Speaker 1 (00:24):
More goth from seven hours after Violet Nice.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
And I was so lucky that I got to catch
your set. It's rarely that they let me out of
this tent for during the day, but I didn't care
because I had to go.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
To your show.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Thank you. Sorry to make you sweat because in this tent.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Outside, but it was worth the sweat for sure. Here
it louder than life. So will you think it louder
in life?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Like?

Speaker 4 (00:52):
It's a great festl I mean, like all some of
the best bands in the world are here, all on
the same day. You know, every day is stacked full
of great bands. You know, there's so man's good heavy
music going on right now. So this festival is a
great example of a lot of awesome different heavy bands
coming together and playing like a one thing that people

(01:12):
can see from hardcore to death metal, to pop punk
or to metal core, deathcore, everything you want you can
pretty much find here.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, you and I were talking about that yesterday, how
cool it is at nowadays, especially at the Danny Wimmer festivals,
there's a mix of every type of metal, punk, hip hop,
like instead of just being this gatekeeper purest attitude, everybody's here.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah, I mean it seems like people are pretty open
minded to different styles of heavier music nowadays.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
So great.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
It's kind of like a high tides lift all boat
sort of scenario.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
So it's, yeah, I'm grateful to be here.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Has there been a set that you've gone to at
leward in life that you were really like pumped up
to see the band?

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah, our singers left. This other band Left to Suffer
played yesterday. Our drummer played with them too, and that
was that was really good. It was really awesome seeing
Cavallera Conspiracy syeing the Cavallera brothers play the old Sepultoria stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, I loved I loved that. That was so good.
Laura Shore crushed.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
It and were they awesome or Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:22):
That was great.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
I just saw Thornhill just now and that was awesome too.
I like that band a lot. That new album was
so good. Yeah, man, it was. It was stacked like
all day. It was just good sec good seck, good set,
good say I see.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I love when artists actually have the time to enjoy
other bands, because it's not often like sometimes you're on
such a time crunch. It's like, oh, I'd like to
catch these bands, but like you got to catch.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
A lot of bands, so that's cool.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Well, yesterday I didn't have to play, so I was
able to have an off day and was just able
to hang out and just go watch whatever I wanted to.
So that's always nice when you get a day just
a chill and hang out with your friends and just
go watch the band that you're able to go see.
Today's a little more hectic for me, so I don't
get to see as much. But it's also super stack today,
so I almost can't even look at the line up
because I get bommed because I'm like Davin, I don't

(03:09):
know if I can.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
See this man. I don't really want to see this man.
I like this, you know.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
That's why I bring that up because I think a
lot of listeners they don't understand that you're a fan
first absolutely, you know, and like you want to be
out there just like the rest of us, but you
also want to be on stage too. It goes both ways,
and that full musical experience.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Yeah, I mean everyone everyone in bands is a fan first.
That's kind of how you get into it, you don't.
I mean I haven't met many people who just like
fell backwards into being in like a metal band who
weren't into it at all before that. It's not very common, right,
It's too much suffering and involved in too much hard
work to.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Warrant it if you're not into what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
So you guys have been on a whirlwind lately.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Like I saw you ink, I saw you at Download,
I saw you at Hellfest, and now I see you
here at Louder than Life. How does that feel like
playing to these type of crowds, like, and they're there
for you, not just for the festival for you.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, man, it's amazing.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
I mean we haven't even really been a band playing
shows like for a year yet We're still very new
and people are still just discovering we exist at all.
So playing these definitely helps with that. Obviously, it is
like a little bit of a collective group of like
musicians who are not really starting from zero. Obviously, having
Chavo from System of a Down in your band is amazing,

(04:39):
just like in terms of these opportunities and stuff. But
it's really cool that people seem to be digging the
project and people seem to like the album. We're working
on new music right now to get some songs out
sooner than later. Playing these shows and all these festivals
in front of like all these like massive amounts of
people is great because kind of get like a since

(05:00):
since we wrote these songs before playing any shows or
anything like that, you kind of see how they work live.
So now we got a bit more of a gist
on like what our favorite parts of our music that
seems to be working, what we should double down on,
what we should like lean back from, and so it's
it's a great learning experience too, creatively.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
And so speaking of Shavl, I was talking to him
yesterday and basically he was telling me how he hand
picked each one of you guys to be in this band.
How does that make you feel when somebody like Chavo
comes up to you and thinks, man, you're really fucking good,
you should be playing with me type of thing.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, I mean I halfway feel like I somewhat manipulated
him into starting this band with me.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
And I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Yeah, it was great. Like in the beginning, me and him.
Just it wasn't even the idea wasn't even to make
a band. It was just we were just started writing
music together and it was just coming out cool. Like
it came out it sounded like what the band, what
you're hearing? Yeah, So to me, it was just not
really sounding like other artists out there. I realized there's
kind of an open lane and System isn't really releasing music.

(06:08):
So I was just like, bro, like the world should
hear Chavo riffs. Yeah, Like, let's like do a project.
Where at first it was just going to be a
solo record for him. That was going to be a
cool album, get a bunch of features on it, and
like just create some like epic collage of like a
DJ khalied a metal sort of vibe. And then yeah,
as we wrote more songs, like his team and stuff

(06:29):
like actually really loved what we were making and said
like you should do this because you could go on
tour and you guys aren't really touring much and you
really want to like do a more modern band.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
So like do that.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
So basically did that, and I just brought my friends
to him, like I was like, Hey, this kid would
be sick. This kid, we'd be sick. This kid would
be sick. And luckily like he liked all of them
doing the I was doing the Left to Suffer album,
and in the process of doing that, me and Taylor
I realized that I was like, oh, he's a great
singer and a great one of the best screamers in
the world.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Like who I think really is is great.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Yeah, I mean I think it really is pushing the
boundaries of what like you're capable of, like with guttural
vocals and stuff like that. But anyways, and then Ollijandro
is just we're all super fans of him because he's
an amazing, amazing guitar player, amazing piano player.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
I mean he almost won American Idol.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
You know, Like his voice isn't like one of my
favorites I've ever heard, So just like kind of threw
hell Mary out there. I was like, yoh, do you
want to play guitar? And he did so yeah. Me
and Shabo just kind of restoked on the group of people.
You know, Josh is in insane drummer.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's always great because you guys have that chemistry between
the musicians for sure, and that's what we see. We
see a chemistry up there, and I think that's why
you guys are so bad ass, because you're great musicians,
but you also have that cohesive chemistry together.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh thank you.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, we're all friends, so it's just kind of adds
like a fun element to it, just getting to play
music with your friends.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
And so now I always like to ask, and now
you've done Welcome to Rockville. You've done this one. I'm
not sure if you did any others because I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
These are two.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
How does Danny Wimmer treat you as an artist?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Oh? Amazing. Danny is awesome.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
I'm so super grateful for the opportunity for him to
get us on these shows and stuff. I know everyone
who's in the band wants to play for like Danny's
festivals and stuff. So to be like one of the
bands that is in the lucky enough like group of
artists getting to play these is amazing.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
And in sixteen years of doing his festivals, I've never
heard of or say a bad thing. And as sometimes
most of the time that's not the case. At festival
usually there's a lot of stress because soundtrack's not right,
load in's not right, loud, load out is not right.
But all I ever hear is like it's smooth sailing

(08:45):
at Danny Wimmer Festival for the artists.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yeah, they definitely seem to take a lot of effort
into making sure that the fest run smoothly, So everyone's
obviously grateful for that.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
And what else do you going on after this that
you want the listeners to know about?

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah, right now we're on tour with Marilyn Manson. This
is like a festival off show with right, But yeah,
we start our Manson tour again tomorrow. We'll be doing
that for about like two and a half weeks or so,
when we go play After Shock in Sacramento and the
other Danny Fest and fun one by the way. After that,
we have some tours and things that we've been offered.

(09:21):
We're just like figuring out what makes sense and what
we should do. We're gonna write a lot more new music.
We have been writing music. We have like a handful
of songs that are really far along. But we're gonna
like really lock in and like go super hard for
a couple of months and just try and just make
the best stuff we can so we can get music
to people sooner than later when we're stoked obviously, when

(09:42):
we're stoked on it and we feel like it's good.
But I'm confident that won't be hard because all of
us make music all the time constantly, so it's not
like we have to go in and learn how to do.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
It again, you know.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Like I've been writing consistently for years since our album
came out, and so is everyone.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
So there's gonna be great.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
After Chucks great. I love that festival.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, I love after Stark too.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
It's gonna be a lot of fun. I can't wait
to see you there again too. And Hey, thanks for
being here at Ladder in Life and thanks for being
