00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.239
one Internet radio station.

Here's your host, the White Man's Wish sometimes welling up

7
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:51.719
all asleep on Assam, my hands and niece the dog,

mysel to keep.

9
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.640
Because love is a funeral, It's it's the pipe Man

10
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.399
here on the adventureds pipe Man W four CY Radio.

11
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:06.560
And I'm here with Royal Lynn Nice here at rock Lahoma.

12
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:08.719
You look really happy to.

13
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.599
Be here, as you should be so happy and so

14
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.879
grateful to be on the lineup today. I know.

15
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.400
How cool? And now how did this happen? How did

16
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:17.920
you end up at Rocklahoma?

17
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.120
So I kind of do a little bit of genre bending,

18
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.359
and you know, we started in kind of the country world,

19
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.680
and I feel like there's a lot of metal heads

20
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.799
that grew up in the country that are just like me.

21
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.000
So when I started writing more music, I was like,

22
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.319
I really want to cater to the metal side of

23
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.079
things and hard rock. And yeah, here we are at Rocklahoma,

24
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:39.840
which is crazy.

25
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.120
So when did your love for punk and rock start?

26
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.879
Oh my god? It started from the beginning. I grew

27
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.200
up on a farm in the middle of nowhere, and

28
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.159
I had my CD Walkman, and basically just begged my

29
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.239
parents to buy me CDs from the radio shack, and

30
00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.680
that's where the love started.

31
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.159
Nice And so now the country par of it that

32
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.200
was probably just born into you where.

33
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.719
You were living, right, yes, yeah, you know, yes, Like

34
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:10.680
the bus ride to school was forty five minutes, right,

35
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.080
so I had a lot of time to explore music,

36
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.800
and obviously you only get one CD to listen to

37
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.919
on a CD Walkman, So I always had, you know,

38
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.360
a plethora of bands and some that are even playing today,

39
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.120
which is crazy nice. So it's been really cool.

40
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.919
What's cool is too, is when I was a teenager,

41
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.039
you couldn't even be a metal head go to a

42
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.800
punk show, much less really be into country. Like, yes,

43
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.719
it was weird, Like if you had long hair and

44
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.360
you went to a punk show, you got your butt beat, period,

45
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.000
like you couldn't go and vice versa. Right, Well, I

46
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.240
love that you're bending two genres. That would be even

47
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.759
more so that because you know, you take like I

48
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.639
live in Florida, take a lot of country people there.

49
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.280
They're the ones that would get drunk and want to

50
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.280
beat up the punks, you know, and then it would

51
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.599
beat the punks that would be calling them names and

52
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.280
wanting to beat them up to And so I love

53
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.360
that you're playing them too together. Oh thank you.

54
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.599
Yeah, we accept all kinds of kinds here at our shows.

55
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.960
So you'll have to like go on a tour with

56
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.719
like social d that would be cool.

57
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.479
We're it was seither in Skillet in the fall.

58
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:21.960
Very excited.

59
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.039
Yeah, and Tim Montana.

60
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.000
Now that's a good tour.

61
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.000
Yeah, it's gonna be great. I'm so excited.

62
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:28.400
Had that come about?

63
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.199
Well, we got the call and I was like, hell yeah,

64
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.159
I would love to be a part of that. And

65
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.360
now we're on every single date.

66
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.039
Which is I have any idea how they even noticed

67
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:39.080
you to reach out to you.

68
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.639
Probably just through our teams and maybe social media too.

69
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.680
Social media has been such a big player in my story,

70
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.439
at least in my journey, So maybe there and.

71
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.560
Let's talk about that because there's so many people I

72
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.080
know of now that are killing it in music from TikTok. Yeah,

73
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:04.039
and there's still the old school gatekeepers are like that's bullshit,

74
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:05.560
but it's really not bullshit.

75
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:06.240
It's really nice.

76
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.080
I think it's amazing, Like, you know, you take a

77
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.840
guy like Jars Johnson that it's now recorded with the

78
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.800
top rock people out there from TikTok.

79
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.560
Yes, absolutely. It all just goes to show like we

80
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.680
all want our music to be heard, and I feel

81
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.519
like it's a free platform that we're able to get

82
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.560
our music out to fans all over the world. And

83
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:28.839
I think it's a really special thing.

84
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.240
Honestly, I think it's cool too. It's okay for all

85
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.199
the haters that are hating on people for using TikTok.

86
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.000
Listen bands didn't have that, arson have that way back when,

87
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.560
and it was so much harder, Like for sure, you

88
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.680
would never get six million views from your tape trading

89
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:46.639
type of thing.

90
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.319
So it's such a tool. It's such a tool, and

91
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.560
I love it because I get to interact with our

92
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.800
fans and people who otherwise wouldn't listen to us are

93
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.959
finding us. And I just think it's a really special

94
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.600
thing and I'm grateful to be a part of the

95
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.079
commune unity that is, you know, supporting it.

96
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.560
I think it's important too because it's so much harder

97
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.480
for artists nowadays because record labels are not throwing money

98
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.639
out for artists, They're not pushing you out there. You

99
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.120
got to push yourself absolutely, and if you didn't have

100
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.000
something like TikTok m M, it may not happen.

101
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.240
But it's not just TikTok. It's Instagram, it's Facebook, it's YouTube,

102
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.360
it's snapchat even I guess now, which is crazy. So

103
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.160
there's a lot of avenues that could be you know,

104
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.240
change your life overnight, which is crazy.

105
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.759
And what could you tell other young artists that about

106
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:36.199
the different platforms and what makes one better than the

107
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.360
other for certain things, because no one is better than

108
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.759
the other, yea, but they are for certain things.

109
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.759
I would say, if you're a young artist and you

110
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.720
want to get your music out there, post the video,

111
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.639
make the content, do what you have to do because

112
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:52.399
you have to be your number one champion. Yeah, and

113
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:53.759
you got to be out there and if you want

114
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.319
your music out there, you got to go get it

115
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:56.680
to them.

116
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.959
So when you did start rising from me or social media,

117
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.199
what were you thinking, Well, so we've.

118
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.360
Had we had a couple viral videos before we had

119
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.639
like a megaviral moment, and honestly, it's kind of a high.

120
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.439
And every time that you get that high, you want

121
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.240
it again and again, But it ultimately just comes down

122
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.199
to making the content and posting it at the end

123
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.920
of the day, because there's no magic button that will

124
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.360
make a song go viral, Like you kind of just

125
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.160
have to get out there and be posting about it.

126
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:32.319
So would you say that, stop overanalyzing me, critical yourself

127
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.360
and just put it out there because you may not

128
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.920
think it's great because we're always our own worst critic.

129
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:38.079
Absolutely, but other.

130
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.720
People like how many videos does somebody put on there?

131
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.000
Like how the hell they get that? May views like that's.

132
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.079
Ridiculous, And I don't think anybody knows when a video

133
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.879
is actually going to go, But I think it's important

134
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.800
just to If you never post it, there's never a

135
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.600
chance that it could go, so it's better to get

136
00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:58.079
it out there.

137
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.560
That's true. And how are people being receptive to the

138
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.360
idea of punk tree? Well?

139
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:06.920
I like that.

140
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:11.079
I like that better than cowpunk. Okay, good one too,

141
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:12.240
better sound.

142
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.920
I like the pump tree honestly. Like I said, we

143
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.079
accept all kinds of kinds. I like to talk about

144
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.439
mental health in my songs, and I really want to

145
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.680
reach an audience who maybe needs a song like that

146
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.199
like I did growing up and my favorite bands and

147
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.480
like back to the c D walkman, like, a lot

148
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.920
of bands saved my life. So if I can write

149
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.879
songs about mental health and get them out there for

150
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.920
people who are metal heads, people who are from the country,

151
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.319
then I've kind of done my job.

152
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.000
I feel like, do you have like a favorite lyricist

153
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:45.319
that appeal to your mental health. Yes.

154
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.079
So there's been a few bands that have totally you know,

155
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.000
A Data Remember is one of them. I feel like

156
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:51.720
they have a lot of songs that it's just like

157
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.319
you can't wait to get out of your small town

158
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.720
and then once you get out, you can't wait to

159
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.120
go back, right. It's I love them and I also

160
00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.120
really love Fly Leave.

161
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.519
Yeah, I'll have to tell you about her in a second.

162
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.759
I grew up listening to all their songs.

163
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:05.920
You know.

164
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.879
We played a song today that was one of theirs,

165
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.279
like we just I love them so much, And I

166
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.399
think the mental health standpoint, it's just important to sing

167
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.199
some songs that are about mental health that people don't

168
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:16.680
really realize are about mental health.

169
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.240
Good point because one of the times I interviewed Lacey,

170
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.759
I asked her a question that she said afterwards, nobody's

171
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.600
ever asked me that question. I'm like, that's so weird.

172
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.840
So I basically asked her about was her teen suicidal years,

173
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:38.399
which is really what made her who she is to Yeah. Yeah,

174
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.639
and her and Sonny from Pod and some other people

175
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.879
they go on tour and do this like suicide, mental health.

176
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.039
Yes, thing it's important to talk about, and.

177
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.200
Nobody asks about it, and I'm like, it's weird. Yeah,

178
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.679
And so what happened was funny because a lot of

179
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.799
times in interviews, especially the bigger artists, you have ten

180
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.360
to fifteen minutes, and if you the tour managers start

181
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.600
coming over and doing this, yeah, you know, and for

182
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.200
those of you listen, I'm pointing to my wrisk, we're

183
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.399
a watch with this. So this happened during this interview

184
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.720
because I started asking her about this and she just

185
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:17.559
started talking and I just shut up, and her tour

186
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:21.279
manager came over and did the pointing to his wrist. Yeah,

187
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:22.600
and she shoot him away.

188
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:23.159
Wow.

189
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:25.200
And we talked for like a half an.

190
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.639
Hour because she wants to talk about it, that's important.

191
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.440
And we got off and she's like, thank you so much.

192
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.000
Nobody ever asked me about that, and it's so important

193
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:36.960
in one of my biggest passions, you know what.

194
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.519
I love that story so much. I don't think it's

195
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.840
talked about enough in small towns, especially mental health in general.

196
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:44.399
So I'm here to do that.

197
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:49.039
And that's good because in my generation, the gen xers

198
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:53.679
were like, you're on your own, yeah, and stop crying

199
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.240
about it. Yeah. Oh well we stopped crying.

200
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.360
We're in a very different time, but you didn't.

201
00:09:58.200 --> 00:09:58.879
Talk about it.

202
00:09:59.240 --> 00:09:59.440
Yeah.

203
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.559
And there for a lot of people at the later stages,

204
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.440
the trauma kicks in, yeah, because it was never dealt

205
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.720
with ye ever. So I'm thankful for artists like you

206
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:13.759
that are helping because I think mental health it's worse

207
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.799
than ever now every day that's going on. I think

208
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.279
now there's the negative. Social media promotes a lot of

209
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.759
bad things, you know, and it creates a lot of

210
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.519
mental anguish for people for sure, for sure, So.

211
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.480
They need a voice, yes, And I think music, especially

212
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.679
it's so healing already. So to have songs that are

213
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:38.200
all different ways of mental health too, and not just

214
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.000
in one certain way, I think. I think it's important

215
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.200
to write songs like that, at.

216
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.159
Least for me. I write what I know well, it's

217
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.080
cathartic for us the artists.

218
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.360
Yeah, it was me by writing it for and then

219
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:52.679
it heals others. It's amazing.

220
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.919
You should go from your viewpoint, like the listener doesn't

221
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.759
have to have the same exact story, but they still

222
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.799
will relate. Yes, you know one hundred and Like I

223
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.960
was asking about lyricists, like, my favorite is Ali from

224
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.840
Bringing Me to the Horizon because he's got this one line,

225
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.039
well one line by a bunch of lines, but this

226
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.679
one line that's my favorite lyric ever of all time?

227
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.200
Is it? Because it's so brilliant you I can't drown

228
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.320
my demons. They know how to swim. Wow. Yeah, Like

229
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.559
that's some people may not get it, but me, I'm like,

230
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.759
that is the deepest shit I ever heard, because that's me.

231
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.120
I think it's great that they are like writing this

232
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.679
music that's so real and authentic and it's speaking to people.

233
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.039
I think it's huge. Yeah, I think it's huge.

234
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.279
And every genre. Okay, let's take Okay, you got the

235
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.559
country genre that you're in. What do they lyric The

236
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:51.159
lyrics and not songs. They're about issues that people, real

237
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:57.240
people experience. Punk rock is about angry at the government,

238
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.159
angry at what's going on, mental health. All that's of

239
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.960
getting the message out and sometimes people don't get that message,

240
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.919
like when it comes to metal and punk, people that

241
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:12.120
don't get it. They think it's pro all this stuff,

242
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:16.320
and it's like, no, we feel like we have somebody

243
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.600
to actually understand yes and no.

244
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.200
At the end of the day, that's the most important

245
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.720
thing and why I do music.

246
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.240
At all, and music to me, it's always been the

247
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.320
best therapy. Like I probably wouldn't be on this earf

248
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:29.039
if it weren't.

249
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.159
For music, like most of us right absolutely.

250
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.519
And that's why I think the worst thing we could

251
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.799
have done in the lockdown is get real live music.

252
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.080
I think that's why people are so pissed.

253
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.879
And so now it's back and it's bigger than ever right.

254
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.440
Now, and that's the good news because one thing I said,

255
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.080
there are two things. One from a listener, it's like, well,

256
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:54.679
hopefully people start stop complaining now that live music's back,

257
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.399
because before that I was like, oh, my band didn't

258
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.840
play at the festival because we had a storm, or

259
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:06.639
oh this now you have a better appreciation. We took

260
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:07.600
it for granted.

261
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.000
Yes.

262
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:12.320
Third thing for artists like you, that's the perfect time

263
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.799
to create. I think some of the best music came

264
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.039
out of that lockdown in for sure, because you can

265
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.039
be an artist and creative and all the other noise

266
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.639
that happens in your everyday life as an artist didn't

267
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:25.360
exist anymore.

268
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:26.759
Yeah, we were at home.

269
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.759
Focus you can focus on.

270
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.919
Yes, and like the mental health struggles of that time.

271
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.440
I think that's probably where we got half of the

272
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.480
songs that we have right now, is just being at

273
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.679
home and wanting to talk about it. That having social media,

274
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:47.080
like it's all full circle, you know, totally, and without

275
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:49.879
you know that moment in time, like, who knows what

276
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.399
what would have happened in the world, you know, one.

277
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.799
Hundred percent, you never know. Sometimes things happen for a reason. Yep.

278
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:56.639
Absolutely.

279
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.919
So what's your do you believe it is your strongest

280
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:06.519
message to other people artists, whatever your age and younger.

281
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.759
I would say that I'm a metal head that grew

282
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:14.759
up in the country that wants to sing about mental

283
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.919
health nice and I guess my message is just that

284
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:22.120
it's okay to talk about mental health and I'm so

285
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.879
excited to share what we've created around mental health.

286
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.000
There you go, Can you share with the listeners that

287
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:35.879
may be in the same situation. How you feel bands

288
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.919
that helped you, how did they how you feel they

289
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.240
helped your mental health.

290
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:45.720
I think music is very healing. I think that a

291
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.159
song can change someone's day in three minutes, and it's

292
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.120
super important to have those songs that pick us up,

293
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:55.120
but also those songs that are there when we're at

294
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:58.799
our lowest. Yeah, And I think that music all around

295
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.039
is just healing. So I I really hope that some

296
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.679
of the messages in the songs like help heal people

297
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:06.240
out there as much as it heals me writing it

298
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:07.440
and singing it every night.

299
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.919
And so let's go to that you writing it and

300
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.519
singing it, How has that helped you? What examples can

301
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.559
you give to people of hope of how it makes you?

302
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:19.159
Music can change your life.

303
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.279
I think that singing these songs that mean so much

304
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:26.360
to me and are a part of my heart truly,

305
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.000
and I write what I know and I struggle with

306
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.240
my mental health too, and I just want everyone to

307
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.480
know that they're not alone out there.

308
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.480
I think that's the most important message because I think

309
00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.799
pretty much everybody on the face of yourth struggles.

310
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:42.559
Absolutely in some way, shape or form, and you know,

311
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:46.080
it's okay. Yeah, and it's okay to get help, and.

312
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:49.440
It's okay to have people around you, around you surrounded.

313
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.399
What happened in my generation is like, don't tell anybody

314
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.440
because people judging this, and then you're all alone in

315
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:58.240
the world and that makes the mental health worse, way worse.

316
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.639
Well, we're here to be you know that champion forward

317
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.519
of you're not alone. You were always welcome at a show,

318
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:06.759
and I encourage you to come see a show and

319
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.840
just hear the songs and heal from the message from

320
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:10.279
all of them.

321
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.200
And what do you think what you feel about being

322
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:15.200
here at Rocklaholm.

323
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:17.320
I am so excited to be here. We rolled up

324
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.200
today and I was like, this is incredible. I've actually

325
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.080
never even been to a festival of this size before

326
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.879
in my life, so to see all the people, I'm

327
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.039
just so excited to be here.

328
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:31.799
That's nice. And did you have some surprises? Like I'm

329
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.159
sure you had idea of what was going to be

330
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.639
like coming here and then coming here and performing here.

331
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:40.759
How did that change in your head seeing all.

332
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.080
The people show up for our set at one twenty

333
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:44.840
five in the afternoon.

334
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.159
After partying till like after five in the morning in

335
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.000
the campground.

336
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.600
Yes, it's just it makes my heart feel so full

337
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.159
to see everybody, even people singing out in the audience

338
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.080
and like songs that we've put out. Just it heals

339
00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:58.240
my soul to be here.

340
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.600
Really does that trip you out when people are singing

341
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:02.679
your song wild?

342
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.119
It will never it'll never get old. It's just so

343
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.000
special that you know there were so many people who

344
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.200
loved country and metal and you know we're there for us.

345
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:14.880
It's crazy.

346
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.400
And the first thing I thought of the beginning of

347
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:23.039
this conversation was somebody who's from the hometown of our

348
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.759
studio who I just like, was at her show a

349
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.640
couple of weeks ago and was interviewing her. But I

350
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.640
know her because she's local. And that's Cassidy Pope. Oh nice,

351
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.559
the same thing, and like now she's back to ding

352
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:37.680
punk now.

353
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.720
Met her really so nice, she is so sweet, she's

354
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:42.640
so sweet.

355
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.200
And she did both she was punk first and conjury

356
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:50.119
now back to PONK. And I think it's cool when

357
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:55.079
artists do that because listen all the haters that say, oh,

358
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.839
you should just stick to this, we all have different

359
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.119
tastes in music. Like I don't just like one genre,

360
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.359
that one may be my favorite. Yeah, but you like

361
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.200
them all and you should be able as an artist

362
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:10.839
to experiment with them all.

363
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.759
I feel like we should be able to create art,

364
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.039
not genres, but art.

365
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.160
I hate I love that because that's how we kind

366
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:17.839
of landed.

367
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.839
On six feet Deep, is that we created art that day.

368
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.440
We didn't create a genre. We weren't sitting in a genre.

369
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:26.240
We just wanted to create the best song that we

370
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:28.039
could write. And that's what it sounded like, and it

371
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:28.839
changed my life.

372
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.480
I love it because to me, genres just box you

373
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.240
in as an artist. Yeah, you should be an artist.

374
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.440
To me, it's just an expressive, creative flow of.

375
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:42.640
Thoughts and once you take that away, it's not fun anymore.

376
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.160
So and it's not creative.

377
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.440
Yes, every time we create, I'm just like, let's think

378
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:48.400
outside the box.

379
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.160
So I hope that's one of the things that people

380
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:55.000
could get from you as a role model is screw

381
00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:01.279
the labels, the genres. Just just creat us. Enjoy each

382
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:05.240
other and enjoy art and create art and that's all

383
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:05.759
that matters.

384
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:07.119
Yes, and be kind.

385
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.720
And that's hard nowadays, oh my god. Like that's another

386
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.079
reason we need people like you because it's harder than

387
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.079
ever for people to be kind. And I think if

388
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.680
we would just be kind, yep, we get rid of

389
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.599
all the bull crap that's going and we went have

390
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.480
a boy getting us steamed up at each other, we

391
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.400
would fully understand everybody. And that's a key, like I

392
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:36.799
think people don't understand. I was talking about this with

393
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.680
my brother recently. It's like he's one of those types that, Oh,

394
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.559
if they don't think the same way I do, they're uninformed.

395
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.559
And I'm like, maybe they just live in a different areas.

396
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.119
Maybe they had a different upbringing the dude, maybe they

397
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:58.240
had different friends. Maybe there's thousands of maybees. Okay, we're

398
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.920
not all exactly the same. We don't have the exact

399
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:05.839
same influences. So you could have opinion, I could have opinion.

400
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:09.119
We can both be right because it's opinion, but it's

401
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.279
based on our experience. And yes, once we realize that,

402
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.640
then we can learn about each other and learn from

403
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.720
each other and understand why somebody else believes in what

404
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.519
they believe in instead of judging them for it.

405
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:24.599
Yep. So absolutely well, I love that.

406
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:27.599
I love that so much, And that's why you'll be

407
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:31.279
a champion for that because of everything you believe in

408
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:32.559
and do well.

409
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.720
I'm so excited to be here, and I think it's

410
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:36.599
it's so cool to be able to sing these songs

411
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.440
on these stages today's and they've.

412
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.359
Been doing it since like four, right before you can

413
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:43.960
even talk, yes, which is before four.

414
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.400
I have always wanted to do this and to be

415
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.640
able to write music now and and sing in such

416
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.279
a way. It's been my lifelong dream to do this,

417
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.279
and I'm just so grateful that it's happening.

418
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:00.480
How about your parents, Oh my.

419
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:05.839
Goodness, they're they're so proud. They're still in Canada and Canada.

420
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:10.279
Oh really, Oh my gosh, where Calgary? Okay? So my

421
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:15.319
parents live in well BC and then Ontario. Yes, so

422
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:17.359
I love that. I love that so much.

423
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.000
Sorry, that's okay, that's why I brought it in.

424
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.440
Oh, I love it. I love it a fellow Canadian,

425
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:25.960
I love it. No, But I just you know, my

426
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.319
parents have always been supportive. And I said I didn't

427
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:31.279
want to take guitar lessons or sorry, I didn't want

428
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:34.240
to take riding lessons anymore. I wanted to switch to guitar,

429
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:36.359
and my mom was like, but like, we don't know

430
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:38.519
anyone who plays guitar, Like where did this come from?

431
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.880
And I just like always had this like bug that

432
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.440
I wanted to perform and sing, and so yeah, I'm

433
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:47.440
just so grateful that like we get to do this now.

434
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:49.160
It's crazy. We've worked so hard to.

435
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:53.640
Be here, and that's so cool. Your parents, because how

436
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:57.200
many parents are like, get a real job. But I

437
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:01.519
find that nowadays more and more, Yep, it's more like

438
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:04.279
your scenario. That's because mostly the parents are gen X

439
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.480
like me. Yeah that our parents were good a real job.

440
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.599
And I literally I played drums, I played guitar, I

441
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:14.599
sang thrash meow, I was in the eighties sunset strip scene. Yeah,

442
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:19.359
I knew everybody, and I listen like, good a real

443
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.680
job instead of following my dreams. Well, and then I

444
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:23.599
brought it back later.

445
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.160
I feel like everybody has their own path and how

446
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.160
they get there, and as long as you chase your dream,

447
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:30.400
that's all that matters.

448
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:34.440
And sometimes you need a different path to maybe appreciate that. Absolutely.

449
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:36.799
I tried to go to college. That was a path

450
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.799
that was not happening for me. So and then I

451
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.799
dropped out and I moved to Nashville. So like you

452
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.160
kind of your path sets you up for your journey

453
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.039
and where you're going and who you're supposed to be

454
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.920
and all the people along the way.

455
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:51.920
Well there you go. Yeah, how did people connect to

456
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.319
you on socials? On the web? Merge all that stuff?

457
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:57.920
So everything is under royal in music or royal in

458
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:00.640
on a lot of social media, you know, Instagram, Facebook,

459
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:02.599
all of those, and you'll be able to roil with

460
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:05.279
an e for anyone out there wondering. But yeah, no,
