1
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.769
Hey, you're listening to The Adventure of Pumlin on W4CY.

2
00:00:08.810 --> 00:00:09.429
For you.

3
00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:22.059
This is the Pipe Man here on the Adventures of

4
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.480
Pipe Man W4CY radio, and I'm here with..

5
00:00:24.730 --> 00:00:26.019
Alexi and Max.

6
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.929
Bastards. Oh, my God. At Warped Tour.

7
00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:30.670
Finally.

8
00:00:31.129 --> 00:00:31.730
Oh, my God.

9
00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:32.130
Finally.

10
00:00:32.729 --> 00:00:35.469
Like, how does it feel to be here at Warped Tour?

11
00:00:35.950 --> 00:00:38.869
It feels nostalgic. That's for sure.

12
00:00:39.149 --> 00:00:44.090
I mean, I remember going to Toronto Warped Tour in 2018,

13
00:00:44.090 --> 00:00:44.950
if I recall right.

14
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.439
And it's really, yeah, no, it's what, 2018, yeah.

15
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:55.509
And it's really nostalgic because, you know, every band wants

16
00:00:55.549 --> 00:00:57.850
to play Warped Tour. Back in the day, every band

17
00:00:57.890 --> 00:00:59.950
wanted to play Warped Tour, but here we are.

18
00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:04.519
Here you are in Montreal. What a cool venue, too. Like,

19
00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:06.579
I have never been to this venue. I've been to

20
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.150
a lot of venues. But, man, I also thought it was, like,

21
00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:15.510
the easiest festival I've ever gotten to. Because, like, I

22
00:01:15.549 --> 00:01:18.590
step out my hotel, walk across the street to the metro,

23
00:01:18.709 --> 00:01:21.060
get off the metro, and I was right at Credentials

24
00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:24.260
when I had to stop. I'm like, oh, my God.

25
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.140
It is amazing here. Like, I love it. I wish

26
00:01:28.219 --> 00:01:29.980
every festival had it that easy.

27
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:35.140
I mean, there's a lot of festivals that are here

28
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:35.840
in Parc Jean-Drapeau.

29
00:01:36.250 --> 00:01:38.829
Yeah, each weekend from like a month and a half,

30
00:01:38.930 --> 00:01:39.469
there's a festival.

31
00:01:39.489 --> 00:01:42.750
Oceaga, Lasso, El Sanic.

32
00:01:43.269 --> 00:01:47.879
Nice. And it's such a cool venue. It's like a

33
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.260
really cool vibe, you know, here.

34
00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:50.859
Of course.

35
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.200
It's Van's Warped Tour. Exactly. It's perfect. It looks now,

36
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.890
as Van's Warped Tour, like a skate park, which is

37
00:01:57.939 --> 00:01:58.609
cool with me.

38
00:01:58.620 --> 00:01:59.170
Yeah.

39
00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:02.879
I got to say, too, like, your neck tattoo is

40
00:02:02.939 --> 00:02:05.939
probably the most badass neck tattoo I've ever seen.

41
00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:10.259
It's fresh. I got it finished, like, last Friday.

42
00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:11.099
Wow.

43
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:11.379
Yeah.

44
00:02:11.659 --> 00:02:15.650
But, like, the color. Like, usually it's not a lot

45
00:02:15.689 --> 00:02:18.930
of color in the neck tattoo. Usually it's just the gray,

46
00:02:19.370 --> 00:02:19.650
you know?

47
00:02:19.710 --> 00:02:24.129
Yeah. Shout out to Simon from Quartz Tattoo in St. Therese.

48
00:02:24.810 --> 00:02:27.349
That's the guy. If you want some colors, go see him.

49
00:02:27.370 --> 00:02:28.110
That's the guy.

50
00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:28.849
It is.

51
00:02:28.930 --> 00:02:29.969
Badass neck cut, too.

52
00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:32.319
Very nice artists there. Quartz is very..

53
00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:33.340
They're very cool.

54
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.460
Yeah, Quartz is a very nice shop in St. Therese,

55
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.340
which is like a little north of Montreal. But all

56
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.520
the artists there are very talented.

57
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:42.560
They're very skillful.

58
00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:43.000
Yeah.

59
00:02:43.259 --> 00:02:45.909
You know what's funny, too, is when I got here,

60
00:02:46.870 --> 00:02:50.409
my helper here, Nicole, she showed me a sign that

61
00:02:50.449 --> 00:02:52.969
I've never seen at a festival ever. And it was...

62
00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:55.460
A sign to be careful of the penguins.

63
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.819
Yeah, there's a lot of signs with penguins on it

64
00:02:59.310 --> 00:03:00.150
that says slow down.

65
00:03:00.289 --> 00:03:03.050
I'm like, I've never seen that. That's the coolest shit ever.

66
00:03:03.349 --> 00:03:05.969
I'd like to do a festival here in the winter. Like,

67
00:03:06.349 --> 00:03:10.090
imagine walking through the festival and there's a penguin right there.

68
00:03:10.349 --> 00:03:13.909
There's a festival in winter. I think it's on the island.

69
00:03:14.889 --> 00:03:15.750
And it's like a..

70
00:03:16.849 --> 00:03:17.370
What's it called?

71
00:03:17.509 --> 00:03:18.210
I don't know. I can't tell.

72
00:03:18.530 --> 00:03:19.960
It's like an electronic..

73
00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:23.199
Music festival and it's like Igloo Fest.

74
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:23.539
Yeah.

75
00:03:23.699 --> 00:03:25.840
Because there's an Igloo Fest in Quebec City and I

76
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:28.479
think there is also here in Montreal.

77
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.120
That's pretty cool too.

78
00:03:30.379 --> 00:03:34.759
It's right in the middle of winter like January or February.

79
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:35.879
Maybe there's penguins.

80
00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:36.500
Yeah.

81
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.780
Maybe. There you go. So when was the first time

82
00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:43.889
ever for either one of you that you dreamed about

83
00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:44.969
playing Warped Tour?

84
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.599
It was a life goal for sure. That's what's crazy

85
00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:50.080
about this.

86
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.469
It was a life goal for many, many years, but

87
00:03:53.509 --> 00:03:57.949
when Warped Tour stopped doing festivals, everyone was sad. Now

88
00:03:57.990 --> 00:04:01.389
that they're coming back, playing the first edition of Montreal

89
00:04:01.409 --> 00:04:03.689
Vans Warped Tour, I mean, it's a dream come true.

90
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:04.719
I love it.

91
00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:09.099
I think since the first emo bands I was watching

92
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.400
playing at Vans Warped Tour, I was like, I want

93
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.300
to do that. I want to be on that stage.

94
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.300
I want to do, like, festivals.

95
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.839
I've been playing music for half of my life and

96
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.939
maybe even more than that. And I think, like, the

97
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.449
first year I was playing music, I was like, one

98
00:04:25.490 --> 00:04:27.050
day I want to play on Vans or Dora. And

99
00:04:27.089 --> 00:04:30.889
here we go today. We're here just hanging out. Like,

100
00:04:30.970 --> 00:04:33.490
it's so amazing. Like, it's very intense.

101
00:04:33.509 --> 00:04:34.949
And the weather is perfect.

102
00:04:34.970 --> 00:04:35.870
Yeah, the weather is really nice.

103
00:04:35.889 --> 00:04:38.589
Oh, my God. It's, like, so perfect for a festival.

104
00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:39.649
The sun's there. Everything's there.

105
00:04:39.990 --> 00:04:44.189
Oh my God. So what can we expect from today

106
00:04:44.269 --> 00:04:44.970
from you guys?

107
00:04:47.709 --> 00:04:51.980
A lot of sun, a lot of drinking. I won't

108
00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:54.839
specify what drink, but a lot of drinking.

109
00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:55.800
Yeah, totally.

110
00:04:57.300 --> 00:05:00.639
A lot of heavy music, punk, a lot of noise.

111
00:05:01.579 --> 00:05:04.910
I like noise. Yeah, we do. You know, it's funny.

112
00:05:05.370 --> 00:05:07.949
I think most people don't get it, but the noise

113
00:05:08.029 --> 00:05:11.939
is like such great therapy. You know, Pete, we were

114
00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:15.259
talking about that the other day. It's like, When I

115
00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:20.160
need therapy, I blast the noisiest, loudest music I can.

116
00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:22.439
And then there's other people that are like, oh, my God,

117
00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:26.230
that would drive me nuts. It calms me down, you know?

118
00:05:26.350 --> 00:05:29.339
And I think people don't understand the dynamic of it,

119
00:05:29.790 --> 00:05:30.110
you know?

120
00:05:30.129 --> 00:05:33.439
I mean, I think every music is therapeutic in a way.

121
00:05:33.730 --> 00:05:34.089
No doubt.

122
00:05:34.149 --> 00:05:34.439
Yeah.

123
00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:38.199
For you, the artist, and for us, the listener. Because

124
00:05:38.250 --> 00:05:40.529
for you, it's an ability for you to get stuff

125
00:05:40.649 --> 00:05:41.129
out of you.

126
00:05:41.189 --> 00:05:41.629
To communicate.

127
00:05:41.709 --> 00:05:45.610
In a healthy way. And for us, we can relate

128
00:05:45.670 --> 00:05:49.009
to it. And then even in the pits. we get

129
00:05:49.069 --> 00:05:50.790
it out in a healthy way. Like a lot of

130
00:05:50.829 --> 00:05:53.310
people have been saved in my life by me going

131
00:05:53.329 --> 00:05:54.269
to the pit.

132
00:05:54.829 --> 00:05:57.550
When you write music, especially for me, I write lyrics

133
00:05:57.670 --> 00:06:01.189
and the stuff I talk about is to make people

134
00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:04.420
feel like they're not alone, like they're in some kind

135
00:06:04.459 --> 00:06:05.899
of situation.

136
00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:08.959
That I could be too, that everybody lives. So it

137
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:09.639
is therapeutic.

138
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.199
Absolutely. So one story, good or bad, as an artist

139
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.000
in your whole musical journey, what would you share?

140
00:06:18.970 --> 00:06:23.089
Well, this summer has been the most wonderful year for us.

141
00:06:23.389 --> 00:06:29.839
We've been playing like very, very, how can I say it,

142
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.029
like very important festivals. And for us, it's like the

143
00:06:34.089 --> 00:06:38.230
best year for us. It's like going full circle playing

144
00:06:38.250 --> 00:06:42.360
with bands that we grew up with. It's full circle

145
00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:46.540
going to festivals that we grew up with. We've been

146
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.060
doing this for close to 10 years now and it's

147
00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:54.800
just wonderful how we now have the opportunity to do

148
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:59.069
that and just live the fullest out of it.

149
00:07:00.269 --> 00:07:03.029
So I'll tell you what I do for prepping for interviews.

150
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.680
is I get up early in the morning and I

151
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.730
listen to each band's music. Know them or don't know them,

152
00:07:10.810 --> 00:07:14.449
I don't care. That's my prep for an interview. And

153
00:07:14.490 --> 00:07:16.250
so I was listening to a song you guys dropped

154
00:07:16.310 --> 00:07:20.060
in June. Yeah, November. Okay, and then I was like,

155
00:07:21.410 --> 00:07:23.110
I don't even want to listen to anything else now.

156
00:07:23.170 --> 00:07:24.050
It's so good.

157
00:07:25.050 --> 00:07:26.529
I mean, that's a good thing. That's a good sign.

158
00:07:26.709 --> 00:07:29.620
Right, right? It's good. So how would you say your

159
00:07:29.629 --> 00:07:32.939
motivation to writing songs is now compared to when you

160
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.420
first started writing songs?

161
00:07:34.899 --> 00:07:36.100
It is different for sure.

162
00:07:36.259 --> 00:07:39.160
When we started, you know, when you start a project

163
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.560
or something, you're eager to do stuff.

164
00:07:41.579 --> 00:07:43.850
You're eager to write, to create.

165
00:07:44.029 --> 00:07:47.589
But when you're a couple years in, it's different because

166
00:07:48.029 --> 00:07:50.509
you're kind of used to the project to.

167
00:07:50.449 --> 00:07:54.259
A point where... It's not excitement.

168
00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:58.879
It's more about discipline and being precise on stuff you

169
00:07:58.899 --> 00:08:03.110
want to do. Like either it is instrumentals or me

170
00:08:03.790 --> 00:08:07.250
writing lyrics. I want to talk about specific things compared

171
00:08:07.290 --> 00:08:07.970
to when I started.

172
00:08:08.689 --> 00:08:10.910
It just went all out. I spoke about, I talked

173
00:08:10.930 --> 00:08:12.110
about whatever I talked about.

174
00:08:12.550 --> 00:08:16.529
Yeah. See, and I think your life changes, things happen,

175
00:08:16.589 --> 00:08:18.689
the world change. And those are the things you're generally

176
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.319
writing about. And I think it also, I kind of

177
00:08:22.339 --> 00:08:24.720
think it gets harder for an artist too, as time

178
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.399
goes on. Cause in the beginning, like there's no rules

179
00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:31.800
and you just write whatever. And then it's like, Well,

180
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.860
the rules sometimes come into play, but more importantly, you're

181
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.340
trying to do better than you did before, because you

182
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.799
want to grow as an artist. So I think it's

183
00:08:40.870 --> 00:08:44.399
kind of a different vibe when you're... A few years in, right?

184
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:45.659
You know, writing music.

185
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:51.259
It is difficult because you are more aware of what's

186
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.139
good and what's not good.

187
00:08:53.230 --> 00:08:56.409
Right. That's what makes it difficult.

188
00:08:56.610 --> 00:08:59.289
And you're in competition with yourself. Of course.

189
00:08:59.389 --> 00:09:01.350
Don't be in competition with any other band.

190
00:09:01.429 --> 00:09:01.690
Exactly.

191
00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:03.230
Don't be in competition with yourself.

192
00:09:03.250 --> 00:09:07.299
One of my friends told me a couple months back,

193
00:09:09.740 --> 00:09:13.210
A musician is playing as an artist until he becomes

194
00:09:13.250 --> 00:09:18.490
an artist. And I feel that our most recent project

195
00:09:18.529 --> 00:09:21.169
right now is us as an artist and not playing

196
00:09:21.389 --> 00:09:24.529
as an artist. So we're not trying to be artists.

197
00:09:24.750 --> 00:09:30.570
We're just feeling ourselves and actually do what.

198
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.419
We want to do. Inside of ourselves.

199
00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:35.600
Like, we feel what we're playing now, and we don't

200
00:09:36.059 --> 00:09:37.830
pretend to feel what we're playing.

201
00:09:37.970 --> 00:09:40.350
I don't know if... That makes all the sense in

202
00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:40.870
the world.

203
00:09:41.490 --> 00:09:43.509
I guess that's like our..

204
00:09:43.549 --> 00:09:46.549
You're being yourself, opposed to trying to be what you

205
00:09:46.610 --> 00:09:47.629
want to be. Exactly.

206
00:09:47.850 --> 00:09:49.230
We assume who we are.

207
00:09:49.529 --> 00:09:52.889
With these new tracks that's coming, we assume who we are.

208
00:09:52.909 --> 00:09:57.429
It's, you know, a new sound, a new vision, but

209
00:09:58.590 --> 00:09:59.190
it is us.

210
00:09:59.789 --> 00:09:59.970
Yeah.

211
00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:03.320
And i i think too like even with warp tour

212
00:10:03.580 --> 00:10:07.340
it's like if you took bands from warp tour nine

213
00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:13.000
in the 90s like would that same music that was

214
00:10:13.230 --> 00:10:18.990
at that same time be as relevant for a band

215
00:10:19.049 --> 00:10:23.169
itself playing in Warped Tour now. And I think you almost,

216
00:10:23.190 --> 00:10:26.490
it's gotta be a lot different because you grow as

217
00:10:26.529 --> 00:10:32.470
an artist and all that time. Plus, when you're young,

218
00:10:33.370 --> 00:10:35.570
you're writing about different crap than when you get a

219
00:10:35.590 --> 00:10:38.309
little older, for sure. You know, it's kind of like,

220
00:10:38.330 --> 00:10:42.200
I always talk about Joe from the Vandals. He'll always

221
00:10:42.250 --> 00:10:44.039
joke when he interviews with me because he knows I

222
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.450
won't ask the question and everybody else does. He goes,

223
00:10:47.590 --> 00:10:49.990
Pipe Man, don't ask me when the Vandals are going

224
00:10:50.009 --> 00:10:52.620
to write new music. Nobody wants to hear a 50-year-old

225
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.320
writing lyrics about a punk rock song. Exactly.

226
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.559
You get mature. You mature with the music and you

227
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:06.429
get older. You have different hardships during your time. And

228
00:11:06.570 --> 00:11:10.429
that's what it is. We're not writing at the same pace.

229
00:11:11.490 --> 00:11:14.549
the same parts that we used to live back when

230
00:11:14.610 --> 00:11:17.250
we were like 20, 23 years old. Now we're all

231
00:11:17.690 --> 00:11:21.029
close to 30 now. So we're still young. We're still

232
00:11:21.049 --> 00:11:22.230
like very young, but like.

233
00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:25.580
But there is a big difference from lower 20s to

234
00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:28.899
30 for sure. Like that's like the biggest growth moment

235
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:32.480
of people's lives. I think is that 20s, you know.

236
00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:34.840
I think the early 20s is what is, what's going

237
00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:39.519
to define somebody, their personalities and how they view life

238
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:40.480
in the future.

239
00:11:40.990 --> 00:11:46.950
Exactly. That makes sense, too. So how do you get

240
00:11:47.110 --> 00:11:50.549
out doing Warped Tour? What else is going on the

241
00:11:50.590 --> 00:11:51.250
rest of the year?

242
00:11:51.789 --> 00:11:54.590
For the rest of the year, we had a big

243
00:11:54.649 --> 00:11:57.269
summer and now we're playing Warped Tour, but we already

244
00:11:57.350 --> 00:11:59.269
plan to drop an album.

245
00:11:59.669 --> 00:12:00.029
Nice.

246
00:12:00.429 --> 00:12:04.029
Drop some new tunes by the end of the year,

247
00:12:04.070 --> 00:12:07.710
I would say. It's not announced yet, but that's what's up.

248
00:12:08.100 --> 00:12:08.629
That's what's coming.

249
00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:10.659
It'll be like a Boxers Day present.

250
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:15.299
So, you know, we had in mind that playing all

251
00:12:15.340 --> 00:12:22.460
these big festivals, then releasing an album could be beneficial

252
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.360
and a good thing to do because the hype is there.

253
00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:29.179
The hype from the summer is there. So why not

254
00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:30.590
just give some new music?

255
00:12:31.210 --> 00:12:32.779
Yeah, absolutely. I love it.

256
00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:35.929
We also have like a little tour that we're going...

257
00:12:36.909 --> 00:12:41.629
in the East Canadians, all the Maritimes, with two very,

258
00:12:41.690 --> 00:12:45.289
very good bands, one from Toronto and one from Quebec also.

259
00:12:46.149 --> 00:12:46.830
It's going to be cool.

260
00:12:46.870 --> 00:12:50.710
We're going to be doing a couple of dates in

261
00:12:50.789 --> 00:12:53.080
New Brunswick, so it's going to be very nice. First

262
00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:57.720
time we're going to the East. Very, very excited about that, too.

263
00:12:58.179 --> 00:13:01.779
Nice. I love it. And I always have to say

264
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:06.309
that As an American, man, Canadian musicians are the best

265
00:13:06.509 --> 00:13:12.230
freaking musicians. It must be the shitty weather usually. Because,

266
00:13:13.029 --> 00:13:16.090
I mean, it is amazing the musicianship that comes out

267
00:13:16.110 --> 00:13:20.320
of here. And, you know, so I'm glad that I

268
00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:22.559
got to meet you guys here at Warped Tour.

269
00:13:22.580 --> 00:13:23.600
Thank you for having us here.

270
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:24.539
It's really cool.

271
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:25.139
It's been really cool.

272
00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:27.460
Thank you for being on the Adventures of Pipe Man.

273
00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:27.960
Hell yeah.

274
00:13:28.580 --> 00:13:29.169
Thank you so much, man.

275
00:13:29.179 --> 00:13:29.940
Thank you very much.

276
00:13:31.970 --> 00:13:36.960
Thank you for listening to The Adventures of Pikeman on

277
00:13:36.980 --> 00:13:37.620
