HighWay – Last Call For Rock n’ Roll (2026) - PipemanRadio Interview

Show Notes
Transcript

“We think they will be blown away by this new record. After an unplugged album in 2022 (The Journey) where we experimented with lots of new stuff and atmosphere, we’re back to a true rock sound, 100% electric! Pure high voltage! But always with our own sense of melody, a lot of vocals and surprises! We loved to write and record these new songs. More personal and emotional than ever. We worked hard on pre-production with our producer, Brett Caldas-Lima, in the old-fashioned way. We worked on each detail of these songs to deliver their essential core. To deliver the best songs we could write. It was a passionate process. We’re feeling more mature, wise and effective as songwriters. The lyrics are more personal, intimate, reflecting life and stuff that we had to endure, and we wanted to share them in our new songs. We hope it will connect and resonate with a lot of people. We’re really proud of this record at each level: songwriting, sound and production.” – HighWay

“This track (Bang Bang) fires with brash confidence while questioning the cost of excess. Beneath the swagger sits a sharp self-interrogation about fame, wealth, image, and the anxiety of choosing one path over another. Repetition becomes pressure, mirroring a mind spiralling under desire and doubt. It lands as both celebration and warning, pairing arena-sized hooks with a knowing sense of consequence that gives the noise purpose rather than empty bravado and lasting emotional weight beyond the chorus. To close, this single and forthcoming album won’t gather dust in any collection, and will keep feet tapping and heads bouncing from sofa to stage. So why not clear a space, and give Highway a try for 2026. Star Rating 9/10” – Stargazer Music Magazine

here with you today.

11
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:54.079
Yes, and I love your background. Yours is more real

12
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.280
than mine. Like mine's cool because it's your band, but

13
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:02.320
yours is real, like and I dig it. How many

14
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:03.560
guitars do you have?

15
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.400
Yeah? I got to sg here get some a g

16
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.159
two of their les pool and acoustics, or four here

17
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:20.480
and two six six electric guitars yet nice? Yeah, I

18
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.439
love that. It's too much, but.

19
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.239
It becomes like an addiction, right, you know, once you

20
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.000
become like a musician and you just have to have

21
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.159
It's like going to a toy store when you go into.

22
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.560
Exactly exactly and we can stop, we can stop buying

23
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.560
some ship and traying some ants, pedals, guitars and.

24
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.560
Somebody. I'm not even good at it. I suck, and

25
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.519
I still buy lots of toys because I just I got.

26
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.760
I took my grandson recently to Guitar Center, you know,

27
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.959
because he plays guitar, and you know, you want to

28
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.640
look at drums. And the last time I was there,

29
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.959
I got them a keyboard. And then I'm in there

30
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.479
and I'm like, you know, I played drums for nine

31
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.960
years when I was young, but I sucked. But then

32
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.879
I saw these electric drums there and at first I'm

33
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:16.520
like sitting down and I'm like, oh, this would be

34
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.919
like playing on the practice pads. That's why I hated

35
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.319
the drums. But then I put the headphones on and

36
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.360
I was like, oh my god, it's like playing a

37
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.759
real drum set. I need to buy this so I

38
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.120
can play it in my place and nobody will ever

39
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:35.319
complain because I'll never hear it. Yeah. Sure, what started

40
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.759
you out in the beginning of your musical journey? What

41
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.080
was it that got you hooked on music?

42
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.599
Oh, twas my brother Roman, who is the drummer steal

43
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.599
the drummer in the highway. It's my big brother. And

44
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.400
it listened to a lot of music by the time, Hazy, DC,

45
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.639
Anton Roses, all the big bands at that time, and

46
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:12.479
so I loved that music too. I was eighteen eighties,

47
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.199
a eight eight or nine years old at that time,

48
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.919
and I said, all right, let's start a band together

49
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:25.360
because we love that music. It's a part of our life.

50
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.280
We can live without music, so let's play together. So

51
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.039
Highway started when I started playing guitar with my brother

52
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.680
and Roma at the drums, you know. So the story

53
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:43.919
began a long time ago, twenty twenty five years ago

54
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:51.159
when I started playing guitar with my brother. This is

55
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.840
what the big name in rock and roll? So a

56
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.919
CDC and Aerosmith and all this, all this big name.

57
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.759
You know. I gotta tell you too, I was listening

58
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.439
to your new music. Okay, we got a last call

59
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.960
for rock and roll. I love the name of that.

60
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.079
But you guys like you took me back to like

61
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.720
the eighties. So I was a teenager in the eighties

62
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:27.480
on the Sunset Strip, oh yeah, and so it took

63
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.319
me back to that because you guys are just like

64
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:30.160
so much fun.

65
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:36.680
Yeah, we love, we are well full off good vibes

66
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:41.319
and uh we are optimistic, we are uh we want

67
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:48.399
we want that all music sounds fresh, sounds fun. The

68
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:52.720
word is dark and it's darker darker every day. So

69
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.439
for us music ken's rocking and rock and roll can

70
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.920
save the word and and bring some good vibe and

71
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:06.839
fun to people. Yeah, and every everyone in the world

72
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.319
needs good vibes. Yeah, so I don't I can't understand

73
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:17.560
bands playing depressive music or but it's not us, it's

74
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.439
not us. We are fun. We we love to have

75
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.879
fun and our music is fun too, you know, so

76
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:30.240
so but it's it's even if we are not in

77
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:36.079
the eighties anymore. But I think nowadays we need funny

78
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.360
music and uh just want to to to head bang

79
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.879
and uh put your heads up and have fun.

80
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.720
So more than ever, more than ever, like oh my god,

81
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.480
if we can. If there wasn't ever time in history

82
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.120
we need music, it's now. And like there is enough

83
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.639
depressing crap out in the world we don't need we

84
00:05:58.639 --> 00:05:59.920
don't need it necessarily.

85
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.040
Yeah, music can can help us to escape this this

86
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:04.879
this world.

87
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.560
Yeah exactly. You know, when I'm at a concert or

88
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.879
music festival, I don't give a crap what's going on

89
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.040
in politics or what's going on with a the news

90
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.639
crap like and that's what it's there for. It's so

91
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.199
therapy to get away from all that crap.

92
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.279
Exactly. It can help, it can heal, it can everything.

93
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:31.600
So we don't want to sing about the politics or

94
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:32.360
all that craps.

95
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.519
Oh you mean you don't want to sing about the

96
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.199
politics between the US and Canada right now, that's so stupid.

97
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:39.800
It's so.

98
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.319
Our music won't tell about that.

99
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.600
But right like, I don't even get it. Canadians are

100
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.439
like some of the nicest people in the world, you know.

101
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.240
I'm sure, but you know, as I said, we love

102
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:01.279
all the the American culture. We love, uh, the culture

103
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:07.199
of music, movies, liv in France. I'm French guy, and

104
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.759
and uh, since my my young age job, I always

105
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.360
dream loved this American culture.

106
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:21.560
But but maybe today I'm not very problem.

107
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:25.680
I'm not very proud of American I dream right now, you.

108
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.240
Know, right, maybe not today, maybe neither. I like to

109
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:28.959
escape a.

110
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.720
Lot, like I'm looking for one of the next chapter. Uh,

111
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.399
And I can go back to America, you.

112
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.199
Know, And I like like I go on tour, and

113
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.120
I do music festivals all over the US, UK and Europe,

114
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.680
and I love doing hellfest in France. My god, that's

115
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:50.879
the most amazing festival ever. And the first year I

116
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.079
did it, this French girl walked up to me. She

117
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.199
didn't speak munch English at all, but she said, she said,

118
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.839
French women love sex. So I was sold on. I

119
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.000
was sold on France.

120
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:13.480
Yes, yes, but there's different kind of girls in French too. Yeah.

121
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:19.680
Well, it's like anywhere, right, you know, a good choice, right,

122
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.199
it's like anyone. I think it's perception too, like everybody's perception.

123
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.399
That's why I think the whole world should travel to

124
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.800
other cultures and see what it's like outside their bubble,

125
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.759
because you know, wherever you are, you're in this bubble.

126
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.440
You don't realize, you hear what it may be like

127
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.720
somewhere else, but until you experience it. And I do

128
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:45.639
remember the first time I went to France, Paris, specifically,

129
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.279
all the Americans they always like, oh the Parisians are

130
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:56.559
so rude, blah blah blah. And I didn't have that experience.

131
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.440
And I'll tell you why I didn't have that experience

132
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.639
because I took like a two way in two week

133
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.240
blitz course before I went in French, so I could

134
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.440
butcher the language, but at least attempt it. And so

135
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.159
I was doing that, and then I was talking to

136
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.679
one server at a restaurant who basically I just asked him, like,

137
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.320
you know, I heard all this thing that Parisians are rude.

138
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:25.200
I haven't been experiencing at all. Why is that? And

139
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.639
he said to me straight out, because you're not acting

140
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.559
like an Aragan American, like you're you're you're speaking friends

141
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.000
and you're trying to speak French. You're butchering it, but

142
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.799
at least you're attempting, like a lot of the Americans

143
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.480
they come over here and they assume we all speak English,

144
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:44.519
and like, I totally get that, Like, but that is

145
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.039
how it is when you grow up in another country,

146
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.480
like you grow up in the United States, you seem

147
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.200
to think everybody in the world speaks English, you know,

148
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.159
and it just doesn't work that way. So, you know,

149
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:02.399
I think that would solve a lot of world's problems

150
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:05.440
if you if it was like a requirement to travel

151
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.559
and experience other cultures, because then we can understand each

152
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.519
other instead of what we think or what the media

153
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.320
feeds us or or whatever it is. Because people are

154
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:23.720
just people. There's assholes in every right, there's assholes in

155
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.559
every country. There's nice people in every country. You can't

156
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.320
judge by where it is, you know, and listen, when

157
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.279
you have a festival like health Fest, to me, that's.

158
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:35.840
Like, it's a beautiful festival.

159
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.840
Oh my god. Yeah, it's insane.

160
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.399
It's not only music, it's an experience.

161
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.200
Like it's ever since I've gone that first year, Like,

162
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.720
and it's funny too. I hope the other one don't hear.

163
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.200
But every year, you know, Graspop and health Fest are

164
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.360
at the same weekend, and except for a couple of

165
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.600
years ago, and so every year I would pick Hellfest

166
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:04.720
because I went there, I loved it, I knew where

167
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:08.360
it was ray and then you know, so one year,

168
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.519
a couple of years ago, they were on separate weekends,

169
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.879
and so I decided to apply for media credential for

170
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.519
grass Pop. Now I can check it out and I

171
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:21.159
can tell you after that, like grass Pop was a

172
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.919
great festival, but hell Fest just takes it to a

173
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.000
whole other level compared to any festival I've ever been

174
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.639
at anywhere in the world. It's like, yeah, great, Like

175
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.120
you said, it's an experience. We're lucky, We're lucky to

176
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.720
have this festival in friends and the food like there

177
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:43.360
ain't I tell you, food is normally crap at US festivals. Okay,

178
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.480
it's like going to the fair, but but you go

179
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.799
to hellfest and it's like, oh my god, like this

180
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.759
is like gourmet food here.

181
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:56.080
You know, friends and food are so I'll very get

182
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.279
a closing importance.

183
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.360
No doubt, no doubt that. So how how do you

184
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:08.000
perceive how the world sees your music? How would you

185
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.279
perceive it that? How how do you think other people

186
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.519
perceive it around the world?

187
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.879
With this new record, particularly Highway, it's it's rock. It's

188
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:23.279
rock rock music. But it's not seem just a rock band.

189
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.639
You know, it's not an Australian rock band. It's not

190
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.840
a Brittonic rock band. It's not a California rock and roll.

191
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:32.879
It's it's rock and roll in this fullest, you know,

192
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.440
with a lot of influences. You can hear some queen

193
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.519
inside airs me says. This is some fresh music. There

194
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.799
is some pop harmony, There is a lot of stuff

195
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:47.720
inside of music, and there is a lot of fun.

196
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:55.200
As you said, our music is optimistic, positive and just

197
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.080
if you if you won't have a good time, you

198
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:04.120
can listen to this new album. So it's it's like

199
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.960
a rock and roll rainbow. You know, there's a lot

200
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.360
of stuff inside.

201
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:12.480
Yeah, totally. I feel that too. From listening to it,

202
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.279
it was like it's just so and watching I was

203
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.200
watching videos here, so I'm like, man, they just look

204
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.320
like they're having so much fun, and I think that's.

205
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:20.879
Yeah, weird.

206
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.879
Yeah, it's so important. Like I see bands sometimes at

207
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.840
shows and they just look like they're not having a

208
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.639
good time at all. And if you're not having a

209
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:34.360
good time in music, it's the wrong industry, okay, exactly,

210
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.120
Like a lot of the industry sucks, so the good

211
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.000
time should be on stage exactly.

212
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.159
It's it's it's more of the music industry, if it

213
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:50.639
exists anymore, it's not fun and it's very tough, very rough,

214
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:57.679
very harsh. So we play music because we love that,

215
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.360
because we need to play music. We need to share

216
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:06.159
of patient and of fun to people. Because when when

217
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:12.519
I play guitar on stage, it's it's my favorite moments.

218
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:16.720
It's I love that. I love this, and uh, I

219
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.519
will always love that. I play guitars in a band

220
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.960
for twenty years now and I still love that. I

221
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:27.440
still love that. And even if there is a one

222
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.519
hundred person in the audience. It's my dream, you know,

223
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:33.639
it's I love that. I love that.

224
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.080
So you can tell even by the background I have

225
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.879
here of your band, like you can just tell by

226
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.120
the picture you guys are fun.

227
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.759
Yeah, we have fact that's us exactly.

228
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.679
That says it all. That picture says it all right there,

229
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:58.240
yeah exactly. So tell us a little bit about what

230
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.720
really this newest album. How is it the same as

231
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.679
previous music you've done? How is it different?

232
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:11.559
That's still us, It's still our voice, still are it's

233
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.360
still are all our influences, our way way to to view,

234
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.200
visualize of music. But it's it's the level up in

235
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.279
terms of production, in terms of songwriting, in terms of

236
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:31.919
vocal harmonies. We worked a lot on on all these

237
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:37.679
aspects of our music, and particularly the melodies and the

238
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.919
vocals harmonies. We we listened to a lot of Queen

239
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:49.480
and Dath Report and actually new bands in rock. I

240
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:55.159
think the the the vocal lines and harmonies it's missing

241
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.919
in new rock now. So we we wanted to uh

242
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:04.519
to uh have a different aspects of of our rock

243
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:09.240
and roll adding this all these vocal harmonies. Yeah, so

244
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.200
I think it's new for us, and I think it's

245
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:19.399
what's this what can be recognized able to sound and

246
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.279
our bands. You know, we worked a lot with our

247
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:28.000
producer who his name is Brett Caldaslima. He's a well

248
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:32.799
known French producer in rock and metal music, and we

249
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.720
we worked a lot on on the sound and uh,

250
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.200
I think it's it's a very very good sounding album

251
00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:45.919
because of its work with with with Brett caldas Lima. Yeah.

252
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:51.080
Nice. And and you got this this track that I

253
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.600
that was. I loved the video for Bang Bang Bang Bank.

254
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:58.600
Yeah, a lot of that time too. It's funny, it's

255
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:06.640
so much it was, it's very groovy, it's uh the

256
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.359
video is going. It's a funny song because it's uh,

257
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:14.720
you talk about the cliche of of rock star, of

258
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:19.319
the the the the life that we can fantasize of

259
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.599
rock star, and uh it's a song about the dubbed

260
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.160
it's a song about the inner conflicts of choice in life.

261
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:33.799
But it's very cynically and humorously uh vision of that.

262
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.279
So it's a it's a funny song, but it's uh

263
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.440
vision of this rock star cliche.

264
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:50.240
You know. Yeah, and rocks don't really exist anymore like

265
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:57.319
that whole thing doesn't really exist and now the previous century.

266
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:03.039
Exactly so, but it's it's so the video was so

267
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.440
much fun to to shot. Yeah, we had a lot

268
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.319
of a lot of fun shooting this video. Yeah, so

269
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:16.359
if you don't have seen, uh, Bank Bank is a

270
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.279
good one.

271
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.000
There you go. Is there anything else you want to

272
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:24.039
share with our listeners about you guys and your new

273
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:25.920
your new album that we.

274
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:32.400
Have, Yeah, Lasco for rock and roll. It's twelve brand

275
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:37.240
new tracks, very different and with a lot of a

276
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:42.359
lot of moods and a lot of influences that but

277
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.079
at the end, it's only good vibe rock and roll

278
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:49.920
and please listen to it, buy it, share it because

279
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:54.279
rocket the world needs good vibe rock and roll, you know.

280
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.119
Yeah, and that is that is my favorite part, is

281
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:03.480
the fact that you know, you have continue to do

282
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.880
something that kind of has disappeared, and that is just

283
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.720
good old rock and roll. Forget all the sub genres,

284
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:15.440
micro genres, bullshit division labeling. It's just good rock and roll.

285
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.599
Yeah, and I don't I don't like this all this

286
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:24.759
sub germal level. It's just rock and uh it's rock

287
00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:30.720
with good melody and good vibe. So it's it's simple.

288
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.680
It's simple to have a good time. Yeah, but but

289
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:40.039
it's uh, it still sounds fresh, and it's not it's

290
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:45.000
not eighties music. It's rock from from now but totally

291
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.039
exactly so it's not nostilegic music. It's just good rock

292
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:51.480
and roll.

293
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:55.839
So that's it. That's it. That's what. We're on the

294
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.319
highway to good rock and roll. We're no longer on

295
00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:01.359
the highway to Hell, now in the Highway to good

296
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:02.079
rock and roll.

297
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.839
Exactly. Well, that's where we are.
