Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can see them.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's so cool.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Or in next month, She's like she calls me up
before every festival because I go on tour and do
all the festivals US, UK, Europe, I do all the
whimmer ones. And she's like, so you're excited about going
this festival. I'm like, well, I don't know if excites
a word. I love doing it, but when you do
it every weekend, it's excited.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
First time I did inc, I called her up.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I'm like, I'm calling you from the Shawshank Prison.
Speaker 3 (03:59):

Speaker 2 (04:02):
And then I was out there taking pictures of the
prison and some other band members taking pictures. Goes, hey,
can you take my picture, I'll take yours. Look as
we're fanboying out on shot show.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
On the venue. Yeah that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, it's wild. Did you explore the whole prison?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
We went into it briefly, but it was like it
was really hot when we were there, like it was
ninety something and it gets humid in Ohio.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Not quite like Florida, but it gets pretty brutal.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So we were like in and out in our ridiculous
stage costume.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
So we got out pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I always like bands are friends of mine. I take
them aside. After here, I'm like, how the fuck do
you dress? Like that in this weather Man. It's like
it shows how dedicated you are to your crab.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Yeah, because you could.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Easily just say screw it, I'm just gonna dress normal.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
But we didn't do our job then, I know exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
That's my point.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, but that prison is really haunted for real, not
just Blood Prison, but the real pritty legit.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
So you know whil and Revis right Wayland.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah yeah, yeah so he I always saw it was
Revis too until he said his name in the interview
and I'm like, oh, I've been fucking.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Up his name.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
But he told me that they filmed the video in
the one of the torture rooms and he came out
scratched up, bloody, scratched up.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Wow, nobody was there by him.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, that's crazy, Like he just did he did a
single recently with a man from Mushroomhead who sings on
our upcoming record.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Wow, that's pretty cool. And so tell us about your
new music.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, so we have a new album or Ticks and Lallabies,
coming out October tenth on Napalm Records. We just released
our latest single came out this week, which is to
cover of Summertime Sadness.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
By Na del Ray.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
We have two more singles that'll come out with two
more videos, and then the record comes out October tenth.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's like a birthday president of me because my birthday
is October eleventh.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Oh, one day. That's great.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
So we usually come to the Tennessee of your Metal
Devastation fest to celebrate. When is it October tenth? I'm
gonna have the eleventh. It's the eleventh. It's your birthday,
my birthday.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's a birthday only one day, right, Yeah, that one
I know about it. Yeah, I'll go to check into
it because normally after Shock is that weekend year. Yeah,
this year is the week before. Okay, I'm gonna have
to check that out. Yeah, that's a cool festival. I
have seen it, but always conflicted with Aftershock. So what
do you feel the experiences here at Bloodstock compared to
(06:33):
US festivals?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It is a completely different vibe. I mean, yeah, the
bands here are hungry for new bands and new music
and authenticity and things like that, which is sort of
like a little bit different in Europe than the States,
where seems a little bit more prepackaged.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
In the States. Sometimes it can be that way. We're
here it's like, what's new, what's aggressive? Give me more?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And like I saw the tenths for a band blame
at ten third to fold.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
To the rim on the last day?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Like does that in the States, They're just oh, go
a way to the headliners or on. You know that's
my speed, dude, cause I'm first one to hear, last
one to lead. That's the way a festival should be.
You want to learn the new bands, not just the ones,
you know. Yeah, I love when people say, hey, oh,
(07:24):
my favorite band's not playing now, I don't want to go, dude,
they go to their concert. That's the real show. Go
to festivals to discover new bands.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Absolutely, and the fact that Bloodstock has a tent for
unsigned bands competing here is like that's really special to me.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Medal to the Masses is like the most awesome thing.
You know what else, It's awesome.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Miss what you got there?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The Sophie langcat, Oh yeah, amazing, like you know the
story right.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Absolutely we need that in the US.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, because all of us have experienced what she did,
except we're still here, bully beat up all that stuff.
We need to make it normal to be okay, to
not be normal.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Absolutely, and I think I feel like in Europe, I mean,
I think it's maybe leading a little bit with that
right now, but we are extremely honored to play the
Sylphie Lancaster stage because of.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That exactly, and a lot are yeah. So give us
all your socials how to connect with you and most importantly,
how to buy your merch, because they can't listen to
my show unless they buy your merch.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
That's a good rule to have, right.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
The best way to support the band is on frailband
dot com. Are we spend a lot of time and
energy building an amazing website for everybody night so you
can get normal merch there, but as you also get
like drumheads and symbols and things from tour gear that
we use in the studio, like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So we try to dig a little deeper on our
web store and then our socials. Instagram is at frail
band Facebook I think is frail band and that's frail
spelled fr y no.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
F r a y l E.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I hope you can know how I've spent and I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:59):

on feelings there.
Speaker 2 (09:03):

and like you guys, kick ass and I love that
you're here at Bloodstock.
