Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about your new single Money
- 0:03Speaker 1: for the Honey, which I watched the video clip and
- 0:06Speaker 1: it really for me as a fan of like the
- 0:08Speaker 1: pesche Mode and those sort of eighties and the synths.
- 0:11Speaker 1: I just loved it. But tell us a bit more
- 0:14Speaker 1: from your perspective about the song.
- 0:17Speaker 2: The song, I mean, it was a pretty easy one
- 0:20Speaker 2: to be honest with you, me, like regarding the shaping
- 0:24Speaker 2: of the song, like the arrangements and everything else.
- 0:26Speaker 3: It came out really quick.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Yeah, the lyrics were kind of like, you know, I
- 0:31Speaker 2: just didn't know where I wanted to go. Although I
- 0:33Speaker 2: already said these in other interviews. It's just I like
- 0:36Speaker 2: to write lyrics that kind of gives you an open
- 0:40Speaker 2: space where you can be just like, you know, a
- 0:43Speaker 2: different interpretation. Like it's not one easy there there You're like, okay,
- 0:46Speaker 2: sure he's talking.
- 0:47Speaker 3: About this example.
- 0:49Speaker 2: You know, there's a line when I say love me
- 0:51Speaker 2: for the money, test me for the honey could be
- 0:54Speaker 2: pretty obvious. It is about the fact that you know,
- 0:58Speaker 2: you can look at it under the active of a relationship,
- 1:01Speaker 2: for example, and it's just like, you know, when one
- 1:05Speaker 2: of the two actually understands better than the other one,
- 1:08Speaker 2: what that's gonna be in the relationship. It's like, you know,
- 1:11Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun. I'm gonna enjoy the ride. I
- 1:13Speaker 2: know why you love me, so let's just enjoy. Let's say,
- 1:18Speaker 2: well we can live in in this perspective.
- 1:20Speaker 3: It's kind of like how to set things.
- 1:23Speaker 2: You can still find some kind of fun if you
- 1:26Speaker 2: want to, like yeah, you know, And it's been like
- 1:30Speaker 2: a really fun song to do. I I I love
- 1:32Speaker 2: to do the vocals on that, and it is really
- 1:35Speaker 2: the patch mode it gets Yeah, definitely, And when we
- 1:41Speaker 2: recorded it, what added a lot to the song was
- 1:44Speaker 2: the doubling that the drummer did on top of the song,
- 1:50Speaker 2: so percussion that gave us.
- 1:52Speaker 3: That gave me even more reasons of dancing around, which
- 1:56Speaker 3: I really love, you know. It was it's a it's
- 1:59Speaker 3: a really good song. Yeah, I'm glad to enjoy it.
- 2:02Speaker 3: It is.
- 2:02Speaker 1: It's absolutely fantastic and it made me nostalgic. But also
- 2:07Speaker 1: I like that you have your own spin on it.
- 2:09Speaker 1: It's not like a direct copy of old they're just
- 2:12Speaker 1: trying to copy the peche Mode no way. It's got
- 2:14Speaker 1: all different influences in it as well. It's wonderful.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Sorry, sorry, go ahead, you go.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Oh, it's just you know, I grew up listening to
- 2:26Speaker 2: that music. So for me, when I write a song,
- 2:32Speaker 2: like I said, like you said, it's not a copy,
- 2:35Speaker 2: but I still want to find something that is familiar
- 2:38Speaker 2: with me, you know, the sound familiar or something. Well,
- 2:40Speaker 2: every time I write a song, my question is will I.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Buy this album?
- 2:45Speaker 1: M that's it? No good?
- 2:48Speaker 3: That's where I met when I write the song.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Every time I arrive at the end, I'm always at
- 2:52Speaker 2: the same point, will I buy this Why?
- 2:54Speaker 3: Yeah? Does it connect with the idea of Nora addiction?
- 3:00Speaker 3: Is it real?
- 3:01Speaker 2: If it's authentic for this band, you know, and obviously
- 3:04Speaker 2: you're going.
- 3:04Speaker 3: To have the influences inside.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I mean again, we all grow up listening to certain music,
- 3:09Speaker 2: and I think there's no one song on the planet
- 3:11Speaker 2: where you can be just like. This reminds me of
- 3:13Speaker 2: unless we're talking about the theories, but you know it's
- 3:17Speaker 2: ye like so it's true what she said. But at
- 3:21Speaker 2: the same time, I think no, addiction got to a
- 3:24Speaker 2: point where we do have our own.
- 3:27Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, exactly exactly, and more addiction balances have
- 3:33Speaker 1: your guitars with dark waves, so naturally when you're writing.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Does a song usually begin with a guitar iff, an
- 3:40Speaker 1: electronic text, suow, or something.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Else entirely depends.
- 3:44Speaker 2: For example, Money for the Honey definitely started from a
- 3:47Speaker 2: bad Yes, that was the drive force that got me
- 3:53Speaker 2: through the whole song. I mean that really gave me
- 3:55Speaker 2: the idea for everything that they came after that. Sometimes
- 3:59Speaker 2: it's a reef like toxic tweens from our newip that
- 4:03Speaker 2: was from a guitariff.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it really depends.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Sometimes I get stuck on some beat or some synthesizer
- 4:11Speaker 2: and you're just like, you know, this is so good,
- 4:13Speaker 2: but where am I gonna go?
- 4:14Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 4:15Speaker 2: You know, it's it's not always easy, but sometimes it
- 4:18Speaker 2: really I don't have just one.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Formula that I music.
- 4:22Speaker 2: You know, it never starts from a melody, for example,
- 4:26Speaker 2: a vocal melody that doesn't really happen.
- 4:29Speaker 3: To me, to be honest.
- 4:31Speaker 2: It's usually like a beat through a guitar If that yeah.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Wow, So that's your main inspiration? Would you say, do
- 4:39Speaker 1: you get inspiration outside of music as well? I do.
- 4:45Speaker 2: There are like, for example, you know, sometimes you talk
- 4:48Speaker 2: with a friend or you know something that you're gonna watch.
- 4:53Speaker 3: I don't really watch news.
- 4:54Speaker 2: But sometimes you know through socials of course, get rich
- 4:58Speaker 2: and whatever happens and stops you and you're like, okay,
- 5:02Speaker 2: so I can get the idea.
- 5:05Speaker 3: I don't know the vibe. I get the I vibe
- 5:07Speaker 3: of that topic.
- 5:08Speaker 2: It was formed into a vibe and then I sit
- 5:11Speaker 2: down and write it did happen to me, Not for
- 5:13Speaker 2: the zipedio, but it did happen to me. So it's
- 5:16Speaker 2: not all about sitting down and trying to write some music.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Sometimes you really feel like I have to, Like you
- 5:23Speaker 2: have that thing in your mind, like ismam on my iPhone.
- 5:27Speaker 2: It's crazy. If you will listen to that, you will
- 5:29Speaker 2: love you. Yes, Like sometimes I drive and I have
- 5:33Speaker 2: like a reef and then I'm like.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I remember that. You know, I don't know
- 5:39Speaker 3: what you know. It's it's just it really depends.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's do you find sometimes even as you're
- 5:46Speaker 1: falling asleep or you wake up from sleep and you
- 5:48Speaker 1: get your phone out and you start talking.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I do that. That definitely happened. And one thing.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Like for example, for d ZP, we were run out
- 6:00Speaker 2: of time and I had to write lyrics for it.
- 6:03Speaker 3: It depends.
- 6:04Speaker 2: It goes from time to time. Sometimes I do write
- 6:06Speaker 2: to write lyrics. Sometimes I kind of to force myself,
- 6:10Speaker 2: you know, while the music is really natural lyrics, sometimes
- 6:13Speaker 2: it is different when I have to write lyrics. I
- 6:17Speaker 2: do have nights where automatically I wake up like a
- 6:19Speaker 2: three or four a m. And I'm like, you know,
- 6:23Speaker 2: I gotta do this, even though it's not on my mind,
- 6:25Speaker 2: it's just like it's like biology, like I have to
- 6:29Speaker 2: do it.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, true love it and Noir addictions songs fills
- 6:38Speaker 1: in America times as well. And you've actually had music
- 6:41Speaker 1: featured on American television, Is that right?
- 6:44Speaker 3: Yeah? I did.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Ah. As composing for visual media change the way you
- 6:49Speaker 1: think about dynamics, atmosphere and storytelling in your own music.
- 6:57Speaker 3: It kind of did.
- 6:57Speaker 2: I mean actually when I started like write music for
- 7:01Speaker 2: I did like movies or TV series or some commercial Yeah.
- 7:05Speaker 3: First of all, I always said.
- 7:07Speaker 2: From the beginning, I'm not good at all the genres.
- 7:11Speaker 2: So I'm like, I'm good more of dark electronic.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Industrial. That's what what I care the most.
- 7:18Speaker 2: It did change, like for no addiction, definitely, these experience
- 7:22Speaker 2: that I had in the past because I did write
- 7:23Speaker 2: a lot of instrumental tracks, so they're very cinematic, and
- 7:27Speaker 2: so I brought that into addiction, which I think is
- 7:30Speaker 2: really really cool. We do have songs like, for example,
- 7:35Speaker 2: how She's Got It, which was actually an instrumental track
- 7:38Speaker 2: to start with. I had like a mint long of
- 7:41Speaker 2: this song and it was very cinematic, very small. Yeah,
- 7:46Speaker 2: so it's some elements and then I work it out
- 7:50Speaker 2: in order for it to work for addiction.
- 7:52Speaker 3: But you know, definitely, it's I think that our music will.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Work really well also with some tvc yeah, yes, yeah.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Definitely, Like I love how Usually some of my favorite
- 8:09Speaker 1: movies have really great soundtracks and they've got all the
- 8:12Speaker 1: good artists. Depeche Mode, also Placebo. I don't know, do
- 8:15Speaker 1: you know who Placebo are? Oh? Yeah, yeah, yes, I
- 8:19Speaker 1: was gonna say, I hope you do because I love them.
- 8:21Speaker 1: But they did a soundtrack I think for there was
- 8:25Speaker 1: a nineties movie. But yeah, I think you're right if
- 8:28Speaker 1: your music paired with cinema goes really really well.
- 8:33Speaker 2: And you know what, I've been watching like some Netflix
- 8:37Speaker 2: seriously they are I don't know, like whoever is behind
- 8:42Speaker 2: that they're choosing that.
- 8:43Speaker 4: Great song, good songs, yes, and it's all the nineties,
- 8:47Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, nineties, because you know, sometimes people are
- 8:51Speaker 4: like people think I'm forty five years old, so I
- 8:55Speaker 4: could be considered a boomer.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Please, No, it's.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Just like you know what bothers me.
- 9:04Speaker 2: It's that there's some people out there that they keep saying,
- 9:08Speaker 2: you shually listening to like new music because all the
- 9:11Speaker 2: music that's coming out, there's always something interesting. I don't
- 9:14Speaker 2: think so. I think the nine and the nine is
- 9:17Speaker 2: especially we got like almost the.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Best out of it. I agree.
- 9:21Speaker 2: And you know, it's just like if it's so good
- 9:25Speaker 2: with certain images and you can hear like a certain vibe,
- 9:28Speaker 2: And I don't think that's just because I grew up
- 9:30Speaker 2: with that.
- 9:30Speaker 3: I think that under the point of.
- 9:32Speaker 2: View of a musician, not only the audience, but a
- 9:35Speaker 2: musician too, the technical the technical point of view, I
- 9:39Speaker 2: knew it.
- 9:40Speaker 3: I think that that era was just like the fucking best.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Yes, people used to be I don't follow them. Let's
- 9:49Speaker 2: say anymore without you and nothing came out, or you
- 9:54Speaker 2: know that there's so many songs and you know that
- 9:58Speaker 2: those were great, talking that you still listen to it today.
- 10:01Speaker 2: I want to see whoever is going to listen to
- 10:03Speaker 2: music that comes out to the thirty years from now.
- 10:05Speaker 3: I don't believe that.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I totally agree. I do like
- 10:09Speaker 1: some new music, but in my catalog all my favorites,
- 10:14Speaker 1: a good chunk of it is from the nineties the eighties,
- 10:16Speaker 1: and that's that's pretty much where I stand.
- 10:19Speaker 2: See, I'm not saying like you shouldn't listen to any
- 10:22Speaker 2: new music, but it's just funny when people are like, well,
- 10:24Speaker 2: you know, that's based on the nineties or whatever.
- 10:27Speaker 3: I'm like, that was a great talent and music was great,
- 10:30Speaker 3: and I would love.
- 10:30Speaker 2: To do it on the radio and hear something that
- 10:32Speaker 2: reminds me like, yeah.
- 10:35Speaker 1: It's just I just good. Yeah, yeah, yeah no. I
- 10:40Speaker 1: definitely agree as well. And the upcoming album is titled
- 10:44Speaker 1: Pretty Things Don't Last. Without giving too much away, what
- 10:47Speaker 1: connects all of the songs and what journey do you
- 10:49Speaker 1: hope listeners experience from beginning to end?
- 10:53Speaker 2: Okay, So DP came out on the sixteenth, Yes, d
- 10:59Speaker 2: it is. It is focused on love, obsessions, addiction which
- 11:06Speaker 2: pretty much the same, and a certain point of view
- 11:09Speaker 2: and desire to escape I guess a regular life In
- 11:15Speaker 2: most of the song that's mainly the point. Each song
- 11:18Speaker 2: is different, but if you listened to the entire It
- 11:21Speaker 2: is really well connected. I mean, you understand what I
- 11:24Speaker 2: just said. And we are really really happy about what
- 11:28Speaker 2: turned out because last year what happened it was what
- 11:32Speaker 2: Addiction came out on May twenty twenty five. Basically, we
- 11:36Speaker 2: as an singer, so I wrote the music for the
- 11:39Speaker 2: first album, which was for specifically for his voice, which.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Is very different.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Okay, okay, it didn't last long, so we found we
- 11:49Speaker 2: found each other in the band being just like okay,
- 11:52Speaker 2: so it didn't work out with him, so we were
- 11:53Speaker 2: just like, Okay, we're going to get another singer, or
- 11:56Speaker 2: they were just like, dude, you have to sing because
- 11:58Speaker 2: I was used to singing another band anyway, or the
- 12:00Speaker 2: projects with that exactly I want to do at the beginning,
- 12:04Speaker 2: so it was just like it just puts in a
- 12:06Speaker 2: spot in the band, which is so much responsibility.
- 12:09Speaker 3: I know, all that is.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Ye, it's kind of like, you know, I'm like, that's
- 12:13Speaker 2: gonna be more weight on my shoulders. So I wasn't sure,
- 12:16Speaker 2: but then you know, we were like, Okay, let's go
- 12:18Speaker 2: for it, and we have to go like so quick
- 12:21Speaker 2: that at the beginning, I'm like, is he gonna come out?
- 12:23Speaker 3: Something good.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Is it going to come out like we had to
- 12:26Speaker 2: speed up. I don't want people to think like, you know,
- 12:30Speaker 2: the songs are like whatever. So I'm really happy with
- 12:35Speaker 2: what it turned out. Because towards the fourth fifth songs
- 12:38Speaker 2: of the ep while I was working on the production,
- 12:41Speaker 2: I realized that actually everything made sense in the EPA
- 12:45Speaker 2: and that's pretty good that we had that change, that
- 12:48Speaker 2: we were.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Going towards another journey.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh it is. I don't know, it's pretty good.
- 12:54Speaker 2: I love to listen to it, which it doesn't happen often.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Sometimes by the time the new it comes out, I'm
- 13:01Speaker 2: so done because I listened to it.
- 13:03Speaker 1: So yeah, yes, that's it. And as you said, it
- 13:07Speaker 1: sounds like it was forged through a bit of anxiety
- 13:11Speaker 1: of not knowing how it would go. But as you've said,
- 13:14Speaker 1: you've created something that works.
- 13:17Speaker 2: There was anxiety because it's like you know, I usually
- 13:20Speaker 2: work on the songs and then I give them the song,
- 13:25Speaker 2: which is basically done, but the space for Nasty to
- 13:29Speaker 2: work on the synthesizers, on extra synthesizers, and Coberta to
- 13:33Speaker 2: work on the drums.
- 13:35Speaker 3: So you know, the majority is of me. And so
- 13:39Speaker 3: when I talk to them.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm kind of afraid to send them songs because
- 13:42Speaker 2: I'm like, I really hope they're gonna tell me they
- 13:44Speaker 2: like it, because I fucking love this song.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Maybe we're not going to do this song, you know.
- 13:51Speaker 3: So there was like a.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Little bit of anxiety because you're like, I have to write,
- 13:54Speaker 2: I have to walk that everyone likes it.
- 13:56Speaker 3: I have to walk that it's gonna fit the previous song.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Yeah, it is stressful, you know, unless you at another position,
- 14:03Speaker 2: if you are a very known band, a very well
- 14:06Speaker 2: known band, then you can be just like I'm gonna
- 14:08Speaker 2: take my time, who cares, I'll do whatever I want
- 14:11Speaker 2: and everyone love it.
- 14:12Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
- 14:14Speaker 2: It's it's different where you are in a position like
- 14:16Speaker 2: from Addiction right now, because we have to really bust
- 14:19Speaker 2: ass for everything we have going on. I mean, the
- 14:24Speaker 2: lay is given support, but at the same time you
- 14:27Speaker 2: do work like really hard on it. Yeah, so you
- 14:31Speaker 2: don't really have sometimes too much time to focus on
- 14:35Speaker 2: the artistic point of view of the band.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just j Yeah it sounds like a struggle.
- 14:44Speaker 1: But so have you guys played your songs, these songs live?
- 14:48Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a response. We did like three shows
- 14:54Speaker 2: in uh it was in May. We did two shows
- 14:56Speaker 2: in Prague and one in Milan.
- 14:58Speaker 3: Response was great.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Obvious people except for the first two singles, didn't know
- 15:03Speaker 2: the piece or it was something new, you know.
- 15:05Speaker 3: For all of that, we.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Were just like really pumped because we've been playing this
- 15:11Speaker 2: song for a while in our rehearsal room.
- 15:13Speaker 3: And the action was great. I mean, I love seeing people.
- 15:16Speaker 2: They were all dancing around, like really, the good thing
- 15:20Speaker 2: about More Addiction is we do want you to have
- 15:24Speaker 2: fun first of all. I mean I love dancing and
- 15:27Speaker 2: just moving around the expressing, so I love to see
- 15:30Speaker 2: people reacting the same way. But you know, there's a
- 15:35Speaker 2: deeper meaning behind the band that is not just I'm
- 15:38Speaker 2: going to see more Addiction.
- 15:40Speaker 3: I'm going to have fun because I'm just gonna dance
- 15:42Speaker 3: all night.
- 15:44Speaker 2: And I saw that kind of look in people's face
- 15:47Speaker 2: in front of us, and that's what I really enjoyed.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I saw people paying attention when we were playing. When
- 15:52Speaker 2: there was a different kind of song. You didn't see
- 15:54Speaker 2: people be just like okay, whatever, you know, I'm just
- 15:56Speaker 2: gonna grab a drink there. I think they got the
- 16:01Speaker 2: point of the band. So, I mean, it was just
- 16:03Speaker 2: three shows to start with but the reacting was really
- 16:06Speaker 2: good and.
- 16:07Speaker 1: So it was amazing. So people really connected with the songs.
- 16:11Speaker 4: That's that's wonderful, I think.
- 16:14Speaker 1: So.
- 16:14Speaker 2: I mean we've talked to people at the end of
- 16:16Speaker 2: the show. They were happy. But for what I could
- 16:18Speaker 2: see see the connected it was really good.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh that's absolutely fantastic to hear. And also soul
- 16:26Speaker 1: Punks seems to have a big emphasis on visual storytelling
- 16:29Speaker 1: alongside the music. How important is the visual identity of
- 16:32Speaker 1: noir addiction and what role does it play in bringing
- 16:35Speaker 1: your songs to life?
- 16:39Speaker 3: You mean, Luke Wise, like from our side, that's what
- 16:41Speaker 3: you meant.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Yeah, the soul punk's aspect. I guess the impact they've
- 16:46Speaker 1: had is that your record, that's the record label.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Is yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the record.
- 16:52Speaker 2: So you mean the impact they had on us, right,
- 16:55Speaker 2: like how they help out, that's that's what you mean?
- 16:57Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, had they had a big influence on you guys?
- 17:01Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I wasn't sure. I understand that.
- 17:03Speaker 1: It's a bit of a silly question.
- 17:05Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's not. It was really good.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Actually, Constantine is the head of the label. Uh, he
- 17:14Speaker 2: is really into the band and he's really it was
- 17:17Speaker 2: really willing to help the band. He did, and he's
- 17:19Speaker 2: actually doing it. There's gonna be actually vinyls that are
- 17:24Speaker 2: gonna come out for Disippe took care of It's gonna
- 17:28Speaker 2: be limited edition too, which is really cool. And he
- 17:33Speaker 2: told us that we could do whatever we want to do,
- 17:35Speaker 2: which is something you never listened from a label.
- 17:37Speaker 3: I think in the experience, you know, there's always like
- 17:40Speaker 3: you can't do this, you can't.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Can yeah, yeah, you know, I mean we were reasonable,
- 17:45Speaker 2: but it was like, Okay, what would you like to do,
- 17:48Speaker 2: Just let me know, and we try to make it
- 17:50Speaker 2: happen and we did. It did give us like a
- 17:54Speaker 2: lot of sport for the release, the promotion behind it.
- 17:58Speaker 2: We shot, We did a live beet recording in Berlin
- 18:04Speaker 2: for four of our songs from the EP.
- 18:06Speaker 3: He took care of that. You organized everything.
- 18:08Speaker 2: So it's been great, like working with them, minded they
- 18:12Speaker 2: are an independent label.
- 18:14Speaker 3: Yeah, in spite.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Of that, the support from the label is quite amazing.
- 18:22Speaker 2: So that was, you know, that was really really good
- 18:25Speaker 2: and they're super nice. So you know, nothing really that
- 18:28Speaker 2: we can say about that. There are like cats really
- 18:30Speaker 2: lots of surprising coming out, but I don't want to
- 18:32Speaker 2: say everything otherwise the.
- 18:33Speaker 3: Kid me yes, yes, part from the vinyls.
- 18:38Speaker 2: But you know, I to come out this week, so
- 18:40Speaker 2: I don't know when this interview will be out.
- 18:42Speaker 1: But yes, well yeah they might be out. But that's
- 18:46Speaker 1: so exciting. That's awesome. And as you said, from record labels,
- 18:50Speaker 1: especially independent ones, you're getting a lot, it seems a
- 18:54Speaker 1: lot of support.
- 18:54Speaker 3: So you're getting a lot of support. Do you mind
- 18:57Speaker 3: if I smoke?
- 18:58Speaker 1: No, No, I don't care, go for a place. Sorry?
- 19:04Speaker 1: Where was I am? Industrial and alternative rock have both
- 19:09Speaker 1: evolved dramatically over the years. Where do you think nour
- 19:12Speaker 1: Addiction fits within today's scene? And where do you see
- 19:15Speaker 1: the genre heading.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Today's scene?
- 19:20Speaker 2: Today's I mean, here's the thing, like labeling a band
- 19:23Speaker 2: is always like really hard and I don't even think
- 19:25Speaker 2: it's correct. Yeah, no, it's it's kind of like I
- 19:29Speaker 2: think we do have like industrial influences, Yeah, you wear
- 19:33Speaker 2: those like the first like nineties industrial influences, lots of alternative,
- 19:38Speaker 2: but also many of our songs they do have that
- 19:43Speaker 2: pop touch.
- 19:44Speaker 3: I would say, so I.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Can see us being like, I don't know, I would know.
- 19:54Speaker 2: I'll to answer to this where maybe where we're moving
- 19:57Speaker 2: like where we're going now, we're going in a direction
- 19:59Speaker 2: that is even more.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Pop interesting with a new song. But it's not the
- 20:06Speaker 3: stupid no, I don't know, you know, it's just got
- 20:10Speaker 3: it's really hooky, like we got, you know, like this.
- 20:13Speaker 3: I just wrote like four new songs for.
- 20:15Speaker 2: You know, the future, and they have like these pop
- 20:19Speaker 2: elements that we love always mixed with like rock guitars
- 20:22Speaker 2: and these electronic elements going on. It's just hard for
- 20:27Speaker 2: me to answer to that question because I sucker labeling bands,
- 20:30Speaker 2: and even we like to move between fashion and music. Yeah,
- 20:39Speaker 2: just goes along, you know.
- 20:41Speaker 3: And I don't know, I.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Think, you know, addiction is pretty fresh, but brings with
- 20:48Speaker 2: with with the band like lots of those nineties influences,
- 20:51Speaker 2: which I don't see many bands like that around.
- 20:54Speaker 3: You know. That's just my point of view.
- 20:56Speaker 2: I don't want to sound cocky, but it's just like
- 20:58Speaker 2: I just don't see the ands like that, and it's
- 21:01Speaker 2: hardful to.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Say where we fit or where we could be.
- 21:06Speaker 1: To honest with you, yes it is. I don't think
- 21:09Speaker 1: there's one label that fits you guys. And I feel
- 21:12Speaker 1: like you move between genres and you know, you take
- 21:16Speaker 1: some from every sort of genre in a way.
- 21:20Speaker 2: We do we you know, and mix it up sometimes
- 21:23Speaker 2: in certain countries because for example, we got promoters writing cats.
- 21:27Speaker 2: We just like, hey, we really like the band, but
- 21:29Speaker 2: before the EP came out, they were just like, I
- 21:32Speaker 2: listened to this song and then the second single, ye,
- 21:35Speaker 2: where are you more? It's more towards the first or
- 21:38Speaker 2: the second one. And we're like, it's fucking hard to
- 21:41Speaker 2: answer to that because just like we don't have that
- 21:44Speaker 2: Like if you have to see Manson, for example, you
- 21:47Speaker 2: have that kind of crowd. They always stay there. Yeah,
- 21:51Speaker 2: you go to see Rob Zombie, you have that kind
- 21:53Speaker 2: of crowd with us. It's kind of like you might
- 21:57Speaker 2: have people like the past mode you have people like
- 21:59Speaker 2: nineteen Senates, might have people like Lea.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Yes, yes, so true.
- 22:05Speaker 3: It's hard to find at least, I don't know what
- 22:07Speaker 3: to answer to that.
- 22:08Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yes, no, no, no, that is a good
- 22:10Speaker 1: answer in itself. I'm sorry, my baby is thinking a
- 22:14Speaker 1: lot of noise. And finally, if someone had never heard
- 22:19Speaker 1: more addiction before and money for the Honey was their introduction,
- 22:23Speaker 1: what do you hope is the first thing they understand
- 22:26Speaker 1: about who you are as a band?
- 22:30Speaker 2: A serious band that is really focus, that have a vision,
- 22:36Speaker 2: an idea, and I don't know. I just told the
- 22:40Speaker 2: people either for the vibe, the sound, the lyrics or whatever,
- 22:44Speaker 2: they find themselves running with the song like I used
- 22:49Speaker 2: to do when I used to listen to certain.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Bands, which I still does.
- 22:53Speaker 2: That makes sense absolutely, It's it's like, you know, I
- 22:57Speaker 2: still feel like that with certain bands, for example nine
- 23:00Speaker 2: Inch and eighths, I still feel like when I was fifteen.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Yes, it's like you know, the drive.
- 23:06Speaker 2: I just feel like I'm drawn to them, like in
- 23:09Speaker 2: a way where i feel really connected with the song.
- 23:11Speaker 2: And sometimes again it's the lyrics, sometimes it's the music,
- 23:14Speaker 2: but you just feel part of the bubble.
- 23:17Speaker 3: The world, which I don't know.
- 23:20Speaker 2: It's kind of a comfort zone that everyone seems to
- 23:22Speaker 2: be like against. I fucking love to have a comfort
- 23:25Speaker 2: zone because I think that sometimes in life, life is
- 23:27Speaker 2: already really complicated, and it's sometimes ten minutes of piece
- 23:31Speaker 2: or kind of like you know, you feel that you
- 23:35Speaker 2: belong somewhere, you know, if it's good. So that would
- 23:40Speaker 2: be like my hope for the people who are going
- 23:43Speaker 2: to be introduced to you our addiction in this case
- 23:47Speaker 2: Money Foltian, it would be a really good song too,
- 23:50Speaker 2: and it.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Has already exploded on YouTube. You guys have like forty
- 23:54Speaker 1: seven thousand views on that one song.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Actually that it worked out really well.
- 24:00Speaker 2: But the song that I think even right now represents
- 24:04Speaker 2: us the best that was Service and Crime.
- 24:07Speaker 3: I'm the first single that was just like.
- 24:09Speaker 2: We we saw the reaction from people right away that
- 24:13Speaker 2: it was just like wow, you know that was the
- 24:15Speaker 2: first thing.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Both go, they both go and send the reaction.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think the money for the onie is
- 24:24Speaker 2: even more appealing to a lot of people, a.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Lot, yeah, broader audience. I agree. Yeah, Oh that's crazy. Look,
- 24:31Speaker 1: I wish we had more time, and it's been fantastic
- 24:34Speaker 1: speaking with you. I want to keep up with you
- 24:36Speaker 1: guys because your music is the type of music that
- 24:39Speaker 1: I've always loved, like those bands Nine Inch Nails, Placebo,
- 24:42Speaker 1: depeche Mode since I was young. So yes, I would
- 24:48Speaker 1: love to absolutely see hear more from you and see
- 24:51Speaker 1: where you guys go. And I hope you can make
- 24:53Speaker 1: it over here sometimes.
- 24:55Speaker 2: I really hope. So, I mean, we would love to
- 24:57Speaker 2: do Australia. It's just you know, the lotistics, Like I said,
- 24:59Speaker 2: so all three.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Time, absolutely Yeah, wonderful. Thank you so much again for
- 25:04Speaker 1: your time, Thank you for having me
