  Speaker 5: a couple more. And then we went on tour with
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Super Heavy and then I just did it all the tour.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: It just just it's like snowboard, so fucking crazy describe it.

  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not gonna do comparative because I want
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: to keep.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It to you guys. But there's a real good Nichure there.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: And I as a music fan, as I said from
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: the from the get go, I was like, this is
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: fucking cool, very much on a fan and I was like, wow,
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: it's kind of like and I just did a bit
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: of backround, like really since twenty twenty three, I was like,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: this has ever been around that?
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: That's the crazy thing is like when we first started,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: it was just put out a single here, single here,
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: and you kind of just we were learning whilst doing
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: everything and.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Like learn how to write a song, learn how to
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: do studio.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: We've never like never done the proper studio before, so
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: everything's already new to all of us.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: And then it was just just a lumpsomous to go
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: and make an album. We've none of us have made
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: an album for me. People are doing and it's stressful. Yeah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: a lot, You learn a lot very quick, and making
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: an album is hard work.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, its blows. Yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a world. It's a very confronting experience.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, as a.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Boat I'm not hearing from it might be in it anyway,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: but as a vocalist it's it's intense. Yeah, comment on that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it strips you there.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and then you're going to figure out how to
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: big clothes.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Back on it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, pu yeah, big time.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: All of us. We were just like sat Studio. It
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: was like, oh no, you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Need to be better the game and it was like
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: oh god, and it was yeah, it's like, you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: it's not you don't have all the time the world.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: You've got yeah, thirty days, So yeah, you better do
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: it right now.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: You're not doing it all.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Because we we tore so heavily.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: We have been ton so heavily really since I guess
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the soup happens all. It's really pretty much yeah, which
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: was that was like eight Pool twenty for.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: All that time.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's like we've been lonsot tour and since
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: pretty much then, so we had to write this fucking
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: album whilst we're on tour. Any anything we have that's
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: dedicated to this fucking album.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: And then to be honest, we went to the studio
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't fully written either, so we had to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: go to the studio and carry on writing.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: There's two songs were fully written in the studio, like
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: the nightset of the vocals, melodies and lyrics we are
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: done there, and like obviously so much of everything else.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: So it's like a very like it's like a moment
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: in time, like that is it was there and that
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: is it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we learned some important lessons doing that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: So we've already started kind of getting things in gear.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: For the next one. And yeah, do you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Think like with the craziness of the first album, you know.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You're going to go and like stupidly organized or try
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and keep some.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Of that organic craziness. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I get what you said. Yeah, I think there definitely
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: has been mixed.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we had we felt like as hard as as
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: brew as that pressure was, it was very much like
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: the album wouldn't be.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: What it was with album what it is without it,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: So it's always good to have that pressure, but maybe
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: not like much.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's just like ten percent less.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, have time for the extra bit, not need all
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: the time to make.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: It yees, just to drop the anxiety. Yeah, just a
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: bit of a bit of cushion. Yeah, all right, so
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: it's a pretty crammed tour. I'm actually me and the
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: heavy crew are going to capture.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: The last show. Yeah, we get up n run.
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: Day, try at a high pace.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: So, as I said, pretty crammed tour. Is there like
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: anything that you're going.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: To try and get to outside of being in the band.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: There's one thing I want to do because I've seen
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: growing up, I've seen every band do it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: They all get the picture with the ko one thing
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: I've got koal that is like the one thing I
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: grew up like. Yeah, it's every single band that do
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: on the person a streams. They always get the picture
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: of I'm not leaving this country without.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well you've got an opportunity north of here,
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: and you've got opportunity in Sydney and Melbourne.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Will make it one. Or if you're driving anyway, just
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: if there's one of them, we're driving the whole tea.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: The road.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe probably when they're in danger.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: Hurt, they sit in gum trees and they actually get
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: fairly high off the least, so they.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Just say gun, it's a little wasted. Yeah, it'll wasted.

  Speaker 2: Not am their best.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: When they're full, you know, when they're hungry, they.
