00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.640
Hey, you lunt, Yes that's true.

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.039
For see why crazy you?

3
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:22.839
Hello, This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures

4
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:24.920
pipe Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here

5
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.399
with Adam from the Steu Nice here at download.

6
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.079
We are tough to be here. We're very happy. I'm

7
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:34.200
very honored to be honest.

8
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:36.640
The one thing I do feel bad for you for

9
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.880
is you're like here performing in the hottest weather you

10
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.719
could possibly have in the UK.

11
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.280
I know, right, it's either completely pissing it down or

12
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.880
boiling hot, and we've gone with boiling hot.

13
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:51.920
I guess, I guess.

14
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.119
I brought like a little jacket, little scoff and then

15
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.240
I was like Jesus, in.

16
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:01.560
My locker, I have a hoodie of thermal and a

17
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:05.760
beanie and I'm like that beanie. I don't need any

18
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.239
of it, Okay. I was even thinking, sh I wear

19
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.120
shorts today. No, that'll be a bad idea. I'll be

20
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.680
cold because it turned up in shorts.

21
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.040
And then I was like, oh, I'll put on my

22
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.560
smart trousers, my jacket, and then I took it off instantly.

23
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:20.640
Oh my god, through my t shirt.

24
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.519
So I had to pack like so much for this festival,

25
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:29.159
specifically because every time I do Download, it's like bipolar.

26
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.799
The weather we're talking about this now, it might be

27
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:34.799
snowing tonight, who the fuck knows.

28
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:36.319
Yeah, all I'm.

29
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.239
Hoping maybe a little bit of rain at eleven forty

30
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:40.640
five tomorrow morning.

31
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.719
Right, and everyone will come into our ten Right there

32
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:44.000
you go.

33
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.840
I love it. So, huh have you ever played Download before?

34
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.640
So last year we were very honored to be able

35
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.079
to play the Rip Courtyard stage. Oh okay, like the

36
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.560
IP stage. Yeah, so we were so toughed that we

37
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.640
got that opportunity. But then the year after well we

38
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.799
got the cool to be able to come to the

39
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.280
main arena and play the dog Tube stage. So this

40
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.280
is our first time that we're on the poster and

41
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.960
we're playing the Download.

42
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.199
So we're very How does that feel?

43
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.120
Oh, it's quite overwhelming really because you know, of course

44
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.319
I've dreamed about it all my life.

45
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.240
I was going to say, isn't that like the goal

46
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.800
run the very beginning of your music journey? So if

47
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.000
you're in the UK to play Download.

48
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.159
Absolutely, I don't think there's any UK festival that were

49
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.599
topped this moment, to be honest. The only other thing

50
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.680
just playing higher up the bill maybe moving to a

51
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.800
bigger stage over time, and that's what we're dream of afterwards.

52
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.199
I know, right, I think you should play Bloodstock too,

53
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.120
That could be really fun. I love that first of

54
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:44.520
all too.

55
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.479
I've been to Bloodstock, never played it, but would love to.

56
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.439
There you go. You could be like the surprise band.

57
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:52.479
Like a couple of years ago they had the surprise

58
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.039
band in the tent that it was machine Head. So

59
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:56.759
you'll be the next surprise.

60
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.280
Band one day, will be as big as machine right.

61
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.520
So I love your new music.

62
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:05.599
Oh, thank you so much.

63
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.199
It just came out too, Like, I'm so lucky that

64
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.159
the song dropped before download.

65
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:12.319
Yeah, we wanted to.

66
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.599
We released a song about a month ago, and then

67
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.199
we released a song last week just before download, and

68
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.439
do you know what, it's probably the heaviest song we've actually.

69
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.319
That's what I was like, because I interviewed it guys

70
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.360
years ago. Yeah yeah, and then I listened to this song.

71
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.400
I'm like, that's not how I remember them sound. Yeah yeah,

72
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.919
I was like, that's fucking heavy, man. I love that.

73
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:35.199
Yeah, man, we.

74
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.639
Want, of course, we still want to bring that sort

75
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.840
of cinematic that post rock and post hardore feel, but

76
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.280
with our new song. We wanted to just add a

77
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.360
little bit more a bit it, make it a bit

78
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.560
more hench. So, yeah, we released that song last week

79
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.479
and it's been going down well.

80
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:53.599
People are liking it.

81
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.719
And we also thought we're going to release a song

82
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.800
that's a bit more heavier, release it just before download

83
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.080
and get the opportunity could play it download.

84
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.599
Is exactly what we wanted to do, exactly, and so

85
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.719
how exciting is that to play a new song at

86
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.199
download and we.

87
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.599
Can't wait it Really it's a song that just goes

88
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.599
from nough to one hundred right at the beginning. I

89
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.360
want to see that crowd move. So hopefully we'll get

90
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:19.199
to see a move.

91
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.040
I think you will. There's already I only glanced out there,

92
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.319
like I have my whole back here. I'm like, oh

93
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.160
my god, it's gonna be definitely when I come out

94
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.519
of this, Preston, it's gonna be like a madhouse.

95
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.040
Well, I hope you get an opportunity to see more

96
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.519
bands throughout the day. I know obviously you're very busy,

97
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:37.680
but hopefully you get.

98
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:43.800
To pick some and definitely you were high on my list. Okay,

99
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.800
so I'm hoping I can break out of here, which

100
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.959
I probably will. I'm like, sneak out, you're gonna have

101
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.759
to wait on your interview. I have to go to

102
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.120
their set. Sorry, I'll be right back.

103
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:56.720
Exactly.

104
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.839
So what else you got on the horizon after download?

105
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.360
Actually on Monday, this Monday coming, we're announcing a headline

106
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.160
UK tour. We're so excited to be able to because

107
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.480
you know, we're playing tomorrow on the Dog Teeth stage,

108
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.639
but we only have twenty minutes. Our songs are pretty long,

109
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.639
so it doesn't mean we've got many songs to play.

110
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.120
So you got like one song play.

111
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.319
This is our first and our last. Bye.

112
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.560
Yeah, So no, we've only got a few songs to play.

113
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.920
But with that announcement of our headline tour, it gives

114
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.720
the opportunity to play a longer set, be able to

115
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.319
play the songs to showcase Exist Volume one and Exists

116
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.160
Volume two. So we're so excited to be announcing that

117
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.519
on I might announce it on stage tomorrow next yeah,

118
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.920
and then on Monday we'll go live, so we'll be playing.

119
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:43.360
Across the UK.

120
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.560
So yeah, super excited about that. And it also in

121
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.519
September we'll be releasing the full EP itself exists, Volume two.

122
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.079
Yeah, I love it. I love it. So I hope

123
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.680
we're still existing with all the crazy shit in the

124
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.519
world when they're you need to exist with us exactly.

125
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.920
Let's just get an island, Like maybe we could just

126
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.000
go to Jersey. Yeah, stay there, Yeah, rename it. Listelle

127
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.120
and the rest of the world can all kill each

128
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.759
other like they're trying to do right now, and we

129
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.439
could just have some good music.

130
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.720
We can just listen to sad sad music and just

131
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.360
sort of dwell in our emotions, no doubt.

132
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:27.319
One story good or bad. When you're like eighty about

133
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.480
your musical journey, what would it be a good or bad?

134
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.079
One of our funniest stories, it's not even that funny,

135
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.800
but I love this moment is one day we played

136
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.040
an a venue and they we arrived and they said, sorry,

137
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:43.560
you can't come in. I was like, why is that

138
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.720
and they were like, because there's a wake on There's

139
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.240
just been a funeral and there's a wake in the avenue.

140
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.000
So we said, so metal, okay, we will, we will

141
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:52.680
stay outside.

142
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:53.879
We stayed outside for.

143
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.199
A little while, we were just saying when can we

144
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.040
go and sound check? Then the wake came out and

145
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.800
they had platters of food, loads of food, and they

146
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.399
were like, well, we're not going to eat all of this,

147
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.839
and they gave it to us as wow. So we

148
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.879
had this plot table of food and then from that

149
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.480
day we've called it the dead Man's Rider. So whenever

150
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.560
we get a big rider, we're like, not as good

151
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.759
as the dead Man's Right.

152
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.720
I love it. I love it. And that was like

153
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:26.079
probably your original experience with artist Kailerie right exactly.

154
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.759
Yeah, you know what, we don't get looked after that

155
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.399
much when you're so low that saying that. When we

156
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.720
went across to Europe, my goodness, so they look after you.

157
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:35.800
It was nice.

158
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.199
So we're hoping to go back out to Europe hopefully

159
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.240
end of the year or next year and really make

160
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.360
sure that we can showcase our music to like mainland Europe,

161
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.240
Germany and France because we know that they're digging our music,

162
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:51.120
so we'd love to get.

163
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.800
I love it. I love it, Okay. And so here's

164
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.800
a good question. This is my battle vest from the eighties.

165
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.959
Look at both sides and tell me what band you

166
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.680
would want to tour with. Notice is it's old school,

167
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.839
it's before they sold battle this and where you had

168
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.480
to actually make it yourself.

169
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:11.079
Love this.

170
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:17.680
This is amazing. I think, oh my goodness, did you draw?

171
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.839
I drew all that stuff? And then okay, so funny

172
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.959
part here. Slayer didn't even have a patch when I

173
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.120
started making this, so I just got these felt letterings

174
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.959
to put it there. And people in LA were like, oh,

175
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.080
are you in a gang? Is that your gang name?

176
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:35.960
I like that.

177
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.679
I'm gonna go with Slayer because Slay is just iconic.

178
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:41.080
How could you not?

179
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.039
Doesn't suit our music? But you know what, I think it.

180
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.200
Does the new song maybe a little bit, yeah, but

181
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:51.120
I think ultimately, you know, it means that you get

182
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.559
a bit of emoy post hardcore and.

183
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.320
Then you just get some good old classic heavy metal.

184
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:57.720
There you go. There it is.

185
00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:58.519
I love this.

186
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.600
Oh thank you. I don't wear it anymore because it's

187
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.639
like I can't even button it now and I'm not

188
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.440
even big now, so imagine how scrawnye I was back

189
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:08.919
in the day.

190
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.240
Yeah, I can't fit any of my clothes right.

191
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.200
I don't know that i'd want to either. I'm like,

192
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.000
I look at some people my age and they're like, oh,

193
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.200
I'm the same way I was in high school. I'm like, yeah,

194
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:21.720
you look kind of sickly right now.

195
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:25.279
Yeah, I think it just comes get bigger with age.

196
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.360
Right exactly. It's part of it. More to love, that's right.

197
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.799
Anything else insane or anything you want to share with

198
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.480
the listeners that we haven't talked about yet, I don't

199
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:34.799
think so.

200
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:39.000
I think ultimately with Exist Volume two, we're going to

201
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.639
be releasing more music across the rest of the year,

202
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:47.000
releasing more singles, and then ultimately releasing that fullyp in September.

203
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.559
So that's, you know, what we're so excited to do.

204
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.559
And then that headline tour soth nice wear all of that.

205
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.799
Tell everybody how they reach out to you guys on

206
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.360
socials on the web, check out your tour, age, your music,

207
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.639
and most importantly, buy your merch because you can't survive

208
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:02.879
without merch.

209
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.279
No absolutely. I saw a photographer just earlier before our

210
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.919
interview and she was on TikTok wearing our T shirt

211
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:09.879
and she got so much.

212
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.279
Love for the T shirt. So wear our T shirt

213
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.120
and you'll get a lot of compliccy.

214
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:17.159
Now that I know that, Okay, I need new followers

215
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.559
on TikTok, so I'm gonna get wear of your shirts

216
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.000
