  Freez this strip from the Last Matter and we just released our new single Freestyler
• 0:33
  does It cover nineteen ninety nine Funk MC classic and it features our figure from
• 0:40
  the Weight of Science from Monica. Thanks for joining us today, Thanks for
• 0:46
  having me my pleasure. So, as you say, the Last Matter have
• 0:50
  recently released a wicked cover of Boom Funk Hit Freestyles. So that's the only
• 0:55
  reception been for it. Yeah, we were so nervous about this one,
• 1:00
  but so far, so good. It's one of those songs that's a little
• 1:03
  bit more obscure, but kind of everyone knows that once they hear it,
• 1:07
  and so it's been like a good reminder I think for people that you know,
• 1:12
  grew up in the nineties, were a kid in the nineties like we
• 1:15
  were, and they were like, oh yeah, I remember this song,
• 1:18
  and maybe it's even introduced it to some new people as well. So I
• 1:23
  think it's I think it's going, well, what that particular song of that
• 1:27
  that whole era, you know, like you had your breakdown Selectric were Blue,
• 1:32
  and you had like a lot of songs from that era that you probably
• 1:34
  could have chosen. So why I said on that one particular, I have
• 1:38
  no idea. But you know, we're one of those bands where we've all
• 1:44
  got such a colectic music taste and it's really really difficult for us to agree
• 1:48
  on a cover. And I think it was Ben, our drummer, who
• 1:52
  originally came up with the idea, and we thought, you know, why
• 1:56
  don't we just play, you know, a snippet of a cover just to
• 1:59
  break up the set a little bit. We used to play a Lincoln Park
• 2:02
  cover of Faint, so that was our sort of designated cover. But we
• 2:06
  had this idea to kind of do a verse and a chorus of another song
• 2:09
  into an original song and kind of have it just as a little bit of
• 2:13
  a feature. And so Lynn was on an absolute mission to track down the
• 2:17
  samples for the original you know version, Bomb Funk MC version, and we
• 2:23
  could not find them anywhere, and he eventually came from us someone that he
• 2:29
  found i think on YouTube from somewhere in Europe, and you know, reached
• 2:34
  out on Instagram and kept following up and eventually he was generous enough to give
• 2:38
  us the samples. But so we started playing that live and we started playing
• 2:44
  it into our song like a Ghost, which was Yeah, it worked pretty
• 2:47
  well. The thing a sample, and actually, I'm pretty sure the original
• 2:53
  version is it just temp quite a lot about the song. It must not
• 2:59
  have been recorded a click, and yeah, that was just one of those
• 3:02
  fun facts when you start pulling a song apart. It's like the tempo changes
• 3:07
  by two or three bpm in the middle of the chorus and then goes back
• 3:12
  down and goes up again. So playing it live was a bit of a
• 3:15
  challenge, and eventually, you know, when we went to record, we
• 3:19
  thought, why don't we record a full version and at least we'll have all
• 3:23
  of the samples recreated, you know, sounding like the last matter, and
• 3:28
  also a consistent bpm for when we play it live in the future. So
• 3:32
  that's kind of the journey of that track. Also features Jay Bigger from the
• 3:38
  Weight of Silence with yourself on vocals. So how did that collaboration come about.
• 3:43
  Yeah, so we wanted a guest vocalist. I guess the idea of
• 3:46
  Freestyle in the first place was just to do something a bit fun. You
• 3:50
  know, a lot of our songs have more of a serious note and so,
• 3:53
  you know, aside from the song itself, what's more fun than having
• 3:57
  a guest vocalist, which we've never we've never collaborated with anyone before. And
• 4:01
  honestly, when he I think I was scrolling Instagram and one of his videos
• 4:05
  popped up and I knew Jay from back in the Sydney scene, and as
• 4:11
  soon as I came across him on the feed, I was like, Oh
• 4:14
  my god, this you know, this has to be the person that you
• 4:17
  know who's like half in the middle world, half in the rat world.
• 4:20
  It just made a lot of sense. So I sent him the demo that
• 4:25
  we had. He loved it and went off and recorded it a few weeks
• 4:28
  later, and we've just announced a show as well with the Weight of Silence.
• 4:32
  So I'm really really excited to be able to hopefully play that live.
• 4:39
  I sort of touched on this a little bit before, but you didn't just
• 4:42
  put your own spin on freestyle, like you completely rework it from the ground
• 4:46
  up. So how involved was that process and like what is it? What
• 4:48
  does it actually involve? Yeah, so we pulled apart the original song and
• 4:54
  we had we looked at every single layer from the original track and there's that
• 4:59
  iconic synth sort of sample at the beginning that sounds a bit like an eagle.
• 5:02
  I think it sounds like an eagle anyway, and there's also you know,
• 5:08
  James Brown like sample there somewhere, a whole bunch of others, and
• 5:15
  the already nine percent of the samples we actually kind of recreated and you know,
• 5:19
  put some modern sounds and gave our own take to it. But we
• 5:23
  did keep that Eagle sample and we kept the James Brown sample. I'm pretty
• 5:28
  sure that's the only two that we kept from the original. But yeah,
• 5:30
  it was. It was pretty cool because I was actually quite involved in the
• 5:36
  arrangement of this one. In particular. I just happened to be sort of
• 5:41
  the one available to work on it in the studio when we had time to
• 5:45
  book the recording, and it was very, very yeah, interesting to try
• 5:51
  and take you know what was it originally almost a five minute song with very
• 5:56
  few parts to it, just repeats, and then transform it into something a
• 6:00
  little bit fresher, a little bit more modern, so now we basically colder
• 6:04
  in half. I really enjoyed the process of rearranging the track and trying to
• 6:10
  convert it into something a bit more traditional. For twenty twenty three, Bristyle
• 6:17
  of follows on from the single Comedy Tragedy, which released earlier this year.
• 6:21
  So are those songs part of a bigger album or rep picture or they just
• 6:26
  stand lane. They're actually standalone. Although the way that we released Freestyler on
• 6:30
  Spotify was as part of a three track mixtape with Freestyler, Comedy, Tragedy,
• 6:35
  and a single we released a year ago, Sugar, So we kind
• 6:40
  of grouped the three of them together on Spotify just you know, to kind
• 6:44
  of put a full stop on that chapter. But we do have new music
• 6:46
  coming. We've just recorded a full EP, or we've just written a full
• 6:50
  EP, so the first track from that EP is actually due to come out
• 6:57
  in November, not far. No Free Styler indicative of your future musical direction,
• 7:08
  I guess, or was it just like having a little bit of fun.
• 7:12
  Well, the news stuff is very electronic, and I think that one
• 7:16
  thing about Freestyling is there's a lot of electronic elements to it. Yeah,
• 7:20
  you've got the screens, you've got like the distorted guitars, but it really
• 7:24
  is a song that allows the vocals and the samples to find and couple of
• 7:30
  the tracks of EP, I can'd say too, but we've definitely leaned more
• 7:35
  towards run the songs more around electronic adds and around vocals as opposed to starting
• 7:42
  with guitars, which is we've traditionally done. But it's funny. I was
• 7:46
  just scrolling TikTok earlier today and I posted a video of Freestyler of my personal
• 7:49
  TikTok, and there's a whole bunch of comments from like guys being like,
• 7:55
  this isn't metal, this is pop. I'm just like, all your hearing
• 8:01
  is a female vocalist and electronic elements, and obviously you know it sounds like
• 8:07
  pop to them, so I'm interested to see how people interpret this new material.
• 8:11
  It's definitely like some of the heaviest vocals that I've done, though,
• 8:15
  but as I said, it does lean on a lot of those electronic elements
• 8:18
  and it is very vocal centric. I'll put it this way. I wasn't
• 8:24
  a big fan of the original Freestyler, but your version was pretty good.
• 8:26
  So those guys who have to comment online they can stick it up their asks
• 8:30
  because you've done all right, thank you. That's interesting. I'm glad to
• 8:35
  hear that you haven't converted me, but I don't mind it. In the
• 8:43
  scheme of things. The last mat I haven't been around all that long,
• 8:46
  with the world being introduced to the band via your twenty twenty one single Hindsight.
• 8:50
  So how was to say the band's sort of grown and changed musically from
• 8:54
  that early point through to the stuff you're right now. Yeah, Well,
• 8:58
  we first ration of the band actually in eighteen. We've removed a lot of
• 9:05
  our older music because it just didn't feel aligned to the direction that we're going
• 9:09
  in. But and also, you know, with the lockdowns and the pandemic
• 9:13
  and everything, it really was a difficult time because we couldn't really move forward
• 9:16
  in our music career. So even though the band's been around since twenty eighteen,
• 9:20
  like Active, it's definitely been a lot less. So it feels like
• 9:24
  a lot less than that. But I did listen the other day, you
• 9:28
  know, sometimes I go back through older songs or like released and unreleased material,
• 9:33
  especially gearing up for a release, like writing these new batch of songs
• 9:39
  that we've just done, and I was listening to, Yeah, our first
• 9:43
  EP that that's now removed from streaming and everything, and it's definitely very traditional
• 9:50
  sort of metalcore in its direction, the songwriting. You know, I still
• 9:56
  like the songs, and you know, even the we don't really have many
• 10:01
  of those songs in our set list anymore. I'm definitely still proud of the
• 10:05
  worst. But comparing that to where now, our sound is a lot more
• 10:09
  modern, It's a lot more electronic first, and it just, I mean
• 10:15
  definitely feel more mature. I know that every time you write something, I
• 10:20
  feel like musicians think that it's the best thing that they've ever done. Always
• 10:24
  want like you want that though, you know you want to improve with every
• 10:28
  release, but sometimes it can be scary because if you you know, for
• 10:33
  example, the last like few songs that we've put out, I remember thinking
• 10:37
  at the time, oh god, I'll never be able to top this,
• 10:39
  and then you write something else and you're like wow, Like then you fall
• 10:41
  in love with the new stuff. So I definitely, I definitely think it's
• 10:46
  been a cool journey to see how far we've all come a song is,
• 10:52
  and even just you know, me as a vocalist as well, because I
• 10:56
  started only learning to scream when I started this, and so it's cool to
• 11:01
  have a record of all that growth. I'd say you've drawn a lot of
• 11:09
  influences with your music, but essentially you've got a unique blending of new metal,
• 11:13
  metical and electronics that just works somehow. But how do you get the
• 11:18
  balance in the writing and the recording process right? Like, how do you
• 11:20
  know when you've gone too far with one or not far enough with another.
• 11:26
  I think our mission with working with our current producer Chris Larlik is how fucked
• 11:33
  up can we make it? We never like, we never think we've gone
• 11:37
  too far because I feel like, you know, staying in the comfort zone,
• 11:41
  you're just going to get the thing you've always gotten. So I feel
• 11:43
  like, I mean, speaking for myself as a vocalist, I feel like
• 11:48
  every time I get into the studio, I'm trying to produce a different tone
• 11:52
  with my voice or I'm trying a different type of scream, and I feel
• 11:58
  like I never know what's coming because we're always trying to do something different to
• 12:01
  what we did in the last, you know, the last recordings. So
• 12:05
  I don't know if we have a limit of what's gone too far. But
• 12:11
  I don't know, we're not too well, Like, we're definitely always going
• 12:16
  to be a heavy band, and we're always going to have those like metal
• 12:20
  elements with very melodic vocals and stuff that's really really cheap but outside of privative
• 12:28
  I think from the side of this band never really had ourselves to a certain
• 12:33
  genre. I mean, we've done songs are very very new metal, We've
• 12:37
  written trap parts in our songs, and I think what's cool about the digital
• 12:43
  age is people have so many different influences in terms of genres and artists that
• 12:50
  it's sort of we're becoming very like genre fluid and there's almost this like globalization
• 12:56
  of music genres or like genrealization, if that's that could be a word perhaps,
• 13:01
  So Yeah, I don't know. I'm interested in exploring news sounds and
• 13:07
  we just throw stuff at the wall and if it sounds good, it sounds
• 13:09
  good. That's generally the way, isn't it. Well, as long as
• 13:13
  we think it sounds good. I guess. You've also just announced a couple
• 13:18
  of headlining shows in November as well. Can you tell us a bit more
• 13:20
  about them? Yes, I'm so so excited. We've actually never headlined in
• 13:26
  city before, and yeah, and this will be the second ever headline show
• 13:31
  in Melbourne and the other the first headline show that we've played was actually over
• 13:35
  a year ago now and it was a bit of a last minute thing.
• 13:37
  So these feel like very pivotal, pivotal shows for us, and it's cool
• 13:45
  because it's the first time that we've been able to choose the lineup for each
• 13:48
  show. Fully, it's the first time that we have, you know,
• 13:52
  some extra time as well that we can really craft sets that you know,
• 13:58
  put our best foot forward. And we're going to be playing some brand new
• 14:01
  songs live that will be unreleased at the time. We'll be playing our upcoming
• 14:07
  single that's going to come out in November, and we've got some other cool
• 14:11
  surprises that we're going to be pulling out. So I'm really really excited about
• 14:15
  that. So I probably hasn't a guess and said the new single is going
• 14:18
  to be called burn It Down? Would both be right? Yeah? Yeah,
• 14:22
  We'll given that away, haven't you. I know, I know it's
• 14:24
  like we have to start promoting the tour, but these, you know,
• 14:28
  the shows are going to be released shows for this new single, So I
• 14:31
  don't know, we just had to reveal it, I guess. Won Thanks
• 14:37
  very much for good time, but I reckon people find out more information about
• 14:39
  those shows and get them sells tickets. Awesome, thanks Chris Well. It
• 14:43
  just had to the Lastmarta dot band and able to see the links tickets for
• 14:50
  both ourline shows in Melbourne and Sydney. We've got playing on the tenth November,
• 14:56
  the eighteenth November, and I can't wait to see everyone there. This
• 15:01
  strip from The Last Matter and we just released our using freestyler does a cover
• 15:07
  nineteen ninety nine Funk MC classic and it features our figure from the Weight of
• 15:13
  Science from Monica. Thanks for joining us today, Thanks for having me my
• 15:20
  pleasure. So as you say, The Last Matter have recently released a wicked
• 15:24
  cover of Boom Funk Freestyles. So that's the only reception been for it.
• 15:31
  Yeah, we were so nervous about this one, but so far, so
• 15:35
  good. It's one of those songs that's a little bit more obscure, but
• 15:39
  kind of everyone knows that once they hear it, and so it's been like
• 15:43
  a good reminder I think for people that you know, grew up in the
• 15:46
  nineties, were a kid in the nineties like we were, and they were
• 15:50
  like, oh, yeah, I remember this song, and maybe it's even
• 15:52
  introduced it to some new people as well. So I think it's I think
• 15:58
  it's going well. So why that particular song of that that whole era you
• 16:03
  know, like you had your breakdown Selectric Boogaloo, and you had like a
• 16:06
  lot of songs from that era that you probably could have chosen. So why
• 16:08
  I said, on that one particular, I have no idea. You know,
• 16:15
  we're one of those bands where we've all got such a colectic music taste
• 16:18
  and it's really really difficult for us to agree on a cover. And I
• 16:23
  think it was Vin, our drummer, who originally came up with the idea,
• 16:26
  and we thought, you know, why don't we just play, you
• 16:30
  know, a snippet of a cover just to break up the set a little
• 16:33
  bit. We used to play a Lincoln Park cover of Faint, so that
• 16:37

• 17:14
  But so we started playing that live and we started playing it into our
• 17:18

• 17:22
  thing sample and actually, I'm pretty sure the original lesion is it just temp

  recorded a full EP, or we've just written a full EP, so the
• 21:27
  first track from that EP is actually due to come out in November. Not
• 21:32
  far. No, a Freestyler indicative of your future musical direction, I guess,

• 22:38
  and obviously you know it sounds like pop to them. So I'm interested
• 22:44
  to see how people interpret this new material. It's definitely like some of the
• 22:47
  heaviest vocals that I've done, though, but as I said, it does
• 22:49
  lean on a lot of those electronic elements and it is very vocal centric.
• 22:56
  I'll put it this way. I wasn't a big fan of the original Freestyler,
• 22:59
  but your version was pretty good. So those guys who haven't comment online,
• 23:03
  they can stick it up their ass because you've done all right, thank
• 23:06
  you. That's interesting. I'm glad to hear that you haven't converted me,
• 23:11
  but I don't mind it. In the scheme of things. The last mat
• 23:18
  I haven't been around all that long, with the world being introduced to the
• 23:21
  band via your twenty twenty one single Hindsight. So I was to say the
• 23:25
  bands sort of grown and changed musically from that early point through to the stuff
• 23:30
  you're right now. Yeah, well, we're the first creation of the band.
• 23:34
  Actually in eighteen. We've removed a lot of our older music because it
• 23:40
  just didn't feel aligned to the direction that we're going in. But and also,
• 23:45
  you know, with the lockdowns and the pandemic and everything, it really
• 23:48
  was a difficult time because we couldn't really move forward in our music career.
• 23:52
  So even though the band's been around since twenty eighteen, like Active, it's
• 23:56
  definitely been a lot less. So it feels like a lot less than that.
• 24:00
  But I did listen the other day, you know, sometimes I go
• 24:03
  back through older songs or like released and unreleased material, especially gearing up for
• 24:08
  a release, like writing these new batch of songs that we've just done,
• 24:12
  and I was listening to yeah, our first EP that that's now removed from
• 24:19
  streaming and everything, and it's definitely very traditional sort of metalcore in its direction.
• 24:26
  The songwriting. You know, I still like the songs, and you
• 24:33
  know, even though we don't really have many of those songs in our set
• 24:36
  list anymore, I'm definitely still proud of the worst. But comparing that to
• 24:41
  where now I our sound is a lot more modern. It's a lot more
• 24:45
  electronic first, and it just, I mean definitely feel more mature. I
• 24:49
  know that every time you write something, I feel like musicians think that it's
• 24:56
  the best thing that they've ever done. Want like you want that though,
• 25:00
  you know, you want to improve with every release, But sometimes it can
• 25:04
  be scary because if you you know, for example, the last like few
• 25:08
  songs that we've put out, and I remember thinking at the time, oh
• 25:11
  god, I'll never be able to top this, and then you write something
• 25:14
  else and you're like wow, like then you fall in love with the new
• 25:17
  stuff. So I definitely, I definitely think it's been a cool journey to
• 25:23
  see how far we've all come a song is, and even just you know,
• 25:26
  me as a vocalist as well, because I started only learning to scream
• 25:32
  when I started this band, So it's cool to have a record of all
• 25:37
  that growth. I'd say that is D're on a lot of influences with your
• 25:42
  music, but essentially you've got a unique blending of new metal, metcore and
• 25:48
  electronics that just worked somehow. But how do you get the balance in the
• 25:52
  writing and the recording process right? Like, how do you know when you've
• 25:56
  gone too far with one or not far enough with another? I think our
• 26:00
  mission with working with our current producer Chris Larlik, is how fucked up can
• 26:07
  we make it? We're never like, we never think we've gone too far
• 26:11
  because I feel like, you know, staying in the comfort zone, you're
• 26:15
  just going to get the thing you've always gotten. So I feel like,
• 26:18
  I mean, speaking for myself as a vocalist, I feel like every time
• 26:22
  I get into the studio, I'm trying to produce a different tone with my
• 26:26
  voice or I'm trying a different type of scream, and I feel like I
• 26:32
  never know what's coming because we're always trying to do something different to what we
• 26:36
  did in the last you know, the last recordings. So I don't know
• 26:41
  if we have a limit of what's what's gone too far. But I don't
• 26:45
  know, we're not too well like, We're definitely always going to be a
• 26:49
  heavy band, and we're always going to have those like metal elements with very
• 26:56
  melodic vocals and stuff that's really really like GEA. But outside of Parvative,
• 27:03
  I think from the start of this band never really ourselves to a certain genre.
• 27:07
  I mean, we've done songs are very very new metal. We've trap
• 27:12
  parts in our songs, and I think what's cool about the digital age is
• 27:18
  people have so many different influences in terms of genres and artists that it's sort
• 27:23
  of we're becoming very like genre fluid, and there's almost this like globalization of
• 27:30
  music genres or like genrealization, if that's that could be a word perhaps,
• 27:36
  So Yeah, I don't know. I'm interested in exploring new sounds and we
• 27:40
  just throw stuff at the wall and if it sounds good, it sounds good.
• 27:44
  That's generally the way, isn't it Well as look as we think it
• 27:48
  sounds good. I guess. You've also just announced a couple of headlining shows
• 27:52
  in November as well. Can you tell us a bit more about them?
• 27:56
  Yes, I'm so so excited. We've actually never headlined in Sydney before.
• 28:00
  Wow and Yeah, and this will be the second ever headline show in Melbourne
• 28:06
  and the other the first headline show that we played was actually over a year
• 28:08
  ago now and it was a bit of a last minute thing. So these
• 28:12
  feel like very pivotabal pivotal shows for us. And it's cool because it's the
• 28:19
  first time that we've been able to choose the lineup for each show. Fully,
• 28:25
  it's the first time that we have, you know, some extra time
• 28:27
  as well that we can really craft sets that you know, put our best
• 28:33
  foot forward. And we're going to be playing some brand new songs live that
• 28:37
  will be unreleased at the time. We'll be playing our upcoming single that's going
• 28:41
  to come out in November, and we've got some other cool surprises that we're
• 28:45
  going to be pulling out. So I'm really really excited about that. So
• 28:49
  he probably hasn't a guess and said the new single is going to be called
• 28:52
  Burn It Down? Would both be right? Yeah? Yeah, I know,
• 28:57
  I know, it's like we have start promoting the tour, but these,
• 29:02
  you know, the shows are going to be released shows for this new
• 29:03
  single, so I don't know, we just had to reveal it. I
• 29:07
  guess alright, Minicael, thanks very much, good time, but I reckon
• 29:11
  people find out more information about those shows and get themselves tickets. Awesome,
• 29:15
