here on the Adventures pipe Man at Punk Rock Bowling

5
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.399
here on W four C Y Radio, and I'm here

6
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.319
with I'm Richard from Bullshit Detector. And that's not your

7
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.799
music in the background, that's Youth Brigade. That is that

8
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.640
that'll be your background for the interview, right, But I

9
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.560
caught you guys at the set earlier, and you guys

10
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.400
are badass. Maybe you could tell our listeners a little

11
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.359
bit about your band and what you're all about.

12
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.719
All right on, Yeah, we've been Bullshit Detector has been around.

13
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.560
It was a pandemic project that I started just recording

14
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.000
songs in my bedroom like maybe twenty nineteen or something

15
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:29.319
like that.

16
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:29.879
Nice.

17
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.959
We didn't really have any aspirations to do anything crazy

18
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.599
with it, but after we started playing shows, it started

19
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.040
like catching a little bit of high, you know. Built

20
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.159
from there, we really just wanted to do like really

21
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.680
dark sounding, OI influenced punk, so you have like post

22
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.680
punk and like death rock elements and stuff like that.

23
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.120
So that was the deal, you know, and I love

24
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.560
that you came out of the pandemic, because I've said

25
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.799
that some of the best music is going to come

26
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.519
out of the pandemic because artists finally have a chance

27
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.200
to be creative instead of being on the hamster wheel,

28
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.920
you know, writing songs in between gigs.

29
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.680
No, I think I think you're right, because I mean,

30
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.879
with with the lockdown in Texas, I couldn't really do

31
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.800
a whole hell of a lot of stuff. And yeah,

32
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.639
just started writing stuff for sure.

33
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.560
And there's a lot to talk about nowadays. Like you

34
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.360
would think I'm from the eighties scene, and you would

35
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.360
think we wouldn't have to still be talking about the

36
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.840
same shit in songs, and it's almost worse now.

37
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.280
Yeah, dude, it is worse. And like I think of

38
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.599
punk rock, man, punk rock was such a big deal

39
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.719
to me when I was a kid because I was

40
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.439
a fucking weirdo and shit, I didn't fit anywhere else.

41
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.240
And when I found it, it was like I came home.

42
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:44.199
Yeah.

43
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.240
And so in this like political environment and when you

44
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.159
like vote with your dollar and you cast votes in

45
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.960
like an election, like you should be thinking about the

46
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.919
other fucking weirdos that you've got into the scene with,

47
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.560
Like any people on the fringe on the outside, like

48
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.599
people of color, queer folks, everybody like you need to

49
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:06.639
be thinking about the fact that they're a part of

50
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.080
this too and give them like refuge.

51
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.919
And that's what's cool about festivals like this because there

52
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.560
are no outsiders because we're all fucking outsiders on the inside. Yeah,

53
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.360
that's the idea, you know, And everybody, like everybody could

54
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.240
just be themselves, like you said, just have you know,

55
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.039
just you do, you like, there doesn't have to be

56
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.199
rules of what groups should be acceptable or not.

57
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.400
Yeah, And like feeling like I had a place to

58
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:36.639
go definitely change my life.

59
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.719
I think it changed it for all of us, right,

60
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.400
you know, because anybody that's into this music, that's why

61
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.800
we kind of got into it. Besides the loving of music,

62
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.400
but it's like a community and like a family of

63
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:54.319
people that you know, weren't accepted in the other realms

64
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:55.479
of life, so to speak.

65
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.599
Yeah, the normy world, man, I always say, even at

66
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.280
my age, I'm like the normy world. I don't get it.

67
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.120
I can't function and hyb and who decided what fucking

68
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.599
normal is? Oh fucking that See that's the point. That's

69
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:09.960
what I think. That is part of what's better today

70
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.039
because I think more of us have a voice than

71
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.120
did way back.

72
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.279
You know, there's social media, and the Internet changed a

73
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:19.560
lot of mother fucking things.

74
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.720
Yeah, and you know you had bands like Okay, Social

75
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.360
D's gonna be playing like day, didn't. They kind of

76
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.959
paved the way to have so many people have a

77
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.079
voice nowadays. I remember I was a teenager. I was

78
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.879
a long hair that liked punk, but I couldn't go

79
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:38.920
to punk shows.

80
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.759
Yeah, you know, yeah, where I'm from, there was like

81
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.439
quite a division like that.

82
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.720
I always saw it was stupid because in high school,

83
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.439
like the metal heads were getting beat up by the jocks,

84
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.040
the punks were getting beat up by the jocks. Yet

85
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:56.079
we're deciding to beat each other up instead banding together. Right,

86
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.199
Maybe that's where we're like smarter nowadays, I think.

87
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:00.519
So.

88
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:05.000
So, what else you got going on after Punk Rock Bowling?

89
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.120
What's the plan for the rest of the year.

90
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.720
Well, with Bullshit Detector in particular, we're playing the on

91
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.920
the Streets festival in New York now, and then we're

92
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.519
playing Rebellion in UK. We have some other ship in

93
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.040
the fall, I don't remember what. I also played guitar

94
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.040
and Liberty and Justice. And we've got two weeks with

95
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.839
hay Wire coming up, so like I get back, I'll

96
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.040
be back for like a week and a half and

97
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:30.040
then I go on tour again.

98
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.439
That's pretty cool. Rebellion's a pretty badass festival.

99
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.240
Everybody says that, like the fact that you're at Rebellion,

100
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:43.439
you've you've become known in the punk I feel that

101
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.560
because I mean, to me, it was just like, oh yeah,

102
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.399
they asked us, and I was like, oh yeah, we'll

103
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.279
definitely play, and then.

104
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.160
It like something changed, you know what I mean, in

105
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.879
a in a really good way. So I'm really looking forward.

106
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.000
I'm really looking forward to it. I met somebody here

107
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.439
today that was like, oh, we'll see you at rebell.

108
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:01.720
Oh yeah, there you go.

109
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.160
Oh the CD y Yeah.

110
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:08.920
Sorry, we can edit that out.

111
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:09.920
No good, Oh good.

112
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.600
This comes first, because you know what, the only way

113
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.240
bands like you can keep doing this is selling merch.

114
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.439
Because see what, that's why they cannot only listen to

115
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:21.680
my show if they buy your merch.

116
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.639
Yeah, merchant merch is out. We get to travel. We're

117
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.160
like regular dudes with jobs and stuff. So like merch

118
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:30.720
is a big deal.

119
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.319
No, whether the people at your day jobs, let's call it.

120
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.360
Think about the fact that you're going and playing something

121
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.120
like punk, rock, bowling and rebellion and all.

122
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:42.600
Over the place.

123
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.040
Honestly, I teach high school at a foster home. Wow,

124
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:51.319
And like, even in that environment, it's still pretty restrictive. Like,

125
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:55.600
people don't get it. They make assumptions about things like

126
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.759
I don't know, that's that's a lot to unpack. But yeah,

127
00:06:58.839 --> 00:06:59.959
they don't get it.

128
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.000
You know, well, and you know it's funny you brought

129
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.399
up assumptions because people do make assumptions. One of the

130
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.800
reasons I love, like I'll interview rock bands, metal bands,

131
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.759
punk bands. I love interviewing the punks more than any

132
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:21.720
of them because punks are really intelligent and have a

133
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.079
lot to say. And people don't think that. They think

134
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.000
you're just about oh, let's destroy stuff and rebel and

135
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.839
all that. Now your a voice that is actually a

136
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.439
very intelligent voice.

137
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.279
I like both of those things. I like being analytical

138
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.120
and also like watching the world burn.

139
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.959
Yeah, well there you go, me too. So tell everybody

140
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.000
how they can connect to you guys on socials, on

141
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.120
the web, how they could buy your merch check out

142
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.680
your tour dates, all that good. Stuff.

143
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.519
Yeah, man, right on our Instagram is like pretty bumping

144
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.720
right now, and that's just bullshit Detector TX. We're also

145
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.399
on Facebook and TikTok, we just don't use it as much.

146
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.480
And then our band camp, uh it's BD six sixty

147
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.959
six bandcamp dot com.

148
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.800
You can get merchant things there nice, anything else you

149
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.439
want to tell the listeners that we haven't covered already

150
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.600
about your band or anything. I mean this sound this

151
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.399
sounds like a stock response, but it's actually really genuine.

152
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.160
I'm just super stoked to be here and that people

153
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.240
liked their fucking music and that people connect to like

154
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.079
the lyrics and the messaging.

155
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:29.560
Shit too.

156
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:29.920
Well.

157
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.320
I can tell you one thing. Okay, it was early

158
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:37.559
in the festival, first day and hot as fuck, and

159
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.799
you had a great crowd, Like that's dedications. That means
