  Speaker 1: year who I fell for.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes you just write what's on your mind,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and that's all on my mind.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: How did she go with the road?
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I know, women like to be serenade and they like
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: the romantic side of things, and this is anything but
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: when you listen to it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: So how did she like this? Yeah?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And I mean she's not like a metal head or
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: anything either. I mean she she used to listen to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: some heavy stuff. I think when she'll be younger. But
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: but you know, she's not at home cranking Slayer on
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: a daily basis as as people like you.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And I tend to do. But no, she loves it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: She thinks it's great. So yeah, worked out well. She
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: seems to like and she listens to it every day,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: which is cool, and.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You know, she's good about us accomplished.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: So she's worked well.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: The film clips saw some too, as are all of
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: your film clips private?
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: This one and sees the band playing a number of
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: different locations, including the kitchen and the basement.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: So what's going on? Is there a storyline that or
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: is it just random random bands?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: That's more loudroom. That's where I live. That's just my
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: lund room. Yeah, so that's that's.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Normally I'm doing an interview from or for these things.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I normally sit out there and do it. But but
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: my flatmates out there watching the movie or.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Something, so I'll leave him be. But yeah, it's just
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: more lound room.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So we needed somewhere to s We're thinking, oh, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: we've done a lot of narrative clips and we haven't
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: really done many just band clips. We did one recently
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and that was pretty cool, and then we thought we'd yeah,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: do something yeah, yeah, just something like just a traditional
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: band clip really because we haven't done many of them,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and we're trying to think of you know, basically, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: need a cool space that looks cool, and luckily my
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: lounge room is just full of surfboards and skateboard's hanging
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: on the walls everywhere.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So it sort of fit the vibe, you know.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they bade us love song follows on from your
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: previous singles like We'll Rattle and chopping heads wearing fancy
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: bred So are they all standalone singles or are they
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: part of a big album repeature?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: They're all stand alone singles. We've got an album that
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: will be coming next year. We've got it written and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: recorded and it's it's a banger as well as all
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: of our shoes are, of course, of course. But yeah, no,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: we've got a whole album coming out year that'll be
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: all fresh stuff from that. But yeah, this year, we've
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: just we've just been waiting to do that album, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: we've been waiting a while. We recorded it a couple
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: of years ago, but as you know, you know, it
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: takes a lot of effort to.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Do these things right, and we put a lot of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: effort into that record.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: We would have recorded it with Machine, the producer who's
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: done like Lamb of God and Clutch and every Time
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I Die and all these sorts of bands like this,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: you know, big sort of producer guy.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: So we wanted to make sure we.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Had everything in the background line up to release it properly.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: So we've just sort of held it off on that
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: for a little bit. I had some health issues and stuff,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and I know you know about this, but so you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: for me, I had to sort of slow down a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: little bit. I had had some injuries, some physical injuries
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that I had to sort of take care of. So
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: there were some things there that you know, I had
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to get taken care of first a little bit, and
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: so we did slow up for a little bit at
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: some point. But yeah, we just sort of thought, well,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: next year, we're going to do the album instead of
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: sitting around waiting, like I mean, I've recorded everything we've
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: done so far in my studio. I've got like that's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: my job as well, is music producer, and we've.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Got the space.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So we thought, well, instead of just waiting to release
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: this new record, let's just record some more songs. It's
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: pretty simple. We just go to the studio and track
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: some songs. So yeah, so we just let's just keep
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: putting out new music and just doing stuff basically, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: then next you we'll start working on the record.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Now, the other big news, of course, you mentioned at
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: the top of the show, is that Mike Greno are
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: heading out on our badass East Coast tour started in
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Euy and order to first you hit Victoria, New South
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Welles again, queens Lay and New South Wales again and
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: finishing the acc on the thirtieth of August.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: So what can we expect from those shows?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, about us music basically, because it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: About us you guys ready for a good time.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean basically we're and it's like you're taking
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: this new song out on the road, and we've got
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a couple of new songs that we've just.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Released in recent times as you mentioned. So there's a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: couple of fresh ones in the in the in the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in the in the in the what do you call it?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: The song list?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, so new tunes and then basically, you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: three dudes on stage just fucking go on ham pretty
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: much that's what we do, you know, just have as
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: much fun as possible.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And give it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Everything we've got, leave nothing to waste, and and just
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: get out there and rip it up. Basically, everybody rip
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: it up.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: But there aren't a lot of shows in there, bro
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: and in your life shows anything but pedestrian. So how
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: much effort and how much practice goes into the shawl
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: like this before you actually go out.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, like we've started booking this,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you know, six seven months ago, eight months ago, something
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: like that, booking in the date.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It's all the effort that goes towards it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: It's it's a huge it's a huge effort from ever
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and involved artwork, you know, recordings and.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: You know, video clips and all that kind of stuff.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And then and then preparation basically we just get together
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and we go through that set list and we jam
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it and we just work on it and make sure
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that we're tight when we hit the road and and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you know, like basically just make sure we've got our
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: songs tight. Essentially, it's pretty simple. And then what happens
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: on stage is you know, in between the songs things
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: like that that that's different every night. It's not like, yeah,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: we don't have like those you know, pre written, pre
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: rehearsed crowd interaction chit chats that you know sometimes appear.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Everything's definitely off the cuff in that sense, and as
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: it should be in my opinion. So man, is we're
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: just going to get ready to go out there and
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: fucking smash it up. And we've got a sick list
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: of bands we're playing with. Two Like, there's some really
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: cool bands that we're playing with, you know, the d
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Y Show. We've got like the Darren's they're like killing
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: it at the moment, sick punk, surf punk, like Penrith.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: There's Thraxus they've just put a new.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Album out, they're killing it at the moment, and scum
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Fu and Piefly and then there's like ab Reacting in
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: uh in Bendigo and Harold whole Search Party and man
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: like go smoke it down in Melbourne.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: We got It's.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot that's hard to go through. I'd
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: love to go through everyone shout out, but there's too many.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of bands. There's eleven shows and so
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: that's like we're playing with what thirty three other bands,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and there's like Necrosonic Festival, So that's going to be insane.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: It is indeed.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Like the light up for theft Sonic, Like it's going
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: to be a huge Liane like, how do you approach
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: a festival like that? Do you approach it with a
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: view to having fantasy in bands? You focus on what
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: you've got to do more.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So yes, both.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, like obviously you know, I'm probably
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: not going to hit the cans too hard before we
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: hit stage. Usually you know that doesn't actually help. It's
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: funny it hammit before you play, but let's be honest,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: you don't play as well. So we you know, we
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: will just make sure we don't wreck ourselves before our
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: set and then afterwards free range.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Basically we're just going and joy.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: All the bands. Like those festivals are unreal. Half the time,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: we know a bunch of the bands on the festival,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and then you end up meeting a whole bunch of
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: other bands that you haven't you know, played with before,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and it's just a massive catch up. It's just a huge, you.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Know, get together. It's just a big social it's so
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: much fun.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And just yet watch all the bands enjoy the atmosphere,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: chat with all the people in the crowd that say gooday,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and just enjoy the festival as anyone else would and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: except you know, we get that extra bonus of playing,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: And the other festival on that Runner shows it's a
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Canberra metal Festa on August the thirties, so what.

• 10:01
  Speaker 2: that's that's a sick festival at at the Basement, which
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: is like a really well known venue in the act
