Man here on the Adventurous pipe Man W
5
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.479
four c Y Radio. And I'm
here with our next guest who had some
6
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.760
kill, our new music that's come
out, and some of tour dates coming
7
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:07.040
up. So let's welcome to the
show. Sign on theory. How are
8
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:14.079
you good? How are you doing
great? Doing great? So? Hell,
9
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.719
u's a little bit about the new
album. As we have behind me
10
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:25.599
there, tell us how the new
album ends. Yeah, So the new
11
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.000
album is we're pretty excited about as
you can see, it's coming out September
12
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.920
thirteenth. We got it all wrapped
up a little while ago. We did
13
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.840
this album a little bit different than
we have in the past. So our
14
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.359
first two albums with Dakota and we're
all recorded in the same place. We
15
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.439
had one hundred percent creative control all
this other stuff, and for this album,
16
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.480
we really wanted to kind of expand
our boundaries and just kind of like
17
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.239
learn as much as we could from
other people who were successful in the business.
18
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.760
And so this album does feature a
few co writes and things like that
19
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.280
where we've reached out to different people
like just a see their process, see
20
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.280
how they do things, and just
kind of like, you know, make
21
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.239
sure we're not you know, doing
the same thing over and over and over
22
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.039
again. We want to try and
always be continuing to grow and improve,
23
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.479
and so yeah, so we brought
in some co writes on this one,
24
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.639
and then we started recording with Chris
Dawson. And we had done a couple
25
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.520
of random singles with him in the
past and had a great experience. But
26
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.800
I mean just flat out Dawson is
doing you know, some really great He's
27
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.439
working with huge bands, he's got
big sound, he's got that really modern
28
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.840
rock and we were really looking for
that for this album because you know,
29
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:38.400
this album is is definitely probably our
heaviest album. It's it's still gonna be
30
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.599
very all the things that people love
about Silent Theory are still going to be
31
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.479
there. We still have a lot
of you know, like the piano tracks
32
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.240
and strings and like all that kind
of fun accompaniment and stuff like that.
33
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.199
But like these songs are definitely much
heavier, a little bit more aggressive lyrics
34
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.520
and things like that. So I
think it'll be fun fun to see everybody's
35
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:04.039
response to that. Yeah, I
think it'll probably dig it and especially Okay,
36
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.159
so well you're new. It's videos
here, Emptiness in you It premiere
37
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:14.919
that revolver, so that's pretty cool
in and of itself. And oh my
38
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.400
god, it surpassed over one hundred
and twenty million video views. Does that
39
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:25.840
blow your mind or what a little
bit little bit? Our videos have always
40
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.199
done pretty well, kind of inexplicably. I mean, before we had any
41
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.560
sort of support. We just kind
of released the Frangile Minds video and that
42
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.400
has, you know, created this
whole support system for us on on YouTube
43
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.439
and things like that. So it's
it's pretty crazy to see how things have
44
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.759
grown so quickly. Yeah, And
I think about this sometimes too. For
45
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.120
bands, it's like, okay,
so you start out at one level and
46
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.599
then all of a sudden, of
nowhere, you know, your views blow
47
00:03:53.719 --> 00:04:00.759
up or engagement blows up, or
likes blow up and all that stuff,
48
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.560
and then it's like that's what you
want? And then you sit there and
49
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:10.039
go, how am I going to
respond to all this? Yeah? Like,
50
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:15.319
well, now we've got to keep
doing that right exactly. And you
51
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.199
know, so, and it's cool. You're playing one of the killer festivals
52
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:27.839
coming up, rock Fest, So
that's pretty cool. And you have a
53
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.920
tour you're going on starting on to
twenty second, and so tell us a
54
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.360
little bit about the tour and how
you ended up on rock Fest and all
55
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:41.399
that good stuff. Yeah, it's
it's pretty exciting. So this year has
56
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.439
been kind of a change for us
because we've been kind of bouncing around between
57
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.079
booking agents and things like that,
and right now we're with Continental Booking and
58
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.120
it's been pretty great so far.
Michelle has been doing great stuff for us.
59
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.920
And yeah, the Skylid Drive tour, like that's a band that like
60
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.279
has been around for quite a long
time, like back in the Warp Tour
61
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.160
days and things like that, and
it's kind of exciting to see they're making
62
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.759
new music and they're out doing an
anniversary tour for one of their big albums.
63
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.319
So it's it's gonna be kind of
exciting to be, you know,
64
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.639
be a part of that and help
support them on that adventure. It'll also
65
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.680
be good because we haven't really been
on the road as much recently. Especially
66
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.600
on the West Coast, which is
ironic because that's where we live. So
67
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.560
it'll be in some West Coast dates
and then yeah, Rockfest. I think
68
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.319
that one out actually came from Paul
or manager. Paul Crosby, formerly of
69
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.680
Saliva, you know, had some
connections and got us, you know,
70
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:40.040
in that door. But it'll be
fun because we played Incarceration back in twenty
71
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.800
twenty one, I think, and
they and we've played rock Fest or excuse
72
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.439
me, Rocklahoma in the past,
and so like, it's it's fun to
73
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:53.079
do these huge festivals, partially just
to get to connect with that many people
74
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.120
in one place, but also just
as a fan, like they always have
75
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.959
such killer lineups that you know,
you get to see some really great shows
76
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.360
while you're waiting around to play.
Yeah, I think I talked to you
77
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:10.360
at inc That's a pretty wild festival
too, right, Like I it's so
78
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.680
funny because I go on tour and
I do coverage of all these festivals,
79
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.319
and my daughter and one of my
daughters, she's always like, so you
80
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.839
excited. I'm like, well,
I do it every weekend and it's fun.
81
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.240
I don't know if exciting is the
key word when you're doing it.
82
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.279
Every weekend. But then when I
got to shaw Shank for the first time
83
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.240
that I covered that festival, I
was like, I'm calling you from the
84
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:38.040
prison yard of Shawshank, So yeah, now I'm excited. Yeah, that's
85
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.800
definitely a very unique venue. It's
pretty cool. Yeah. I mean I
86
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.800
was out one morning and I was
taking pictures of the prison and there was
87
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.639
this other dude taking pictures. He
was a band taking pictures in prison.
88
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.720
He's like, hey, you want
to take my picture, and I'll take
89
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.160
your picture. He's like, look
at us, we're fanboying out on the
90
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.360
prison. Yeah. It's kind of
funny because you tell people like you going
91
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.160
to Mansfield, Ohio, and they're
like, I have no concept as to
92
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.560
what that means, and you're like, well, it's it's on the grounds
93
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.000
of the old Ohio State Panitentiary where
they filled with Shawshak, And then the
94
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.680
people's kind of perk up a little
bit, like all right, Yeah,
95
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.600
it's funny too because that you're right, because who would ever go in Mansfield
96
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:25.040
otherwise, and that the local town
that lives there, and they're like,
97
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.600
you know, they're so proud of
that festival because that's like I think that's
98
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.800
the only thing they have in Mansfield. Other than that, it seemed like
99
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:41.160
it was a pretty kind of quiet
town. Yeah, exactly. So one
100
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:46.040
story good or bad in your musical
journey or crazy or wild? What would
101
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:55.480
it be? Oh, you know, that is a great question, because
102
00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:01.800
there's a lot of good bad and
otherwise I think I will go with just
103
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.920
because we're getting ready to do a
tour run a few years back. God,
104
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.920
I want to say it was like
twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen something like
105
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.560
that. We were doing a little
tour run. That was the year that
106
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.480
we went to Rocklahoma and stuff.
And we had a thirty eight foot RV
107
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.680
at that time, and that bus
had taken us everywhere and we've done a
108
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.480
lot of fun stuff with that bus, and then we started having some mechanical
109
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.800
issues. Got some help from a
really great guy named Cody and Bloomington,
110
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.440
Illinois got us to the festivals and
things that we needed to. But we
111
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.320
were like on the last leg leaving
Denver to go to Grand Junction to play
112
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.440
with Saliva, and then we were
headed home to play a couple of local
113
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:48.039
shows, and about twenty minutes outside
of Denver, the bus finally just died,
114
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.039
like there was just no saving it, and so we through the course
115
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.559
of the middle of the night,
we ended up sleeping about three hours in
116
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.799
a hotel. But like, we
ended up finding like the only U haul
117
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:07.240
in uh Denver area that like had
a capacity to tow. We rented that
118
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.399
U haul a sedan that could fit
the rest of everybody else. We hooked
119
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.000
up our trailer, gutted the bus
as much as we could, sold it
120
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.799
to some poor guy for like two
grand because we were trying to scrap it
121
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.519
or just you know, find somewhere
to responsibly leave it, and like nobody
122
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.000
had capacity to take it, and
the scrapyard like was like, we just
123
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.919
we can't right now. And so
some guy at the mechanic shop that we
124
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.120
were at, he's like, well, my dad's been looking for a project
125
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.320
RV and stuff like that. We're
like, we would love to talk to
126
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.200
him if he's available, And it
was like one of those like he was
127
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.000
a little pensive, but he was
interested, and we're like, don't mean
128
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.639
to rush you, but we really
have to have an answer yes or no.
129
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.080
He ended up buying it, so
we were eternally grateful for that,
130
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.320
and then we just bombed it as
fast as we could in that U haul
131
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.480
with the trailer up and over you
know, the Continental Divide down to to
132
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.200
Grand Junction, and ended up having
like the best show of the tour.
133
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:09.480
Like it was a packed place.
It was the Mesa Theater there, which
134
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.360
is a beautiful venue, just absolutely
packed to see Saliva play. And you
135
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.279
know, we got a great shout
out from the local radio DJ. Saliva
136
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.200
was pretty awesome about everything. And
then you know, we just so many
137
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.960
great conversations with fans and stuff like
that, and a couple humorous stories with
138
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.000
a particularly one young lady who was
just having a little too much fun and
139
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.639
kept asking everybody, like one at
a time, like hey you want to
140
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.320
you wanna go go party? And
we're like no, no, we're good,
141
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.759
thank you though, thank you.
And she'd be like, oh,
142
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.759
well do you wanna and we're like
no, no, that's very kind of
143
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.480
you to offer, but no,
thank you. And at one point she
144
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.240
got kicked out of the bar for
like getting in a fight with somebody,
145
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.759
and then somehow she ended up back
in the bar like a little later,
146
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.279
just completely frazzled, just like oh
man, thursdays, am I right?
147
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.720
And I'm like, who are you, I need to know your story,
148
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.519
right. Yeah, it was just
a real whirlwind of a twenty four hour
149
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.639
period. And I think that's one
that we think about a lot every time
150
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.440
we get ready to go on the
road, like hopefully we can have some
151
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.240
of those highs with a few less
of the lows. Yeah, So when
152
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:16.399
something like that happens where you're like, yeah, that's why, that's why
153
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:24.039
I'm doing this, or the other
side, Oh maybe I shouldn't be doing
154
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.720
this. Yeah, I definitely think
that. Like we we definitely had our
155
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.440
period, especially like Mitch and I
where we used to drink quite a bit
156
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.960
and have a good time, and
you know, I really enjoy those memories
157
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.679
in those times. But we're all
a little bit older, we're all married,
158
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:41.360
most of the guys have kids,
so it's like we're just in a
159
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.559
different phase in our life. We're
a little focused more on the business.
160
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.559
See. And I love hearing that
because you know, everybody thinks, like
161
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:58.639
these bands when they're teenagers, young
twenties, that that that's like all the
162
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.120
ever be. But it's just like
anything else in life, you evolve and
163
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:09.639
then this becomes your career and it
becomes something you want to be proud of,
164
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.919
you know, opposed to just hey, I want to just go have
165
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.759
fun and party. Now, it's
something that you know, you really want
166
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.679
to hone your craft and you really
want to be taken seriously and you want
167
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:30.480
to you know, create the best
way possible. Absolutely, and I mean
168
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.120
I think it really is evident in
our songwriting as well, Like if you
169
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.720
listen to our first album, it's
definitely a lot more lyrically driven by like
170
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.919
that kind of like party atmosphere and
kind of like having a good time.
171
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.120
And I think over time we started
writing about things that were you know a
172
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.120
little more important to us and things
like that. So well, it's true,
173
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.159
definitely evident on this album. I
think we like really cover on the
174
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.639
new album coming out, Like we
definitely have a few songs that are pretty
175
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.679
pointed and you know, things like
that well, and and when you go
176
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.279
through different stages of life, there's
different things to write about. Like I'm
177
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.200
sure there's things that you write about
when you're a teenager and you think back
178
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.360
in like, oh, well yeah
that was what I was thinking, but
179
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:20.639
man I was an idiot or something
like that, or you know, different
180
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.399
things that were important at one point
in life. They're not as important anymore.
181
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.360
They don't have the same me And
I always think about was talk about
182
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.279
this in the interview recently. You
know, when you're an artist that's been
183
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:37.639
around for a long time and there's
certain songs you have to play from way
184
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:43.200
back when that you can't you as
the artist can't even relate to anymore.
185
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.360
But everybody loves it, so you
got play and I'm thinking, man,
186
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.120
that's so hard. I would think, yeah, no, definitely. I
187
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.840
don't know why, but the first
thing that popped in my mind when you
188
00:13:52.840 --> 00:14:03.679
were saying that was so much our
entire life. I'm but like the whole
189
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.639
song's about like doing Crystal Math and
like things like that. It's like,
190
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.559
I kind of hope they're not living
that life anymore, right, right,
191
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.399
And if it's not the life you're
not living, it's be kind of hard
192
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.039
to sing about stuff like that.
It's like, actually, I have to
193
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:26.399
give kudos to you know, like
Tool won't I mean that Tool Perfect Circle
194
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.039
won't play Judith anymore because it doesn't
align with the Maynard's values, and like
195
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:37.240
that's one of our most famous songs, but he sticks to his values,
196
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.919
and it's like, well, you
know, I can't really sing about that
197
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.200
now type of thing. Yeah,
yeah, And I know the Beastie Boys
198
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.399
did a similar thing with their song
Girls Like, because that was pretty popular
199
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.840
for them. But they're like,
eh, we feel like we've grown up
200
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.840
a little bit, and we we
feel like that song does I have the
201
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:58.840
right tone anymore? Right? Right? And talk to me about your guitars
202
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.799
behind you there? Those are just
kind of my home guitars here. So
203
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:11.320
I got my this one, the
acoustic epiphone that just it's a good solid
204
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:16.200
guitar, think about it for one
hundred bucks and I just love playing around
205
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.559
to that one the bass on this
side. When I first joined the band,
206
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.879
we were a different name and it
was one guitar. I played bass,
207
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.759
and then Mitch was on drums and
we had a singer. Then we
208
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.519
slowly transitioned to Silent Theory, and
I was the original bass player, but
209
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.000
we decided to bring George in the
band because Frankly was a much better bass
210
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.879
player than I was, and we
really wanted to progress to a sound that
211
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.399
had, you know, a more
full like dynamic on stage, and so
212
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:50.200
we needed two guitars. And I'd
always kind of dabbled with guitar, and
213
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.960
so it really kind of was a
good motivator to actually get better at guitar
214
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.480
and stuff. So I keep that
one around just because you know, it's
215
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.240
it's still a good guitar. It's
the Nicky six model of the Thunderbird,
216
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:08.080
and it does kind of remind me
of the old humble beginnings. And then
217
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.039
this, uh, this other,
this fender behind me. I don't know
218
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.200
the full story on it. It's
kind of on loan from my buddy,
219
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.080
but he found it in a like
a state sale that people were like,
220
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.879
we're not one hundred percent sure,
but like dad was definitely a professional musician,
221
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.639
but like, as far as we
can tell, it's like a late
222
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.840
sixties Fender, and it's it's just
a really cool guitar and it has a
223
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.799
really beautiful, like I don't know, it's the imperfections because of the age
224
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.840
and stuff like that that come through
in the clean tones is really really beautiful
225
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.600
and I love I love tint around
at that sometimes nice and see I love
226
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:51.679
hearing all that because I think some
people that have never played guitar have an
227
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.240
idea they don't know, and they
probably wonder why, Okay, so why
228
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.159
is this guitarist that have different guitars
for different songs, and sometimes they may
229
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.000
not know the answer to that,
and each guitar does have its own story,
230
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:10.400
its own sound, and its own
vibe to it. Yeah, absolutely,
231
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:18.240
And over at the band space,
we've recently started playing solo guitars and
232
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:19.920
that was kind of we got turned
on to those by Dawson because that's what
233
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:26.400
he records a lot of his his
music with. And I mean they're very
234
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.960
affordable and they are incredible sound of
guitars. So we've worked out and got
235
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:36.720
a little bit of a artist endorsement
with those guys and got some guitars there
236
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:38.880
and then you know, just kind
of my personal collection. I also have
237
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.680
a couple of PRS's over there too, So you know, we definitely have
238
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.799
probably too many guitars, but I
mean it's a good problem to have.
239
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:52.039
Yeah, you can never have too
many, right, all right. So
240
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:59.400
the new album tell Us How It
Ends drops September thirteenth, And what's interesting
241
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.359
about that is I just literally,
like a couple hours ago, just got
242
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:11.039
home from flying in from LA because
my best bro of life he passed on
243
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.640
and his birthday was September thirteenth,
and so I was helping his wife out,
244
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:22.319
but then I see the September thirteenth
here, Like, it's just synergistic
245
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.680
that we're having this interview right now. Awesome, man, Well, I'm
