The band headed into 2026 like a freight train — all gas, no brakes.

Upstate New York metalcore outfit Fight From Within released their new single, “Let Me Out,” through an exciting new partnership with Arson Theory. Produced by Pablo Viveros (Formerly Chelsea Grin), the track captures the band’s energy and edge to their sound.

“We had a blast with this track,” the band shares. “We wanted it to be intense and kind of trippy. We even added a little surprise in the release."

That surprise comes in the form of a hidden track titled “TATT,” which stands for “Tired All The Time.” The track delivers a pointed message from the band about their frustrations with the current state of the scene.

“TATT stands for ‘Tired All The Time’ because we’re so over the bullshit in the scene,” the band explains.

Alongside the release of “Let Me Out,” Fight From Within will be hitting the road this spring, bringing their high-energy live show to fans across multiple cities. Known for their explosive performances and uncompromising attitude, the band continues to build momentum both on record and on stage. Recently, the band signed with Core Collective Talent Agency for US and Canada tours & Timeframe Booking for Europe.

Yay, what's going on, guys man, it's good to see

Thank you man.

10
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.520
Yeah, dude, it's is a head of blast. Last time

11
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:58.280
we were hanging.

12
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.799
Out, it's always on, it's always fun and I have

13
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.599
a blast that you have this new single out let

14
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.040
Me Out. Yeah. I feel like that's the mantra of

15
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.840
my life right now, and which is why I went

16
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.200
to Costa Rica last month to escape. That was at

17
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.120
That was a let me out moment, get me away

18
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.680
from all this insanity that's going on. Yeah, you know,

19
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:26.599
and uh, that's what music's all about. And you know,

20
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.480
I want to hear about the surprise.

21
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:33.840
Oh the other song.

22
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.359
So so yeah, we dropped T A T T which

23
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.120
is TAT tired all the time. We dropped that with

24
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.439
it because it was just something that we wrote and

25
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.680
it was so true because God, we're exhausted, we're so exhausted.

26
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.159
It's hard out here, man. But like you know, let

27
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.079
me out too. I feel like depending on what you

28
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.519
did in Costa Rica or what you what you've done

29
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.959
in the past. So that song is literally about a

30
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.280
bad LSD trip.

31
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.439
Oh though, well there you go.

32
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.039
Yeah, so if you look, if you look at the lyrics,

33
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.719
it was about a bad acid trip. The song itself

34
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.840
instrumentally was just very you know, I felt like it

35
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.159
was extreme. It was extreme and it was super trippy

36
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.120
the way that the way that we blended, the breakdown

37
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.000
in the middle and everything. So, uh yeah, I formulated

38
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.400
it around a bad acid trip, not saying that I've

39
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.479
ever done acid or anything.

40
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.560
Well, only somebody that's done would know what it's like

41
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.120
to have a bad one and want to get out

42
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.000
of it and want to.

43
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.919
Get out when you're sitting there for nine hours later.

44
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:50.360
Why exactly exactly. And you know, to me, I think

45
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.400
that's what makes great music too, is everybody puts their

46
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.439
own meaning to stuff. And there's so many things that

47
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.199
people could say let me out to nowadays, you know.

48
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.479
And as far as the other song, I'm tired all

49
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.599
the time, Well, listen, I don't know how you can

50
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.639
even be a musician today. Like you know, back in

51
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.439
the day, if you were a musician, you're fucked off

52
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.919
your party, sex and all that, and people would cheer

53
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:25.000
you on. Nowadays, you know, you don't have record labels

54
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.919
throwing that silly money at people, so you have to

55
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.400
work all the time. Is such hard work being a

56
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.080
musician nowadays. You have so much to compete with, Like

57
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.080
there's so many bands and people don't even give you

58
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.240
consider a short attention span that the amount of time

59
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.039
that's necessary, and so yeah, I mean that is definitely

60
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.280
you know, like some of my favorite songs. Perfect example,

61
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:01.680
I was doing coverage at we can call it at

62
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:09.919
Hell's Heroes and you know, it's Udo was there and

63
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.199
I heard the beginning of his set and it took

64
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.759
me only one second to know what song it was.

65
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.000
But that first ten seconds is something that nowadays kids

66
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.920
probably wouldn't even listen to, And that was fast as

67
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.160
a shark, and when it's starting to be a dude,

68
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.040
most kids nowadays would probably go to the next track after

69
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:34.920
hearing that, and they would miss one of the best

70
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.519
songs ever.

71
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:37.959
Yeah, I listened to all types of crazy shit. I

72
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.240
was to this day, to this day I listened to

73
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.720
my favorite pink floid EP with Animals.

74
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:46.800
Right nice.

75
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.560
I love that and I'll be putting it on and

76
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:50.959
people be like, what are you listening to?

77
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.879
And I'm like, are you out of your mind? This

78
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:53.920
is music, man.

79
00:04:54.439 --> 00:05:01.079
That album specifically has given me insight to all my

80
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.959
bad choices of women for the rest of my life.

81
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.560
And I'll tell you why. Because Okay, So I was

82
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.199
twelve years old. My dad's business part had two stepdaughters.

83
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.839
Both of them were super hot. Okay, one was thirteen,

84
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.399
one was eleven. The thirteen year old she was like,

85
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.160
I was still kind of geeky. I wasn't even really

86
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.120
that cool yet, Like I was still you know, I

87
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.079
was still kind of like that, you know, you're on

88
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:37.120
that border of geekiness and cool them at that twelve

89
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.040
year old bark right in that.

90
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.399
Mix of puberty when it's starting to.

91
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:46.560
Hit exactly that. Okay, So, she turned me on to

92
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.600
that album Animals, and to this day, I can't listen

93
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.319
to that album without thinking about her. Now, the funny

94
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.720
part about the story is I had a total crush

95
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:03.319
arm massive but she was thirteen. I'm twelve. That wasn't happening.

96
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:07.920
Her boyfriend was some dude van who was seventeen or eighteen,

97
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:16.720
you know, like that type that situation, yeap. And she also,

98
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:24.240
you know, she was partying doing drugs. I hadn't found

99
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.680
that life yet. And then there was a sister who

100
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.759
was eleven, who was also super hot, and she had

101
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:37.879
a super crush on me, and I wasn't interested at

102
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.120
all because she was too young.

103
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.959
I feel like that happens so a lot, like especially

104
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.480
or younger, the ones you were chasing are interested and

105
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.759
the ones that were chasing you you weren't interested in

106
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:50.120
Oh totally.

107
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.279
I think it happens to everybody as adults too. But

108
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:59.600
here's the best part. Okay, so the older one she

109
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:05.639
ended up like a heroin, addict, prostitute, all these things,

110
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.000
like I dodged the bullet that her not liking me,

111
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.720
and yet it is sad where but karma is a

112
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.439
bitch and somebody up there as a sense of humor

113
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.240
because the younger one she became a famous supermodel and

114
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.560
that's the one I turned down. So it just I

115
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.439
look at now, I'm like that was the beginning of

116
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.480
my wrong choices.

117
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.199
Yeah, yeah, And that's all thing I could listen to

118
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:34.639
the song.

119
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.959
The song dogs so much.

120
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.079
That seventeen minute masterpiece has always been stuck.

121
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.199
Imagine we were just talking about this and lasts on

122
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.639
the interview. Imagine somebody listening to a seventeen minute song

123
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:50.839
now like a kid.

124
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.120
No, that's seventeen songs now exactly.

125
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.639
You know I was talking about. Imagine kids would never

126
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.920
listen to Daston confused because it was too long, you know.

127
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.720
And I think that's what's making a comeback a little though,

128
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:13.079
is that bands, you know, are going back to musicianship,

129
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.279
you know. And I think the young even younger generations

130
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.040
are going back to that too, because I have like

131
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.680
two granddaughters that what they want for their birthday, They

132
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.879
want me to take them to get them a vinyl.

133
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:26.839
Yeah.

134
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:32.519
Like definitely the hard too. The hardcore community tends to

135
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.000
be extremely just about the music.

136
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.679
Yeah, right, total, and that's.

137
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.440
Good to see, especially with the younger kids these days. Unfortunately,

138
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.159
a lot of it, you know, it sets yourself up

139
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.320
that you right now you have to just learn how

140
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.000
to be your own label. It's kind of like you

141
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.799
were saying earlier, because a lot of people aren't taking

142
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.759
people and spending that kind of money anymore. And now

143
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.960
everything's so oversaturated. But you actually have the tools to

144
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.039
get out there, you just have to be able to

145
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.159
use them. And a lot of people don't want to

146
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:07.559
even bother learning.

147
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.120
How Yeah, and it's a lot, you know, Like so

148
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.080
you know, you go back to a day of the

149
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.039
tape tape trading days. That was fun. It wasn't a lot.

150
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.840
But like even what I do, I have to be

151
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.679
on all these different socials and it's like sometimes I

152
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.759
just want to like throw it all out the window,

153
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.879
you know, because it's like it's so much for you

154
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.519
artists to have to do. You can't just do like

155
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.480
one thing. You can't you can't do like Motley cru

156
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:39.960
did and plaster flyers all over LA on telephone polls,

157
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.279
and you know you have so much. It's a full

158
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:46.360
time job.

159
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.440
It's a full time job, a million percent, you know.

160
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.120
As a band manager too, you know, I tell I

161
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.840
tell my guys, I'm like, listen, if you think you

162
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.120
can take a day off, you can't.

163
00:09:58.279 --> 00:09:59.960
Like they're not relevant anymore.

164
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.559
No, man, if you take a couple hours off, people

165
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.279
don't know who you are anymore. So it's it's it's

166
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:10.519
so important to just be in front of someone's face constantly, right,

167
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.960
And that's something that my band has been pretty successful

168
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.600
at with our like impact reels that we have. You know,

169
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.519
someone crashes into a car and all of a sudden

170
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:20.720
it goes to a breakdown.

171
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:21.039
Right.

172
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.480
It really punches people into your music. It makes people

173
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.480
pay attention, right, And that's that's hard now, it's hard

174
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.000
to get anyone's attention.

175
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:34.080
Yeah, totally. And even from my end, like as you know,

176
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.039
because we met this way, I go on tour and

177
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.120
I do media coverage at music festivals all over the US, UK, Europe.

178
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.519
There's sometimes that I'm like, maybe I'm gonna sit out

179
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.799
this year, this one, and then it's like no, I can't.

180
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:48.639
I can't.

181
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.639
You can't sit one out, you know. It's like otherwise

182
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.600
you're not unrelevant anymore the next year.

183
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.360
Even me, my band doesn't even have to be playing,

184
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.559
and I somehow need to make sure that I'm there, right,

185
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.320
you know, my band still has to have a representative

186
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:06.679
at these things, even if we're not.

187
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.080
Playing exactly exactly.

188
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:10.240
Now.

189
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.919
That's also the beauty nowadays is that you do have

190
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.720
people like Danny Wimmer. They're putting on these major festivals

191
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.480
and bringing artists up that normally win because that used

192
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.200
to be like it's coming back next year, but that

193
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.679
used to be Osfest is like I remember I was

194
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.120
at os Fest ninety nine and saw on the third

195
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:35.039
little teeny stage slip Knop Monday and in this moment

196
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.159
all on the little teenie stage.

197
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.720
Yes, it's it's insane.

198
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.600
I remember one of my things as a kid, You

199
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.679
remember hit Parader in Circus magazine. Totally my bedroom was

200
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.639
just posted in all those pictures they'd have so mud vane.

201
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.759
Chad Gray is like my idol.

202
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.759
Nice, right, So when I got to meet him at

203
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.240
Louder than Life and actually hang out with the guys,

204
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.360
they're guitarist Marcus Efferty is a good friend of mine,

205
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.120
so uh yeah, that was It was a really cool experience.

206
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:10.200
And you know, Danny Wimmer, dude, you know, like their

207
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:14.919
whole community, they just want everybody. They provide really literally

208
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.039
a spot where everyone can just network and talk and

209
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.639
and help each other grow and form connections and relationships.

210
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:23.279
I owe.

211
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.200
I feel like I owed Danny Wimmer like half of

212
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.840
our career, honestly.

213
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.200
And there's a lot of bands that could say the same,

214
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:34.519
you know, Like he discovers bands. The funniest thing I

215
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.480
remember is, you know the band Silly Goose right, yep,

216
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.600
So I was trying to remember which festival it was.

217
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.480
I'm pretty sure all of them, but the first one

218
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:51.399
that they crash okay like old school punk bands used

219
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.559
to do. Yeah, just pulled up and they played in

220
00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:00.679
the parking area without permission and Wimmer was sitting there

221
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:02.840
with arms folded watching them.

222
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:03.440
Yep.

223
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.399
Next day they were on the stage yep, on a

224
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.480
real stage. And they've been on festivals ever since.

225
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.639
Yeah, they're so sick. I remember seeing that happen. And

226
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:19.080
then we ended up playing the festival Incarceration. We played

227
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:23.919
the small stage, but they they played the campgrounds, the

228
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.840
campground stage, and they just had they had people hanging

229
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.639
in trees. Dude, it was a party out there.

230
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:31.240
Oh yeah.

231
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.080
And those yeah, they're they're kind of like even for

232
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.200
being younger, like, they're definitely an inspiration to people who

233
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.559
are older. I feel like too, man, getting out there

234
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.960
and really getting back to the roots of just we're

235
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.720
gonna play whether the fuck you like it or not.

236
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.679
Yeah, And you know, it is funny because they used

237
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.399
to they they were before the Danny Wimer thing. They

238
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:57.679
were going on tour doing this, like they didn't. It

239
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:01.200
wasn't a tour that was booked. That was just let's

240
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.200
get in the trailer. I remember I was covering riot

241
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.120
Fest and they were outside the venue promoting a subway

242
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:10.639
show they were having.

243
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.639
Yeah, dude, they were playing there. Well, I think it

244
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:14.519
was Lollapalooza. They were played.

245
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.200
They shut down a parking lot and started playing there.

246
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.679
They got arrested in Atlanta for playing in a gas station.

247
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.879
I have the shirt for that.

248
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:27.559
Sure, yeah, dude, you know, good for them, man, it's

249
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.519
that's the stuff you got to you know, it's crazy

250
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.799
that you have to go risk a criminal record to

251
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.080
get noticed.

252
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:39.720
Nowadays, right right, you know, And there's so many bands

253
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.919
out there and so many are so that you do

254
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.559
have to go outside the box to get notice.

255
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:46.000
There's just no choice, man.

256
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.559
You have to provide something different or be relevant, and

257
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.080
you have to if you're not gonna if you're not

258
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:57.879
going to hustle twenty four to seven, then you really

259
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:00.960
have to have something going on. You really have to

260
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.120
be innovative in some sort of way.

261
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:03.679
Right.

262
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:04.559
Oh, So.

263
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:07.039
There's not really a choice.

264
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.960
You're either gonna hustle like the rest of us do,

265
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:10.840
or you're gonna come up with something that's never been

266
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.440
heard before.

267
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.679
And then, and that is what you guys are all about.

268
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.039
You're you're the band headed into twenty twenty six. It's

269
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.240
like a freight train, all gas, no breaks.

270
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:21.960
We we went.

271
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.759
We focused on touring this year, like we we the

272
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:29.440
festival route is amazing, uh you know, uh, but we

273
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.399
can only we played basically every festival last year, So

274
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.919
to go back, you know, it's not as easy or

275
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.720
that you even want to because you want to. You

276
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.320
want to create a demand. You don't want to oversaturate

277
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.799
festivals just as much as you don't want to oversaturate

278
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.720
your hometown. Right, we were lucky enough to have Incarceration back.

279
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.200
So Incarceration we.

280
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.600
Wanted to get on the first one. Dan Jensen picked

281
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:57.080
us up for the next year, and then they basically

282
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.879
gave us our own headlining show the day before, right,

283
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.440
so that festival in itself, we've been able to build

284
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:06.799
such an amazing network of amazing.

285
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:07.840
People that want us back there.

286
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.159
But you know, we also we had to take a

287
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:11.679
year off.

288
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:16.080
Man, you know, I hear you. You know it's like

289
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:21.080
it's funny because even recent recently, because last year was

290
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:24.840
brutal for me, Like I was at a festival every

291
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.279
weekend from March till October.

292
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.559
God, it's a beautiful thing though.

293
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:34.080
And it is fun Like I bring my daughter and

294
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.039
she'll be like, halfway through the first day of a festival,

295
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:38.559
she's like that, I don't know how you do this

296
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.960
every week and I'm done already, and I don't know how.

297
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.840
I don't. But there are some times that I'm like, well,

298
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.039
you know that, as much as I hated it, that

299
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.200
period of time during COVID was kind of nice to

300
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.879
get that little force break but still be able to

301
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.639
be relevant because you had no choice by that break.

302
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.960
That being said, after that break, it was like, oh

303
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.920
my god, I don't know how I lived for two

304
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.559
years without live music, you.

305
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:17.039
Know, I think my band was that's where we formed

306
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.319
during COVID, So like we were, you know, lucky enough

307
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.000
to just hit the ground running when everything opened back up,

308
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.759
which is it sucks for a lot of people that

309
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.559
there was a lot of people that hit the ground

310
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:32.000
running right before COVID started, and yeah, he got kind

311
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.000
of halted.

312
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.599
I interviewed a bunch of them that they were like

313
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:40.880
about to break out, and then that's it halted, like

314
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:41.680
you said.

315
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.680
And then if you didn't stay relevant on the internet,

316
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.119
then you just fizzled away totally.

317
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.119
And that's hard work right there. So what else can

318
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.440
we expect from you guys for the rest of twenty

319
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:54.079
twenty six.

320
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:57.240
Well, we got a bunch of music coming out. We

321
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:01.000
ended up dropping that together, and we've been kind of

322
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.880
thinking of just sporadically dropping music, right, like, I love it,

323
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.519
you know here, Who knows, Maybe next month we're gonna

324
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:12.000
have two songs come out, right, who knows.

325
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:14.039
Maybe we're gonna drop an EP. Who knows.

326
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.680
Maybe we're gonna drop four singles in a month.

327
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.640
Maybe we're gonna drive.

328
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.079
But I know that you guys are gonna just constantly

329
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:21.160
have music from us.

330
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:22.240
That's something I do know.

331
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.720
And I love that. Yeah, that's surprise hidden track that Yeah,

332
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.079
thank Badass. Yeah. You know, stuff like that is what

333
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.240
sents a band like you aside from the rest of

334
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.720
the crowd. And that's really what you need to do nowadays.

335
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:35.799
You have to stand out.

336
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.359
We're trying, we're trying to stay relevant, we're trying to

337
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.039
hit tours.

338
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:40.720
We'd like to get out to the West coast.

339
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.759
As far as festivals go, you know, we have a

340
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.720
few smaller ones this year. We're probably gonna aim to

341
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:50.119
try to hit Rockville and Aftershock, two places.

342
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:50.720
We haven't been yet.

343
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:54.039
Maybe next year, right or maybe do the circuit for

344
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.119
twenty twenty seven. But this year, you know, we're we're

345
00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.599
leaning on a bunch of our own tours. We have

346
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:02.839
a run with Autumnized Buried. We're doing a four day

347
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:09.519
run with We're gonna be going to Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and.

348
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:16.440
Juliette, Illinois outside of Chicago. Then we have a tour

349
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.480
right after that.

350
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.680
We're jumping on with Confessions of a Trader and and

351
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:25.839
Exit Wounds, where we're gonna be hitting the from Chicago

352
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.640
to New England all the way down to Florida. And

353
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:33.319
then we're cool enough man to actually go play two

354
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:36.440
shows with direct support.

355
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.079
For a pun a Burning Body in Texas.

356
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.000
Nice, and we're going on tour with Young Mash, bringing

357
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.200
them with us from from from Memphis all the way

358
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:50.960
down to cn L Ray which is right on the border.

359
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:53.319
Wow, very cool.

360
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:55.359
That's gonna be really cool. And then we have another

361
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.079
tour we haven't announced yet so.

362
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.319
Oh so everybody's have to watch out for that.

363
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.119
Huh oh yeah, one hundred We're trying to get out

364
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:05.680
to the West coast sooner or later too.

365
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:07.680
That's that's the next the next trail. We might as

366
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.400
well be traveling to Russia at that point.

367
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:13.000
But right, well, you need to tell everybody how they

368
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.920
can reach out to you on the socials on the

369
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.119
web so they can watch out for all these happenings

370
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:19.920
that are going to be coming and not miss them.

371
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:21.039
Yeah, one hundred percent.

372
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.839
Everything can be really found on fight from Within dot com.

373
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.240
That's our website. We'll have our updated tour routes.

374
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:32.400

00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.720
and you can find everything there, our Instagram, Fight from within,

376
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.640
n y on on everything. Also, you know, my own

377
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.559
little business venture, me and my partner and a few

378
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.000
other agents, we started our own booking agency and management

379
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.759
company that we've been putting out there called the Core Collective,

380
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.680
and you can stay up to date with that and

381
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.599
all our bands that we have over there as well.

382
00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:00.799
Nice. So I love it. I love your everybody else

383
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.480
check you out. They can't listen to my show, And

384
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.599
let's say, you know, go some shows and buy some merch. Okay,

385
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.000
I'll ban them from the show if they don't.

386
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.279
I need we need it, We need it well.

387
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:16.519
And I say that, you know, jokingly, but it is true.

388
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.200
That's there's the only way bands can get out there

389
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.599
and give you a live show and new music is

390
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.640
through merch. Because surely a Deify is not paying you.

391
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:29.680
No, that's how happened.

392
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:31.880
But if you get enough streams, you can make money.

393
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.839
I will say that, Well, there you go. So you

394
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.240
gotta get out there, everybody, get out there, get them

395
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.400
enough streams, and uh, do you have any final words

396
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:42.200
for our listeners?

397
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.200
I guess that's it. Man just keeps importing the scene.

398
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.559
I will say this, Uh, the music scene is in

399
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.119
a lot of trouble right now. So it's it's more

400
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.480
imperative now than ever to get out there and support

401
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:58.240
people and buy pre sale tickets and make promoters feel

402
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:00.759
comfortable that they can still bring people and they're not

403
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.160
going to lose their house over it.

404
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.480
You know, no better words right there. Because there's been

405
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.400
a bunch of festivals that are usually on the Pipe

406
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:11.920
Man Radio tour that are not going to be there

407
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.559
this year, and that's unfortunate. One of them's one of

408
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.680
my favorites that it blows my mind. But state of

409
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.799
the world we're in right now, and that's punk rock

410
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.720
Bowling in Vegas. Like, I'm shocked I found out they're

411
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.839
not going to have one this year.

412
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.319
Yeah, I mean, well, it's kind of hard to do

413
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.079
anything in California when it's out that way, when it's

414
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.799
seven dollars a gallon right now.

415
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:38.720
Yeah, no doubt that, you know, And people don't realize

416
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:40.720
that's why I say they have to support bands buying

417
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.599
their merch because it's a very costly thing to go

418
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:44.240
on tour.

419
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:45.680
The merch is in.

420
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.240
The merch is vitally important for artists. I sit here

421
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:51.880
and I tell everybody right now, is somebody who's deeply

422
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.880
rooted as far as booking across the country working with

423
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:59.279
these festivals pre sale tickets, pre sale tickets.

424
00:22:59.400 --> 00:22:59.960
It's cheap.

425
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.799
I understand that. Like when I say pre sale tickets,

426
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:07.480
imagine I'm not talking about ticket Master Alive Nation. And

427
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.759
that's those companies with the fees have given a stigma

428
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.039
to the smaller ticketing companies that are trying to survive

429
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.559
and the promoters that are trying to survive. If the

430
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:21.960
pre sale, you're gonna see tours getting canceled and shows

431
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.880
getting canceled left and right, if there can't be some

432
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.599
kind of compiled data proving that the show is not

433
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:30.160
gonna flop, and the only way you're going to be

434
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.960
able to save that is by buying pre sale tickets

435
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.400
for these bands that you care about. Do not wait

436
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:39.240
until the last thirty days to buy a ticket, because

437
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:42.240
by that time they might already be thinking about canceling.

438
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:44.960
It doesn't even matter if one hundred and sixty people

439
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.079
show up the day of show. If they don't know

440
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:48.720
that's going to happen, the show.

441
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:49.400
Is not going to be there.

442
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.359
Yeah, it's a bummer, and we need music more than

443
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:55.680
ever right now because it's the best therapy there is.

444
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.279
Yeah, Well, you're lucky enough to have people like you

445
00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:00.200
and people like me that are fighting to try to

446
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:01.079
keep that happening.

447
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:06.759
Right, So there you go. Well, you guys rock and

448
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.119
I look forward. You definitely have to be at Rockville

449
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:14.799
and aftershot because Rockville, well that's my home state for festivals.

450
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:19.039
But you know, you get the drive on the Daytona Speedway.

451
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:21.279
Yeah, oh yeah, I've been there. It's really cool.

452
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:22.440
Are you Are you in Florida?

453
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:28.359
Yeah, I'm in South Florida. You're not coming down my

454
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:29.279
way because.

455
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.680
The Yeah, the closest we're going to be to you

456
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:32.720
is Winter Park.

457
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:37.119
Yeah, which isn't bad. It's a couple hours. Yeah, and

458
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:38.880
I would drive up there for one of your shows

459
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.039
if I'm not out at a festival. So I'll have

460
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:42.880
to look into that.

461
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:48.799
But I believe or the twenty third, it's that weekend.

462
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.680
Oh, it's that the same weekend as Milwaukee Metal Fest.

463
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:58.519
Probably that might be there. We'll all right, we'll check

464
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:00.480
it out because I would always support you guys. You

465
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:04.960
guys are appreciate that you're badass band. And after Shock,

466
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.880
by the way, my favorite of all the wimmer festivals.

467
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:10.240
Are you going to be in this year?

468
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.559
I'm deciding right now. Uh, you get to hang out

469
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.400
with me if you Yeah. I'm usually there every year,

470
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.160
and I'm deciding right now. I do have all my

471
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:24.960
travel books, so I'm decided more on the yes than

472
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:28.920
the no. All right, but after Shock has the coolest

473
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:32.519
media artist lounge you ever saw, Like it's Yeah, it's

474
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:33.200
a lot of fun.

475
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:35.880
That's something I definitely can't wait to get a part

476
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:37.200
of hopefully next year.

477
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.240
There it is. We're making that happen. We're putting it

478
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:41.519
out in the universe.

479
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:42.680
