Louder Than Life not only continues its reputation as America’s Loudest Rock & Metal Festival with the 2025 edition, but the 11th year of the event also marked the biggest festival in the history of DWP, and breaking rock festival records in North America. There were a number of once-in-a-lifetime moments over the course of the four days that added to the specialness of Louder Than Life.

In addition to music performances, this year’s edition of Louder Than Life featured various partner onsite activations, award-winning beverages and delectable eats from partners including Acathla Clothing, Al Capone, Angel's Envy, Basil Hayden, Beatbox Beverages, Black Shades, Blackcraft Cult, Bud Light, Cutwater Spirits, Demons Behind Me, Dimebag Hardware, Drew Estate, Eargasm, Elijah Craig, Fxck Cancer, Huber's Starlight Distillery, Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam, Knob Creek & Rye, KREWE, Kroger, Maker's Mark, Middle West Spirits, Milagro Tequila, Old Forester, Park Community Credit Union,  Voices for Consumer Choice and Citizens for Tobacco Rights, Parlor Root Beer, Red Bull, Strüng, Take Me Home, The Music Experience, The Taylor Foundation, Tito's Handmade Vodka, To Write Love on Her Arms, U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, Voices for Consumer Choice and Citizens for Tobacco Rights, White Claw, and Willett Distillery.   According to Louisville Tourism, it is estimated that Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life together generated nearly $43 million in local economic impact in 2025. The back-to-back festivals also drove some of the highest hotel demand of the year, with overall occupancy reaching more than 80% citywide. These preliminary estimates highlight the tremendous tourism and economic value of the festivals, which bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to Louisville and fuel spending across hotels, restaurants, bourbon attractions, and local businesses.

Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here with.

5
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.920
Via Anthony and Matt from Violent vera nice.

6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.920
Here at Louder than Life. Is this your guys first

7
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:33.280
Danny Wimmer festival?

8
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:34.119
Yes?

9
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:34.520
It is.

10
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.880
Actually our next one is gonna be Aftershock.

11
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.359
I believe great one. You'll love that one. Yes.

12
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.000
I watched my Chemical Romance there if. That was the

13
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.359
first time I had ever been to a festival, and

14
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.079
it's really full circle to be able to now play it. Yeah,

15
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:48.960
we're super excited.

16
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.679
What does that feel like like when you're attendee and

17
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.159
then next thing you know, you're performing.

18
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.240
A dream come true? Honestly, I feel like I've been

19
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.479
almost imagining this moment for a really long time. So

20
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.560
the fact that it's happening now so quickly is it

21
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.599
quite Like I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

22
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.640
I love it. And so how did it happen? How

23
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.359
did you find out about doing Louder than Life? Like,

24
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.560
how did it come about? Yeah?

25
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:19.680
So we've been independent for the past like two three years,

26
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.799
but now we have like like the past couple our

27
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.319
first ever tours. Circling back on that, we're actually booked

28
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.879
by Matt our guitarist, and so we did everything ourselves.

29
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.920
Sick New World was our first festival, and that came

30
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.239
about through a DM from the festival itself asking if

31
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:37.359
we'd like to play.

32
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:38.599
That's pretty freaking cool.

33
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.040
Yes, And these three festivals that we have this year

34
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.000
have been because of our agents and we're super super

35
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:47.159
grateful for them.

36
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.319
Well, that's pretty good. Because you've come to the pinnacle

37
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.640
the Danny Wemmer festivals. You'll probably end up at all

38
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:54.840
of on at some point.

39
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:56.840
Now crossing our fingers.

40
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.920
Yes, So what do you think it is? Festival A

41
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.879
from what's out there, but be how Danny Wimmer treats

42
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:06.680
you as an artist.

43
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:11.039
Oh my goodness. We feel like we're guests in a home.

44
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.560
We feel so welcome. It's just it's so well organized.

45
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.159
I was telling Anthony about this, We were having a

46
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:22.000
conversation earlier just outside about how I really have a

47
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.319
deep respect and appreciation for just everyone who makes things

48
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.719
like this possible. Just the fact that I see them

49
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.199
all working so hard and there's so many moving things,

50
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.360
like all the time. It's really impressive, and like.

51
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.800
You know what, I've always I've never heard anything bad

52
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.879
in sixteen years of doing their festivals than ours had

53
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:45.639
to say. And one of the things I always hear

54
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.960
is like, no matter who you are, whether you're Slayer

55
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.560
or Bring Me to Horizon or the first band of

56
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.240
the day, you're treated the same.

57
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.039
Right. I love that about them. I just I think

58
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.719
it makes almost it's the performance better because it's like

59
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.520
you're being treated like you belong here, and I feel

60
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:05.479
like every artist does.

61
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.840
That's a key what you said, It makes the performance better,

62
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.840
and especially too, like a lot of festivals, as you

63
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.400
well know, like you can have problems with sound check,

64
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.199
you you can have problems with load in, and that

65
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.560
just is too much stress before you're getting up to perform,

66
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.319
Like you gotta be in the right mindset. So when

67
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.680
it's easy and smooth like that, it makes it so

68
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.599
much easier for you to perform.

69
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.080
Right right, Yeah, I think not a lot of people

70
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:39.199
know exactly what goes into making shows possible, much less festivals,

71
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.159
and so it just it really is so helpful. We

72
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.159
got it pretty early this morning, like five am, and

73
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:50.719
it's just like it's a constant always moving for these things.

74
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.680
So Donnie, when we're fucking killed it, I love it.

75
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.039
Yeah, because people don't realize what goes into say look

76
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.599
at you, and they're like, oh, you're living the dream

77
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.759
life because they just see what they see. They don't

78
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.240
see what goes on behind the scenes, and how much

79
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.639
work you put into this, and how much you don't

80
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.520
get sleep. You don't even get any kind of luxuries.

81
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.319
You know, you're going on the road. It's a lot

82
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.720
of work. This is just the bonus result. It's not

83
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:22.680
the whole.

84
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.199
Thing exactly that right there. People don't know that. It's

85
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.240
like there's nights where we've had to like go from

86
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.519
show to and we couldn't even like sleep at a hotel,

87
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.439
like we had to get going to the next city,

88
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.000
and like everyone is just like blinking, like on the

89
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.079
verge of like collapse. Right we take turns, you know,

90
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.720
well I don't. I'm not a very good driver, So.

91
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.759
You might not make it to the louder in life

92
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.199
if you were the one driving.

93
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:54.480
Oh we would, we would. Yeah, we would be a

94
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.160
few days late and the best possible scenario, the worst,

95
00:04:58.279 --> 00:04:59.639
we'd be playing a show in heaven.

96
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.399
Right. We don't want that.

97
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.680
No, maybe one day I'll drive a semi truck. You know,

98
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.920
I'll get that good there. Yeah, I have faith.

99
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.439
Well, by the time you get to that point, you'll

100
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.839
have a semi for your shows and you won't have

101
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:16.600
to drive it.

102
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.040
Yeah, that would be a better solution, right, Yeah, So

103
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.720
all three of you, I want to hear from all

104
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.920
three of you, what was that moment in time that

105
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.879
you knew this is what you had to do.

106
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.360
I'm going to start off with Anthony for this one.

107
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.879
He gives me Anthony Ketus vibes from the original, like

108
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:36.680
in the beginning.

109
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.439
I have heard that before, right, that's not the first

110
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.720
time I've heard, Sure, you have. I would say we

111
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.439
met a little over three years ago and at the

112
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.000
time and that we're in another band and she had

113
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.079
reached out to us to Instagram to like work as

114
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.560
live members, and we did a tour together with both

115
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.600
of those bands. But there was a show that we

116
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.319
played in Houston and it was the second show we

117
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.519
ever play as a band, and we just like went

118
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.399
in there and the people were fair. They were climbing

119
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.560
this like giant pole in the middle and just just screaming.

120
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.079
They're going crazy, and I was just like that day.

121
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:16.160
I was just like, this feels so like powerful and

122
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.720
so like awesome, and everybody loves the music so much,

123
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.879
and I like, I just at that point just started

124
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:22.800
playing with her. But I was like, I know this

125
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:24.800
is gonna be right. Like that day, it just like

126
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.399
kind of set in for me, and I haven't looked

127
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:27.920
another way.

128
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.680
Really, I love it. And when she first contacted you,

129
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.480
what is it to prompt you to say, oh, yeah,

130
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:35.360
I want to do that.

131
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:36.560
I reached out.

132
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.480
We did a couple of rehearsals, and then we continued

133
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.839
staying in the band and for a while just live.

134
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.480
And I would say that that second show in Houston

135
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.560
was really good, and I'm really grateful to be a

136
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.160
part of this project. It's been amazing and everyone is

137
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.480
like really close to me and it's been great. But

138
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.800
I would say like personally, I never really thought of

139
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.439
doing anything else. It's always there's never really been like

140
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.680
a question. But with this span, like probably around that same.

141
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:08.199
Time, there you go, yes, definitely one more time. What

142
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:08.879
was the question?

143
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.959
What was that one moment in time that you knew

144
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.720
this is what you had to do? And now that

145
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.560
hearing them, I will also want to hear what your

146
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:22.480
vibe was when joining with them and Britain and you

147
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.519
all working together. Yeah.

148
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.240
Absolutely, So I knew I wanted to be a singer.

149
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:32.759
Actually quite young. I remember being like eight years old

150
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.199
and there was a festival going on, but like a

151
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.439
small one. It was kind of like a fair, and

152
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.800
they were doing a talent show and they said that

153
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.040
the grand prize would be like fifty dollars, and so

154
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.680
I got up there and I remember like telling the

155
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.439
crowd to like put their hands in the air, and

156
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.839
I remember that they did, and it felt surreal. I

157
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.160
was like, wow, I ended up winning first place, and

158
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.079
nice fifty dollars for an eight year old, felt like

159
00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.319
I had won like the lotter.

160
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.279
Right, There's a lot you could do at that age

161
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.199
for fifty.

162
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.800
Bucks, right, especially two thousand and eight, that was like no.

163
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.199
Not twenty twenty five. Oh no, fifty bucks probably wouldn't

164
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.240
even it doesn't even pay for parking here, man, Can you.

165
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:17.759
Believe fifty bucks probably could have filled or half filled

166
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.160
a grocery cart back then?

167
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:19.959
Right?

168
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.959
So I just remember feeling like I wanted to do

169
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.759
this forever, And so when I was fifteen, I really

170
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.079
put my focus into it when I was twenty one

171
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.080
or twenty two, actually, I moved to Dallas and that's

172
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.879
when I found Anthony and Matt and they had reached

173
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:39.799
out to me. Matt did, and at first I was

174
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.159
a solo artist and they were backing band. But we

175
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.840
got closer over the years and very grateful to say that.

176
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.600
Now our debut album is on its way and we

177
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.519
wrote it all together and it's absolute magic. We can't

178
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.200
wait for everyone to listen to it.

179
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:58.039
The best thing I love, I love that you just

180
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.039
said is that your rot.

181
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.279
It together we did.

182
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.320
Yeah, that's a true band. Like a lot of times

183
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.679
there's artists that there's one person in the band that

184
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.600
does all the writing. But I think what makes a

185
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.159
great band is where you're all contributing because you have

186
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.360
different things that you bring to the table which would

187
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.799
make your sound unique, opposed to like a lot of

188
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.120
bands I find nowadays, they like have this formula that

189
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.200
you plug in and so you can't really tell the difference.

190
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.399
So unless you have those multiple influences, because I'm sure

191
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.639
all three of you have different things that you bring

192
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.159
to the table in that songwriting process.

193
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.440
I love that you say that because it's so true.

194
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.399
I feel as though when I was writing by myself,

195
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:47.000
I love those songs, but they're truly so small now

196
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.399
compared to the songs that we've written together. I mean,

197
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:51.519
it's just like.

198
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.519
I love like something was missing, right, Yes.

199
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:58.279
Yes, it really does. I don't know. I feel as

200
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.480
though they're there would be no one else in the

201
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.559
entire world who could make this album sound the way

202
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.240
that it does without these two, and I'm forever grateful.

203
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.320
Nice and well you two have to say about the

204
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.480
whole songwriting process.

205
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.440
Just that generally you said it before that like writing

206
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:19.919
things with other people, especially who have the same maybe

207
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.039
not vision, but the same end goal of making like

208
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:27.879
a wonderful experience, and that we were so it's not

209
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.000
like we liked everything. We did the whole way together.

210
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.720
We challenged each other and it was a hour of

211
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.960
attrition and it like it was challenging, and through all

212
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.559
of those things we I don't know, we wrote a

213
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.360
record that I am incredibly, incredibly proud of, and I

214
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.000
don't I just can't wait to put it out.

215
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.559
I'm really really excited love it.

216
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.440
Yeah, the album writing process was great.

217
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.600
We did some of it all in one tripped out

218
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.080
to Houston where from Dallas, So we spent a little

219
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.000
bit writing it, and we also wrote some songs over time.

220
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.600
I'm just out of the spontaneous moment in the rehearsal room,

221
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.440
but out of the writing sessions I've been in, it's

222
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.840
been like the easiest one by far, because we all

223
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.519
see eye to eye on a lot of things musically,

224
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.399
and it's just been a really easy process.

225
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.600
No one like.

226
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.320
You know, writing can be very good or very bad,

227
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.960
and I think it was like for the first one,

228
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.200
it was like surprisingly really successful on how the execution was.

229
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.080
Not that I was expecting anything different, but it feels

230
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.759
good to be validated that it went so well.

231
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.519
I love it. I also tend to think that when

232
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:40.600
different people, like let's say I'm writing something, there's other

233
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.440
people in my band and they're giving feedback. I think

234
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.080
their feedback is the feedback you would get from the

235
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.080
people out there or attending your show, buying your album,

236
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.440
And I think that's the benefit of everybody contribute because

237
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.080
they almost had the other people almost have an objective,

238
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.279
outsider point of view that maybe yourself not seen like,

239
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.159
and that goes true of anything. We don't always see

240
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:08.639
our own stuff or how we are perceived. So it's

241
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.759
always good for somebody else to show that to us.

242
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.000
Exactly. I really like this term for when we're writing,

243
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.399
like cooking, because it really does feel like that, like

244
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.240
we're all so involved and we like taste it. We're like,

245
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:21.519
you know what, it needs a little bit more of

246
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.720
this or ooh, like let's let's increase the heat on this.

247
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:29.360
And it just is analogy. Yeah, sure, that's exactly how it.

248
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.480
Is, and out of it comes something beautiful and we're

249
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.159
just so proud of this dish. We can't wait for

250
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.440
the audience to consume it.

251
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.279
Okay, So tell us more about the new album how

252
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.399
they can get it, and they can also check out

253
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.639
your live shows and what tour dates you have and

254
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:46.519
buy your merch because they can't listen to my show.

255
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:47.519
And let's say, buy your merch.

256
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.840
Thank you for that, y'all hear that? Make note of it?

257
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.879
There it is otherwise they can't get to the next gig.

258
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.039
That's how you get to the next gig nowadays.

259
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.360
And listen. I don't want to brag or anything, but

260
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:06.320
it's really coffee. You're gonna love it. So the concept

261
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:10.000
of the album follows the story of a girl and

262
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:14.679
the hallucination of a ghost that she names Lover, And

263
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:18.480
it's a story about the process of grief and what

264
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:21.320
would happen if we didn't come to the acceptance stage.

265
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.639
It's loosely based on some grief that I experienced in

266
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.039
my personal life. So I just hope that everyone enjoys

267
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.919
it and can take something personal from it and carry

268
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.840
it with them in a positive light.

269
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.320
I love that. And how did I connect to you

270
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.320
guys on socials, on the web and all that good stuff.

271
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:39.720
Yeah?

272
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:44.120
Absolutely, So we're violent, as in the word violent, like rah,

273
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.039
you know, yeah, you.

274
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:47.799
Don't sound very violent right now.

275
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.320
Oh, you know, we just got all our violence out

276
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.879
on stage, so now we're all in mel I love.

277
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.399
That you said that, by the way, because that's what

278
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.960
people don't get about this type of music is we're

279
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.519
we're violent on stage or in the pit, so we're

280
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.279
not violent in the outside world exactly.

281
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:08.679
We were just talking about that how metal heads and

282
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.240
like hardcore people and just like emo and punk and

283
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:17.200
all sorts of our alternative individuals in the scene. I

284
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:21.039
think we're some of the most sincere and isist people around.

285
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.960
It's so true. Yeah, like a big family, right.

286
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.159
Like, who else is gonna shove you and then pick

287
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.799
you back up?

288
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:28.360
Right?

289
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.279
Exactly. It's funny because you'll appreciate this story. One one year,

290
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.360
I had to do two festivals in one weekend. Obviously

291
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.240
I can't do that, so sending somebody at work for me,

292
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.840
I'm like, you're gonna cover this festival. She had never

293
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.000
been to a rock festival or a rock show ever.

294
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.799
She was a country girl. Okay wow, And so the

295
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.080
way I explained that to her was, listen, it's not

296
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.600
like your country shows where a bunch of rednecks are

297
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.960
getting drunk and game into fights. De Mashpit is not

298
00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.600
about that.

299
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.879
Looks like it from an outside perspective, but it's not.

300
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.960
We're one big family. You're gonna go to this thing

301
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.320
and you're gonna be and this is so relevant to

302
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.399
this Louder than life. I'm like, you're gonna make all

303
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:19.120
new friends. You'll probably like meet some guy, and and

304
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:23.279
you're gonna probably see that we are the nicest people

305
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.440
and that there'll be no fights. You think there is

306
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:30.320
because of amash bit, but that's not what it's about.

307
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:32.840
And you'll have the best time of your life.

308
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.039
It's all love exactly.

309
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:38.639
She comes back after the weekend. Oh my god, you

310
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:42.039
are so right. I have all these new friends. I

311
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.440
now have a boyfriend. In fact, the quote she said,

312
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.159
I bagged him and that now he's my boyfriend.

313
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.120
Oh romance. See that's beautiful right there.

314
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.240
Right, And then she goes, and I have this new

315
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.759
favorite band. I don't know if you know them, but

316
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.039
they're called Bring Me the Horizon.

317
00:15:59.279 --> 00:15:59.960
Just underground.

318
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:02.519
I'm like, yeah, I think I know who they are.

319
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.679
And that's why it's relative to latter in life because

320
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:11.440
they're headlining Sunday Night and I'm stoked absolutely because they're

321
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.919
one of my favorite And talk about songwriting, I think

322
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:19.799
Olie is one of the best songwriters ever. Next to you.

323
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:24.200
Oh shucks. Well, actually, Matt over here loves Bring Me

324
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.240
the Horizon. It's one of his biggest inspirations.

325
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:28.759
I think Anthony too. But yes, I love Bring Me

326
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:29.200
the Horizon.

327
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.720
Yes, I do love them. I went to work tour.

328
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.200
It is either twenty eleven or twenty twelve. I was

329
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:39.600
like fifteen sixteen and they had just put out Superjournal. Yeah,

330
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:43.519
and I had never experienced like metalcore, Like is any

331
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:45.799
music like that at all? And they walked out on

332
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:47.480
the stage and they started to play antivists and he

333
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.120
was like middle fingers up and like, I just shot

334
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:51.399
straight up in the air and I was like, this

335
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:51.919
is history.

336
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:52.320
From there.

337
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.120
I'll tell you what to my favorite lyric of any

338
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.120
song ever in history. He's my favorite lyricist. But my

339
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.039
favorite lyric is it on that album and can you

340
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.319
feel my Heart? Where he says I can't drown my demons.

341
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:08.680
They know how to swim. And I'm like, this is

342
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.440
the most brilliant shit ever, and I relate to that.

343
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.640
His pen was on fire when he was writing that down.

344
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.839
And he was actually in rehab when he wrote that song.

345
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.039
I heard, actually, yeah, briefly, that's It's really incredible how

346
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.160
he was able to transform that difficult period of his

347
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.000
life into something so beautiful.

348
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.000
That's what music is, though, it's to me, it's the

349
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.240
best therapy there is, both for you, the artists cathartic

350
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.319
get that shit out of you, and for us the

351
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.559
listeners to relate to it. And like, like I listened

352
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.279
to that song and thrown and both of them are

353
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:47.559
like me one hundred percent, and I'm like, wow, has

354
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.920
he known me so well that is the key to

355
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.519
a good song. It's where you put your meaning to

356
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.519
it and other people put their own meaning to it.

357
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.119
And I think that's what you do, and that's what

358
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:01.960
you're gonna do with this new album. Oh for people.

359
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.799
Last track especially, can't wait for that one. I feel

360
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.400
like it's going to connect to a lot of people.

361
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.720
I love it. Any final words you want to tell

362
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.799
