Born on the unforgiving streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Survivalist have forged their identity in the fires of personal struggle, societal decay, and the fractured world around them. Through a unique sonic alchemy, the band transforms fear, frustration, anger, and despair into a sound that is unbowed, unbroken, and uncompromising — a relentless fusion of bulldozing grooves, titanic riffs, concussive breakdowns, and devastating vocals. They call it Groovecore.  

Their second album, A Place For Those Who Suffer, Alone…, has been announced, with lead single Deathbed — featuring Alex Koehler (Ameonna, ex-Chelsea Grin) — offering the first taste of what’s to come. On August 29th, they’ll unleash the devastating Radio Bleed, perhaps their most fiercely focused statement of defiance yet.  

Tour Dates:
24/09 - The Old Salutation, Nottingham (Headline)
25/09 - Subside, Birmingham (Headline)
26/09 - The Gryphon, Bristol (Headline)
27/09 - Santiagos, Leeds (Headline)
28/09 - Trillians, Newcastle (Headline)
08/10 - Dolan’s Warehouse, Limerick (With Thy Art Is Murder & Heriot)
09/10 - Limelight, Belfast (With Thy Art Is Murder & Heriot)
10/10 - Academy, Dublin (With Thy Art Is Murder & Heriot)

Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.880
going back across the pond again. I might. You know,

14
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.560
people have said I should just move over that way

15
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.560
because I'm so involved in the scene there, And I

16
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.519
can tell you too that I don't know. In this

17
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.200
day and age, with all the shit that's going on,

18
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.760
I like it and I feel more free and safe

19
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.079
over it on that side upon than I do on

20
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.959
this side upon. But here we are with some killer

21
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:31.519
new music from a killer band from Ireland. So let's

22
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.000
welcome to a show gave from Survivalist.

23
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.640
How are you yeah, I'm good now, I'm good. Yeah.

24
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:41.400
I mean certain areas definitely, there's definitely obviously bonuses that

25
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.400
live in here. Than in America, but there's also still

26
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.040
the country's still run by pocket dick heads. Mon So

27
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:48.640
wherever you are, you know you're going to get them.

28
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.959
Well, you know, it's funny you should say that, because

29
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.799
I travel a lot for years and years now and

30
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:01.200
this year in particular more than ever, that statement is

31
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.000
true everywhere in the world. It's like I used to

32
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:09.240
go to places to escape the insanity going on here,

33
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.360
and now I just go somewhere else that has the insanity.

34
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.080
And when I talk to my friends on your side

35
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.599
upon you know, it's people don't realize this. It's one

36
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.680
thing when you're visiting someplace. It's another thing when you

37
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:26.960
live there and have to deal with it. Like as

38
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.319
an American going to the UK, I don't have to

39
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.159
deal with the bullshit you have to deal with, you know.

40
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.159
So so yeah, it's like, oh, I feel much better

41
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:43.719
over here, Dan, You'll you live there, And it's and

42
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.400
I've experienced it in other places because I've lived in

43
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.719
multiple places. And it's like when I was younger, I

44
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.240
always moved to where I vacation before I ever got

45
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.080
married and had kids. That was what I was known

46
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.240
for in my family. It's like vacation somewhere, I'm like,

47
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.120
oh fuck, I'm moving here, and like the next week

48
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:04.879
I would move there.

49
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.479
I think any vacation I've ever been on, every time

50
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.719
I leave, or if it's tour, if we're away, every

51
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.680
time I leave that place, I'm like, fuck, I would

52
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.599
love to move here. But then it's it's the same

53
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.840
as you live anywhere, man, everywhere, every location in the world,

54
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.240
every place, every town in every city, every country has

55
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.120
its own shit, you know what I mean, No doubt,

56
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.520
you're just kind of desensitized it that because you're there

57
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.680
on holiday and you only see the nice tour sea bits,

58
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.400
but you're not living there every day, dealing with taxes

59
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.120
and dealing with getting shofted by the man.

60
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:41.159
Totally. Well, here's a perfect example. Okay, my son is

61
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.280
in the Army. My dor in law, her ex husband,

62
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:48.120
was in the Army. Both were stationed in Germany. My

63
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:52.120
son lived off base. He didn't want to live on base,

64
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.639
so he lived as if he were amongst the Germans,

65
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.120
not on an American military base. Okay, daughter, on the

66
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.159
other hand, she lived on the military base. She loved Germany.

67
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.759
She wants to still live there now. She that was

68
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.759
the greatest place on Earth. My son not so much.

69
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.720
What's the difference she was living in Germany, but in America.

70
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:18.519
In Germany, when you're living on.

71
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.360
The base, yeah, you know, dealing with the actual base

72
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:23.720
and my.

73
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.439
Son alone, but dealing with the utility companies was enough

74
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.800
to make and want to, you know, jump ship, you know,

75
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.480
and see. That's something you don't when you're vacationing or

76
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.079
like your station somewhere in the military on a base.

77
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.079
You don't realize those real life situations that people that

78
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.600
actually our locals go through.

79
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.319
Yeah, no, I agree, And it's the same with where

80
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.680
we are situated now. Obviously I like where I live.

81
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.319
I like Ireland. I like Belfast. We're actually just outside Belfast,

82
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.399
so the majority of the band, three out of four

83
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.199
of us live in place called Banger which is about

84
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.839
fifteen miles out, but we we typically play all of

85
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.160
our shows in Belfast. Whatever it comes to overland. So

86
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:11.000
Belfast is our home city and it's where the majority

87
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.560
of our fan bases is where the majority of our

88
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.279
family are, you know what I mean. But I love

89
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.120
living here. I love the majority of the aspects of

90
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.800
living here, and in comparison to other countries in the world.

91
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:29.199
We're very fortunate, and especially with the state of the world, Ukraine, Palestine,

92
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.480
all those countries that are just getting invaded and shit's

93
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.279
hitting the fan all around the world. We're very fortunate

94
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:40.680
to where we are. But yeah, it still comes with

95
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:45.839
us drawbacks. They're still government, there's still politicians in power

96
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.480
that just shouldn't be there. There's still parties in power

97
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:53.040
that shouldn't be there. They're still you know, the everyday man.

98
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.839
Taxes are still fucking going up every single fucking day.

99
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.040
People are still paying out of their assholes for absolutely

100
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.079
fuck all different crisises. Ridiculous. Homeless crisis is ridiculous. But

101
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:07.000
I love my city and I love Ireland, and yeah,

102
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.759
that's why we kind of put that at the forefront,

103
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.680
because we are from Belfast. We are a Belfast band.

104
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.000
And I love hearing that too, And you know, you

105
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.519
kind of reminded me of like, I'm originally from New

106
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.199
York and New Jersey and I was born in New York,

107
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.680
grew up in Jersey. I love New York City and

108
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.279
I love to leave New York City, like I love

109
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.600
living just outside the city. And that's what I would

110
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.720
thinking of when you were talking about you live just

111
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.199
outside Belfast. It's like, yeah, to me, the city is home,

112
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.560
but I like living just outside the city where I

113
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:43.319
can escape it.

114
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.639
Yeah, type of thing. And I think we're very fortunate

115
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.399
as well to be part of the community that we're

116
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.439
part of, obviously being part of the alternative community, in

117
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.680
the metal community, in rock and all of that kind

118
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.680
of music that we're into a lot of people that

119
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.720
are a lot more open minded, a lot more understanding.

120
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:03.319
Don't get me wrong, you still get that. It's like everywhere,

121
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.839
you know what I mean, But like the majority of

122
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:08.920
the people are a lot more open minded. They're they're

123
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.879
more willing to have a conversation, they're more willing to

124
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.800
hear of you, they're more willing to step back and

125
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.480
separate themselves from a situation and actually listen to people speak.

126
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.879
I'm a big believer in that. Okay, so listen. You know,

127
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.639
you have to really talk to people to get where

128
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.879
their head's at. And you know, in this country we

129
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:28.959
have that problem right now. Nobody can talk to each

130
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.720
other other because god forbid, you don't agree exactly with

131
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.079
what they're saying. Then the name calling, the attacking and

132
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.680
all that starts. But the bottom line is do you

133
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.800
know why they're what their reasons are? You know, sometimes

134
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.120
there are good reasons, like you know, even with our

135
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.360
you know politics here, sometimes people vote for people they

136
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.319
don't really want to vote for or don't like, but

137
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.360
because it may affect their career, you know, and so

138
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.879
they have to vote a certain way so that they

139
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.000
can protect their livelihood and their family and all that.

140
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.639
Yeah, which is crazy. And then these people are called

141
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.720
out by the public because they've been you know, they've

142
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.439
seen that they're supporting certain parties or certain individuals, and

143
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.319
then these people get called out and then how their

144
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.079
career is conceled. But that's the culture that we live

145
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:18.480
in though.

146
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.079
Right, Yeah, the opinion. You can't have something that's or

147
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.480
something that affects your life. It's ridiculous.

148
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.279
All your opinion from the start. That's the that's the

149
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.040
that's the key. Have your opinion from the very beginning.

150
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.000
If you have your opinions and your views locked in

151
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.279
before you start growing your community and start growing the

152
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.559
people that are surrounding you, you can't you can't fail,

153
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.919
you know what I mean exactly because you're the people

154
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.320
that are going to fow you and support. You're gonna

155
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.000
people that follow and support your views and opinions totally.

156
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.600
And that's why I love about the metal community because

157
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.559
there are no outsiders, and you know, we don't have

158
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.320
to think the same, we don't have to do anything,

159
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.679
look the same, anything the same. But we communicate with

160
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.559
each other and we're one big family that everybody is

161
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:02.279
entitled to be themselves.

162
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:08.240
It's super inclusive and it's even down to fashion, you know, dress, sense, music, everything,

163
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.200
any way you want to express yourself as a person.

164
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.440
The metal seeing the metal community hardcore as well, is

165
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.799
exactly the same hardcore scene, hardcore community, all those guys.

166
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.720
There's just that inclusivity that's not there in other music genres.

167
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.919
It's not there. I think the only other music genre

168
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.399
like sort of outside that, and I'll side those sort

169
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.480
of alternative spans. I've seen a lot of this in

170
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.480
is hip hop. There's a lot of real to governess

171
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.200
and hip hop, especially at the underground hip hop scenes

172
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.039
which are sort of exploding in Ireland at the moment,

173
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.120
which is class. Yeah. So I think that it's it's

174
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:42.519
good to be part of this and it's good to

175
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.399
be in a band that are kind of we float

176
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.320
between genres. We're not stuck. We don't we don't railroad

177
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.639
ourselves and call ourselves a metal band. We like we've

178
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.240
we've been calling ourselves for a while groove core because it's.

179
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:59.519
The Yeah, I was like, that's pretty cool, Yeah, groove.

180
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.559
Course probaly like it started as a joke within the band,

181
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:04.919
like it was us just saying ironically, it was never

182
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.120
supposed to be a real thing, but in terms of

183
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.600
like actual genre of shift and it's probably the thing

184
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.080
that personifies us the most because we've got the core

185
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.240
stuff from deathcore, hardcore, metal core that we have in

186
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.399
there as well. But then there's also a lot of groove.

187
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.399
There's a lot of heavy influence from groove metal bands,

188
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.240
especially everybody in the band is a Pantera fan.

189
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.639
And this is I'm gonna say right from the beginning,

190
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.360
that's to me, that's the groove part of your hands in.

191
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.440
And this and this then falls back to what we

192
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.759
were talking about earlier. People like following certain individuals. Phil

193
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.360
in Sound was a bit of a douchebag, isn't he?

194
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.200
But like I love Pantera, I always fucking will man,

195
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:45.960
They'll always be one of my favorite bands. Fills on

196
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.080
some stupid ship in the past, but that's not gonna

197
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:49.080
stop me from like in their music.

198
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.679
Well, you know what, I'm glad you brought that up,

199
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:56.200
because you know, a lot of people make mistakes tay

200
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.360
stupid ship or what they say against misconstruction or what

201
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.519
they do getst misconstrued. I know Phil personally, and I'm

202
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:10.840
a Jew, so by what and I'm walking my talk

203
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.279
by the way the world is right now, I wouldn't

204
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.720
like him just because I'm a Jew, because of the

205
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:22.159
fucking rumors and or stupid. He's the nicest guy man,

206
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.639
and like he doesn't like he got a bad rap

207
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.799
with being just stupid. And you know, when you're doing drugs.

208
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:33.639
And this is well, I think some of it was

209
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.799
just fucking stupidity. So of it with stupidity. Some of

210
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.279
it was too much fucking booze.

211
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.480
But that's what I'm saying. When you're drunk or on drugs,

212
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.759
you do stupid ship that you don't even know you're

213
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.960
fucking doing. And yeah, you can't sit there and blame

214
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.480
it on that because you made the choice to do it.

215
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.080
But you know, sit down and communicate with somebody and

216
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:59.399
find out what really happened instead of like assuming and

217
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:03.759
I think education it's key, even if like this will

218
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.279
blow your mind. But I actually literally sat down and

219
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:10.759
had a conversation where real neo Nazi because I was

220
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.159
forced to work with this dude, and I had two choices.

221
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.200
I could either talk to him and find out why

222
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.440
why he thinks the way he does and maybe kind

223
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:23.120
of helped to modify his thinking by acting the right way.

224
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.320
Or I could kick the ship out of him and

225
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.480
just prove the point of why he hated me just

226
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:30.399
for being a Jew.

227
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.200
There was a clear there was a clear third option there.

228
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.120
You could have done both.

229
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:42.480
Yeah, right, right, That's my first thing is to kick

230
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.279
the ship out of him. But you know, I did

231
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.159
talk to him, and what I found out was he

232
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.600
was just brainwashed but by stupiding or people that it's

233
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.200
the only people he was surrounded with, and he was told.

234
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.320
And then when he was talking to me, instead of

235
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.360
me attacking him and being an asshole, he listened because

236
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.559
I wasn't being asshole and it was like, oh wow,

237
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:07.480
maybe they were wrong, and like it changed his viewpoints.

238
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.120
You're not going to change people's viewpoints by eating the

239
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.080
piss out of their opinion. You know they're good beat

240
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:15.879
the piss back.

241
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.639
I'm a big fan of people as well, man, Like

242
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.440
I'm a big believer in people and a big believer

243
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.639
obviously people shape us, especially being a band, You've got

244
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:26.879
to believe in people. People are the ones that pay

245
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.279
your tickets, They're the ones that by your merch, they're

246
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:30.840
the people that turn up to your shows, and they're

247
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.360
the reason why you can do what you do. So

248
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.440
I have to believe in people, and I like to

249
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.879
give people the benefit of the doubt. And it hasn't

250
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.679
hit me in the ass, probably more fucking times than

251
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.639
I could care to remember. But at the same time,

252
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.039
I like to give people those second chances. I like

253
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.840
to believe that people can be better.

254
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.320
It's a better way to be for yourself. Man. Of course,

255
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.720
it sucks walking around angry all the time, you know,

256
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.519
And like, the politicians are the ones doing the politicians

257
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.840
throughout the world are the ones turning us against each other,

258
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.240
and we need to stand up against all of them.

259
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.879
My viewpoint is they're all on the same team, and

260
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.600
it ain't mine like that. In my country, Democrat, Republican,

261
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.240
it don't fucking matter. There are two sides of the

262
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.799
same fucking coin, and they yes, they could go fuck themselves,

263
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.279
all of them.

264
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.159
Yeah, all politicians. Like, don't get me wrong, there probably

265
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.840
is good politicians in there, and there's also probably politicians

266
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.279
that I think are pieces of shit. But they maybe

267
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:31.799
have some views and they maybe have some opinions on

268
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.000
stuff that I do agree with. They've maybe done some

269
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:36.840
things that I thought, Oh, you know what, that's good.

270
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:38.840
But that doesn't make you a good fucking person just

271
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.799
because you've gone and maybe had one or two wins. Yeah,

272
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.639
being a good person is that's where you're moral compass

273
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.080
points to, Like you're not a good person from being

274
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:51.000
a fucking sex offender or being an absolute fucking din

275
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.960
with Like, yeah, well we really went and fucking heavy

276
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.320
here straight off the butt, didn't we were?

277
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.480
Well yeah, Like it's part of your music too, which

278
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:03.080
is what I because you know, so many people say

279
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:08.759
that musicians should stop preaching and like stick to the music.

280
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.799
That is what music's about. It's about expression, and it

281
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.960
is about getting those things out of you. It's therapy,

282
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.399
getting the anger out, getting the things that piss you off.

283
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.559
In the world, music has always been a voice for

284
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.919
the un injustices in society, Like, so, why all of

285
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.799
a sudden should it not have a voice. It's fucking ridiculous.

286
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.080
I think it's the most powerful voice we can have,

287
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.799
and I have this philosophy we could solve all the

288
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.759
world problems if we had just one major music festival

289
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:46.279
that was a rock metal music festival that the whole

290
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.720
world was required to attend, and then we could just

291
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.519
work everything out in the fucking pit, like.

292
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:53.679
A purge for music.

293
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:04.279
It is all of death ever and boom, yes it is.

294
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.559
People don't know in the pit, we're not out there

295
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.960
to hurt and name and people. We're out there so

296
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:09.879
we don't.

297
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:13.960
It's expressionism and it's a way for people to escape

298
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.240
from the everyday bullshit that they're facing the society at

299
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.039
the moment. And I think that's why music and escapism

300
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:24.679
is so, so so important as well. And circling back

301
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:28.279
to what you mentioned about keeping your voice and keeping

302
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.679
music music and keeping politics and keeping all that show

303
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.919
on music, it's fucking stupid, Like if that happened. Some

304
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.120
of the greatest music that's ever been written or created

305
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:39.759
has been written because it's either politically driven or it's

306
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:45.120
being driven by emotional response, or it's a cry for help,

307
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.720
or it's to do with substance and alcohol abuse. There

308
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.279
is always a story there. So if you are those

309
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.480
people that sit home, be like, keep your politics out

310
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:54.919
of my music, keep your keep your messages out of

311
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.360
my music. I just want to shut the fuck up.

312
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:57.639
All of your music's got messages in it.

313
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:04.480
Yeah, and to your point about the human being thing, Okay,

314
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.559
I'm big about that. Just be a good human being.

315
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.720
I'll give a fuck what you believe. As well as

316
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.960
you're not intentionally try to hurt people. Just you do

317
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.039
you just don't intentionally try to hurt people. Ye, and

318
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.519
perfect example. I don't know if you saw what happened.

319
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:25.319
I think it was yesterday fucking Roger Waters. Oh yeah, yeah,

320
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:33.599
fucking talking shit about Ozzie, Like, dude, the dude just

321
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.759
passed away. His family is in mourning.

322
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:38.000
He's a real person.

323
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:39.119
Yet.

324
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.680
Yeah, whether you liked Osbourne or not, or whether you

325
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:44.599
liked his music or not, or wherever you agreed with

326
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.319
his opinions. And yes, as he did some fucking stupid shit,

327
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:50.079
like he was high off his drugs. He did stupid

328
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:52.079
stuff like bite the heads of animals. He did some

329
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.000
other horrible things with animals knocking into But I loved

330
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:58.160
Ozzie Olsbourne. I loved Ozzie growing up. He influenced me

331
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:02.440
as a musician, influenced metal as a music. He influenced

332
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:05.440
every single person that is in this genre. Cannot like

333
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:07.160
there's no one that can stand back, Like we wouldn't

334
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:08.680
be here without all the else, you know what I mean,

335
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.720
There's so much, whether you dislike the guy you so

336
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.039
much to be grateful for.

337
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.160
The end of the day, all that bad, shitty day

338
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.599
ended up a good human being.

339
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.240
You know, people change, people fucking change people. We stopped

340
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.599
taking drugs, people stop fucking drinking all the time. People

341
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.559
try to change their ways, but this is the society

342
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:28.079
that we live in now. Man, you don't get that

343
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.039
second chance anymore. You make one mistake and you're fucking

344
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:31.640
out the door. You know what I mean, It's not

345
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:38.519
we're humans. We are creatures of chaos. We're creatures of emotion.

346
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.440
We have anger, we have sadness, we hate, we have animosity,

347
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.680
we have everything withinside us and every single person that's

348
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.480
on this bonnet has that. So also be kind to people.

349
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.079
Take a step back, realize situations that other people were

350
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.920
in and obviously there are whankers out there as well

351
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.400
that don't deserve those chances. But try and be kind,

352
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.279
try and try and remember that we're all try to

353
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.680
get from A to B and we're all trying to

354
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:05.160
get there the same way, and we're all trying to

355
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:06.440
work shit out our own ways.

356
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:09.559
Like so yeah, and so that's what I love about

357
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.319
your music, because your music is not only badass and

358
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:19.319
heavy as shit, but it sends strong positive messages and

359
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:25.039
talks against the negativity in society. And I'm all about that.

360
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:28.440
And I don't know, like, it's funny you made a

361
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.599
comment earlier and I'm thinking, now we've really made the

362
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.599
radio bleed today, But that's it.

363
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:40.000
So funny. Story about the actual song title, so Radiobly,

364
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.799
we was a replacement for a track that we had

365
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.599
written on the album that we weren't very happy with,

366
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.759
and so we've shelved up for now, we're keeping some

367
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.319
of the risk. We're going to deconstruct it and we'll

368
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.319
obviously probably built it into a track in the future.

369
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:54.119
So we took that song of the album and we

370
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:58.000
needed another song. So Nick on research she went to

371
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.519
Racist Elswitz, where We do all the demos, so Reese

372
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.359
is our drummer. For anybody who doesn't know, Reese records

373
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.920
all of our demos and then we obviously take them

374
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.400
into the studio so that we're a bit prepared for Josh.

375
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.359
Josh is like the fifth member of this band. Without Josh,

376
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.799
our songs wouldn't sound anything like the way they do.

377
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.559
We help write, we have ideas. We collaborate on our

378
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.160
music together, and I think that's what a good producer does.

379
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:21.960
It's a collaboration. It's not just band go and record

380
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.319
this shit. And it's not just a producer being like

381
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.599
I'm going to changes because I like it. It's the collaboration,

382
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.039
which is what we've always had with Josh. So we

383
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.599
took this song off the album and we were driving

384
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.480
in the car after I had heard the initial song,

385
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:39.000
and it was fantastic. Like I remember recent Nick sending

386
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.000
the riffs through for Radio Bleed and just being like,

387
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.319
this is fucking class this literally, And I'm quite picky,

388
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:46.880
so a lot of the times, like when they sent

389
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.400
me stuff, I'll be like, no, no, this needs to

390
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.960
be changed, this needs to go here, this needs to

391
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.359
go there. But they sent me the song. It was

392
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:54.799
essentially perfect, and it's the first time that that ever happened.

393
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.920
So the main thing that stuck out to me was

394
00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:59.880
there was that main riff the whole way through the

395
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.359
down but the bam but damn but but the bam

396
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.200
but damn. So that's like, it was so repetitive, and

397
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.519
it's so throughout the song, and it pops up in

398
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:11.359
different places in the background, and I was like, that's

399
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.960
like one riff the whole way through the song, but

400
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.240
it's in different variations and we're doing different things with

401
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.319
it and there's stops. I was like, whatever songs do

402
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:22.279
that bleed Bleed by My Sugar was, And I know

403
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.960
they're not similar. I know that they're not in the

404
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:30.119
even in the same same genre, but the same Yeah, yeah,

405
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.079
having that same riff pattern the whole way through. But

406
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.519
then we were like, but let's let's make it like

407
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.720
Bleed but something you'd maybe hear on a rock radio station,

408
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:40.839
because you know, like My Sugar isn't getting played at

409
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.839
two o'clock in the afternoon on a rock radio station.

410
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:45.960
But I will kind of give it that New age feel,

411
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:48.720
a bit of hip hop with the DJ scratch and

412
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:50.279
stuff in the background and kind of bring it in

413
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:52.960
the twenty twenty five. So that is where the song

414
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:54.160
name radio Bleed comes from.

415
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:54.720
I love it.

416
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:56.400
It could be like a radio version of blea.

417
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.799
I love it. That's pretty cool. And I really dug

418
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:05.279
too about the video is that it was done in

419
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:09.039
a skateboard part because I'm a skateboarder. The only thing

420
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:11.000
I have to say is, man, you guys should have

421
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.519
been skateboarding while playing. Well we were.

422
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.440
If you actually, if you look at the video, are

423
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:20.640
guitarist Nick. There's a few shots of Nick in the background,

424
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.480
and there's a few shots of Nick with the guitar

425
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:24.559
on the skateboard.

426
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:27.920
See I missed the part or the guitar on the skateboard,

427
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:29.359
so yeah, he is.

428
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.200
There's a few shots.

429
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:31.319
I corrected.

430
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:35.440
That's either because like, there's so much happening. It's such

431
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.839
a busy video, and we decided we wanted to do

432
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.759
it in in four to three because we just you know,

433
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:43.519
bit edgy ear. Put those black bars at the side,

434
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:46.240
rewind people back to the nineties and how music videos

435
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:48.799
used to look. They're not in sixteen nine anymore. It's

436
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.079
not all clean, it's not all polished. That was kind

437
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:54.319
of the aspect of it. And the main message in

438
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:59.519
between between between behind uh radio bleed is so we've

439
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:04.160
all had a friendship or a relationship, or we've known

440
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.920
somebody and that has either went toxic or they've fallen out,

441
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.279
or that person has stabbed them in the back, and

442
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.240
we've all kind of felt that way. And you know yourself,

443
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:15.960
whether it be an individual or a group of people,

444
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:19.319
you always feel ostracized. You feel isolated, you feel on

445
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.039
your own, you feel like you've got nowhere to turn

446
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:23.880
to and nobody to speak to when you're going through

447
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:28.200
that situation with either those people or those individuals. And

448
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.359
then you realize when you take a step back and

449
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.400
you take a breath and you look around you, there's

450
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:36.240
always someone to speak to, whether it's a friend, whether

451
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:39.519
it's a family member, whether it's just reaching out to somebody.

452
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:42.039
If you don't have any immediate friends or family. There's

453
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:46.160
other support groups, there's other charities, there's stuff. There is

454
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:48.559
always going to be somebody who will open an ear

455
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:50.680
and listen to you, no matter how isolated and how

456
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:53.920
ostracized you feel like you are being from society, from

457
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.839
your friends, from your family, and radiobled is about to

458
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.559
goeverness within that. So it's about finding a piece within

459
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:06.039
the chaos and finding the the community where you belong

460
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.240
kind of thing. And that was, you know, just kind

461
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:10.440
of put your feet back, having a beer, drinking some

462
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.319
buck fast as we do in the video as well.

463
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:15.559
And they were not props. They were actually gone.

464
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:21.039
Well listen, you wouldn't be irish if they were props.

465
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.000
And you know what's cool too, is as you were

466
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:29.400
talking about the old school nineties thing, I was thinking

467
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.880
about him, like, you know, not the music itself, but

468
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:39.559
the video gives me like reminders of old suicidal videos.

469
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:44.119
Yeah, that's it. It's old school suicidal tendencies, old school

470
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:50.240
Pantera Like, it's all that, like old school nineties togetherness

471
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:52.880
as well. Get off your fucking phone, stop scrolling, go

472
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:54.839
and sit in the skate park where your friends have

473
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.160
a drink. What's your mate to a kickflip, break his

474
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.359
fucking wrist and not see you again for three months.

475
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.319
But that's that's real life, you know what I mean? Like,

476
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:05.279
that's yeah, it's that is the world that we live in,

477
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:08.119
and it's a bit more of what we want to capture.

478
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.559
We want to One of the sentences I've said about

479
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.359
our music before is that it is familiar and reminiscent,

480
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.920
but it's also current and cohesive. So it's we've got

481
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.480
all those aspects of the old school bands that influence this,

482
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:27.559
like Pantera, like Machine Head, like uh Jus Praise blocksab

483
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:30.599
of all those guys. There's elements of that old school

484
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.079
sound within our music and within our even our visuals

485
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.480
and the way we look. But also we wanted to

486
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.720
make sure that a new, polished radio sound.

487
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.720
And I love hearing that too, because nowadays I find

488
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:51.640
that I don't know a lot of metal is so programmatic,

489
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:54.519
is the best way to put it. I I call

490
00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:57.440
it like an algebraic equation to make a metal song.

491
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.400
And they and like some of these, like with the

492
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.599
micro genres. That's why I love it. You know, it's

493
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.039
funny you made me laugh when you're saying how you

494
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.359
came up with groove core, because I do that shit

495
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:12.119
in interviews at festivals all the time. I'll have bands like,

496
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:15.839
if you were to pick what genre and make up

497
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.359
a new genre that was your genre, what would be?

498
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.400
And I do it because it's so ridiculous how many

499
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.319
genres subgenres. Micro genres there are that. Yeah, there might

500
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:29.079
as well be one for every band because it's so

501
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.359
stupid and and a lot of those genres they're so

502
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.240
fine tune that they use a you know, a formula

503
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:39.559
to make metal music. Metal music was never a formula.

504
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:43.440
So bands like you that are bringing in different elements

505
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:48.559
that's what makes you unique and stand out because it's

506
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:50.720
it's not predictable.

507
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:54.079
It's sole, and it's it's the same as our live performance.

508
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:57.000
Anybody who's ever came to see us live. Yes, we

509
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.720
use box trucks. I think it's probably in this day

510
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.000
and age, fucking stupid not to use them. But our

511
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:09.359
back tracks are so minimalistic. You will literally hear maybe

512
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:13.160
some sense or something in the background, but what you're

513
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:16.400
seeing live is live as fuck. We don't use in ears.

514
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:20.079
We still play through the monitor. I don't use anything

515
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:22.079
at all. The only person that uses any sort of

516
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:23.440
click track or anything like that in the band is

517
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:25.480
O drummer, and that's just to keep the rest of

518
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:27.640
us tight. Everything else is just off him. So we

519
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.519
play like a traditional band as well. And it's been

520
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:32.480
said to us so many times when people are kind

521
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:36.599
to say his life. It's raw, it's energetic, it's impactful,

522
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:38.559
and you feel like you've gone to see a live band.

523
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:41.480
I have seen so many bands recently, man, and I'm

524
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.480
actually fucking sick of it, to be honest, going to

525
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:50.039
see bands that sound exactly like they do on record. Yeah,

526
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:53.960
we not differentiate, they don't try. There's no jamming, there's

527
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:58.720
no mistakes, there's no mistakes, there's no there's no fucking about,

528
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:02.480
there's no like you know, we have a so we do.

529
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:05.279
We pulls our bocking truck a few times throughout our set,

530
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.519
and we do things on top of that. So our

531
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.000
druma will hit pause and we will just well riff.

532
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:13.799
We'll do some bits and pieces, and it's something that's

533
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:16.920
lost in music now. And I've seen bonds as well.

534
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.440
They all have their in ears in they're hearing everything

535
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:22.440
coming through their head and they're completely disconnected from their

536
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.000
crowded don't. They don't speak to anybody, like I've said,

537
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:27.680
they just stand there and they played their music the

538
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:29.279
funk off. They don't go We'll get the fuck up

539
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:31.640
on stage, you know, Oh put this fucking place up.

540
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:34.799
I was gonna say if I was singing and I

541
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:38.000
had the ind Ears in, I would not even feel

542
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:39.759
like I was there. I would feel like I was

543
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:42.680
in a studio, you know, like you want to be

544
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.759
part of the audience. I want to hear the audience.

545
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:48.799
I want to feel the audience. I want to be

546
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.920
part of it, you know. So to your point of

547
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.519
being disconnected, yeah, I've always felt that with the in Ears,

548
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:58.920
Like if I were a singer, I wouldn't want that ship,

549
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:02.079
you know, I wanted to be part of it. That's

550
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:03.880
part of being a front person too.

551
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.119
And we never want to move to That's something that

552
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:09.000
I've said. I don't know that probably doesn't align with

553
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:12.720
certain maybe labels or certain management or anything like that,

554
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:14.759
but it's not something that we're willing to compromise on.

555
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.279
Our live sound is fucking good like and that's me

556
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.759
speaking non biased from somebody who has just heard videos

557
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:24.799
of us, who has seen videos of us play. Our

558
00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:27.799
life sounds good and it doesn't need any more than

559
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:29.759
what it's got. Now. Would I want to add more

560
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.400
production in stage shows, some screens and shit behind us

561
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.000
doing cool stuff? You know, fire all that shit one

562
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:38.000
hundred percent right, Visuals.

563
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.559
Different, that's just a performance. Part of aspect of it, but.

564
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.599
The actual sound that stays the same because that's where

565
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:46.759
our that's our heart, you know what I mean, that's

566
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:50.720
our soul. That's where, that's our expressionism. That's where we

567
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.000
get the fuck about. That's where we get to interact

568
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:55.400
with our fans. That's how we create these unique live

569
00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:57.880
experiences where people are coming and they're fucking climbing up

570
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.480
poles and all sorts. Like we've got people climb on

571
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:02.400
roofs and everything in our shows, like it's been wild.

572
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:05.720
I love it. That's old school too, because I've been

573
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:07.519
at shows like that back in the day.

574
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:10.680
Yeah, and I think you lose that now. I think

575
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:12.759
in airs you lose that. And I've been, like I said,

576
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.599
so many so many bonds that I've seen recently, and

577
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.599
they're just standing on stage, they're going through the motions

578
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:20.599
they're playing. I get it as well, if you're a

579
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.880
tour or not, it's exhausting. It is exhausting, like being

580
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:26.039
on the road for so long. And I get that

581
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:27.640
sometimes you might just have a night where you want

582
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:31.519
to stand. But I think that if there are people,

583
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:33.640
it's like being paid for a service, isn't it? Like

584
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.559
your your fans are paying tickets to come and see.

585
00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:40.599
Yeah, if you're a true artist, yes it's tiring, but

586
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:44.519
once the year up on that stage, it's like you

587
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:49.880
go into the zone. Like even me times when I'm sick,

588
00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:52.480
as soon as I turn on the mic, I'm not sick.

589
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:54.839
I don't allow myself to be in my head and

590
00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:57.680
since the MIC's off, then I can fucking die. That's

591
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:02.160
the way I look at it, okay, And that anybody

592
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:05.480
that has passion for what they do, that is how

593
00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:05.880
it is.

594
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:06.079
Like.

595
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:09.599
You know, you're in the zone. You're up on stage,

596
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:13.000
and yeah, you may be tired as fuck, but the

597
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:16.119
real artist give it everything they have and leave it

598
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:17.079
all on the stage.

599
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.839
Yeah. And it's something that I'll say about my boys

600
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:21.880
as well. And I'm not just do in flight my

601
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:25.880
own ego here to like obviously, Race sets behind the kit.

602
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:28.359
Race is behind a kit. He gets he stands up

603
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:30.039
every now and again, he'll go give a bit of

604
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:31.440
a shout to the crowd and put his hands up

605
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:34.160
and shit, but he's behind a kit. And then you've

606
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.799
got Nick, who is fucking crazy, Like Nick is climbing

607
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:40.960
over the crowd. Nick is in the crowd like every

608
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:43.000
single show we played up boy is in the crowd

609
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.079
with a circle pit or some shit going around him.

610
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.160
Lee is the same, Lee gets off stage a bit,

611
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.240
But Lee is the difference between Lee and Nick is

612
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.160
Lee's a classically trained musician. Lee has a master's in music,

613
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.519
which he never talks about by the way talking time,

614
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.359
But Lea is classically trained. And when you watch Lee play,

615
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.279
he plays a six string bass. We match our six

616
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:11.480
string guitar with a six string bass, and Leah's like

617
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:14.839
just fucking doing loads of odd slapping shit and he's

618
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.279
doing loads of like crazy almost toasting a BASSI sort

619
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:20.119
of styles stop it on bass. And it's the difference

620
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.920
between them too. Lee's effort and energy goes into his precision,

621
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.000
whereas Nick's effort and energy goes into giving a good

622
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.160
stage show alongside me. So we've got a really nice balance.

623
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.960
We've got the sound and everything being leveled right and

624
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:37.359
everything being having that polished sound, but there's also that

625
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.720
rawness and that aggression and that energy to the performance

626
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:41.039
as well.

627
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:45.000
Nice And speaking of live, you have some tour dams

628
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.079
coming up this month and next month, including one that

629
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.559
is in your hometown at Limelight in Belfast.

630
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:54.079
Yep.

631
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:57.920
So that brought me back because I used to hang

632
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.200
out at a club Line Light in New York. That

633
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:04.720
was a famous club back in the day. Yeah, that

634
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:09.039
was insane and it was an old church that was

635
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:12.720
converted into a club, so you would climb up to

636
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:18.200
the top and ring the bell like after you got drunk, stupid.

637
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:21.039
Yeah. The Linme Light's kind of our home ground, so

638
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.559
that would be our home stage. We play the majority

639
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:28.119
of our headline shows and majority of our support shows

640
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.799
and stuff were in the Lime Light. And yeah, we've

641
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:34.839
got so this month in September, we are in Nottingham.

642
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.680
On the twenty fourth, we're in Birmingham and Subside on

643
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:41.039
the twenty fifth. On the twenty sixth we're in the

644
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:45.079
Griffin and Bristol. On the twenty seventh were in San

645
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.440
Diego's and the Eads, and then on the twenty eighth

646
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:51.240
we finish up in Newcastle. That's the UK leg and

647
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:54.319
then we are back for the eighth, ninth and tenth.

00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.640

and then the ninth is in Belfast with Thy Artist

650
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:06.519
Murder and Harriet, and then tenth saying I don't know

651
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:08.159
why I said their name twice, but yeah, we're in Dublin.

652
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:12.280
But yeah, that was That was a That is one

653
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:14.280
of the biggest achievements we've probably had to date, was

654
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:18.039
landing that tour Nice with artist murdered. It's a fucking

655
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:21.599
huge band. Yeah, Harriet as well. They're an up and

656
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:24.519
common British band and they are fucking outstanding.

657
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:27.760
If you've oh, yeah, they're badass. I interviewed them over

658
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:29.320
at Bloodstock.

659
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:31.519
They're yeah, they're great and they seem like we haven't

660
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:33.360
really met them when we've spoken them an yet, but

661
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:35.480
they all seem like nice people. They all like give

662
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:39.039
they've like, uh, I think it's Jillian's their drummer, like

663
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.159
he gives us the time of day, responds the messages

664
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:44.000
and stuff like that. And that's what it's all about,

665
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:46.360
isn't it. It's like it's something that we do as well,

666
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:48.679
like it's anyone who reaches out for our social media's

667
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:50.679
and I guess this goes out to anybody who's listening

668
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.440
right now. A big part of what we do is

669
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:56.800
about the governess. It's about mental health, it's about supporting

670
00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:59.599
each other, it's about community. I have a massive, Hate

671
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:03.199
Brief and Hatebrey sort of got me into hardcore, which

672
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:05.800
is my biggest love of music at the moment. Especially

673
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:11.480
hardcore is you know, it's about standing shoulder to the

674
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:13.360
shoulder with your friends. It's about picking your made up

675
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:15.360
if they're full, and it's about picking strangers up if

676
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:20.039
they've fallen. It's inclusivity again, and that is a big

677
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:21.440
part of what our music is a well, that's why

678
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:25.119
we're called survivalist. We're called survivalists because it's all we're

679
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:26.880
fucking all trying to do to survive on this planet,

680
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:30.320
and we're all trying to do. And for anybody who's

681
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.559
listening to this now, if you're ever struggling, if you

682
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:35.519
ever are, if you're not coping with your head, if

683
00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:38.679
you're not coping with any aspect of your life, our

684
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:41.000
dms are always open. Am I going to get back

685
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.519
to you fucking immediately? Maybe not? Maybe so I might,

686
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.679
I might reply straight away. But if you're having a

687
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:49.480
rough day and you're feeling like there's no fucking other

688
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.199
way out and shit's looking dark and you can't see

689
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.320
the light at the end of the tunnel, never do

690
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:57.239

692
00:35:59.280 --> 00:35:59.480

all that good stuff.

698
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.320
Yeah, of course, so we uh, we're a me albound.

699
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:23.400
We're not a YouTuber, so we we know how how

700
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:25.760
difficult it is to grow YouTube, So we typically use

701
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:28.920
our channels for our videos. Channels like Slam Worldwide. You

702
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.519
can find our music on You can find our music

703
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:35.880
on the Circle Pit TV as well for YouTube, and

704
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:38.119
then our older singles are still on our channel as well,

705
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:41.039
and then we'll maybe upload them in the future at

706
00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:43.039
some point once we finished the album cycle on the

707
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.719
our channel, so they're easier to find for everyone. But

708
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:50.480
for our Instagram is right here. And I did this

709
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:54.159
just before this call, and as I said Pipemin, I said,

710
00:36:54.199 --> 00:36:56.360
