- 0:33Speaker 1: we have U. We have a body of ours that we've.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Just met, but it feels like we've already known him
- 0:38Speaker 2: for years and years. I don't know how that this
- 0:40Speaker 2: is the case, but it's just the way it feels
- 0:42Speaker 2: right now, is a Nick.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel right now like I feel like I
- 0:46Speaker 3: should be from Long Island.
- 0:47Speaker 4: You know.
- 0:47Speaker 3: I know that I'm like very far away from a
- 0:49Speaker 3: Long Island, grew up very far away from Long Island.
- 0:52Speaker 3: But right now I'm like, God, I feel like I
- 0:54Speaker 3: just get the Long Island treatment. I feel I feel
- 0:56Speaker 3: like I should be drinking a Long Island night iced
- 0:59Speaker 3: tea and having a Cony Coney Island hot dog or whatever.
- 1:03Speaker 1: They came right.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Yeah, making sure that my last name ends with a
- 1:08Speaker 3: with a vowel and yeah, this is this is.
- 1:15Speaker 1: From from God's eyes. Everybody say Hello, Nick.
- 1:20Speaker 4: What's up? Guys? How you doing? Thanks for having me?
- 1:22Speaker 3: Hey, Nick? Do you happen to know is her name Angela?
- 1:26Speaker 3: I think it was Angela from the Jersey Shore. She
- 1:29Speaker 3: was from on Long Island. I think they called her
- 1:31Speaker 3: like the Long Island, like trash or something. I think
- 1:34Speaker 3: that's what like got her booted out of the Jersey shorehouse.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Do you happen to know Angela?
- 1:39Speaker 4: I don't know Angela personally, but I do.
- 1:41Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about, right, you know? Yeah?
- 1:45Speaker 3: But what's her name? Was from Long Island? I think
- 1:48Speaker 3: one of them was.
- 1:49Speaker 4: From Long Isle. I thought Snooky was from Angle.
- 1:52Speaker 3: I mean, Snooky could totally be from Long Island. Who knows,
- 1:55Speaker 3: let's look it up really quick. I'm pretty sure there
- 1:57Speaker 3: was Angela from Long Island. Who I'll be honest, I
- 2:00Speaker 3: thought she was the most attractive one on Jersey Shore.
- 2:02Speaker 3: But you know that's just me Angela.
- 2:04Speaker 4: The name Angela, yeah, yeah, there, shit is the one
- 2:09Speaker 4: that everyone like she's Oh.
- 2:10Speaker 3: She's from Stanton Island. No, no, that's what they call
- 2:14Speaker 3: her that Okay, sorry, sorry, I'm from the Midwest. I
- 2:18Speaker 3: mean that's an honest mistake.
- 2:19Speaker 4: The other island. Yes, that Staten Island's weird. I think
- 2:23Speaker 4: I've been there like three times and it's so close.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Oh geez, just just three times. Yeah, there's nothing, there's
- 2:30Speaker 1: nothing to do the.
- 2:31Speaker 4: Right not no, not really. There used to be like
- 2:34Speaker 4: they used to have shows and stuff there, but like
- 2:36Speaker 4: not not as long as i've been playing shows.
- 2:38Speaker 3: I will say that the cool thing about Long Island
- 2:40Speaker 3: because I'm I love geography stuff. It's cool like if
- 2:43Speaker 3: you go all the way at the end of the
- 2:45Speaker 3: Long Island, there's just like, uh, just like a white
- 2:48Speaker 3: house and it's kind of like a National park or whatever.
- 2:51Speaker 3: It's kind of or maybe not maybe whatever, but it's
- 2:54Speaker 3: just like if you go all the way at the end,
- 2:56Speaker 3: there's just like to me, New York, it's like it's skyscraper,
- 3:00Speaker 3: It's you know, it's Manhattan, and you just realize like,
- 3:03Speaker 3: oh wait, if you go out the very end of
- 3:05Speaker 3: Long Island, it's just a regular ass park that like
- 3:08Speaker 3: nobody lives near. I mean, it's just a tiny little
- 3:10Speaker 3: town down.
- 3:11Speaker 4: There, dude. There's there's horses in my backyard, like Long Island.
- 3:15Speaker 4: It's funny people that don't know Long Island, they think
- 3:17Speaker 4: because I'm from eastern Long Island, Suffolk County to be exactly, so,
- 3:22Speaker 4: I grew up in a town that's like if you
- 3:25Speaker 4: look at the end of Long Island, it forks two
- 3:27Speaker 4: different ways, and I was like, right in the cross
- 3:30Speaker 4: of them.
- 3:30Speaker 1: That's where everyone wants to know.
- 3:33Speaker 4: That's where you want to be. That's where you want
- 3:34Speaker 4: to be. So there's a hospital, you know, there's a Walmart,
- 3:37Speaker 4: you got everything you need.
- 3:39Speaker 3: But God, they're like the Watertown, South Dakota of New York.
- 3:43Speaker 4: No, dude. So like so like people, I'm like, oh,
- 3:46Speaker 4: we're from Long Island, New York. They think I can
- 3:48Speaker 4: see like, you know, the city from my backyard, but
- 3:51Speaker 4: like where I grew up, it was just like farmland
- 3:54Speaker 4: and like the beaches.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Probably closer to Ireland.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty much.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Yeah, you're like Sarah Palin, I can see Doublin from
- 4:04Speaker 3: my house.

- 6:38Speaker 3: Nicks on one tour in a band the size of
- 6:40Speaker 3: God's eyes, Like, how do you differentiate?
- 6:43Speaker 4: So I'm the Knicks, the Nick I was here first,
- 6:49Speaker 4: and then photographer Nicks usually Nick Nick oh, all right, Nicko,
- 6:53Speaker 4: and then other Nick is other Nick.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Oh. He should go by Nick Carter. That's what he
- 6:58Speaker 1: should do. He probably the better looking of everyone, right.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Is that the one that just died? Or is that a.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 7:10Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 7:11Speaker 3: Too many Nicks though, still too many.

- 7:19Speaker 3: So here's what I love about God's eyes, Nick is
- 7:23Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you you probably have
- 7:25Speaker 3: never listened to this podcast, but no I have, Oh
- 7:28Speaker 3: you have? Okay, So okay, if if you've listened to
- 7:31Speaker 3: more than two episodes, then you know this is about
- 7:34Speaker 3: to come up. So Colin and I's favorite band, like
- 7:37Speaker 3: as a friend group is The Chariot.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Right.
- 7:40Speaker 3: So we love chaos, right, We absolutely love like chaotic music.
- 7:45Speaker 3: It's something that you know, we just we you know,
- 7:48Speaker 3: bonded over really like I still remember. So Colin had
- 7:51Speaker 3: an S ten pickup truck. You're from Long Island, you
- 7:54Speaker 3: probably you're probably country enough to know what S ten
- 7:56Speaker 3: pickup trucks are like a little tiny, like one cab
- 7:59Speaker 3: little cup trucks could be. They could they could do
- 8:05Speaker 3: more than whatever the fucking uh Tesla cyber truck could
- 8:09Speaker 3: ever imagine doing.
- 8:11Speaker 4: Dude, that sucks. Hold on, can I tell you a
- 8:13Speaker 4: quick side story about that.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Let's hear it.
- 8:16Speaker 4: Oh okay, I'll tell you how much the Tesla truck
- 8:20Speaker 4: sucks and the people that drive. So where I live,
- 8:24Speaker 4: there's like no neighbors really like it's a neighborhood, but
- 8:29Speaker 4: when you get to my house, it's just like woods
- 8:31Speaker 4: for a bit, and then they're.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Said, you live by horses, Like those are your neighbors?
- 8:34Speaker 4: Yeah, no, my landlord.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Landlord's a horse, that's right.
- 8:42Speaker 3: That's right.
- 8:43Speaker 4: So there's like newer are tough, I guess newer big
- 8:48Speaker 4: nice houses behind sure, that's where like so they our
- 8:53Speaker 4: house is like the like trap house. Oh hell yeah,
- 8:57Speaker 4: because just because we have band practice here, so people
- 8:59Speaker 4: like ride by and they give us terrible, terrible looks.
- 9:02Speaker 4: It's it's hilarious and we're like so responsible and I
- 9:05Speaker 4: don't know, it's like, dude, people are just mean.
- 9:08Speaker 3: But it is.
- 9:09Speaker 1: It is Long Island. Do you guys kind of have
- 9:11Speaker 1: a reputation to be honest?
- 9:13Speaker 4: Oh? For sure? For sure. So the one guy's got
- 9:16Speaker 4: a cyber truck, right, I'm leaving for a wedding. What
- 9:21Speaker 4: you're saying, yes, So I'm trying to back out of
- 9:27Speaker 4: my driveway and the cyber truck is like slowly going
- 9:30Speaker 4: past my house like really, and I'm like, why is he?
- 9:33Speaker 4: I'm like, that's weird. Why is he's trying to slow?
- 9:34Speaker 4: And I'm running late for a wedding, So that's not
- 9:37Speaker 4: his fault, that's my fault. But I'm backing up and
- 9:40Speaker 4: now he's going and I'm behind him, and he's just
- 9:42Speaker 4: going like five miles an hour, and we do this
- 9:45Speaker 4: for like two whole steps, like through the neighborhood. So finally,
- 9:50Speaker 4: like I give him a little beat and he like
- 9:52Speaker 4: pulls to the side and he like sticks his head
- 9:55Speaker 4: and he's like, yeah, I know it's sick, right. No, no,
- 10:01Speaker 4: because I think his styper truck is cool, but really
- 10:03Speaker 4: I just think he's an asshole.
- 10:05Speaker 3: He's showing it off.
- 10:07Speaker 4: So I was like, I was honestly like stoked because
- 10:10Speaker 4: I was like, he just proved it.
- 10:15Speaker 3: I love when people fit their stereotypes right. Like it's
- 10:18Speaker 3: just like one of those things where it's like you
- 10:19Speaker 3: see that happen, You're like, oh my god, the stereotype
- 10:22Speaker 3: is fit. Like that's a time for celebration.
- 10:24Speaker 4: Dude, you know what I made his day and I
- 10:28Speaker 4: didn't even know, And like I just looked at my
- 10:31Speaker 4: wife and I was just like, it's true, Like they
- 10:34Speaker 4: are that is them.
- 10:35Speaker 3: He's taking the beep as like a cool truck guy,
- 10:39Speaker 3: like hell yeah, and You're like, I'm just trying to
- 10:42Speaker 3: get around you, dude.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Yeah, it is kind of wild. Novelty of those have
- 10:49Speaker 1: worn off.
- 10:52Speaker 4: Yeah, now, whenever that's what I'll always think when I
- 10:55Speaker 4: see them when I so sorry.
- 10:57Speaker 1: To like, but like you guys had no that is great.
- 11:01Speaker 3: Wow, I don't even know what I was about to say.
- 11:05Speaker 4: We're talking about we're talking about the chariot and why
- 11:09Speaker 4: you guys love the chair.
- 11:10Speaker 1: How are we going to yeah?
- 11:11Speaker 3: So, oh no, the S ten pickup truck. So well,
- 11:15Speaker 3: to kind of give you context of how much Colin
- 11:17Speaker 3: and I love the Chariot, So Collin's S ten pickup
- 11:19Speaker 3: truck had AM and FM only. There was there no
- 11:23Speaker 3: CD player, there was no tape cassette. Nothing. You had
- 11:27Speaker 3: AM or only AM, so there was no F only AM.
- 11:32Speaker 3: I'm giving, I'm given, I'm giving.
- 11:34Speaker 1: I had to listen to a lot of Dave Ramsey
- 11:36Speaker 1: and Glenn Beck.
- 11:37Speaker 4: In that truck. And where where where exactly?
- 11:40Speaker 1: We're both from.
- 11:41Speaker 3: South Dakota Watertown, South Dakota. Okay, yeah, so exactly, And
- 11:46Speaker 3: that's reacts the vast majority of the world, doesn't.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I love this.
- 11:49Speaker 3: This is there's maybe twenty thousand people in the world
- 11:52Speaker 3: that know where South Watertown, South Dakota is.
- 11:55Speaker 4: So that's awesome.
- 11:56Speaker 3: You're one of You're one of the non twenty thousand
- 11:59Speaker 3: pe So Collin's S ten pickup truck had AM radio,
- 12:04Speaker 3: that's it. So in order to listen to the Chariot,
- 12:07Speaker 3: Culin put a little like boombox, like you know, a
- 12:11Speaker 3: late two thousand's Walmart boombox. In In like stapled that
- 12:16Speaker 3: down or like tape that down in the middle of
- 12:18Speaker 3: the truck, and we would put in Chariot CDs listening
- 12:22Speaker 3: to this damn boom box. And that's how we first
- 12:25Speaker 3: heard the Chariot. So my experience of the Chariot, my
- 12:29Speaker 3: first at least my first experience of the Chariot was
- 12:32Speaker 3: through a damn boombox and an S ten pickup truck
- 12:35Speaker 3: hanging out with Culin. So when I tell you like
- 12:38Speaker 3: we love like the very like loafi chaotic shit, that
- 12:43Speaker 3: is how we like became friends is how much we
- 12:46Speaker 3: love that kind of stuff. So that to me is
- 12:48Speaker 3: like the Chariot. And obviously you guys are way well
- 12:52Speaker 3: way more produced than a S ten pickup truck boombox
- 12:55Speaker 3: turn their setup, but but I absolutely love like that chaots,
- 13:00Speaker 3: that hardcore kind of like anything that's going to even
- 13:02Speaker 3: remotely resemble that is going to be like automatically some
- 13:06Speaker 3: of my favorite music because of how much. It just
- 13:08Speaker 3: brings me back to that experience hanging out with Colin,
- 13:11Speaker 3: driving through country roads, chatting about life and listening to
- 13:14Speaker 3: that kind of music.
- 13:16Speaker 4: I feel like the Chariot recorded their records like with
- 13:20Speaker 4: you guys in mind, with the way you described it, because.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Like all three of us, all three of us, that's it.
- 13:27Speaker 4: Yeah, because they're not sonically like the best signs that
- 13:29Speaker 4: are like yo, it doesn't matter like these dudes are
- 13:32Speaker 4: going to listen to it in a new box in
- 13:33Speaker 4: a pickup truck on AM radio like it. It doesn't
- 13:37Speaker 4: need to sound that good, like the first check, So
- 13:40Speaker 4: the first Chariot that everything's alive, everything's being record. That's
- 13:43Speaker 4: like one of my favorite records.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Made without any computer like digitization or whatever.
- 13:50Speaker 4: Yeah, it sound, it sounds terrible, but that's why it's
- 13:52Speaker 4: awesome like that, like the Raw, Like dude, it is
- 13:56Speaker 4: the most heavy sounding I.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Think it's I do think it's funny that we have
- 14:01Speaker 2: not talked to you about the Chariot before this, and
- 14:04Speaker 2: you just took it as a given, like yeah, I'm
- 14:06Speaker 2: a Chariot fan, Like we can we can just pick
- 14:08Speaker 2: up on that.
- 14:09Speaker 5: You know.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, the chariot Is is one of the most
- 14:13Speaker 4: important bands to our band collectively too, Like that's a
- 14:17Speaker 4: band we all agree on that, and that's a band
- 14:19Speaker 4: that we're all like yeah, like anytime we're at a
- 14:22Speaker 4: show and we're like, what's the vibe and we're just
- 14:25Speaker 4: like yeah, like that, like like somebody has to be
- 14:29Speaker 4: like like we don't like they had like this freedom
- 14:32Speaker 4: thing on the stage, and like somebody has to be
- 14:35Speaker 4: that guy.
- 14:35Speaker 1: That's true.
- 14:36Speaker 3: That's what I mean.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Are are you?
- 14:38Speaker 3: Are you all that guy live?
- 14:42Speaker 4: I mean we try to be We're not as cool.
- 14:44Speaker 2: I've seen I've seen pictures of of some of your shows.
- 14:48Speaker 2: It looks pretty free. It looks quite quite liberated we have.
- 14:53Speaker 4: We definitely like we look at it like we're willing
- 14:56Speaker 4: to sacrifice some tightenness to have a good time. Yeah,
- 14:59Speaker 4: Like that's that's really Like It's like our tone is
- 15:02Speaker 4: pretty good because like Brett, our guitar player, he's like.
- 15:05Speaker 1: A tone, especially if you listen to God's through some
- 15:10Speaker 1: good cans Man.
- 15:12Speaker 4: Yeah, that's cool.
- 15:13Speaker 3: I'm glad and that that's where like I think really
- 15:16Speaker 3: good bands can separate themselves as you know, I obviously
- 15:19Speaker 3: like Skogan was just such like an interesting songwriter, and
- 15:21Speaker 3: I think that's what separated them from just being like
- 15:23Speaker 3: strictly like chaotic to like, oh like, there's actually some
- 15:26Speaker 3: really interesting stuff going on here. But like a band
- 15:29Speaker 3: like Converge, right like, Kirk Blue is a tone guy.
- 15:32Speaker 3: I mean, he makes his own guitar pedals, and he's
- 15:34Speaker 3: a producer, right like, he has mastered like tone and
- 15:38Speaker 3: that year for that kind of music of really heavy,
- 15:41Speaker 3: chaotic hardcore. And that's where I think like Converge has
- 15:44Speaker 3: been able to like separate themselves in that world is
- 15:47Speaker 3: the fact that they aren't just like it's not purely chaos.
- 15:50Speaker 3: There is like a tone, There is some sort of
- 15:52Speaker 3: refinement around their sound in the midst of that chaos.
- 15:56Speaker 3: And so I think that's where bands like Wars are
- 16:00Speaker 3: really benefited is when you have somebody that really is
- 16:03Speaker 3: under like understanding of the songwriting or the refinement of
- 16:07Speaker 3: the sound that can just like elevate it in another
- 16:10Speaker 3: way that makes it like, oh wow, this is this
- 16:13Speaker 3: is not just like simply pure chaos and avant garde.
- 16:16Speaker 3: This is something that is like there's an actual song here,
- 16:19Speaker 3: there's an actual tone here that separates it from everything else,
- 16:22Speaker 3: and that's why I think you guys do really really well.
- 16:25Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, that's cool. Well that that that also like
- 16:29Speaker 4: kind of makes sense because it converges like our guitar
- 16:32Speaker 4: player's favorite band, so he's always like his one of
- 16:35Speaker 4: his things is like if the record sounds almost as
- 16:38Speaker 4: good as a Converge record, And I'm kind of just like, yo,
- 16:42Speaker 4: we should just feedback this whole time. It's like like

- 20:06Speaker 3: Song, honestly, like a band like under Oath and those
- 20:08Speaker 3: kind of x c d s would have been like
- 20:11Speaker 3: probably the most alternative band on those. The rest of
- 20:15Speaker 3: them would have been like Cutlass.
- 20:17Speaker 1: All right, here it is.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Here's the track listing. Savior by Skilling, Treason by Cutlass.

- 23:13Speaker 3: Whoa liquor records Day of Fire. Wow, that's a that
- 23:18Speaker 3: might have been the most popular I ever got. Was
- 23:20Speaker 3: they were on an X house.
- 23:21Speaker 1: They were They were legitimately a great band.
- 23:26Speaker 3: They were like very much like a hard rock band,
- 23:28Speaker 3: kind of Pillar vein, maybe a little less.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Alternate, less least dad rocky and more just like good
- 23:35Speaker 2: just they seem like your local, your local band that
- 23:38Speaker 2: wrote really good songs but never made it big. But
- 23:40Speaker 2: they were kind of like in like the Christian circuit,
- 23:42Speaker 2: so they kind of were big. It's a weird thing
- 23:45Speaker 2: to kind.
- 23:45Speaker 4: Of explain, you know what I mean? Okay, I was
- 23:48Speaker 4: just like I was just hitting Sorry.
- 23:52Speaker 2: That was a fun little That was a fun little
- 23:53Speaker 2: journey that we have. We might have to do something
- 23:55Speaker 2: about that, Mason. That might have to be one of
- 23:57Speaker 2: our next draft.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Yeah, we should totally do a whole thing on like
- 24:00Speaker 3: X albums revisiting or.
- 24:01Speaker 4: Something I wonder how far they went because O five
- 24:05Speaker 4: is as far as I go.
- 24:05Speaker 1: I want to look it up.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know when the last accident.
- 24:09Speaker 4: When did they stop, and when we're banned?
- 24:10Speaker 3: So my my, uh my, uh?
- 24:13Speaker 5: What is it?
- 24:14Speaker 3: Over under? My over under is twenty twelve?
- 24:19Speaker 1: Did you look it up already? Mason?
- 24:21Speaker 3: No, but I'm just my my. The random guess just
- 24:25Speaker 3: based on what I know about that world is two thousand.
- 24:27Speaker 3: I think it's my overrun.
- 24:28Speaker 4: Well that was when that was when like Christian Evy
- 24:30Speaker 4: music was, bands were.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Like, I think it is twenty twelve. Guess how much
- 24:34Speaker 1: it costs to be able to buy the twenty twelve
- 24:37Speaker 1: Christian rock X hits twenty dollars.
- 24:46Speaker 3: Twenty dollars, so they doubled the price?
- 24:48Speaker 4: Wow, dude, I got I got mine for like like
- 24:54Speaker 4: ten bucks.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Yeah that sounds dude.
- 24:56Speaker 3: You could double you could double your profit.
- 24:59Speaker 1: There, Mason nailed the Uh you nailed.
- 25:02Speaker 4: I might be able to do. I don't know if
- 25:04Speaker 4: I have it. I probably don't have it.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Twenty twelve was the last year you can find.
- 25:07Speaker 1: It was the last year I could find. Yeah, there
- 25:09Speaker 1: might be more, but wow, you're good.
- 25:11Speaker 4: Did you didn't look that up.
- 25:12Speaker 3: You just I literally totally I think I'm looking at
- 25:16Speaker 3: you right, I swear to God, I I just figured
- 25:20Speaker 3: that because to me, like that whole world, like you know,
- 25:23Speaker 3: especially that alternative stuff, that whole world ended right when
- 25:27Speaker 3: like streaming was starting to become a thing. So like
- 25:29Speaker 3: twenty twelve feels like a good year to just like
- 25:32Speaker 3: you're saying the bubbles, you're saying, yeah, it's just a
- 25:36Speaker 3: good bubble burst year.
- 25:37Speaker 4: I feel like they didn't have any band.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all the festivals were going down the tubes.
- 25:43Speaker 5: So yeah, rev Jen was over, Cornerstone done, Sunshine gone
- 25:51Speaker 5: gone out, life light see that.
- 25:54Speaker 3: I mean, actually the festivals are a really great indication
- 25:56Speaker 3: of where that world was because all those festivals, like
- 25:59Speaker 3: Sunshine was thirteen was last year, Cornerstone ended twenty twelve,
- 26:05Speaker 3: twenty thirteen, like all those festivals ended right around that year.
- 26:09Speaker 3: So that's yep.
- 26:10Speaker 4: I don't know that one.
- 26:11Speaker 3: I was, well, lifelike is still kind of a thing,
- 26:14Speaker 3: but like nowhere near what it was.
- 26:15Speaker 1: It just came back.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Was I matter?
- 26:19Speaker 1: Was I matter?
- 26:20Speaker 5: I bet?
- 26:20Speaker 1: So that sounds like a very Christian let me look
- 26:24Speaker 1: it up.
- 26:25Speaker 3: That must spend one of those Long Island ones on Cony.
- 26:29Speaker 4: And there are no Christian festival.
- 26:31Speaker 1: It's in el my Raun Wait, am I am?
- 26:33Speaker 3: I messing? This is Coney Like is the Coney hot Dog?
- 26:37Speaker 3: Is that on Long Island? Am? I?
- 26:38Speaker 4: No, that's Coney Island.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Coney Island is a separate thing from Long Island. How
- 26:45Speaker 3: many fucking islands are around New.
- 26:47Speaker 4: York and Island Coney Island? And then there's Fire Island.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Yo, I don't think I like f y r e No, no, no, no,
- 26:59Speaker 3: I didn't know if that guy made an entirely new island.
- 27:04Speaker 4: And then there's the island where like Limes disease you know,
- 27:08Speaker 4: came about, right?
- 27:09Speaker 3: Is that Lime Island? What is that called?
- 27:15Speaker 2: I don't think that, I matterifest is Christian knocked loose?
- 27:19Speaker 2: Knocked loose plot? And you but Red Red was was
- 27:24Speaker 2: on the headline of twenty.
- 27:26Speaker 3: One Colin You'd be shocked how many Red fans?
- 27:29Speaker 1: No, I know, but that is kind of funny.
- 27:31Speaker 4: I never liked Red. I was like, your Red is.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Just like the worst version of Lincoln Park. Yeah.
- 27:37Speaker 3: Not anyways, They're like a worst version of Skillet, dude.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean they were intentionally going after like
- 27:45Speaker 2: the Lincoln Park sound.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Though.
- 27:48Speaker 3: They never wrapped like Lincoln Park.
- 27:51Speaker 2: No, but they had a lot of those like kind
- 27:53Speaker 2: of like in like scratchies and industrial music, kind.

- 29:43Speaker 4: to be good before I say like, hey, look, you
- 29:46Speaker 4: know what I mean. So I couldn't get it to

- 33:08Speaker 4: itself like you don't have to you just put the
- 33:10Speaker 4: logo on it. You're like, oh, it's.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Exactly what should mean. It's weird how that works.
- 33:16Speaker 4: So it's like, send it because I want to see,
- 33:18Speaker 4: but send it because we also need some.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Let's make it. Yeah, I was gonna say your guys,
- 33:23Speaker 1: merch merchan side is all is all drained.
- 33:28Speaker 4: Its strained, and I'm gonna be throwing some stuff up
- 33:31Speaker 4: there soon.
- 33:32Speaker 2: We have a little bit that happens, we'll send it
- 33:35Speaker 2: out to our crew here. So yeah, cool, So new
- 33:39Speaker 2: music EP. How many songs?
- 33:41Speaker 1: Five? Six? Just three? All right?
- 33:44Speaker 4: Hell yeah, dude, quick quick, quick ripper in and out something.
- 33:49Speaker 4: We we wanted to put something out for the new year.
- 33:52Speaker 4: That's that's gonna be coming out. And you're like, oh,
- 33:54Speaker 4: like we're not. You know, we have songs for a record.
- 33:57Speaker 4: We're working on a record right now. But we wanted
- 34:00Speaker 4: to do something and I feel like we were like,
- 34:02Speaker 4: let's just do three songs that were like released. So
- 34:06Speaker 4: we did that and I can't wait to put it awesome.
- 34:10Speaker 2: With the changes in the U in the record label
- 34:14Speaker 2: and everything, what goes on now? Like a, are you
- 34:19Speaker 2: releasing it independently or how how is this all going
- 34:22Speaker 2: to go down?
- 34:24Speaker 4: We don't I'm not really sure yet. It's so recent
- 34:28Speaker 4: like we right before, like it was just a few
- 34:31Speaker 4: weeks ago we found out the label was done and
- 34:34Speaker 4: we were like it We're still unsure of what's going
- 34:38Speaker 4: on with that. We're still waiting on some answers, so
- 34:41Speaker 4: it could be a self released, it could be released
- 34:42Speaker 4: with somebody else. We're not really sure yet, but we are.
- 34:44Speaker 4: We are talking to a few people.
- 34:46Speaker 2: So good deal, good deal people that are some groups
- 34:49Speaker 2: that are going to be around for longer than a
- 34:51Speaker 2: few years though hopefully.
- 34:55Speaker 4: Hopefully hopefully definitely like people that have put up stuff
- 35:00Speaker 4: that we were that we've been listening through for years,
- 35:03Speaker 4: so it was some cool stuff. And some also like
- 35:06Speaker 4: friends that are down to like helpless out So it'll
- 35:09Speaker 4: be out with somebody for sure. It's just what whatever
- 35:11Speaker 4: makes the most sense for sure.
- 35:13Speaker 3: Sure my vote is on Death Wish records. I mean
- 35:17Speaker 3: the nuclear but.
- 35:18Speaker 4: That's not one of the ones I was talking about,
- 35:20Speaker 4: but like I would love that. We don't know anybody
- 35:24Speaker 4: at death Wish.
- 35:25Speaker 2: How about how about that nuclear blast? I like, I
- 35:29Speaker 2: like a lot of the stuff that they've been you know,
- 35:31Speaker 2: pedaling these days.
- 35:33Speaker 1: What what have they what have they done? Let me
- 35:36Speaker 1: get you a good list.
- 35:39Speaker 3: I'm like one of those people where, you know, like
- 35:42Speaker 3: back in the day when I was a kid, anything
- 35:44Speaker 3: that Tooth and Nail or Solid State would release right
- 35:46Speaker 3: like it just became my favorite thing ever. I feel
- 35:49Speaker 3: like I'm a kid in that way with Death Wish
- 35:52Speaker 3: right now, everything that Death Wish puts out, does it
- 35:55Speaker 3: matter if it's more of like a hardcore band or
- 35:58Speaker 3: an indie band or whatever they do like it just
- 36:00Speaker 3: everything is a banger after banger after banger, Like Jacob
- 36:03Speaker 3: Bannon and his team are just they have an ear
- 36:05Speaker 3: for exactly what I love.
- 36:07Speaker 4: I don't think they've ever put out really like a
- 36:09Speaker 4: bad band ever ever, I think, uh and there their
- 36:16Speaker 4: current bands. Are you guys in a frail body at all?
- 36:18Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 36:19Speaker 4: Oh yeah, dude. So and they just did that new
- 36:23Speaker 4: State Falls record too. Have you guys heard that?
- 36:25Speaker 1: Oh, I've not heard them.
- 36:26Speaker 3: Don't give anything away right now, but we're gonna do
- 36:29Speaker 3: an album of Albums of the Year thing at the
- 36:31Speaker 3: end of the year, and we just we just play
- 36:33Speaker 3: with them. Keep it on the down low right.
- 36:34Speaker 4: Now, dude. We just play with them. And they are
- 36:37Speaker 4: so good and the new songs live were incredible.
- 36:40Speaker 3: Unbelievable band. Yeah, like Loma Prida last year, I think
- 36:44Speaker 3: it was last year Loma Prida had that new album
- 36:46Speaker 3: that was one of my top uh you know, the
- 36:49Speaker 3: like Gouageway has been one of my favorite bands for
- 36:51Speaker 3: the last number of years now, Like I mean, just
- 36:53Speaker 3: everything that they put out is banger after banger after banger.
- 36:57Speaker 4: We could probably start about Death Wish for the rest
- 36:59Speaker 4: of this time because as you're like, you're named off, like,
- 37:02Speaker 4: but I'm.
- 37:02Speaker 3: Saying, like you guys like that right, Like the thing
- 37:07Speaker 3: with the yeah, exactly right, Like that's the thing with
- 37:09Speaker 3: death Wish is like Jacob and that whole team, Like
- 37:11Speaker 3: they're not just wanting like chug a chug a hardcore stuff,
- 37:14Speaker 3: like they want something that's like creative artsy and you
- 37:17Speaker 3: guys just like Nail that I think perfectly thanks dude.
- 37:20Speaker 4: I mean I think Deathlish would be a great fit.
- 37:23Speaker 4: I love that label, and they've you know, can constantly
- 37:28Speaker 4: put out the best music ever, the best.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Jacob's only what a couple hours away. He's like, what Massachusetts,
- 37:35Speaker 3: I know I should just stop buying like as well,
- 37:38Speaker 3: just like, hey, I've got a good band.
- 37:40Speaker 4: And my band's good, I promise. And then when he's like, yeah,
- 37:45Speaker 4: I'm not really feeling like no, it's good.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Just believe me. I'm gonna lock you in my basement.
- 37:54Speaker 4: Yeah, death Wish is the best. That would be definitely
- 37:57Speaker 4: like a my whole band and I be very stopped
- 38:00Speaker 4: on there.
- 38:02Speaker 3: So nick a band that you're like, I mean, obviously again,
- 38:06Speaker 3: like we've talked about the Chariot, like there's obviously like
- 38:09Speaker 3: that kind of chaotic nature, but they're obviously like the
- 38:12Speaker 3: Chariot was. I don't know how to really describe it,
- 38:14Speaker 3: but there was kind of this instrumentation that was maybe
- 38:18Speaker 3: to me closer to like punk hardcore than just like
- 38:21Speaker 3: the kind of chug a chuga like metalcore hardcore stuff.
- 38:26Speaker 3: You guys kind of like fit that like you you
- 38:28Speaker 3: kind of have this like really like maybe it's literally
- 38:32Speaker 3: just like you tune your guitars really lower or whatever,
- 38:35Speaker 3: but like there's just this kind of like even more
- 38:39Speaker 3: heavy element to your music than even the Chariot was
- 38:41Speaker 3: at And again, obviously as much as we love the Chariot,
- 38:45Speaker 3: I do think there is like obviously definitely a different sound.
- 38:48Speaker 3: The sound that to me, the closest I've heard to
- 38:52Speaker 3: any other band that reminds me of you guys. And
- 38:56Speaker 3: it's probably a band that's even like lesser known. And
- 38:58Speaker 3: I was mentioning this to Colin Earl. There is a
- 39:01Speaker 3: band I think they were maybe were they from Sweden. Culin.
- 39:04Speaker 1: I think so.
- 39:06Speaker 3: There was a band called Grieved. I think they were
- 39:09Speaker 3: from Sweden. I don't know if you're familiar with them
- 39:11Speaker 3: at all, Nick, That to me is like the closest
- 39:14Speaker 3: I've ever heard to like that like really love really
- 39:17Speaker 3: low level in terms of like kind of really basy,
- 39:22Speaker 3: heavy sounding chaotic stuff. That to me is like the
- 39:26Speaker 3: closest I've heard, uh since listening to you guys and
- 39:30Speaker 3: and Grieved. I don't think they're a band anymore. They
- 39:32Speaker 3: weren't ever really big, and they were maybe bigger in Europe. Yeah,
- 39:35Speaker 3: And I don't remember how Culin even like I just
- 39:37Speaker 3: can't you like found out randomly one time and sent
- 39:41Speaker 3: them to me. But like that's a band to me,
- 39:43Speaker 3: that's like the closest I've heard to that sound. So
- 39:46Speaker 3: to me, there's like a really unique kind of sound
- 39:49Speaker 3: that's going on here where it's just like really chaotic stuff,
- 39:52Speaker 3: but also like it's it's definitely way heavier than something
- 39:55Speaker 3: you'd hear from like the Chariot for example.
- 39:57Speaker 4: Yeah, to send you that, Yeah.
- 40:00Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's like this chaotic stuff but also way
- 40:04Speaker 3: heavier on the low end of just in terms of
- 40:06Speaker 3: the production uh that you wouldn't have gotten from a
- 40:09Speaker 3: band like The Chariot.
- 40:12Speaker 4: I think I think it's because we've I mean naturally,
- 40:16Speaker 4: when you have five people like all jamming their ideas together,
- 40:20Speaker 4: there's going to be so much you know, there's like
- 40:24Speaker 4: that positive clashing kind of thing. So I think like
- 40:28Speaker 4: because we as a group obviously like we pull from
- 40:31Speaker 4: the Chariot, we pull lot. I don't know if you
- 40:32Speaker 4: guys like Botch and co oh yeah yeah, so we
- 40:36Speaker 4: we also like we pull pretty hard from it and
- 40:38Speaker 4: obviously converge like those three are big ones. But like
- 40:41Speaker 4: we also we love like a beef for purging mh
- 40:46Speaker 4: and stuff.
- 40:46Speaker 3: How are we not best friends? How are we not
- 40:49Speaker 3: best friends?
- 40:49Speaker 4: Nick so a lot of that, Like Flavio are se
- 40:53Speaker 4: guitar player. He especially in the new stuff, he throws
- 40:56Speaker 4: a lot of those, and like it's a total like
- 41:01Speaker 4: he's peas PE's told me he's pulling that from like
- 41:03Speaker 4: Lea for Burden. He's like straight up, like you.
- 41:06Speaker 1: Know what I love about it?
- 41:07Speaker 2: It almost feels like like when you're driving, if you're
- 41:09Speaker 2: driving like a manual car or like out on the
- 41:12Speaker 2: far my drive tractors here, right, I have like this feeling.
- 41:15Speaker 2: It's like it's like, all of a sudden, there's a
- 41:18Speaker 2: point in every single one of your songs, and this
- 41:22Speaker 2: is this is something that shared with Plea, something that
- 41:24Speaker 2: shared sometimes with the Chariot Norma. Jean has this every
- 41:28Speaker 2: once in a while, but almost feels like there's this
- 41:30Speaker 2: one note and there's like a there's like a just
- 41:33Speaker 2: a minor pause, and then all of a sudden, it
- 41:35Speaker 2: kicks into like this whole nother gear, like it's a
- 41:37Speaker 2: completely different song. And that is the addictive quality, in
- 41:41Speaker 2: my opinion, the addictive quality of the music that just
- 41:45Speaker 2: draws me in, keeps me wanting more, keeps me interested,
- 41:49Speaker 2: you know, because there's a lot of hardcore bands, right,
- 41:51Speaker 2: lots and lots of lots of hardcore bands out there,
- 41:53Speaker 2: but a lot of them don't keep me interested because
- 41:57Speaker 2: they don't get super dynamic with their sound. They don't
- 41:59Speaker 2: get super dynamic with their stops and starts and uh
- 42:03Speaker 2: and how they want to push and pull.
- 42:05Speaker 1: I think so too. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Too many are.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Focused on the energy of the song and not so
- 42:11Speaker 2: much on like actually making it sound decent but not
- 42:15Speaker 2: but not overproduced at the same time, which is, you know,
- 42:17Speaker 2: it's a fine line to tread, but I think God's
- 42:19Speaker 2: Eyes is a perfect example of a group that's doing
- 42:21Speaker 2: it right now.
- 42:24Speaker 4: Well, thanks that, that's cool. It's cool here is.
- 42:27Speaker 1: It hard to take compliments?
- 42:28Speaker 4: Yeah, we're yes. Uh no, it's cool, We're yeah. It's
- 42:38Speaker 4: it's cool that to hear you guys say something like that,
- 42:40Speaker 4: because like we pull, we pull from like you know,
- 42:42Speaker 4: the obvious bands like if someone's to go your mimmy
- 42:44Speaker 4: normal gene, it's like, well, yeah, of course, but like
- 42:47Speaker 4: there's like the weird ones where I think coalesced or
- 42:50Speaker 4: like Fear before the March of Flames, like those are
- 42:52Speaker 4: like bands that are like I guess more of audum
- 42:56Speaker 4: like weird bands like that. I think kind of like
- 42:59Speaker 4: starts to trickle in a little bit more. So, it's cool.
- 43:02Speaker 4: It's cool just to hear you guys picking stuff out,
- 43:04Speaker 4: because I think that's that's.
- 43:05Speaker 2: You get totally feel that. Now that being said, we
- 43:08Speaker 2: haven't talked about your vocals yet.
- 43:11Speaker 1: Uh so, like did you just fart?
- 43:15Speaker 5: No?
- 43:15Speaker 2: I was just like because the way that you were
- 43:19Speaker 2: like pulled back from the mic and then you lifted
- 43:21Speaker 2: up your leg I was like Damn, he really did
- 43:23Speaker 2: his fart.
- 43:24Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 43:25Speaker 4: Uh, just just put off parts like editing in so
- 43:30Speaker 4: when I go like this, but just make it like close.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Okay.
- 43:33Speaker 2: You want to know the funniest thing. I have a
- 43:35Speaker 2: two year old and uh the other day, I uh,
- 43:39Speaker 2: I was trying to get him to cheer up a
- 43:41Speaker 2: little bit because he was being bitchy after coming home
- 43:44Speaker 2: from daycare, and uh.
- 43:47Speaker 1: So I said hey, Google, and the Google.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Home turns on and says, yes, I said, fart here,
- 43:53Speaker 2: it's a fart. And he thought it was the greatest
- 43:58Speaker 2: thing in the world. And now guess what he does
- 44:01Speaker 2: all the time? Hey Google fart, Hey Google fart, Hey
- 44:04Speaker 2: Google fart.
- 44:06Speaker 1: You you you just I unleashed the beast.
- 44:10Speaker 3: You got to think ahead of a two year old.
- 44:12Speaker 1: No, I didn't think that he was gonna be able
- 44:13Speaker 1: to act.
- 44:14Speaker 4: Yeah you did this.
- 44:16Speaker 1: I didn't think you would actually.
- 44:16Speaker 2: Be able to talk to the Google after just a
- 44:18Speaker 2: couple of times of like saying hey, fart to Google.
- 44:23Speaker 1: But he you figured it out.
- 44:27Speaker 3: Generation that is basically a I like, it's not even Also,
- 44:32Speaker 3: like you just got to realize that taking them to
- 44:36Speaker 3: say hey, Google fart, like that's just gonna like come.
- 44:39Speaker 3: That's he's going to learn that faster in terms of
- 44:42Speaker 3: than any other way of learning.
- 44:44Speaker 1: How that's probably right, right.
- 44:46Speaker 2: He's also he's also obsessed with this one donkey song
- 44:49Speaker 2: from a book, and now he's trying to get the
- 44:51Speaker 2: Google to sing that song to him too. It's it's hilarious.
- 44:55Speaker 2: He has not succeeded in that one yet, but someday
- 44:59Speaker 2: he will. I'm sure, Hey, Google, paycheck right, it'll happen.
- 45:04Speaker 2: It'll happen.
- 45:05Speaker 4: That's the next, that's the next, next.
- 45:07Speaker 2: And by that time, though, Google is gonna be like,
- 45:09Speaker 2: that's too old from our archives. The Jesus, Yeah, that's
- 45:15Speaker 2: probably what would play.
- 45:17Speaker 1: I hate that song.
- 45:20Speaker 2: What were we talking about a moment just before his
- 45:23Speaker 2: vocal Yeah, okay, what what where do you get your
- 45:28Speaker 2: vocal influence from? Because it is the one piece that
- 45:31Speaker 2: I feel does not necessarily match a lot of the
- 45:34Speaker 2: influences that you've talked about so far, or maybe it
- 45:37Speaker 2: does just in a different way that I'm not picking
- 45:39Speaker 2: up on.
- 45:41Speaker 4: Well, definitely, like here we go back to the chariot
- 45:45Speaker 4: Josh lyrically and just like his cadence and everything everything
- 45:51Speaker 4: about it, it is but Uh, he's obviously like a
- 45:56Speaker 4: huge influence on what I do. Dave from Botch is
- 45:59Speaker 4: also another one. Like those two guys, Like when we
- 46:01Speaker 4: started God's Eyes, those were the two guys where I
- 46:03Speaker 4: was like, oh, if I could sound like anybody, those
- 46:05Speaker 4: are the guys I want to sound like. I don't,
- 46:07Speaker 4: but that's where I was like aiming for. I also love, uh,
- 46:13Speaker 4: what's his face from Advent Joe.
- 46:16Speaker 1: That's good. That's good.
- 46:18Speaker 4: Nobody talks about his voice enough, I feel like, and
- 46:20Speaker 4: he has like the most pissed off like that That
- 46:23Speaker 4: Naked and Cold record is the most pissed off thing ever,
- 46:26Speaker 4: so angry.
- 46:29Speaker 3: I mean, it is one of my favorites ever. Like that,
- 46:31Speaker 3: that album failure on is just absolutely nuts.
- 46:35Speaker 4: Incredible, amazing, amazing. So yeah, I would say those three
- 46:39Speaker 4: like when I think about God's Eyes and like people that, like,
- 46:43Speaker 4: those three guys made me feel a way And if
- 46:45Speaker 4: I make someone feel that way too, I guess that's
- 46:48Speaker 4: like something that and like do Jake Bannon of course, Yeah, yeah,
- 46:53Speaker 4: those are like that's cool.
- 46:54Speaker 2: I love that and I love that it becomes your
- 46:56Speaker 2: own thing right by pulling from everybody else.
- 46:59Speaker 1: You know, they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
- 47:04Speaker 4: My brother too. I do got to throw my brother
- 47:06Speaker 4: in there, because he's he's been a vocalist forever. He
- 47:08Speaker 4: sings in a band called Thought Crimes.
- 47:10Speaker 1: And that's a crazy fuck Yeah, dude, dude.
- 47:15Speaker 4: They're awesome. Check them out and yo, check them out.
- 47:18Speaker 4: They're sick. But he's been doing vocals. We're ten years apart.
- 47:22Speaker 4: I'm thirty, he's forty, and we I wouldn't be into
- 47:25Speaker 4: like any of this if it wasn't for him, so
- 47:27Speaker 4: and I've been looking up to him vocally for like
- 47:29Speaker 4: a really long time. He's he's great.
- 47:30Speaker 1: So he's sick, dude, I love that. That's that's super
- 47:34Speaker 1: cool that you bring your brother into that as well.
- 47:38Speaker 4: Dude, I wouldn't. I wouldn't be talking to you guys
- 47:40Speaker 4: with that. Love it straight.
- 47:41Speaker 1: That's super sweet, super super sweet.
- 47:44Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the nicest thing I've ever heard from a
- 47:46Speaker 3: younger brother.
- 47:48Speaker 4: I love my brother. He's a big dumb idiot.
- 47:52Speaker 3: Okay, now, now this is the part of the brothers
- 47:54Speaker 3: I love.
- 47:55Speaker 4: He's a big dumb dumb he can't remember shit, but
- 47:58Speaker 4: but I love him, and he gave me blessed changed
- 48:03Speaker 4: my life.
- 48:04Speaker 1: I can I can imagine. Did Hey?
- 48:05Speaker 2: Speaking of that, it's the time in the show where
- 48:10Speaker 2: we talk about your most influential albums.
- 48:14Speaker 1: There's one, all right, so number five is.
- 48:19Speaker 4: So in no particular order, Yeah, no particular order, right,
- 48:23Speaker 4: So Blessed mart Custa Child has to be on there
- 48:25Speaker 4: like that? That was like I was, I was listening
- 48:28Speaker 4: to like pod Loved, but like that was like the
- 48:33Speaker 4: heaviest thing to me in my head, like pod Link
- 48:36Speaker 4: and Park stuff like that. And my brother gave me
- 48:38Speaker 4: a burnt copy of Blessed Marcus Child and that changed.
- 48:41Speaker 3: Dude, we have like the I bet there's more burnt
- 48:44Speaker 3: copies of that CD than there are the actual CD
- 48:46Speaker 3: at this point.
- 48:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I have both because he gave me the burnt
- 48:50Speaker 4: copy and he's like, if you really like it, I'll
- 48:52Speaker 4: give you.
- 48:52Speaker 2: We have like almost the exact same experience. Though for
- 48:56Speaker 2: me it was pod Skillet and I was like, this
- 48:59Speaker 2: is as heavy as it gets.
- 49:01Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden I hear Norma Jean
- 49:04Speaker 1: and I'm like, what is this.
- 49:07Speaker 2: I was like I thought I was doing something wrong,
- 49:10Speaker 2: Like I thought I was like I thought I was
- 49:12Speaker 2: being like a bad person for listening.
- 49:14Speaker 4: To sing Dude, I was scared. Like I heard that
- 49:18Speaker 4: first song though, and I was like, I'm not supposed
- 49:23Speaker 4: to be yeah yeah, I think I think yeah that
- 49:27Speaker 4: record and it was one of those things where my
- 49:30Speaker 4: brother had to like I sure, my mom like no,
- 49:31Speaker 4: they're But then he started giving me like other stuff
- 49:36Speaker 4: that wasn't Christian, but he would like write the Christian.
- 49:38Speaker 3: Band Yeah, Like he gave me like great big brother,
- 49:44Speaker 3: you know, the.
- 49:44Speaker 4: Band of Life Once. Yeah, yeah, not Christian, but he
- 49:48Speaker 4: gave me a Life Once. The record Hunter, which is
- 49:52Speaker 4: I'll put this one out to number that sounds good.
- 49:57Speaker 4: They're not my favorite band, like what's I love them?
- 50:00Speaker 4: I think they're great, not my favorite band, not my
- 50:02Speaker 4: favorite album. But if we're talking about like records that
- 50:05Speaker 4: like shaped what I'm doing now, I have to put
- 50:08Speaker 4: that in there because like Lesson Marcius Child and Hunter
- 50:12Speaker 4: were like the two albums that he like presented me.
- 50:14Speaker 4: He's like, if you like this, I got a whole
- 50:18Speaker 4: door that I'm about to so like those two. It
- 50:22Speaker 4: was just like, so I'm gonna throw that in there too.
- 50:26Speaker 1: Those are great, great picks so far.
- 50:29Speaker 4: I have to throw a pod album in there because
- 50:31Speaker 4: if we're talking about stuff that like got me excited.
- 50:34Speaker 4: I'd probably put the Fundamental Elements of South Town.
- 50:38Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't.
- 50:40Speaker 4: I was gonna say Satellite, but Fundamental Elements was another. Again,
- 50:44Speaker 4: like my brother showed me that one first, and then
- 50:48Speaker 4: hearing that for the first time, it sounded so like
- 50:50Speaker 4: weird and heavy.
- 50:51Speaker 3: And I really wish they would have played that at
- 50:53Speaker 3: Furnesssis here because it would have been twenty fifth anniversary.
- 50:57Speaker 3: I was so hoping for them to play it.
- 50:59Speaker 4: I would have killed everyone there. I would have been so.
- 51:02Speaker 1: So it would have It would have been great if
- 51:04Speaker 1: they went't have dropped off the ticket.
- 51:06Speaker 3: But I know that's also they would have destroyed. I mean,
- 51:11Speaker 3: there are very few shows now because I was thinking
- 51:13Speaker 3: about this earlier, Like you know, Colin and I just
- 51:15Speaker 3: saw a pod number of months ago when they were
- 51:18Speaker 3: on their new album tour. But there are very few
- 51:22Speaker 3: shows now at this point that pod can play probably
- 51:26Speaker 3: more than one song from Southtown, and that was a
- 51:32Speaker 3: That festival would have been the perfect opportunity to play
- 51:36Speaker 3: every song from that album, and everybody would have freaked
- 51:40Speaker 3: the fuck out, Like literally thousands of people would have
- 51:42Speaker 3: freaked out for an hour listening to that album. There's
- 51:46Speaker 3: almost no other pod show where they can play any
- 51:49Speaker 3: other song off of that album other than maybe Southtown itself,
- 51:53Speaker 3: And they could have done it, and they just, you know,
- 51:56Speaker 3: for whatever reason, it didn't work out. But that would
- 51:58Speaker 3: have been like perfect opportunity for that to happen.
- 52:00Speaker 4: Dude, imagine them like playing lie Down. Oh my god, Yeah,
- 52:05Speaker 4: people would have freaked. Dude, are you kidding? Like it
- 52:11Speaker 4: would have been crazy. I'm getting chilled just thinking about,
- 52:13Speaker 4: Like that would have been crazy. But if they did
- 52:15Speaker 4: that with like Papa Roach and Arena, people would.
- 52:17Speaker 3: Be like, exactly, That's what I'm saying.
- 52:20Speaker 1: We saw them, We saw them, and Bad Wolves was
- 52:23Speaker 1: opening was easily well.
- 52:26Speaker 2: Actually, Jeremy Shaffer, our buddy, was with us, and we
- 52:29Speaker 2: all agreed that it was easily the worst sounding set
- 52:33Speaker 2: just audio wise, we'd ever heard. This was This wasn't
- 52:38Speaker 2: like a nice casino arena, like like tiny arena, but
- 52:43Speaker 2: it was arena, right, had no reason to sound.
- 52:45Speaker 1: Bad at all, but it did.
- 52:48Speaker 5: Uh.
- 52:49Speaker 2: Pod plays and I would say, what Mason, ninety of
- 52:53Speaker 2: the songs ever, like no one knew.
- 52:56Speaker 3: Yeah, it seemed like almost more people are there for
- 52:58Speaker 3: Bad Wolves than Pod, which to me was like wow,
- 53:01Speaker 3: And I think that was really like maybe a one
- 53:03Speaker 3: off thing where it was just like that particular location
- 53:06Speaker 3: that they were playing in at that time, but god,
- 53:09Speaker 3: that was like, oh that was rough.
- 53:12Speaker 4: Every time I've seen Pod it's been weird. I saw
- 53:16Speaker 4: them with Butch on Long Island.
- 53:21Speaker 1: You were there for but Cherry.
- 53:22Speaker 3: They are kind of playing with bands that like they
- 53:24Speaker 3: just shouldn't be playing with.
- 53:25Speaker 1: Well, they're in kind of like a weird realm, right, It's.
- 53:28Speaker 4: Like and they're like so much cooler, like totally like
- 53:32Speaker 4: they were like and they're nicer. I've met them a
- 53:35Speaker 4: few times.
- 53:35Speaker 1: There's you can tell. You can tell. You can tell
- 53:37Speaker 1: they're genuine people.
- 53:38Speaker 4: You can tell. Yeah, So like dude, I'm playing I'm
- 53:40Speaker 4: at this buck Cherry show and like, dude, I like
- 53:44Speaker 4: I got I didn't even buy merch. I got out
- 53:47Speaker 4: of there as soon as they were done because it
- 53:49Speaker 4: was like the crowd was so insufferable, Like everybody was
- 53:54Speaker 4: wayted and like I didn't know, like everyone was like pushmashing,
- 54:00Speaker 4: like was like not sure about it and like they
- 54:03Speaker 4: wanted to like fight each other because they were all
- 54:05Speaker 4: liked like idiots, but like it was like a bunch
- 54:09Speaker 4: of dudes that have like like metal malicious stickers on
- 54:13Speaker 4: the back of their truck. Probably like therese.
- 54:15Speaker 3: Guys now they're cyber trucks, right, Yeah, And.
- 54:19Speaker 4: I'm like sitting I'm with my friend Brandon, and we're
- 54:21Speaker 4: just like, dude, this sucks. This is so bad. And
- 54:24Speaker 4: then like they played a live and like everybody freaked out.
- 54:26Speaker 4: But like I remember they opened with rock the Party
- 54:30Speaker 4: off of Fun of Most Elements, and like I was
- 54:32Speaker 4: having a great time and everyone's.
- 54:34Speaker 2: Just well, I don't want to like judge an entire
- 54:43Speaker 2: group of people, but like that is like if you're
- 54:46Speaker 2: going to see Buck Cherry, you're probably you're probably you know,
- 54:49Speaker 2: scrounging for brain cells to try to rub together.
- 54:52Speaker 4: Dude, you want to hear the lineup before?
- 54:54Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 54:55Speaker 4: Okay, so it was alien Ans.
- 54:58Speaker 1: Okay, alien Ant Farm is a great band. I don't
- 55:00Speaker 1: care what anyone says.
- 55:02Speaker 4: There was like ten people.
- 55:04Speaker 1: That's so sad.
- 55:06Speaker 4: What I was shocked. I was like, I don't know
- 55:09Speaker 4: if it was it was like maybe like a Thursday
- 55:11Speaker 4: night or something, and it was at like an amphitheater,
- 55:13Speaker 4: so it was big and like they literally played so
- 55:16Speaker 4: like it was probably like fifty people, but like in
- 55:20Speaker 4: an amphitheater, it feels like five.
- 55:23Speaker 2: So I think that they are one of the most
- 55:25Speaker 2: underrated early two thousands bands, Like if you if you
- 55:28Speaker 2: listen to like their albums, they're very very good.
- 55:32Speaker 4: I see, I don't know them other than like the
- 55:35Speaker 4: song yeah, so like and I think that's a lot
- 55:38Speaker 4: of a lot of people they're like, oh yeah, I
- 55:39Speaker 4: love the cover. So now that you said that, I'm
- 55:42Speaker 4: gonna I'm gonna go, you should you should. But so
- 55:46Speaker 4: they opened and then literally and the dude so at
- 55:51Speaker 4: this point it's starting to fill up and the singer
- 55:54Speaker 4: was so drunk. He's just on stage and he's like,
- 55:56Speaker 4: remember I'MTV when we matter, and like you played what's
- 56:02Speaker 4: that song called My Own Worst Enemy? And like he
- 56:07Speaker 4: like fumbled through the whole thing and he's like, yeah,
- 56:10Speaker 4: the band used to be something and now we're not.
- 56:14Speaker 4: And like he was like on this like drunken thing,
- 56:16Speaker 4: and it.
- 56:16Speaker 1: Was like, bro, did anyone say okay? Then?
- 56:21Speaker 4: Oh no? Well, actually at this point I don't know
- 56:23Speaker 4: if okay it was for people saying that in like
- 56:25Speaker 4: two thousand.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Oh probably not not yet.
- 56:28Speaker 3: No, that would have been right, I was twenty seventeen.
- 56:31Speaker 4: Huh wow, seventeen around that time, and then buck Cherry
- 56:37Speaker 4: was setting up.
- 56:37Speaker 3: And oh my gosh, enough of this.
- 56:43Speaker 1: It'd be hard to sit through buck Cherry. I'm not
- 56:45Speaker 1: gonna lie.
- 56:47Speaker 4: I can't do. We have a buck Cherry sticker in
- 56:49Speaker 4: our band.
- 56:51Speaker 1: Ironically, I love it all right, what's your? What's your?
- 56:56Speaker 1: Oh no, you're good? Okay?
- 56:57Speaker 4: So yeah, Normanjy and Blessed the Martyr, Once Lost, Hunter, Pud,
- 57:04Speaker 4: Fundamental Elements, Botch we are.
- 57:11Speaker 3: Album on repeat all the all the time.
- 57:13Speaker 4: I'm gonna put the EP the anthology of that m
- 57:17Speaker 4: ZP next to it, not as my other one, but
- 57:19Speaker 4: like those two together are.
- 57:23Speaker 5: Just very.
- 57:25Speaker 4: Important in my forming of being in a band. Like
- 57:31Speaker 4: I think that I think there, did you guys see
- 57:34Speaker 4: any of the I wish.
- 57:35Speaker 3: I didn't get to see them, but god, I mean
- 57:37Speaker 3: what I would have done to see any of these.
- 57:42Speaker 4: Be really, I don't think i've seen like they were
- 57:46Speaker 4: so tight. They sounded just like the record and like
- 57:49Speaker 4: they didn't miss it beat, Like it was perfect. It
- 57:53Speaker 4: was exactly what you would hope it's perfect. So what
- 57:58Speaker 4: do I got? One more?
- 57:59Speaker 3: I think you one more?
- 58:04Speaker 4: Mm hmm. This is tough, dude. I have so many
- 58:11Speaker 4: things coming at me right now, but I'm gonna say
- 58:17Speaker 4: I have to say to find the great line I think.
- 58:21Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I'm telling you, how are we not best friends?
- 58:26Speaker 4: It's like it's like I want to say something cool
- 58:28Speaker 4: like uh oh, I don't know some like Beatles, but
- 58:34Speaker 4: like you know, like like heavy music guys that'll like
- 58:36Speaker 4: pull something.
- 58:37Speaker 2: Not yeah we just had We just had Matt Fox
- 58:40Speaker 2: on and he loves musicals and so he was yeah
- 58:45Speaker 2: he was trying.
- 58:45Speaker 3: It's like he's just like listening off like three musicals
- 58:48Speaker 3: for his top albums, Like what like this is mad ass.
- 58:50Speaker 4: Dude speaking of sh that within Blood, ill tempered rips, rips.
- 58:58Speaker 4: But yeah, I can't not say under Oath like I
- 59:02Speaker 4: think I think their new music stinks big butt now
- 59:05Speaker 4: but sorry guys, but like Chasing Safety through to like disinbguation,
- 59:13Speaker 4: like those were so good and so important to me
- 59:16Speaker 4: and made me want to play music, so like I can't.
- 59:18Speaker 3: Not Yeah, it is cool to see, you know, like
- 59:22Speaker 3: I think we made it. Maybe mentioned like knock Loose earlier,
- 59:25Speaker 3: but like you know, obviously knock Loose got to this
- 59:27Speaker 3: level where earlier this summer they were charting higher than
- 59:30Speaker 3: Taylor Swift was. Yeah, and we I will say, like,
- 59:35Speaker 3: we have not seen an album chart as high that
- 59:40Speaker 3: sounds that heavy since to find the art lies.
- 59:43Speaker 4: Yeah, and knock Loose is good, dude, I.
- 59:46Speaker 3: Mean not knock Loose. They're they're selling out massive, massive venues.
- 59:52Speaker 4: I back it because like they're they are like that good,
- 59:55Speaker 4: like they're I don't think they're like doing this like
- 59:57Speaker 4: crazy ring Vans in the wheel, but what they they're doing,
- 1:00:00Speaker 4: they do it.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: It's just cool that I love. It's cool that they're
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: not like so out of the box. Uh there. I
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: mean I would say that they are within the box
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: kind of hardcore band.
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just so good. They perfected it. They're so
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: good at it.
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: They're so good. And what's awesome about them is like,
- 1:00:19Speaker 4: were you guys ever into the Warriors? Man?
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: No, I don't think I've even heard of Golden State.
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: Okay, So there's this album by the Right You guys
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: have to listen this. It's called War as Hell by
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: the Warriors, and the vocals you're gonna be like, oh,
- 1:00:36Speaker 4: that's the singer of knock Loose and they wound up
- 1:00:40Speaker 4: like me and my brother were saying that, cause like
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: my brother got me into that record maybe in like
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: two thousand and six or seven. And when Knock Loose
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: came out, like my brother was like, dude, he sounds
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: like a guy from the Warriors. This is so sick.
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: I got from the worst. And then they wound up
- 1:00:55Speaker 4: covering a Warrior's song.
- 1:00:57Speaker 5: What.
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: And I'm almost wondering if it's because people kept saying,
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: you know, you sound with the guy from the Warriors.
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: But like when you guys hear it, you're gonna number one,
- 1:01:06Speaker 4: like blast your head through a window because it's so good.
- 1:01:10Speaker 4: What you're also gonna be like it sounds.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Just so I need to find a tornado shelter to
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: listen to this in is what you're saying.
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: No for real, like you're gonna live, just live in
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: a house that had one?
- 1:01:19Speaker 5: Right?
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: Well, I actually I have to go. I go to
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: the root seller. We'll be all right.
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: First song in on the record.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: You're gonna all right sick come in so good? You
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: sold me? Yeah, love it?
- 1:01:32Speaker 4: Yeah, not loose rips.
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: That's a great lesson, I'm telling you, man, I don't
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: know how we're not best friends.
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: Like we are best friends.
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: Well, we're best friends now, but I'm just like, how
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: did we you're you said you're thirty, Like, how do
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: we not go at least like twenty five years of
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: our life knowing each other.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: Because we lived have the country away for all thirty.
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: Just doesn't make any sense, doesn't make any sense.
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: But well, I'm glad. I'm glad you guys vibe with
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: what Yeah?
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like all of our friends.
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: That's the bible, dude. Those records are the best, the best.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: That all right, what would you like to plug?
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: What?
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: I like?
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: New merchant coming soon at some point.
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: Right, we're gonna we're gonna, uh, we got some leftover
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: stuff I'm probably gonna put up. We just recorded some
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: new songs, so keep an eye out for that. I'm
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: trying to think of what else we have going on.
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: You caught us at like a weird spot, because we're
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: in like a weird like transition thing where we've been
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: touring the past two years NonStop and now we're like,
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: oh wait, we have to put music out. So it's
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: like you caught us in like a weird weird I.
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: Kind of like catching bands on this point though I
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: think it's I think it's fun. Well, how about how
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: about the name of your last record and all that
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: stuff and maybe where people can find it.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: They want to find physical copy if possible. Maybe there's
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: not any out.
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: There, but we physicals are gone that we did like
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: we did like illumined pressing with No Sleep, so those
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: are there's forty of them lost in the mails.
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: It probably was from the when that big boat got
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: stuck in the Suez Canal.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: Probably I can about guarantee that's what happened.
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: So that's hopefully, hopefully we're going to be But we
- 1:03:18Speaker 4: put the record out a year ago. It's called Progress
- 1:03:21Speaker 4: Regress put out on No Sleep. We're looking into repressing it,
- 1:03:25Speaker 4: so hopefully keep an eye for that.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: Hope that it is such a sick record.
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: And it's on streaming checking out. We we love the record,
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: I hope everyone else.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: And yes, anything else you'd like to plug.
- 1:03:41Speaker 4: We're oh, well, this is actually cool thing. We're going
- 1:03:44Speaker 4: to be doing pre orders for custom possible custom fingerboards.
- 1:03:53Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that actually don't know this,
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: but I'm semi pro.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: Fingerboards semi pro, so really, what's that? What's the semi
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: pro circuit, like for.
- 1:04:03Speaker 4: People, you know, there's not a lot. I think I'm
- 1:04:07Speaker 4: like the only Long Islander that's.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: A pro finger only one in Long Island.
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: Damn yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: I can see why you live next to horses if
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: your main sources of income are a hardcore band from
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: a Long Island and a semi pro tech decker.
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: Dude, I actually it's actually my main probably makes more money.
