Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi, you love done to censure?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Wow for you you.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Wait a second? Given me just a minute?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Arnoia fund and I'm afraid any world Stop.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Dy Wold Stop from the Adventures pipe Man W four
c Y Radio And I'm here with our next guests,
traveling over to Pond once again. I love going over
there because they have such great music over in the UK.
And now we have like one of the coolest new
London bands and we have Felix with her with us
(00:51):
from help.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
How are you hello? How's it going? Thanks for having
me on?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Hey, my pleasure, My pleasure? And I was listening to
your debut single Break and not only do I think
it is a badass song, but I think a lot
of people can really relate to the message.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm glad you think that.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I mean, this song is Honestly, it was written a
long time ago and we were just sort of waiting
for the right time to put it out and kind
of felt like the right, you know, song to come
out the doors with.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And yeah, it kind of this The song sounds like
the name I.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Guess I know, right, And I mean, listen, I think
we're all kind of our own worst enemy, aren't we?
Like in some way or another, and that's why I
think everybody can relate to it. So what created the
thoughts to make this song?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I think, well, it actually came from the instrumental.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Usually the way I do it is is I'll write
the songs instrumentally first and then see what I can
do and usually judge it off of like, what does
it kind of feel like? The song was trying to
say a little bit and it was just so kind
of in your face. I was like, I feel like it.
You know, obviously the theme has to relate to what
(02:11):
it feels like. And I guess at the time I
was going through a couple problems within music and whatever
I think, like everyone everyone does, and that kind of
inspired it and it kind of came out pretty cool
and came together pretty nicely.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
See, And that's the cool part about taking things that
might be a negative and turning them into a song
to make it a positive and therapy and just get
it out totally.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Well, that's what music is, right. I Mean, I think
most people that write music is to kind of let
it out. Some people journal and someone some people can
sing it, so so definitely that's I mean, that's the
way I've always done.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It well, and I think the singing part is where
all the emotion comes from. Like you can journal stuff
and it's good, but it's not really delt. I think
music more delves into the emotion than journaling, and I
think that's why, you know, most artists are their own
worst enemy, their own worst critic. And then yeah, there's
(03:16):
a lot of things that artists have to deal with
being in the music business. I mean, the most fun
part is making the music and performing it, but everything
else is the not fun part.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Sometimes it's difficult because it's a business, but it doesn't
work like a business in any way whatsoever. So it's
it's definitely hard to kind of wiggle your way around.
But you know what, once you kind of latch onto
some good people, when you of them around, then it
flows flows pretty well.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So tell me what were those moments that led up
to the forming of Help and the people that you
have surrounded yourself with.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Oh yeah, so actually the concept of Help is pretty new.
I was auditioning for this band in la earlier this year.
Oh no, I guess last year now, in April, and
I just kind of had this idea of this band
kind of being a bit more punky and whatever. I've
always been like a solo guy before this, and I
(04:25):
ran it by a couple people and everyone seemed to
really like it, pretty much everyone I ran it by,
and I thought the music that I had backed up
also matched the kind of image I was trying to portray,
and it came about fairly quickly. I was put in
contact with Shelter Music Management, who you know, I've been
(04:46):
trying to get in contact with for years, So I
was pretty.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Happy with that.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And because of them, they've sort of surrounded me with
some good people. I'm in London, so this is a
pretty good hub for the heavy scene. And actually I've
been I've been totally pleased. It's it's a completely different
experience from my my, you know, previous endeavors doing so
(05:11):
solo stuff and whatever. So yeah, I'm really pleased and
how it's coming about so quick.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So would you say then it looks to me like
you're happy that you have gone and blossomed into this
band from us and from solo and definitely benefits to it.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I Mean the main thing I think is, like you know,
when you see like a band poster of like you know,
who's playing this venue or whatever. If I walk past
it and I saw someone's name, I'll be like, I
personally wouldn't really care that much. But then if you
see a really cool name for a band, even if
you don't know the band, you're kind of like you're
(05:55):
more interest or at least in my opinion. And I
just thought the name Help was so good and it really,
you know, kind of punches you in the face. It
feels like you already know a band called.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Help, you know. Yeah, so I was, yeah, I kind
of got lucky with that one a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And you're so right too, because even like the big,
big band, when even the like front person goes off
and does solo stuff, it's not received the same as
the band.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
No. I think the only person that's really worked with
is Auzsie But even yeah, it's not even his name
though that's.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
His stage name totally. So I think it depends.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
It depends on the music, and the music that we're
releasing is band music. It's not one person on stage.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Bon Jovi could kind of get away with it. He's
a bit poppy. He's that kind of guy. It's him.
It sounds like, you know, he's singing, not not just
the band.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Right, And you're so right about Azzie, but I think
Ozzy too, Like he's had some of the greatest musicians
throughout his solo career, and I think that's what made
him Arsie along with himself obviously, but without them maybe
when we wouldn't have had the same outcome.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I mean I think it also probably his voice helped
a lot, because no one is ever going to sound
like him, and no one sounded like him before, you know,
so that that definitely helped him out a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, it's like, you're right, because, like you have a
bunch of these tribute bands coming and playing now, and
I listened to him and I'm like, yeah, it sounds
like the song, but it doesn't sound like Arsie.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
No.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, I think that's It's a little bit like the
problem with rock now. I mean, there's some amazing bands out,
but you know, you go onto a rock playlist and
it all sounds like the same band and it just
gets a bit boring.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
After a while.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And I guess that's what we're trying to do to
kind of change it, change it up a bit, you know,
switch it up and not just do the same thing
that everyone else's and you know, they're successful and that's great,
but it's definitely, you know, the down the middle rock
stuff is not what.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
We're looking at.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, you know, it's funny you should say that because
I'm one of those people that I've said, like, nowadays
compared to going back in the beginning of like metal
and hard rock, you didn't have a formula then, and
it's almost like bands have a formula now.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, called definitely.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I call it like an algebraic equation, you know, and
like metal should not have that, right, Metals shouldn't have that,
hard rock shouldn't have that, and I don't think music
rock in general should because the whole point is, you
take some of the greatest bands in history, they didn't
sound like anybody else, and they had like blending of
(08:50):
different influences to make a unique sound. And I think
that's what I heard when I heard your song.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Well, I'm glad you think that that's what I'm trying
to trying to do.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
But yeah, you're definitely right.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
There's a blueprint that everyone follows, and actually it makes sense,
you know, Like I'm guilty of writing music that sounds
like other people, but it's because everything has been done
and everyone's trying to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know, So it does make sense.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
You know, these older bands like you know, even liked
O and Ossie and stuff like, there wasn't there wasn't
anyone like them before. So that's I'm not saying it's easy,
but it was probably easier to be a bit more
unique because there's less competition. But now, you know, it's
like a million songs go on Spotify every day. It's
like you're competing with a lot, a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And that's why it's good to put your own individuality
into it, you know. And that's what I feel you
guys do. What else can we expect from you this year?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, I'm not going to say anything set in stone
because I believe it was a bit of a surprise,
but there's a this this year. We're planning a lot,
a lot to do with of course releasing new music,
but with shows as well. I mean, we all just
want to go out and play, and especially in a
place like this with awesome venues and so many great
bands as you mentioned before in the UK, but very
(10:14):
very soon there'll be lots of announcements of shows, possibly
some festivals, some some cool stuff and we're we're super excited,
we're gearing.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Up for it.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Nice. I hope it's one of the festivals that I cover,
because you guys would probably be badass live.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Oh well, fingers crossed. Man, we'll see, we'll see what
you can do.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Right. So, now, what started at all for you as
a musician. When was that moment in time where you
were like, this is just me and this is what
I'm going to do.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Man, it was a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I think, Well, the earliest memory I have is watching
I think it was a live version of Nothing Else matters,
and it was just Kirk playing the intro and it
was so good. And at this point I already had
guitars because I thought they looked cool. I didn't know
how to play or anything like that when I was
very young, and I think from that moment that's how
(11:10):
I am or what what what got me into it?
And you know, I grew up in the Middle East.
I was born in Bahrain and grew up in Dubai,
and you know, there's not a big metal scene there
at all.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I mean there's not even a music.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Scene, right, So It was definitely a bit difficult, you know,
trying to get bands together and stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That we did what we could.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And I think moving to London definitely helped, you know,
definitely getting around other musicians and whatever. But Metallica pretty
much that's what started it. I think it's the same
for a lot of people, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, it was. I went to their first show ever,
so definitely for.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Me, Wow, that's not bad, right.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
It was like, after going shows like that in a club,
I was like, I'm never going to a real concert
ever again, because you know, when you see bands in
that intimate space when you're like a teenager, Yeah, I
think it changes your life completely.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, well the bar is set so high, right, you
see someone else you're like, that was good, but it
wasn't as good, right, totally?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
All right, Well, is there anything else you want to
share with the listeners that we haven't covered already?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
And I really appreciate speaking with you, and I'm you know,
I'm really glad you liked the music and had me on.
So yeah, I'm hoping to see you in the in
the future and maybe at one of these festivals.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Absolutely, I hope. So, And let's tell everybody how they
can reach out to you guys on socials, on the
web music and find out about all your tour dates,
all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Sure, yeah, I mean so the Instagram is the band.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Help on YouTube all the music videos there that it's
just help with the exclamation mark. You've got to remember
that same on Spotify, Apple Music, it's all there, so
if you put the exclamation mark, it'll come up there.
Speaker 2 (13:02):

Speaker 1 (07:39):
No.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, I think that's It's a little bit like the
problem with rock now. I mean, there's some amazing bands out,
but you know, you go onto a rock playlist and
it all sounds like the same band and it just
gets a bit boring.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
After a while.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And I guess that's what we're trying to do to
kind of change it, change it up a bit, you know,
switch it up and not just do the same thing
that everyone else's and you know, they're successful and that's great,
but it's definitely, you know, the down the middle rock
stuff is not what.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
We're looking at.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, you know, it's funny you should say that because
I'm one of those people that I've said, like, nowadays
compared to going back in the beginning of like metal
and hard rock, you didn't have a formula then, and
it's almost like bands have a formula now.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, called definitely.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I call it like an algebraic equation, you know, and
like metal should not have that, right, Metals shouldn't have that,
hard rock shouldn't have that, and I don't think music
rock in general should because the whole point is, you
take some of the greatest bands in history, they didn't
sound like anybody else, and they had like blending of
(08:50):
different influences to make a unique sound. And I think
that's what I heard when I heard your song.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Well, I'm glad you think that that's what I'm trying
to trying to do.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
But yeah, you're definitely right.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
There's a blueprint that everyone follows, and actually it makes sense,
you know, Like I'm guilty of writing music that sounds
like other people, but it's because everything has been done
and everyone's trying to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know, So it does make sense.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
You know, these older bands like you know, even liked
O and Ossie and stuff like, there wasn't there wasn't
anyone like them before. So that's I'm not saying it's easy,
but it was probably easier to be a bit more
unique because there's less competition. But now, you know, it's
like a million songs go on Spotify every day. It's
like you're competing with a lot, a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And that's why it's good to put your own individuality
into it, you know. And that's what I feel you
guys do. What else can we expect from you this year?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, I'm not going to say anything set in stone
because I believe it was a bit of a surprise,
but there's a this this year. We're planning a lot,
a lot to do with of course releasing new music,
but with shows as well. I mean, we all just
want to go out and play, and especially in a
place like this with awesome venues and so many great
bands as you mentioned before in the UK, but very
(10:14):
very soon there'll be lots of announcements of shows, possibly
some festivals, some some cool stuff and we're we're super excited,
we're gearing.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Up for it.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Nice. I hope it's one of the festivals that I cover,
because you guys would probably be badass live.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Oh well, fingers crossed. Man, we'll see, we'll see what
you can do.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Right. So, now, what started at all for you as
a musician. When was that moment in time where you
were like, this is just me and this is what
I'm going to do.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Man, it was a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I think, Well, the earliest memory I have is watching
I think it was a live version of Nothing Else matters,
and it was just Kirk playing the intro and it
was so good. And at this point I already had
guitars because I thought they looked cool. I didn't know
how to play or anything like that when I was
very young, and I think from that moment that's how
(11:10):
I am or what what what got me into it?
And you know, I grew up in the Middle East.
I was born in Bahrain and grew up in Dubai,
and you know, there's not a big metal scene there
at all.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I mean there's not even a music.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Scene, right, So It was definitely a bit difficult, you know,
trying to get bands together and stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That we did what we could.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And I think moving to London definitely helped, you know,
definitely getting around other musicians and whatever. But Metallica pretty
much that's what started it. I think it's the same
for a lot of people, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, it was. I went to their first show ever,
so definitely for.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Me, Wow, that's not bad, right.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
It was like, after going shows like that in a club,
I was like, I'm never going to a real concert
ever again, because you know, when you see bands in
that intimate space when you're like a teenager, Yeah, I
think it changes your life completely.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, well the bar is set so high, right, you
see someone else you're like, that was good, but it
wasn't as good, right, totally?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
All right, Well, is there anything else you want to
share with the listeners that we haven't covered already?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
And I really appreciate speaking with you, and I'm you know,
I'm really glad you liked the music and had me on.
So yeah, I'm hoping to see you in the in
the future and maybe at one of these festivals.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Absolutely, I hope. So, And let's tell everybody how they
can reach out to you guys on socials, on the
web music and find out about all your tour dates,
all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Sure, yeah, I mean so the Instagram is the band.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Help on YouTube all the music videos there that it's
just help with the exclamation mark. You've got to remember
that same on Spotify, Apple Music, it's all there, so
if you put the exclamation mark, it'll come up there.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You go. Well, thanks for all the help exactly. Thanks
for being on the Adventures of pipe.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Man you so much. Thank you for listening to the
Adventures of Pipemin on w for c u I Radio.
