It's like when the needle used
4:45
Speaker 1: to pick up and start right back at the beginning again.
4:49
Speaker 3: Yes, and that's exactly what I was going for. Nobody
4:53
Speaker 3: is doing that nowadays. Nobody is trying hard to really
4:58
Speaker 3: concentrate on the kin songs, the style of songs, the energy,
5:03
Speaker 3: the excitement, and make a full record that sounds like
5:07
Speaker 3: a full record Old Boston.
5:09
Speaker 2: The first Boston record is you know, it.
5:12
Speaker 3: Starts and when you get to the very last song,
5:14
Speaker 3: you go, did I just listen to a seven eight,
5:17
Speaker 3: nine ten song?
5:17
Speaker 2: You know it's it? Yeah?
5:20
Speaker 1: Well, see that reminds me of the old FM radio
5:22
Speaker 1: days were on Saturday nights right at midnight, they would
5:25
Speaker 1: drop that needle on that album and you would get
5:27
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And it was an experience, is what
5:29
Speaker 1: it was. And that's what existence is given to listeners,
5:33
Speaker 1: is that you're giving it. And you guys really orchestrated
5:36
Speaker 1: the length of the songs as well as the position
5:39
Speaker 1: of the songs. You're giving me that album Vibe again.
5:43
Speaker 3: Yes, And I would love for programs like that to
5:46
Speaker 3: come back. I used to listen to those all the
5:49
Speaker 3: time when I was younger, and you'd wait for midnight,
5:51
Speaker 3: Saturday night or Friday night or Sunday, it didn't matter
5:55
Speaker 3: what night it was, and they would put a whole
5:56
Speaker 3: record on.
5:57
Speaker 2: This is a brand new.
5:58
Speaker 3: Record from you know it been it could.
6:01
Speaker 2: Have been Aerosmiths, it could have been you know whatever.
6:03
Speaker 3: You went.
6:04
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, those days I wish would come back.
6:09
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look at the title of the song
6:11
Speaker 1: here running out of time in a very very short
6:13
Speaker 1: and simple way. Now we're not running out of time.
6:16
Speaker 1: It's the next song, the next song, the next song.
6:18
Speaker 1: You're giving me plenty of time to where I can
6:21
Speaker 1: break away from those frickin headlines.
6:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, thank you. I appreciate that that's I.
6:28
Speaker 3: Wanted a little bit of relief from a lot of
6:30
Speaker 3: stuff that's going on in the world and bring people
6:32
Speaker 3: back to enjoy good hardcore rock and roll music.
6:37
Speaker 1: Well, the thing about it, I wish you could see
6:38
Speaker 1: my notes here, and the reason why is because I
6:40
Speaker 1: made that trip from Montana to the Carolinas. I made
6:42
Speaker 1: that fifty nine and a half hour journey, and of
6:44
Speaker 1: course the inner side of my creativity is going, why
6:47
Speaker 1: didn't I have this album when I drove fifty nine
6:50
Speaker 1: and a half hours because that would have made that
6:52
Speaker 1: Did you guys think about the highway driving that people
6:55
Speaker 1: are going to be doing while they're listening to this album.
6:58
Speaker 2: I did, absolutely did.
7:00
Speaker 3: I took it and I thought, if this song doesn't
7:04
Speaker 3: move me, if this song doesn't have a hook, if
7:06
Speaker 3: this song doesn't have a beat, a groove, something that
7:09
Speaker 3: gets me through it's each song was an individual concept
7:14
Speaker 3: put together as ten songs, and yes, driving was a
7:19
Speaker 3: huge thing of mine. I wanted someone to go out,
7:22
Speaker 3: I put the record on, put the top down, and
7:24
Speaker 3: do old Tom Petty running down a dream or or
7:28
Speaker 3: any of those kinds of things that make you feel
7:30
Speaker 3: so good that you're alive.
7:32
Speaker 2: That you're happy.
7:33
Speaker 1: You know, well, I was convinced that you were on
7:35
Speaker 1: the Pacific Coast Highway in California. I just figure that's
7:38
Speaker 1: where the open highway was.
7:41
Speaker 3: That You are absolutely correct, because I lived in California
7:44
Speaker 3: for over ten years and I had this concept.
7:47
Speaker 2: In my head. And if you listen to the record all.
7:49
Speaker 3: The way through, by the time it gets from dust
7:51
Speaker 3: to dawn, that's when I really spell it out plainly.
7:56
Speaker 3: I'm literally gonna go out, I'm gonna go crazy. I'm
7:58
Speaker 3: gonna ride down this highway and I'm going to find
8:01
Speaker 3: this awesome place where i can just have fun. And
8:04
Speaker 3: you know, that's it, And it was specific coast highways
8:07
Speaker 3: exactly what I was thinking.
8:08
Speaker 1: Well, you guys are going to be knocking down a
8:10
Speaker 1: lot of big time doors at the latter part of
8:12
Speaker 1: this summer with that song Love Save Me, because I
8:14
Speaker 1: think that's an adult top forty smash which is going
8:17
Speaker 1: to cross over to these classic rock stations that no
8:19
Speaker 1: longer say classic rock and they're playing rock. We're looking
8:23
Speaker 1: for that one song that is going to open up
8:25
Speaker 1: these classic rock stations to finally start recognizing new music.
8:30
Speaker 3: Yes, and you are absolutely correct. I specifically wrote that
8:34
Speaker 3: song to do just that. I had that whole thing
8:38
Speaker 3: in mind, and I said, I'm going to bring back
8:41
Speaker 3: such old school but modern that people. It's going to
8:44
Speaker 3: cross over so many different things.
8:48
Speaker 2: Yep, on that song as I exactly what I did.
8:51
Speaker 1: Well, that's the way that it was. Even back in
8:53
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties. I mean, def Leppard was heard on
8:55
Speaker 1: every station. I'm shocked that country music didn't pick it up.
8:59
Speaker 3: Absolutely Once again, if you go back to the classics,
9:03
Speaker 3: the iconic bands that you always loved and you always remembered,
9:08
Speaker 3: everybody has to have a chance. Nobody knew who def
9:11
Speaker 3: Leppard was at first, but it's new, original music. You've
9:14
Speaker 3: got to give it a chance. That's what I'm bringing back.
9:18
Speaker 3: Bring back original music, good quality.
9:22
Speaker 2: Just that's it.
9:23
Speaker 3: Just to explore new music from new bands that are
9:27
Speaker 3: old school and old style.
9:29
Speaker 1: You never know, speaking of taking those chances, were you
9:32
Speaker 1: in the studio and the engineer took a chance with
9:34
Speaker 1: that song dirty Little Blonde with that piano, because my
9:37
Speaker 1: experience was, I mean, I'll never forget Jim in my recording.
9:40
Speaker 1: He would go, dude, I got no, Nope, it's called
9:43
Speaker 1: him for a piano I got to get in that
9:44
Speaker 1: room right now and drop what I'm feeling right now.
9:47
Speaker 1: Was that the way it was? Or was it always
9:48
Speaker 1: originally there?
9:50
Speaker 2: Always originally there? That was my idea from the start.
9:53
Speaker 3: Oh wow, absolutely, I I on that song. I literally
9:58
Speaker 3: did not need an engineer to tell me that that
10:00
Speaker 3: was the vibe I was going for. I've heard songs
10:03
Speaker 3: that I loved. A great example is there's an old
10:07
Speaker 3: baby song called Anytime. I believe that's what it's called,
10:12
Speaker 3: and not very many people are familiar with it. But
10:14
Speaker 3: when you listen to the song that has that droning
10:17
Speaker 3: piano in it, and I went, yes, I want something
10:21
Speaker 3: like that. I want something that's boogie woogie that people
10:23
Speaker 3: are gonna go yeah, keeps the vibe going through the
10:26
Speaker 3: whole song.
10:27
Speaker 1: And isn't that odd how that boogie woogie be beat
10:30
Speaker 1: is still alive even today. I mean, it's not that
10:32
Speaker 1: we're sitting there feasting upon it. It just fits so
10:35
Speaker 1: naturally into everything that we're doing.
10:38
Speaker 2: Yep. And it always will. It will never ever ever
10:41
Speaker 2: go away ever, as far as I'm concerned.
10:44
Speaker 3: You just nowadays have to know, in my opinion, where
10:49
Speaker 3: to put it, how to put it somewhere and where.
10:52
Speaker 2: To put it, and you'll be fine.
10:55
Speaker 3: Don't do it on every song, don't do it like that,
10:57
Speaker 3: don't over whatever. But if you find the right parts
11:01
Speaker 3: of the right songs and the right spots, it will
11:04
Speaker 3: it will last the tests of time forever.
11:06
Speaker 1: All Right. I got to ask you this question, did
11:09
Speaker 1: you were you pulling in some vibes from Rush on
11:11
Speaker 1: a few of these songs? Because my god, I'm from Montana.
11:14
Speaker 1: Rush was huge up in Montana, and when I was
11:17
Speaker 1: listening to this, I'm going I know we were listening
11:19
Speaker 1: to the same frickin' albums. There's got to be an
11:21
Speaker 1: influence here from Rush.
11:24
Speaker 3: There is, but it's not in the way that most
11:28
Speaker 3: people would think it is. I took I took Rush
11:33
Speaker 3: vibe in the elements of how they wrote songs in
11:37
Speaker 3: their first three or four years. It was progressive, but
11:42
Speaker 3: it still has a ringing to it. It has a heaviness,
11:46
Speaker 3: but a ringing to it. So it didn't get so
11:49
Speaker 3: I don't know if the word is new. They eventually,
11:52
Speaker 3: in my eyes, turned kind of progressively new wave, if
11:55
Speaker 3: that makes any sense.
11:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was such the perfect time for it
11:59
Speaker 1: at that point in time. Because radio was starving for
12:02
Speaker 1: something to put on those those airwaves, and so all
12:05
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're speaking of an album here where
12:07
Speaker 1: radio was starting to go whoa, whoa, whoa, let's pay
12:09
Speaker 1: attention to this, which instantly got my attention in listening
12:13
Speaker 1: to this album, because I felt like, oh my god,
12:16
Speaker 1: here we go again. You've got my attention.
12:20
Speaker 2: Yes, that was the whole intention.
12:22
Speaker 3: The thing is is I just hope and wonder enough
12:26
Speaker 3: people think that same way and have that same vibe
12:30
Speaker 3: and want to take it back.
12:32
Speaker 2: It's new, I'll be honest. It's new, but.
12:35
Speaker 3: It's old school mixed with modern and I just need
12:39
Speaker 3: the people to respond enough to it to say, yeah,
12:43
Speaker 3: just like you.
12:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, A thousand more of you would be amazing.
12:48
Speaker 1: Please do not move. There is more with Anthony White
12:51
Speaker 1: from Generation Landslide coming up next. The name of the
12:56
Speaker 1: new album is Existence. The song they're pushing right now
12:59
Speaker 1: that I want you to put on your five favorites
13:00
Speaker 1: list is running out of time. We are back with
13:04
Speaker 1: Anthony White from Generation Landslide. What was it like for
13:08
Speaker 1: you to be in the studio when you were doing
13:09
Speaker 1: I've been looking for you only because I mean this
13:12
Speaker 1: song right away is an attractive piece of music. And
13:14
Speaker 1: I always sit there and wonder when when you're putting
13:17
Speaker 1: it together, I mean, in its raw state, it's still
13:20
Speaker 1: inside that imagination you've practiced a few times. But what
13:23
Speaker 1: were you feeling when when I've been looking for you
13:26
Speaker 1: really started to materialize.
13:30
Speaker 3: I thought it materialized in my head as I was
13:32
Speaker 3: writing it.
13:33
Speaker 2: When I went into the all I did literally that
13:36
Speaker 2: song in particular.
13:37
Speaker 3: It's funny you say that that's like a sleeper on
13:40
Speaker 3: the record. When I wrote that song, I had an
13:43
Speaker 3: emotional feeling about a relationship that I'm currently still in
13:47
Speaker 3: and it I said to myself, I don't want to
13:50
Speaker 3: oversaturate this. I need the music. It's a a cross
13:54
Speaker 3: between Judas Priest Living after Midnight and a Z Eazy Top.
13:59
Speaker 3: Not synthesize your guitars, but very very straight, very in
14:06
Speaker 3: just the right spots, and basically it's the words and
14:08
Speaker 3: the melody that take you through the whole song.
14:11
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that is one of the raw songs on
14:14
Speaker 2: the record.
14:15
Speaker 1: Actually, and see, to me, it's one of those things.
14:17
Speaker 1: It's a return to what they used to call deep cuts,
14:20
Speaker 1: and it's one of those where you go no, No,
14:21
Speaker 1: go to this one. Go to this one. You're gonna
14:23
Speaker 1: like this song and you tell your friends about it.
14:25
Speaker 1: Go to this song, You're gonna like it better, and
14:27
Speaker 1: it becomes the deep cut favorite.
14:30
Speaker 2: Right.
14:31
Speaker 3: And as far as I'm concerned, when I was growing up,
14:34
Speaker 3: I didn't I heard the main song. So say like day,
14:37
Speaker 3: for example, more than a Feeling from Boston, and you said, okay, cool, great,
14:42
Speaker 3: that's the single.
14:43
Speaker 2: I get it, but it's not that much different than
14:46
Speaker 2: all the rest.
14:46
Speaker 3: But a lot of the people when you bought the record,
14:50
Speaker 3: they were the sixth song, the eighth song, and you went, man,
14:53
Speaker 3: now everybody knows all of those songs, but those weren't singles.
14:58
Speaker 3: Those were album deep cuts that everybody back in the
15:03
Speaker 3: day made happen. That's what made that record happen. Yeah,
15:09
Speaker 3: I have a great first single, But as you go
15:12
Speaker 3: through that record in particular, there's a lot of stuff
15:15
Speaker 3: on there, you go, yeah that.
15:16
Speaker 2: Could be a single. Yeah that could be a single.
15:18
Speaker 2: But thing weren't.
15:19
Speaker 3: Necessarily singles, but the audience made them that way.
15:25
Speaker 1: Wow.
15:25
Speaker 2: Because of that.
15:26
Speaker 1: See, this is every bit the reason why I call
15:28
Speaker 1: Spotify as well as even iHeartRadio. It's the new you know,
15:33
Speaker 1: a music center, it's the new music record store. And
15:36
Speaker 1: the reason why is because we do get those deeper
15:38
Speaker 1: cuts when we go in there and we've got this
15:40
Speaker 1: long list and you go, all right, let's give it
15:42
Speaker 1: a shot, and all of a sudden, you go, oh, God,
15:44
Speaker 1: of course I had to have this song. And even
15:47
Speaker 1: when you're looking at the song, be here with you.
15:49
Speaker 1: That's another one of those songs, because instantly I get
15:52
Speaker 1: the Robert Plant kind of vibe and all of a sudden,
15:55
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, put this one my favorite, so his favorite,
15:57
Speaker 1: favorite favorite. Whereas and when you went into a music store,
15:59
Speaker 1: you didn't get that from music land where you had
16:01
Speaker 1: a favorites list. But on today's technology, you damn straight
16:04
Speaker 1: I get my favorites.
16:05
Speaker 2: List right, And you're absolutely correct.
16:09
Speaker 3: And that's why I like both of those formats or
16:11
Speaker 3: that these streaming service that you said, because that song
16:14
Speaker 3: in particular, you are correct. That song is a cross
16:18
Speaker 3: between Paul Stanley and Robert Plant.
16:20
Speaker 2: What it's got that vibe.
16:22
Speaker 3: But it's it's it's it could be a single, but
16:25
Speaker 3: is it really. It's just a good track that you go, oh, okay,
16:30
Speaker 3: that's pretty good, you know, you know, I'm not trying
16:34
Speaker 3: to bash everybody over the head with for lack of
16:37
Speaker 3: better words, for some sugar on me.
16:40
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not trying to do that. It's not
16:44
Speaker 2: for some sugar on me Volume one through eight.
16:47
Speaker 3: It's there's a pour some sugar on me, and then
16:50
Speaker 3: it moves on to all different kinds of things, but
16:53
Speaker 3: similar type, vibe, in structure.
16:56
Speaker 1: What you guys are doing on those guitars, what what's
16:59
Speaker 1: what led you to that? Because you're doing things with
17:01
Speaker 1: it that make me want to go to sam Ash,
17:04
Speaker 1: sit down, put my earbuds in and sit there and
17:07
Speaker 1: try to emulate exactly what you're doing. But it's about
17:10
Speaker 1: damn time that we have songs like this and it
17:12
Speaker 1: doesn't have it like a hip hop artist in the
17:14
Speaker 1: middle of it giving me a rap.
17:16
Speaker 2: Right, You're absolutely correct.
17:18
Speaker 3: I come from the old school of Finn, Lizzie and
17:22
Speaker 3: me and the guitar player. We both sit down and
17:25
Speaker 3: as I come up with the stuff, I think.
17:27
Speaker 2: Okay, would this be a good part for this? Would
17:29
Speaker 2: be a good part for this.
17:31
Speaker 3: We want guitar players to learn the songs that aren't
17:34
Speaker 3: that hard but yet are still cool.
17:37
Speaker 2: I'm no way a Steve VII or.
17:40
Speaker 3: A technical whatever you want to call it, and neither
17:44
Speaker 3: is Sandy.
17:44
Speaker 2: He's the other guitar player. He's more technical than I am.
17:48
Speaker 2: But we wanted a.
17:49
Speaker 3: Combination of both, not too technical but not too basic
17:53
Speaker 3: and simple either. That's all we were trying to do
17:56
Speaker 3: is make two guitars sing on their own when needed.
18:00
Speaker 1: That's it, don't you think you guys at Generation Landslide
18:03
Speaker 1: are the band that when people walk into let's say
18:05
Speaker 1: a sam Ash or even when they're talking in public
18:08
Speaker 1: about yeah, man, I picked up the guitar. You need
18:10
Speaker 1: to listen to Generation Landslide because this because you bring
18:14
Speaker 1: up Van Halen or anything like that to a lot
18:15
Speaker 1: of these younger players and they're gonna go, I get it,
18:18
Speaker 1: that's my dad's song. But I bring up you guys
18:20
Speaker 1: and they're gonna go, you know what, dude, Okay, now
18:23
Speaker 1: I know where you're coming from. In fact, I think
18:26
Speaker 1: you say it, don't you say something about it's a
18:28
Speaker 1: new generation, but it's the old generation wrapped up.
18:30
Speaker 3: In one correct, right, meet the new generation same as
18:35
Speaker 3: the old generation.
18:36
Speaker 2: That's exactly correct. So the only.
18:39
Speaker 3: Difference between say, Generation Landslide guitars, and say, Eddie van
18:43
Speaker 3: Halen is sometimes it's more attainable.
18:47
Speaker 2: Sometimes Eddie van Halen, You're not.
18:50
Speaker 3: Let's just be honest, You're gonna bust your butt for
18:53
Speaker 3: years and years and years. Some people will reach it
18:55
Speaker 3: and other people won't. What we're trying to do is
18:57
Speaker 3: do that in between thing there. Maybe there's a few
19:00
Speaker 3: hard licks, there's good riffs on the record, there's good
19:03
Speaker 3: guitar harmonies on the record, and it's a little more
19:06
Speaker 3: attainable for younger people learning music, wanting to write music
19:11
Speaker 3: and wanting to play music. You know, on any of
19:15
Speaker 3: the instruments that are on that record, you know there's
19:18
Speaker 3: good drum stuff and then there's straight drum stuff. So
19:21
Speaker 3: I try to cover all of the basis on all
19:24
Speaker 3: of it. And I know that's tough to say and
19:27
Speaker 3: tough to do, but that's what I was going for.
19:30
Speaker 1: When you were traveling and still are traveling from coast
19:32
Speaker 1: to coast, and because I guess this is going to
19:35
Speaker 1: show you how old I am. I believe in regional music.
19:37
Speaker 1: So when you come to the South and we've got
19:39
Speaker 1: a different kind of style of rock, and you go
19:41
Speaker 1: back out to California, or you go over to Seattle,
19:43
Speaker 1: or you'd be bomped down to Texas and stuff like that.
19:45
Speaker 1: Are you feeling the different regions, because I mean it
19:48
Speaker 1: feels like that you're becoming that one thing that feels
19:51
Speaker 1: where all the voids are. It's like, okay, put it
19:53
Speaker 1: right there. That's perfect. Everything now connects absolutely.
19:58
Speaker 2: And I'm a big believer of that. All my life.
20:00
Speaker 3: I've traveled in bands and everything I've done and stuff,
20:04
Speaker 3: and I pick up little bits and pieces from different
20:08
Speaker 3: regions in the country, and you are absolutely right. If
20:11
Speaker 3: I hear a little twang on this, that's where that
20:14
Speaker 3: comes from. When I hear a little bit more heavier
20:16
Speaker 3: from this, that's where that comes from. I'm always thinking
20:20
Speaker 3: about ideas and things of how to bring music back
20:24
Speaker 3: to where it once was in all the different regions.
20:28
Speaker 3: You know, that's just my nature. It's always been my nature.
20:33
Speaker 1: You gotta laugh a little smile inside when people say, oh,
20:37
Speaker 1: radio is dying, radio is dying. The one thing that
20:40
Speaker 1: I'm not hearing music is dying. I'm not hearing that
20:42
Speaker 1: at all. They know where the music is, they know
20:44
Speaker 1: where to go find it, and they're still looking for
20:46
Speaker 1: the new music and here comes generation landslide right up
20:50
Speaker 1: the middle man, just like MESSI in a soccer game,
20:54
Speaker 1: I hope.
20:55
Speaker 3: So the only problem is that back in the day
20:58
Speaker 3: when radio was king, it was the biggest format that
21:01
Speaker 3: everybody in every car and every boombox had.
21:04
Speaker 2: Now you've got to search so.
21:08
Speaker 3: Far and wide, and a band like us I don't
21:11
Speaker 3: even know how to get it even further than I'm
21:14
Speaker 3: trying to do now. I would love to have the
21:17
Speaker 3: outlet to take Love has saved Me onto this format
21:21
Speaker 3: and be here for you on the this format, and
21:24
Speaker 3: then Dirty Little Blonde on the this format.
21:26
Speaker 2: I would love to do it.
21:28
Speaker 3: It's just it's a lot tougher trying to reach the masses.
21:33
Speaker 1: Yeah. But the journey, my god, I mean you you
21:36
Speaker 1: even talk about the journey in so many different conversations.
21:40
Speaker 1: You talk about the power of music by way of
21:42
Speaker 1: it shaping a journey. I mean you totally understand it, dude.
21:46
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I've been doing it for a long time.
21:48
Speaker 3: I've been through a lot of different situations and a
21:50
Speaker 3: lot of ups and downs and a lot of almost
21:53
Speaker 3: over that humph. You know, they always say you get
21:56
Speaker 3: all the way up, and if they can't get over
21:57
Speaker 3: the last little home you sit and you just level out,
22:03
Speaker 3: And that's been my whole career. I've just never been
22:05
Speaker 3: able to get up over the hump and anything I've
22:08
Speaker 3: ever done, and hopefully this will.
22:10
Speaker 2: Do it well.
22:11
Speaker 1: I think that Schwag is still one of the biggest
22:13
Speaker 1: connections with with you know, when you're out there in
22:15
Speaker 1: public and things and people are going what band is that?
22:17
Speaker 1: What band is that? It's because of that shwag. So
22:19
Speaker 1: what are you guys offering up on the website for
22:21
Speaker 1: Shwag because I want them to get their hands on it.
22:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, that we are just finalizing everything on the website
22:28
Speaker 3: as far as merchandise.
22:30
Speaker 2: We have.
22:32
Speaker 3: We have buttons, we have stickers, we have shirts, we
22:35
Speaker 3: have coasters, we have I mean, we have hats, we
22:40
Speaker 3: have beanies, we have sticker we have so many things
22:43
Speaker 3: that we try to glug with us when we play
22:47
Speaker 3: gigs that we're now finally getting it all organized and
22:50
Speaker 3: sorted out to put on the website so we can
22:53
Speaker 3: just start selling it through that.
22:55
Speaker 1: I was with an opera singer last night and she
22:58
Speaker 1: used that word gigs and I look and she gave
23:00
Speaker 1: you and I want to know what your quote is
23:02
Speaker 1: on this as well. I said, really a gig or
23:04
Speaker 1: is it a performance? And then she gave me the definition.
23:07
Speaker 1: When there's a bunch of drunk people living their own
23:09
Speaker 1: drunk life, that's a gig. What what you I mean?
23:13
Speaker 1: How do you tell the difference between a gig and
23:15
Speaker 1: a performance?
23:17
Speaker 2: You are that sorry?
23:19
Speaker 3: That person is absolutely correct, she is right spot on.
23:24
Speaker 3: When you arrive, everything you do is supposed to be
23:27
Speaker 3: a performance. But being the musician, you can tell the
23:30
Speaker 3: difference between a gig and a performance, even.
23:34
Speaker 2: Though I call it a gig and a show.
23:37
Speaker 3: Yes, a show is you know, if you're reaching two hundred,
23:41
Speaker 3: five hundred and so on and so forth, you're playing
23:44
Speaker 3: two further amount of people. When you're playing a gig,
23:48
Speaker 3: you might only be playing to twenty people fifty people,
23:51
Speaker 3: so you get in fun of their faces. But when
23:53
Speaker 3: you do a show or performance, you extend it that
23:57
Speaker 3: much bigger and that much further.
23:59
Speaker 2: That's the only difference.
24:01
Speaker 3: You should still be busting your butt doing what it
24:05
Speaker 3: is you do, but you know how to play to
24:09
Speaker 3: the room according to the size and the people that
24:12
Speaker 3: are there.
24:12
Speaker 1: So true, where can people go to find out more
24:14
Speaker 1: about you? Guys? Because I'm sure you're gonna be hitting
24:16
Speaker 1: the road this coming fall and getting out here with us.
24:20
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny you say it. Right now, we are
24:22
Speaker 2: looking for a booking agent.
24:24
Speaker 3: We want to get out there and play these songs
24:26
Speaker 3: for everybody. So if we really want a booking agent,

Speaker 3: Cooper's God he because that's obviously.
24:40

Speaker 3: No, And then once you get through some of the
24:47

25:08
Speaker 1: Wow, you got to come back to this show anytime
25:10
Speaker 1: in the future. And if you come to the Carolinas,
25:11
Speaker 1: we got to do a face to face man. We
25:13
Speaker 1: got to go get some southern barbecue or do something
25:15
Speaker 1: where you go. Damn, I gotta live in Carolina.
25:19
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I've already been thinking about it.
25:21
Speaker 3: I have some friends that live in North Carolina and
25:23
Speaker 3: South Carolina, and I'm very very close to pulling the
25:27
Speaker 3: trigger to moving down there.
25:29
Speaker 2: Actually, I love the Carolinas. Absolutely.

Speaker 2: Dude, I love it. I love it. I wish more
25:46
Speaker 2: states for like that. I love it.
25:49
Speaker 1: It just makes it more available to those who support
25:51
Speaker 1: the bands, and then all of a sudden, then everybody's
25:53
Speaker 1: working together because it does take work from those listeners.
25:56
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, I'm just going to sit down
25:58
Speaker 1: and listen to this. No, it's going to take some work.
26:00
Speaker 1: Help promote this album right exactly.
26:04
Speaker 3: Promote the record, Promote original bands, Promote new bands. And
26:07
Speaker 3: I'm not knocking anybody who's in tribute bands or cover bands.
26:11
Speaker 2: I've done them and I still do them.
26:13
Speaker 3: But I want people to understand and realize there is
26:16
Speaker 3: good bands out there, and there's good music out there.
26:19
Speaker 3: You got to give it a chance. You've got to
26:21
Speaker 3: give it a try. That's that's all we're all asking.
26:24
Speaker 2: That's it.
26:25
Speaker 1: Dude, come back to this show anytime in the future.
26:27
Speaker 1: The door is wide open for you.
