1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,833
welcome to the Slave Society
2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,200
hi everyone
3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,700
welcome back to Caliber TV
4
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:14,866
I'm Yasmin here with love from while she sleeps Laz
5
00:00:14,866 --> 00:00:16,299
you're here talking about your new album
6
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:17,133
Sleep Society
7
00:00:17,133 --> 00:00:18,133
lot of visuals
8
00:00:18,133 --> 00:00:19,199
like music videos
9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,400
I know for nervous
10
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:20,766
you did like
11
00:00:20,766 --> 00:00:23,933
a little interview series on your Instagram on reels
12
00:00:23,933 --> 00:00:25,933
we talked about the song and the meaning behind it
13
00:00:25,933 --> 00:00:27,633
I wondered going into this
14
00:00:27,666 --> 00:00:30,199
did you think it was gonna be an audio visual project
15
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,166
or is that kind of something that happened after
16
00:00:32,166 --> 00:00:32,866
I guess that
17
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:34,899
that's kind of the modern world now
18
00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:36,033
you know it like
19
00:00:36,933 --> 00:00:37,866
you back in the day
20
00:00:37,866 --> 00:00:39,199
you just release a single
21
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,533
you know it didn't necessarily have to
22
00:00:40,533 --> 00:00:41,666
have a video attached to it
23
00:00:41,666 --> 00:00:42,866
but it's everything like
24
00:00:42,866 --> 00:00:44,299
is so online now
25
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:45,900
and that's just the way things are so yeah
26
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:47,533
it's always important for us to have a strong
27
00:00:47,533 --> 00:00:49,999
roll out plan in regards to
28
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:52,066
sort of videos and singles
29
00:00:52,066 --> 00:00:53,966
and what we're gonna do surrounding that record
30
00:00:53,966 --> 00:00:55,666
I think for the latest release
31
00:00:55,666 --> 00:00:56,766
nervous in particular
32
00:00:56,766 --> 00:01:00,599
it was very important for us to approach this
33
00:01:01,066 --> 00:01:02,199
sort of sensitively
34
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,666
but also we wanted it to be a very powerful
35
00:01:05,666 --> 00:01:06,799
strong message
36
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,966
so there's always to be a lot of focus around this song
37
00:01:08,966 --> 00:01:09,866
in particular
38
00:01:09,866 --> 00:01:10,899
yeah it was important
39
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:12,700
for us to have a strong campaign behind it
40
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:14,100
and like I said we we just
41
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:15,366
the message is so important we
42
00:01:15,366 --> 00:01:17,099
we hold it close to our hearts
43
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:17,600
kind of thing
44
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,366
in terms of what we've all been through in the past and
45
00:01:20,366 --> 00:01:23,033
and sort of bringing that to the forefront of this song
46
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:25,900
um so yeah crazyly important for us to
47
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:28,400
to have a campaign surrounding it that
48
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,700
that was yeah
49
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:31,066
visually uh
50
00:01:31,066 --> 00:01:32,333
important you know
51
00:01:32,333 --> 00:01:33,966
and um yeah
52
00:01:33,966 --> 00:01:35,266
that went alongside the message
53
00:01:35,266 --> 00:01:36,199
I guess hmm
54
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:36,733
you're right
55
00:01:36,733 --> 00:01:37,933
insensive like
56
00:01:37,933 --> 00:01:39,199
you have to think about everything now
57
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,066
when you release a song
58
00:01:40,066 --> 00:01:40,699
you gotta think about
59
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:42,533
how you gonna make a trend on TikTok
60
00:01:42,533 --> 00:01:43,699
you gonna do a dance
61
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,500
if 14 year old somewhere in the world gonna like it
62
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:47,866
just do a floss on TikTok
63
00:01:47,866 --> 00:01:49,766
to promote the new ha ha
64
00:01:50,133 --> 00:01:52,966
flossing to the new song yeah um
65
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,733
speaking of the new record though
66
00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:56,099
you release it in April
67
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:57,500
uh Sleep Society
68
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,166
uh as well as your fan oriented platform
69
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:02,199
that's gonna offer like
70
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:02,966
a tear system
71
00:02:02,966 --> 00:02:03,566
it's already out
72
00:02:03,566 --> 00:02:04,933
it offers a tear system
73
00:02:04,933 --> 00:02:06,066
where people can like
74
00:02:06,066 --> 00:02:07,966
pay certain prices and get exclusive content
75
00:02:07,966 --> 00:02:11,099
like unreleased demos or tutorials and stuff
76
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:13,766
we're just being able to engage with you guys
77
00:02:13,766 --> 00:02:15,366
um I imagine like
78
00:02:15,366 --> 00:02:16,999
before you launch this
79
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,100
not being able to engage with your fans
80
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:19,966
must have sucked like
81
00:02:19,966 --> 00:02:20,499
cause usually
82
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:21,366
you go on tour
83
00:02:21,366 --> 00:02:22,466
you see them singing along
84
00:02:22,466 --> 00:02:23,733
you get to see that everyday
85
00:02:23,733 --> 00:02:25,666
going from something so extreme
86
00:02:25,666 --> 00:02:26,799
to nothing at all
87
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,066
was probably really shit
88
00:02:28,066 --> 00:02:31,233
so I imagine this is an exciting new adventure for you
89
00:02:31,766 --> 00:02:33,333
yeah well I mean like
90
00:02:33,333 --> 00:02:35,266
in terms of um
91
00:02:35,266 --> 00:02:36,899
our schedules and stuff like that
92
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:37,900
you say not been able to like
93
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:39,600
interact with fans like we
94
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:42,433
we cut an American tour short um
95
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:44,700
by about five or six shows
96
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:46,333
and that was California Vegas
97
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:46,966
so that sucked
98
00:02:46,966 --> 00:02:50,066
cause it was gonna be probably the best time um
99
00:02:50,066 --> 00:02:51,833
and the weather was gonna be a bit better
100
00:02:51,866 --> 00:02:53,499
but like like I said earlier
101
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:54,733
it must really suck for anyone
102
00:02:54,733 --> 00:02:56,499
that's tried to release a record in this time
103
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:57,366
and not been able to tour it
104
00:02:57,366 --> 00:02:58,699
and up to this point
105
00:02:58,700 --> 00:02:59,733
we've been very lucky
106
00:02:59,733 --> 00:03:01,866
in the way that um
107
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:05,233
our our schedules kind of fallen in the right place we
108
00:03:05,366 --> 00:03:06,866
but off the back end of the tour
109
00:03:06,866 --> 00:03:08,333
we kinda cancelled a couple of days
110
00:03:08,333 --> 00:03:09,699
and we were scheduled to be home
111
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:10,333
and write in
112
00:03:10,333 --> 00:03:11,533
and in the studio anyway
113
00:03:11,533 --> 00:03:13,099
so other than sort of
114
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:13,933
festival cities and
115
00:03:13,933 --> 00:03:15,299
which is always got in we
116
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:17,233
we did have this downtime to write
117
00:03:17,666 --> 00:03:19,199
write the record so yeah
118
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,166
we've released a
119
00:03:21,166 --> 00:03:22,499
basically a Patreon
120
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:23,166
but you know
121
00:03:23,166 --> 00:03:26,066
a lot of people use Patreon as more of a side hustle
122
00:03:26,066 --> 00:03:27,166
whereas we've
123
00:03:27,266 --> 00:03:29,599
brought that to the forefront of our campaign and
124
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,266
and like you say
125
00:03:30,266 --> 00:03:31,299
it's just about
126
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:32,566
you know the music industry
127
00:03:32,566 --> 00:03:34,599
so like up and down at the moment
128
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,266
and it like
129
00:03:35,266 --> 00:03:36,699
the way that we digest our music
130
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:37,533
as music lovers
131
00:03:37,533 --> 00:03:38,666
is completely changed
132
00:03:38,666 --> 00:03:39,199
to how it was
133
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,766
10 to 15 years ago
134
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:41,733
and we personally
135
00:03:41,733 --> 00:03:45,299
feel like the industry hasn't really changed enough to
136
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:46,333
to help sustain that
137
00:03:46,333 --> 00:03:47,699
so yeah it's alright
138
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:48,900
if you're Justin Bieber
139
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:50,300
you know and you've got millions of pounds
140
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:50,733
that's that
141
00:03:50,733 --> 00:03:51,866
that are millions of listeners
142
00:03:51,866 --> 00:03:52,466
that's fine
143
00:03:52,466 --> 00:03:53,699
but like the
144
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:54,366
the reality is that
145
00:03:54,366 --> 00:03:55,566
it's the more underground
146
00:03:55,566 --> 00:03:57,166
punk rock metal
147
00:03:57,366 --> 00:03:58,599
you know pop punk
148
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,500
whatever you wanna call it
149
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:00,700
hardcore bands
150
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,200
they're the bands that are gonna suffer
151
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,500
because the demand is there
152
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:04,266
but they're the sort of
153
00:04:04,266 --> 00:04:05,066
underground
154
00:04:05,066 --> 00:04:05,966
sort of life blood
155
00:04:05,966 --> 00:04:06,933
of this whole scene
156
00:04:06,933 --> 00:04:08,066
and that's where
157
00:04:08,266 --> 00:04:09,466
you see it not
158
00:04:09,533 --> 00:04:10,399
you see the scales
159
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,100
a bit unbalanced
160
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:12,500
in the way that you know
161
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,000
the percentage
162
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,066
just go to different bands
163
00:04:15,066 --> 00:04:15,466
stuff like that
164
00:04:15,466 --> 00:04:16,733
so this whole campaign was about
165
00:04:16,733 --> 00:04:17,499
just outlining
166
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:18,333
some of those issues
167
00:04:18,333 --> 00:04:19,599
we feel that
168
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,966
happening in the music industry
169
00:04:20,966 --> 00:04:22,266
and taking it to our fan base
170
00:04:22,266 --> 00:04:23,099
and being like look
171
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:23,866
the demands there
172
00:04:23,866 --> 00:04:24,966
for us to be this band
173
00:04:24,966 --> 00:04:26,499
but it doesn't always weigh up
174
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,533
so we just tried to explain
175
00:04:28,533 --> 00:04:29,599
to anyone listening
176
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,800
basically that um we
177
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,200
we needed to try
178
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,300
some different things
179
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:36,166
and we need to try and fix
180
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:37,266
an industry
181
00:04:37,266 --> 00:04:37,866
an industry that
182
00:04:37,866 --> 00:04:38,599
we feel like
183
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,733
at times is failing
184
00:04:39,733 --> 00:04:40,199
the artists
185
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,466
so luckily our fan base responded amazingly to that
186
00:04:43,466 --> 00:04:43,966
and we just
187
00:04:43,966 --> 00:04:45,166
basically put out
188
00:04:45,533 --> 00:04:46,733
the Patreon is is the
189
00:04:46,733 --> 00:04:47,533
like I say that
190
00:04:47,533 --> 00:04:49,266
the forefront of the campaign
191
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:50,400
that one of the main things
192
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,566
about this whole campaign
193
00:04:51,566 --> 00:04:52,799
for us is is
194
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,766
is something that
195
00:04:54,933 --> 00:04:56,466
really sort of
196
00:04:56,466 --> 00:04:58,333
made me fall in love with the music scene
197
00:04:58,333 --> 00:04:59,133
when I was younger
198
00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:00,866
and that's that sense of community
199
00:05:00,866 --> 00:05:01,899
um you know
200
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:03,166
when I was a kid
201
00:05:03,166 --> 00:05:04,333
with a Slipknot hoodie on
202
00:05:04,333 --> 00:05:06,066
getting punched on the back of the school bus
203
00:05:06,066 --> 00:05:07,366
for listening to weird shit
204
00:05:07,366 --> 00:05:07,966
you know what I mean
205
00:05:07,966 --> 00:05:08,866
and like but
206
00:05:08,866 --> 00:05:09,766
they always
207
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:11,533
there was always a sense of community
208
00:05:11,533 --> 00:05:12,499
that went alongside
209
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:13,866
the metal rock community
210
00:05:13,866 --> 00:05:15,166
yeah vaccine
211
00:05:15,266 --> 00:05:16,066
which we loved
212
00:05:16,066 --> 00:05:16,733
and this kind of
213
00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:17,566
just brings that back
214
00:05:17,566 --> 00:05:17,966
a little bit
215
00:05:17,966 --> 00:05:18,933
to that like
216
00:05:18,933 --> 00:05:19,866
the people within
217
00:05:19,866 --> 00:05:20,733
the Sleep Society
218
00:05:20,733 --> 00:05:21,466
are directly
219
00:05:21,466 --> 00:05:22,899
helping us sustain
220
00:05:22,933 --> 00:05:24,066
this career
221
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,933
but they also get this
222
00:05:25,933 --> 00:05:26,599
like awesome
223
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,900
community to be a part of
224
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:30,066
where there's so many different like
225
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:31,066
things going on
226
00:05:31,066 --> 00:05:32,533
and tutorials and like
227
00:05:32,533 --> 00:05:33,799
just loads of extra like
228
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,900
information and
229
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:35,933
and sort of benefits
230
00:05:35,933 --> 00:05:36,399
if you like
231
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,800
so it's nice to have that
232
00:05:37,933 --> 00:05:39,266
core fanbase there
233
00:05:39,333 --> 00:05:40,699
like helping
234
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:41,900
us to sustain it
235
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:42,733
more you know
236
00:05:42,733 --> 00:05:43,799
if if if we
237
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,400
if we're a band
238
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,700
that matters to these people
239
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:46,700
then they can direct
240
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:47,200
they're like
241
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:47,700
almost like
242
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:49,300
directly sustaining
243
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:49,966
like the band
244
00:05:49,966 --> 00:05:51,199
which is a crazy thing
245
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:51,933
and like I said
246
00:05:51,933 --> 00:05:53,766
it's a great sense of community
247
00:05:53,766 --> 00:05:54,366
and you know
248
00:05:54,366 --> 00:05:55,366
we're learning so much from
249
00:05:55,366 --> 00:05:55,999
the people that
250
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,066
are involved in that
251
00:05:57,166 --> 00:05:57,766
and I think that
252
00:05:57,766 --> 00:05:58,333
like everyone
253
00:05:58,333 --> 00:05:59,533
that we speak to is inside
254
00:05:59,533 --> 00:06:00,066
the suicide
255
00:06:00,066 --> 00:06:01,499
is just absolutely loving it
256
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:01,900
saying this
257
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:02,933
like always
258
00:06:02,933 --> 00:06:03,966
things happening and
259
00:06:03,966 --> 00:06:04,566
and you know
260
00:06:04,566 --> 00:06:05,166
it's interesting
261
00:06:05,166 --> 00:06:05,599
to be there
262
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,733
so it's working great so far hmm
263
00:06:07,733 --> 00:06:08,266
it's kinda like
264
00:06:08,266 --> 00:06:09,266
hanging out with your mates
265
00:06:09,266 --> 00:06:09,933
but your mates are really
266
00:06:09,933 --> 00:06:10,766
really famous band
267
00:06:10,766 --> 00:06:11,533
but they just
268
00:06:11,533 --> 00:06:12,066
get to play
269
00:06:12,066 --> 00:06:12,799
you cool songs
270
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,266
and then like oh
271
00:06:13,266 --> 00:06:14,133
do you wanna listen to this thing
272
00:06:14,133 --> 00:06:14,666
we almost did
273
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:15,366
10 years ago
274
00:06:15,366 --> 00:06:16,266
here you go
275
00:06:16,466 --> 00:06:17,566
yeah it's it's just a
276
00:06:17,566 --> 00:06:18,699
bit more Facetime
277
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:19,100
you know like
278
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:19,766
sometimes on a
279
00:06:19,766 --> 00:06:20,566
Friday you know
280
00:06:20,566 --> 00:06:22,666
we'll just jump online with like
281
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,466
you know the
282
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:24,266
the sort of
283
00:06:25,133 --> 00:06:26,266
Defiance members
284
00:06:26,266 --> 00:06:27,133
like we've got different
285
00:06:27,133 --> 00:06:28,099
tears within society
286
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:28,866
and we'll just jump on
287
00:06:28,866 --> 00:06:29,366
and have a beer
288
00:06:29,366 --> 00:06:30,499
and have a chat about stuff
289
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:31,900
and in a way of
290
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:32,966
like I could
291
00:06:32,966 --> 00:06:33,766
explain before
292
00:06:33,766 --> 00:06:34,466
the new single
293
00:06:34,466 --> 00:06:35,866
nervous like
294
00:06:36,066 --> 00:06:36,933
we've opened doors
295
00:06:36,933 --> 00:06:37,933
to just jump online
296
00:06:37,933 --> 00:06:38,766
and have chats with people
297
00:06:38,766 --> 00:06:39,133
and we're not
298
00:06:39,133 --> 00:06:39,533
trying to be
299
00:06:39,533 --> 00:06:40,566
like we're not
300
00:06:40,566 --> 00:06:41,066
trying to be
301
00:06:41,066 --> 00:06:42,199
a councillors in any way
302
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:42,700
but it's just
303
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:43,666
nice to sort of
304
00:06:43,666 --> 00:06:44,899
break down that barrier
305
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:45,500
I think for
306
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:46,300
while she sleeps
307
00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:46,966
we've always been
308
00:06:46,966 --> 00:06:47,899
that band that
309
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:49,200
we wanna like
310
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,100
get rid of the smoke
311
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:50,800
and mirrors
312
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,266
and you know
313
00:06:51,266 --> 00:06:52,866
like you know
314
00:06:52,866 --> 00:06:53,799
there's rock and roll
315
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,466
and you know
316
00:06:54,466 --> 00:06:55,133
there's mystery
317
00:06:55,133 --> 00:06:55,533
and all that
318
00:06:55,533 --> 00:06:56,299
but really we're just
319
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:56,933
a bunch of dudes
320
00:06:56,933 --> 00:06:57,899
that wanna play music
321
00:06:57,900 --> 00:06:58,500
to people that
322
00:06:58,500 --> 00:06:58,966
are listening
323
00:06:58,966 --> 00:06:59,499
and the people
324
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:00,100
that want us to
325
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:01,366
continue so
326
00:07:01,366 --> 00:07:01,966
yeah for us
327
00:07:01,966 --> 00:07:02,733
it's about dropping
328
00:07:02,733 --> 00:07:03,499
the smoke and mirrors
329
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:04,366
letting people in a bit
330
00:07:04,366 --> 00:07:05,399
more and um
331
00:07:05,733 --> 00:07:05,999
yeah I mean
332
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,600
just kind of
333
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,733
being the dudes next door
334
00:07:07,733 --> 00:07:08,166
that play in
335
00:07:08,166 --> 00:07:09,066
the band you know
336
00:07:09,066 --> 00:07:10,299
yeah just yeah
337
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:11,300
you've local
338
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:12,333
blokes in a band
339
00:07:12,333 --> 00:07:12,966
it were also
340
00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:13,666
a bit famous
341
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:14,266
but they're just
342
00:07:14,266 --> 00:07:15,433
blokes in a band
343
00:07:15,566 --> 00:07:16,166
you raised a
344
00:07:16,166 --> 00:07:17,433
really good point there
345
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:19,066
and it's more to do with
346
00:07:19,066 --> 00:07:19,866
the album content
347
00:07:19,866 --> 00:07:20,499
I'll jump back
348
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:21,000
into the sleep
349
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,866
starting a second
350
00:07:21,866 --> 00:07:22,666
with the album
351
00:07:22,666 --> 00:07:24,066
content like
352
00:07:24,066 --> 00:07:24,666
I feel like
353
00:07:24,666 --> 00:07:25,166
you guys have
354
00:07:25,166 --> 00:07:25,699
always been
355
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:26,466
really outspoken
356
00:07:26,466 --> 00:07:27,066
and this album
357
00:07:27,066 --> 00:07:27,999
in particular
358
00:07:28,066 --> 00:07:28,866
is I'm sure
359
00:07:28,866 --> 00:07:29,733
motivated by
360
00:07:29,733 --> 00:07:30,733
the chaos going on in
361
00:07:30,733 --> 00:07:31,699
the world um
362
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:32,766
it's no surprise to watch
363
00:07:32,766 --> 00:07:33,299
sleeps fans
364
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:33,700
that you're
365
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:34,666
politically motivated
366
00:07:34,666 --> 00:07:35,199
and outspoken
367
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:35,666
all the time
368
00:07:35,666 --> 00:07:36,733
but the world's
369
00:07:36,733 --> 00:07:37,733
fucking depressing
370
00:07:37,733 --> 00:07:39,166
it's depressing right now
371
00:07:39,166 --> 00:07:40,033
and I'm sure
372
00:07:40,266 --> 00:07:41,299
I'm sick of doom
373
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:42,133
scrolling and seeing
374
00:07:42,133 --> 00:07:42,799
everyday oh
375
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,266
it's another
376
00:07:43,266 --> 00:07:43,766
shit thing to
377
00:07:43,766 --> 00:07:44,799
cry about I
378
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,300
I can't tell
379
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:47,166
for you if it's a
380
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:47,899
kartic thing
381
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:49,066
where you write about it
382
00:07:49,066 --> 00:07:49,866
cause you can close
383
00:07:49,866 --> 00:07:50,266
the chapter
384
00:07:50,266 --> 00:07:50,966
and be like okay
385
00:07:50,966 --> 00:07:51,466
I've got that
386
00:07:51,466 --> 00:07:52,266
on my system
387
00:07:52,266 --> 00:07:53,799
or if you then
388
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,533
dwell on it
389
00:07:54,533 --> 00:07:55,299
and get a bit
390
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:55,966
existential
391
00:07:55,966 --> 00:07:57,133
and even realise
392
00:07:57,133 --> 00:07:58,133
just how shit it is
393
00:07:58,133 --> 00:07:58,799
even more like
394
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,066
how do you navigate
395
00:08:00,066 --> 00:08:00,866
through that
396
00:08:01,366 --> 00:08:02,466
I think the
397
00:08:02,733 --> 00:08:03,499
I think the reality
398
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:04,200
is that like
399
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,300
everybody knows
400
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,366
everyone knows
401
00:08:06,366 --> 00:08:06,999
at times that
402
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:07,900
the world is fucked
403
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:08,300
and there's
404
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:08,933
always things to
405
00:08:08,933 --> 00:08:09,666
hate upon all
406
00:08:09,666 --> 00:08:09,966
there always
407
00:08:09,966 --> 00:08:10,799
things to dislike
408
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,100
but there's
409
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:12,200
also a lot to
410
00:08:12,766 --> 00:08:14,533
to sort of enjoy
411
00:08:14,533 --> 00:08:15,199
and be thankful
412
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,866
for I guess
413
00:08:15,866 --> 00:08:16,699
I think for us
414
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:17,266
when you're
415
00:08:17,266 --> 00:08:18,066
when you're angry
416
00:08:18,066 --> 00:08:18,966
young teenagers
417
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:19,399
you know you
418
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,066
wanna be pissed
419
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:20,699
off at stuff
420
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:21,566
and that's that's
421
00:08:21,566 --> 00:08:22,066
kind of how
422
00:08:22,066 --> 00:08:22,699
like the punk
423
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:23,600
hardcore thing
424
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,400
happened for us
425
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:24,733
you know we
426
00:08:24,733 --> 00:08:25,799
just felt like
427
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:26,800
people listening
428
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,300
to our band
429
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:27,900
we wanna say
430
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:28,800
something that feels
431
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,700
important to us
432
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:30,800
or feel important
433
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,533
that we say it
434
00:08:31,533 --> 00:08:31,999
you know what
435
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
we when when
436
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:33,666
while she sleep
437
00:08:33,666 --> 00:08:34,199
when I join
438
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:34,766
while she sleeps
439
00:08:34,766 --> 00:08:36,666
in 2,009 then
440
00:08:36,666 --> 00:08:37,333
there was a lot of
441
00:08:37,333 --> 00:08:37,799
death metal
442
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:38,466
going around
443
00:08:38,466 --> 00:08:38,999
and it just felt
444
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,300
like you know
445
00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:41,866
it felt overdone and it
446
00:08:41,866 --> 00:08:42,366
we felt like
447
00:08:42,366 --> 00:08:42,799
we wanted to
448
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,533
talk about stuff
449
00:08:43,533 --> 00:08:44,333
that we'd actually
450
00:08:44,333 --> 00:08:44,933
experienced
451
00:08:44,933 --> 00:08:45,566
stuff that was a
452
00:08:45,566 --> 00:08:47,433
bit more close to
453
00:08:47,466 --> 00:08:48,299
close to the heart
454
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:48,766
you know I mean
455
00:08:48,766 --> 00:08:49,366
something that we
456
00:08:49,366 --> 00:08:50,499
can actually stand by
457
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:50,933
and I think
458
00:08:50,933 --> 00:08:51,399
that's where it's
459
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,433
developed from
460
00:08:52,466 --> 00:08:53,966
um and yeah
461
00:08:53,966 --> 00:08:54,866
you know like
462
00:08:54,966 --> 00:08:56,333
I think being in
463
00:08:56,333 --> 00:08:56,966
a metal band
464
00:08:56,966 --> 00:08:57,866
from the UK
465
00:08:57,866 --> 00:08:58,466
I feel like
466
00:08:58,466 --> 00:08:59,333
naturally like
467
00:08:59,333 --> 00:09:00,266
willing to stop
468
00:09:00,266 --> 00:09:00,733
talking about
469
00:09:00,733 --> 00:09:01,966
politics at times
470
00:09:01,966 --> 00:09:02,499
and then like
471
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,200
yeah feels like
472
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:04,800
the state of
473
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,400
the world but
474
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,066
I think the
475
00:09:06,066 --> 00:09:07,066
ultimate goal for
476
00:09:07,066 --> 00:09:07,933
for while she sleeps
477
00:09:07,933 --> 00:09:08,699
is the unity
478
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:09,300
side of things
479
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:10,800
so it's almost like
480
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:11,600
no matter what
481
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,366
shit you're in
482
00:09:12,366 --> 00:09:12,933
like you're
483
00:09:12,933 --> 00:09:13,533
going through
484
00:09:13,533 --> 00:09:14,733
or no matter how
485
00:09:14,733 --> 00:09:15,599
shit things
486
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,366
feel that we're
487
00:09:17,366 --> 00:09:18,299
all united in
488
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:18,933
the same thing
489
00:09:18,933 --> 00:09:19,599
together so
490
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,300
let's almost
491
00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:21,200
celebrate the fact
492
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:21,766
that we are
493
00:09:21,766 --> 00:09:22,533
in it together
494
00:09:22,533 --> 00:09:22,899
if you know
495
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:23,300
what I mean
496
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:24,933
so that's kind of we
497
00:09:24,933 --> 00:09:26,266
we wanna play like
498
00:09:26,266 --> 00:09:27,366
rock and metal
499
00:09:27,366 --> 00:09:27,999
and we wanna play
500
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:28,766
heavy songs
501
00:09:28,766 --> 00:09:29,766
but we also
502
00:09:29,766 --> 00:09:30,366
wanna give out
503
00:09:30,366 --> 00:09:31,566
like a positive
504
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,466
message um and
505
00:09:33,466 --> 00:09:34,899
and hope the people
506
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:35,766
can take from
507
00:09:35,766 --> 00:09:37,199
that that like
508
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:38,200
yeah everyone
509
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,266
everyone suffering
510
00:09:39,266 --> 00:09:39,899
in some way
511
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:40,800
shape or form
512
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,000
or going through
513
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:43,100
this shit if
514
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:44,233
you like or
515
00:09:44,266 --> 00:09:45,799
like you know
516
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,500
I think for me
517
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:47,133
personally it's very
518
00:09:47,133 --> 00:09:48,966
Yorkshire to look um
519
00:09:49,133 --> 00:09:49,699
to look kinda
520
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:50,566
down on stuff
521
00:09:50,566 --> 00:09:51,066
you know it's
522
00:09:51,066 --> 00:09:51,933
kinda kinda
523
00:09:51,933 --> 00:09:52,599
where we're from
524
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,133
and stuff like
525
00:09:53,133 --> 00:09:54,066
uh uh and so
526
00:09:54,066 --> 00:09:54,866
it has that
527
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,333
a lot of you know
528
00:09:56,333 --> 00:09:56,999
I like a lot
529
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:57,600
of TV shows
530
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:57,966
like league
531
00:09:57,966 --> 00:09:58,466
of gentlemen
532
00:09:58,466 --> 00:09:58,866
and stuff and
533
00:09:58,866 --> 00:09:59,999
it's just yes
534
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,033
yes about the
535
00:10:01,333 --> 00:10:02,299
the really like
536
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:02,800
I don't know
537
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,766
how to describe it
538
00:10:03,766 --> 00:10:04,333
just like the
539
00:10:04,333 --> 00:10:06,866
morbid sort of um
540
00:10:06,866 --> 00:10:07,466
humour that
541
00:10:07,466 --> 00:10:08,099
comes out of
542
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:08,600
those things
543
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,800
so yeah I think
544
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,266
I think it's a
545
00:10:10,266 --> 00:10:10,799
bit of everything
546
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,366
for us I think
547
00:10:11,366 --> 00:10:12,299
that we all
548
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:12,966
at times are just
549
00:10:12,966 --> 00:10:13,733
like fuck this
550
00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:14,166
everything's
551
00:10:14,166 --> 00:10:15,133
crap but like
552
00:10:15,133 --> 00:10:16,299
for us it's about
553
00:10:17,366 --> 00:10:18,366
recognising
554
00:10:18,366 --> 00:10:18,933
that we are
555
00:10:18,933 --> 00:10:19,666
all in the shit
556
00:10:19,666 --> 00:10:20,599
but like we're
557
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,400
all in it together
558
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,000
so let's kinda
559
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:22,866
celebrate that
560
00:10:22,866 --> 00:10:23,699
and uh yeah
561
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:24,400
hopefully it
562
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,800
um hopefully
563
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,533
gives people some
564
00:10:26,533 --> 00:10:27,533
positivity that
565
00:10:27,533 --> 00:10:28,066
that they're not
566
00:10:28,066 --> 00:10:28,866
like alone and
567
00:10:28,866 --> 00:10:30,399
at all yeah
568
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,066
delving back
569
00:10:31,066 --> 00:10:32,066
into this album
570
00:10:32,066 --> 00:10:33,466
content um I
571
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:34,333
I love the album

574
00:10:36,366 --> 00:10:37,599
and uh song
575
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:37,933

576
00:10:37,933 --> 00:10:38,499

577

00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,600
no defeat for
579
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,000
the brave oh
580
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,133
my fucking God
581
00:10:43,133 --> 00:10:44,333
but um I wonder
582
00:10:44,333 --> 00:10:45,133
did you record this
583
00:10:45,133 --> 00:10:45,699
in lockdown
584
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:46,266
or did you record
585
00:10:46,266 --> 00:10:47,166
this before
586
00:10:47,166 --> 00:10:48,499
lockdown uh
587
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:49,100
we've recorded
588
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:49,600
this record
589
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,166
in lockdown
590
00:10:50,166 --> 00:10:50,866
we did a lot of
591
00:10:50,866 --> 00:10:51,866
like the sort
592
00:10:51,866 --> 00:10:52,933
of you know
593
00:10:52,933 --> 00:10:53,933
it's writing
594
00:10:53,933 --> 00:10:54,566
and recording
595
00:10:54,566 --> 00:10:55,566
sort of ideas
596
00:10:55,566 --> 00:10:56,399
is always an
597
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,500
ongoing project
598
00:10:58,066 --> 00:10:59,633
project for us all
599
00:10:59,766 --> 00:11:00,599
and so a lot
600
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,500
of the times
601
00:11:02,066 --> 00:11:02,699
you know I'll
602
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:03,466
be digging through
603
00:11:03,466 --> 00:11:04,566
lyrics and and
604
00:11:04,566 --> 00:11:05,133
I might have
605
00:11:05,133 --> 00:11:05,799
written something
606
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:06,733
two years ago
607
00:11:06,733 --> 00:11:07,566
and and I'm
608
00:11:07,566 --> 00:11:08,066
bringing it to
609
00:11:08,066 --> 00:11:08,966
the table now
610
00:11:08,966 --> 00:11:10,099
and what really
611
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:10,666
strange things
612
00:11:10,666 --> 00:11:11,466
while she sleeps
613
00:11:11,466 --> 00:11:12,199
songs is always
614
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:12,700
seems to be
615
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:13,700
like the the
616
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:14,200
message that
617
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:14,900
we giving out
618
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:15,966
in certain songs
619
00:11:15,966 --> 00:11:16,599
always seems
620
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,000
to come true
621
00:11:18,366 --> 00:11:19,266
like after the
622
00:11:19,266 --> 00:11:20,333
album's released
623
00:11:20,333 --> 00:11:20,899
before there
624
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:21,466
was like feel
625
00:11:21,466 --> 00:11:22,933
like feeling of
626
00:11:22,933 --> 00:11:24,733
like you know
627
00:11:24,733 --> 00:11:25,733
being divided
628
00:11:25,733 --> 00:11:26,166
and stuff like
629
00:11:26,166 --> 00:11:26,599
that and then
630
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,200
like Brexit
631
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:27,966
came into play
632
00:11:27,966 --> 00:11:28,366
and it just
633
00:11:28,366 --> 00:11:29,133
it felt like
634
00:11:29,133 --> 00:11:29,899
it sort of really
635
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:30,900
clicked into place
636
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:31,866
but I feel like
637
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,166
for all the
638
00:11:33,166 --> 00:11:33,766
rising while
639
00:11:33,766 --> 00:11:34,899
she sleeps like
640
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:35,500
well all the
641
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:36,000
all the band
642
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,966
really like
643
00:11:37,366 --> 00:11:39,199
it's um it's
644
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:39,733
important to
645
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:40,466
leave it kind of
646
00:11:40,466 --> 00:11:41,266
open ended in a
647
00:11:41,266 --> 00:11:42,199
poetic licence
648
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:42,700
kind of way
649
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:43,833
so that anyone
650
00:11:43,933 --> 00:11:45,099
can sort of
651
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:46,166
make sense of
652
00:11:46,166 --> 00:11:47,166
the lyrics for them
653
00:11:47,166 --> 00:11:48,599
you know like
654
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:49,766
I think Dave Grohl
655
00:11:49,766 --> 00:11:50,333
said something
656
00:11:50,333 --> 00:11:51,933
like um it's
657
00:11:51,933 --> 00:11:53,499
crazy that um
658
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:54,100
he can sing
659
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:54,566
the lyrics to
660
00:11:54,566 --> 00:11:55,299
a songs that
661
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:55,933
he's written
662
00:11:55,933 --> 00:11:57,366
to 80,000 people
663
00:11:57,366 --> 00:11:58,866
but 80,000 people
664
00:11:58,866 --> 00:11:59,399
can sing them
665
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,433
back to him
666
00:12:00,733 --> 00:12:02,799
for 80,000 completely
667
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:03,766
different reasons
668
00:12:03,766 --> 00:12:04,166
and I think
669
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:05,066
that is what's
670
00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:06,266
so beautiful about
671
00:12:06,266 --> 00:12:06,933
like lyrics
672
00:12:06,933 --> 00:12:07,766
and and like
673
00:12:07,766 --> 00:12:08,699
we try and leave it
674
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:09,466
quite poetic
675
00:12:09,466 --> 00:12:09,799
but I think
676
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,300
as well what's
677
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:11,133
interesting
678
00:12:11,133 --> 00:12:11,699
in terms of
679
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:12,366
why she sleeps in
680
00:12:12,366 --> 00:12:12,933
lyrics that
681
00:12:12,933 --> 00:12:14,266
like at some
682
00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:14,999
point they do
683
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,666
connect and
684
00:12:15,666 --> 00:12:17,166
relate so like
685
00:12:17,166 --> 00:12:17,566
you might be
686
00:12:17,566 --> 00:12:18,099
writing about
687
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:19,133
like a certain
688
00:12:19,133 --> 00:12:19,899
relationship
689
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:20,800
or politics
690
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,166
but it's weird to
691
00:12:22,166 --> 00:12:22,933
see how they
692
00:12:22,933 --> 00:12:24,166
they could make sense
693
00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:25,199
to both you know
694
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:25,700
like you could
695
00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:26,266
write about a
696
00:12:26,266 --> 00:12:27,266
breakup but that
697
00:12:27,266 --> 00:12:27,766
not breakup
698
00:12:27,766 --> 00:12:28,499
could relate to
699
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:29,166
Brexit in a
700
00:12:29,166 --> 00:12:29,699
way you know
701
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:30,566
like it's kinda
702
00:12:30,566 --> 00:12:31,933
crazy so yeah
703
00:12:31,933 --> 00:12:32,399
try and keep
704
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:32,966
a lot of uh
705
00:12:32,966 --> 00:12:33,866
poetic licence
706
00:12:33,866 --> 00:12:34,399
in there and
707
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,400
hopefully you
708
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:35,933
know that means
709
00:12:35,933 --> 00:12:36,899
that people can
710
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:37,700
can sort of
711
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:38,166
make their own
712
00:12:38,166 --> 00:12:38,799
meaning up for
713
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,333
a little bit
714
00:12:39,333 --> 00:12:39,966
and I guess
715
00:12:39,966 --> 00:12:40,466
that happens
716
00:12:40,466 --> 00:12:41,133
in general with
717
00:12:41,133 --> 00:12:41,899
music anyway
718
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:43,366
but um but yeah
719
00:12:43,366 --> 00:12:44,299
the poet licence
720
00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:45,266
is what we trying
721
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:47,600
keep um at the
722
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,066
forefront of
723
00:12:48,066 --> 00:12:48,666
our lyric writing
724
00:12:48,666 --> 00:12:49,366
so that people
725
00:12:49,366 --> 00:12:50,199
can can make
726
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:50,866
the connection
727
00:12:50,866 --> 00:12:51,966
jumping back into
728
00:12:51,966 --> 00:12:52,999
like you know
729
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,066
Sleep Society
730
00:12:54,066 --> 00:12:55,166
and your fans
731
00:12:55,166 --> 00:12:55,999
um you did a
732
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:56,800
press video
733
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,533
where you talked about
734
00:12:57,533 --> 00:12:57,899
your reason
735
00:12:57,900 --> 00:12:59,066
behind launching
736
00:12:59,266 --> 00:13:00,766
the fan orientated
737
00:13:00,966 --> 00:13:02,166
community we said
738
00:13:02,166 --> 00:13:02,366
you want to
739
00:13:02,366 --> 00:13:03,199
rebuild the system
740
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:03,866
where artists
741
00:13:03,866 --> 00:13:04,366
can survive
742
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:04,899
and fans can
743
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:05,166
get what they
744
00:13:05,166 --> 00:13:05,999
deserve when
745
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,933
you look like
746
00:13:06,933 --> 00:13:07,933
if we're talking
747
00:13:07,933 --> 00:13:08,999
day one into
748
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:09,933
the pandemic
749
00:13:09,933 --> 00:13:10,399
everything's
750
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,266
going into lockdown
751
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:11,999
like fuck all
752
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:12,400
these tours
753
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,233
are cancelled
754
00:13:13,666 --> 00:13:14,366
when you think
755
00:13:14,366 --> 00:13:15,199
how the music
756
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,400
industry reacted
757
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,300
and the structure
758
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:17,933
of the music
759
00:13:17,933 --> 00:13:19,333
industry this
760
00:13:19,333 --> 00:13:19,866
is probably
761
00:13:19,866 --> 00:13:20,799
an obvious question
762
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,566
but I just wanna
763
00:13:21,566 --> 00:13:21,966
really get your
764
00:13:21,966 --> 00:13:22,733
perspective
765
00:13:22,733 --> 00:13:23,366
do you think
766
00:13:23,366 --> 00:13:24,099
the infrastructure of
767
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:25,233
the music industry
768
00:13:25,533 --> 00:13:26,666
was able to
769
00:13:26,666 --> 00:13:27,366
support artists
770
00:13:27,366 --> 00:13:28,133
at the time
771
00:13:28,133 --> 00:13:28,933
and if not what
772
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:29,699
needs to change
773
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:30,300
because you know
774
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:30,600
when it came
775
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,100
to streaming
776
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:32,366
services and
777
00:13:32,366 --> 00:13:33,133
like online
778
00:13:33,133 --> 00:13:33,599
platforms it
779
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,266
took a while
780
00:13:34,266 --> 00:13:34,699
for bands to
781
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:35,366
actually start
782
00:13:35,366 --> 00:13:36,599
doing like live
783
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,533
stream shows
784
00:13:37,533 --> 00:13:37,999
what do you think
785
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,966
needs to change
786
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:39,966
I think that
787
00:13:39,966 --> 00:13:40,966
it's just you know
788
00:13:40,966 --> 00:13:41,666
like like I
789
00:13:41,666 --> 00:13:42,199
said earlier
790
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,166
the demand for
791
00:13:43,166 --> 00:13:44,099
like punk rock
792
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:44,733
and metal bands
793
00:13:44,733 --> 00:13:45,399
is huge and
794
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,166
it always has been
795
00:13:46,166 --> 00:13:47,166
but like when
796
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,700
like for example
797
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:50,133
um it I think
798
00:13:50,133 --> 00:13:51,099
it takes something like
799
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:52,900
7,000 streams
800
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:53,833
of an album
801
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:54,866
to generate
802
00:13:55,133 --> 00:13:55,666
I think it's
803
00:13:55,666 --> 00:13:57,299
25 quid is what
804
00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:57,933
what we say
805
00:13:57,933 --> 00:13:58,799
in that in that
806
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,533
um what's it
807
00:14:00,533 --> 00:14:01,899
called in the
808
00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:02,833
press video
809
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:03,666
in again in
810
00:14:03,666 --> 00:14:04,199
the conference
811
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,600
that happens
812
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,500
before the song
813
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:05,966
and like when
814
00:14:05,966 --> 00:14:06,366
you put that
815
00:14:06,366 --> 00:14:07,199
into perspective
816
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,200
like how many plays
817
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:08,666
you gonna have to
818
00:14:08,666 --> 00:14:09,666
get to start
819
00:14:09,666 --> 00:14:10,066
making that
820
00:14:10,066 --> 00:14:11,033
sustainable
821
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:11,400
where was you
822
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:11,966
think around
823
00:14:11,966 --> 00:14:12,499
back in the
824
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:13,100
day when like
825
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:13,700
like we talked
826
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:14,366
about hybrid
827
00:14:14,366 --> 00:14:14,766
theory when
828
00:14:14,766 --> 00:14:15,699
that came out
829
00:14:15,966 --> 00:14:16,499
you went out
830
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:17,200
when you bought
831
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,000
you bought the
832
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:18,966
the record and
833
00:14:18,966 --> 00:14:19,466
that was it
834
00:14:19,466 --> 00:14:19,999
like that was
835
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,866
your 10 of pay
836
00:14:20,866 --> 00:14:22,733
but like that
837
00:14:22,733 --> 00:14:23,299
you don't have to
838
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:23,933
do that now
839
00:14:23,933 --> 00:14:24,399
you can pay
840
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,000
a 10 an hour
841
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,466
you've got a month
842
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:26,899
and you've got
843
00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:27,700
all the music
844
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:28,333
you you pretty
845
00:14:28,333 --> 00:14:29,799
much need so
846
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,466
it is it is
847
00:14:30,466 --> 00:14:31,599
crazy and like
848
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,333
I don't think
849
00:14:32,333 --> 00:14:32,933
anybody's got
850
00:14:32,933 --> 00:14:33,566
a quick fix
851
00:14:33,566 --> 00:14:34,166
for it I just
852
00:14:34,166 --> 00:14:34,733
think that's
853
00:14:34,733 --> 00:14:34,999
the way that
854
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,733
everything's gone
855
00:14:35,733 --> 00:14:36,533
with the internet
856
00:14:36,533 --> 00:14:37,399
and like like
857
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,266
YouTube and
858
00:14:38,266 --> 00:14:39,666
and just you know
859
00:14:39,666 --> 00:14:41,066
streaming and
860
00:14:41,066 --> 00:14:41,733
like all these
861
00:14:41,733 --> 00:14:42,366
other different
862
00:14:42,366 --> 00:14:43,133
platforms that
863
00:14:43,133 --> 00:14:43,899
are around now
864
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:44,566
and like bands
865
00:14:44,566 --> 00:14:45,133
having to keep
866
00:14:45,133 --> 00:14:46,099
up with that
867
00:14:46,766 --> 00:14:47,399
you know so it's
868
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,700
it's just yeah
869
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:49,300
I I want it
870
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:49,966
like I think
871
00:14:49,966 --> 00:14:50,699
the main thing
872
00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:51,333
for us with
873
00:14:51,333 --> 00:14:52,133
this whole campaign
874
00:14:52,133 --> 00:14:52,866
as well is like
875
00:14:52,866 --> 00:14:53,366
we want it to be
876
00:14:53,366 --> 00:14:53,799
an industry
877
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,266
that we can
878
00:14:54,266 --> 00:14:54,899
turn around to
879
00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:56,133
our children's children
880
00:14:56,133 --> 00:14:56,699
and be like
881
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:57,300
yes it's an
882
00:14:57,300 --> 00:14:57,800
industry that
883
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,600
you wanna be
884
00:14:58,933 --> 00:14:59,666
you wanna be
885
00:14:59,666 --> 00:15:00,133
if you if you
886
00:15:00,133 --> 00:15:00,733
feel passionate
887
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:01,699
about it then
888
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:02,333
then follow
889
00:15:02,333 --> 00:15:02,866
that because
890
00:15:02,866 --> 00:15:03,566
it's a good
891
00:15:03,566 --> 00:15:04,333
industry to be in
892
00:15:04,333 --> 00:15:04,799
we don't wanna
893
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,333
turn around
894
00:15:05,333 --> 00:15:06,299
in a few a few more
895
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:07,000
like another 10
896
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
15 years time
897
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,866
and be like
898
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,100
stay very well
899
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:10,900
away from that
900
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:11,966
like that industry
901
00:15:11,966 --> 00:15:12,533
because it's
902
00:15:12,533 --> 00:15:13,366
it's fucked
903
00:15:13,366 --> 00:15:13,966
and it's corrupt
904
00:15:13,966 --> 00:15:16,033
so I think that
905
00:15:16,933 --> 00:15:17,566
more and more
906
00:15:17,566 --> 00:15:18,399
people now are
907
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,566
talking about
908
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,733
the way that it's
909
00:15:20,733 --> 00:15:21,533
sustainable
910
00:15:21,533 --> 00:15:22,133
for artists
911
00:15:22,133 --> 00:15:22,666
and the way that
912
00:15:22,666 --> 00:15:23,099
the streaming
913
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:24,133
platforms and
914
00:15:24,133 --> 00:15:24,933
and different
915
00:15:24,933 --> 00:15:25,966
different outlets
916
00:15:25,966 --> 00:15:27,366
sort of repay the
917
00:15:27,366 --> 00:15:28,133
artist for the
918
00:15:28,133 --> 00:15:28,566
for the work
919
00:15:28,566 --> 00:15:29,666
done I think
920
00:15:29,666 --> 00:15:30,833
what the what
921
00:15:30,866 --> 00:15:31,566
we've done with
922
00:15:31,566 --> 00:15:32,266
this campaign
923
00:15:32,266 --> 00:15:33,099
is just like
924
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:33,733
I say try and
925
00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:34,999
outline some of those
926
00:15:35,333 --> 00:15:36,066
difficult is
927
00:15:36,066 --> 00:15:36,899
for bands and help
928
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:37,466
people that are
929
00:15:37,466 --> 00:15:39,399
like into music
930
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,266
you know like
931
00:15:40,266 --> 00:15:41,599
the general public
932
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,933
I would say they
933
00:15:42,933 --> 00:15:43,799
they kind of
934
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,166
listen to Radio 1
935
00:15:45,166 --> 00:15:45,899
or whatever
936
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:47,066
and then they just
937
00:15:47,066 --> 00:15:47,799
that's kind of
938
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,400
it they might
939
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:48,800
hear a song
940
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,266
on the radio
941
00:15:49,266 --> 00:15:49,733
they like and
942
00:15:49,733 --> 00:15:50,199
then they go to
943
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:50,866
Spotify and
944
00:15:50,866 --> 00:15:51,366
they play it
945
00:15:51,366 --> 00:15:52,799
but like rock
946
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,700
and metal fans are
947
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:54,700
like fans of
948
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:55,566
music they like
949
00:15:55,566 --> 00:15:56,299
purposefully
950
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:57,400
go and like
951
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,466
search for new bands
952
00:15:58,466 --> 00:15:59,299
to listen to
953
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:00,200
and so it's
954
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:00,800
a different
955
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:01,466
it's a different
956
00:16:01,466 --> 00:16:01,866
way that we
957
00:16:01,866 --> 00:16:02,799
digest our music
958
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,300
and I think
959
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:03,900
the way the
960
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:04,366
way that we just
961
00:16:04,366 --> 00:16:04,966
put it out there
962
00:16:04,966 --> 00:16:05,533
is just like
963
00:16:05,533 --> 00:16:06,066
it's all about
964
00:16:06,066 --> 00:16:06,566
trying to make it
965
00:16:06,566 --> 00:16:07,133
sustainable
966
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:08,766
if you got your top 5
967
00:16:08,766 --> 00:16:09,466
favourite bands
968
00:16:09,466 --> 00:16:11,199
like try and
969
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:12,500
give them some focus
970
00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:13,000
you know like
971
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,733
maybe chip them a
972
00:16:13,733 --> 00:16:14,199
bit of coin
973
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:14,766
every month
974
00:16:14,766 --> 00:16:15,499
extra so that
975
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:15,966
they've got
976
00:16:15,966 --> 00:16:16,699
that they've
977
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:17,500
got that in
978
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:18,100
the bank so
979
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:18,733
that they can
980
00:16:18,733 --> 00:16:20,366
then focus on
981
00:16:20,366 --> 00:16:21,066
what's important
982
00:16:21,066 --> 00:16:22,033
which is the
983
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:22,766
the art you know
984
00:16:22,766 --> 00:16:23,399
I mean like
985
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,300
so many bands
986
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:25,066
have basically
987
00:16:25,066 --> 00:16:25,733
got to turn into
988
00:16:25,733 --> 00:16:27,366
clothing brands now
989
00:16:27,366 --> 00:16:27,899
to be able to
990
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:28,533
make the music
991
00:16:28,533 --> 00:16:29,066
side of things
992
00:16:29,066 --> 00:16:29,666
sustainable
993
00:16:29,666 --> 00:16:30,766
so yeah it's just
994
00:16:30,766 --> 00:16:31,533
I don't like
995
00:16:31,533 --> 00:16:32,133
there's no real
996
00:16:32,133 --> 00:16:32,699
answer for it
997
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:33,100
but I think
998
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:33,700
like since we
999
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:34,300
released this
1000
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:35,400
message I've
1001
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:35,966
noticed a lot
1002
00:16:35,966 --> 00:16:36,599
more people
1003
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,666
like I don't
1004
00:16:37,666 --> 00:16:38,899
like CEOs of
1005
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:39,800
of like huge
1006
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,566
companies and stuff
1007
00:16:40,566 --> 00:16:41,099
coming out with
1008
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:42,266
like a press
1009
00:16:42,266 --> 00:16:42,666
conferences
1010
00:16:42,666 --> 00:16:43,199
being like yeah
1011
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:43,766
we need to re
1012
00:16:43,766 --> 00:16:44,366
evaluate what
1013
00:16:44,366 --> 00:16:44,933
we're doing and
1014
00:16:44,933 --> 00:16:45,466
and try and
1015
00:16:45,466 --> 00:16:46,133
find balance
1016
00:16:46,133 --> 00:16:46,699
and stuff like that
1017
00:16:46,700 --> 00:16:47,333
and it's definitely
1018
00:16:47,333 --> 00:16:48,499
not just from
1019
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:49,266
while she sleeps
1020
00:16:49,266 --> 00:16:49,899
saying it by
1021
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:50,866
any means but
1022
00:16:50,933 --> 00:16:51,533
it's just good
1023
00:16:51,533 --> 00:16:51,866
that there's
1024
00:16:51,866 --> 00:16:52,499
some attention
1025
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:53,000
and some light
1026
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:53,600
being in shed
1027
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,266
on that and
1028
00:16:54,266 --> 00:16:55,533
like and and
1029
00:16:55,533 --> 00:16:56,099
trying to figure
1030
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:57,100
it out um and
1031
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:57,733
hopefully yeah
1032
00:16:57,733 --> 00:16:58,299
hopefully it'll
1033
00:16:58,300 --> 00:16:58,700
turn around
1034
00:16:58,700 --> 00:16:59,266
a little bit
1035
00:16:59,266 --> 00:17:00,266
and um I don't
1036
00:17:00,266 --> 00:17:00,499
think there
1037
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:01,066
has to be any
1038
00:17:01,066 --> 00:17:02,933
like crazily
1039
00:17:02,933 --> 00:17:03,866
dramatic changes
1040
00:17:03,866 --> 00:17:05,199
just to you
1041
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:05,733
know just to
1042
00:17:05,733 --> 00:17:06,399
find a bit more
1043
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:06,933
balance and
1044
00:17:06,933 --> 00:17:07,899
stability for the
1045
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:08,466
for the bands
1046
00:17:08,466 --> 00:17:09,399
that sort of
1047
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:10,666
slightly under
1048
00:17:10,666 --> 00:17:11,333
the radar but
1049
00:17:11,333 --> 00:17:12,166
still pushing
1050
00:17:12,166 --> 00:17:13,299
you know so yeah
1051
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:13,733
and I think
1052
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:14,899
as well like
1053
00:17:15,266 --> 00:17:15,933
it's not just
1054
00:17:15,933 --> 00:17:16,533
a model that
1055
00:17:16,533 --> 00:17:17,733
establish bands can use
1056
00:17:17,733 --> 00:17:18,299
I think this is
1057
00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:18,800
a model that
1058
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,166
um that like
1059
00:17:20,166 --> 00:17:20,866
up and coming
1060
00:17:20,866 --> 00:17:21,766
aspiring bands
1061
00:17:21,766 --> 00:17:22,533
can use as well
1062
00:17:22,533 --> 00:17:23,099
even if it was
1063
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:23,600
just friends
1064
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,333
and family of
1065
00:17:24,333 --> 00:17:25,066
the band you know
1066
00:17:25,066 --> 00:17:25,733
like when you
1067
00:17:25,733 --> 00:17:26,499
when you first
1068
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:27,333
started out
1069
00:17:27,333 --> 00:17:27,899
they could then
1070
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:28,733
print some vinyls
1071
00:17:28,733 --> 00:17:29,966
and some CDs
1072
00:17:29,966 --> 00:17:30,333
yeah I mean
1073
00:17:30,333 --> 00:17:30,666
they're not
1074
00:17:30,666 --> 00:17:31,199
having to try
1075
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,066
and work out
1076
00:17:32,066 --> 00:17:32,766
and then that
1077
00:17:32,766 --> 00:17:34,166
could then in
1078
00:17:34,166 --> 00:17:34,899
the long run
1079
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:35,800
maybe prevent them
1080
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,500
from signing a
1081
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:37,366
record deal
1082
00:17:37,366 --> 00:17:38,899
that they were gonna
1083
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:39,766
lose you know
1084
00:17:39,766 --> 00:17:40,199
and it's just
1085
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,400
about that being
1086
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,300
clever about
1087
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:43,700
how you start
1088
00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:44,100
the initial
1089
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:44,733
journey cause
1090
00:17:44,733 --> 00:17:45,733
it can you know
1091
00:17:45,733 --> 00:17:46,699
it can be the
1092
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:47,333
beginning but
1093
00:17:47,333 --> 00:17:47,799
it can also
1094
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,400
quickly be the
1095
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,133
end of a of a
1096
00:17:49,133 --> 00:17:49,866
decent band
1097
00:17:49,866 --> 00:17:50,966
or musician if
1098
00:17:51,466 --> 00:17:52,199
if they don't
1099
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:52,733
do the right
1100
00:17:52,733 --> 00:17:53,666
things early on
1101
00:17:53,666 --> 00:17:54,266
so you work
1102
00:17:54,266 --> 00:17:54,966
with Simon Neil
1103
00:17:54,966 --> 00:17:55,533
on this new
1104
00:17:55,533 --> 00:17:56,366
song and he
1105
00:17:56,366 --> 00:17:56,766
I'm pretty sure
1106
00:17:56,766 --> 00:17:57,499
he just jumped on
1107
00:17:57,500 --> 00:17:58,266
an architect song
1108
00:17:58,266 --> 00:17:59,166
as well it's
1109
00:17:59,166 --> 00:17:59,766
really nice
1110
00:17:59,766 --> 00:18:00,266
it's really
1111
00:18:00,266 --> 00:18:01,133
nice to see
1112
00:18:01,133 --> 00:18:01,699
the metal in
1113
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:02,700
rock world collab
1114
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:03,500
like that and
1115
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:04,200
like yeah from
1116
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:04,600
all different
1117
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:05,766
bands jumping on
1118
00:18:05,766 --> 00:18:06,366
everyone songs
1119
00:18:06,366 --> 00:18:06,866
it feels like
1120
00:18:06,866 --> 00:18:07,799
2,010 again
1121
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:08,200
when everyone
1122
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,266
was just jumping on
1123
00:18:09,266 --> 00:18:09,899
metalcore songs
1124
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:10,666
that was fun
1125
00:18:10,666 --> 00:18:12,133
um but I wonder
1126
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:12,966
you know metal
1127
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:13,666
hasn't always
1128
00:18:13,666 --> 00:18:14,199
been a really
1129
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,000
embracing pace
1130
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:15,900
for stuff like that
1131
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:16,566
I've always been a
1132
00:18:16,566 --> 00:18:17,166
bit resilient
1133
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:17,766
when it comes to
1134
00:18:17,766 --> 00:18:18,366
rock and metal
1135
00:18:18,366 --> 00:18:18,799
and anybody
1136
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,366
especially from
1137
00:18:19,366 --> 00:18:20,299
pop and rap
1138
00:18:20,333 --> 00:18:20,966
coming into metal
1139
00:18:20,966 --> 00:18:22,866
god forbid that uh
1140
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,466
do you think
1141
00:18:23,466 --> 00:18:24,133
it's important
1142
00:18:24,133 --> 00:18:24,799
for metal to
1143
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,566
strive for like
1144
00:18:26,566 --> 00:18:27,699
you know adapting
1145
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:28,333
and evolving
1146
00:18:28,333 --> 00:18:28,966
especially in
1147
00:18:28,966 --> 00:18:29,966
this climate
1148
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:30,866
for us like
1149
00:18:30,866 --> 00:18:31,866
it's all about
1150
00:18:31,866 --> 00:18:32,699
being able to step
1151
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:33,300
outside that
1152
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:34,133
metalcore box
1153
00:18:34,133 --> 00:18:34,899
you know obviously
1154
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:35,500
our band was
1155
00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:36,166
formed through
1156
00:18:36,166 --> 00:18:36,599
the love of
1157
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,266
metalcore and
1158
00:18:37,266 --> 00:18:37,866
when we met
1159
00:18:37,866 --> 00:18:38,499
when I met the
1160
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:39,700
guys years back
1161
00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:40,400
before I was even
1162
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:40,866
in the band
1163
00:18:40,866 --> 00:18:41,466
we hung out
1164
00:18:41,466 --> 00:18:42,266
and we just
1165
00:18:42,266 --> 00:18:42,799
love playing
1166
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,600
metalcore bands
1167
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,466
like Darkest
1168
00:18:44,466 --> 00:18:45,699
Hour on earth
1169
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:46,866
which kills
1170
00:18:46,866 --> 00:18:47,666
which engage
1171
00:18:47,666 --> 00:18:48,866
as a lay dying
1172
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,366
and and this
1173
00:18:50,366 --> 00:18:51,266
and this you know
1174
00:18:51,266 --> 00:18:51,966
Shadows Fall
1175
00:18:51,966 --> 00:18:52,599
there's tons
1176
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,066
but you know
1177
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:55,166
I think now
1178
00:18:55,333 --> 00:18:55,866
trying to be a
1179
00:18:55,866 --> 00:18:56,333
current band
1180
00:18:56,333 --> 00:18:56,899
in the industry
1181
00:18:56,900 --> 00:18:57,533
that we're in is
1182
00:18:57,533 --> 00:18:58,199
about stepping
1183
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:58,666
outside the
1184
00:18:58,666 --> 00:18:59,133
box and just
1185
00:18:59,133 --> 00:18:59,599
being able to
1186
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,400
create kind
1187
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,200
of freely and
1188
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:01,800
not being too
1189
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:02,500
head up on what
1190
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:03,200
genre things
1191
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:03,766
are like if
1192
00:19:03,766 --> 00:19:04,833
I hear a band
1193
00:19:05,133 --> 00:19:05,766
I'm not like
1194
00:19:05,766 --> 00:19:06,499
other metalcore
1195
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:07,300
band I'm just
1196
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:07,966
like this band
1197
00:19:07,966 --> 00:19:08,533
sounds good
1198
00:19:08,533 --> 00:19:09,266
full stop so
1199
00:19:09,266 --> 00:19:10,133
I think it's just about
1200
00:19:10,133 --> 00:19:11,166
like broadening
1201
00:19:11,166 --> 00:19:11,966
those genres
1202
00:19:11,966 --> 00:19:12,799
and just you know
1203
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,200
being a bit
1204
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:13,800
more free to
1205
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:14,566
create like
1206
00:19:14,566 --> 00:19:16,666
for us like
1207
00:19:16,666 --> 00:19:17,166
we just wanna
1208
00:19:17,166 --> 00:19:17,599
go into the
1209
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,333
studio with
1210
00:19:18,333 --> 00:19:19,399
like a a clean
1211
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:19,900
slate and be
1212
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:20,533
like let's just
1213
00:19:20,533 --> 00:19:21,333
create something
1214
00:19:21,333 --> 00:19:21,733
and I think
1215
00:19:21,733 --> 00:19:22,266
that's why in
1216
00:19:22,266 --> 00:19:23,066
in our latest
1217
00:19:23,066 --> 00:19:23,933
record Sleep
1218
00:19:23,933 --> 00:19:24,599
Society you
1219
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,300
do see a lot
1220
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:27,033
of different
1221
00:19:27,366 --> 00:19:28,766
like different
1222
00:19:28,766 --> 00:19:29,599
sounds and and
1223
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:30,166
like different
1224
00:19:30,166 --> 00:19:30,933
vibes within
1225
00:19:30,933 --> 00:19:31,766
the record you know
1226
00:19:31,766 --> 00:19:32,099
we've got a
1227
00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:32,566
song that's
1228
00:19:32,566 --> 00:19:33,466
like completely
1229
00:19:33,466 --> 00:19:34,166
clean with just
1230
00:19:34,166 --> 00:19:35,599
a piano yeah
1231
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,666
um and then
1232
00:19:36,666 --> 00:19:37,533
but then that
1233
00:19:37,533 --> 00:19:38,466
sort of book ended
1234
00:19:38,466 --> 00:19:38,999
it goes into
1235
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:39,466
like one of
1236
00:19:39,466 --> 00:19:40,099
the heaviest tracks
1237
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:40,766
on the record
1238
00:19:40,766 --> 00:19:41,566
and I think
1239
00:19:41,766 --> 00:19:42,333
it's just all
1240
00:19:42,333 --> 00:19:42,799
about that for
1241
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,200
us we don't
1242
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,733
wanna be in a
1243
00:19:43,733 --> 00:19:44,566
a don't wanna be
1244
00:19:44,566 --> 00:19:44,933
a band that
1245
00:19:44,933 --> 00:19:45,533
writes the same
1246
00:19:45,533 --> 00:19:46,599
record twice
1247
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,000
so I think that
1248
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,333
it's for us
1249
00:19:49,333 --> 00:19:50,099
anyway it's
1250
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:50,866
crucially important
1251
00:19:50,866 --> 00:19:51,299
that we sort
1252
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:52,500
of clash on
1253
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:53,266
as a bit and
1254
00:19:53,266 --> 00:19:53,899
and collaborate
1255
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:54,866
with people
1256
00:19:54,933 --> 00:19:56,333
um working with Simon Neil
1257
00:19:56,333 --> 00:19:57,933
on this song
1258
00:19:57,933 --> 00:19:58,566
in particular
1259
00:19:58,566 --> 00:19:59,199
was amazing
1260
00:19:59,200 --> 00:19:59,866
I feel feel
1261
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:01,133
like his um
1262
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:01,899
his voice on
1263
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:03,166
nervous just
1264
00:20:03,166 --> 00:20:04,299
really suited
1265
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:05,300
the anthemic
1266
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:07,100
sound um came to
1267
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:07,533
the he came
1268
00:20:07,533 --> 00:20:08,833
to the like
1269
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:09,933
he got involved
1270
00:20:09,933 --> 00:20:10,266
and there was
1271
00:20:10,266 --> 00:20:11,166
so many like
1272
00:20:11,166 --> 00:20:12,166
great ideas
1273
00:20:12,166 --> 00:20:12,933
and we basically
1274
00:20:12,933 --> 00:20:14,133
kept everything
1275
00:20:14,133 --> 00:20:14,699
that he did
1276
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:15,166
on the song
1277
00:20:15,166 --> 00:20:15,766
in the song
1278
00:20:15,766 --> 00:20:16,399
like he came
1279
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,000
and he was like
1280
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:17,500
throwing ad
1281
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:18,533
libs in between
1282
00:20:18,533 --> 00:20:18,999
the structure
1283
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:19,700
that we already
1284
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:20,933
had and yeah
1285
00:20:20,933 --> 00:20:21,399
his voice sounded
1286
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:22,000
so good he was
1287
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,700
such a positive
1288
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:23,266
guy to work
1289
00:20:23,266 --> 00:20:24,066
with so yeah
1290
00:20:24,066 --> 00:20:24,733
we loved working
1291
00:20:24,733 --> 00:20:25,966
with Simon and
1292
00:20:25,966 --> 00:20:26,766
Derek on no
1293
00:20:26,766 --> 00:20:27,266
defeat from
1294
00:20:27,266 --> 00:20:27,699
the brave as
1295
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:28,633
well but um
1296
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,400
yeah I think
1297
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:30,966
it's crucially
1298
00:20:30,966 --> 00:20:31,333
important to
1299
00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:31,899
collaborate
1300
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:32,466
we love the
1301
00:20:32,466 --> 00:20:33,266
collaborations
1302
00:20:33,266 --> 00:20:34,299
on this record
1303
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:36,066
for us and yeah
1304
00:20:36,066 --> 00:20:36,866
bands like any
1305
00:20:36,866 --> 00:20:37,799
Shikari I think
1306
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,466
very early on
1307
00:20:38,466 --> 00:20:38,966
in the like
1308
00:20:38,966 --> 00:20:40,366
the metal hardcore
1309
00:20:40,366 --> 00:20:41,599
punk pop world
1310
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,000
so smash down
1311
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,100
those Barry is
1312
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:44,733
and I do think it's
1313
00:20:44,733 --> 00:20:45,299
important that we
1314
00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:45,900
we continue
1315
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:46,733
to do that and
1316
00:20:46,733 --> 00:20:47,533
you mentioned Derek
1317
00:20:47,533 --> 00:20:48,133
so I thought I'd
1318
00:20:48,133 --> 00:20:49,333
ask uh you're
1319
00:20:49,333 --> 00:20:49,766
doing a collab
1320
00:20:49,766 --> 00:20:50,533
with some 40
1321
00:20:50,533 --> 00:20:51,466
ones Derek on
1322
00:20:51,466 --> 00:20:52,666
this album how
1323
00:20:52,666 --> 00:20:53,766
insane is that
1324
00:20:53,766 --> 00:20:54,299
how did that
1325
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:55,566
even come about
1326
00:20:55,566 --> 00:20:56,066
we basically
1327
00:20:56,066 --> 00:20:56,533
just reached
1328
00:20:56,533 --> 00:20:57,066
out to him all
1329
00:20:57,066 --> 00:20:57,899
being fans of
1330
00:20:57,900 --> 00:20:59,466
um all being
1331
00:20:59,466 --> 00:21:00,533
fans of some 41
1332
00:21:00,533 --> 00:21:01,133
as kids and
1333
00:21:01,133 --> 00:21:01,799
still are fans
1334
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:02,766
some 41 like
1335
00:21:02,766 --> 00:21:03,399
um I remember
1336
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:03,966
skateboarding
1337
00:21:03,966 --> 00:21:04,333
and that's my
1338
00:21:04,333 --> 00:21:04,933
local music
1339
00:21:04,933 --> 00:21:05,699
shop and just
1340
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:06,300
picking up all
1341
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:06,966
killer no filler
1342
00:21:06,966 --> 00:21:07,699
by completely
1343
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:08,600
by accident
1344
00:21:08,666 --> 00:21:08,966
and then it
1345
00:21:08,966 --> 00:21:09,533
turned into
1346
00:21:09,533 --> 00:21:10,533
such a big record
1347
00:21:10,533 --> 00:21:10,966
for me and my
1348
00:21:10,966 --> 00:21:11,466
brother you
1349
00:21:11,466 --> 00:21:12,866
know yeah so
1350
00:21:13,133 --> 00:21:13,699
and I think
1351
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:14,333
everybody in
1352
00:21:14,333 --> 00:21:14,799
our band has
1353
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,333
had that time
1354
00:21:15,333 --> 00:21:16,166
with some 41
1355
00:21:16,166 --> 00:21:17,133
you know they still play
1356
00:21:17,133 --> 00:21:17,699
now in all the
1357
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:18,533
local rock clubs
1358
00:21:18,533 --> 00:21:19,099
and stuff well
1359
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:19,400
when they're
1360
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,400
back open in
1361
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,933
all the local
1362
00:21:20,933 --> 00:21:21,533
rock clubs and
1363
00:21:21,533 --> 00:21:23,266
stuff um so
1364
00:21:23,266 --> 00:21:23,666
yeah there were
1365
00:21:23,666 --> 00:21:24,366
huge influence
1366
00:21:24,366 --> 00:21:25,799
on us all and
1367
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,966
we we kinda
1368
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:28,200
were thinking about
1369
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:28,800
the collabs
1370
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,466
that he's done
1371
00:21:29,466 --> 00:21:29,866
and I don't
1372
00:21:29,866 --> 00:21:30,499
actually think
1373
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:31,566
he's done like
1374
00:21:31,566 --> 00:21:32,533
crazy amounts of
1375
00:21:32,533 --> 00:21:33,366
collaborations
1376
00:21:33,366 --> 00:21:34,333
so we just sort of
1377
00:21:34,333 --> 00:21:34,933
reached out to
1378
00:21:34,933 --> 00:21:35,933
him and you
1379
00:21:35,933 --> 00:21:36,499
know and said
1380
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:37,066
would you be up
1381
00:21:37,066 --> 00:21:38,199
for hearing
1382
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:38,733
the demo that
1383
00:21:38,733 --> 00:21:40,266
we've got um
1384
00:21:40,333 --> 00:21:40,733
we've heard
1385
00:21:40,733 --> 00:21:41,299
that you kinda
1386
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:41,933

1387
00:21:41,933 --> 00:21:42,599
and you've heard us
1388
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,333
and he like
1389
00:21:43,333 --> 00:21:44,199
confirms that he
1390
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:44,733

1391
00:21:44,733 --> 00:21:45,199

1393
00:21:45,933 --> 00:21:46,699
albums and he
1394
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:47,300
was into the
1395
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:48,333
band and we
1396
00:21:48,333 --> 00:21:48,733

1397
00:21:48,733 --> 00:21:49,266
talking from
1398
00:21:49,266 --> 00:21:49,799

1399
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:50,400
and then sort of
1400
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:51,100
no defeat for
1401
00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:52,366
the brave the demo
1402
00:21:52,366 --> 00:21:53,266
came about and
1403
00:21:53,266 --> 00:21:53,766
it's really
1404
00:21:53,766 --> 00:21:54,799
strange how
1405
00:21:55,066 --> 00:21:55,766
the verses in
1406
00:21:55,766 --> 00:21:56,366
no defeat for
1407
00:21:56,366 --> 00:21:56,899
the brave were
1408
00:21:56,900 --> 00:21:57,866
written by while
1409
00:21:57,866 --> 00:21:58,399
she sleeps but
1410
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,300
they sound like
1411
00:21:59,300 --> 00:21:59,900
they're written
1412
00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:00,700
by some part
1413
00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:01,300
they sound like
1414
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:01,566
they're written
1415
00:22:01,566 --> 00:22:03,166
by Derek yeah
1416
00:22:03,166 --> 00:22:03,699
even the way
1417
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:04,300
that he sung
1418
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:05,933
the verses on
1419
00:22:05,933 --> 00:22:06,333
the thing and
1420
00:22:06,333 --> 00:22:07,366
they just sound like
1421
00:22:07,366 --> 00:22:08,533
some 41 birth
1422
00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:09,066
so that was
1423
00:22:09,066 --> 00:22:09,766
crazy that it
1424
00:22:09,766 --> 00:22:10,599
all sort of
1425
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:11,500
came together
1426
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:12,166
and yeah he
1427
00:22:12,166 --> 00:22:12,799
he was great
1428
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,266
to work with
1429
00:22:13,266 --> 00:22:13,933
as well so that
1430
00:22:13,933 --> 00:22:14,699
was amazing
1431
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:15,166
yeah it was
1432
00:22:15,166 --> 00:22:15,999
a great collab
1433
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:16,900
and like I said
1434
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:17,400
we're we're
1435
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:17,866
really stoke
1436
00:22:17,866 --> 00:22:18,699
with this record
1437
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:19,800
and uh hope
1438
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,400
the people like it
1439
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,333
as much as we do
1440
00:22:21,333 --> 00:22:22,499
and lastly uh
1441
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:22,933
I know it's
1442
00:22:22,933 --> 00:22:23,699
hard to anticipate
1443
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:24,366
cause we don't
1444
00:22:24,366 --> 00:22:24,899
fucking know
1445
00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:25,366
when tours are
1446
00:22:25,366 --> 00:22:26,166
coming back
1447
00:22:26,166 --> 00:22:27,699
but um when
1448
00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:28,500
tours come back
1449
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:29,000
what are you
1450
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,666
most excited
1451
00:22:29,666 --> 00:22:30,133
for I don't
1452
00:22:30,133 --> 00:22:30,499
know what I'm
1453
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:31,066
gonna do when
1454
00:22:31,066 --> 00:22:31,599
I get into a
1455
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:32,533
venue covered in
1456
00:22:32,533 --> 00:22:33,133
beer probably
1457
00:22:33,133 --> 00:22:33,599
roll around
1458
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,000
on the floor
1459
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,466
for a bit like
1460
00:22:34,466 --> 00:22:35,299
a fucking dog
1461
00:22:36,733 --> 00:22:38,466
I think I roll about on the stage for a bit
1462
00:22:38,466 --> 00:22:39,366
I usually do anyway
1463
00:22:39,366 --> 00:22:41,566
so that's no different there um
1464
00:22:42,333 --> 00:22:43,566
I think that you know
1465
00:22:43,566 --> 00:22:44,833
I think when you
1466
00:22:44,966 --> 00:22:46,399
not that we take it for granted
1467
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,133
but you kind of
1468
00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:47,899
you take it for granted
1469
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:50,800
that you can travel quite freely with your bandmates
1470
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,133
and just tour wherever
1471
00:22:52,133 --> 00:22:53,933
whenever um
1472
00:22:53,933 --> 00:22:55,199
and I think previous to this
1473
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,133
I had a couple of conversations with my brother
1474
00:22:57,133 --> 00:22:58,699
who's actually a tour manager
1475
00:22:58,966 --> 00:23:00,333
um he works for bands like
1476
00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:02,866
Frank Carter and the rattlesnakes and Dumb Broco
1477
00:23:02,900 --> 00:23:05,733
yeah um uh he looks after them on the road
1478
00:23:05,733 --> 00:23:06,566
and he was kind of
1479
00:23:06,566 --> 00:23:07,266
for a little while
1480
00:23:07,266 --> 00:23:09,766
he's kind of felt like he was over touring
1481
00:23:09,900 --> 00:23:11,066
and I think what this has done
1482
00:23:11,066 --> 00:23:12,666
is just open up conversations like
1483
00:23:12,666 --> 00:23:15,099
we'll never take it for granted again that we can like
1484
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:18,000
visit such beautiful countries and like
1485
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,800
experience it with our like
1486
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:20,900
best friends you know
1487
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:22,300
and I think that's one of the things for me
1488
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:23,233
that I'll just
1489
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:25,133
obviously the gigs out of things
1490
00:23:25,133 --> 00:23:25,699
and being like
1491
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:28,200
united with our fans again is gonna be amazing
1492
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,133
and that sort of
1493
00:23:29,133 --> 00:23:31,966
adrenaline that comes with the live shows is like
1494
00:23:31,966 --> 00:23:32,966
there's nothing like it
1495
00:23:32,966 --> 00:23:34,999
you know so that's just gonna be such
1496
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,733
such an amazing feeling when it comes back
1497
00:23:36,733 --> 00:23:38,099
but alongside of that
1498
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,700
you know I don't wanna lay in on the tour bus hungover
1499
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:42,266
you know I mean
1500
00:23:42,266 --> 00:23:44,466
I wanna get up and actually see more of the world
1501
00:23:44,466 --> 00:23:45,666
and and and
1502
00:23:45,766 --> 00:23:47,999
and really appreciate the fact that we can uh
1503
00:23:48,333 --> 00:23:49,333
can travel so yeah
1504
00:23:49,333 --> 00:23:50,066
we'll wait and see
1505
00:23:50,066 --> 00:23:51,266
after after
1506
00:23:51,466 --> 00:23:54,433
uh Covid sorted itself out
