Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi, you have lunto Yes, that's true.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
For see Wow, crazy Young.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe
Man W four C Y Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
And I'm here with Lockhorn's. My name's Alex. I am Reese.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Nice here at Bloodstock.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
How does that feel?

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Fucking great? Mine, It's great to be boxed. We were
here back in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Wow, it's been a while.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, and then the world ended for a while. Yeah,
and we're very thankful.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
You guys got a new album that's going to be dropping.
And what I really like about the new album is
that you have added an element of experimental and I'm
all about that because tell you a funny story, I
was a kid playing guitar and my dad's like, you
should give that up, you stuck. I'm like, I'm just

(00:58):
experement with it. I want to hear what sounds I
can make a I want to create something that hasn't
been done before. And that's the way I look at
your new album.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
We're trying to that's it we're doing. Man. You know,
we're in an experiment.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
We're trying to see what emotional tones we can get
out of the instruments and the same with the vocals
and more tripped out. The more experimental it is, the
more I feel like I can express myself and feel
like I'm more in touch with my own down.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
And you know, basically, if you're an artist, you don't
want to play the same as you did as a
garage man. You want to constantly evolve and perfect your craft.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
And like Ali said.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
In interview one time, when they ask why bring me
to Rise and it keeps changing things up, he goes,
while I want to write the same song over and
over again.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
We're all about writing the music that we want to
listen to. Right, we're massive Michuga funds and everyone is,
so you can probably hear.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
That influence coming in a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
But at the same time, our influences do change, like
almost weekly at this point. Like Fake Kublai is a
big one for us at the minute. I think that's
very different to Michuga. Yeah, so it's all just about
what we're feeling at the time, what sort of riffs
are coming to mind.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
But yeah, we just write what we like.

Speaker 6 (02:13):
See.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I love that because that makes you a true musician. Yeah,
because I find there's a lot of metal bands nowadays
that they follow like a formula. Yeah, metal is not
a formula type of music, so to me, that says
no offense to them. But if you're falling formula, do
you really know your craft or are you just going through? Okay,

(02:38):
if I do this, this and this.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yeah, I felt like more like in the eighties and
the nineties, metals had more of sort of a punk
rock essence to it.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
You know. There wasn't this.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Sort of strict like makes everything sound.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Really you know like this, and it was more.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
It was wilder and it was free and stuff, you know,
And that's I think a lot of our influences come
from that, just making things as alive as possible.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Since you mentioned the eighties, that's my battle vest from
nineteen eighty one.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Well, very nice. I can smell it from here, man.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
And you'll see exactly what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
We have GBH and Metallica, I have all kinds of
punk and metal.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
All over here. Yeah. Yeah, that's it because that's the
way it was. We're trying to bring it back right,
And I.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Think that's cool because you know, it's funny you brought
that up because I've said before, Like you go back
to the eighties, there wasn't so many genres of metal.
There weren't so many bands, and they all sounded different.
Even it was a big time fresh metal head, the
Big four Fresh don't sound anything alike.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the way it should be.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, But nowadays you have bands like, let's say they're
in metalcore. They metal core has to sound like this,
death core has to sound like this, and you just
go through each one of these little micro sub genres here. Yeah,
it's like you're putt in this box. Artists should never
be in a box.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, we don't really put it in a box, but
we'll try to make it, keep it proggy and highly
highly emotional stuff too, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
But I'm down to get weird with it and get
ar two with it, you know exactly.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
We're right what we want and then whatever people want
to label it as, that's fine.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Like we don't label it as anything, Barla.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
I love that so because I hate labels, says again,
you're an artist. What if you want to play like
you were imaging before. But if you're in this vibe
and you want to write this, you want to play this,
that to me is a true musician and a true
artist exactly.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Like like I said, we'll like funny you say that.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Like a couple weeks ago, we started working on a
new song and it's basically Animals as leaders. It's like
completely different than what the latest album would have been. Like,
so it's really just where our tists are lying at
the time. You know, Yeah, I think we're what we're
listening to.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
So absolutely.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
So what was that one moment that you knew this
is what you need to do, Like that one moment
when you were younger you decided music is my life.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I grew up around it, to be honest, Like my
mom teaches piano, my dad used to be a guitar teacher.
He was in Bonds and all growing up. My brother
does music too, So it was just always there.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
It was almost like not like you.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Had to do it, but it wasna like you had
no choice.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
But it took over everything, took over my life. So
it's all I think about. Really, he's being a musician.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I love it. Yeah, pretty much same here. I grew
up listening to my parents' records.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
I always had a good sound system in the house,
and my mother was an art teacher too, so there
was already a sort of an.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Arty kind of element to it.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
I think the moment it really clicked was when I
first heard Korn for the first time on MTV. You know,
I hadn't heard anything that heavy before, and I hadn't
heard anything so new sounding as well, you know, and
it was just fresh.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
It took off, you know.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
From there I got into like loads of slip Nott
and then from then it grew from metal and went
growing into the other genres and started to get an
appreciation for hip hob and then is everything really you know.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
See, And that's cool too, because back in the early
eighties mid eighties we weren't allowed to do that. It's
like if you were a long hair which I was,
I wasn't allowed to go to punk shows right you
get your ass beat right, and vice versa. And it
was stupid. Why should you only like one type of music?

(06:28):
I don't get that. If you like music, music is music.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
I think I was a bit like that when I
first heard metal, though, I was like, for like the
next five years, I didn't listen to anything else. I
was like, everything else is crap and old metal is
where it's at something like I definitely on that face
at one stage.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
It's like, but I think we all did, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
But now I just want to find more new stuff
I've never heard before, like I have, Like there's so
many bonds coming out these days that do not sound
like anyone from the past. I couldn't link them to
anyone from the past. Like I don't make anyone soigns likes.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Unique.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Nobody even has his voice, yeah, definitely don't. Like I've
never in all these years heard a band that had
his voice.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeah, because he's not voice, and then you have the guitarist.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
It's that this type of voice as well, and like
that combination, like it is what makes them knocklus it's
somebody else as well, Like certain things we do makes
us who we are.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
So yeah, Like even you got the bands like Eye
Prevailing stuff to have the dirty vocals, clean vocals in
the eighties that didn't exist, and we went and I
thought it was weird, ye you know that have any
clean vocals, but I love it. Or like you have
bands like Ginger where she's got this brutal voice but

(07:45):
then this very melodic, feminine voice, and I love that too.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
That I could potentially lend us to.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
And the only band I've heard of science somewhat like
Lockhorns is Ginger.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Nice out door Ginger like so good.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh yeah, they're fucking amazing.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Right, trying to get a show with them next year,
So frenger scroll.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Let's put that out there right And we're gonna put
that out there right now. So how do people reach
out to you? On socials on the web? Check out
all your stuff, buy your merch because they can't listen

Speaker 5 (08:27):

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Is there anything you want to tell the listeners that
we haven't covered already that they need to know that's
coming up?

Speaker 5 (08:37):
Just be expectant, That's all I'll say.

Speaker 2 (08:39):

Speaker 6 (08:56):
Michelle Kerr was my press officer, my entire fucking career
here in the UK, my entire career with Machine. She
recently passed away and it was a very, very sad day.
And I can tell you the reason that I'm gonna
tell this story is because she was family. She was

(09:19):
Bloodstock family. She was heavy metal UK family. Most of
the hass that you know and love, you probably heard
of because of that woman right there. Slip Knots, Slayer, Machinehead,
Trivium kills which engage, hey breed, you name it. She

(09:43):
helped lift everybody up. Man. She helped lift everybody up,
and in so many ways, she helped make this entire
music scene, this incredible, beautiful community that lives here at Bloodstock. Man,
she helped make it. So, ladies and gentlemen, please make
of noise from Michelle Kerr.
