PipemanRadio Interviews Root Zero, a progressive/gothic metal band from Cardiff, Wales.

Formed in late 2019 and the current lineup has been together since 2022. Root Zero are the winners of this year's South Wales Bloodstock Metal 2 the Masses and thrilled to be playing the New Blood Stage at Bloodstock Festival this year! We released our debut EP The Weight of What I Started last year and we're currently working on our next release. Our most recent single, Notti D'Inverno, was released in March.

Formed initially as a solo project in 2016 by multi-instrumentalist Giacomo Fiderio, the band evolved over the years into its current lineup, officially becoming a full band in 2020.

Man W four c Y Radio and I'm here with

9
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.759
our next guest. I'm very excited about. I'm kind of

10
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.519
pissed about too, because they're going to be playing at Bloodstock,

11
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.079
which is one of my favorite festivals to cover on

12
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.920
the Pipe Man Radio tour. I won't be there in

13
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.319
person because you know, my daughter had to ruin everything

14
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.959
by getting married and now I can't go to the festival.

15
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.120
But we still get to talk to this band who

16
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.400
has some badass music and it's a cool story how

17
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.359
to ending up at Bloodstock. So let's welcome to a

18
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:26.959
show Root zero. How are you?

19
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:29.319
Thanks? Yeah with for doing point.

20
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.640
Thank you so. One of the things I really do

21
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:39.040
love about Bloodstock is that they really promote local UK

22
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.959
music and the surrounding area and they do that with

23
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.239
doing these like Battle of Band type of things going on.

24
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.840
And that's how you got there. So tell us a

25
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.280
little bit about that journey.

26
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.000
Yeah, so I mean, I'm trying to think with the

27
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.400
start really so I guess. So we actually did this

28
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.840
competition in the past. We did it for the first

29
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.000
time back in twenty twenty two, which was the first

30
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.680
our first year of actually playing as a band.

31
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:12.800
It's our third ever gig as well.

32
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.439
Yeah, we ever played. So we we were shipped basically

33
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.919
as the Long Ashore. We weren't very good. Yeah, we

34
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:21.919
didn't get past the first heat, but you know, like

35
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.639
we we kind of took some lessons from that and

36
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.919
you know, we've kind of you know developed and I

37
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.039
guess like honed our our live show ever since then.

38
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.960
And you know, we came back this year didn't really

39
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.960
know what to expect, but you know, we just went in,

40
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.360
you know, continue just to do what we do. And yeah,

41
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.639
we progressed the reach of the heats, got to the

42
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:46.199
quarter final and then the semi final and eventually the final,

43
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.960
which was a bigger on a bigger stage than we

44
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.280
played all the other heats that It was at the

45
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.120
Patti Pavilion in Swansea, which was exciting in and of itself.

46
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:55.639
You know, like we were excited just to play a

47
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.000
bigger at a bigger venue. But it was a you know,

48
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.479
it was it was six competing, so you know, the

49
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.960
chances of us winning. We kind of assume we wouldn't

50
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.960
win because like all the other bands were so good,

51
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.280
you know, like there was a really fiers competition, but

52
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.120
the judges decided unanimously that we, you know, our performance

53
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.360
was the best, which was obviously a really surprise for

54
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.360
all of us. And yeah, that's that's how we ended

55
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:20.319
up playing at Bloodstock.

56
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.000
So my first question is, if you were to have

57
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.719
an opinion of why they picked you, what would you

58
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:28.599
think it was.

59
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.159
It's a good question because I don't like shooting myself

60
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:37.719
up to the moon too much. I guess probably, Well,

61
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.439
the thing that they said was mostly to do with

62
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.039
like stage presents. So I mean, it's just two of

63
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.159
us here, but we're pretty big bands. We're a six piece,

64
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.680
so you know, like playing in small venues can be

65
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.159
quite challenging, especially because I've got two keyboards, so it's

66
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.719
quite a big you know, our stage presence can be

67
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.680
quite cramped right stage, but we really tried to sort

68
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.599
of utilize that going into a bigger stage, and I

69
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.080
guess that's kind of one of the things that we

70
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.039
really focused on when you know, because like musically speaking,

71
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:12.560
we've been we've been playing the songs that we have

72
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.080
on our set for you know, a good sort of

73
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.000
two years now. But yeah, it was kind of like

74
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.759
the stage prisons that we really wanted to work on.

75
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:21.519
I guess, I don't know if you've got anything.

76
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.079
I'd say, like, we're excited to just be able to

77
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:26.920
have the space to move around a bit more.

78
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:32.560
I know, right, Yeah, it kind of inhibits you because

79
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.560
you want to do more, but it's not possible.

80
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:37.879
Yeah.

81
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:43.160
Yeah, Like, and like we we have a frequent we

82
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.040
have a fairly frequent online magazine called Mucipedia of Metal

83
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.279
shout outs, and they're great guys, but yeah, they they

84
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.279
they often do reviews of of you know, gigs that

85
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.959
we play out, whether it be the Metals to the

86
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.160
Masses competitions or just gigs we play in Cardiff. And yeah,

87
00:04:58.199 --> 00:04:59.839
one of the things that they do, they did say

88
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.279
a lot of our performances was oh, you know, these

89
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.319
guys don't really move around much. And I response to

90
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.399
that is always, well, you know, you try moving around

91
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.079
with all of our shit on stage, and you know,

92
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:12.800
in my case, you know, trying to get your hair

93
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.800
caught in your guitarist ted stock and then half of

94
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:16.040
it gets ripped off or whatever.

95
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.519
So I think we did move around a bit more

96
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.519
to begin with as well, but getting coughtant things.

97
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.000
Yeah, Well, as you're painting the visual to me, I

98
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.920
think about back in nineteen ninety nine, I saw a

99
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.600
Slipknot played a third stage of oz Fest, which that

100
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:42.399
stage is about the size of I can't even It's

101
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.199
smaller than any club stage. I can tell you that,

102
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.240
I don't even know how they fit nine people on

103
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.000
that stage. Okay, So I think back to that, I'm like,

104
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.720
it is kind of amazing where they've come, because there's

105
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.759
no way they could put on the show that they

106
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.399
put on now on that little stage. Like you, they

107
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.399
probably couldn't move at all.

108
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.600
Yeah, I will say they're getting a chance to see

109
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.600
Slipknot that that early on in their career.

110
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.399
I'm definitely envious with you with that.

111
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.480
Well you know who else played third stage that year?

112
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:15.319
Go on, mud Vein.

113
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.279
Oh, Oh that's just maybe even more envious. Mudvein, like

114
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:20.759
one of my favorite email buns.

115
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.040
See, now you're gonna get really jealous and then right

116
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:31.240
after covid first mud Vein show ever since, like way back,

117
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.480
and it was at a Danny Wimmer festival here in

118
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.439
the States and it was mud Vein and Slipknot headlining

119
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:40.279
that festival.

120
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.279
Nice. Yeah, it's like they need to come over to

121
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.519
the UK at some point.

122
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.319
No, right, And I was like, wow, this is really cool.

123
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.680
The last time I saw these two bands together they

124
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.959
were on a third stage of an oz fest and

125
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.000
now they're headlining like one of the biggest United States

126
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.720
festivals there is. So that's what you have to look

127
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.839
forward to then, because now you'll play at Bloodstock this year,

128
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.199
but then then you'll go to headlining.

129
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.639
Well one step at a time, but yeah, we'll see.

130
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.680
Obviously I'll be nice to headline at some point.

131
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:18.439
But yeah, I love your persistence too, because it's like, yeah,

132
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.800
it was rough for you to have to try out

133
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.399
when you first started as a band, third gig ever,

134
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.639
but the fact that you decided, because like, even with that,

135
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.160
as an artist, it's kind of a letdown when you

136
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.399
don't even though you think you're not going to win,

137
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.319
it's still let down not to win. So I think

138
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.519
it takes a lot more courage to go back and

139
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:40.360
try again.

140
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:46.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I guess like, oh there

141
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.240
was It's weird because I'm not a fan of I'm

142
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:49.800
not into like wrestling at all, but there was a

143
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.319
wrestling quite I heard from I think it was from

144
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.639
Paul Hayman where he says, like, you know, like when

145
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.480
you get knocked down, you'd kind of learn about your mistakes.

146
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.920
It probably gets beaten, but then you come back and

147
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.839
you're just a little bit more dangerous. And that's kind

148
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.480
of how I thought of it, you know, like, you know,

149
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:06.759
at the end of the day, I mean, I'm not

150
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.959
going to sit here and say that I didn't you know,

151
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.920
we as a band didn't sort of have like a

152
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.360
collective you know, they call it imposter syndrome. After you

153
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.560
you know, like after that, you sort of go through

154
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.800
the motions of you know, thinking like, you know, am

155
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.240
I just doing you know, like am I actually good

156
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:24.160
enough to be doing this?

157
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:25.439
You know, all that kind of stuff.

158
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.480
But you know, like we just at the end of

159
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.519
the day, like music is a passion for all of us,

160
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.360
you know, like I've been doing it personally since I

161
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:32.879
was about three years old and my mum put me

162
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.720
in front of a piano for the first time as

163
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.360
soon as enough to walk, you know, So you know,

164
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.639
like it's it's not something that it's not like you know,

165
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.080
like if you if you kind of do a job

166
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.960
application and then like you don't get it. You know,

167
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.320
for a lot of people, that would be pretty a

168
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.480
pretty big let down. But you know, when it's something

169
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.320
that's like you know that like music, which we all

170
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.120
have like a drive and passion for, it's not like

171
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.840
something that you know, we're not just going to give

172
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.720
up after losing one competition, you know, not been doing this.

173
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:02.840
You know, I've been doing this as a solo project

174
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.320
since twenty sixteen. So you know, like it's it's not

175
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.279
like it's it's not like it's a new thing.

176
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.559
You know. Yeah, we would just do it. And you

177
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.120
know what they say, They say it takes twenty years

178
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.080
to become an overnight success, you know. And people think

179
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.879
of bands like Metallic as an example. I was at

180
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:27.000
their first gig ever, okay really and to me to imagine,

181
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.879
like this year they headlined Hellfest they've had I was

182
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.720
there when they headlined Download a couple of years ago.

183
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:38.240
To me, back then, the idea of them ever headlining

184
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:43.320
festivals like that just didn't even enter my mind. Yeah,

185
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.440
it's funny. Right before the interview, I was talking with

186
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.759
somebody I was thumbing through my album collection and there

187
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.480
were and it brings back memories because there was a

188
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.799
bunch of albums of bands that I loved back in

189
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.279
the eighties that never made it out of the eighties,

190
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.000
Like nobody would even know who they are in the nineties,

191
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.440
much less today, you know, So it is kind of amazing.

192
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.879
You never just you never really know where things are

193
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.879
going to go. But like with them, everybody thinks they

194
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:15.679
were an overnight success, but for ten years they starved,

195
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.879
shared a floor and eight blowney sandwiches with no bread.

196
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:25.000
But nobody really knows that part of the journey of

197
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.919
being a musician, you know. They just think you wake

198
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.279
up and pick up this guitar or whatever and you're

199
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.679
a rock star, like and it's like, that's so far

200
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:37.519
from what it is.

201
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.759
It's funny. You've got a fairly similar story with Ghosts,

202
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:41.120
haven't you.

203
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.360
Oh yeah, I saw one of their own earlier gigs

204
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:48.240
back in twenty thirteen. They were supporting Alison Chains and

205
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.879
like they were fairly poppedlar at the time, but it's

206
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:57.200
quite surprised to see like how massive they've become since then.

207
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.519
I know they have like a cult following. Yeah, where

208
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.600
was it, I think it was. I don't think it

209
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.519
was Bloodstock. I think it was download where they had

210
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:11.399
these like photo boosts and you put like a It

211
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.200
was just like last year, I think. And man, everybody,

212
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.840
there were more people lining up at this photo booth

213
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.000
than at a stage to put these ghost masks on

214
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:28.159
and take pictures. Oh well, so yeah, it's you just

215
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.759
never really know what's gonna happen. And I think a

216
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.519
true musician is just decade the craft and doesn't even

217
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.919
think about that part of it. I think the ones

218
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.360
that make it big like that, that's really what it is.

219
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.919
They never set out to make it big. They were

220
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.399
just really true to their craft and really passionate about

221
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.600
it and didn't care about being a rock star or

222
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.559
any of that stuff. They just wanted to make their music.

223
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.320
And I think that's what makes a true artist.

224
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.480
Yeah, yeah, I think that's the approach that we you know,

225
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:02.159
like at the end of the day, you know, the

226
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.200
most important thing to us is being able to play

227
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:08.360
on stages and also maintain some level of professionalism with

228
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.039
you know, with the crew and also given the audience,

229
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.000
whether it's one person or one hundred people or a

230
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.639
thousand people who are seeing us, you know, a good show.

231
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:16.919
You know, like at the end of the day, like

232
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:18.360
I said, this is you know, this is this is

233
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.000
always passion project for us. It's not you know, like

234
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.279
we we don't really you know, we don't sort of

235
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:25.639
you know, we don't wake up every day and sort

236
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.360
of think like, oh, we're not you know, we're not

237
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.000
playing headline stadiums. This is a waste of time, you know.

238
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.600
And some bands never even make that.

239
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:31.799
You know.

240
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.519
There's bands that I listen to that I have been

241
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.080
going for, you know, twenty thirty forty years, and they're

242
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.399
you know, they've remained, you know, remained in the underground,

243
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:45.320
you know, like maintaining from cult color cult followings in

244
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.000
some cases. But you know, like I've seen, you know,

245
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.480
like these bands, they still put on kick ass shows

246
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:51.240
and and.

247
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.039
Yeah, because that at the end of the day, that's

248
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.120
what this is all about.

249
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:54.320
Isn't it.

250
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.759
Oh yeah, And and same for me too, Like there's

251
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.320
I remember back in the eighties, my dream was to

252
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.919
come to the UK because I was not only a

253
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.279
metal head, I was a punk too, and that was

254
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:10.639
where the cool punk scene was. And now bands that

255
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:15.039
I loved back then, i've seen them at festivals nowadays,

256
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.120
but they're, like you said, they're still basically a small

257
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:26.519
punk band, like bands like The Exploited and GBH and Discharge.

258
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.080
You know, like they're iconic, but they were never big.

259
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.360
And there is a big difference there because they are iconic,

260
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:40.960
but you know, they were never headlining a stadium. But

261
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.919
they still keep going. Wa he keeps having heart attacks

262
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:45.080
and still keeps going.

263
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.120
I think it could be so cathartic, like performing live,

264
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.519
but also like the songwriting aspects, like I guess some

265
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.639
bands just don't run out of things to say and

266
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.080
don't run out of new ideas.

267
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.559
With Well, that's what's wild too, because I always think about,

268
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.559
you know, how do you after thirty four years still

269
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.960
come up with things to say, especially when you start

270
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.279
off as a teenager with a lot of angst. And

271
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.240
yet with the world the way it is now, I

272
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.399
think there's more things for metal and punk bands to

273
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.240
say than even in the eighties. Like it blows my mind,

274
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:29.080
you think we would have progressed beyond that bullshit that

275
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.840
we've lived most of my life and here we are

276
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.879
still talking about You could substitute names and songs and

277
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:38.960
it still would be a relevant song.

278
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.919
Yeah, well, I mean yeah, Like a classic example of

279
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.080
that we would be Warpicks by Black Sabbath. You know,

280
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:46.799
that song was written in the nineteen seventies and here

281
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.200
we are, you know, fifty years later, and the lyrics

282
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.840
to that is still just as rovant now as.

283
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:55.480
They were back right exactly, you know. And so I

284
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.399
think that's where music's really important too, because you know,

285
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.279
one thing that's been happening lately is I don't know

286
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.600
about the UK, but here in the States, and I

287
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:06.639
think you guys are going through the same stuff as

288
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:10.799
us is, you know, get all these people because they're

289
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.480
so political nowadays that they get mad at artists for

290
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.240
expressing their opinion. You stay with music, you don't. That's

291
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.120
the biggest stupidest thing I've ever heard. Like, first of all,

292
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.840
if you're an artist, especially somebody that has a following,

293
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.360
why wouldn't you use that pulpit? I think you should.

294
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.759
Why does one group of people have more to say

295
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.840
than another group of people just because you have a

296
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.919
different job. I think that's the stupidest thing I ever heard.

297
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:44.240
And yeah, music's all about expressing all that stuff. Like

298
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.679
whoever's saying that doesn't even know what music is, because

299
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.240
that's sorry.

300
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.759
So I find it fundy how people who they who

301
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.200
express opinions like that, they'll always say, like, you know,

302
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.320
keep politics out of music. When it comes to that,

303
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.240
I don't know, we'll talk about things like, you know,

304
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:05.759
like obviously, I know in the US a big thing

305
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.679
is healthcare, you know, like you know, healthcare rights for people,

306
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.320
or you know, like supporting you know, things like abortion,

307
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.159
all things like LGBT rights, you know, And it's never like,

308
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.240
you know, when you get people like Kid Rock, for example,

309
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.759
who drops album, you know, drops an album where it's

310
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.519
all about like oh the libs and you know, fake

311
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.080
news and all this other bullshit, and then those same

312
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.320
people are completely silent, you know, they won't say a

313
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.440
word about people like that. It's just you know, it's just, oh,

314
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:36.559
you're not allowed to speak about things when you want

315
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.399
the world to be a better place for you know,

316
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.720
more people. It's always funny about you know, when you

317
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.759
notice things like.

318
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.919
That, Well, you know what I find funny and interesting.

319
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.440
All right, ready for this. First of all, the hippies

320
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:53.200
of the sixties are now the boomers, So how did

321
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:59.000
that happen? And then and then okay, so a lot

322
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.519
of punk bands, I know, our pro government, which kind

323
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.519
of freaks me out, like that is the antithesis of

324
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.039
being a punk band, Like when did punk music become

325
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:17.400
pro government? Yeah, yeah, it's And see, it's just weird

326
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:22.240
to me because the whole purpose of some genres is

327
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.640
is for a certain type of way of making the

328
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.880
world better, I say, working and making the world better,

329
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:34.640
because they're just speaking out against against things that are

330
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.839
done to human beings around the world. And why would

331
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.839
you not want people speaking out to make things better

332
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:43.960
for human beings?

333
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.319
I think at the end of the day as well,

334
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.440
like music has always been, you know, it's always been

335
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.319
an expression for you know, for things like that. You

336
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.519
know I just said, you know, like the you know,

337
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:58.200
like ever since like one of the very first metal

338
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.759
albums with With Power a Black Sabbath, you know, like

339
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:04.680
war Pigs is so clearly an anti war song. So

340
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.440
to say that it's like a new development is just

341
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:09.359
completely it's such a bullshit.

342
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.440
But you know, like, yeah, you're an artist, you're expressing yourself.

343
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:18.880
And like how many artists in history have wrote songs

344
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.000
because it had some meaning to them or something that

345
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.720
is going on in the world, or something going on

346
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:28.720
with their mental health, or something going on with any

347
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.839
of these subjects that these people you're talking about before

348
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.559
say you shouldn't talk about. Like that is why you're

349
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:41.319
writing these songs. You know, it's the best therapy there is,

350
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.240
I think for both you the artists and me the listener,

351
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:47.440
because you know, you the artists get things out of

352
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.880
your system and me the listener, I can relate to

353
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.359
that and I get it out of my system.

354
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:55.079
Yeah.

355
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.680
Yeah, and that's the you know, that's that's ultimately what

356
00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.640
you know, that's the thing I hope that our music,

357
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.920
and I'm sure other bands would say their music does

358
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.200
as well, you know, like you know, we you know,

359
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:08.160
the songs that we write, they come out of difficult times,

360
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:09.680
whether it be difficult times in our.

361
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.839
Personal life or in our personal lives.

362
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.000
Or maybe like you know, the sort of tumultuous times

363
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.160
that we are we seem to be living in at

364
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.400
the moment. You know, like that's you know, it's it's

365
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:22.359
something that it's like you say, it's a form of

366
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.640
catharsis for us, and hopefully, you know, it can be

367
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.279
an equal form of catharsis for whoever comes across and

368
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:27.960
listens to our.

369
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:31.720
Music, no doubt. And you know that's why I love

370
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.119
your playing that Bloodstock because I was just talking about

371
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.559
Bloodstock to somebody earlier. One of the coolest things about

372
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:43.079
that festival is it does create that community, family atmosphere.

373
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.559
Because we were talking about a lot of European festivals

374
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.680
that used to be like that that aren't like that anymore.

375
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:53.640
They've become more American, I'll put it that way, you know,

376
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:58.160
and you know, Bloodstock is still that community family and

377
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:04.079
even the thing of with Lancaster. You know, I didn't

378
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.680
even know about that until I started covering Bloodstock, you know,

379
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:11.599
And I think it's so cool what they do because

380
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.279
there has to be awareness like that, and you know,

381
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.640
it just creates us to be more of a community

382
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:19.720
and more of a family. So I think Bloodstock is

383
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.640
way more than just a festival. I think it's like

384
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.480
the best way I could describe it is like going home.

385
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:28.519
Yeah.

386
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:32.279
Yeah, and again, you know, like we always we always

387
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:35.599
strive to, you know, ensure that the you know, the

388
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.960
our gigs whether you know, obviously Bloodstock is a different

389
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:40.359
story because it's a festival. But yeah, like, you know,

390
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.920
it's really important to us that everyone you know, our

391
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.039
you know, who comes to our gigs feels like they're

392
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.200
part of, you know, an extended family and you know,

393
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.559
like they feel welcome and accepted because you know, like,

394
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:52.960
at the end of the day, the reason that we

395
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.160
play this music is because it's a form of art

396
00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:00.240
that's not necessarily accepted by the outside world. And you know,

397
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.480
like it's a place for you know, for lack of

398
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:04.200
a bit, So it's a place for misfits to come

399
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.680
together and enjoy being misfits together. And you know, that's

400
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:09.720
that's what's important to us as well for sure.

401
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:14.079
Sometimes I call it the Land of misfit Toys. Yeah, yeah,

402
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.599
what's cool about Okay, So everybody I ever explained to

403
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.400
you that's never been to a metal festival or a

404
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.799
metal concert for that matter, is they have this viewpoint

405
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:28.000
of what metal heads are. And I'm like, you need

406
00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:31.039
to go into this environment before you start talking. You'll

407
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:34.960
find out what it's really about. Funny story, so I

408
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:36.799
had to because I go onto he and I'd cover

409
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:39.640
lots of festivals, and one weekend I had two festivals

410
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:43.480
same weekend, so obviously I can't be at both. So

411
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:46.359
and they were in my same state here in Florida,

412
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:48.960
so I had somebody at work for me. I'm like,

413
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.440
you're going to cover this other festival. She had never

414
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:55.079
been to a rock show ever, much less a metal

415
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.240
show or a metal festival. She was a country girl,

416
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:04.759
and so I said to her, I'm like, listen, you're

417
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:08.000
gonna have the best time ever. What you're gonna find

418
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:11.039
out is everything you thought about metal is wrong. And

419
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:13.319
I'm like, you go to these country shows and all

420
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:19.880
that ever happens is these i'll say it, rednecks. They

421
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:25.240
get drunk and get into fights, and yet they're the

422
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.440
one saying about the metal shows with the pits and

423
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:30.599
stuff like that. I'm like, what you're gonna find out

424
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.279
is the pit ain't about that, It's not about fighting.

425
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:35.000
In fact, what you'll find out you'll go to show

426
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.920
there probably won't be any fights at all. You'll find

427
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.759
out that you'll make a whole new family of people

428
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:46.039
and how there's togetherness and there are no outsiders at

429
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:50.359
all because we're all the outsiders in one place. And

430
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:54.960
she came back after that weekend and she's like, oh

431
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.039
my god, you were right. That was the best time ever.

432
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:02.599
And uh, you know, I made a bunch of new friends,

433
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:05.039
and I have a new boyfriend now, and I have

434
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.480
a new favorite band. I don't know if you know them.

435
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:15.799
They're called Bring Me the Horizon. And see, I think

436
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:20.720
if we would just expose everybody to that experience, it

437
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:23.119
would be good in one way, bad and another. Like

438
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:25.359
I taught in band friends of mine, we talk about

439
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:28.519
this and it's like, yeah, let's let them keep thinking

440
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:32.400
that we're some scary people, because then we could keep

441
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:35.319
it the way we have instead of them all invading it.

442
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.680
And so yeah, I mean and Bloodstock is just that.

443
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:43.799
And so now you're going to be on the new

444
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:47.480
Blood stage, So you're gonna have a lot of room

445
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:48.759
now to move around.

446
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.440
Yeah, apparently even more room than we had it our

447
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.799
last you know, the final, which was a big stage already.

448
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.000
So yeah, like you know, I'm not really sure how

449
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:59.480
big we're talking, but you know, like all, you know,

450
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:01.559
more space is always good for us, because, like I said,

451
00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:04.279
we're six peks back with a lot of equipment on stage.

452
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.759
So you guys brainstorming about like doing like a show

453
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:11.799
like you've never done before, and you'll be having that

454
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.599
room and be at Bloodstock and you know, give us

455
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:16.960
the show your life, right.

456
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:19.680
Yeah, well we'll we'll we'll hopefully come up with some

457
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:22.519
you know, some sort of new stage antics and you

458
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:25.000
know just kind of you know, try and get as

459
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:26.680
many people as we can do to come down to

460
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:29.960
watch us as well. You know, like you know, it's

461
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:32.480
you know, that's one of the one of the things

462
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.480
about going to Bloodstock as a young band, as a

463
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.920
new band. Rather it's not just kind of like playing

464
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.039
on a big stage, is also like you know, letting

465
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.920
everyone know who you are, what kind of music you play,

466
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.559
you know, what your music could be, you know, what

467
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.119
kind of bands you sound like, and all that kind

468
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.119
of stuff, because at the end of the day, you know,

469
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:52.359
a lot of people they go to these festivals for

470
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:54.079
the big bands, which is fine, you know, there's nothing

471
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:56.119
wrong with that, but you know, like it's it's kind

472
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:58.720
of an added, an added little bonus of you know,

473
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:00.920
kind of just getting your name out there and it's

474
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.319
to a bigger audience that you know, and at a

475
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:06.200
more sort of like widespread audience as well, because it's

476
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.839
not just within our local scene, you know, it's it's

477
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.319
it's in a big festival. We've got people coming, not

478
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:13.640
even necessarily from over the from from over the country,

479
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:16.160
but even just from different countries. Like like like you

480
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:19.119
said yourself, you you come over here from from America,

481
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:20.880
you know. So it's it's like, you know, just get

482
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:23.240
you know, just kind of getting our music out there

483
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.680
to you know, to a wider audiences is also really

484
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:26.559
important as well.

485
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:29.160
And that's wake up to come and.

486
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:31.759
See us early, yeah, trying to get people, trying to

487
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:33.799
get people to wait, you know, who have been breaking

488
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:36.480
before to wake up with a hangover and come and

489
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:37.240
see us as well.

490
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:40.079
So I think you'll be shocked. I think you'll have

491
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.599
a much bigger crowd than you're gonna expect because that's

492
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:47.319
what I see happen at Bloodstock. And I think a

493
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:49.720
lot of new bands. I think they're really good about

494
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:53.640
the new band and giving them exposure, and that is what,

495
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:57.440
you know, that is the thing for me. Festivals are

496
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.240
where I find my new favorite band that I like,

497
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.319
especially when I go over to UK and Europe, because

498
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.119
there's some bands I may not even know from being

499
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.279
in America and I go over there and it happens

500
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:13.000
every year, like there's a whole bunch of bands. I'm like,

501
00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:15.839
I didn't even know they existed, and they've been around

502
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:20.680
for a while, you know, and wow they're good, you

503
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:25.519
know type of things. So I think everybody listening now

504
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:29.920
should definitely check out your music because your music is badass.

505
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:34.279
And if there can get the bloodstock, they need to

506
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.279
get the bloodstock just to see your set. So how

507
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:41.079
do we tell people to reach out to you? Check

508
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.839
out your new music, check out your merge, everything that

509
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:47.440
has to do with you, guys.

510
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.200
Yeah, So I guess the best way to find us

511
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:54.480
is obviously on social media. So you can find us

512
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:59.960
at zero official on Facebook and Instagram. We're not on Twitter.

513
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:02.640
I don't give a ship what it's called.

514
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.200
Now, but I know stupid, I can't call it that

515
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:06.880
other thing.

516
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.039
Yeah, but yeah, and then you can also find us

527
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:44.519

That'll be awesome.

531
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:53.359
But but yeah, that's that's where you can find us.

532
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:58.359
If you like sort of moody, progressive gothic metal, that's.

533
00:27:58.200 --> 00:27:59.039
What we sound like.

534
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:01.039
You know, like, if you like, if you're into anything

535
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:05.240
like the Gathering, Anafthema, any sort of like with intentation,

536
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.359
Lacuna Coil, any of that kind of stuff. That's that's

537
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:07.960
what we play.

538
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.319
The last one right there, that's the vibe I got

539
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:13.079
when I was listening to one of your songs was

540
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:18.319
Lacuna Coil and and I love Lacuona Coil and I

541
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:26.480
think the voice matched Christina. Oh thanks, no, there you go.

542
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:29.000
So one of my one of my personal favorites. I'm

543
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:31.839
half Italian, so so.

544
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:34.079
And they are so cool too, Like they're not just

545
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:38.480
great artists, they're just so down to earth cool.

546
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:41.440
Yeah, Like I've watched a couple of it. Their interviews

547
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:43.400
in the past, and they seem like super super chill.

548
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:47.039
We're actually seeing them later this year in October, isn't it.

549
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:49.119
Yeah. Yeah, so we're going to see them in October.

550
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:50.720
So we're married. What's that like.

551
00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:52.480
I've been a fan of them since I was a teenager,

552
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:54.640
and you know, I'm twenty eight or so. You know,

553
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:57.920
it's it's it's been a long time coming to see them,

554
00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:59.240
so I'm pretty excited for it.

555
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.319
Yeah. So I think people love you guys because that

556
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.680
it did. I got the Lacuna Coil vibe from your music,

557
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:10.319
so and I and I might not have said that,

558
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:13.039
but since you mentioned it, because I don't like the

559
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:16.400
compare bands, but since you mentioned it, Yeah, definitely the

560
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:18.720
vibe I was getting so nice.

561
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:20.880
Yeah, Well, if you want to come and see Welshlacuna Coil,

562
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:21.799

There you go. Any other things you want to let

567
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.920
Yeah, like, yeah, we've we've got an EP out called

568
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:43.400
The Weight of What I Started. I don't know real

569
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:45.079
too much about it at the moment because it's still

570
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:47.079
kind of in the works, but we are working on

571
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:48.240
an album.

572
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.359
We dropped a.

573
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:53.880
Song recently which will be on the album. But yeah,

574
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:56.119
I don't really want to go into music video. Yeah,

575
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:58.200
it's got an animated music video that was done by

576

Did it in that sort of like ps one stock graphics.

578
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:06.079
It's awesome.

00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.079
Yeah, that's that's pretty much all we have really, I

580
