San Antonio-based alternative rock band Donella Drive has just released their latest single, "Simian Transmission", alongside an animated video. "Simian Transmission" is available now on all streaming platforms, and the music video can be found on Donella Drive’s official YouTube channel.
“Simian Transmission” is the first single off of our upcoming album “AXON” set to be released in February 2025.

"The song 'Simian Transmission' is the first single from their upcoming full length album “AXON” set for a February 2025 release. 'Simian Transmission' delves into themes of mental chaos and societal disconnection. It portrays a sense of frantic expression and inner turmoil, with imagery of static and fragmented signals reflecting a struggle to find clarity. The repeated emphasis on 'failure' highlights feelings of defeat and hopelessness. The title suggests a primal form of communication that has been disrupted, symbolizing a loss of connection and isolation. Overall, the lyrics explore the search for meaning in a chaotic world."

Andrew Salazar comments on the making of the video:
"Aidan discovered the artwork of James Quigley, aka Gunsho, through the hip hop group Malibu Ken, a project by Aesop Rock and Tobacco. Other artists Gunsho has done work for include the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Andrew W.K. Intrigued by his unique style, Aidan reached out to Gunsho online, and they immediately hit it off. Gunsho then created the artwork for the video and collaborated with his friend Peter Karpick, a former creative director for Adult Swim and freelance designer who brought the images to life through animation. This collaboration resulted in a music video that we feel, perfectly.

Thank you cool.

16
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:15.719
How do you like my background?

17
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:16.680
I love it?

18
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.159
You know, I want you to tell everybody about the

19
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:28.680
new single Semion Transmission, like what your idea of it is,

20
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.480
because you know, when it comes to songs, artists have

21
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:33.840
one idea of what the what the message of the

22
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.400
song is, and then other people pick something else up.

23
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.640
So tell us what your version is.

24
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.319
To me personally, my brother has his own view on it.

25
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.480
He wrote the lyrics for but my interpretation of it

26
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.840
is essentially like having that self doubt, kind of like

27
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.200
a being in a lost place trying to communicate and

28
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.359
it's not getting across the way you want to get across.

29
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.599
That's that's my point of perception. Anyway of song, it's

30
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.280
like kind of like a trying to communicate and know

31
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.000
what's kind of hearing you out? Know what's kind of

32
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.199
hearing your perspective, your point of view. That's what I

33
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:08.840
think it is about.

34
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.039
And you know, I think it's kind of apropos of

35
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.520
what we live in today because we I always say

36
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.199
all the time, we have way more ways to communicate

37
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.039
than ever in history, and our communication skills are the

38
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:26.520
worst thanyeah ever are? You know, It's like like when

39
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.039
it comes to everything social media, email, text, messaging, all

40
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.680
this technology. You know we're communicating, but there's meaning that

41
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:43.240
is getting you know, miscommunicated or you know there's nothing

42
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.479
behind it except just the words and whatever that person,

43
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.240
what's the meaning to those words?

44
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.159
Really? Even Like it's funny like sometimes we'll have like

45
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.560
a band discussion we're texting each other and it could

46
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.159
come off as like I guess passive aggressive right the

47
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:01.919
whole keen peel. I don't know if you've ever seen

48
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.599
before the Keen Peel skit where he thinks he's being

49
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.159
aggressive and there's text each other back and forth and

50
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.599
he's there. They meet up and he's ready to fight,

51
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.840
and he was like, what's going on? Man? Are you okay?

52
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.599
Like it's like a whole like a miscommunication.

53
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.639
No doubt. And you know it's interesting because I'm sure

54
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:20.159
you've done this.

55
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:20.879
I do this.

56
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.599
I'll send a text message and I'll write it out first,

57
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.479
and then i'll read it to myself and I'll be like, hmm,

58
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.599
I wonder what they're gonna think I'm saying. And it's

59
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.800
probably the exact same words you'd say in real life,

60
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:41.719
except the differences as you have your facial expressions, your tonality,

61
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.800
and and so it comes across the right way and

62
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.639
the same exact words. Somebody's got interpret totally different without

63
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:51.800
those things.

64
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.080
Totally totally. Man, definitely agree with that. I've definitely done

65
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.759
that too. Going back and forth is okay.

66
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.199
Sometimes what I'll do is like I'll do it and

67
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.400
I'll just keep it in drafts and I'll wait till

68
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.319
like later in the day or the next day when well,

69
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:13.120
maybe in a different mindset and read and go, oh fuck,

70
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:14.400
I'd be pissed if I got that.

71
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:18.000
Oh for sure, man, for sure.

72
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.800
So you said your meaning is different than your brother

73
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.199
So what would you say? Your brothers is.

74
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.360
Pretty similar except to me, like especially during the vers

75
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:34.160
it's kind of like a like a uh of rant

76
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.759
and what's going on in his crazy mind. It's like

77
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:43.800
he's very uh you know, add he's he's has like

78
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.279
to me, like the especially the first verse is very

79
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.839
like kind of like a a rant inside his head.

80
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.680
But he definitely about the song is about communication or

81
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:57.680
lack thereof, and how you know, you say one thing

82
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.839
and it could mean another thing can be interpreted another way,

83
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.480
kind of like a archaic with communicating.

84
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.959
I guess, well, and think about it too, okay, because

85
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.920
you're using Simeon in the name, and of course the

86
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.560
background here and I think of planet the apes and

87
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.879
where humans are mute, Yeah, and they cannot communicate with

88
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.480
with the apes, and you know there's miscommunication there too.

89
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.240
It's like so to me, that's all relative.

90
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.480
Yeah, And the vibe of the video, we kind of

91
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.360
wanted this like kind of post apocalyptic kind of world,

92
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.560
you know, kind of kind of vibe with the whole

93
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:37.600
ape theme. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.

94
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.920
Big question. What's it like to be in a band

95
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.959
with your brother? I couldn't be in a band with

96
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.319
any of my brothers, I could tell you right now.

97
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.759
I don't even if I didn't, if they weren't my brothers,

98
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.759
I probably wouldn't even associate with them in life.

99
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.680
Dude. You know what's crazy enough to people this before,

100
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.920
It's like it's probably the most real band I've ever

101
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.319
been in, because you know, we can get right to

102
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.480
the point, like you know, other bands have been you

103
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.000
kind of have to like eggshells tippy toe, But with

104
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.879
me and my brother won't go right. Sometimes you got

105
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:20.639
to like take a step back, like, hey, you know,

106
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.319
we need to chill out. But there's definitely been times

107
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.639
where like he'll have an idea or I'll have an

108
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.879
idea and we're like, I'll do that sucks instantly, Like

109
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.480
that's horrible, worst idea ever, Like right like that. So

110
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:36.959
as far as me and him, there's definitely not a

111
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:41.000
lack of We communicate pretty well, almost too well, you know.

112
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.360
What I mean. See that is the good news because

113
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.279
you know each other so well and you don't have

114
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.560
to play games, you don't have to sugar coat it,

115
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.120
and I mean I look at it this way anyway. Okay,

116
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.079
so if you're in a band, you have the same

117
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.120
sibling rivalry as if you were brothers. Oh yeah, so

118
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.360
you already have prepared all your life to be in

119
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:04.399
a band, both of you.

120
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.680
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we've had family members and bands. Grandpa,

121
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.399
my grandfather, was a musician. Nice you know my brothers

122
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.319
because me and my brother were half brothers, but his

123
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.480
dad was in my life a lot. He was a musician,

124
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.279
you know what I mean. I have an uncle who

125
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.639
is he's in a metal band right now. They're called Fleshoarder.

126
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.160
He's a musician, and he's the first guy I jammed with.

127
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.040
So it's kind of like, you know, and I have

128
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.199
other uncles who are he's a musician as well. So

129
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.560
it's it's just there. It's in my family. It's in

130
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.519
my kind of in my DNA, you know.

131
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:42.439
And it's interesting. You know, everybody likes to talk about Texas,

132
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.879
the and the live music scene in Austin, but I

133
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:52.199
don't know. I've been to Austin. I wasn't that impressed.

134
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.879
But what I am impressed by is I have bands

135
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.800
that I know and like I'm friends with that are

136
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:04.000
San Antonio Bay bands and they're like the coolest people

137
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.279
ever or the coolest bands ever. Right, I think maybe

138
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.800
Austin should be, you know, take their crown taken away

139
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.360
and giving it to San Antonio.

140
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.879
I will say this, Austin is straight up. I mean,

141
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.600
Austin has this thing for sure. San Antonio. It's definitely

142
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.439
to me more of a metal scene, big metal scene here.

143
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:27.920
The hardcore metal scene is huge here.

144
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.959
And the brotherhood because like you probably know him, this

145
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.840
really good friend of mine who's in even in Death

146
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:42.039
Yeah Sean Nations, Oh yeah, Like he creates the impression

147
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.639
of like all all you San Antonio bands are like

148
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.600
all this brotherhood, which I don't think Austin has that.

149
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:51.799
Maybe I don't know, I don't know.

150
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.279
I mean it's hard to say. There's some great Austin

151
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.559
bands right now too, but definitely the to me, maybe

152
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.039
the scene here in San Antonio a little a little

153
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.000
bit more smaller, so it's maybe it's a little.

154
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.600
More close close niche Yeah, that might be it.

155
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.960
Yeah, And that could be it too. I think like

156
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.399
there's definitely pockets of different scenes here and then they're

157
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.480
all type too for sure. We're kind of in our

158
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.120
own name. We're in this weird kind of gray area.

159
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:21.120
We kind of like we'll play shows with pretty much anybody.

160
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.799
We can honestly say, like, you know, we've played with

161
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.879
metal bands, We've played with like indie bands, you know.

162
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.600
Sometimes we've even played like death metal shows or death

163
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.480
course shows.

164
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:33.679
Even see I love that.

165
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.120
Yeah, I love that too. Some promoters don't, but.

166
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.639
I h because I come from the day where yeah, yeah,

167
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.159
I had all the gatekeepers and you couldn't even mix

168
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:49.879
the same genre. And frankly, it was stupid. Music is music,

169
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.279
and you know, you like it or don't like it,

170
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.879
doesn't matter what the genre is. But if you're only

171
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.399
listening to one genre, you may miss out on a

172
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.000
lot of music that you probably absolutely totally.

173
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.679
Yeah, And I've played those death metal shows and death

174
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.320
course shows, and they've come to us, like different members

175
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.480
of different bands, and we're like, dude, that was refreshing,

176
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:10.840
you know, it gave almost like it gave like their

177
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.440
ears of break, you know what I mean, right, because

178
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.200
something offered we offered something different, you know, in the

179
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.000
middle of the you know, death metal, death course stuff.

180
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.360
And I love that, and I love death metal, and

181
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.200
I love I grew up on it. You know, have

182
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.759
family members that play it. So but you know, I

183
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.440
just we just try and incorporate our own influences and

184
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:28.399
do our own thing.

185
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.799
Yeah. So I'll tell you the funniest gig I ever

186
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.960
went to in my whole life was uh, it was

187
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:41.320
at the True Badore and it was Striper opening for Slayer.

188
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.679
That's awesome, right right, and so fight.

189
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.960
I remember clearly I was up at the stage and

190
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.399
the guitarist is Striper. He was doing the lead ain't

191
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.799
bent over and his cross was hanging down and I,

192
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.519
I don't know, I was like fifteen, I don't remember,

193
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.000
idiot kid, and I took his cross and I flipped

194
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.320
it upside down and he just smiled at me like

195
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.799
it was like, you know it was right. Then I realized, well,

196
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.200
he is actually pretty cool because it's like he didn't

197
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.200
react the way I expected.

198
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:20.440
Yeah, that's cool, he gets I mean he knows.

199
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.399
Well. You know, it's funny because so what you know,

200
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.759
you have two bands that maybe are not the same,

201
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.000
and maybe you like them both and you just have

202
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.919
a good time live. One thing I think we've learned

203
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.919
from COVID is I don't give a fuck if some

204
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.840
kid where a recorder gets and gets up on stage

205
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.120
and plays a show, I won't be at live music.

206
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:42.919
I don't care.

207
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.879
Yeah, same man. Yeah, you know it. We took it

208
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.240
for granted for sure. And I remember our first show

209
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:52.279
was back after COVID. They're actually really crazy, Like it

210
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.360
was like we had crazy pits and people were knocking

211
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:01.440
over tables like it was like k as soon as

212
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.720
we got to like one hundred percent capacity at the bars,

213
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.639
like I love it, Like it was like everyone was like, yes,

214
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:09.440
I love it.

215
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.759
But yeah, he got rid of that people being bitchy

216
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:17.519
and complaining about everything and realize, yeah, we need this

217
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.360
live music. I don't care what it's like, you know.

218
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.000
And there's still people that are gonna complain, but a

219
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:27.639
lot of the people that guy wake Up Call create

220
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.919
a much better scene. And I think, shush, I think

221
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.440
metal's bigger than ever now after COVID.

222
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.960
To be honest, oh yeah, it's like I said, literally

223
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.679
knock looses on Jimmy Kimmel, I know, with Poppy.

224
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.200
With Poppy, I mean that was insane. And then it's

225
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.759
like he got all kinds of backlash and the body

226
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.399
Counts gonna be on next So it's like, you know,

227
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:55.399
you can backlash all you want, but obviously the audience

228
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:57.919
loved it, or else you wouldn't be bringing another band

229
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.840
back that's going to cause chaos on there.

230
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.320
Oh yeah, I love it, dude, that's awesome.

231
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:07.320
Right, So, so you got the new album as coming

232
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:12.279
out set for February. Tell us more about the album

233
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.799
besides to me in transmission, what else we would like

234
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:16.960
to know to look out for.

235
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:23.840
So the next single, it's actually called Mindless Embryonic and

236
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.320
it was filmed by a friend of ours. We're gonna

237
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:32.840
drop that in February as well. It's pretty much don't

238
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.440
expect the same sound that you heard on Simeon. It's

239
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.320
a totally different vibe. And I would say that's pretty

240
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.279
much the whole theme of the record. Every song is

241
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.879
like its own kind of in its own lane, like

242
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.679
from track to track, and there's kind of we've added.

243
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.320
Probably the thing we've done with this album is we've

244
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.240
actually added like kind of like little interlews that lead

245
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:55.879
into two different songs, so it's kind of like one

246
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:57.279
kind of almost story.

247
00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:58.240
Nice.

248
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.720
Yeah, so we have that. There's an intro song that's

249
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.240
gonna lead into Simeon and then uh, and then it

250
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:06.840
goes into two mindless, and then I guess it's gonna

251
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.240
be like it's gonna be a musical journey man. We've

252
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.679
got like instrumental songs with a saxophone solo. I got

253
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.279
probably like like the next song mindless, it's like a

254
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.120
combination of me and my brother were saying, it's like

255
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.639
a combination of Mega Death and and the Mars Volta.

256
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:28.159
Wow. Wow, Yeah, that's definitely that's a journey right there.

257
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.559
Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely got its dynamics and peaks and

258
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.759
it's gonna be crazy. And then we close it out

259
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.440
with like this almost like a We closed the album

260
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.480
out with a like a it's like almost instrumental, has

261
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:45.840
like very minimal vocals. It's almost like a kind of

262
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.840
trip hop New York style, Like uh, I don't describe

263
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:55.200
it like it's funky, but it's got a vibe. So

264
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:57.240
it's just it's gonna be weird. It's gonna be a

265
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.519
journey dude, That's all I can say. It's one sad and.

266
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.919
See I dig that too, Like okay, So why this

267
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:10.679
is why people skip tracks nowadays? Because a lot of bands,

268
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.519
metal bands especially, like they plug in like this algebraic

269
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.200
equation formula and it's like every song is the same

270
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.000
song on the album. And yeah, I don't need to

271
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.600
listen to the same song on the album every time.

272
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.720
I want difference. And you know, we all have different

273
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.320
parts of our mood and personality too, So like I

274
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.960
will vibe like that. I'll be driving down the road,

275
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.480
I'll listen to Slayer and then I'll turk on Dirty

276
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.440
Heads right after Slayer, and then and then I'll go

277
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:49.080
from Dirty Heads to like Possessed and then back to

278
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:50.639
like Grateful Dead, Like.

279
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.840
Yeah, oh no, I'm the same. Well, like I start

280
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.080
with like something super heavy and then I'm doing something

281
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.679
funky and it's going, it goes all over the place.

282
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.919
So like, we have so many influences and we want

283
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.200
to include them all in our music. I mean, we

284
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.759
feel we haven't even tapped into everything we could do, honestly,

285
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.840
Like I feel like we're just getting started, honestly on

286
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.799
where we could take it. So, like I said, don't

287
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:20.279
expect one sound. There's so many different sounds and styles

288
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:22.960
on this new stuff. For sure, I love it.

289
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.320
