familiar with you, guys, how would you the artist ribe

19
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:22.439
you guys?

20
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.359
Well, I'd say Prisoner is definitely your modern mix of

21
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.040
traditional rock and roll and heavy metal with a fresh

22
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.799
take on it and influenced by the modern era. Like

23
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.439
we try to take ideas and things that you know,

24
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.480
a lot of legacy acts started bands like Black Sabbath, ACDC, Megadeth,

25
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.280
things like that where you can always tap your toe

26
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.200
of the music. It's rift riven. And then there's complexity,

27
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.879
speed and harmony to everything that we do, but in

28
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.159
a way that is modern rather than try to be

29
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.439
a carbon copy of these bands. And that.

30
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.959
Actually from me watching your video, and that is like

31
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.000
spot on what I would think, you know, because I

32
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.240
come from the days of like the eighties early metal

33
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.240
and hard rock, and you gave me a vibe of that.

34
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.080
But for twenty twenty.

35
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.039
Four, right on, that's the goal.

36
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.360
There it is, and I love here in the background.

37
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.120
I love that artwork there too. Oh thank you a

38
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.280
big artwork person. So let's and you guys, from a

39
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.680
lot of what I've seen, have some cool artwork. So

40
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.120
let's talk about your artwork because I think that all

41
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.840
goes hand in hand with the music absolutely.

42
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.719
I mean for us, you know, the artwork to us

43
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.800
is just as important as the music, because we want

44
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.280
to create something that the listener can connect to in

45
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.680
a in a complete way, in an auditory and visual way.

46
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.159
And our artwork, so everything that we do is handpainted

47
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.680
by our friend John Garrett, and the reason we have

48
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.240
it hand painted is because one he's a fantastic artist,

49
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.439
but two, you know, there's something to be said about

50
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.000
true authentic artistry. And I feel like in a world

51
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.439
with AI and quick turnaround artwork and like, let's just

52
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.319
get it done so we have something to put out

53
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.599
is in a way not as authentic as I think

54
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.120
having something that's physically hand painted. And I mean where

55
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.879
we're an old school rock and roll band, where you know,

56
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.800
we do anything and everything we can as authentically as

57
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.840
possible in starts of songwriting. Our recording is all analog

58
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.439
in my recording studio here, and I think it's something

59
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.039
that's just as important as the music.

60
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.680
I think it is too, And you know, again being

61
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.639
an old school myself, to me, the whole idea of

62
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.000
music is not just the music itself, but the artwork

63
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.319
that goes along with it. Like you bought an album.

64
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.240
First of all, you bought the album, you don't even

65
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.199
know what it sounded like. It was the artwork that

66
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.319
made you buy the album first. Then you listen to it,

67
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.159
and so it was just a whole, full centory experience.

68
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.719
Just like I love how you said auditory and visual

69
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.039
because you got oratory, visual and canvestag people. And I

70
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.680
think music applies to all those people when you have

71
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.560
the complete package, like you guys do.

72
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.039
Absolutely, and especially in a genre like hard rock and

73
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.959
heavy metal, it's not necessarily just a genre that people

74
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.000
casually listen to. It becomes your lifestyle in terms of

75
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.920
how you dress, who you hang out with, how you

76
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.360
decorate your house, your car, anything and everything. It really

77
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.519
becomes a large part of your personality. And I feel

78
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.000
like the artwork is very much a large part of that.

79
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.399
And like you say, you know, back in the day

80
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.360
when people were going to record stores or even buying

81
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.920
CDs and stuff in the early two thousands, before streaming,

82
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.120
you would go and look at a record and be

83
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.439
enticed by the artwork, and then you'd go home and

84
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:43.920
listen to it. And it was kind of a fifty

85
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.680
to fifty chance. Was it the best thing in the

86
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.040
world or was it like, ah, man, I can't believe

87
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.560
I spent twenty bucks on this, But you know, I

88
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.879
think that's a part of the experience, and when you

89
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.720
connect with an artist in that way, it's super important.

90
00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.360
And for us, this character that we have, Davy is

91
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.879
the guy on the front of this artwork. He's a

92
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.879
character that we've kind of created in a way that

93
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.959
we'll be able to represent the band moving forward from

94
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.600
record to record, because I find a lot of bands

95
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.199
will do concept albums and it's really cool because they

96
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.639
have an entire story, but then the next record can

97
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.360
be completely different, and for us musically, we're consistently changing

98
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.480
and expanding and trying new things. But having a storyline

99
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.839
visually where one day you could put down all of

100
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.360
our albums in a row and you can literally see

101
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.360
the story of this character progressing from record to record

102
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.879
is kind of the full, big idea concept that we're

103
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:34.920
trying to create.

104
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.079
So that's pretty cool. So how did you come up

105
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:39.879
with this concept?

106
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.000
So ironically, I had a guitar strap that I had

107
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.600
gotten when I first started playing guitar with this gargoyle

108
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.079
on it, and I thought that that image was really cool,

109
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.759
and we wanted to create a character similar to Eddie

110
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:58.000
from Iron Maiden or Henry from Sabbath or Rattlehead from

111
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.319
Megadeth that you could use in a way that would

112
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.959
create a story around this character. And the idea and

113
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.439
the name actually came from my twin brother that didn't

114
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.199
actually make it out of the womb. His name was

115
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.240
supposed to be David, and so that's where the name

116
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.800
came from. So it was close to me and my

117
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:19.879
family and things like that. And this character kind of

118
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.240
follows the dream of the band and it just kind

119
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.759
of gives us a way to create a structure around

120
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:27.639
our creative outlet.

121
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:33.399
Wow, that's pretty cool. And so what was that first

122
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.839
moment for you that you knew music was just part

123
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:37.560
of your blood.

124
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.000
Well, I got the opportunity when I was just turning

125
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.079
eighteen to go down to LA and play at this

126
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.600
rock camp thing at the Whiskey. You go go with

127
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.240
Zach Wilde, Paul Gilbert Dey, Mustain, a whole bunch of

128
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.720
these other extremely high caliber musicians. And I got to

129
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.040
play at the Whiskey and I got to play Into

130
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:04.759
the Void with Zach, and my dad came out with

131
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.639
me and filmed the whole thing, and he was like,

132
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.240
you could do this, And that was kind of the

133
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.600
moment where I was like, yeah, like this is everything

134
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.439
I would ever want, So let's go full steam ahead.

135
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.160
I mean, I picked up a guitar pretty late. I

136
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:22.160
started at about fifteen, and it became an obsession. But

137
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.839
I had just been a basement guitar player. I never

138
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.399
really played in front of anybody. I was writing music

139
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.560
for Prisoner, like all of the music from the first

140
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.279
record and his EP was written previous to twenty twenty,

141
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.920
and just finding the right people in the right time

142
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.000
and developing my skills as a vocalist and stuff like that.

143
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.480
All kind of just snowball to now, But it was

144
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.439
kind of right around then where I was like, all right,

145
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.680
this is something that I could potentially pursue full time.

146
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.720
And then that's where I pursued everything in audio, like

147
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.519
my full time job as a recording engineer.

148
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.120
So nice. And see that's cool too, because not a

149
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:03.279
lot of musicians are good that being sound engineers. You know,

150
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.160
it's like two different people. So I love that that

151
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.439
because that means you're a true artist because you know

152
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:12.439
the whole craft.

153
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.959
In my opinion, absolutely well. I feel like this industry

154
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.240
is one of those things where like you can't necessarily

155
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.000
go for a four year degree like a doctor or

156
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.079
a lawyer or something like that, or accounting. It's very

157
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.120
much like spread out and you can kind of go

158
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.680
certain avenues, whether it's management, tech, learning the science behind

159
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.639
music and go a place like Berkeley or Musicians Institute.

160
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.720
So it's kind of like you need to get a

161
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.679
full circle understanding. And especially nowadays, you know, artists are

162
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.480
their own content creators. They're doing anything and everything because

163
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.559
of the way this industry is gone. So for me,

164
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:47.759
you know, I knew it was going to be difficult

165
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.639
to be the guy that was going to play guitar

166
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.279
for the rest of my life. So I wanted to

167
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.279
build a career within the industry so that I could

168
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.559
help myself in any way, shape or form, but also

169
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.080
always create music, whether it went somewhere or not. And

170
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:02.960
I get to be a part of that community.

171
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.960
That's brilliant. And I love how your father was the

172
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.679
supportive factor because a lot of times, you know, our

173
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.480
parents are like, oh, get a real job, but your

174
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:19.679
dad is actually the one that propelled you to do this,

175
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:20.720
So that's cool as hell.

176
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.919
Absolutely. Yeah, both my parents, my mom and dad, had

177
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.080
been extremely supportive and they were like, you know, when

178
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.039
I was about eighteen, They're like, okay, so you want

179
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:30.720
to be a guitar player, but you need to understand

180
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.080
that that's difficult. So I ended up going to a

181
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.879
Community College here in Calgary and took a broadcast system

182
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.080
tech program to learn how to fix audio and video

183
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.159
equipments and radio and TV stations so I could learn

184
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.000
the tech side. I can take apart my own gear,

185
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.159
fix things, and at least have an intelligent conversation with

186
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.320
someone in that side of the industry. And then I

187
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.879
moved to London, Ontario, where Prisoner originally started with a

188
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.799
full lineup, and I found the people where I went

189
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.679
to audio production school, and then from there moved to

190
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.759
LA and had a reiterating life up of the band,

191
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.720
just kind of just trying to understand the industry, the

192
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.960
scene and how people were working, why LA was the

193
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.799
place to be at the time, back in the day,

194
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.639
and then ended up moving back to Calgary here where

195
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.679
I built my recording studio, which is we're sitting in

196
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.399
my control room right now and that's what I get

197
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.320
to do full time. But at the same time I

198
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.559
get to pursue music. So it's all kind of come

199
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.960
full circle in a way that Plan A Metplan B

200
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:25.200
and now is just my life.

201
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:30.159
There you go, and do you think the sound engineering

202
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.279
and recording has made you a better musician?

203
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.200
One hundred and ten percent because I get to work

204
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.840
with so many people from varying genres and for me,

205
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.320
you know, I get to kind of put on a

206
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.320
few different hats in terms of the producer, the engineer,

207
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:48.159
things like that. And for me with Prisoners specifically, like

208
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.600
I bring in friends that are other engineers to help

209
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.080
record and do a lot of the mixing, like I

210
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.519
do the rough mixes and things like that. But I

211
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.759
just get to step back and be the band guy

212
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.480
with the rest of the guys Prisoner rather than trying

213
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.399
to do everything myself. But it's great because I can

214
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.039
have those conversations with these engineers and things like that.

215
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.240
So yeah, I would I would think that puts you

216
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.279
a step above the rest because, like I said before,

217
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:19.759
knowing both parts of the craft. You know, so tell

218
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.960
us about Skies are Black and that's a cool video.

219
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.960
Thank you. Yeah. So that song was actually the first

220
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:30.240
song that was ever written for Prisoner. I was sixteen,

221
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:34.639
and wow, it was something that just kind of happened.

222
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:38.600
And the song to me was more just kind of

223
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.840
talking about technology because I grew up very old school

224
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.039
like everything that I like in terms of pop cultures

225
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.879
from the seventies and eighties, things like that, and of

226
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.799
course music and things like that just kind of consumed

227
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.960
who I was, But I was writing more so about

228
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:57.440
technology and how the idea of you know, the people

229
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:01.159
that are running our world and some people above that

230
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.879
and whatever you want to talk about or believe in

231
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.799
that regard, you know, how they kind of control ma

232
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.399
manipulate people and in a way that will benefit them.

233
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.399
And it's more just kind of like a comment on

234
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.600
our societal and like social construct because when I write lyrically,

235
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.440
I always try to just talk about something or create

236
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.879
a story rather than just be very blunt and straightforward

237
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.080
so that people can interpret it in their own way

238
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.600
and kind of connect in a way that makes sense

239
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:34.000
with their worldview. But the music video was just something

240
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.440
that we wanted to do because it was super raw,

241
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.399
it was pretty quick, just to kind of fit with

242
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.080
the theme of the song, like it's two minutes and

243
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.399
forty seconds, it's fast, aggressive, a large starring chorus with

244
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.559
the vocals and things like that. So we thought, you know,

245
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.039
to go out to Banff and we ended up going

246
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.840
on the rooftop of the main mall there, so we

247
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.320
got a cool background with the mountains and everything, and

248
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.600
as nice as it did look outside. It was cold

249
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.600
and raining everywhere around us, but where we were, so

250
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:08.840
the skies were about as dark as it could get.

251
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.919
And you know what, it did look cool, you know,

252
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.799
with the silhouette of the mountains and stuff. But no,

253
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.840
I wouldn't have known that you guys were freezing.

254
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:20.519
Oh yeah, it was. It was coold.

255
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.879
I always wonder about musicians when they have to play

256
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:30.039
when it's freezing, like, how hard is that? Because it's

257
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.440
hard enough doing normal things, like especially if you're you know,

258
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.679
playing guitar. It's hard enough to move your fingers when

259
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.720
it's like freezing out, much less to play guitar.

260
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:44.840
Absolutely, yeah, it was definitely one of those factors. I mean,

261
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.399
the one nice thing is that we weren't sweating our

262
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.200
brains out on with those leather jackets, which we usually are.

263
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.159
Yeah. Well, and I'm in South Florida, okay, and I

264
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:02.039
think about the fact of wearing the leather jacket in

265
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:07.240
the heat here would be like unbelievably terrible.

266
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.639
Oh yeah. You know. We've used to start our shows

267
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.320
where we were like, oh, we're gonna wear our jackets

268
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.159
the whole time, and then halfway through we're like Nope,

269
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.320
this is not happening.

270
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.559
I always when I go and I do coverage at

271
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.799
festivals and it's a really hot one and I'm doing

272
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.559
an interview with band and I see that they're wearing

273
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.080
stuff like leather jackets or overcoats and stuff like that.

274
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.039
I'm like, how do you even perform up there like that?

275
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:36.360
I mean even in short sand t shirt, it'd be

276
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:38.200
hard to perform much less like that.

277
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.559
Oh yeah, definitely speaking.

278
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.480
And performing anything that you want to talk about. As

279
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.559
far as tour dates, shows, you're playing stuff like that.

280
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.039
So as of right now, we're just doing a bunch

281
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.519
of Western Canadian stuff. Are The only show we have

282
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.240
announced right now is in Edmondston on September seventh, and

283
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.480
then we're announcing a local show in Calgary and then

284
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.759
the surrounding area because right now kind of coming up

285
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.399
into the fall time of the year and of course,

286
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:07.120
getting up north, we start to get snow around October November.

287
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.600
So we're actually just got out of the studio. We've

288
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.039
recorded two more songs that'll be out later this year,

289
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.519
and then we're heading back into the studio in the

290
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.679
winter to start working on our second record, which will

291
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.600
be out next year at some point to follow up

292
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.799
all of this and then hopefully we're going to use

293
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.120
that as the fuel to try to get on a

294
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.799
full tour in place many shows as we can next summer.
