00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.320
If you can see the video, I see all the

13
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:46.159
signs he's throwing.

14
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:52.280
Oh yeah, he's definitely like he's down with the sickness.

15
00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:00.640
So how's it feel playing at Shawn Shank Prison with

16
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:02.840
a fire festival?

17
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.439
Does heat in humidity.

18
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.799
All things considered, with the weather and the craziness that's

19
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.239
happening with that, It's been such a good day so far.

20
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.000
I'm stoked to be at this site in general because

21
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.319
I'm a big Shawshank fan, but.

22
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.079
Yeah, this is sick. Stoked to be here.

23
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:20.159
Yeah, I can't wait to go on the ghost tour.

24
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.840
It's pretty metal. All the stuff's happening where we're at too.

25
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.280
It kind of helped us to you because to push

26
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:25.560
the show back a little bit and we got to

27
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.000
play to a lot more people, and I think they

28
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.400
were just very eager to see a band from waiting

29
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:30.959
in the sun for so long.

30
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.319
So the crowd was awesome.

31
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:33.439
See I love that.

32
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:35.840
But that's true of a women or festival away, Like

33
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.680
it doesn't matter what time in a day, the crowd

34
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.760
is here for it. They don't even have to know

35
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.200
the band, And I love that.

36
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.400
Yeah, we experienced that like our first ever Wimmerfest, which

37
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.319
was Louder than Life last year, and we like, I

38
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.159
think we played at like eleven thirty that day. We

39
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:52.760
were like, man, I hope people show up and then

40
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:54.599
like we go on and it's just packed and they're

41
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:55.439
like ready to party.

42
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.040
So I think where I feel on it.

43
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.959
I think I talked to you at that one. It

44
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.640
all swirls around. I had at this point, but uh yeah,

45
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.879
I mean what a cool place. Like to your point,

46
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.919
my daughter she'll call me up before every festival and

47
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.319
she'll be like, so dead you excited to go to

48
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.639
this festival. I'm like, I don't know if excite it's

49
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.560
a word. I love doing it. It's a lot of fun,

50
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.680
but when you do it every weekend, is it exciting.

51
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.840
But the first year I did incarceration, I was out

52
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.800
in the prison yard what was the prison yard.

53
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.759
And I called her up. Now I'm excited.

54
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.360
I'm calling you from the prison yard of Shawshank. And

55
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.719
then I was taking pictures of the prison and some

56
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.479
other dude that was a band was taking pictures of prison.

57
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.439
He goes, hey, can you take my picture? I'll take

58
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.039
your picture. Look at us. We're fanboying out on Shawshank Prison.

59
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.639
And that's really it. I'm more fanboying about the prison

60
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.639
than any band playing, one hundred percent.

61
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:49.199
It's so sick.

62
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.960
We're just we're stoked to experience like all these when

63
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.919
we'refests and just see how different they are, and like

64
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.120
how the culture is and it's just been so good.

65
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:57.000
So we're happy to be here.

66
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.719
It is wild how different the festivals are too, right,

67
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.840
because I do all the Wimmer festivals and it's a

68
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.280
different vibe at everyone, and that's what I really like

69
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.719
about it. You're not going to the same festival every time.

70
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.960
What do you guys think? Uh, what what else do

71
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.000
you want to add about your experience here in prison?

72
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.159
Are you excited to be in prison? Did you bring

73
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:19.199
your soap on the rope.

74
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.039
Definitely won't be dropping it, but I'm definitely I'm really

75
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.280
I'm really stoked to be here, and I'm a big

76
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.360
Shawshank fan myself, so I think after these interviews were

77
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:29.520
definitely gonna go take.

78
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:29.960
A little tour.

79
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.159
I heard they like lock you in a cell for

80
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.039
a little bit, turn the lights off, and like apparently

81
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.479
you like feel like ghosts all around.

82
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.560
It's a it is normal experience.

83
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.120
It is haunted here, so when you do the like

84
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.319
the blood prison thing, you're not really sure if when

85
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.879
you're getting haunted it's one of the characters or a

86
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:47.879
real ghost.

87
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:49.759
Okay, that's kind of the alert to it.

88
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:49.960
You know.

89
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.879
It's a cool experience. But in terms of the Whimmer festivals, yeah,

90
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:54.879
we've been very stoked.

91
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:55.599
We played three of them.

92
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.360
Now, we played Louder than Life, Welcome to Rockville, then

93
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.919
now this one, and uh, it's just been each one

94
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.000
of them is an incredible experience. So we're just really

95
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.639
happy to be here and hopefully we can play a

96
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.039
bunch more nice.

97
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.080
What do you think about driving on the Daytona Speedway

98
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.199
to go do your set?

99
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:12.759
That was wild to me.

100
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.520
I never I never saw one before to see how

101
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.759
like angled. It was like, you have to be going

102
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.920
so fast not to just fall in that it's crazy eighty.

103
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.199
You have to go a minimum of eighty to make

104
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.759
that turn and not fall off the wall. And then

105
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:31.079
also so like I live in Florida, so that's the

106
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.560
one that I drive to. And I told Christine, who

107
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.040
I introduced you to before that runs media here, I'm like, hey,

108
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.759
I got my skateboard in the cheap well, I lose

109
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.360
my media credential if I skateboard down the wall And

110
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.800
she's like, yeah, probably, Okay, I'll wait till after it's over.

111
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:50.399
Yeah.

112
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.360
I was thinking the same thing because I brought my

113
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.639
board on that tour and I was like, man, I

114
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.560
want to bring it out there so bad, but like,

115
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.480
what's gonna happen to me if I do?

116
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.079
You know, listen, you look at that wall. It's not

117
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.399
what it looks like on TV. And definitely if I

118
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.800
went down the wall my board I would have broken

119
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:07.959
many bones.

120
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.560
Yeah, I probably would have would have eaten sher real bad.

121
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.720
How about you? How you feel being here? Except how

122
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:15.600
that's fucking hell?

123
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:21.480
I feel I feel good. I want some ghost to bussy.

124
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.680
I'm trying to get some ghost bussy here, all right?

125
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.839
You know anything about that? I don't know if there

126
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:30.319
were women in this uh ah man, oh wait wait,

127
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.680
I'm gonna get cranked. I just thought of something.

128
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.040
There is a ghost in here that is possibly the

129
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:38.279
warden's wife.

130
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.480
I'll take it. So there you go. It's an easy

131
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.120
sound on tour. I know, right, how about you? What's

132
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:47.480
your favorite part of being here.

133
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.480
I'm a big music guy and tech guy, and I

134
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.360
don't know. I just I just love that whole aspect

135
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.639
of it. Obviously, the prison's really sick, and I'm stoked

136
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.680
to go on a ghost tour too. But the whole

137
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.040
thing has been uh incredible.

138
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.720

I'm keeping that that's gonna be one of my like

I'll make a reel out of that good good, love it.

145
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.839
It'll be on TikTok, just repeating over and over again.

146

That'll be if not for me, his viral moment right there.

So each of you tell me how this all happened, Like,

148
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.360
you know, how did music become your life and how

149
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.839
did togetherness music become your life?

150
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.279
Yeah, for me, I got into music a little bit

151
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:50.959
later than I wish I would have.

152
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.639
I was probably like fourteen or fifteen or.

153
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.000
So, what are you doing? Well?

154
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.399
I was I was a sports kid growing up, No

155
00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.879
was I, but yeah, shilted me.

156
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:01.120
I was a big.

157
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.360
Sports kid, and I like grew up on like nineties country,

158
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.920
which I still love, but like I didn't really know

159
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.680
what any of this stuff was. And then when I

160
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.720
was like fourteen or fifteen, I went to like a

161
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.480
local show at a rec center in my little town.

162
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.600
I didn't know what it was, Like my friends were going,

163
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.439
so I was like, Okay, I'll go. And it was

164
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.639
the band that played was Texas in July, and they

165
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.399
were just like ripping it for these like thirty kids

166
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.199
in this rec center and it was the coolest thing

167
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:26.800
I had ever seen in my life. And like from

168
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.480
then on it was just like all metalcore. Like I

169
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.319
got a guitar, I started playing in bands, and it

170
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.040
was just that was life changing for me.

171
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:34.279
It was the first time I had ever.

172
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.160
Heard like screaming vocals and like heavy stuff and like

173
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.439
it was been in a mosh pit and like all

174
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.920
that kind of stuff, and it was like a door

175
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:42.600
opened for me.

176
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:47.560
That'll definitely do it. Number one, number two, like it.

177
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:52.199
Nobody really understands until you get in that first mosh

178
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:53.519
pit what that does for you.

179
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:54.639
Absolutely.

180
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.600
So when I was young, I actually wasn't into music

181
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.279
at all until I was like eighteen, I didn't play

182
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.279
any instruments. I was really into a lot of the

183
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.519
early metalcore happening at the time. I think that's what

184
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.160
got me to like really want to start playing music.

185
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.600
And honestly, the only reason I was able to start

186
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.560
music is because I had an old neighbor was this

187
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.240
old guy who like used to play like blues guitar

188
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.680
and stuff, and he ended up passing away, but he

189
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.759
left his guitar to me. So that's how I started

190
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.959
playing guitar. And then from there I just you know,

191
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.200
made some local bands with some friends. Those things kind

192
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:36.080
of fell through. Eventually met Hayden where he asked me

193
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:37.919
to join if not for me, and I've been in

194
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.879
the band ever since and I would not look back.

195
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.240
How about you?

196
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.679
So for me, I actually I started with the saxophone

197
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.600
when I was in like uh, I was in like

198
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.720
fourth grade. Actually, my wanted to play drums. My parents

199
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.399
wouldn't let me for whatever reason. And then eventually I

200
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.600
just kind of started doing it anyway, and my grandparents

201
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.200
got me a drum kid. Then I remember my dad

202
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.480
took me to go see August Burne read. We were

203
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.320
at Myrtle Beach and we were playing. They were playing

204
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.519
at the House of Blues and I just remember watching that.

205
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.000
I've never seen anything like it. It just kind of

206
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.000
changed my life. I just remember looking at that being like,

207
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:09.360
that is what I want to do. I don't know

208
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.679
how I'm gonna do it, but I'm gonna do that.

209
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.559
So started playing drums more and more, started to make

210
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.600
a I made a band in high school. It went

211
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.120
all throughout college and stuff. Then that wan broke up,

212
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.799
made new band, that band broke up, started booking shows,

213
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.320
started doing all sorts of other things, like working in

214
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.240
the music industry. I met Hayden from him doing sounds.

215
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.960
I met Patty and Zach from other bands they were in.

216
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.799
Eventually our three bands ended up breaking up. We were

217
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.279
pretty big in our in our own music scene individually,

218
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.000
and then pretty much like the people who want to

219
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.440
keep doing this. I'm a firm believer, gonna make it happen.

220
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.399
So we ended up just in different times joining if

221
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.000
not for me Hayden's high school project, and now it

222
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:47.879
is what it is now here in twenty twenty six

223
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.120
and we're playing a incarceration stuff. That was the short

224
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:52.799
blunt version, but save time.

225
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.720
Here's a that is badass up to you now.

226
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.360
So I started playing guitar, the guitar and piano actually

227
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.080
when I was like seven or eight, and I've been

228
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.799
playing ever since. My dad played guitar when he was

229
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:15.120
younger and still does and he kind of taught me.

230
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.960
I learned from YouTube, I don't know, just picking up

231
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:23.960
my own stuff too, and eventually I started listening to

232
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.519
like heavier music, kind of heavier. It was like even sevenfold,

233
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.759
shine down, stuff like that.

234
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.639
And Glad you added the kind.

235
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.480
Of kind of yeah, and uh, I don't know it

236
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.679
just kind of started jamming with friends and stuff like that,

237
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.200
and it turned more and more serious. I knew that

238
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.919
that's kind of what I wanted to do, and uh yeah,

239
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.679
just got more serious every time and been here ever since.

240
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:52.639
Love it, love it.

241
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.639
And by way, I put my grandson in his first

242
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.840
mosh pit, it was August Burn's Red.

243
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.639
Oh that's sick. Yeah, they're from our home well our

244
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.720
home state at least they're from Lancaster. We're from like Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

245
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.120
Nice funny story about them. Actually, first time I interviewed him,

246
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.120
Like sometimes I'll say before the interview, like I'm not

247
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.519
gonna ask any stupid questions like how did you get.

248
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.879
Your band name? And he goes, well, you're lucky to

249
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:23.879
see that girl next to you. She asked us that question.

250
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.519
Everybody asked us a question.

251
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:29.919
We fuck with them and we make a different story

252
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:30.919
up every time.

253
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:32.000
So we think about doing that too.

254
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:33.559
You're gonna love.

255
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:38.320
This, they go, and you should, because listen, I want

256
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.559
to slip my throat when I hear other press people

257
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.720
asking that question, you know, so I feel bad for artists.

258
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:50.320
But they go, well, my sister got this dog when

259
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.519
we were teenagers.

260
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:53.559
We decided to name it August.

261
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.759
We were outside in the front of the house partying

262
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.679
one day and we decided it would be funny to

263
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.159
light August on fire and watch August run down the street.

264
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.679
Ergo August Burn's Red. I love it, And they're like

265
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.000
and we had a toll straight face on and.

266
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.240
You should have seen the look of horror.

267
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.840
On her face. And I'm like, well she deserved it.

268
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.279
Don't ask that question.

269
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:19.879
It's crazy.

270
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.759
Now if they say that, every press article would be

271
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.559
like Yo, August Burn's reds lighting dogs on fire and stuff,

272
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:26.600
you know, like it's funny.

273
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.440
How you time's the change?

274
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.720
I know, I mean, you know what's funny is that

275
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.559
stuff that they do. It does get spread around social media,

276
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.639
and you know, people are stupid nowadays. They don't research.

277
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.440
They just take the ball run with it. I could

278
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.000
sit there and say that I was, you know, an

279
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:50.639
astronaut and I did an interview with Metallica on Mars

280
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.879
and it was really cool, and all of a sudden

281
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:58.840
people would be sharing it and believing it. So what

282
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:00.879
do you got going on now? Way do you want

283
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.919
tell the listeners we haven't covered already and tell them

284
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.080
also your socials and all that information, and then tell

285
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.879
them how you get the merch because they can't listen

286
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:12.320
to my show unless they buy your merch.

287
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:13.320
Beautiful.

288
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:15.799
Yeah, all our social media should just be under like

289
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.159
if not for me, we have Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube,

290
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.639
all that good stuff, and there's a link in our

291
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.080
bio on all of those that will bring you to

292
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.919
like our merch store and our website and our label's

293
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.879
website and all of the songs that we've released so far.

294
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.559
But other than that, we have a brand new record

295
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.399
called When the Light Begins to Fade that's gonna come

296
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.320
out on August fourteenth that we are so stoked to share.

297
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:41.919
And then we'll be touring in the fall with our

298
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.480
friends and Windwalkers, which we just dropped a song with

299
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:45.159
them today.

300
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.240
So very stoked about all that.

301
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:48.799
That's so cool.

302
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:52.080
Absolutely, I love it, and everybody needs to go and

303
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.120
buy the album forget to streaming it, only stream it,

304
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:57.240
but buy it too.

305
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.159
Yeah, pre order the vinyls.

306
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.879
There's some really sick vinyls and and sick merchant stuff

307
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:04.399
that I feel like reflects the artwork really well.

308
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:05.679
So very stoked about that.

309
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.600
Well, you guys freaking rock. I love that you're here

310
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.840
