just chill. We were actually not
in this state yesterday. You're luck Yeah.

11
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.760
God, we played a show in
New Jersey last night where I'm originally

12
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.760
from Jersey. Oh what was it
called? Mister Smalls in New Jersey?

13
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.640
Where is it? What town do
you know? Oh? Man, uh,

14
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:29.480
Mole Vale, Melville. Yeah,
that's where the mental hospital was.

15
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.120
Oh well, then we fit right
in. You should have performed at the

16
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.159
mental hospital. That would be dope. How cool would that? I would

17
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.599
do that? It has to be
haunted though, just to add that would

18
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.079
be even better. Man, oh
man, that would be so cool.

19
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.640
Look at it. Here it comes, here we go. We're about to

20
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.599
get blown out of here at Blue
Ridge. It was nice knowing you guys.

21
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.359
Hey you got to play yeah,
Blue Ridge Rock Festival. You're like

22
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.760
the headliner maybe now yeah, right, so who knew we were gonna headline?

23
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.599
I know? Right? All the
listeners who've never heard you guys.

24
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.000
A little bit about you guys,
about your music and why they should listen

25
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.879
to you, and why they should
also buy your merch because they can't listen

26
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.039
to my show unless they buy band
merch. All right, yeah, So

27
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.000
Catch Your Breath is just full of
a bunch of really sexy guys. Uh.

28
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:21.599
We're just so darned good looking,
and we write we write a lot

29
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.000
of like emotionally based music off of
like stuff that we've gone through in life,

30
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.080
as you should. And uh yeah, we're really down to earth,

31
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.439
humble guys, and we like to
meet everybody, so that I mean,

32
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.560
like, you know, that's that's
enough for the merch thing. And we've

33
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.520
got a really big song out now
that people tend to love called dial Tone,

34
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.800
So if you haven't checked that out, you should definitely go check that

35
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.680
out. I love that, you
know, and who even hears a dial

36
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.360
tone anymore? Remember, Yeah,
I remember dial tones. It's like it's

37
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.560
the way way you knew you could
make a vocal now it's just yeah.

38
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.879
And we get a bunch of people
that are like, you realize that that's

39
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.199
not a dial tone, that that
is a busy signal that you are playing

40
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.800
so right, And we're like,
yeah, but it sounded cooler, right

41
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.199
exactly. Busy signals. That's another
one, like I've heard them recently.

42
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.560
I'm like, how do they have
a busy signal? Yeah? Yeah,

43
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.560
wait, so we get that a
lot, and I was like, well,

44
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:23.479
we could have either changed the song
titled the Busy Signal or we could

45
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.520
have just rocked with an actual dial
tone. But the actual dial tone in

46
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.439
the song didn't sound very good.
It got really tucked behind all the other

47
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:37.360
productions so you couldn't really hear it
too much. And just changing the name

48
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.080
to busy Signal, it's just I
don't even like that name. I like

49
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.719
dial tone that like, that's like
a cool name. Yeah. Yeah.

50
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.960
We also you know, we also
are a music listeners and appreciators as well,

51
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.000
and like were we definitely don't want
to put something out that we're like

52
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:57.319
that sucks, right, you know
that's a thing too, Like as an

53
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.080
artist, you should like your own
music, definitely. Yeah. I mean

54
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.599
if you don't like your own music, how the fuck are you gonna play

55
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.560
it? Yeah. Our good friend
Mia actually said something about that when we

56
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:13.000
shot our Criminal music video. She's
the female role in that video, and

57
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.519
she has a video of me literally
dancing in front of Teddy while the song

58
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.920
is playing, and she was like, it's so weird to see a band

59
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.120
actually like their music. And I
was like, weird to see that,

60
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.120
and she said, yeah, I
do a lot of stuff for a lot

61
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.879
of other bands, and all they
really do is like talk down about their

62
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.240
music and everything that they do and
like undersell it. And you guys are

63
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.920
just having a wrong business then like
that, or they're just trying to be

64
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.279
try hards you know, Oh my
god, that just have fun. You

65
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.120
know. I can totally tell when
I see a band on stage, Like

66
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.160
I can tell if they're into it
or not into it. If they're not

67
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.519
into it, how am I going
to be into it? Like, if

68
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.000
you don't dig your music, how
am I going to dig your music?

69
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.079
Yeah? My problem is, like
on the heavy stuff, I should probably

70
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.879
stop smiling as much as I am
because I smile, like I smile just

71
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.720
about the entire time We're on state. I can't help it. I'm having

72
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.839
at the time of my life.
But like, I like, I can

73
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.920
work on it with a heavy stuff
and like, you know, get to

74
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.079
get my metal face on and stuff. I do. But like halfway through

75
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.000
the song, I forget and I
wave and smile at somebody and see,

76
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.720
I love that. You know,
we don't. People don't realize that metal

77
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:26.759
heads aren't these scary people. But
I was talking one day and we were

78
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.399
talking about this, and He's like, but let's keep them thinking that.

79
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.199
Yeah, yeah, we definitely got
to keep up that image, right,

80
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.879
don't tell anyone who we're actually nice
guys, but yeah, yeah, don't

81
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.800
tell anybody. Yeah, we gotta
keep up an image here. It's so

82
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.040
funny too, because I'm also a
motivational speaker, and so there have been

83
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:49.800
times I've done a seminar wearing a
suit with my metal clothes underneath because I

84
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:54.399
was going to a festival and I'm
like changing my clothes in the car,

85
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.399
and I usually use metal music to
get me motivated for the semi are like,

86
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.759
if I'm going to do a seminar, do you get me all pumped

87
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.879
up and positive, all like crank
Slayer or some shit. There you go,

88
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.079
you know, hell yeah, So
you can take the man out of

89
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.839
middle, but you can't take the
middle out of the man. People don't

90
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.240
understand. Like I meet people that
they're like, yeah, I used to

91
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.600
like mel I'm like, you you
were never liking medal. If you say

92
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.639
used to, yeah, no,
you weren't an actual medal head. If

93
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.600
you used to like medal, you
went through a trend, just admitted.

94
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.199
Exactly. I have a brother that, you know, I tell him,

95
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.800
like the type of woman I'm looking
for, and I say she's got to

96
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.079
be a metal head, and he
looks at me. It's like, uh,

97
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.480
come on, like grow up already. You're not gonna get somebody at

98
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.519
your age it's a metal head.
I'm like, then I will die alone.

99
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.519
Exactly exactly, watch me. No, man, women and women are

100
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.160
getting in the middle so much more
now, and they're such badass. It's

101
00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:00.439
like Ginger, yeah, Court,
what a fucking badass she's she's she sounds

102
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.879
like Randy Blythe to me, know, Holy shit, how is she that

103
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.319
good? And then we're gonna have
here are spirit Box? Yeah, oh

104
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:13.360
my god. I love watching her
technique, Like when when you're up close

105
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.360
and you see are insane. I
can't even do what she does, but

106
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:21.399
she stretches out her jaw. It's
like wild jaw and hinges like a snake.

107
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:27.439
I know, right, yeah,
now she she's probably honestly if people

108
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:31.480
were being like like truthful to themselves. She is in the top three most

109
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:41.879
technically sound metal vocalists down. She's
so so good. Is on point what

110
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.199
you're looking for. If you want
to see, like if a vocalist is

111
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.439
like actually technically sound, go watch
him night in and night out. And

112
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:55.480
she sounds from day one till day
thirty six forty whatever it is. She

113
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:01.759
is so consistent the entire tour.
It's insane. I love it, nothing

114
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.959
but love. And here's another one. Okay, probablys gonna be an unpopular

115
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.319
opinion. We have Pantera playing.
I like New Year's Big version of fucking

116
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.480
Hostile better. I love how ash
does fucking Hostile come at us? I

117
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.839
agree? I love it? Say
that agreeance right here? We just gave

118
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.319
each other nucks over then, yeah, because there's a lot of people be

119
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.920
like, what the fuck are you
talking about? I'm like, it's the

120
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.240
original brew Yeah right, man,
I mean, I mean, I'm not

121
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.919
throwing any shade. But if you've
ever listened to Phil Once on Saul Knows

122
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:41.440
whatever, almost please don't ever play
this Philip h on Somo. But if

123
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:52.759
you ever listened to like his live
isolated vocals, oh yeah, it's like

124
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.080
it's you know, it's pretty funny. It's comical at times. I'm laugh

125
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.360
at my ass off. It didn't
mean interrupted you. I'm laughing my ass

126
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.919
off right now. That was great. I mean, you guys can stand

127
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.320
up and defend him. Only one, but that video exists, So who

128
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.279
else can you do an impression of? I like that because I don't know,

129
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.679
it's probably the I don't even think
I could handle the rest of the

130
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.600
There was a there was a what
is it Vince Vince Neil when he first

131
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:26.600
came back with a oh god,
I forgot Motley Crew. Yeah, and

132
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:33.840
therefore we're hanging in he man,
man, he I mean like I feel

133
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.360
bad, Yeah, I feel bad
for saying something because he's so much better

134
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.279
now, like now that they've started
like rehearsing and touring again. But like

135
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.879
when that first show back they played
yesterday, some of those idols that you

136
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.480
protect so dearly. I know,
right know, my first club show ever

137
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:58.399
the Roxy Sunset Strip Motley Crew,
before they were signed Holy they were horror

138
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.919
punk. They weren't lamb they were
horror punk. They tried to light the

139
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.399
Roxy on fire. Was this before
they went and got Vince from from that?

140
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.600
It was still it was Vince always
before they had the style. First

141
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.960
music was Shout at the Devil.
The second album was their original music.

142
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:20.399
Too Fast for Love was because that's
what the record company wanted. Oh that

143
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.440
was the eighties. That's how it
was. Record companies like they ruined the

144
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.519
metal because record companies are like you
need to dress like this, you need

145
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.120
to uh sing this music and yeah, like do a bunch of ballads like

146
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.440
it's fucking metal man. That's why
I like Thrillers so much. Uh.

147
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.039
They're a newer label. Obviously Bob
is running it. You know Bob.

148
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.799
Everybody knows Bob. But dude,
they give us so much, like just

149
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:50.879
absolute freedom with especially our sound in
music. And like I mean jt uh

150
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.799
jts actually are a and R on
the label, and like he does,

151
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.879
he does a lot of like our
image and stuff. He doesn't tell us

152
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.919
what to wear at all. He
listens to like what we want to do,

153
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.320
and he's like, yeah, let's
just find a way to you know,

154
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.240
unionize that kind of concept and go
with it. You know. I'm

155
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.039
sure if we came to him with
ideas, he would pitch him. But

156
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.279
like, the first question is always
what do you guys want to do?

157
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.480
I love that because as somebody that
grew up in that whole era of the

158
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.480
record labels tell him what to do. That turned me off to music.

159
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:26.799
Like, I was involved in the
biz and I fucking left because I'm like,

160
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.320
fuck this shit, because an artist
should be the one that decides.

161
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.759
You're the artist, You're the creative
Okay. I don't give a shit about

162
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.000
the business side. I mean,
yeah, you give a shit about it,

163
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.639
but the business side should not be
involved in the creative side my opinion.

164
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.480
And they do a really good job
of just giving us complete freedom.

165
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.960
I mean, I mean when we
wrote so, we went to the studio

166
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.720
to write shame on Me, like, and we wrote probably I think,

167
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.120
like I want to say thirteen songs
and send him in and the only thing

168
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.559
they said is, guys, these
are all like hits. Can you write

169
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.840
us some album album songs? Because
we don't know what we're gonna pitch as

170
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:15.200
the singles anymore, so just just
write us some album songs. And we

171
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.840
were like, oh okay, So
like virtually we sent them more hits.

172
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.519
Yeah, like how couldn't turn yet
off? So we sent them more like

173
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.519
you know, big chorus like like
hit sounding songs, and uh, they

174
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.720
were just like, well, if
this is what you guys do, then

175
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.559
it's just what you guys do.
Then okay, Oh that's so cool.

176
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.080
I love hearing that. I love
when record labels are like that because I

177
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.960
fucking hated the record labels back in
the day. Yeah, man, Bob,

178
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.799
I think Bob, it's just because
Bob has been around, you know,

179
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.279
doing Fearless for what twenty twenty five
years. He did Fearless and then

180
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.440
you know, he got he got
away from fairly sold that and he started

181
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.759
up a thriller and I think he
just wants to do something like more personal

182
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.080
and close to heart. It's more
of a passion project now. And then

183
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.360
I think it is like you know, Bob, Bob has done his work

184
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.799
in the music industry. You know, you know, bands like All Time

185
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.679
Low, he's responsible for that,
He's responsible for like the whole emo scene

186
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.759
pretty much. Yeah, he's done
his work, and now I think he's

187
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.840
like onto Passion projects and he's like
only picking bands that like he personally really

188
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:24.759
likes and he's adding them to the
label. And like I'm telling you right

189
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.080
now, being one of those bands, he pours his hard and soul into

190
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.360
each one of us. So I
love that and that that must feel good

191
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.639
that he picks you. Yeah,
that's been the most surreal thing about this

192
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.960
whole year is like Bob showed up, and then everyone else showed up.

193
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.519
Wow, Bob showed up. Then
Nick Storts showed up, Nick Storts showed

194
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.679
up, Drew Folk showed up.
You know, like everybody just started showing

195
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.480
up to the door. And we
have no one to think but but Bob's

196
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.399
are as far as labels go,
with us, they've been nothing but great.

197
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.679
And then you showed up the Blue
Ridge Rock Festival and brought the storm

198
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.559
with you. Yeah that was that
was Bob called Nick Storch and said,

199
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.840
Hey, I got this new van. I think you're gonna be really interested

200
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.200
in them, and you know,
here we are. And the first thing

201
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.639
Nick did, I think, let's
get us the popular monster and then Blue

202
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.799
Ridge and it was like hey,
nice, cool, thanks, Yeah,
