PODCAST: Episode 743 - Austin Collins of Back from Zero on Their "Five" and Their Epic "Warriors-Themed Music Video · Ghost Cult Magazine Podcast

• 0:00
  And that was the lesson I learned in this because I'm a
• 0:02
  guitar player. So you always write the song
• 0:04
  like, oh, I wrote this song and however you want to do it.
• 0:07
  And then you get to the to where we are at this point where
• 0:10
  there's so many people involved that it's not just you and your
• 0:14
  song. It's not just one person.
• 0:15
  It's the team that actually makes all of this come to life
• 0:19
  at the end of the day. And I'm just so proud to have
• 0:22
  worked with all of these people on this.
• 0:30
  What's up everybody? It's Kefi at ghostcultman.com.
• 0:33
  I am super stoked to be talking to Austin from the rock band
• 0:36
  Back from Zero today. How are you doing?
• 0:38
  Pretty good. Thank you.
• 0:39
  Thank you for having me. I appreciate being here.
• 0:40
  Yeah man, very excited about all the things you have going on.
• 0:44
  So much to talk about. But First things first, let's
• 0:47
  unpack the history of the band a little bit.
• 0:49
  I always like to start with a new interview that's new to me
• 0:52
  and new to our fans. To hear a little bit about your
• 0:54
  back story. How did you get into playing
• 0:56
  music and then how did this band begin?
• 0:58
  Wow, that's a long journey. I've been doing it for many a
• 1:01
  years and I started playing guitar when I was I think I
• 1:05
  think like 8 years old or 12 years old somewhere like really
• 1:08
  young age. And funny thing about playing
• 1:10
  the guitar and the my very first lesson that I played actually
• 1:13
  cried trying to hit the note because it was like so tentative
• 1:15
  on my finger. But then Fast forward many years
• 1:19
  and here we all went back from zero and I played school music
• 1:23
  through high school and all that.
• 1:24
  I've been in 1000 bands just like most guitar players have
• 1:27
  been and I love every minute of it.
• 1:29
  I mean, there's UPS, there's downs.
• 1:30
  At times you hate it, you wish you never learned, yada yada.
• 1:33
  But at the end of the day, it's the greatest thing I've ever
• 1:35
  done is play music, you know? So here we all went Back from
• 1:39
  Zero and I've been with these guys now for about, I think
• 1:43
  about 12 years. And the cool thing is, here's
• 1:46
  how the whole thing came together with Back From Zero.
• 1:49
  I had had a project that I was trying to get off the ground.
• 1:52
  I was like completely solo. I was just trying to still find
• 1:54
  musicians. And then at one point in my
• 1:56
  life, I found this woman who she found me.
• 1:59
  Vice versa, however you want to put it.
• 2:01
  And one thing led to another. And The funny thing was she's
• 2:03
  like, hey, she's like, my son happens to be a singer.
• 2:07
  Would you want to jam with him and see where anything goes?
• 2:09
  So I was like, there, why not? Let's check it out.
• 2:12
  So lo and behold, it worked out really well.
• 2:15
  And he had a friend who's actually in our studio right now
• 2:17
  in the other room, Eric, who's a drummer.
• 2:20
  And he came on board and we, we literally, I mean, it seems
• 2:24
  like, you know, we got a lot of things going on right now, which
• 2:26
  is cool, but we started in Eric's basement rehearsing twice
• 2:30
  a week, and he's very small. Very dungeon like basement twice
• 2:36
  a week on a little 12 inch amp and everything else.
• 2:38
  And you know, here we all putting out videos.
• 2:41
  So that's like in a nutshell kind of what happened.
• 2:44
  But that's How I Met these guys. It was actually funny enough all
• 2:46
  through my girlfriend. Nice.
• 2:47
  Being from New York myself, historically, I know there are
• 2:50
  no such things. We rehearsed in his giant
• 2:53
  basement is no such a sense has ever been uttered by anybody,
• 2:56
  especially in the five boroughs. I'm from the Bronx.
• 2:58
  I lived in Brooklyn for a long time, for five years before I
• 3:01
  moved out here. When I came back, I was in the
• 3:03
  Bronx for like 33 years and it's the same thing rehearsed to my
• 3:06
  guitar players. Basement.
• 3:07
  We have half a basement for a band.
• 3:10
  We made it work. Drop, drop ceiling.
• 3:12
  Not the best acoustics, but you make it work.
• 3:15
  What a killer band. So far it seems like there, you
• 3:18
  know, there's a lot of depth and fun to the band, which I really
• 3:20
  love. And we'll talk about the Taking
• 3:22
  Back the Night video in a second.
• 3:23
  You know, everybody, it's funny, I I, I was listening to some of
• 3:26
  your stuff on Spotify and then the next music that came on was
• 3:29
  all like G&R Down, Black Label Society.
• 3:33
  So it's like, you know, Spotify is like, if you like this, well,
• 3:36
  here's some other stuff you probably already like and listen
• 3:38
  to. I think there was some Alice In
• 3:39
  Chains in there. So awesome.
• 3:41
  Yeah, it was fun. It's fun to get like, what's
• 3:43
  relatable, right? And yeah.
• 3:45
  You know, obviously you said you played in 1000 bands and
• 3:47
  probably different kinds of bands, right.
• 3:49
  But like. Yeah, I played different types,
• 3:51
  yeah. Hard Rock is kind of the
• 3:52
  universal rock love language, right?
• 3:54
  So like, I could see why that's the thing for you.
• 3:56
  I I would agree to that. Hard Rock is definitely, in my,
• 3:59
  in my opinion, my favorite type of rock'n'roll.
• 4:01
  Yeah, no, there's nothing like a hard drive just like what, what
• 4:04
  I would call like a dirty rock band, you know what I mean?
• 4:07
  Just a down home really just grinding it out.
• 4:10
  Rock'n'roll band. Absolutely.
• 4:12
  So then the bands you mentioned are very much on par with all
• 4:15
  the influences I've had over the years.
• 4:16
  I mean, I, I see you wearing a shirt that is that.
• 4:19
  I don't know if it is a Guns and Roses shirt, but it resembles 1.
• 4:23
  And it's funny, I almost wore an Appetite for Destruction shirt
• 4:26
  for the interview. I I ended up with Bigfoot.
• 4:29
  I went with Bigfoot, but I almost went with Guns and Roses
• 4:32
  and they were a huge on just everything that we did.
• 4:35
  All the bands you mentioned, Alice in Change, another huge
• 4:37
  influence. That whole Seattle scene in
• 4:39
  general was a huge influence on just everything we've done that
• 4:42
  I've done anyway. Personally.
• 4:44
  Yeah, But no, I've been in a lot of different bands a little, a
• 4:46
  lot of different types of music. One of my favorite bands is the
• 4:49
  Black Crows of all time. I absolutely love those guys.
• 4:52
  Rich Robinson is a huge influence, to say the least.
• 4:55
  And at one point I was in a band many, many years ago, and that
• 4:59
  was the style that we were doing, you know what I mean?
• 5:01
  We were doing more the Southern rock style.
• 5:03
  So yeah, it varies, you know. Right on.
• 5:06
  It's a it's not an actual guns and roses shirt.
• 5:08
  It's like the spoof shirt from a a brand called meth syndicate
• 5:11
  that I like a lot. They make funny, you know, it
• 5:13
  looks like one thing, but it's another.
• 5:15
  It actually says seal says SEAL kiss from a rose.
• 5:18
  But it's the guns and roses logo, right.
• 5:20
  That's great. So it's funny.
• 5:22
  There's a there's a few of those people have seen me wear their
• 5:25
  shirts. I love I love the black crows.
• 5:27
  I actually never thought they would reunite.
• 5:28
  I thought the brothers absolutely hated each other and
• 5:31
  they would never be able to get it like even be friends let
• 5:34
  alone make a whole their new albums awesome I actually.
• 5:36
  Really. I have it in my phone.
• 5:38
  I haven't listened to it yet. I'm going to do that over the
• 5:40
  week. I can't wait.
• 5:42
  Yeah. Yeah, it's really good.
• 5:43
  And I got to see them live actually a year and a half ago
• 5:46
  for the first time since like the 90s, and they were so good.
• 5:50
  I hadn't, I had just missed them, missed them with all the
• 5:53
  things. And I remember seeing them back
• 5:55
  in the day. I was like, they were so good at
• 5:57
  what they do and they were so good and dialed in now.
• 6:00
  So it's nice. It's nice to have them back.
• 6:02
  It's funny, the black froze out of every band I've ever seen
• 6:05
  live. They're the band I've seen the
• 6:07
  most times live. I love going to a black froze by
• 6:10
  all means. I've I've probably seeing them
• 6:11
  like close to 20 times. I've been following them since I
• 6:14
  first since they first originally came out with shaking
• 6:17
  money maker whatever year that was.
• 6:19
  I think that was 91 if I'm not mistaken.
• 6:21
  But since then, man, I mean, I've, I've, I've never put them
• 6:24
  down. They're just, they're a great,
• 6:26
  just great rock'n'roll band. I just love them.
• 6:28
  Right on, I'm pretty sure Chris thought that he was going to be
• 6:30
  like a humongous solo star, right, could be like a Steven
• 6:33
  Tyler and be able to have a career out.
• 6:36
  I think he thought that he would be like I don't need my brother
• 6:38
  or the band and I can also do this.
• 6:41
  But it's nice to have them back. I know there's there was the
• 6:44
  bigger a band gets there sometimes some drama.
• 6:46
  So it's cool that they're it's cool that we can have some of
• 6:48
  these legacy bands come back to our lives.
• 6:51
  But let's let's talk about back from zero.
• 6:53
  Man, I love the taking back the night video and track.
• 6:55
  First of all, the song is a banger, right?
• 6:57
  It's a Ripper. Thank you said like a super
• 6:59
  reminding me of like early ACDC, A lot of boogie or Z top, like
• 7:03
  very aggressive rock. And then the video is hilarious.
• 7:06
  I'm, I was back in New York. I was back in New York last year
• 7:10
  and I didn't get to go to Coney Island, but I got to go to Coney
• 7:13
  Island with your video, which was great.
• 7:15
  And it was. Great.
• 7:16
  And if anybody is a fan of the Warriors movie, which I of
• 7:19
  course am, you know, it's it's kind of a nod to the Warriors,
• 7:23
  which is hilarious, said you, I think you guys all played the
• 7:26
  different, the tribes. Yeah, we played every gang in
• 7:30
  the video, Yeah, and it definitely is a nod to the
• 7:33
  Warriors for sure. Much fun.
• 7:35
  Yeah. And, and and and the song, like
• 7:37
  the song's killer. And then the video just
• 7:39
  amplifies the power of the song for me.
• 7:41
  Thank. Thank you so much, man.
• 7:43
  It's amazing to hear a compliment that anybody likes
• 7:45
  what I do. I really appreciate that, man.
• 7:46
  Thank you very much. Now it's always great.
• 7:48
  It's like, wow, somebody's digging what we're doing.
• 7:50
  That's so cool, you know. And the video actually, funny
• 7:54
  enough, came to came to being because me and my drummer Eric
• 7:57
  were thinking about. We were like, oh, we got to come
• 7:59
  up with the video. So he had come up originally
• 8:02
  with let's just play on a train, just like New York City, let's
• 8:05
  just play on a train. All of his jamming on a train.
• 8:08
  And only like I, that's really cool.
• 8:09
  And then we both start thinking. And I said to him, I said, wait
• 8:12
  a minute, the train. I said, you know, it'd be cool.
• 8:15
  He's like what? I said, how about a Warriors
• 8:17
  themed video? And he's like, yeah.
• 8:19
  And then it just, it just went from there.
• 8:21
  And we wrote the video in the script that I actually, no, we
• 8:24
  originally had an idea for the video and then it changed once
• 8:27
  we got somebody who who was able to film it and make it happen.
• 8:31
  The director, Jerry Farley, once we got him on board, he was
• 8:34
  like, all right, I'm doing this with it and you guys are going
• 8:36
  to follow like, yeah, no problem.
• 8:37
  So it was great. That's awesome.
• 8:39
  Shout out to Jerry and anybody looking to work with Jerry,
• 8:42
  we'll find a link to his stuff here and add it to the link with
• 8:45
  your stuff in the description because he did a phenomenal job.
• 8:48
  And just the, again, capture the personality of the guys, capture
• 8:51
  the personality of the song, capture the personality of
• 8:53
  Brooklyn. Coney Island is iconic, you
• 8:55
  know, the wonder wheel and everything.
• 8:57
  And just the, the, the Spire was used in every, you know, all the
• 9:01
  type of photos and things like that.
• 9:05
  Yeah. I don't know if you were a big
• 9:06
  90s metal guy in New York City, but it was, that was like my
• 9:09
  time, late 80s, early 90s for metal and rock.
• 9:13
  And that was such a good time and such a good time to be in
• 9:16
  bands in the city and kind of be a local band because there was a
• 9:19
  lot of labeling activity in New York City and there was a lot of
• 9:22
  bands like you felt like I saw Life of Agony and Type O
• 9:25
  Negative and I was like, maybe I can do that.
• 9:27
  Look at those guys are from almost where I'm from, like the
• 9:30
  same neighborhoods almost, you know, like the same kind of
• 9:32
  dudes, same kind of people. So I was like, maybe I can do
• 9:35
  that. I don't know.
• 9:37
  No, those guys actually I, I, I've met Mina a few times.
• 9:42
  Mina Caputo, I met him a few times, met them a few times
• 9:44
  rather, and they were friends with somebody that I knew from
• 9:47
  the neighborhood, Rob and we actually bonded over family
• 9:51
  stuff and stuff like that. So I actually played Lemoore's a
• 9:54
  bunch of times back in the day with a band called the other
• 9:56
  side and we all sprouted from Lemoore.
• 9:58
  So that's how I actually know everybody from back in the day
• 10:02
  because like Type O Negative, we knew of them and we played
• 10:04
  different shows on different weekends.
• 10:06
  But like everybody didn't know each other back then.
• 10:08
  So it was just kind of like a big I I wasn't in their circles,
• 10:11
  but like we all knew each other from the area and the club.
• 10:14
  We all did different shows on different weekends.
• 10:16
  So we all knew of each other at the very least.
• 10:18
  Nice, I only got to go to Lemoore twice and never played
• 10:21
  there, but I played CBS and everywhere else, so that's cool.
• 10:24
  Good enough for me. I got, I got to go at least and
• 10:26
  see other bands play before they were gone.
• 10:28
  And then I really like after that.
• 10:30
  I got to do all the things. But yeah, yeah, it's and then so
• 10:34
  the next single, cuz you have it.
• 10:35
  So the album is coming out, by the way, 5 is coming out the end
• 10:38
  of the end of April. Record this now and it's shaping
• 10:43
  up to be, you know, just awesome.
• 10:45
  And I really. So the new single I got, I got
• 10:47
  to hear it early and see the video early.
• 10:49
  Thanks to the the management there letting trusting me and
• 10:51
  letting me, you know, get prepared for this interview with
• 10:53
  the material and. Thank you for watching.
• 10:56
  Yeah, of course. So the, so we'll talk about the
• 10:57
  song first. The songs, it's a little more
• 10:59
  sensitive. It's a little more sensitive,
• 11:01
  but I, I, I dig it. We also, you know, I mean, like
• 11:04
  our reputation here is that we do metal, right, but we also
• 11:07
  cover a lot of other things that are not metal.
• 11:09
  And I personally love a lot of singer-songwriter stuff.
• 11:13
  You know, I fancy myself as I wanted to do that for a long
• 11:16
  time and play some guitar badly and I could fart out a song.
• 11:19
  But like, I'm really into like, you know, I think it's a lot of
• 11:24
  bands can rock out, rock the fuck out.
• 11:26
  But like, I think like to be able to make like a very deep,
• 11:29
  meaningful song and not go hard the whole way is a skill that
• 11:33
  not everybody has. So I really like, I really like
• 11:35
  the song. Dean is the singer, right?
• 11:37
  Great voice. Yes, that is.
• 11:38
  Correct fantastic, which really touching lyrics.
• 11:41
  I don't know who's the if it's Dean or collectively the lyrics.
• 11:44
  I actually wrote the lyrics. Oh.
• 11:46
  Yeah, it's really good. It's really good.
• 11:47
  I appreciate that. Yeah.
• 11:48
  That's a very personal song, yeah.
• 11:50
  Yeah, I could tell. I it feels personal, like it
• 11:52
  feels like it, it means something, which is always
• 11:55
  better because if you can make something that if you're
• 11:57
  connecting to me, somebody else out there listening.
• 11:59
  Right, right. Thank you very much.
• 12:01
  I appreciate that and we do. We definitely hope that song in
• 12:04
  particular resonates and like clicks with people really do
• 12:07
  hope people can feel it and relate to it, you know, So I'm
• 12:10
  looking forward to it. Thank you for the for the kind
• 12:12
  words on the song. I appreciate it man.
• 12:14
  Well, thank you. I go from the heart, so
• 12:16
  whatever, you know, I don't gush about things I don't really care
• 12:19
  about and enjoy and I can do an I can do an interview and and
• 12:22
  not be and I also don't have to be a Dick.
• 12:25
  There's definitely a lot of things I don't like and even
• 12:28
  friends of mine, by the way, people all the time are like,
• 12:30
  you must like, like support every band your friends have.
• 12:33
  No, I don't, because sometimes they're not good enough, but
• 12:37
  sometimes I do. And then I got to see the video,
• 12:39
  which is really another cool 1. So let's talk a little bit about
• 12:43
  that video. Sure, what would you like to
• 12:45
  know by all means. Just in general, like obviously
• 12:48
  this people are going to see this interview following the
• 12:50
  video. We'll link the video also, so
• 12:51
  we'll be able to go watch it after.
• 12:54
  But but also like, yeah, like just tell us a little bit.
• 12:56
  Did you want the video to kind of tell the story of the song?
• 12:58
  Yes, Now it's the whole way it went down was we knew we had to
• 13:02
  write a video for the song. So me and my me and my drummer
• 13:05
  Eric, we got together and wrote the script for the song.
• 13:07
  So it's based on true events by all means.
• 13:10
  Like there's a lot of personal things that I put in the video,
• 13:13
  but it's definitely a, I wouldn't say night.
• 13:16
  It's basically a fictitious story kind of sort of, but it
• 13:19
  still tells the story at the same time, if that makes sense.
• 13:22
  Like that there would there may be different, like the events
• 13:25
  have changed and certain things that, but nevertheless it's
• 13:27
  still the same. It did that.
• 13:29
  The meaning is still there, like everything the video trying to
• 13:31
  convey. That's true.
• 13:33
  Just different events happened necessarily, but the conveyance
• 13:35
  is the same. John Lamacchia from Candiria
• 13:39
  directed it and Michael McAvoy from Candiria actually starred
• 13:42
  in it. He was the main character of it,
• 13:44
  and I've become good friends with these guys that they're
• 13:46
  absolutely fantastic with. It's because of John Lamacchia
• 13:50
  that we got everything done that we got done.
• 13:53
  So he became our manager about a year ago.
• 13:55
  And man, he's what a great dude, man.
• 13:58
  I can't say enough good things about him.
• 14:00
  And John reached out and we, me and Eric wrote this script and
• 14:04
  we told John we're like, this is what we want to do.
• 14:06
  And he's like, all right, He's like, it's a lot to take on, but
• 14:09
  I'll do what I can. So he actually made it all
• 14:12
  happen. And he got Sean from Washed Up
• 14:15
  Media as a cameraman. And Sean came in and Sean was
• 14:18
  like, I love the song, I love the concept.
• 14:21
  He goes, we could do this. So I was like, all right, so
• 14:23
  then we had to find an actor and that's how we found Michael.
• 14:25
  Cause John was like, maybe we can get Mike.
• 14:27
  I said, get Mike. I love Mike, get Mike to do it.
• 14:30
  So he's like, all right, cool. And then John found a woman
• 14:34
  named Jay that I didn't know John knew her and he got her to
• 14:37
  act in as the, the lady in the video.
• 14:40
  And then we just got the shooting and we were really
• 14:43
  lucky. The shoot itself only took three
• 14:46
  days in total to get done everything, which was really
• 14:50
  nice. I mean, it took work to make it
• 14:52
  all happen happened. But once the ball got rolling,
• 14:55
  and that's honestly, that's all because of Mary Thin, John's
• 14:59
  friend. Mary, she made everything happen
• 15:01
  in that regard because she knew, I mean, she had the, the, the
• 15:05
  shot set up, she had the scenes ready to go.
• 15:08
  She had the bedroom completely disheveled, so the right you go
• 15:12
  vibe would get across. She had the right to.
• 15:15
  She had everything together, man.
• 15:17
  She was awesome. Her and John made this all.
• 15:19
  I mean, just everybody came together.
• 15:21
  And it's funny, I've learned this whole video was just like,
• 15:25
  yeah, I wrote the song and I'm very proud of it And I I'll talk
• 15:27
  to you about lyrics every whatever you want to know.
• 15:29
  But without the team that made it actually happen, none of it
• 15:32
  would have came to fruition. And that was the lesson I
• 15:35
  learned in this because I'm a guitar player.
• 15:37
  So you always write the song like, oh, I wrote this song and
• 15:40
  however you you want to do it. And then you get to the to where
• 15:43
  we are at this point where there's so many people involved
• 15:46
  that it's not just you and your song.
• 15:48
  It's not just one person. It's the team that actually
• 15:52
  makes all of this come to life at the end of the day.
• 15:54
  And I'm just so proud to have worked at all of these people on
• 15:57
  this. And yeah, that's kind of how it
• 16:00
  came about. To answer your question in a
• 16:03
  long way. I I do answer in a long ways.
• 16:05
  I apologize, but there you go. That's.
• 16:09
  OK, people are trying. I've done thousands these
• 16:11
  videos, people are tired of hearing from me.
• 16:12
  So like, believe me, I talk enough on these podcasts and
• 16:15
  videos, but no, it does take a team.
• 16:17
  Sounds like a real family environment.
• 16:19
  John is fantastic. Everybody knows we're big fans
• 16:22
  of his. We've we've done a lot of stuff
• 16:23
  with John over the years. And I obviously was a humongous
• 16:26
  Kandaria fan, all eras of the band.
• 16:30
  And John is so gifted. Just, you know, record label
• 16:33
  artist, solo artist, member of other bands.
• 16:37
  So really terrific, dude. Yeah, man.
• 16:40
  So like, the album's coming out soon.
• 16:42
  What are, do you have like, some some shows lined up?
• 16:44
  Any other goals you want for this music to get out there?
• 16:46
  Absolutely. We do have a show.
• 16:49
  The only solid show we know of so far right now is Alien Ant
• 16:52
  Farm on June 9th at Saint at Saint Vidus.
• 16:55
  We open it up for them, which is going to be a really cool,
• 16:57
  really cool show, really cool night.
• 16:59
  And aside from that, we're still working on some shows to
• 17:04
  immediately promote the the the album coming out.
• 17:09
  We will be on the radio, which is cool too.
• 17:12
  Somebody that we know through John, a man named Munzie, very
• 17:15
  great guy, Skateboard media. He he's putting us on the radio
• 17:19
  apparently. So we're going to be a, I don't
• 17:21
  even know where yet, but apparently we're going to be on
• 17:24
  some radio waves that I'm really hoping to gain a lot of
• 17:27
  listeners from that. So that's next.
• 17:30
  And then like I said, we got the show and honestly, we'll look at
• 17:33
  a record again. We're that's why we're at the
• 17:35
  studio right now. Me and my drummer, we're getting
• 17:37
  ready to blend sounds on the amps and stuff and we're getting
• 17:39
  some stuff done. But as far as shows go, just the
• 17:43
  the June 9th show is the only one we have the 3rd and right
• 17:46
  now and we may do an in store record appearance or in store
• 17:49
  record store appearance the day of the the day of the release.
• 17:53
  We're not sure aware yet that's to be announced.
• 17:56
  Awesome. I know Muncie.
• 17:57
  Well, I'm going to give you my Muncie impression.
• 17:58
  It worked. The record, kid.
• 18:00
  That's Muncie, and he's a legend.
• 18:02

  probably like all over the world, they know that guy.
• 18:07
  Metal Hall of Fame. He's awesome.
• 18:08
  He's in the Metal Hall of Fame for all his work.
• 18:11
  So yeah, Muncie's great. Yeah, man, it's just really
• 18:13
  exciting. I'm very pumped for this band.
• 18:15
  I'm. I'm excited for people.
