from Census Fail Nice here at Aftershock.

7
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.039
Oh my god, do you love
this festival or what? Yeah? This

8
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.599
was my first time, so I
really really really like this setup here.

9
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.200
It's great. The cool vibe right
like I do all the Danny Wimmer festivals,

10
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.799
but by far this is the coolest. Like media artist area. Oh

11
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.280
yeah yeah yeah. The Daytona one's
sick too, but yes, that's a

12
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:21.599
different vibe. This is cool.
You know what's sick about Daytona is driving

13
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.079
on that speed wid r. Yeah, like you'd never imagine that on TV.

14
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.040
Never, And then you're gonna laugh. Okay, so you know how

15
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.680
it goes straight up on up and
down on the embankment. I was talking

16
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.000
to Christine while we're there. I'm
like, uh, I have my skateboard

17
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.319
and my cheek. Well, I
get in trouble if I go skateboard on

18
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.879
that. No, she was like, yeah, I don't know if that'd

19
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.319
be a good idea. You'll probably
wipe out. I'm counting on it.

20
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:55.040
I'll wait till my last interview.
Yeah that's good. Oh man. So,

21
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.480
uh, tell our listeners who haven't
heard you guys before, how you

22
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.680
describe yourself as an artist? Not
genre? But yeah, we we have

23
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.439
a lot of melody, a lot
of angst lyrical, We're a lyrical band.

24
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:15.520
We're very interested in talking about how
we can live life in a more

25
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.400
tolerable fashion, tolerable meeting that life
is fucking hard. So what else is

26
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.879
a good way of playing it?
By the way, because I don't think

27
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:29.439
you could have put any Yeah yeah, yeah, But musically we're we have

28
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.800
a mix of heaviness and poppiness where
we've been around for twenty two years,

29
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.439
so it's also ebbed and flowed.
We have some really heavy stuff that's heavier

30
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.240
than anything here, all the way
down to stuff that's you know, kind

31
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.000
of pop punk, so in that
realm. Okay, So there's a lot

32
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.960
of bands like you that you know
over the years, you evolve and nobody

33
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:53.639
wants you to evolve. Oh no, yeah, And I think we made

34
00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:00.319
it to a point where the people
are okay with any version that we have

35
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.919
of our band. It is twenty
years yeah right. And that's cool though,

36
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.319
because you as an artist, you
don't want to do the same thing

37
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.800
over and over again. You can't
do the same thing, it's not possible.

38
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:15.639
No, So and you change as
a person and you get more experience

39
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.240
better at the crad. Yeah.
You know how many bands on their first

40
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.479
album they don't even really know what
they're doing. And so you look back

41
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.159
on that and some of your hardcore
fans are like, DU's their best music,

42
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.439
and us and yours are like,
that's my worst music. Yeah yeah,

43
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:35.919
yeah, And I just at that
point like I'm whatever anybody wants to

44
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.240
hear. I'm down. So see, that's the way it should be,

45
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.120
because you know, back in the
day, it's like you could only listen

46
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.800
to this Like I came from the
time where oh, you can't listen to

47
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.840
this band. If you listen to
this band, it was bullshit, Like

48
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.520
why not listen to whatever you feel
like? Listen, you know, and

49
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.479
play. That's why I say no
genre, because you're the artist. Yeah

50
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:01.000
you should. Just to me,
creating music is just that creating and expressing

51
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.719
and experimenting. Yeah, pretty much, you know. So that's cool.

52
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:12.680
Now, I saw Jersey on your
tattoo. What exit? Oh well,

53
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.720
I mean it depends because I've lived
various different places, need to Most recently,

54
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.839
I was in Jersey City, So
that's technically a turnpike exit for the

55
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:30.600
Lincoln Tunnel. So that's what I
would go with secaucas Road off of the

56
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:36.319
nine. But you got to get
off the turnpike at so if you want

57
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.279
to get real specific, you take
the eighty exit, which I forget what

58
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:46.480
number is. You get on eighty, then you take that to the turnpike

59
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.319
and then you get off the Lincoln
Tunnel. So there you go. Yeah.

60
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.360
Yes, I've lived all over Jersey. Yeah, I grew up in

61
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:57.560
Montclair, Low Falls, roseland I've
lived up in Jefferson Township in a pack

62
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.600
on South playing Field, Oh wow, West Orange, West Parison, Old

63
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:09.959
Bridge, Yeah, Sayerville technically ninety
eight now too because my sister my parents

64
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.680
lived down in like the Belmar area. Yeah. So I coached ice hockey

65
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.120
at wallar Ree Wow. Okay,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

66
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.959
my cousins live in Wall, my
sister lives in Brick and yeah, I

67
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.800
lived in Ocean Township and last place
I lived in Jersey. Yeah. Yeah,

68
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.759
so I got a lot of exits. Exactly me too, I can

69
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.360
there. But what I can say
is I remember the good old days driving

70
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:38.199
down the ac and losing all my
money and driving home in the morning and

71
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.879
throwing pennies in the toll booth to
try to trick it. Yep, yeah,

72
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:46.639
I just take the ticket. So
what's gonna be happening after After Shock?

73
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.319
We have a big show to Mars, sold out House of Blues,

74
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.519
Anaheim. Nice. It's the fifteenth
anniversary of the record that we're touring on,

75
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.399
so it's its actual birthday. We're
live streaming it with veeps, and

76
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.639
then we're gonna do a ton of
stuff. Next year. We're doing a

77
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.959
cruise Email's not dead cruise. We're
going to be traveling internationally, writing recording,

78
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.199
and then I have a whole bunch
of other touring plans. So very

79
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.480
cool. Yeah, does it like
trip you out to have a fifteenth time

80
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.519
versary of an album? Like I
just like a blink of liking it,

81
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:24.120
people actually showing up and being interested
in it trips me out more than because

82
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.319
you could have an unsuccessful fifteen year
anniversary a lot of things. Right,

83
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.519
you're divorced, you know you could
have a so fifty you can make anything

84
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:36.120
an anniversary. That doesn't mean it's
warranted, you know what I mean.

85
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:42.439
I love the fact that people are
here and we're headlining our stage tonight.

86
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.079
It's cool, right, you're going
to kill it here at after Shock.

87
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.959
So craziest story in your whole musical
journey way you think it would be.

88
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:57.040
Probably when I forgot the lyrics on
Conan Oh for the first verse of Rummas

89
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.680
not for drinking, Rumm's for burning
out for drinking. That was pretty devastating.

90
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.560
That crazy because it was like an
awful experience. Yeah, but crazy

91
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:11.319
because also once that happened, I
never had to worry about anything. Because

92
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.519
if you fail on a large level, more larger than anyone, most people

93
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.040
won't get an opportunity to have like
something like that happened. I'm kind of

94
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.639
impervious to the idea of failure.
Yeah, I don't worry about it ever,

95
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.759
And I think a lot of people
get stuck worrying if they fail.

96
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.759
I would be terrible as an oars
because you're your worst critic, right well

97
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.480
yeah, but also if you do
have documented like hey, I did blow

98
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:41.720
it here, it's kind of like
somebody who does it was an athlete,

99
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.920
Like you have to get over it. Yeah, you blow it and you

100
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:46.759
got to figure it out, no
doubt, because things happen. Oh yeah,

101
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.399
shit happens. You know. Funny, my funny story from what you

102
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:56.560
just said nineteen eighty three to US
festival. Oh wow, yeah. Van

103
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:03.680
Helen's headlining Sick. They're playing at
talking about love Eddie and the rest of

104
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.360
them keep looking at Dave because he's
not singing, and in Dave fashion,

105
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.319
he yells to three hundred thousand people, I fucking forgot the words and the

106
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.600
whole place. Did it happen?
Sometimes you're just up there on stage and

107
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.000
you're thinking, You're like, man, I wonder what we're gonna have for

108
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:26.040
lunch tomorrow, and you're just like
blackout. You know, when you do

109
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.959
it so often you end up on
stage, it's not this you're in the

110
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:31.919
zone. It's not this big deal
thing. You know, It's part of

111
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.320
what you do every day. So
you can end up thinking about things you

112
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.799
shouldn't be thinking about or like you
see someone in the crowd get punched,

113
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.600
that'll happen to me where I'm like, holy shit, and then I'm like,

114
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.759
oh fuck, I'm not singing.
I'm watching people what they're doing.

115
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.399
That happens to me a lot a
lot of times at festivals too, because

116
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.159
people get wild and there's like so
much watching all these people and I'm forgetting

117
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.159
what I'm supposed to be doing because
they're watching me. Well yeah, so

118
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.320
how does everybody connect to you guys? On socials on the web? Check

119
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.519
out all you got. If you
want unhinged, you go to Twitter.

120
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.480
If you want skits and more unhinged, you go to TikTok. If you

121
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.600
want raccoon memes and carefully selected memes
for your pleasure, you come to My

122
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.159
personal one but the shud. And
if you want to know what the band

123
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:28.840
is doing minus that just good quality
band content, you go to census fail

124
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.600
at Instagram. Oh it's got it. Yeah, we got all different aspects

125
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.240
for different people's tastes. And it
should be like that with socials, right,

126
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.840
Like, if you post the same
shit on all your socials, why

127
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.080
do they have to follow all your
social I aways been posting pictures on my

128
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.960
feet for free. Apparently girls like
feet too well, especially when they're pretty.

129
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.720
You need to start an only fans. Well, we've talked about that,

130
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:54.399
but I don't think that's gonna work
for me. I think I'm more

131
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.440
like Robin Hood. I will steal
from the rich and I will give to

132
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:05.159
the poor. People who's loved ones
don't get pedicures. There you go.

133
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.159
I love it. So that's the
new thing is pedicures. Well, you

134
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.799
know you got to if you get
older, you got to take care of

135
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:18.279
yourself. You should do a thing
for like sentence failing do like they could

136
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.559
buy merch like a group on.
Oh no, We'll just do a many

137
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.600

meet and greets are themed. There you
