00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:16.920
Hi you lunt. Yes, that's true. Wow, crazy young. Hello,

2
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.120
this is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

3
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:25.160
Man W four c Y Radio and I'm here with.

4
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.640
Sam mctrusty from the rock and Roll Band to a Atlantic.

5
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.960
I love that you just said rock and roll. Like

6
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.719
everybody wants to get all these micro genre bullshit. I

7
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.000
hate genres because there's like ten million of them.

8
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.520
Well, we're gonna we're gonna get along just fine because

9
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.439
we don't have a single one. We've got seven albums

10
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.799
we've been going for a long time, and every single

11
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.679
one of them could be a different band.

12
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:50.880
I love that.

13
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.119
Apart from the fact that it's me singing on it,

14
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:54.799
it could be a different rock band.

15
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.880
So I've said this before today, you know, like it's

16
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.320
like when everybody was being ship to Ali for music

17
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.439
now and it's like, why do I want to write

18
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:06.400
the same song.

19
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.760
Over and over A Yeah, no, No, it's just limiting

20
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.319
and I don't know, reductive, isn't it. It just makes

21
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.079
a mockery of the art form.

22
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.400
Yeah. And if you're growing artists, meaning you're learning your craft,

23
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.719
when you want to expand out and of course experiment

24
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.000
what you're learning and getting better at I mean, I don't.

25
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:28.400
I don't know.

26
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.640
Well, dude, Matt, like, we started this band when I

27
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:33.920
had just come out of high school, so I was

28
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.239
like seventeen eighteen, and the things that I cared about

29
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.359
then and the and my view on the world is

30
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:47.239
so different to now. Yeah, not not completely like polar opposite,

31
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.000
but like yeah, but just like life experience. I've got

32
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.560
kids now, there's all these things to write about, So

33
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.640
it just seems weird to me that the music wouldn't

34
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.159
also evolve along with a no doubt.

35
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.799
And you know, it's funny, like I've interviewed Joe from

36
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.040
the Vandals several times. We've become friendly, but he knows

37
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.280
I won't ask him this, but every other press person

38
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.159
has him. So when are the Vandals going to come

39
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.719
out with new music? So he headed it up because

40
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.240
he knew. I went as He's like, don't ask me

41
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.800
when the Vandals are going to write new music. Nobody

42
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.400
wants to hear fifty year old writing punk songs.

43
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.400
I mean, I'm told I think it was. Then if

44
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.800
you go long enough, then I do want to hear

45
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:31.879
like an older I would want.

46
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.639
You want to hear the fifty year old punk. Yeah,

47
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.919
not the sixteen year old punk.

48
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.159
True true. I want to hear the new fresh perspective

49
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:40.439
on it.

50
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:41.120
No doubt.

51
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:41.479
Yeah.

52
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.479
So I told you I had a story for you

53
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.240
before we started the interview because you're wearing a New

54
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.960
York Mets hat. Okay. There's a band playing here at

55
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:52.520
download just like you are.

56
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:52.919
Okay.

57
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.680
Probably one of my favorite interviews ever because they were

58
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.879
blasted when they came to my interview.

59
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.520
Was that stone cold sober eating an orange when we met? Yeah?

60
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.000
See, there you go. And it was at Laaran Life,

61
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.960
which is a in Louisville, Kentucky where there's lots of bourbon.

62
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.800
Oh yeah, so the interview before me, the guy was

63
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.840
a bourbon console or so. They were with him for

64
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.919
an hour while they're doing bourbon.

65
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.719
Tasting, and then came to me, what band was this?

66
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.039
I'm gonna tell you a second Okay, Okay, they're an

67
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.599
Aussy band. Have you figured it out yet? Playing that download?

68
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:36.360
An aussy band playing AUSSI Australian band player.

69
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.479
Oh I don't even know who's playing it download? Man,

70
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.120
that's the problem.

71
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.639
Park Airborne Airborne of course, Airborne.

72
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.719
Our lead guitar player right now has an airborne shirt on.

73
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.080
Wow. Yeah, now that's why you're gonna love en So

74
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:58.840
in this interview. Okay, they just started announcing a Mets

75
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.840
game like the real radio announcers. It was the funniest

76
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.120
ship ever. I couldn't I couldn't even keep my composure

77
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.199
to do the interview. I was like dropping my mic

78
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:11.479
and laughing my ass off.

79
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:11.759
It was.

80
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.280
It was like one of my favorite ever to see.

81
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.319
If you asked me to announce any baseball game, I

82
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.360
wouldn't know how to do it right. This is like

83
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.240
a vanity baseball hat where I just like the colors.

84
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.879
It is. That's like a fensive, isn't it to those

85
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.920
who I don't give and I should know better? But

86
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:29.279
it is.

87
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.279
But I don't give a shit.

88
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.480
I live in Toronto now, so I don't even I

89
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:33.439
should know better.

90
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.000
At least it's a Mets hat because I am a

91
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.560
Yankees fan. But I get more annoyed of all the

92
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.560
people in the States wearing Yankees hats already, especially the Southerners,

93
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.639
Like you don't like Yankees? Why are you wearing a hat?

94
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.279
Could be could be wearing a Boston hat. I could

95
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:56.160
be wearing a Boston hat, like you then I know

96
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.079
some of the baseball rivalry stuff.

97
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.160
But it's funny that you mentioned Parkway Drive too.

98
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.360
I know that was my I couldn't think of any

99
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:04.319
other Rossie band there.

100
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.360
So well. I was interviewing Winston on ship Rocked a

101
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.480
few months ago. I pulled this thing out, this is

102
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.600
my eighties battle Oh cool, and he geeked out over

103
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.879
it the whole interview. He's like, oh man, he's like

104
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.720
like this. He was like fanboying on my vest so.

105
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.319
Cool patch from Is this from the eighties? This patch?

106
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:28.439
Yeah? That he was like, probably, whoa, I never saw

107
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.079
a Metallica logo like that. It's jumping the fire Slayer

108
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.279
didn't even have patches yet yourself. Yeah. And then in

109
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.160
l A people thought it was a gang banger and

110
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:42.319
that was my gang name. So tell us about the

111
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:42.959
new album.

112
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.000
We've just put a new single out right now, and

113
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.120
that's that's it. We don't we don't have we're working

114
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.800
on new music, but we we've ended up in this

115
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.120
interesting spot where we've got our own record label now.

116
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.560
After being sort of we've kind of done. We've done

117
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.839
the independent label with no money. We've done the independent

118
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.480
label with loads of money. We've done the major record

119
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:12.639
label thing, we've done digital distribution deal, and we've done

120
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.879
all these different iterations of how you would release music

121
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.360
in the modern era, and we just kind of got

122
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.160
jaded a bit by that process. So we're like always

123
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.360
wanting to put songs out and just be proactive and

124
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.879
have caught like content that kind of makes our skin. Yeah,

125
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.800
but are we put the song out we wanted to

126
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.519
put out and were coming up for being a band

127
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.319
of nearly twenty years, We're like, yeah, we've probably earned

128
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.120
the We've probably earned the right to get away with this.

129
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.240
So yeah, we put this song out, Salvation it's called,

130
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.199
and it just felt really free. And it also feels

131
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.360
like a good example to set to other bands from

132
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.800
back home that are maybe just starting out that there

133
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.399
is a pathway to doing things on your own terms

134
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:01.920
and stuff like that.

135
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.680
I think that's what's the benefit nowadays compared to like

136
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.800
in the eighties, right because I sat there backstage in

137
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.839
La while these record labels would tell bands, Okay, this

138
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.000
is how you're going look, this is what your music's

139
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.680
going to be like now on blah blah blah, and

140
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:22.040
I'm thinking that's fucked up. Like the suits should be

141
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.079
the suits and the artists should be the artist always

142
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.040
always come on, man, do what your what your expertise is,

143
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.600
and if you're an artist, you should have total creative control.

144
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.279
Yeah, I mean, it's funny because these artists get signed

145
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.160
off of the merit of their own work, you know

146
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.720
what I mean, Like the suits as you're saying, like

147
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.160
have signed them because they're good, right, you know what

148
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:46.399
I mean?

149
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.680
And the hypocrisy that change them.

150
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:50.759
I feel like if if you get involved too much,

151
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.879
it can like start to take away the magic that

152
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.480
made them good in the first place. Because you anything,

153
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.240
you put doubt in an artist's mind. That's like a

154
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.079
poison that there's no cure for.

155
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.480
Basically, well, you're like following in the footsteps of the

156
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:09.279
Beatles because they label oh yeah true, yeah, yeah, you're

157
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:09.839
right up there.

158
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.720
That's the only time we'll ever get compared to them.

159
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:14.480
But I'll take it.

160
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.879
Yeah, you heard it here on The Adventures of Pipe Man.

161
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.199
You are on a level of the Beatles.

162
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:21.839
Amazing.

163
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.319
Is there anything else you want to share with the

164
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.600
listeners that we haven't covered that you want them to

165
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:27.160
know about you?

166
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.439
No, man, we're just in a really good. We're not.

167
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.120
We're just in a really good place where where just

168
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:36.279
a bunch of humble guys who've been touring for, like

169
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.559
I'm saying, for nearly twenty years, and we're just like

170
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.399
chipping away and at the craft of being in a band.

171
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:46.200
It's all about getting better and improving, but making a deeper,

172
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.720
more meaningful connection with our fan base and just the

173
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.399
like alternative music community on a hole and that's that's

174
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.279
our mission, is just to do that for as long

175
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:57.480
as possible.

176
00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.440
It's way better than a fucking genre.

177
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.879
Yeah, we don't. Yeah, we're definitely a rock band, don't

178
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:04.919
get me wrong, But that's.

179
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:10.399
A rock that's the bands are like, we're just rock,

180
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.600
we're just roll.

181
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.039
I could play three or four songs in that row

182
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:18.240
and you would just be like, that's that's four different bands. Man. See.

183
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.279
I love that because like all these bands nowadays like

184
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.320
that aren't like that. It's like an algebraic equation they

185
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.759
use to make music.

186
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.440
And I do think we'd be we'd be a much

187
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:32.720
bigger band if we did that, but we just can't.

188
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:38.360
But you're a true yeah, well artists, i'd like to.

189
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.000
Think so, Yeah, I'd like to think so yeah.

190
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.799
Well, tell everybody how they reach out to you, guys

191
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.080
on the net, on locals, your record label information, everything

192
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.480
so they can reach out to you, and most importantly

193
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.200
by your merch because that's the only way you get

194
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:52.960
to the next gig.
