them life's coming up? What else you got coming up?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Man? So what do we all have till? Currently?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Right now we are on tour with Catch Your Breath
we're doing some routing days home from this festival with them.
They're great friends of ours that we love. We just
really least a double single thing, so it's two songs,
let Down and Misery Loves Company. We have an album
coming and we're kind of releasing it in two different parts.
So the first part is going to be coming out
(04:12):
in the fall and it's called Who Sold You This Truth?
So we got a bunch of new music coming out
very soon. We just announced a tour with Blessed the
Fall in the fall. Yeah, so man, we're busy and
we're just loving every second of it.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
So what's your favorite Blessed Fall song?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I mean, you gotta go with the Hey Baby, right.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, Well, I don't know. They've got some heavy ones,
they got some sick ones.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Damn. Yeah. I'm actually really happy that they're back.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, me too, bro, It's it's stick. It's sick to
seem back.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
So, and what's one of your favorite songs to play
of yours?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
So right now, I think I really really love playing
this song that we have called need Alee, just because
the people love singing it so much and I love
hearing them sing it back. And we also have an
unreleased song right now that we have in our set
called God Complex, and that song is just like a
little bit of a curveball and the crowd's always so
down for it. Yeah, and that one's just really fun
(05:05):
to hear because you know, nobody knows it yet, so
they're like kind of at the beginning of the song,
they're kind of standing there, but like at the end.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Of it, they're like, yeah, that's so cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
What advice would you give the bands and may or
may not be just starting out or I kind of
want to see themselves move up in the world, or
just any advice at all.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I mean, I think the best thing that you could
possibly do is just kind of put the next foot
in front of the other, keep playing your shows, keep
fucking ripping social media content, and dude, like I think,
just be true to yourself and you know, make sure,
oh this is what it is. Don't have people on
(05:45):
your team that you want to be there, but you
can kind of tell that they're like one foot in
and one foot out, like like I would way rather
work with somebody that has less experience, but like they
just love.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Of my band and they love they want to be there.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And they want to work with us, Like, I don't
care if there's like some like super amazing, like guy
with a big name that comes and works on our
project and he doesn't really want to be there, Like,
you're not going to get this amazing product. You're gonna
get something that's like halfway good.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
They're gonna be faking it.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yeah, And it's like work with people that you can tell,
like are passionate about your project. And I think that
that's gonna get you really far. And and that's gonna
I think that's a really good compass to have whenever
you are considering partners.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That's really solid advice. I appreciate you saying that. Yeah,
any final words you want to say to fans.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Thanks for listening to my band, Thanks for listening to
our music. Thanks for all the love that we've been
shown recently. Listen to our new songs let Down in Misery,
Love's Company, keep a lookout for our new album, and
we'll see you on the road with Bless the Fall
this Fall.

them out. And we got that. What is it a
double album? Yeah, it's a pulling.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
