00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.679
Hey, you have done too, Yes, that's true.

00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:22.359
Why crazy Young? This is pipe Man here on the

00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:25.920
here with hi.

5
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.800
I'm Luca from Morton Fires, I'm Darryl from Mortum Fires

6
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:32.359
and Callum from One Fires.

7
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.560
Are you sure you're all from that band?

8
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.200
We think stragglers on the way.

9
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.840
There you go. So you're here at fucking download. That's

10
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.280
cool as hell. And I heard there's stuff going on

11
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.240
with Kerrang and all this cool stuff, so let's talk

12
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:48.679
about that.

13
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.840
Yeah, I mean we got here from winning the deal.

14
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.960
I'm not sort of aware of the competition. It was

15
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.240
a thing where we had to submit it to submit

16
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.399
our band, and then it was through a voting system

17
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.200
through fans, and then once we got shortlisted to the

18
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.560
final it was like from ten bands and then from

19
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.719
there they chose us as a winning band, and from

20
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.239
what we've heard is unanimous vote.

21
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.079
Apparently. I think we've done pretty well.

22
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.879
So you guys are pretty good? Then, I guess yeah,

23
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:13.400
you got.

24
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.079
To say yeah, you got to say yeah.

25
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.159
What really? Well, where did it feel like when they

26
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:18.000
said that to you?

27
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:19.560
Amazing?

28
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.159
I think like, well, there's a video on nine that

29
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.480
Koran did post of all of us crying straight away

30
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.400
just oh my god, like yeah, the reaction with for us,

31
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:28.879
I think, yea, it was incredible.

32
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.640
Nice. So how many years did it take you to

33
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.120
win that? Oh?

34
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:34.799
Past?

35
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.959
This one's of calumn actually, because don't touch I mean

36
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.480
four years, you know, we've been going four and a

37
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.200
half or so something like that years.

38
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.200
I never remember if it was twenty twenty or twenty

39
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:46.560
twenty one.

40
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.079
Well that's pretty good though, Yeah, okay, because I always

41
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.959
say it takes twenty years to become an overnight success.

42
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:53.239
You did it in four.

43
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:53.959
Sounds about right.

44
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.560
Yeah, twenty years is a pretty solid solid number, I think, yeah, right,

45
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.719
But yeah, I mean we started in lockdown over Covid.

46
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.280
If we all remember that tragedy that that was for

47
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:04.680
eighteen months.

48
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.280
I'm trying to forget. I still have trauma from it.

49
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.960
Yeah, same, same, you know, we didn't gig for eighteen months.

50
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.759
We started, and then two weeks later Lockdown, So you

51
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.800
know it was I've.

52
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.159
Heard a lot of stories like that band started and

53
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.360
then Lockdown, like they didn't even really do a gig

54
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:28.039
yet and lock Down. But there's a positive I found

55
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.879
of Covid I've said it for years. It gave artists

56
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:37.039
a chance to jump off the hamster wheel of constant constant,

57
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.800
no time for anything, meet dead line, blah blah blah,

58
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.800
and not be creative anymore. That you had time to

59
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.719
slow down and create the music you really wanted to

60
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.680
create instead of partially.

61
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.680
Yeah, and I think this's the same for us. I

62
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.199
think we've really capitalized on that. You know, we've been

63
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.759
releasing music that we all really enjoy and it seems

64
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:01.400
like a lot of our you know, we've got an

65
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.759
amazing fang group and they love it as well, you know,

66
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.879
so it's it's clearly gone down well. And yeah, the

67
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.479
time that we've had with Lockdown, I think we've used

68
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:11.960
it pretty pretty effectively.

69
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.400
That's what shortened the twenty years to the four.

70
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:15.080
Yeah.

71
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.719
Maybe, yeah, take the lockdown for you. Yeah, like, thank

72
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:23.520
god it happened. But I have also another philosophy. I'm like,

73
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.159
that's why everybody's so angry and pissed off and all

74
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.039
this shit going on in the world because we had

75
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:33.479
no live music for two years. What the fuck you

76
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.719
need that for therapy?

77
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:36.520
Yeah?

78
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.599
Yeah, I mean we had shows booked in, we had

79
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.319
holidays and it was all of a sudden, just can't

80
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:42.400
go and as.

81
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.199
Somebody that said, ten d I have no mashpit to

82
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.039
get my shit out, so I want to beat the

83
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:52.360
shit out of people, right at least you're honest. Yeah,

84
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.240
I mean, like, that's the beauty of the pit is

85
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.680
you get all your shit out. So people think, oh,

86
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.520
you got people going in to hurt people. No, that's

87
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.639
where it goes, so you won't hurt people.

88
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.479
Most baces are some of the actual nicest people, no doubt.

89
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.680
Like I remember being in one years ago about a

90
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.759
bank called Chunk, no Captain Chunk, and it was just

91
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.439
one of the like there's a guy with big old

92
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.639
dreadlocks that just hit someone of them to be like,

93
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:19.519
oh my god, I'm so sorry, you know, and you've

94
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.079
just got these beatdowns going on.

95
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.639
It's a lovely player.

96
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:22.959
Yeah.

97
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.480
Everyone thinks it's gonna be painful and stuff. Yeah, it

98
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:26.079
can happen.

99
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.279
But let me tell you a story. What ABA download.

100
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.759
A couple of years ago during to Bring Me the

101
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.759
Horizon set, there was this it's always the big dudes.

102
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.399
There was this really big dude that came into a pit.

103
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.079
He wasn't there to pit, he was there to hurt people,

104
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.480
and like they always go after the little people, and like,

105
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.120
you're stupid because I'm a little person. I'm gonna come

106
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.279
around that pit. I'm gonna sink down like Mike Tyson

107
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.319
and lunge up with my elbow and I'll be on

108
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:56.920
the OtherSide of pit before you even.

109
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.759
Know who it was, you know, the very mysterio.

110
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.279
Yeah, but what happened was is he was going there

111
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:08.279
bullying people and then this one dude that was bigger

112
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.319
than him walked up to him and goes, why you

113
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.240
pick on somebody your own size, And then everybody ganged

114
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:18.519
up and they didn't hurt the dude. They removed him

115
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.399
and banned them from the pit. And that dude, it's funny,

116
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.560
mister tough guy, he all of a sudden was scared

117
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.480
because he was on the outside of pit, and he

118
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.560
didn't dare come back in again. That's what the pit's about.

119
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.240
We all protect each other. We're family. Somebody falls, you

120
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.399
pick him up. I was at what was it, punk

121
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.800
rock bowling a couple of weeks ago. I lost my

122
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.560
shoe in the pit. Somebody got it for me. You know,

123
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.120
I didn't have to go get smashed on the foot

124
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.720
to go to find it. They're like this girl, it

125
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.560
was a girl. Actually she goes she goes, hey, go, uh,

126
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.120
I saw your shoe. I'm like, cool, where is it? Oh,

127
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.720
I'll go get it for you. That's what happens in

128
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:04.040
the pit.

129
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.600
Yeah, that's a nice person, right, And.

130
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.360
That's the way it should be. You know, we're all

131
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.360
big family, and I think that's something that also causes

132
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:20.120
bands like you to win competitions like that, not just musicianship,

133
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.079
but also the attitude.

134
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.319
M M. And I'd like to think that we're our

135
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.240
attitude on that on this side of things, I think

136
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.920
I think we're all almost like a family.

137
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.199
We're not just ourselves. But with with.

138
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.079
The crowd and our fans, you know, like we got

139
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.560
some nice crowd interactions bits, you know, one of them.

140
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.959
You know, it's it's really good fun. I mean to

141
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.759
hear people shout it back to us today. Honestly, it

142
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.399
was amazing. But yeah, I like, yeah, honestly, it wasn't.

143
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.720
It was like my my inneer pack had died annoyingly

144
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.519
for that song, and it was literally all I could

145
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.600
hear during that part. You've just got the band and

146
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.639
then it's just straight back at us, you know, and

147
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.160
it was it was a amazing you know, such a

148
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.360
good feeling. But yeah, I like to think that we're

149
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.720
we're right on the attitude side of things, that we

150
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.360
are connected with sort of everyone that we meet.

151
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.519
So let's talk a little bit about your music for

152
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.079
listeners have never heard you. How would you describe your music?

153
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.920
And don't use a genre because I hate locking bands

154
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:21.959
into a genre.

155
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.120
Okay, well, so without using the genre.

156
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.480
You can use one if you want. But like I

157
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.879
think I'm not looking for that. I'm not looking for

158
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:37.959
you to say, well, we are micro post apalytic micro metal.

159
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:38.319
No.

160
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.680
I think obviously we are a pop punk band. I

161
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.040
think our main focus is all on like live energy,

162
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.040
especially in the shows.

163
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:46.439
We're all best mates.

164
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.680
I think people can see that, like watching us even today,

165
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.360
like you can just see that we're all having a

166
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.959
good time together. We bounce off each other really well.

167
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.600
It does come across live well, I feel like it

168
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.319
does that way. You've just watching about videos all like

169
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.720
feedback from fans and fact frame family, Like we always

170
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.519
get a good reception. So I think what we're trying

171
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:05.639
to do is getting perceived well.

172
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.560
And you know, when you get a little older, you

173
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.000
have a little different attitude. I'm old school and like

174
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.040
I was always like when I was younger, fucking pop punk.

175
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:20.399
That's not punk, Okay, punk is the antithesis of pop what?

176
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:20.839
What the hell?

177
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:27.639
However, as a stupid, freaking philosophy, for two reasons, One

178
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.160
is why don't we want to bring music that's so

179
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.879
important that sends important message to the masses opposed to

180
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.240
the handful of people that can't make the difference. That's

181
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:44.440
number one. Number two. Green Day was here last night. Yeah,

182
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.919
first time I saw Green Day, I'm like, holy shit,

183
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.679
they are fucking good. And last night I ran out

184
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.919
here from an interview. I'm running through the crowd. I'm American.

185
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.639
Their first song's American idiot. Yeah, and I'm like screaming,

186
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.519
I don't want to be an American idiot, you know.

187
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:08.080
So I'm like, actually thankful for bands like you that

188
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.240
you know. That's why I say to John or pop

189
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.360
punk is not what people think it means.

190
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.720
No, I think it's a very.

191
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.919
It's a it's a happy place, but it's like it's

192
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.080
for everyone, And like you said, like the word makes

193
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.840
it sound a lot worse than it is, but give us,

194
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:26.639
give us a chance.

195
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:28.039
You'll understand.

196
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.639
And when you say the energy that's yeah, especially yeah

197
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.080
live show that's total punk. Yeah, the energy of a

198
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:36.879
live show that you guys put on.

199
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.240
It's still stuff you can mush to jump arown, have

200
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:39.919
good fun.

201
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.240
No doubt. I was in the Green Day Pit.

202
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.519
Yeah, you know it on the big on the big screens.

203
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:45.120
It was crazy.

204
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.840
So what was even cooler is that Welcome, Welcome to Rockville.

205
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.240
Last month, I took my grandson into the Green Day

206
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.639
Pit because that's his favorite band.

207
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.559
That's sick. That's so good.

208
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.000
So tell people how they can reach out to you

209
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.720
on social, on the net. Buy your merch that's important.

210
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:04.519
They can't listen to my show, and let's say buy

211
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:06.600
your merch. Well, we got some stuff.

212
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:07.480
We do have some flies.

213
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.720
We'll probably be walking out today handing out people. It's

214
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.360
got a Q arch eyed on it, it's got a

215
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:17.120
Spotify and merch on there, on Instagram, Autumn fis UK, Facebook, Yeah,

216
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.200
we're on everything, so plug it nice.

217
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.240
Well, do you have any final words for our listeners.

218
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.799
We're just grateful to be here. We're trying to everything

219
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.519
we can, so we really appreciate.

220
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.039
Well, we're glad you're here. You're like the highlight of Download.

221
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:36.519
Of course I tell everybody that, but no, there you go.

222
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.519
But I think everybody is to highlight Download because without

223
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.279
bands like you and every other band on here, this

224
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.960
wouldn't be the most amazing festival it is. So thanks

225
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.080
for being here, and thanks for being on the Adventures

226
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:51.200
