- 0:00Yeah, today we have a whole crew from Slow Paul, one of the
- 0:34better hardcore bands that you need to listen to right now. So fucking good.
- 0:40But yeah, we got three of them. We'll have them introduce each
- 0:42other, introduce themselves here in a second. Um. But yeah, let's
- 0:47let's start at the top. Claymore, let let's hear your voice and then
- 0:50tell everybody what what instrument you do in the band. Yeah, my name
- 0:55is Claymore, and I played drums in Slow Polls. Nice nice, Matt,
- 1:02Hey, hey guys, when he is Matt, I play guitar and
- 1:03sloppols nice and last but not least, Brook, Hello, I'm Brooke and
- 1:08I am the vocalist sweet, the person that m fronts the entire band.
- 1:15I you know, Matt and Claymoart, you're good looking people, but I
- 1:19gotta say it's it's better that at least somebody else is up front and center.
- 1:25That's okay, I'll take I'll take Matt over anybody here not as typically
- 1:30the dreamboat of the band the time. Love it. Well, how are
- 1:36you guys doing today? I know Texas is hot as hell right now?
- 1:41Are you guys staying cool? And uh enjoying life right now, and in
- 1:45good old Texas, we're doing the best we can right now. You're wearing
- 1:49a sweatshirt, so you're doing just fine. It doesn't it doesn't matter if
- 1:57it's like freezing or like super hot. He is in his like sweatshirts all
- 2:01the time. I's comfortable. They're comfortable for me. True. Yeah,
- 2:05you'll you'll play shows in like full pants, full sleeves, and I'm like,
- 2:09I'm dying. Like it reminds me of like when high school wrestlers would
- 2:14practice and then they just like tape up their their uh sweatshirts and they're like
- 2:19in one hundred degree room just practicing, and it's like, what I mean,
- 2:23you're just I guess you were trying to make weight, but claimer you're
- 2:25trying to make weight for your at your shows or what. I actually just
- 2:30saw this, uh uh, this post on Instagram where this old lady down
- 2:36in Texas baked a loaf of bread in her mailbox. It's that I did
- 2:40see that too. It only took forty five minutes. That's what it takes
- 2:44in my oven. Man, That's awesome. I actually I went to a
- 2:47Whole Food the other day and I was we were actually, uh, we're
- 2:51gonna go play a show, and I was like getting a quick lunch before
- 2:53and I couldn't find it. And I was like where did I put Like
- 2:57this is like a little like rice bul And I was like, I can't,
- 2:59I can't find it. And it was cold. And then I went
- 3:00outside and I remember I left it outside because I had a bunch stuff to
- 3:02carry and I didn't even have to heat it up. I just got to
- 3:06you're supposed to micraving it, and I did it micro it. I literally
- 3:08just ate it. I was like, wow, it is hot outside.
- 3:12You know. The most absurd part of that story is the fact that you're
- 3:15in a hardcore band and you're able to shop at Whole Foods. Yeah,
- 3:21yeah, it's great. It's also I feel like that comes with being older
- 3:24starting a band too, Like I mean, now we're all in our thirties,
- 3:29so it's that helps. I mean, if I started this when I
- 3:31was, you know, younger, I don't think I would have been so
- 3:35yeah, that would make sense. That would make sense. Well, let's
- 3:38talk about the beginning of the band. You guys are fairly new, and
- 3:40so let's talk about kind of the early origins of Slow Pulse. I'm also
- 3:45very curious because you guys are kind of going eclectic group. I mean,
- 3:47I mean, we have three very different individuals here in terms of what you
- 3:52do professionally outside of the band. How did you guys meet? How did
- 3:54you guys get together and so late in your life compared to so many other
- 4:00bands right especially in the hardcore scene. I have met them, m I
- 4:08through other mutual friends. And then did I introduce you to yes? Okay,
- 4:13yeah, and we all just have a love for heavy music. And
- 4:15then that's like what really definitely brings us together. Well, well that's part
- 4:24but part of it, that's part of it. But I mean I like
- 4:27it better when you when you tell this story about how we all like officially
- 4:31came together. Okay, I'll tell it. So actually we're the three are
- 4:38original members. So I really wanted to start a band. Um, I've
- 4:44been like screaming in my parents like living room since I was like fourteen,
- 4:48and then I was finally like, I really want to start this band.
- 4:50So we have like a local emo night here and I'm friends with the guy
- 4:55that puts it on and I like just shot him a text in April of
- 4:59last year, and I was like, yo, can I just do like
- 5:02a cover set of heavy songs? I just like form a band? And
- 5:06he was like sure, June first is your date. So I was like,
- 5:09all right, I got a few months. I'm gonna get a band
- 5:11together. I'm gonna put like, we're gonna play covers and we're just gonna
- 5:15like do this. So um, I think I hit a claim More for
- 5:18I think claim More and I were kind of starting to like do like band
- 5:21stuff, and then and Matt and I have been friends just through mutual friends,
- 5:25and a mutual friend of ours was like, oh, Matt plays guitar,
- 5:28so I don't know, just hit him up. And I pretty much
- 5:29just took their word for I didn't even like listen to me. I was
- 5:32like, yeah, they play music, Like hell yeah, let's let's do
- 5:34this. That's the typical lead singer. Yeah, I don't know what you
- 5:40do. I hear you can play music. Yeah. I was like sure,
- 5:44it seems right, like let's do it. So they both agreed.
- 5:47So then we like got together and played basically this cover set at our EMO
- 5:54night. We played another one the next month, and then we were like,
- 5:57you know, we want to be a a real band, and I
- 6:00already had some songs written like lyrically and um yeah, we all just started
- 6:04writing and then we formed in a last August as like Soul Bowls. Wow.
- 6:10Wow, So like it's has he even technically been a year yet?
- 6:14You might be the most infant band we've probably ever interviewed on this podcast.
- 6:18Yeah, other than opponents. Yeah, other than opponents, I can't,
- 6:23but opponents they were also very they're all in their thirties as well. But
- 6:29why why now? Why not when you were fourteen screaming in your parents living
- 6:32room? Um, I don't know. Like I like went off to college
- 6:38and I was still really into music. Then, like I ran like my
- 6:42college radio station. I had like a hardcore show there. I've always really
- 6:44been into like hardcore stuff, but I was just like focusing on other things
- 6:47and it just kind of always seemed like it was something I was always always
- 6:50talking about. I was like always want to start a band. I always
- 6:53want to start man, just like never did it. Um. But then
- 6:56so like I lost my mom to cancer and so I started writing like about
- 6:59that, and when I was just like, you know, I've I started
- 7:02this business. I did that, Like, I'm pretty secure in it.
- 7:06I like, I want to do the one thing that I haven't done,
- 7:09and that was start a band. So I was like, you know,
- 7:11the only person that's gonna do it as me, So I'm just gonna do
- 7:14it. So I did it nice. And did you guys have any reservations?
- 7:17Matton and Claymore, Do you guys have reservations about this? Not really.
- 7:21I thought it sounded awesome and and yeah, like I think the when
- 7:25Brooke asked me about it, it was just gonna be like a one time
- 7:28thing, and so it's just just hey, you know, like, okay,
- 7:30that sounds pretty cool, like like one show whatever. It would be
- 7:34fun. But yeah, the first show just ended up going over really well.
- 7:38All of our friends came. It was so much fun. But we've
- 7:41already started to like play really well together, and so that's that's kind of
- 7:43at that point we're like, well, hey, let's it doesn't make sense
- 7:46to just kind of like hang it up now, you know. So yeah,
- 7:48I was just all in. Um, I didn't really think that,
- 7:50you know, I never thought when she asked me that like a year ago,
- 7:54if that would be playing like furnace, like a year later. Never
- 7:57would have ever thought that, So, well do you guys just got done
- 8:00with so what as well? Right? Yeah, how was that experience?
- 8:05It's great. It was awesome. I mean, besides it being hot earned
- 8:07hell out there, it was great so much the first time being on a
- 8:13really big stage like that in front of a bunch of people. It was
- 8:18just it was wild. Yeah, Claymore, did you have some reservations about
- 8:22about this thing? So, like, yeah, I thought we were like
- 8:26only doing just the emo night, and then it was just crazy how many
- 8:33people were there, especially for like a first time. I hadn't played music
- 8:39in over fifteen years. I was in bands like oh wow in high school
- 8:45whole thing. Then had to grow up get a job, so like the
- 8:48music stuff just kind of went on the back burner. But yeah, we
- 8:52played that first show and then we got asked to play another one like a
- 8:56month later, so we played that one as well. Yeah, it was
- 9:01it was just kind of wild. I didn't think it was we were going
- 9:05to keep going at it, and like I have a son and like I
- 9:07work, like you know, Monday through Friday and stuff like that, so
- 9:11it's just it's wild how quickly things have taken off since then. I I
- 9:18can't even imagine the whirlwind this has to be. So how did you get
- 9:22on the radar of of you know, some pretty large festivals hastials that are
- 9:26kind of like namemakers out there. Yeah. Yeah, So Mike Zeemer like
- 9:33hurt us and he was a fan, and he was basically like, I
- 9:37really want to help you guys out, like I see a lot of potential
- 9:39there, like you guys are he liked the music, and we like you
- 9:41know, met him and he was like, yell, are pretty cool too,
- 9:43And so I don't know, he's just really been like taking us under
- 9:46his wing and like trying to like make help us and because he believes in
- 9:52us, I guess, And yeah, it's really cool. We've been like
- 9:54so grateful. Like I literally if I were to tell like my fourteen year
- 9:58old self that I was like we were going to play Furnace and open for
- 10:03like Walls of Jericho, and I'll throw down and like you know, with
- 10:07honor, like I just in disbelief. It's it's insane. Well, I
- 10:11think even what makes it even more kind of ridiculous, if if you will,
- 10:16is the fact that you guys only have like a handful of songs.
- 10:18It's not like you've released a number of albums, like you guys are brand
- 10:22new. You just said, like, you know, it's been only eleven
- 10:24months since really being a band. You have what like five songs, like
- 10:28a handful of songs out there. So the fact that there there's not a
- 10:33ton to go off of, but yet you still clearly have like already gained
- 10:37respect in the industry is pretty cool. So I just find that so interesting,
- 10:41not just the fact that you guys are new as a band, but
- 10:45also there's only a few songs out there and you're getting these massive festivals that
- 10:48are interested. It's wild. It's what we do have more on the way,
- 10:52which I will probably get too later, but yeah, because like when
- 10:56we play a set, like people see us too, Like we we definitely
- 10:58have more songs out there, but we just you know, we're waiting for
- 11:03the EP release to happen, to release the rest. Yeah, is there
- 11:09is there any chance that at Furnace Best we're gonna have like a physical option
- 11:13to purchase the EP. We've talked about it. Um, it's just kind
- 11:18of a funny time for physical media, right, Um, definitely, Yeah,
- 11:22from We still waiting on Taylor Swift to get through all of her nonsense.
- 11:26It's insane. Yeah, exactly, But yeah, I think I think,
- 11:30like from what I understand the waytime vinyl is crazy long, probably we
- 11:33don't. We won't have time to get that done. Sounds like people don't
- 11:35really buy CDs much. True, we will have asked us about it.
- 11:39It just really depends. But what about a cassette exactly? That's what I
- 11:41was gonna say. Yeah, you know, you see a lot of people
- 11:43doing those, so I start to wonder if there's enough people with nineteen nineties
- 11:48Honda's running around to do you even play a cassette anymore? Though? You
- 11:52know? Yeah, it's like a novelty. We're actually playing it a tape
- 11:56release show next Saturday because a band, a local band from here, they're
- 12:00called nerve Um, they're releasing one and they're they're doing the tape thing and
- 12:03yeah, still do it. I know they do it. It just surprises
- 12:07me. I mean I did, I wouldn't even know where to find a
- 12:09tape deck these days. Crazy. It's good that still has an old boombox.
- 12:15I'm sure he does. He doesn't throw anything away, so if you
- 12:18guys, if you guys, you know, make a cassette, just know
- 12:22that you at least have like my dad, that would at least be in
- 12:24the market, I guess listen. Probably not, but at least he would
- 12:30have the like, the means to listen to it. Yeah, yeah,
- 12:33well that's what everyone will have. The are the notice getting as Yes,
- 12:37Corey's Corey's white hair would turn brown again. I think if you listen to
- 12:41slow pulls, at least something would turn brown. It might not be his
- 12:45hair, but it'd be fun to do. So we'll definitely talk about that
- 12:52thing. Sweet Claymore, you said you weren't you hadn't been playing for for
- 12:56fifteen years? Were you keeping up on the chops the entire time? Because
- 13:01like drums is like one of those things where you do tend to lose it
- 13:05a little bit and you don't sound like you've lost it whatsoever. Or maybe
- 13:09you were just like maybe you were like like Neil Pert level at one point
- 13:13ahead of my time back in the scene. No, when I work,
- 13:20I actually drummed with my feet a lot o. Sweet it just all those
- 13:26years I still was just you know, playing along to songs that I was
- 13:28listening to actually learned how to play drums from air drumming. Actually really Yeah,
- 13:35Hey, Colin, You've always said that I'm like the best little like
- 13:39tap drummer that you've ever met. So maybe it like actually could translate.
- 13:43I've always wondered if it would. It is weird because it does kind of
- 13:46actually translate for you to their actual kit, and it did. Yeah,
- 13:50yeah, that's crazy about this, like Blink Win eighty two song and uh,
- 13:54me and my buddy had just switched like instruments one day just for the
- 13:58fun of it, you know. So he was playing guitar and then I
- 14:01sat on the drums and then all right, I remember like trying to play
- 14:05them and it was just like I didn't know what to do. And then
- 14:11I thought back to that song and I did like that basic like punk beat,
- 14:15you know, and we both just like kind of looked at each other
- 14:18and I was like, holy shit, and okay, we're gonna play this
- 14:22bliquity two songs. We played it like start to finish, like we were
- 14:28both like screaming at each other the whole time. It was just really weird.
- 14:33But that I learned how to play drums, so I felt like even
- 14:35though not playing on actual drum set all those years, like I was still
- 14:39beating on stuff and tapping on stuff. So sure. But yeah, first
- 14:45time in over fifteen years was last year. We practiced what three months before
- 14:50the Emo night. Yeah, it was really quick. We had a really
- 14:52quick turnaround for all of us never playing together. I never played a show
- 14:56before. That was my first show ever, and likes have never even.
- 15:00Yeah, we never played together, so it was shocking to all of us.
- 15:03Yeah, yeah, it was. Yeah, started on. I don't
- 15:07know if you're gonna say the same thing. Were you about to say it?
- 15:09I don't know. I don't know what you're gonna say. Originally supposed
- 15:15to play bass in slow Poles. Oh yeah, yeah yeah. The first
- 15:20time I went over to my house, Yeah, he was playing bass and
- 15:24uh and then um for whatever reason, you know, He's like, oh,
- 15:26I also played drums too, and he got on the drums. I
- 15:28was like, oh, you should probably play drums, dude, that's his
- 15:33way. But it was like my dad taught me how to play guitar.
- 15:39That was my first. It was like the drummer that we originally had couldn't
- 15:43make it, and so we're like well, how are we gonna play it?
- 15:46Like, are we gonna pay us out drums? So then Claimer would
- 15:48just dump on it and we'd be like wait a minute, and we're like,
- 15:52no, you can't get all the drums out now, like you're on
- 15:54Druss. He's like, but man, I gotta worry these sweatshirts all the
- 16:00time. I'm getting it sweaty? Is it? You can't find drummers everywhere.
- 16:06You can find bass players anywhere, you know, So it's true,
- 16:08that is kind of true, just kidding. We love Chris. He couldn't
- 16:11make it today. Think he's busy, but uh he's yeah, he's dead
- 16:15to us. You know. Yeah, we got we got the we got
- 16:18the three ones that matter here appreciate it since most of you well, Claimer,
- 16:25you said you were in bands like fifteen years ago. But whoa,
- 16:29oh, someone's house is burning down. That's ever happened before. Let's hope
- 16:34stopped. I guess imagine the first the first podcast recording where somebody is getting
- 16:40interviewed and their house is burning down while they're doing the interview. That would
- 16:42be so hardcore, pretty hard. So, Claimer, you said that you
- 16:48haven't been in bands for fifteen years and the rest of you, Like it
- 16:52doesn't sound like you have been in like if you have been in any bands,
- 16:56Like you haven't been in any bands for quite some time. Like do
- 17:00you ever kind of get this sense now that like you're like, oh,
- 17:03this is so great, Like we're playing festivals, now, we're recording music.
- 17:07All of this seems to be really really great. Do you ever like
- 17:10have this sort of sense of like regret of like not starting it earlier doing
- 17:15this kind of thing, like maybe in your twenties, do you have any
- 17:17regret around that or anyway, I'm curious like what your sort of reflection is
- 17:21on going back in time thinking about like oh, this would have been so
- 17:25much fun or maybe not or whatever. Um, well, okay, so
- 17:30this is this is my first band ever, so I've never I've never played
- 17:32in a band before. The only thing I would say is like I feel
- 17:37like I my vocal Like if I were to be practicing all these years,
- 17:41I feel like I would be a better vocalist because I just like I practiced
- 17:45a lot when I was like really young, like when I lived at home
- 17:48with them, when I was like you know, in college and whatever.
- 17:49I just really stopped and didn't and sometimes like in a car, I would
- 17:52just like you know, stream along at things. But like I think that's
- 17:55my only regret really is like I could have, like damn, I con
- 17:59been practicing this whole time, Like I've just sounded like even crazier now,
- 18:02But um no, I feel like it really like just with how everything is
- 18:06played out with us, like I guess said, we feel like super fortunate.
- 18:08And I feel like, you know, having a band with like being
- 18:11an adult, like having money to be able to like get gas to go
- 18:15to place it, you know, and like I don't have an experience from
- 18:18before, but just what I've heard from other bands, you know, like
- 18:21it's just and like without all of us being able to step away from our
- 18:23jobs, like with the kind of jobs that we have, it like really
- 18:26helps us like put the time and effort into it. Whereas before when I
- 18:29was starting to like build a company or go to school, like it wouldn't
- 18:32have been like as easy, I think truly. Yeah, who who can
- 18:36say anything bad about having a little bit of money to be able to have
- 18:40the freedom to do this thing, right? That would not always be the
- 18:42case. Yeah, otherwise you'd be starting at ground zero. Right now,
- 18:47because you know your band just broke up. You've been playing since you were
- 18:51eighteen. Oh man, that happens. It happens to most bands, right,
- 18:56Yeah, yeah, that's wild. That's a good point. Yeah,
- 19:00what about for you guys? Do you guys have any regrets about not doing
- 19:04this earlier? Yeah? A little different for me, I guess I've been
- 19:08in bands kind of just off and on since I was younger, maybe like
- 19:11six or seven of them or something, nothing that really really got off the
- 19:15ground, just kind of like a thing for fun. I grew up in
- 19:18Oklahoma. The scene back then was like not like it is here in Austin
- 19:22obviously, So like every we'd play the same venue all the time. The
- 19:26only crowd that would really be there opening for Pillar, right, yeah,
- 19:30lips or something do exactly. No, I think our biggest show is opening
- 19:33for a skylt Drive. So after doing that for a few years, you
- 19:37know, it got a little old. Moved to Austin, had another kind
- 19:40of like small stuff. But yeah, I know, like right off the
- 19:42bat with this one, it's you know, people a lot of people just
- 19:45care about it, care about the band, people come to the shows.
- 19:48It's really cool. So I've just never had that personally, so yeah,
- 19:52I wouldn't say much regret really. Um, you know I tried, you
- 19:55know, kind of like not that serious bands in the past. But yeah,
- 19:57I'm just along for the I hear it's it's been grateful for. Yeah.
- 20:02No, being in Austin's gonna be pretty nice that that is a music
- 20:04city. If if I've ever bend to one, are you guys gonna destroy
- 20:08Austin City Limits one of these days here? That'd be pretty sweet. I
- 20:14like, if we played ACL I don't I don't know if they would ask
- 20:15us. I don't know for their cup of team. They ever had a
- 20:18hardcore band, No, a Lotapaluza never heard I mean not Lollapaluza. Yeah,
- 20:25a lot of Palusa never had knocked loose, but now they do so
- 20:27yeah, you know, and they had scowl too. Yeah that's right.
- 20:32Yeah, no reason that Austin City Limits can't have you. Now there's a
- 20:37little more like a boy hats and like really happy like indie kind of stuff,
- 20:40you know. But yeah, you never know, they have like wrapped.
- 20:44Yeah, it would be cool though, I mean that's the gateway.
- 20:47Yeah, yeah, we would certainly not turn down that opportunity. I was
- 20:52just like shock, all those ACL fans that'd be amazing. I would love
- 20:59that. Well, everybody stopped anyway, like when we play, because people
- 21:03that haven't heard heard us or seen us that are there as soon as Brooke
- 21:07might checks, everyone just like pushes to the front because they're just like,
- 21:15Al's open, Like holy shit, what girls like yeah to watch happened.
- 21:26It happens each time. I love it. That was reaction when I first
- 21:29heard Brooks boys. I think it was a song that she did over at
- 21:32your house, right, Claymore. Yeah, And my friend, my buddy
- 21:34Jake, She's like he's like, oh yeah, this is Brooke And I
- 21:37was like what, Like it was like a first of all, I had
- 21:38no idea she did that, and she sounded already better than so many like
- 21:42you know vocalists that uh I hear it is so yeah, just blown away.
- 21:48So yeah, I think everyone else kind of has the same reaction too.
- 21:51Yeah, yeah, I can imagine. I know, Like, I
- 21:53mean you sort of brought this up a little bit, Claymore, and I
- 21:56like I don't really want to get into the whole like oh, female runted
- 22:00band thing and like just being like derivative in that way, But like,
- 22:03do you have like a sense of pride brook around like the fact that there
- 22:07is kind of this like movement it seems like in the hardcore scene of like
- 22:11women being upfront and and women being more involved than they seem to have been
- 22:17maybe in the past. I guess I don't know what the hardcore scene was
- 22:19back in like the nineties and early two thousands as much, but like maybe
- 22:23that you have thoughts around that. I don't. I know you probably are
- 22:26like I don't want to be like known as just like the female fronted like
- 22:30hardcore band. I'm sure that's not a thing that you really cared too much
- 22:33about. But also I imagine there's like some sense of pride of like being
- 22:36a woman in a hardcore band and being upfront. Yeah, So, like
- 22:40I I mean, I was always really influenced by this band called Bloodlink Calligraphy
- 22:44and it's a vocalist. Her name's Ali French, and it was originally a
- 22:48guy vocalist and she heard them one time. We're like went to a show
- 22:52and she was like I could do better than him, and like she literally
- 22:56like try like told the band that or something and like they made her vocalists
- 23:00and so I was always really inspired by that because I was always really into
- 23:03hardcore and like there weren't a lot of yet like women in that scene.
- 23:07It was like definitely like a male driven scene. And yeah, so like
- 23:11whenever girls come to like our shows and stuff, I love it. Like
- 23:15I I strongly encourage girls like get in the pit or you know, like
- 23:19h and I always kind of wear like girlier clothes to you because I'm a
- 23:22pretty girly person in general anyway, and like just to you know, like
- 23:26break that, like you know, just not really to change who I am
- 23:32or whatever, like just show that you don't have to be like the toughest
- 23:33or whatever to like be play heavy music, Like you can be exactly who
- 23:37you are and like look exactly how you want to look, and like still
- 23:41like scream just as tough as anyone, and like do the thing. So
- 23:44yeah, I like I don't like, yeah, of course, like the
- 23:48female friend of the thing. When we get like compared to bands sometimes and
- 23:52they're like, oh, they sound like this band, I'm like, actually
- 23:53not at all. But I know that you're just saying that a girl screaming.
- 23:57But I don't think you sound like that whatsoever. But so that's kind
- 24:00of like weird, and I don't like love that part of it. But
- 24:03absolutely I love when girls are like in it in the scene because I mean
- 24:06that's how I was inspired, and you know, I hope that I could
- 24:08do the same for others too, because absolutely, yeah, it's great.
- 24:12I was showing my wife your your music video generation and she goes, you
- 24:19know, the lead singer, she's not really dressed, like she's not really
- 24:25dressed like most lead singers of metal bands, And I'm like, yeah,
- 24:29she's not. She's dressed like a like a woman. Yeah, like she's
- 24:33not trying to be Elvira or some shit like, Yeah, I love that.
- 24:37It's awesome. Yeah, yeah, that's just dress girly and just you
- 24:41know, show that. Like I said, whoever, like it doesn't matter
- 24:42what you look like or whatever, you can also do it, you know.
- 24:47Yeah, sick, I love it. I am very very curious to
- 24:52know how the guys over at Furnace Best got a hold of you guys and
- 24:56they put you on the shed bash day. I mean, that's that's like
- 25:00top of the line. That's the stuff, that's where you want to be
- 25:03it's going to be a riot in there. Are you guys excited for it?
- 25:07What? What expectations do you have? Are you guys going to burn
- 25:11the place down? Hopefully not? It's a national landmark, so please don't
- 25:15do that. But I mean, like figuratively, yeah, we're insanely excited.
- 25:21I I would be lying if I said I wasn't really nervous. See
- 25:29what I said. You're texted about it today already, because I still can't
- 25:33believe it. It's it's so crazy, like just counting down the days.
- 25:41It's just like, wow, I it's I mean, we're all it's gonna
- 25:45be the biggest thing any of us have played. And um yeah, and
- 25:48I've gone a Furnace best the past few years and like, I absolutely love
- 25:52that. It's like my favorite festival. So like to be going for two
- 25:55years and then asked to play it the third year is just fucking mind blowing.
- 26:00Yeah, who reached out to you? So Mike Ziemer is like someone
- 26:04that I was like I brought up earlier and he U is like a part
- 26:07of Furnace and he'd like, I don't know, I guess he talked to
- 26:11all of the Furnace best people, and they all were on board for us,
- 26:15and they I guess we're wanting to you know, feature some newer bands,
- 26:19and so we fortunately got asked. But we also actually um before Mike
- 26:26last year they did like a Battle of the Band's thing and they did it
- 26:27this year too. But last year they did it and we made the top
- 26:30ten UM, so we were already like kind of on their radar from that
- 26:34UM and then yeah, and then we got asked to play this year.
- 26:37At that point, we had like one song out or something like that.
- 26:40Yeah, we literally had like what three maybe out, and we were like
- 26:44we're like, oh my god, I honestly thank god we did not play
- 26:47that last Yeah, a lot of that was driven by our friends. Our
- 26:48friends were being really nice and voting for us for sure, and yeah,
- 26:52but yeah, like I was like, I was secretly like I was like,
- 26:55hey, obviously it'd be really cool last year we played it up.
- 26:57But also the other side of me was like, ik, a doll,
- 27:00like we have, like all are we gonna do? Like, yeah,
- 27:04you probably have to do some covers or something. Yeah, that would have
- 27:07been crazy with way more shows under our bill now not still not like a
- 27:15ton obviously, right, but but now I think we're we feel way more
- 27:18prepared for sure. Yeah, Cullen, I think The Undertaking is playing on
- 27:23Friday, right. I think I just saw Austin talk about that. I
- 27:29don't know, I had to I had to check. I think they're playing
- 27:30on Friday. And I'm guessing that like Slow Pulse and Undertaking are gonna be
- 27:34playing like probably some time around the same time in the shed, so like
- 27:38maybe one after the other something, but I'm guessing you both will be playing
- 27:42like right around each other's uh sets. But I tell you what, Like
- 27:45I'm gonna be jumping off the stage and doing whatever I can, Like,
- 27:51I'm gonna be going all out for both of those shows. We're really good
- 27:53friends with the Undertaking. I don't know if you guys have heard them yet,
- 27:56but you definitely should check them out, very like kind of every time
- 27:59I die, chaotic hardcore kind of stuff. Uh. And then yeah,
- 28:03and then you guys are be playing. It's just it's gonna be it's gonna
- 28:06be a ball for at least probably. I'm I'm guessing you guys are gonna
- 28:08be playing right around the same time. So you said you're gonna jump off
- 28:11the stage, right, Oh yeah, okay, all right, you can
- 28:15really will, no questions asked. I would like to stage. I've way
- 28:19more this year than I did last year. Hell yeah, I love it.
- 28:25So I'm exciting, like like a new band like that for first festival.
- 28:27Like obviously we'd expect to be put on like the small stage opening up
- 28:32the festival, right, I mean we're very new, right, but to
- 28:34the fact that we get the chance to play at the I think it's the
- 28:37cool stage for sure. Oh yeah, Brooke and I went two years ago.
- 28:41I think she went last year too, But yeah, I guess that
- 28:45wasn't the main stage technically, but I thought I spend most of my time
- 28:48in there because I think it was just really bad ass. So it's like
- 28:52main stage part two. Yeah. Yeah, there's like two main stages and
- 28:56there's nothing like it, though there's there's a lot of festival stages like the
- 28:57other one. You know, it's still still really cool obviously, but the
- 29:00shed like that is just really unique and uh yeah, huge, Yeah,
- 29:04it's nuts over there. Let's talk about a new EP. It sounds like
- 29:10is coming out here soon. Lets let's chat a little bit more about it.
- 29:12What do you want to tell us about it? H So, what
- 29:17we're thinking about releasing it with a show that we're gonna put on out here
- 29:23in Austin on August thirty first. Hey, there we go. People come
- 29:30out on September first, right the Friday. Yeah, probably, UM tease
- 29:37another song off of it soon though, so please before that and then we'll
- 29:41come out with it. It's it's a five song EP and some of the
- 29:45songs are already out. There's two of the songs that are already out that
- 29:48are going to be on it, and then there's three that no one you've
- 29:51heard it our shows we debuted one of We debuted the last song at so
- 29:55what we opened with it. Um, people have heard that and we'll we'll
- 29:59continue you to play it. But yeah, unless you're at a show,
- 30:03you have not heard heard the other three yet. Nice. I don't think
- 30:07we've shared the release date yet. So that's a Black Sheet Podcast exclusive.
- 30:11There we go. That's what I liked it. That's what I'm here for,
- 30:15all the exclusives all. Yeah, so what we went into the studio
- 30:21to record all of those when back in January or um December of last year
- 30:27year started November December, kind I could do going in. We're doing one
- 30:30song at a time, like eight hours or so, and then we were
- 30:33figuring out I think we can try to try to knock out two at a
- 30:36time. So we went They're totally three or four times or something. Dan
- 30:40Flynn, he's he's great. The studio there's amazing. It's like way too
- 30:44nice for for what we need. It's really cool to visit. And I
- 30:49think Brookstone in for for years, right, m Yeah, yeah, for
- 30:55a while around it's a very happy place to go. But um, but
- 30:57yeah, it's been great. Yeah, Brick, It's crazy the contacts you
- 31:02have. It's almost like you've it's almost like you've been in the like in
- 31:06hardcore bands your entire life. The fact that you've been able to network like
- 31:08this, or have you just been doing makeup for everybody and that's the case.
- 31:11Honestly. I've been just like really big into the hardcore scene, like
- 31:15I said, since I was like thirteen fourteen, Like I'm from Houston,
- 31:18so I was like really big into it there. But like I've shows have
- 31:22been like my life and like heavy music literally forever, and I'm just I'm
- 31:26always I like always show up for shows like local bands. I always like
- 31:27I'm supporting local bands, bigger bands, whatever, Like I'm just that is
- 31:32like my favorite place to be. So I've just like stayed really connected within
- 31:36the music world like forever because it's just it's I love it. So speaking
- 31:41of that, then you guys are playing Furnace Fests on Friday. Are you
- 31:45playing on staying the entire weekend then so you can see all the other shows
- 31:49and Claymore this is your first time, right, yeah, I mean besides
- 31:55so what last month. This is like my first time going to Furnace and
- 32:00first like overall like festival. So wow. So who are you guys excited
- 32:05to see? Most announced today? And I am like, Haymaker was my
- 32:10jam, I We're not going announce today. I was like, no way.
- 32:15And they're playing on Friday two, So that is like very exciting to
- 32:19me. Yea, I'm excited to see further seams forever. M I would
- 32:24not have pegged you as the further seams forever. I love it. That's
- 32:32great. Either soft stuff for him or like the most brutal stuff. Yeah.
- 32:38Between there and then they're making the Stallion so oh he gets dirty,
- 32:45dirty like, oh, you should hear Matt and Brook rap. They're actually
- 32:51we probably should have a little bit of a taste of this at Furnace Fest.
- 32:54I think we only have five songs. I mean you have to fill
- 32:58that time a little bit somewhere else, right, Yeah, I would love
- 33:01for to do that. Also, we will get another mic. I would
- 33:07that that would really make it for me. I don't think I've ever I
- 33:10don't think I've ever said anything on Mike during a show. I just leave
- 33:14that to Brooke and our bass player. He's like a big He's really good
- 33:16at hyping up the crowd and stuff instead of word, so probably keep it
- 33:21that way for at least a while. Sucks that he's dead to us man,
- 33:23Yeah, I know, but yeah, for me, I don't know.
- 33:28There's so many bands. Um, I'm really syed Seesao again. Oh
- 33:31yeah, I've been a fan of their since I was like twelve or something
- 33:36like that, and I don't know how they just keep getting better, right,
- 33:38I know, it's amazing age like fine Wine, Yeah, they really
- 33:43do. And like I think, especially their new stuff like no one even
- 33:45really sounds like that and yeah, really badass. And I'd only really seen
- 33:50The first time I'd seen him was two years ago furnst in the shed stage.
- 33:52Finally got to see him, so really excited to see him again.
- 33:57We've interviewed them a few times. They are the nicest guy, genuinely the
- 34:00nicest humans. That's great, true. Yeah, that's awesome. Brooke.
- 34:05How about you? Who are you looking forward to see throw Down? So
- 34:10many though? Yeah? Throw it out? But that that curveball today.
- 34:15I wasn't expecting it. I did not know and then I saw it and
- 34:17I've just been jamming that album all day. Um, And I posted on
- 34:22my Instagram, like the most embarrassing, cringe worthy photo of me ever wearing
- 34:24a Thrown Down shirt doing a peace sign with my digital camera in my parents'
- 34:29bathroom, and I it's it's atrocious, but I've been reading it forever.
- 34:36Oh that is awesome. That's just so pure. I think that was the
- 34:39last band to be announced too, if I remember right. I think I
- 34:43think they have the final lineup now. I think it's everybody there's I think
- 34:47they're I think they're waiting on one more because Pink Spiders dropped out, so
- 34:51there's gonna be one more announcement at some point. Okay, they have not
- 34:55filled that spot as far as I know, that would be wow wow.
- 35:01Yeah, honestly, the whole lineup is sick though, like Furnaces doesn't miss
- 35:05like that. It's like my favorite festival because the lineup is just always killer
- 35:09and it's fun to like go to a festival and be like wow, I
- 35:12want to see every single band instead of like I'm gonna wait three hours to
- 35:15see this next thing, you know what I mean, Like it's just so
- 35:17stacked, so pretty much I'm just excited. The whole thing, Yeah you
- 35:21can you can sell first is run by people that really enjoy the music and
- 35:24they love the music. They're not just necessarily trying to sell as made sick
- 35:28as as possible. So those are my kind of favorite festivals when it seems
- 35:30really curated like that like what we're was talking about, and they just bring
- 35:35back bands back from the dead too, like and that's really really unlike any
- 35:39other festival I've ever seen. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy and that and
- 35:44not only just for like a momentary part of time, like sometimes like we
- 35:49they're like, oh yeah we're actually getting back together now, not just like
- 35:52for this one off. Yeah, it's official. Now, Yeah, you've
- 35:55seen that a lot, and it's to talk to bands like that. Yeah,
- 35:58we just interviewed nine pound Woos and they haven't done anything for twenty three
- 36:01years and then the whole Furnace Fest opportunity came up and now they're like,
- 36:07well, maybe we'll give something more now. Like they're just I mean,
- 36:09it's all up in the air and they have no idea what that could be,
- 36:12but like they're at least like they're willing to like entertain the thought of
- 36:15like doing something in the future. But it all was catalyzed by playing a
- 36:20Furnace Fest this year. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's awesome. Like
- 36:22with Honor too. With Honor has been like one of my longtime favorite bands
- 36:25and I'd never seen them before and I saw the Furnace two years ago and
- 36:28then they're, you know, playing again, and now they just released two
- 36:30new songs with a band called Fame, who was a female fronted um vocalist,
- 36:36and I'm like, that's so cool, Like yeah, they're like coming
- 36:37back and like making music again and it's and I seriously feel like Furnace Hows
- 36:40you know, helped with that for sure. Yeah, they're like Jesus to
- 36:46to uh Lazarus, Yes, exactly, all right. Should we get to
- 36:57top five, this is probably is going to take a little bit longer than
- 37:00normal, so we probably do top three because that's right, top three.
- 37:02So we'll do top three most influential albums from each of you, and so
- 37:07whoever wants to start, we can kind of go in like alternating order,
- 37:12so you can just like give one and then the next person can give one,
- 37:15or you can do all three in a row, whatever you want to
- 37:16do. So, but let's hear it. Top three most influential albums.
- 37:22Who's starting? Okay? Um, God, I've been stressing with this.
- 37:25Okay, so number one for me for sure, hands down. Um.
- 37:30I mentioned them earlier. It's a band called blood Line Calligraphy. Um.
- 37:32It was the first time that I really like loved female vocals a lot.
- 37:37She has like kind of a voice like similar mine. It is like in
- 37:39a deeper register. Um. It's m blood lengk Calligraphy. Day Want You
- 37:44Silent is like a bang or front to back. It's just what really got
- 37:47me into practicing. And that's what I literally screamed too for an hour that
- 37:51my parents would let me in their house. So that's one thrice illusion of
- 37:54safety. Oh I saw that played last year. I'm sure you saw them.
- 38:00Oh my god. Yeah, I was at the very front. I
- 38:02knew every foot word, like, um, I used to like even before
- 38:07I was screaming, Like, I just like love their lyrics, so I
- 38:08would like try to like write lyrics also, but I would literally just like
- 38:12take their lyrics and like switch the spots of them and like Thris's lyrics and
- 38:15like everyone a song. No I didn't, Hey, were you really drunk
- 38:19at that show last year? Um, there's a great possibility. Remember,
- 38:25I actually think I remember spotting you in the front. I was in the
- 38:29very I told someone to someone's like jumped in the front and like stood there
- 38:32like I guess they like crowded or something. Then they like stood in front
- 38:36of me and I was like, literally move. I was like, you
- 38:37cannot. I am. I am five foot two, this is my I
- 38:40am here for this in my way. Um, so yeah, that is
- 38:45It probably was me and if I was having the time of my life.
- 38:50We're good friends with Dustin Cancer. He's he's so good. I just saw
- 38:53them, Um, they were just here. They played emos and they played
- 38:58all of Artists in the Ambulance, which is an ore one of my favorite
- 39:00albums too. Um, and they played all of that and it was and
- 39:04the re uh like the real uh not Matt like remix of it, I
- 39:07guess if you will, of Artists and Ambulance. Oh my god, I
- 39:12love it so much. Yeah, they're they're just amazing, Like they're incredible.
- 39:15And they even said, like when they played Allusion of Safety, like
- 39:17some of the songs they had like played like once or twice live before,
- 39:21like dead Mine, said like just crazy, They're amazing. And then my
- 39:25last one, I'm pretty sure Matt can agree to this one. It's,
- 39:28um the Goofy movie soundtrack there is that's a joke. But also we really
- 39:38loved that, and we bring up the movie movie like far too often.
- 39:43Um, so I had to say that one too. Uh. Do you
- 39:45remember like the little cigarette lighter thing, yea, the scene in the movie
- 39:49where they try to like warm up Canna banes. When I was a kid,
- 39:53I tried doing that so many times and so upset that it never worked
- 39:59trying. Yeah, Like we did a little like run with Evergreen Terrist and
- 40:06it was like our first little like tour. So we were like all driving
- 40:07together and Matt just puts on out on the open road like from the soundtrack,
- 40:10and it was I died. It was it was. It was good.
- 40:14And then we talked to every Gen terrorists and they weirdly loved the goof
- 40:16movie too, And did it cover song that they showed us? Oh yeah,
- 40:22Like what the fuck? Like was it was it? What's what's the
- 40:27artists power line? Power Line? Yes? Did they do the power line
- 40:30song? Yeah? Yeah, and they did like they did like bare version
- 40:32of it like Alex like the tart player to that. It was. It
- 40:37was awesome was showing us all these songs based off of the Goofy movie that
- 40:42like just like yeah, so we're getting a Goofy movie song at furnace us
- 40:50right, or a Goofy movie shirt or I don't know that I would be
- 40:54so down for that. The movie lighter to R. I don't know.
- 41:00The Goofy Movie might have been the first movie I ever saw in theaters,
- 41:04like on opening weekend. I was probably like four or five. I think
- 41:08it was like probably the first one I ever saw in theaters, at least
- 41:12that I remember. That's a core memory. That's what's up? Yeah it
- 41:15was great. Yeah, well down hill from there, I was supposed to
- 41:17see a better movie. Yeah that's right, right, Yeah, okay,
- 41:22can I can that be my third one? That? Yeah, steal it
- 41:28from Matt. I know Matt was about to say it. So I'm glad
- 41:30that Matt has to figure out another album. Yeah, and you was gonna
- 41:34take it from him. I'll go and go next. Yeah, it's funny.
- 41:37When you I saw that that message come through, I thought it was
- 41:40like one for each of us, and so I had to think of a
- 41:43couple more real quick. But but I have three now. But yeah,
- 41:45they're all kind of different reasons. Um, I think the first one that
- 41:49immediately just came to my mind. Um, they're only chasing safety under oath.
- 41:53Just just uh, it's such it's just so good. I love every
- 41:58single song on there as much as I do it um today as I did
- 42:01back when it came out. But I think I discovered that right when it
- 42:04came what was that maybe like oh three oh four four, so like a
- 42:07year after I started playing guitar um. But yeah, I just i'd never
- 42:12really fallen in love with a record like that, and just really caused me
- 42:15to just love music and just know that maybe if it's not like my one
- 42:19hundred percent career, it's you know, there's always gonna be something that I'm
- 42:21gonna be doing in music in general, one way or another. And that's
- 42:23pretty much been the case since since then. I'd say, uh, yeah,
- 42:28we saw them two years ago. Furnace was so cool. It was
- 42:30yeah, they basically sound better now than they ever have. Ut Sun Sleeps.
- 42:36That was crazy. That was such a cool moment. I was like,
- 42:38holy fucking shit, Yeah that was amazing. That was amazing. Um.
- 42:43But the next one, I'd say for more like kind of guitar stuff
- 42:45that because I don't think under Oath really you know, we don't sound anything
- 42:49like them, right, But uh, just for like guitar risks I've I've
- 42:52fell in love with like We're really um just heavy stuff from an early age.
- 42:55So discovered Pantera really early on. And I'd say their third album,
- 43:01far Beyond Driven, Yeah for me, just so sick, the riffs in
- 43:06there, the songs, the energy so sick. Because you know, Diameback's
- 43:10guitar tone is still one of my all time kind of favorite favorite tones.
- 43:15It's timeless isn't it. Yeah, I'm a teacher from my day job,
- 43:19and um, it's crazy because I can play a lot of heavy music,
- 43:22which I do in my class and the kids oftentimes hate it. But if
- 43:27I play a Pantera, they're like, this is actually pretty good, like
- 43:31love it. That's because they're the originators of really good heavy music. Yeah,
- 43:38that's awesome. The kids are gonna be all right exactly, something a
- 43:43little newer, because, like I said, I kind of grew up more
- 43:45on the metal side of things, didn't find we're hardcore until you know,
- 43:50early twenties or so i'd say. But um, the first power Trip record
- 43:53I think, not power Line Yeah yeah right, but yeah, like in
- 44:00the twenty fourteen something like that. And then the way they were able to
- 44:02bridge metal with like the energy of hardcore and everything and bringing that energy to
- 44:07their live shows. Uh yeah. I grew up going to metal shows and
- 44:09like, it's just it's not the same thing, you know at all,
- 44:12and so when I saw a band could do that, it was just really
- 44:15cool to me. So the fact that they're from Texas to uh, we're
- 44:20all, well we're mostly from Texas here, but um, yeah, just
- 44:23just awesome. Badass band r Peak Riley, But uh yeah, they'd probably
- 44:28be my my third one. Nice. Yeah. Number one for me would
- 44:34probably be Thursday Full Collapse. Oh you are a softy. I love this
- 44:39great growing up in those times when because I remember hearing one of their songs
- 44:45off of Victory Records compilation CD. Yeah at the you know um record store,
- 44:53you know, they hand them out for free, and uh, I
- 44:57remember which song, the Understanding, The Understanding in a Car Crash. Yeah,
- 45:04that was the song that was all that Sam Ablert and like how he
- 45:07was screaming and stuff like that was I was blown away by that because I
- 45:13was like more listening to bands like Strung Out and like Old Day of Five
- 45:21and like more like punk based stuff, you know. So that was like
- 45:25my introduction into like the scream o type stuff, you know. For sure.
- 45:30We interviewed their drummer a number of months ago and he was such a
- 45:34nice guy. I think, yeah, he's I saw so what because he
- 45:38plays drums for d Yeah. Yeah. Number two would definitely be Darkest Hour
- 45:46Undoing Ruin that album looking amazing. I've seen them so many times live.
- 45:52I'm originally from the East Coast More area, so Dave. You know,
- 45:59everybody you know comes through and plays like auto bar. I've just seen them
- 46:04so many times, just super high energy, and they're just a fun band
- 46:07to watch live. And I know that they just played the benefit show um
- 46:15out at um Slaws Furnace, so pretty start all. Now are they playing
- 46:21the actual festival now? I don't believe. I think it's just a benefit
- 46:25show. Yeah. I wish I lived in the area so I could have
- 46:30gone to that. Yeah yeah, Um and then number three is gonna be
- 46:37suicide Silence the cleansing that album. I've never heard anyone's scream like that because
- 46:45no one does, no one ever will again. Yeah, and then um,
- 46:49and just the drum sounds on that album too, like you've got a
- 46:52very specific snares sound, And that's kind of like almost what I aim for
- 47:00with uh with my snare that I play live. Everybody always has a comment
- 47:05about about that. When are you talking about like that? Is it a
- 47:08piccolo drum? I'm not exactly snare. I should say search on it,
- 47:15but my there, I keep it cranked up, super high, super tight.
- 47:19Yeah, fucking pierces everyone's ears. I feel bad for these guys at
- 47:22practice well, The reason I love that that snare sound most is because there's
- 47:30no drum machine out there. There's no drum program out there that really mimics
- 47:35it. And if there is, it doesn't mimic it. Well yeah,
- 47:37uh, And so you know that it's a real recording, you know that
- 47:43it's it's it's legit. Yep. It was much more common than nineties and
- 47:46stuff like that, and the fact that they were still doing it in the
- 47:50mid two thousands wasn't amazing. Yeah, you should check out a band called
- 47:54Psycho Frame. Psycho Frame, all right, and the drummer has um.
- 48:00I swear to god, it sounds like that album's drum set sick, very
- 48:07very cool, very cool. But yeah, Chase three for sure. Nice.
- 48:12You guys have an eclectic taste here, all the way from suicide sounds
- 48:15to Goofy movie soundtrack. I'd love it. That is, that is and
- 48:19you can definitely hear all of that in Soul Pelts. Yeah yeah, yeah.
- 48:27We did run a sample from it though, right in between songs and
- 48:30ours did the who is your favorite? Like who is your favorite? You
- 48:36have to do that at Furnace fact. Please appreciate it, Okay, we
- 48:39will. We will you've convinced us. I'll go catch a possum beforehand.
- 48:44There's there's not a there's not a lack of them in Alabama. I'll go
- 48:47find one. I'll bring it to the show. I've never stage dived to
- 48:51the Goofy movie, So that's that's my that's my time. Oh yeah,
- 48:54yeah, we'll do it perfect. Well, let's let's talk about whatever you
- 49:00guys want to want to plug. Obviously, new EP is coming out soon.
- 49:04I think this episode will come out before the release show, so we'll
- 49:07probably get it out before then, so you guys can talk a little bit
- 49:09about that. But yeah, anything else you guys want to plug. Maybe
- 49:14maybe there's a maybe there's a business you want to plug. Maybe there's a
- 49:16tattoo thing you want to plug. Maybe there's a bison virtue tattoo versa tattoo.
- 49:22Is that we say virtue? Bison virtue? Okay? All right,
- 49:27yeah, all right, Brook, what's what's your business's name? It's called
- 49:31Blush in Bangs. I actually named it when I went to college. There
- 49:36was a punk band there called Buzz and Bangs, and I totally ripped that
- 49:38off. All right, Sweet Blush and Bangs. Yep, Matt is yours
- 49:43called cyber and security. No, yeah, it's it's a cybersecurity business that
- 49:46I'm in that I work work home. Yeah. So if you if anyone
- 49:50out there is works into business and they want their day to be secure.
- 49:54Yeah, do you work for the FEDS? No, I can't. I
- 50:00can't speak on that. Yikes, that scares me. Um. Now you
- 50:05guys, you guys have a merch store, but there's nothing for sale on
- 50:08there anymore because it's all sold out, which makes sense because I mean,
- 50:12you guys are blowing it up. Is there possibility that we're going to have
- 50:15some more merch available at some point? Oh yeah, yeah, we're fine.
- 50:22New slow songs, thongs dang like like the Sandals or the Undergarment both.
- 50:34Luckily Clay Were is a tattooer and an artist, so he uh draws
- 50:37our merch. So that's cool. I love that. Yeah, in our
- 50:39back pocket, so that's that's very cool. Um yeah, yeah, they'll
- 50:45definitely be more merch. We definitely are. We're trying to think of a
- 50:49new design for like VPN for everything, so TV like the Goofy movie soundtrack
- 50:53album work might be a good inspiration. If you ask me. We have
- 50:59talked about it. We just made crop tops. You just dropped op.
- 51:04We did pink crop pop. Yeah, the feminine thing that we were talking
- 51:07about earlier. I'm like, I wear a lot of pink and I love
- 51:09a crop top, and so I was gonna say that's when you work out.
- 51:15Yeah, yeah, you can look up a crop top for sure.
- 51:16You know, like those like nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties football pennies. Oh
- 51:21yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of guys buying them matt Our
- 51:25show when we got them printed, what like a few weeks ago. Yep,
- 51:30yeah, yeah, Ye'll take that. Anything else you'd like to plug,
- 51:35um, no, just listen to so Hols live songs that we have,
- 51:38fucking check them out, jam them well. Yes that we can do
- 51:44well. You guys, thank you so much for hanging out talking about Slow
- 51:47Pulse. We're really really excited to see you guys at Furnace Fast. I'm

- 51:54you guys at some point, so we'll give you a big hug. We're
- 51:58just really really stoked for the show. We'll try to make it there.
- 52:00Uh So, I think I mean it's we will be just the shed.
- 52:04I think that's playing that day, right, probably, Yeah, yeah,
- 52:07so we'll we have no other excuse but to have the stage there, that's
- 52:10right. Yeah. I feel like I think they are doing like a full
- 52:14day. I don't think it's like just the shed anymore. Yeah. I
- 52:17think they added a lot more stuff, but like all the pretty much a
- 52:22lot of like the heavy stuff is still there and the ship from what I
- 52:24am, Okay, well we're probably where we're going to be anyway, so
- 52:29well, yeah, be there anyway. But yeah, well hopefully you guys

- 52:35be hanging out over there. Yeah I'll come over and play poorly. Thank
