The Vapors' fourth album Wasp In A Jar (release date: February 28, 2025 via Vapors Own Records)
Album single "Hit The Ground Running" will be released on January 17

With 2025 kicking off the next chapter for The Vapors, the band are looking at a full plate of activity. “2025 is shaping up into a very busy year for us,” says Danny. “We have the album out on February 28th accompanied by a tour of UK grassroots venues in March. Then we have some UK shows with Big Country in April and May and then we are returning to the US for the Lost '80s tour with A Flock of Seagulls, Big Country, Josie Cotton, Icicle Works, Belouis Some and many others.”

Built around classic punk riffage with a chorus that opens up and toys with expectation, opening track “Hit The Ground Running” retains the breakneck rhythms that fans know and love from their previous releases. With nary a moment to catch a breath, The Vapors follow it up with “The Human Race” which Danny describes as a kind of “ballad of The Vapors.” “Carry On,” a statement about the current climate (“When the government needs to know / That’s when the government needs to go”), weaves around shimmering arpeggiated chords and Dave Fenton’s haunting vocal lines (“Carry on / As if nothing happened / Carry on / Like we did before”) before evolving into an epic and soaring outro that begs for an audience singalong.

“They all have significance to us in their own different ways. ‘The Human Race’ is about the band, ‘Look Away Now’ is about Dave dealing with his Parkinson's Disease and ‘Miss You Girl’ is about children wanting to move out of the family home.

The Vapors is Dave Fenton (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Steve Smith (bass), Michael Bowes (drums), Danny Fenton (guitar). Wasp In A Jar will be released on February 28, 2025 via Vapors Own Records and was recorded and produced by Michael Giblin (The Split Squad) at Mechanicsburg, PA and mastered by Greg Reierson at Rare Form Mastering.

The band, formed in 1979 45-year history

The band parted company late in 1981, with all members going on to have varied and successful careers across the entertainment industry.

In 2016, after a decade of Internet clamour for a revival, they announced their reformation for a short series of gigs, including a sell-out show at London’s Dingwalls. Over 170 gigs and 2020’s comeback album third album Together and several singles later, they’re stronger and more relevant than ever.

your new music, the newest single you dropped on the seventeenth,

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.000
and it just brings me all the way back to

21
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.640
nineteen eighty and like hit the ground Running to me

22
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.359
is like just like I went in the DeLorean back

23
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.359
to nineteen eighty which is funny because I just got

24
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.680
off into a radio coverage at ship Rock where the

25
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.120
theme was the eighties and they had the DeLorean there. Wow,

26
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:48.439
So it is pretty funny. But what a what a

27
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.319
great song. So tell us what it's like after forty

28
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.239
five years to write new music.

29
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.319
It's been great. We've been, it's been.

30
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.079
We had a lot of songs, and we had an

31
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.319
American friend who said, oh, you should, you should. You

32
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.760
guys need to make another album. You know, the last

33
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.919
song is great, make another one. And we had a

34
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.360
friend called Mike Giblin who has his own studio in

35
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.319
his basement. He said, yeah, I really would love to

36
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.919
do it. I'd love to produce uh and yeah. So

37
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.800
we headed down to Pennsylvania to Mechanicsburg in September and

38
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.039
I spent two weeks there making what I think is

39
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:31.639
is a.

40
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.280
Is an energetic fun album.

41
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.240
Well it's not only are jagging fun, but the subjects

42
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:44.759
that you guys are writing about are Again, how are

43
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.800
we back in the eighties where we have to write

44
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.080
about some of this crap still? You know, like it

45
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.319
seems like some of the subjects in the world are

46
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:53.759
the same as they were in the eighties.

47
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:54.879
Absolutely.

48
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.479
Yeah, we've been playing some songs from the first album

49
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.639
quite recently, and it's just like, we play a song

50
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.199
called there's a song called cold War, and it's like, well,

51
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.520
there's still some kind of Cold war going on. There's

52
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.360
so many of the same issues and the same problems

53
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.680
now as there were right back in nineteen eighty.

54
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:17.520
Yeah, it just blows my mind. Like I remember me

55
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.919
and my bro we would be like, it doesn't matter

56
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.560
in the world's going to blow up in nineteen eighty

57
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.719
four anyway. And who would have thought in twenty twenty

58
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.599
five we would still be thinking that way, but still here,

59
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:30.400
you know.

60
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.599
Yeah, you'd have thought it would ever have completely got

61
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.159
blown or up, or we'd have done something about making

62
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:41.479
sure it could never happen. Yeah, it's hard to believe

63
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:42.400
we're in the same place.

64
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.560
Yeah, totally. And you know, Okay, so I've they're viewed

65
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.719
and I'm friendly with Joe from the Vandals, and one time,

66
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.599
who's joking around during the interview because he knew wouldn't

67
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.039
ask him this, but he was like, and don't ask

68
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.080
us when the Vandals are going to come out with

69
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.319
new music. Nobody wants something fifty year old punk, rocker

70
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.560
rate and new music. But you guys did it fabulously.

71
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:11.240
I mean like like it's the music is as relevant

72
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:16.240
today as it was then and these this new album

73
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.240
is just like bad ass to be blunt brilliant.

74
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.399
I so glad you like it, and we're really proud

75
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.439
of it. We really enjoyed making it. We had a

76
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.759
lot of fun making it and basically we set the

77
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.600
equipment up, we put some microphones in front of it,

78
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.319
and we played live and recorded it.

79
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.839
It's very wow. It's very much.

80
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.079
Recorded in the way that we would have recorded Nuclear

81
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:40.480
Days back in nineteen eighty.

82
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.839
I love that because, you know, as being from you know,

83
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.279
the scene all this time myself, it's like I can't

84
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.920
miss those old days of the more the different type

85
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.120
of DIY like DIY today. But DIY is a lot

86
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.040
easier today than it was back then.

87
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:00.639
Oh yeah.

88
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.639
The computer is totally democratized music and made it possible

89
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:05.680
for everyone to make.

90
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:06.959
Records, which is great.

91
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:11.160
It's great everyone has the possibility to make records now.

92
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.879
Yeah, it is great. And on the other side, like

93
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.879
back when you started, it's like you learned to become

94
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.319
a musician, you know, by basically trial and error and

95
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:24.839
doing it.

96
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.560
Just going out and doing gigs. Yeah, just play and

97
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.800
play and play and play and get better and get

98
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.079
better and get better hopefully.

99
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.839
So do you think also that the period of time

100
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.000
where we had no live music for COVID helped you

101
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.800
in writing new music because the way I look at

102
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:49.000
is for a lot of a lot of like current bands,

103
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.480
it gave them a chance to get off the hamster

104
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.199
wheel and like create again. And I think with that

105
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.240
downtime that creativity comes out.

106
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.000
Yeah, I mean yeah, I think we didn't do very

107
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.439
much during COVID as a band. I mean we didn't

108
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.240
even really get together or rehearse very much. But Dave

109
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.600
was very it was prolific in writing stuff and he

110
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.639
had a lot of stuff. He had a lot of

111
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.800
stuff written when we came out of COVID and we

112
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.279
started playing again, and he was like, well, you know,

113
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.040
I've got some new songs. You want to play some

114
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.720
new songs, And it's all about it has to excite

115
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.040
me first for me to if I hear something that

116
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.600
excites me, I think this could excite everyone else. And

117
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.160
some of the songs I was just like, yeah, this

118
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.000
is a great song. I love this bit and I

119
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.560
love that bit, and yeah, I hope that feeling comes across.

120
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.000
It does come across, And that's why I brought that up, because, yeah,

121
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.920
where with that downtime, you're not you can't really rehearse together,

122
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.319
you can't really be on the road, you can't play,

123
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.879
you can't all you can do is right, is the

124
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:55.759
way I'm thinking.

125
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:56.240
You know.

126
00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.959
So that's when you have that time where you can switch,

127
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.879
to switch off for everything else and just focus on

128
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:05.800
the creativity.

129
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.600
Yeah, and I think Dave must have done a lot

130
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:12.560
of that, because I'm sure it came out with some

131
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:13.319
great songs.

132
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.319
Yeah, and so tell us a little bit about the

133
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:21.199
different songs, because they definitely have some meaning, like, for instance,

134
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:23.199
the Human Race.

135
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.199
Yeah, well it's just about it's about the band, really, Yeah,

136
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.519
this song about the band and you know what what

137
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.519
we've been doing, which is running in the human race.

138
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.319
And it's nice to escape to music from the human

139
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:40.319
race nowadays.

140
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.000
Yeah. Yeah, but there's another one. I mean, I love

141
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.519
that song too. It just it makes me smart.

142
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:53.279
Yeah. Well, and then of course, so I was on

143
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.879
that I told you that cruise ship rocked and radio coverage.

144
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.639
But my daughter she lives up in the Panhandle of Florida,

145
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:04.160
and she texted me a video of them having a

146
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:05.000
blizzard there.

147
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:05.959
Wow.

148
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.759
And you know you have another song on the album

149
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:15.519
talking about climate change and if it's a blizzard in Florida,

150
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.240
we need to worry for sure.

151
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.439
Yeah, we do need to worry when we need to

152
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.920
at least, you know, think about it and not just

153
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.519
blindly carry on like we have been for hundreds of

154
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:32.919
years now, Yeah, exactly since the Industrial Revolution exactly.

155
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.639
Now, is there any song on the album, like they're

156
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.720
all probably your babies, but is there one that really,

157
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:47.240
you know, like it's home for you besides the human race,

158
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.000
because obviously it's about you guys.

159
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.639
I mean I really like Hit the Ground Running because

160
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.320
it's because it's so punk rock.

161
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.240
It is, and I definitely got the turning Japanese is

162
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.200
like vibe out of it, you know, the vibe of it,

163
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:08.000
you know, that's what I mean, that scene vibe of

164
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:08.759
that music.

165
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:14.879
Then yeah, it's just let's just let's just play live.

166
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.080
Let's just try and capture the energy in the room.

167
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:18.120
Yeah.

168
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.000
I think Mike Given the producer, has managed to do

169
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:23.799
that absolutely.

170
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:27.639
And now speaking of live, you guys are going to

171
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:33.039
be doing a tour, and so tell us about live

172
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.840
shows are going to be going on in twenty twenty five.

173
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.919
Well, first up, we've got some UK shows to promote

174
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.960
the album we're doing. I think it's eight, but we've

175
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.480
gone right back to our roots, doing small club gigs.

176
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.000
Wish. It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm

177
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.000
really looking forward to that.

178
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.600
Then we've got we've got some gigs with Big Country

179
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:59.799
in the UK in April and May, which I think

180
00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:02.919
is ten or twelve gigs, and then in the summer

181
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.080
in August and September, we're coming over to America to

182
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.320
play on the Lost Eighties Life Tour, which is six

183
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:09.919
weeks long.

184
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.320
Yes, and that. Do you know yet? What states there's

185
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:16.200
going in?

186
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.159
It's all over It's all over there. It's where there's

187
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:25.200
some some place. We're going Florida, We're going to yeah,

188
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:29.360
at Georgia, this is California, Texas. It's quite a few,

189
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:31.200
quite a few states this time.

190
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.240
I definitely have to be at the Florida show, especially

191
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:40.000
since Okay, you guys are playing big countries playing Flaker's goals,

192
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:45.279
and my friend Josie Carton is playing so Icicle works.

193
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.639
It's definitely it's definitely going to be a live of

194
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:50.440
fun for sure.

195
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.240
Yeah, those tours are just such fun to do.

196
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.080
Really, you get some you get to make a lot

197
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.200
of friends in the other bands because you spend so

198
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.919
much time to go the backstage hanging out, right, You

199
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:04.960
make a lot of friends on those tools.

200
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:05.960
And we did.

201
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.519
We did The Lost Eighties in twenty nineteen, and I'm

202
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.200
still friends with a lot of people from that tour.

203
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.600
Nice. And see that's good to hear because you know,

204
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.840
back in the eighties, Okay, so as an example, you know,

205
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.240
I was into metal, and you couldn't be into new

206
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:26.879
wave if you were into merdle, and you couldn't go

207
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.679
a little punk show if you had long hair, and

208
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.399
vice versa. And it was just so stupid. And yeah,

209
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.440
you know, you know it's funny because the first time

210
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.559
I was ever talking with Josie, I was like, you know,

211
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.320
I can say it now, I used to like you

212
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:47.120
in the eighties, but I wasn't allowed to have to

213
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:51.320
keep it secret, I know, right, I remember it was

214
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.440
so funny. One day one of my best friends, we

215
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.799
went to all these metal shows all the time, and

216
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.600
you know, I found the album. I was just talking

217
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.960
about this recently. I found this album Man's House and

218
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.919
I was like, what's this like? And not in a

219
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:12.519
nice way, and it was Adam and the Ants Kings

220
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.399
of the Wild Frontier. To this date, that is one

221
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:21.480
of my favorite albums ever, you know, And so yeah,

222
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.720
it's like it's like, but you know, I had to play,

223
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.200
you know, like, oh, you shouldn't be listening to this,

224
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.919
you know. And it's so cool that nowadays, you know,

225
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.200
that's the one place in the world that we can

226
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.039
all get together and get along and be united. And

227
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:46.000
that's in any type of live music venue, event, festival,

228
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.120
I don't care what it is, and doesn't matter what

229
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:49.519
genre you're from.

230
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:53.720
Yeah, everyone can. Yeah the get together and chewing.

231
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.799
Yeah. I've said, if we want to solve all the

232
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:02.240
world's problems, just have one big live music event with

233
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:08.159
everybody and you know, and we could all unite and

234
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.639
stop you know what all the powers that be are

235
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.360
trying to manipulate us to do, and let's just love

236
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:17.399
each other and be human beings together.

237
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.320
Yeah, and share and help each other, no, be kind.

238
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:28.360
No doubt one hun. So, is there a tell us

239
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:32.039
how people can check out the new album. It drops

240
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:36.159
February twenty eighth. Yeah, it's Vapor Zone Records.

241
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:41.200
Yeah it's it's being released in America on Red Chuck Records.

242
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:46.639
I think it's available from band camp. Uh, and that's

243
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.559
going to be the album's gonna be on vinyl n

244
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:53.279
CD on Red Chuck. Nice for all our American friends.

245
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.399
I love it. I love it, and so yeah, definitely

246
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:03.759
badass album. I can't believe after forty five years you're

247
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:08.360
still playing out great music that is, you know, like

248
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.360
stands to test the time. And that's the key right there.

249
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.519
Too, thanks very much.

250
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.240
Like I say, the song's all excited me when I

251
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.399
first heard them, and and that that gives it a

252
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.320
good chance of exciting other people.

253
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.440
That's the most important part. Like if it doesn't excite

254
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.320
you and you're you're the one playing it, who could

255
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:29.639
who would it excite?

256
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:34.639
Exactly exactly, And I'm pretty firm about that, Like if

257
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:36.159
if we play something and.

258
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:38.639
If any of us go to or you know, I'm not.

259
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.840
Really sure about this one. It's just like, okay, we're

260
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.200
not doing that one. Hey, we all have to think, yeah,

261
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:46.279
this is great.

262
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.240
Absolutely, and it's the same for me as pressed like

263
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.360
I won't do an interview of an artist that I

264
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.320
don't like the music because I can't passionately promote them

265
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:58.240
if I don't like it.

266
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:02.200
Yeah, I mean you can't. Yeah. I mean, who you're

267
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:03.559
going to say is I don't like it?

268
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:04.320
Right?

269
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.240
I mean I see these other media people sometimes I

270
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:10.000
go on tour and do these festivals all over the US,

271
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.559
UK and Europe. I see these media people more here

272
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.840
than over there, that they're doing interviews with bands that

273
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.320
like they don't even like the music, And I'm like,

274
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:22.039
why are you doing press an event that you don't

275
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:27.679
even like that? Right? Music is a passion, and when

276
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:29.840
you're talking to people about music, you have to have

277
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:34.759
that same passion about it. You know, well, you guys

278
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.159
definitely have it. I can't wait till you play live

279
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.279
here in the States, and you know, I can't wait

280
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.480
for this album to drop. Everybody needs to get it.

281
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.480
Thanks a lot for putting out new music all these

282
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.799
years later, and thanks for being on the Adventures of
