(0:00:05) - Influences, Genres, and Metal Evolution (15 Minutes)
This chapter welcomes Jim from Mastiff, where we explore the band's upcoming album release and its reception as a "Grind sludge molotov cocktail" by Kerrang. I share my excitement about the band's killer music and reflect on the unpredictable weather at music festivals like Download and Bloodstock. Jim and I discuss Mastiff's hardcore evolution and the blend of genres in their new work, emphasizing the freedom and creativity in music without being confined to strict genre labels. We also touch upon how our generation's wide range of influences from the early metal scene has shaped our approach to music, compared to the younger generation's experience with more defined subgenres.
(0:14:55) - Rock Stars and Realness (10 Minutes)
This chapter kicks off with a reflection on Dave Grohl's down-to-earth demeanor despite his superstar status, contrasting it with how fame can negatively affect some artists. We touch on the transformation of certain '80s rockstars who either became humbled over time or continued to carry an inflated ego. The conversation shifts to the evolving ethos within the punk and hardcore scenes, especially regarding monetization and political stances that seem to betray original anarchistic principles. We also chat about the practicalities and changes that come with financial success for bands. I invite listeners to connect with us on social media and pre-order our upcoming album. The segment wraps up with a light-hearted challenge to pronounce the album's tongue-twisting title, "Deprecipice," and a potential contest idea for fans to win tickets to a show, culminating in plans for an interactive feature in the next live show.
(0:24:57) - Discussing Future Festival Opportunities (1 Minutes)
This chapter, we celebrate the aspirations and dreams of a musical guest who yearns to perform at a festival in the US, a goal they consider the ultimate dream. I express my support and enthusiasm for making this dream a reality, mentioning a contest related to US festivals and hinting at a potential collaboration with festival organizer Danny Wimmer in 2025. Our guest appreciates the platform and the opportunity to share their music, while I extend gratitude for their contribution to the show and the world of music. We end on a hopeful note, looking forward to the possibility of their future performances and the impact they'll continue to have on fans like those of "The Adventures of The Pipeman.

They have some killer ass music coming
out, okay, number one,
8
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.200
number two. I have to say
right off the bat that I love something
9
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:15.200
that I read that Korng said about
them and described them in twenty nineteen as
10
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:23.480
a grind sludge Mulotov cocktail. Like
that is the best explanation ever. So
11
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.959
let's welcome to the show. Jim
from Mastiff, How are you hi?
12
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.560
I'm all right? Are you?
I'm good. I'm good. I'm a
13
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.760
little better than you though, because
I'm in Costa Rica right now, and
14
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.840
from what I know, my weather
is a lot better than yours. Right
15
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.079
now, you're probably about three hundred
and sixty four days a year, I
16
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.040
know, right, So I go, I go out there to cover Download
17
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:53.400
and Bloodstock, and you know,
I go and I think it's you know,
18
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.840
I think it's just gonna be summer. It's gonna be great. And
19
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.319
then I'm like, what the fuck? How is it this cold in the
20
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.920
middle of summer, and it's like
bipolar. Like I'll be doing interviews and
21
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.800
in between interviews, I got I'm
putting the hoodie on, taking the hoodie
22
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.719
off, because like, one interview
it's hot, one interview, it's cold.
23
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.719
Although a couple of years ago Bloodstock
it was not cold at all.
24
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.560
Oh my no, it was pretty
brutal. Yeah, that was we played
25
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.039
and it was brutal. Yeah,
but you guys were brutal there because I
26
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:32.719
caught your set at Bloodstock then.
And I think that was also the same
27
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.199
year that I did covered hell Fest
and it was like one hundred and four
28
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:45.479
degrees. Yeah, like literally I
was doing my interviews outside instead of press
29
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.639
tent because it was too hot in
the press tent. So imagine that that
30
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.439
it was nicer outside, cooler outside
at one hundred and four. I mean,
31
00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:02.039
oh my god, like but that's
why. Yeah, So tell us
32
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.439
a little bit about the new album. You got the new album dropping on
33
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:13.719
the twenty second via m n ark
And I was just listening to it like
34
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.159
before the interview. It's kind of
how I get pumped up for the interview.
35
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:21.039
I just listen to the music,
the new music, in the bed,
36
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.960
just hanging out doing my fig and
oh my god, it's just it's
37
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.840
brutal. And it totally went along
with that explanation that Karng gave. Well,
38
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.560
that's cool. Yeah, it's a
hell of an album. You know,
39
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.000
even if I do say so myself, is it does? Yeah,
40
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.240
Karrang have sort of captured what we're
about there with that with that quote,
41
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:47.879
I guess. Yeah, we haven't
deviated massively from previous releases, although this
42
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.159
one does feel a little bit more
hardcore. I think, there you go.
43
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.599
And I love that you do kind
of like blend genres because you know,
44
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.319
we're both kind of an old school
and old school you can do that
45
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.520
crap. And I always saw it
was stupid when I was young. I'm
46
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:11.159
like, isn't a musician just supposed
to experiment, not like just go by
47
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.840
stupid rules. Oh exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
48
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.920
We do. We do fall between
a lot of cracks, or we
49
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.879
peek between a lot of mountains.
Or I don't know anyway, we're Yeah,
50
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.720
we are between quite a lot of
genres, I think, not through
51
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.720
any you know, we're not trying
to be We are lucky enough to be
52
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:38.519
five all the blokes, like you
say, who have got a lot of
53
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.879
influences over the years, and we
all try and you know, pump them
54
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.319
out as quick as we can,
or you know, as much as we
55
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.959
can between us. So it's a
little bit of a doing and throwing out,
56
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.920
you know, towards what style we
would be on each song. I
57
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.920
guess on each track. Yeah,
yeah, So we do try to cover
58
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.959
not try to cover all bases,
but we do cover a lot of bases,
59
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:10.519
you know. And I was thinking
about while you're talking, okay,
60
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:18.839
And so people from our generation got
exposed to very like so many different levels
61
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.199
heading into metal, opposed to I
think the younger generation today. We created
62
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.319
what they have right now. So
there was no like black metal at first.
63
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.800
There was no death metal at first, there was no you know,
64
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.040
there there wasn't even like I'm an
old school thrash metal head. There was
65
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:44.000
no thrash you know. I was
at Metallica's first show ever and they were
66
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.680
considered power metal. Because there was
no such word as thrash metal, you
67
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:53.839
know, and that's some clips for
them that's start with let alone be yeah
68
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.639
right, yeah, I guess yeah, the thresh metal thing. Yeah,
69
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.680
well, all genres, I mean, I mean, I guess it all
70
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:08.040
leads back to your your black Sabbaths
and then your judis pre exactly. Yeah,
71
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.600
yeah, I mean it's all,
but it's it's all irrelevant when you
72
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.279
know, metals metal at the end
of the day, whether it some box
73
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.360
or it don't fit somebox, who
cares. We're not We're not tied to
74
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.279
any genre. Like you said,
we tried to be. Yeah, we
75
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.439
try to have the idea that we
can play anything with bloody like and if
76
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:34.399
if if it sounds masterly enough,
then that's it gets to be kept I
77
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:39.600
guess not normally about ninety percent of
town. So yeah, And you know,
78
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.160
and the point I was getting to
is like you have so many influencers
79
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.800
as a musician over your years of
being around this genre, where I think
80
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:54.680
the younger kids have have different influences
because their influencer more of what was created
81
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:59.879
later, you know, And like
I even know people that are snobby now
82
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:06.519
days, Like I find snobby to
where oh Maiden sucks, and like before
83
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:13.319
all this stuff, Maiden and Priests
were like gods and then yeah, today
84
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.519
you would look at them and go, man, that was metal. That's
85
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.800
kind of It's kind of like I
remember back in the day when Venom first
86
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:26.879
came out and they there, they
did a gig with Slayer in La and
87
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:33.560
Tom and Cronos gone to a fight
backstage because Kronos was like, we're thely
88
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.519
black metal bend. There's no other
black metal band ba And now you ask
89
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:45.120
black metal bands today and they don't
even consider the original Venom as black metal.
90
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.279
Interesting, it's so interesting. Well, surely having having the first album
91
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:57.000
ever called black metal gives you that
we've we've sand sealed and delivered this one
92
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:03.800
so exactly. So what was it
for you? The first thing that you
93
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:11.519
really sticks out on your mind that
told you I want to be a musician
94
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:18.199
and that's it. Well, if
I'm brutally honest with you, it was
95
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.920
a bet in the pub, I
love it. Yeah. Well, no,
96
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.240
thirty years ago there was a gang
of us in the pub in the
97
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.320
boozer whatever you want to call it, the bar, and a guy who
98
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.840
was with us who not that I
can play new instruments, but a guy
99
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.759
who was with us who can play
instruments better as a four months in four
100
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.840
months, you can't play gig.
And we were like, right, who
101
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:54.639
sat around the table. There was
a drummer luckily, a very loose bassist,
102
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.879
a guitarist obviously, and then there
was two singers or two mates who
103
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.480
wanted to be singers, which obviously
I was one of them and Paul Chris
104
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.960
at the time, and we were
like, okay, red rag to a
105
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.360
bull to most of us, And
four months later we were playing our first
106
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.159
gig. Not not massive that it's
not massive, but it was you know,
107
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.000
it was the leading into a thirty
year I wouldn't call it Korea,
108
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.679
but a hobby, a thirty year
hobby, I know, right, Like
109
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.159
is it cool though that your hobby
can be your career, Like that's the
110
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:31.919
way it should be. Yeah,
yeah, it's just fun, you know.
111
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.639
Case how many people get to sort
of do this shit and get away
112
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.399
with doing whatever the you know,
doing gigs and other people suddenly buying into
113
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.480
it and going okay, yeah,
you're you're all right, you're all right,
114
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.960
Well, I don't mind you.
It is it's and there's so much
115
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.200
competition nowadays that when you're a band
like you that can still stick out with
116
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:03.279
new music today, that I so
to me because there's so much out there,
117
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.000
you know, it's not like the
tape trading days, okay, Like
118
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:11.360
there's millions of songs that anybody can
listen to at their fingertips, you know,
119
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.080
like me, like you, probably
I had to actually buy an album
120
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.000
to know what it even sounded like. Oh god, yeah, yeah,
121
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.159
and luckily you know he's come back
around. I guess for physical copies.
122
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.440
I love. I love buying vinyl
when I when on as I can afford
123
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.279
it. But yeah, it's you
know, I still I'm surrounded by the
124
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.159
stuff at the moment. So yeah, but shuts all the wife too much.
125
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.679
Oh I love that, And I
love that you brought that up too,
126
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.960
because people think of musicians and they
have this idea in their mind,
127
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.279
and really a lot of them are
family people, married, have kids,
128
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:54.519
and like, just because you are
who you are on stage doesn't mean people
129
00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:00.240
know what you are off stage.
And I think you want to get away
130
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.320
from that, like, especially if
you're touring. Okay, so when you
131
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.759
go home, I don't think you
want to be in tour mode. You
132
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:11.200
want to be in you know,
home recuperating. Chide, Yeah, you
133
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.320
can't live in you can't live in
rock and roll mode. Sorry, I
134
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:20.320
keep doing this, but rock and
roll mode all the time. It's got
135
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:28.039
a you know, normality is normality, and the majority of musicians or singers
136
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.639
like myself, we don't know it's
it's it's just a normal life. And
137
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.639
then for however long you're touring,
you get to go into tour mode.
138
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.320
So yeah, I'd rather be that
way. I think it keeps you,
139
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.200
it keeps the reality, it keeps
a reality check on yourself as well.
140
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.440
So no doubt, let's call what
it is. When you're getting up on
141
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.279
stage, you're entertaining, You're you're
a performer. You know, even in
142
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.679
radio, like I have so many
funny stories of people that have known me
143
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.879
my whole life and they listen my
radio show and not and not the serious
144
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.559
part, because there's like the shock
jock part too, and they're like,
145
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.320
what the fuck happened to you?
And I'm like, I'm just playing a
146
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.840
role on the radio man. It's
like even you know, my radio name
147
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.600
is pipe Man, but that's not
my name in real life. But like
148
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.639
it's so funny. People walk up
to me and they're like, hey,
149
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.840
what's up, pipe man, And
then like if they meet Dean, which
150
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:33.200
is my real name, like that
they're kind of confused because they're expecting pipe
151
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:39.240
man. Yeah, we've got a
similar thing here in the UK. My
152
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.679
real name is Jim, but I'm
more known to most people. Is no
153
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:50.639
bad say there you go, and
uh it is. Actually it is kind
154
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.159
of funny too, isn't it.
Like even I'll go on tour and do
155
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.360
all these festivals and do radio coverage
and I one of the most fun parts
156
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.679
about that is when I'm sitting out
in the crowd with some of my band
157
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:11.960
friends and nobody knows it's them.
We laugh about it because we're sitting in
158
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.240
this like huge crowd, not hiding, and and it'll be like somebody that
159
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.000
everybody would know if he was on
stage or she was on stage, and
160
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:26.919
they just have no clue who and
some glasses and yeah, you're blending.
161
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.440
And see that's cool because that's an
earn thing I always talk about that people
162
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:37.000
don't understand, Like, especially if
I bring helpers to do the interviews backstage
163
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.639
at these festivals, I'm like I
have a rule. I tell him,
164
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:46.320
like, listen, this is their
safe zone. Okay, we don't fangirl
165
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.080
or fanboy out back here. Don't
ask for aiografts, don't ask for selfies,
166
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.440
and we're all on equal level back
here. They have to deal with
167
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:01.840
enough of that out there. Like
let them have this time to you know,
168
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.679
just be themselves and not have to
you know, have the switch on,
169
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.039
so to speak. Absolutely, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean
170
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:16.360
I was looking enough to once like
be stud shoulders shoulder with Dave Grohl when
171
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:22.559
he's ex I think it's his ex
wife was playing in Veruca Salt and we
172
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.440
were at a festival in England and
my palor was stood next to we just
173
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.480
went, oh look it's next year. I was like, oh my god,
174
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.759
right hella and he was like yea, all right, and that was
175
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.240
it. And that's you know,
that's I think all anybody really wants.
176
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:43.320
They don't want the the punishers all
the time, every bloody moment, do
177
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.240
they They're just we're all humans.
We're all just normal people. We've just
178
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:54.120
been lucky enough to write music that
people are in. So that's all absolutely,
179
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.519
And you know, it's funny you
mentioned Dave Grohl because like I'll go
180
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.960
do like dime Back Diamondbag Bash,
and uh, he's just sitting there barbecuing
181
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:11.159
for every boy he did. I
mean, like obviously I've only ever sort
182
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.519
of stood next to him, But
the guy is just he just comes across
183
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:20.960
as the most normal superstar I know, right he is. He's like the
184
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.159
most normal dude. So yeah,
Dave's like the nicest guy in rock and
185
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.639
roll, and everybody that knows him
says that he doesn't even like think of
186
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.000
himself as a rock star, Okay, and that's what makes him cool.
187
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.919
Yeah, yeah, that's the best
kind of rockstar. You fall foul.
188
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:50.799
I think you certainly see people falling
full of the first album superstardom, leaving
189
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:56.320
their own bullshit, and then you're
like, oh, okay, you're dick
190
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:06.360
that you know. There were like
I spent the eighties on the Sunset Strip
191
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.720
and so I met a lot of
those bands and hung out with them as
192
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.879
a teenager, and a lot of
bands they it did go to their head
193
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.480
and they were like total dicks.
Now fast forward to today, some of
194
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.039
those people turned into they got humbled
and turned into nice guys. Some of
195
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:33.399
them haven't had like hit since the
eighties and they still think they're God's gift
196
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:40.080
to music. Yeah, well yeah, how how do you know I was
197
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:48.679
on about them? Yeah, there's
yeah, I mean yeah, but then
198
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.440
I suppose in every genre there's there's
certain types. I mean, we've been
199
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.559
to big hardcore bun shows. I'm
being surprised that they're charging a meet and
200
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:02.039
great thing like hard calls. Not
about that, right, I know everyone's
201
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.519
going to make a living, but
come on, do Jesus. It is
202
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.200
mird. It is kind of weird
nowadays sometimes, Like I also found what
203
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:18.079
was weird because I'm totally into punk
too, and a lot of punk bands
204
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.240
that were known for being like anarchists
and all it and talking against the government
205
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.880
all of a sudden became pro government, and I like scratched my head.
206
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:34.359
I'm like, that's like the antithesis
of punk. Yeah that is, Yeah,
207
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.319
that's that's pretty much everything that you
could do wrong. You've just done
208
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.880
wrong there. Yeah, it's yeah. Yeah, I mean, I know,
209
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.759
people make money and it does change
him obviously, it's going to change
210
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.680
your your living style and everything.
I mean, Christ, you can't you
211
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:56.039
can't live. You can't live like
gg Allen. You know, for the
212
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.640
rest of your life when you've got
a million dollars in the bank or a
213
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.759
million around you know. But I
guess you know, there's always a moment
214
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.000
where you've got to be You've got
to be realistic about what you're doing and
215
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:15.480
don't don't undermine your own Yeah,
I don't mind somebody having a better life,
216
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.960
just don't be a dick about it. Yeah, exactly. You know,
217
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:25.359
So tell everybody how they can connect
to you guys on socials, how
218
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.640
they can pre order the album that
drops on the twenty second. I know
219
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:36.359
you have a cool link tree that
links to everything, so that if you
220
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:44.839
search us on any of the socials
just about we're massive hitch c itchc And
221
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.920
like I said, there's there's links
to everything, there's pre order links,
222
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.240
there's so it's all the rest of
it. You know, we're we're no
223
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.759
different from most of the bands out
there that way. We're all just trying
224
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.680
to viuy for the small little gap
in the market. And you know,
225
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.160
if anyone's interested, there's there's the
pre orders there and we'll we post them
226
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:10.559
out personally. Still, so now
I could tell you too, it's a
227
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:15.480
little bit of a tongue Twister the
name of the album, and so I've
228
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.599
kind of I'm like, I want
to get a good laugh from you because
229
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.799
I'm going to try to say it
and I know I'm going to butcher it
230
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:34.079
right now. So let's see depress
it's up right, Just just go basic
231
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:40.759
it's depressor piece. Oh but there

lost it in the middle. One too
233
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:52.480
many letters. I believe, I
know right, it's definitely and I'm sure
234
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.240
you won't with the last You should
you guys should do like a contest for
235
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.440
like a free ticket to of your
shows for who can say that ten times
236
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:07.599

a contest. Yeah. In fact,
237
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.960
you know what I'm gonna do.

to do it. That would be great,
243
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.640
I might ring in and sweep the
ball to here. Uh that that
244
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.839

248
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.880
after the interview we'll talk about I'll
give you all the deats and uh.
249
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:12.079
The last thing I want to say
is I just absolutely love love love your
250
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:18.000
slogan. Okay, and I'm a
see and I gotta say I'm a very
251
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.079
motivational, positive person that loves your
slogan. And I want to say that
252
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:30.200
ahead of time because it's a miserable
band from a miserable city spot. I
253
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.680
mean, you know, if anybody's
ever been to Hole, it is that.
254
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:41.000
But it's our miserable city and we'll
do empty gree so it's uh,
255
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:48.839
it's it's our miserable shit. I'm
wondering there's another band I can't remember who
256
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.839
it is that I interviewed. I'd
either download or Bloodstock that was also from
257
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.759
Hull and was saying the exact same
stuff, and I was like, I
258
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:06.559
can't remember who it is. It
might have been Blacks. I don't think
259
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.720
it was that one else could it
have been I'm just trying to think who
260
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:15.079
else has played Bloodstuck? What recently? Yeah, within you know, post
261
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:22.799
COVID, I can't remember. So
I'll give you one other funny thing here.
262
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.279
Okay. My second wife, she
was British. Okay, okay.
263
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.160
And I don't know if you know
this, but especially women when they come
264
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.440
over to the United States, they
play this role like they're the Queen of
265
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:44.119
England, okay, and they She
was no different. She had this hoity
266
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:49.720
toity attitude and you know, nose
down on Americans and acted like she was
267
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:55.519
this royal and she took advantage of
the place that I had. In fact,
268
00:22:55.559 --> 00:23:00.359
I had no clue about the town
she was from, and later,
269
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.559
after being divorced, I found out
from talking to my English friends, like
270
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.000
about that town, what it's about. So you'll love this, Okay,
271
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:19.279
she's from Newcastle. Okay. Well, I'm really surprised at that because most
272
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:25.400
of us, most of us,
and this is no disrespect to the Southern
273
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:32.039
people, but most Northerners are quite
humble people normally you would think, but
274
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:36.599
you know, they come over here
and they want to act like you know,
275
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:42.680
because for Americans have never been to
the UK, they think that all
276
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:48.079
the UK is it like highly you
know, high class, toity toity,
277
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:53.640
royal people, you know. I
mean, so it's easy for somebody like
278
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:59.559
that to come and play it off, you know, Otherwise you're not going
279
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:06.000
to sing the man you want to
get by acting like white trash. Oh
280
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:11.160
maybe you would. We got enough
of it in America, so we don't
281
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:18.799
need some British girl for that.
Which Oh man, good stuff. I
282
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.680
love it. I love your new
music, badass, And you guys are
283
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:30.000
also going to be on tour in
the UK and I think some other European
284
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.200
countries. You're playing a festival in
Poland, I believe. And yeah,
285
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.400
well yeah, we've seen we've got
to see what's what's available on what's out
286
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.400
there. And as we said earlier, there's so many bands out at the
287
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:47.279
moment who are just blowing my mind
with what they're putting out. So good
288
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:51.599
stuff. So we're we're hoping once
the album's out and a few more promoters
289
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:56.039
have heard it, then we'll see
what what doors are open for us.
290
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.000
All right, Well cool, I
love it and and I hope I get
291
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:04.720
to see you guys again. Maybe
I have festival in the US too.
292
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:08.200
That would be cool. That would
be the dream. That would be the
293
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.559
dream. Let's make that happen.
See that'll be part of making it happen.
294
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:17.359
When you come into my show tomorrow
and we're talking about one of the
295
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:21.759
US festivals, I'm runing a contest
for that. Then I'm gonna call out
296
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.680
Danny Wimmer and say he's got to
put you on one or more of the
297
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:30.839
festivals in twenty twenty five. I
