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.

1
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:07.599
Hey you luntore censure.

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.560
For se wow crazy you.

3
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.039
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

4
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.160
Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here.

5
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.199
With Michael and Hans from Woe Is Me?

6
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:30.320
Woe Is Me?

7
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.640
I love that name and so good, but I love

8
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:40.039
that it has a comma mm hmm, so it's like whoa, it's.

9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.399
Me exactly, So it's kind of funny. We've gone back

10
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.840
and forth with using it, and I guess it's not

11
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.359
technically grammatically correct.

12
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.399
But unless you're Whoa, you're talking about Whoa exactly exactly.

13
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.320
So we've always gone back and forth like do we

14
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.039
use it? We keep it? And from the we're just like,

15
00:00:58.200 --> 00:00:59.000
you know what, just keep it.

16
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.560
I think you should keep it because I think people

17
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.400
it does make people wonder are you saying woe is Me?

18
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.480
Or you say Whoa's me?

19
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:08.879
At least it's a conversation piece, right.

20
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:09.840
Yeah.

21
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.280
I also have to say too that I'm not a

22
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.840
huge gauge person, but yours are fucking badass.

23
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.680
Thank you. I appreciate it. I actually got them from

24
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:20.959
the girl in Ukraine. Really she made them.

25
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.319
She made me three different pairs and they're called kraaking

26
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.799
it's called creaking jewelry. I believe I help, I'm saying

27
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.480
that right, But yeah, she does great work, really cool,

28
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.599
so cool, Thank you.

29
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:31.239
I appreciate it.

30
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.680
They're so different than most of them out there.

31
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.480
Yeah, yeah, they do really cool stuff.

32
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.200
They'll like she'll grab stuff from like nature and like

33
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.200
put it in the acrylic and everything and mold it

34
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:40.640
into it.

35
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.159
So yeah, awesome work.

36
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:42.840
That's cool.

37
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.200
How long did it take you to get it to

38
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.000
fit those to this size?

39
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.599
And maybe what like a year and a half or so,

40
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:54.760
I'd say like a year and a half. But I've

41
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.000
had them done for years since I was like eighteen,

42
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:58.719
so I'm thirty seven now.

43
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.879
So so in a minute.

44
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.159
My ex son in law he had gauges and he

45
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.760
went into the army, so you know what he had

46
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.280
to do, right, So he just I don't know why

47
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.199
he did, but he did some painful, stupid shit to

48
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:14.759
get them to go back together.

49
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:17.599
Like it was torture.

50
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.280
I could tell you, yeah, I know, because I know

51
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.240
that you can when when you get him sown, they

52
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.360
have to cut the lobe and then reattach it and

53
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:26.919
sew it.

54
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:28.560
Oh he did it all diy.

55
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.840
Oh even better.

56
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.199
He was like just damaging it enough so it would

57
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.560
heel back together. Wasn't as big as yours or yours,

58
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.479
but like what you had to do, I'm like, fuck that. Yeah,

59
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.960
somebody else could join the army exactly. I didn't even

60
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.280
want to cut my hair to join the army, so

61
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.080
I didn't join the army. But I could imagine doing that.

62
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.400
Torture yourself just to get tortured.

63
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.439
Yeah, that'd be rough.

64
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.000
So how was it here at Louder than Life? So far?

65
00:02:59.439 --> 00:02:59.800
Awesome?

66
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.400
Been really great. Just the way it's been ran. Everything

67
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.199
has been really really cool. We're really grateful to be

68
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.199
able to play it, and everything is our first time

69
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.000
playing it. We've done a couple other of the bigger

70
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.599
festivals like Incarceration stuff like that, and it's really cool

71
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.599
because I've seen so many videos over the last couple

72
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:17.840
of years and I'm like, I want to play that

73
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:18.800
and then we're here.

74
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.680
We are better this year because it used to be

75
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.319
on the other side of this building, uh huh. And

76
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.919
it was like the festival dust here was serious, like

77
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.159
I do all the festivals. I was like, I dreaded

78
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.280
every year coming here because I wouldn't be able to

79
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.879
breathe for like a month afterwards, cough up rocks and shit.

80
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.520
So I love that it's on this side with the

81
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:43.719
asphalt and the fake grass.

82
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.560
Yeah, it's so good. No festival does.

83
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:49.439
Yeah no.

84
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.520
And it's just like they even put two new stages

85
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.479
one that you played on, right, and like I didn't.

86
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.599
I did the festival that was here this week. I

87
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.319
didn't even know your stage existed till like yesterday. Yeah,

88
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.840
because I was used to the layout last week where

89
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.159
that wasn't there. Oh wow, there were five stages last week.

90
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:11.479
Now it's seven stages.

91
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:11.840
Yeah.

92
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.080
Yeah, there's even one in the musement park.

93
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.759
There's like a barn, like a barn stage or something.

94
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.199
Oh there's that too. That one doesn't count as one

95
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.000
of the seventh stretch. Thing that's just an added fun.

96
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.279
Oh okay, that works.

97
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.680
But the thing about I just found out today the

98
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.040
one in Sunday Amusement Park and only has like a

99
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.079
five hundred limit.

100
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:34.920
Oh wow, I think five.

101
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.000
Hundred people is like the people that show up before gates.

102
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:40.720
It'eah more than five hundred people.

103
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.399
Yeah, the whole staff and everything.

104
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.920
Like does it blow your mind that you come to

105
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.639
a festival like this on a Saturday after baby's been

106
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.920
doing whatever they've been doing on Friday night and they're

107
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:53.480
here that.

108
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.800
Early for a set. Yeah, it's huge crowds.

109
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:57.519
It's wild.

110
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.839
Yeah, like because you always worried, like because we want

111
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.759
to We went on at twelve thirty, and we're always like,

112
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.279
I hope that we have a crowd. And then you

113
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.560
walked out and you see your go wow, all right,

114
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.480
cool because they got their breakfast early.

115
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:09.800
So I know what's awesome.

116
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.879
Well, it's funny. When I found that stage what was

117
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.519
it yesterday? I think I was like, holy shit, that's

118
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.519
a lot of people I gotta walked through to get

119
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.279
up front. Yeah, and I didn't expect it.

120
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.160
It's awesome. Yeah, Like I said, you're always kind of worried.

121
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:25.680
You're like, I hope people show up. I hope people

122
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.759
get here early. And also it's another thing with like

123
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.879
the gates, when they open up the gates and you

124
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.279
hope that they get everybody in by the time you

125
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:33.600
go on, and it looks like they did.

126
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.959
Like it's just smooth. You don't know why I was

127
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:37.839
gonna say. Sorry.

128
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.959
The one thing too, is we didn't play against anybody

129
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.519
like close to our stage right, it's great.

130
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.600
So it was kind of like a bottleneck once.

131
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.360
Once Kate's open, we're the only band playing, and so

132
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:50.720
I think that helped a little.

133
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:51.480
Bit either way.

134
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.959
Man Like, it was crazy to look out there and

135
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:56.720
see like we're the first band on our stage and

136
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.519
there's a lot of people and we're so grateful for that.

137
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.160
It was nice.

138
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.560
You know why they were smartness year they opened gates

139
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.279
at ten. Yeah, so people have time to get in

140
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.279
and not miss that first band because like a lot

141
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.040
of times usually it's like you're still standing online when

142
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.120
that first band is playing, trying to get in, right.

143
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.279
So that was brilliant to day and Wimmer.

144
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.800
I always ask all the urs been doing the his

145
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.480
festivals for sixteen years, how does Danny Wimmer treat you

146
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:26.120
as an artist?

147
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.600
Oh, dude, unlike any other festival we've ever been a

148
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.600
part of. You can tell that not only does he

149
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.000
care about the fan experience, but like Danny Wimmer cares

150
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.079
about the artists as well, very well taken care of.

151
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.439
Yeah, the guy's a legend in any time. I've never

152
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:42.879
had the chance to meet him. I would love to

153
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.040
meet him one day. But like anytime you bring up

154
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.279
Danny Wimmer. It's always good things set right, It's always

155
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:48.879
good things.

156
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.240
And I've never heard of our say anything bad. And

157
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.759
I do festivals all over to US, UK and Europe

158
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.839
and that's not the case at other festivals.

159
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:56.519
Yeah.

160
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.560
And the best part about it is he makes your

161
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.000
job so much easier because nothing sucks more than to

162
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.040
be stressed out from loading and sound check before you

163
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.600
have to perform, right, you know, so you get the

164
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.360
nice stress free get up there and give it your all.

165
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:12.920
Yeah.

166
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.519
So I have a funny question for you. Okay, how

167
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.720
many times have people thought that was real on your finger?

168
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:20.480
Oh?

169
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.800
The spider? Yes, I don't know if I've ever gotten it.

170
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.839
Be funny if somebody came up to you and like

171
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.000
my finger, like wiped it. Ye.

172
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:29.879
Hey man, hey man, you got a spider on you.

173
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.040
That would be pretty funny if that's the first thing

174
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.680
I thought of him, Like, I could totally see somebody

175
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:35.240
doing that.

176
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.480
Yeah, so I'm sure it's bound to happen.

177
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.040
How would you describe your music to people without using

178
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.680
the genre you as the artist?

179
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.079
How you see your music feel good?

180
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.399
Kind of like a rollercoaster in a way. So we

181
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.079
have this thing, our guitarist Kevin. He loves the way

182
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.480
he writes. He loves this.

183
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.199
The core progressions that he does are like we call

184
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.319
him like pretty pretty sad. They're pretty, but they're really pretty,

185
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.519
so you're like, you feel that emotion, but it's also

186
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:04.600
sad at the same time.

187
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.680
I don't know how to explain it, but like we

188
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:07.680
want courses.

189
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.199
We want our courses them to feel the chorus and

190
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:11.839
get something out of it, but we want it to

191
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:12.759
still be uplifting.

192
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.920
So it's a cool way that we try to blend that.

193
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.560
I don't know. The way Kevin writes his guitar parts.

194
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.040
It just sets you up vocally to do that, and

195
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.040
we just call it like pretty happier.

196
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:23.920
I love it, or something like that, I love it,

197
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:24.480
so to go.

198
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.040
Yeah, so we've got the pretty sad straight back into

199
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.759
like aggressive in your face and then right back to it.

200
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:33.000
That's kind of our thing.

201
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:34.639
Yeah, that's cool.

202
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.799
I love it because I think too much music nowadays

203
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.000
is shortened, so you don't get that full sensory experience exactly.

204
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:45.679
People have such a short attention span that some of

205
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:47.679
my favorite songs nowadays would.

206
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.039
Never become popular.

207
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.759
Yeah, think of a song like Battery, which is one

208
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.759
of the best metallical songs ever. But if you only

209
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.240
listen to the first ten seconds, you're gonna click track

210
00:08:58.279 --> 00:08:59.399
to the next track.

211
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.159
Right right, you know, or like accept fast as a shark.

212
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.480
People be like what the fuck is this and they

213
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.960
don't even hear what it is a few seconds later.

214
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.399
Yeah, the whole tone like theme of like instant gratification.

215
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.879
Everyone's attention spans are so short now. It's like we

216
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.039
need more, we need more, we need more, quick, quick, quick,

217
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:18.840
Like you put.

218
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.720
An album out now and you're lucky.

219
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.360
If you tour on it for a year before people

220
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:23.840
are like, where's the next music?

221
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:24.279
Right?

222
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.120
What's next?

223
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.320
Right? And it's like, damn, I think they're missing.

224
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.879
Also that full experience, like I remember being a kid

225
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.320
and get an album and you put your headphones on,

226
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.720
you listen to a whole album from end to end

227
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.840
and read the lyrics, look at the art work.

228
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.200
It was a full sensory experience.

229
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.200
Yeah, yeah, exactly, Like that's I loved getting an album

230
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:51.840
diving into the artwork and the art work literally goes

231
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:52.679
hand in hand.

232
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.600
And tell us the story, tells the story, it sets.

233
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:55.480
It up like it's great.

234
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.879
So I always love doing that, and I always loved

235
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.600
looking even like this might sound lame, but like I

236
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.039
loved looking at like who their endorsements were, like what

237
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.279
gear they used, because they'd always say like we were

238
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.600
probably endorsed by like right. I was always look at

239
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.000
their gear, what they used, what they wear, all these things,

240
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:13.279
and I'll look at it and be like, oh, I

241
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.679
want to I need to go check them out. And

242
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.799
who is this, what's this brand? What's this guitar that

243
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:20.919
they used? So that's another thing that it was cool.

244
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.399
Always in like CD booklets that you would flip and

245
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:26.120
turn and see who their endorsements were, but also reading

246
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:29.480
the lyrics, like diving into what they were thinking.

247
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.639
Especially you know, like how many times do people sing

248
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.840
the wrong lyrics that aren't the lyrics?

249
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:35.399
Songs?

250
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:36.320
So often?

251
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:36.840
Right?

252
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:38.399
Quite often?

253
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:38.799
Right?

254
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.919
So if you read that, my kids are always like, Dad,

255
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.320
how do you know the lyrics to every song.

256
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:45.120
That comes on the radio.

257
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.399
That's how I sat there and listened over and over again,

258
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.480
reading the lyrics, memorizing the lyrics.

259
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:52.639
Like I was still one singing it.

260
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.720
Yeah, and even with bands that there's bands that I

261
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.440
didn't like to. I listened to your album like five

262
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:03.080
times unpopular opinion, but one of my favorite albums of

263
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.720
all time Back in Black. I hated it the first

264
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.799
time I listened to it, But you know when in

265
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:14.879
that generation, you bought your album, your CD, your cassette tape,

266
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.679
whatever you bought, so you had to get your money's worth.

267
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.320
So I'm like, fuck this, I'm gonna keep listening to it,

268
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.000
and then it grows on you.

269
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.080
Why of my favorite music grew on me? It wasn't instantaneous.

270
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.559
Yeah, I feel like there's so many bands like that,

271
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.799
especially even nowadays, like bands that like you'll see bands

272
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:33.679
that so many people are like like like you have

273
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.840
to check this out, and they're doing crazy numbers and

274
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:37.919
I'm like, I just don't get it. And then give

275
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.480
it six months and I'm like get it now, Like okay,

276
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.840
it's right. So but it's also like the mindset you

277
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.720
have going into it. If you're just like, oh, well,

278
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.960
this band's popular, if you have that negative mindset like

279
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.000
this band's popular just they're just some pop thing. But

280
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.039
like if you actually dive in and you go, okay, well,

281
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.360
maybe there's a reason why they're this.

282
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.879
Big, right, you know, And to your point, it's like,

283
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.279
you have this preconceived notion, which is why I never

284
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:02.200
listened to anybody.

285
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.559
If somebody comes up to me, oh yeah that bad.

286
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:08.159
Blah blah blah, I want to decide for myself, right,

287
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.759
Why have that preconceived.

288
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.240
Notion going ahead of time?

289
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:11.840
Exactly?

290
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.320
You may it may be your favorite band where somebody

291
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:18.840
else is not. You never know. So how do people

292
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.480
reach out to their new favorite band? Woe is Me?

293
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:27.120
And check out your website, your socials, by your merge,

294
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.200
check out tour dates, music all that.

295
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.440
So we just dropped a new album called Daybreak.

296
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.000
It's available on all platforms, all streaming platforms. You can

297
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:40.120
catch us sid Instagram. I think we're on TikTok now

298
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:42.120
at what was what was me?

299
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:43.120
Sorry? Yeah?

300
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.559
Yeah we got that updated. I was sick.

301
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:46.200
Very good.

302
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.399
Yeah, we just put out the new album. We're really excited.

303
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.639
Have a show we're playing or actually playing Atlanta tomorrow

304
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.200
with Bustfall and everything, so that'll be cool. And then

305
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.799
we're hoping to be playing more shows for the play

306
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:56.960
this album out for people.

307
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:57.679
So nice.

308
00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.600
Yeah, and how's this album?

309
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.919
Do you feel? How this album is compared to anything

310
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:04.600
you've done.

311
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.600
Before this one? So when we jumped into this album,

312
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.399
we were nervous. We had a ten year hiatus. We

313
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.480
came back and we go, okay, well, what do we

314
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.120
want to do, Like how do we want to sound?

315
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.960
Obviously like we got to appeal to the fans in

316
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.120
a little bit, but like, we also want to make

317
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.720
music that we love. We enjoy it where we're at,

318
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:21.799
we're not the same people.

319
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:23.159
We don't like it either.

320
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:24.720
You don't do it exactly.

321
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.440
So, like we wanted to try to meet in the middle,

322
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.720
so we tried to do that, and this one we

323
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.039
have a little bit more of a We're from Georgia,

324
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.360
so we grew up in like a like we grew

325
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.360
up on country a little bit, so we incorporated that

326
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.960
a little bit. But we also wanted to appeal to

327
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.960
the old fans, so we try to meet in the middle.

328
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:44.399
But I think we I think it was a little

329
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.559
scary coming back.

330
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.639
It's tough after a ten year hiatus because it's like,

331
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.519
you know, why, I just do exactly what you were

332
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.039
doing before, right, But in the same token, you have

333
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.759
to be fearful of doing something too drastically different. So

334
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.039
it's a fine line to walk, right.

335
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:03.399
And it's cool.

336
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.279
We actually released three singles right when we came back

337
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.679
to kind of like test the waters a little bit,

338
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.159
get our feet wet again, and then we just doven

339
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.679
ended up just diving into an album. We signed a

340
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:17.480
new deal with SBG Records and they've been great, so

341
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:18.399
we're excited.

342
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:19.360
So I love it.

343
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.559
I think just to touch on the album like a

344
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.320
little bit more, I think it is kind of like

345
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:27.759
the perfect walking that line between making sure we do

346
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.120
cater to the people that have supported us for a

347
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.600
long time, but also showed them like, hey, there's this

348
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.639
whole other side to us.

349
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.840
See you guys don't even know about because we've been

350
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.960
gone for so long. And it wasn't like we were

351
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:40.679
trying to create a certain sound.

352
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:42.919
It just it was what came naturally to us in

353
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.279
the studio and like when we.

354
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.080
Were writing and stuff.

355
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.879
But I think the album.

356
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.559
Balances pretty well what we know our fans expect from us,

357
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.000
nice and kind of.

358
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.000
Like what we wanted to do as well.

359
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.080
And how are the old school fans? I excited are

360
00:14:58.120 --> 00:14:59.120
they that you're back.

361
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.879
I think they're excited. They're really stoked.

362
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.279
And it has like, you know, there have been the

363
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.200
people that are like, hey, I wish you sounded like

364
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.799
you did fifteen years ago, and I'm like, okay, I

365
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.279
get it. That's fair, that's understandable. But we're in our

366
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.879
mid thirties now and we're completely different people. When our

367
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:17.080
first album came out, two of theirs were still in

368
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.919
high school, right, So it's like, we're just not those

369
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:20.600
people anymore.

370
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:21.320
But we get it.

371
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.360
But that's why we wanted to do songs on the

372
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:26.240
album that are for you, and we did that and

373
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:26.919
so they are.

374
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:28.200
It is cool to see.

375
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:30.080
One thing is cool is when you do drop a

376
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.840
new album is to see which songs people latch onto

377
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.000
because you always go in, you go, I think they're

378
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:36.519
gonna like this one the best, I think, right, and

379
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.120
then they come out and it's never the one that

380
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:38.519
you think.

381
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:43.080
Usually the one you like the least exactly exactly. Yeah,

382
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:43.960
it's like, but they do.

383
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.399
Sometimes people were like, oh, that was the best serve

384
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.559
you ever in my head, I'm like, I fucking sucked.

385
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:53.879
We're our own worst critic anyway. But it's always good

386
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:55.879
to get that outside point of view.

387
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.120
Absolutely, you still.

388
00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.840
Want to be true yourself as yours, but that outside

389
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.360
of a point of view gets you to stop and think, yeah,

390
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.679
and you just never know what that could do for you.

391
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.039
Because you want to somewhat take it with a grain

392
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.279
of salt, but you still want to listen. You still

393
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.679
sometimes people have made great points. Yeah, you can't just

394
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.320
brush that off totally totally.

395
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:22.840
So last question is, well, it's my question, it's a request, Okay.

396
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:25.080
So I was here at Bourbon Beyond last week, and

397
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.519
since you mentioned Georgia and you mentioned country, and I

398
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:35.840
think of bluegrass as Georgia, I would like to see

399
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:40.159
you guys make a song and make it metal with

400
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.000
banjo and fiddle in it.

401
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:45.679
Well, we got a little bit of that on the album.

402
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.120
So I actually saw a guy who was playing banjo

403
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:50.600
the other day and he was playing it over some

404
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.039
metal tracks and I almost I need to reach out

405
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:54.639
to him. I should have reached out to him, because

406
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.200
it would be cool to have him actually we come

407
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.360
to the studio and like play and incorporate that with us,

408
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:01.759
So that'd be cool.

409
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.359
Nobody thinks of that, but I think of banjo it's

410
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.240
pretty metal because people have played a banjo. It's soul

411
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.599
fast like, so you can pay a killer metal song

412
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:12.359
with a banjo.

413
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:13.000
Mm hmm.

414
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.960
Absolutely I agree we should get a banjo player.

415
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:16.839
There it is.

416
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:19.440
