How we doing. We're good?
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Yeah, yeah, it's the morning the but you slept on
a bus? Yeah yeah yeah, but the show was good
last night. Yeah, I would imagine that this time out. Well,
let me back up for a second. I learned during
the break before we even went on. DC's the first
place you guys played ever.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
In the States?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yes, sir, Yes, how was that?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
If I swear to God, if you call me sir
one more time, I swear to God.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Eli the.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
So, but I mean just totally by happenstance. And so
we looked it up. You were opening for Blossoms Blossoms, right,
and you played the Rock and Roll Hotel?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And what year was that? Did we figure out what
you twenty nineteen?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Right?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
And had you ever been to d C before? Had
you been to the States before?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yes? I had never, You had never. The guys in
the bond had never been.
Speaker 6 (01:00):
So it's like our first time it was it was like, yeah,
it was like experiencing it again?
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Was it? Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Like for Examp, I've never been to Dublin.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Right now, I was going to open for a band
and the tour fell apart the but was it like, so,
first time you get off a plane and you were here,
did you love it?
Speaker 7 (01:16):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (01:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah it's intoxicating in the best way.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Right, yeah. The but so you go back.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
So that's the Rock and Roll Hotel in twenty nineteen,
not that long ago. The trajectory for you guys has
been pretty nice.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, it's been amazing.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
We've been very very blessed with like just I think
we just don't say no to anything that it does.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
But I mean, but if you throw stuff in there, like,
it's not like the world shut down for a couple
of years. Also, so if you if you even shortened
that that little time span up to go from opening
at at the at the Rock and Roll Hotel, and
I know that the couple of times that you guys
have come through, you've done the nine thirty Club and
then you'll be at the Anthem tonight. The run over
(02:00):
a pretty short amount of time. Yeah, has been pretty
has been pretty nice.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, I know, trying to make sense of it still.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, so it but does it does it feel like
it's going fast?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
No? Because we started playing when we were like thirteen together,
you know, and that was like such a long period
of time. Like I think of the band in different stages.
I remember like before or like management, and we were
touring and everything when we were just kids. That was
like kind of supporting people, and then we put out
the album and then everything.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
After that feels like another blur.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
So it feels like we've been doing this for way
longer than I've been on this earth, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
But the like, so when you're thirteen and you guys
are just deciding that you're gonna put a put a
band together, the was it just like was it just
to have I didn't I mean this in a nice way.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Was it just to have a stupid band?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Or was it like, yeah, we're gonna do something and
we're gonna like, we're gonna turn this into.
Speaker 8 (02:54):
Something The dream was to keep it as stupid or
for as long as possible.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But yeah, like at thirteen, are you going like we're
gonna be the biggest band in the world or at
thirteen or is it just like I.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Think, like weirdly in the back of your head, like
you always always hope, but then like you're always just like, yeah,
you never know how it's gonna happen, So you're just
kind of playing music.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
For we also just like the same music.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
And like at our age, not a lot of kids
were listening to Nirvana or Pixies, right, So just gravitated
towards each other in that way. And then when we
were sixteen, Josh, our guitar player, joined, and so that's
oh Jesus Christ, nearly ten years ago.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
And did it? Did it everyone? Like, like you said,
Josh joined a couple of years later. Was everybody at
the same school like Saint Andrew's comes up all the time?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It, but Josh wasn't in that school to get your.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Stuff, It's not hard to figure that one out, Thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, so he wasn't he No, he wasn't.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
He gets really annoyed when people say he's from that school.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Why why is that? Like is that not a good school?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
No? No, it is. He went to Newark.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh is that where the rich kids went?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
No, we were, and that's why he gets.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So then it like, at what point?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
At what point though, is it does it go from
like we're just a bunch of stupid kids who are
thirteen to like, oh, so we're really going to try
to do something.
Speaker 9 (04:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
I think when we left we call it secondary school.
You guys call it high high school. Right, So when
we left that, we kind of said we give it
a crack for a year, and.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Everybody was like, that's insane. We'll support you.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And everybody being like family and stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, friends were kind of just like cool
your thing.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah yeah, oh, I would imagine friends were totally into it,
Yeah for sure, but friends were jealous serious, no, no,
But if it's like your family's going to support you
to go out and be in a band versus go
to school right away, who wouldn't take the life of
a band.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I mean, I don't know how bad good or bad
it is.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
I think we're also just too good at most other
things were not choice. But no, we all we all
finished high school and you know, got college courses, just
deferred them for a year and and luckily that that
year paid off and yeah, we're still here.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And so what was the what's the moment though, that
you were all able to go home and go not
gonna go like it's we took a year, we took
our gap year or whatever whatever it's called.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
There, probably when we got managers.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
Yeah maybe, and then we thought, okay, maybe maybe we
could actually do this.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I don't know. There's been a couple of those.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Pretty the year and then yeah, and then we the
record deal happened not long after that.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, that's somewhere of twenty nineteen. Let's say, is.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Dublin is Dublin hard to get?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I don't want to say noticed then, But do you
do you have to leave Dublin, like when you when
you talk about getting managers and working on a record,
do you have to get out of Ireland?
Speaker 6 (05:54):
I think I think maybe, like in the last ten
years probably, I think we were fairly lucky. We got
this opening support for a band called the Academic, like
early on when we didn't have any managers or anything
that was in London, we met a few people there,
so that was like a great thing. But I think
now it was like there's so many great bands coming
(06:14):
out of Ireland, Like there's apparently people going over looking
for like bands now and artists.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
So is it back then was it like there needed
to be one big person for everybody else to get noticed? Uh?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Yeah, Like I'd say, you'd want like a kind of
label rep to like come over, and they wouldn't really
do that, would they.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
No?
Speaker 8 (06:35):
Yeah, no, we were. We went scouting everybody. They weren't
scouting roles.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
When it was time to write the record. Not not
this one, the first one. So when you guys figure that.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Out hard or easy?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Harder than well, yeah, difficult circumstances because the pandemic had
just happened, and so you know, we kind of were left.
There was no chance of any gigs happening, so just
left to right and we were very lucky that, you know,
we were able to travel for work, right, you know,
to go and record that in London and did that
(07:11):
over the course of a few months.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
But we had most like we had most of our
songs from that album already because we've been playing them.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
For years since you were thirteen.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Yeah, literally, So it's like our friends all knew the songs,
like some of the fans that like if there were
any at the time, where like they knew the songs
and stuff. So it was kind of just like piecing
it together and getting like a cohesive thing together.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But it was a strange environment.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, because I feel like, at least in reading,
I feel like you guys have done a really good
job in terms of being smart or just stupid smart
where it's been a cross between going out and doing
your own thing, like doing your own shows. But you've
also and I don't know how it works out, I
don't know how it gets put out together, but you've
also done a good job of when you go out
(07:58):
in support of somebody else to talking about the Rock
and Roll Hotel show, which is great, it got you
over in the States.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
That's awesome, But I feel like you guys have also.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Been really smart or good enough to be selected to
go out with some bands that are definitely gonna put
eyes on you.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Right, Yeah, well that's that's I think the pathway for
bands is like you get a support and then yeah,
if it's right with the right audience, it can just
like you know, we really we love like having new
bands on as well. This band that supported us in
the UK, they're really good to called Permanent Joy, right,
But like I think we had to cancel our last
Manchester gig a couple of weeks ago because I was
(08:34):
really sick and we canceled the show last minute. Felt terrible,
but they were like they put up a story being like,
hey we're gonna play like a gig in Manchester tonight
sold out in like two seconds. Oh really Yeah, they
had like a great you know what I mean? So
like there's that kind of energy going on.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I think because like I you know, if you look
back Kings, Leon, Pearl, Jam, Harry Styles, like that's that's
a decent that's a decent group to get your get
eyes from you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's range, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Where where where do you?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
And And the answer may be for all of them,
but like for Range, where where do you? Because nobody
knows what to label you as? Which I think is great.
I think that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I think it's great.
But where it is Pearl, Jam, Kings, Leon, Harry Styles,
Where where where's the comfort spot?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Like honestly, we we we never have these types of conversations.
That's always been interviews and we're like, yeah, we should
think about that. But also I think one of the
beautiful things about making music for us is like the
kind of freedom of it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And we've always just kind of let the.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Songs do their thing and we just kind of like
stand in the background, right. We don't like there's not
a set of effects pedals that we use strictly or
like you know, we don't wear like you know, we
don't have rules on what kind of clothes we wear.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It's not there's no like genre defining, right.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I do. I think that's awesome. I do. I think
that's great.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I wonder from the business side of it, are there,
like you mentioned, are.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Their managers, are their record labels, and they definitely.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So they can market a bit more effectively.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And then but so so I mentioned going out with styles,
the guys that you did this record with the producer, Yeah,
everybody makes a big deal. Like I don't live in
that world, but everybody makes a big deal about what's
a kid harpoon? Right, everybody makes a big deal about
him and what he does when it's time to make
a record.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And the first two you did with somebody else?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Is that is that like when it switched time, Like
I'm assuming the other guy was pissed.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I you know, it's we have like the most beautiful
relationship with him because he's like he's on the management
as well. He's the first guy to kind of like
he took us into a studio and like kind of
showed us like how like goes and stuff, and we
recorded like the first tracks with him and it became
a kind of like almost he's like our uncle or something. Right,
(11:05):
So then I think when it came to like the
third album, he was like, I think you guys should
try something different, Like I think it's time for because
he's in the management.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I think he had that perspective on.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
It, so you didn't have to call him and go, hey, yeah,
he sucks to be here. He was.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Welcom's a very necessary thing as well for artists to
switch up who the choicer is going to be.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I think so because you know, you hear certain records.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
That have been done with the same artists for like
seven or eight nine albums or something, and eventually it's
kind of just like you know, you need to learn
different things from different people and take what you've learned
in the past.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
We kind of see it as like going to college
because none of us went to college, right, It's like
you learn from we learned all we had to learn from.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And now it's time for us to get a job.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Graduating.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
So if you've been doing this since thirteen, neither of
you have ever had a job, well, I mean, obviously
you have.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
It is one, but this is it.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
You never like you never you never made a sandwich
in a restaurant.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, No, made a sandwich at home.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's quite different. It is quite different.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
You get food poisoning from the sandwiches i'd make.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
So if this thing falls apart, you guys are screwed.
You have no redeeming ability to do anything else.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Thank you, he might be I'd be screwed.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
The all right, So let's get back to the tour.
So so you're out on you're out on the road.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You'll go through.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I think it's a couple more weeks that the that
that that the tour goes is coming to the US.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Is it? Is it hard?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
It's amazing, Honestly, I'm not lying like it's it's the
best one on tour. It's not really hard. It's it's
like the drives are long. But we're at a place
now where we've got bus. We're not in a vine, right.
I could imagine doing those drives in a van like
some of the support puns too. It's like that's at
like a permanent neck like this.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
But so like when you when you came through the
last time we were doing nine thirty, were you in
a bus then?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh man, oh that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
That's what you got, that fancy thing that you have
over cho Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
What is that.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Nelson's improved in Haylor? Uh, I don't even know. Gary
can tell me where we got it. He's the tour manager.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
But but but I've never seen something like that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's just from my voice.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
It's just like a steam like you know, like a
uh just like you can get these things in the
pharmacy that like you put hot water in.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
And you just it's just you know, the other thing
and listen, you do you But if you go around
the corner, I don't they don't have him in Dublin,
but there's a place called seven eleven Marlborough. You're thrown
up immediately. So anyway the US run will end. Then
(13:58):
I know you're going and doing a bunch of stuff.
What is how how significant when you get home to
play Saint Ann's Park?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
How significant a show will that be?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
God? Like, the biggest thing we've ever done?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Really?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (14:10):
This is the biggest show that we've ever announced. So
you know, there's nerves, but there's also a sense of like,
you know, bring it on, let's come.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
On, biggest show. I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
No, I was just gonna say, I think it's worse when, like,
at least in America we can pretend to be all
cool and stuff because we don't know many of the
people here. But in Dublin, everybody like your brothers in
the crowd giving you the finger.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
So yeah, you can't really like, yeah, why are you
singing like that? You never say yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
When you say when when you say biggest show, not
crowd wise, you've played in front of crowds bigger than that,
the biggest show that we have, your show for yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Oh that's awesome. Yeah, oh I like that. Now, when you.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
When you were younger, did you go see a bunch
of shows at Saint Anne's Park.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No, I've actually never been been. I've never been north.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
So we're from the south side of Dublin and it's
on the north side.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Wait, so I have to the north side? Is Josh
from the north side and you got He's okay, that's
the poor side. No one's yeah, I didn't say that, but.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You've been there before.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Well yeah, so my mom is from there, so it's
like it's right, it's it's in Raheey, which is like
it's beautiful park. It's just like a park, right you
and they've thrown gigs on it now. I don't think
they've done it.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
It has been going you know, there has been gigs
happening there for too long. It's like, I think it's
relatively new, and you know Pope just played there and
old Gallagher just played there, so you know, I have
high expectations that will hopefully be.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
A good show, but nervous, nervous in a good way.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, that will be like is that where everybody like
this is where everybody's coming out to see their their
buddies who made it.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Hope, well hope Will it be more nerve racking than
the Workmen's.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Club back in the d Actually that's a good point.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Yeah, Workman's is like tough because you can see if
people are getting bored, Like you can see their eyeballs,
you know what I mean, if they like yawned. At
least in Satan's if you squint your eyes you can
kind of you know.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
But I remember I read something about you guys going
back and playing and I don't know, I don't know
Stan's from Workmen's. Workman's Club, you could send me to one.
I think it's the other done your research, but the
but I read somewhere where like that the show at
the Workmen's Club when you guys we were much younger,
was like the first time you showed up somewhere and
it wasn't Yeah you have friends there and stuff and
(16:39):
they're flipping you off in the whole thing. But people
are singing your songs and you're like, oh my god,
like they're singing our music.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Yeah, it was very cool. Crazy, that's a silly songs
arrel singing it.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The because I know, like when this ends, like then
you'll go off.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I know you're a couple of lollapaloozas and some festivals
and stuff like that fun or no, like would you
rather be out doing your own thing or is that
a fun?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Right?
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Very different, you know, it's a it's a very different thing.
And say, it's nice at festivals to like run into
people who you've you know, met down through the years
and you know, shoot it with them.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
A little bit.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
And also it's just a nice challenge to try and
see if you can win some more people over.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I suppose, right, especially is it is it competitive amongst
the bands I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I don't really think so, don't mean we're not.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I don't get the sense that would.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
You know, Yeah, I don't know, like it's uh, I
think it's more. I don't think it's like competitive in
a sense of like I want to get one over you.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I think it's just like we're all just trying to survive.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Right, just trying to go out do your thing and
perform his best. Yet you can. But you said, get
more eyes on you, and they.
Speaker 8 (17:56):
Think we're competitive with ourselves. You know, whoever's on before
you at a festival. Oh, you're just watching them, just
going okay, gotta step up my game for this one.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
That's good. Yeah, oh that's good. All right, let's do this.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Give me a quick break and Hailer is in concert
tonight at the Anthem.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Take a quick break. It's Elliott in.

some more stuff. Are we ready?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:18):

With the setup? But it just works like this?
Speaker 10 (18:28):

Speaker 9 (21:57):
There ain't a sharp enough knife cut me out of
your life.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
I'm going to your house tonight. Uh it's going up.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
House and Hilary is with us Eli and Ryan.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
By the way, the video for that song, dude, that
video is awesome.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Oh I cracked my rib on the videos?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Did you really?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I was gonna say two things.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Number One, you look like crap in the video the
but what is that What is that contraption that they
have you in.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
They built like a hamster wheel or something, which was
doing in like a week. I don't know how they
did it, but it was just like a big briefcase
on stilts or something.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Right, and so they like I also watched the like
the behind the scenes thing for the video and you're right,
like they're moving it from side to side, you are
flying all over the place.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Did you really break a rib? Yep, you cracked it.
I wouldn't say break, but yeah, actually cracked the rib.
Because then I remember we were on tour at the time,
this is in October, and we're singing and just feeling
like something's not right, like I can't get the full breath,
and yeah, went to the doctor and he just literally
(23:27):
touched the spot first thing he did, and he was like, yeah,
you're you're screwed.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
And then ribs. There's nothing you can just to get
on with it. Yeah, then you're done.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
The the other thing in that video, whose blue car
is that?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Not?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Our car is badass, it's old, but that car is awesome.
Speaker 12 (23:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
The guy who the guy who owned it, was on
set and he was not happy it the way our
keyboard player was driving the car. He was like watching
very close then that the girl was throwing the suit.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
K is quite close to it, and he was Yeah,
he's freaking out.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I want to say, does it she hit it? At
one point?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
You can only do that once.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Yeah, I think left a minor dent dedication to the part.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
So the record, the record is is a month old.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I'm assuming you guys are very happy with it.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yes, yes, I'm assuming the I know the critic response
to it has been good. Has the as like now
that we're doing shows and playing it live, is the
audience response to it been what you were hoping.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It would be and more?
Speaker 13 (24:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Like the second album, I feel like it was harder
to convince our funds that it was like the new way.
But this this feels like like we're changing the encore
for the first time ever. We've always ended with Honest Face,
which is the biggest song, and this time we're like
ending on new stuff. So and like it's going down well.
It doesn't feel like we have to convince people, right.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Is the is the does everybody does everybody still live
at home? Does everybody everybody still lives at their at
their own house? Yeah, we all still live in Dublin,
but like at your parents house. Yeah, seriously, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I was, you know, we trouvel so much. There's no
point right now.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Oh you know what, that's a that's a good way
to look at it. That's good.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You know, it's like you don't want to pay rent
for somewhere that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
What you're you're the smart one. Good for you.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
That is a first I it'll be the last.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
But I was reading about the writing of the of
the record and we we we talked to you. You
had a different producer and when you went in to
record it and everything was different.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Was the writing for this one different?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Knowing that the trajectory is kind of keeps going up
and up and up.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I think there's definitely a bit of pressure.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, more so with the second one because
we had more time to polls. I think the second
was like we were just still going. So it felt
like one point five.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
In a way.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Uh, but like, yeah, this time we went home to
me a lot of time home.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
We had like ten months off of doing any gigs
from November twenty twenty three to August of last year,
and so that was kind of a blessing because we
hadn't had that chunk of time ever before.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I was gonna say, does that feel like a lifetime
to have ten months off?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah? It did at the time, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
But it was all worth it because you know, we
were just it was just the four of us again,
like we were teenagers. Whereas I think we've kind of
I think we've kind of said that the first two
albums in a way sort of feel like the same
album because we never stopped touring for about like two
and a half three years or something, and in that
(26:38):
time the second album was done. So this is this
kind of feels like the first real departure and return
that we've ever had.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I think as a band.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Has the relationship amongst all four of you changed since
you were thirteen.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, it's gotten worse.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
It's actually stayed quite the same in weird ways. We
definitely fight less than we did when we were that age.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Less in terms of none of you have been in
a fist.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Fight with each other, not fists, but we've gone close
really no, well not me, not me and him.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
No, we really like each other.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Actually, but nobody, nobody has swung at the other one.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No, not between you two, but any of you.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
No, No, that would be I just feel like it's
hard to come back from that, you know what I mean.
I think everybody knows like once something like that happens,
he can't be friends.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Some of us have a lot of buttons and some
of us have a lot of fingers.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Are you more button or finger?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I'm both?
Speaker 8 (27:38):
Man, I'm very annoying and very irritable as well.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
He's button, he's But are you finger?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I'd say I definitely have a lot. I'd say I'm
both as well. Yeah, yeah, we're both. That's why we're
a match man, haven't.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
So?
Speaker 4 (27:55):
But it's it's it's no different than I don't want
to say everybody else, but everybody gets along.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
It hasn't changed everybody's good.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
But yeah, I mean you still push each other's buttons
as each other offship.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
And honestly, is the best that it ever has I
think honestly, because I think, especially with last year, having
all that time off, I think we regained a lot
more stability in our own individual lives, and we weren't.
You know, sometimes you can maybe feel like you don't
have any freedom as an individual when you tour as
(28:28):
much as we do, right, And I think we just
when we regained that sense of freedom and we were
just writing together and just enjoying spending time with each
other again, It's just like you know, I think that
seeped its way into the music room making.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's why we love this album so much.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Do you still write in the Are you still like
up in the middle of the night right and all
the time?
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Ye?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, and you're but you've been like that since you
were uh an itty bitty little kid, like just up
all night.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Well yeah I have yeah. Actually did you know that? Yeah,
because you probably said it. Well.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
My mom used to find me like at the TV
at like four in the morning when I was like seven,
just watching like INFO commercials.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Most disres like what is wrong with this child?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But now so same thing.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
When you're upriting, you're up till the What I had
read was is that you'd start writing in the middle
of the night and you would figure, you know what,
I probably need to take a break.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
When two things would happen.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
The sun would come up and your dad would come
march downstairs like uh.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Oh yeah, well once he was up to yeah, I
got to bed.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, head up. Yeah, yeah, time to head up.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
The other thing I like that Going back rund real
quickly to what you were saying, is I feel like
with you guys, there is this internal push where it
is like, whether it's it's switching a producer and doing
something different.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
You kind of mentioned it a little bit when it
was festival time.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Is this this push where we everything we do has
to be better so nobody thinks we're skating.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Right right right, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
Yeah, I think I think we're just we've always said
that we're like not afraid to be or feel ambitious,
and I think, you know, we are constantly just trying
to push ourselves because we've said recently that if we
were at all and tomorrow, we wouldn't be satisfied. Yeah,
we've had some of the most insane things happened to
us and experiences lived. But if this was it, you know,
(30:23):
it feels like so much more to do. There's so
much more to do. Yeah, the what what's what?
Speaker 4 (30:29):
A couple of things that at the top of that
list right now, not in terms of the ambition of
what you've done.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Oh hmmm, your list is probably different to mine.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Isn't it. Maybe I don't know what's on your list.
That's the Square Garden, Well that would be that would
be pretty cool.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
Yeah, I think I think A very proud moment for
all of us. I think was a gig that we
did in Dublin just over a year ago or so.
It was in the Three Arena in Dublin, and that
was where I went to see my first show, and
then when we did it on our own, I was
kind of like, you know, pretty moved and blown away
(31:09):
by that experience.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But I think we've done those are things. Getting the
chance to put out our first album.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
You know, you never thought at thirteen you'd actually do
it right, you know, got gotten the chance to meet
some of our heroes, and you know.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Just still haven't met Dave Girl. Though I haven't met
Dave Girl yet.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
How have you not met Dave Girl? Just throw that
from here? How have you not met da It's funny,
I know.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I have a theory though that he's really really busy
a lot of the time. I'm doing lots of things,
and funnily like we're quite busy as well.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Right, So do you think is doing an interview right now?
He's like I haven't met Thedan Hailer kid.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Definitely not.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
To be sure.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Girls Fast Asleep wrapped him.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
So wait, yours is so but ambitious wise, Eliz, yours
would be to play the garden.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Uh, yeah, that'd be great. I think.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
I'm uh, I just I think, just keep on trying
to make the the album that's gonna satisfy you. It
was probably never probably never happened, but like you know,
you want to get I think every time we get
a little bit closer to like being like you know
exactly what you envision it to be. I think, Yeah,
it's the constant thing of just chasing yourself.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Just keep rolling.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Yeah, can I can I pay you a compliment for
a second if you want the the the When I
go back to of you talking about how it's just
push push push, I feel like people people that know
they know who your dad is, right, and for people
that don't know your dad's bona yes is when you
(32:48):
talked and this goes back years where you talked about
I don't want to be the guy in the band
who thinks everything was handed to me because I have
a dad who's in the same business and his okay.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
For himself right.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
But the one thing that I like and and I
love this is that it is you almost have to
work harder so that they don't go, oh, you know what,
these four kids caught a break because his dad that
you have to be able to go out and go no, no, no, no,
no whatever. He does his thing, But I have to
be able to stand on my own. We have to
be able to stand on our own and not just
(33:25):
be okay that.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
That's why I've flawed that.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
I think.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I think that's really special, you know.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Like people always think it anyway, so it doesn't matter really,
But like I think for us like knowing ourselves that
we we haven't like just like breezed through things, because
we really haven't, like, if I'm being honest, like we've
we put in a really like a long graph for
a lot of years. And I think just for our
own kind of self worth, it's like knowing that we
(33:52):
just actually can stand on our two feet and be
a good burnt.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Right, that's important.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
And then like you said, yes, you don't what people
may think that, but you know what, if you ever
wanted to play the garden, God knows, there was plenty
of opportunity to go open and play the garden.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
But he's not going to hand that to you. No, No,
I mean he couldn't. Like you can't convince many people
to buy tickets.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
That's the thing.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
Like they might come once, but if they don't like it,
you know, you can't like napo them to come.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Back or something.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
If that argument had any way too, it would probably
be a lot bigger than.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
We actually are.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
But the only thing that actually is important is you know,
you have to have good songs and you have to
be able to play your instrument. You don't have those,
people aren't going to come and see you.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Right, And that's what I think makes the trajectory that
much more special, is that you guys are you're fighting
and we're doing it.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
The other thing for us was like we weren't gonna
like I think it was really important to like not
be like, oh but we're our own interesting people like
don't ask us about that, because I think we all knew,
like growing up in Dublin, Like I think people like
to keep you humble and like, you know, know where
you came from sort of things. So it's like if
(35:03):
you're slappy, Yeah, we never wanted to like pretend like
it well didn't wasn't there you know what I mean,
Like if if you wanted to ask a question about it,
like far away, it's like that's what I would be
asking if I was the interviewer, right, So that was
never like I think there is definitely like an air
of people are like, oh, maybe he's like sensitive to
talk about it, but.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Well, you know what I mean, I'll be honest. I
feel that way.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, but because you want.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
To be respectful, this isn't It's not them being in
here or anything.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I mean, listen, I'll be honest with you. I like
inhler more than I like you too.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
I'm not lying to Yeah, he's made of.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
So.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
So you'll finish this run, you'll go back, you'll do
the you do, you do some of the festivals. Then
you have the big show in Dubble, which I hope
is awesome. I hope it is just a wave of
people going crazy and go a nuts and then what
is like what what happens beyond that?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Do you guys even know yet?
Speaker 6 (36:04):
And there's lots of festivals. Yeah, we're doing Glastonbury. I
think that's an answer.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
So that'll be we get to stay the weekend of Glastonbury.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
We've never been able to do crazy.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
I think our schedule is like taking us up to
kind of like the end of July ish or something,
and right, and now there's a discussions happening about what
happens after that, So I think we'll be going this
year somewhat up until mid to like November or something.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Oh that's great, but for you, I wish you guys
had a day off in d C.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
I know we go get an airbnb, we said out
to go get weed.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Experience that man. So I know a guy he told
me out of a job. Now maybe one of the
dumbest things you've ever done. They won't let me forget
about it every time.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Can we tell that story real quick? First night in
d C?
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Right, we mentioned the first place you guys play is
in d C and the States.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
You guys, you're not.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Gonna get arrested for this, No.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
No, are you kidding? The first night in.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
They get an airbnb and some guy is walking by
and is he's a comedian or he's.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
A traveling comedian, And he was like, can I tell
you a few jokes? And if you liked him. You
can throw some money my way. He said, oh, that
sounds great, but we're from Ireland. We just got her
with no cash. And he was like, okay, all right,
that's cool, that's cool. Do you want to buy some weed?
We said yes, of course, and uh yeah, And then
(37:36):
two the guys like me and Louis went with this
guy and and his friend, who was this lovely woman.
I can't remember her name. She was an interesting character.
And and the rest of the guys went back into
the house.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
And I love that rest of the band right back
in See you.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Later, Strangers, is wrong, Yeah, if I remember correctly listening, thank

place you guys played ever.

In the States?

Speaker 4 (00:34):
So, but I mean just totally by happenstance. And so
we looked it up. You were opening for Blossoms Blossoms, right,
and you played the Rock and Roll Hotel?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And what year was that? Did we figure out what
you twenty nineteen?
Speaker 5 (00:47):

And had you ever been to d C before? Had
you been to the States before?

Yes? I had never, You had never. The guys in
the bond had never been.
Speaker 6 (01:00):
So it's like our first time it was it was like, yeah,

Oh?
Speaker 8 (01:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah it's intoxicating in the best way.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Right, yeah. The but so you go back.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
So that's the Rock and Roll Hotel in twenty nineteen,
not that long ago. The trajectory for you guys has
been pretty nice.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, it's been amazing.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
We've been very very blessed with like just I think
we just don't say no to anything that it does.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
But I mean, but if you throw stuff in there, like,
it's not like the world shut down for a couple
of years. Also, so if you if you even shortened
that that little time span up to go from opening
at at the at the Rock and Roll Hotel, and
I know that the couple of times that you guys
have come through, you've done the nine thirty Club and
then you'll be at the Anthem tonight. The run over
(02:00):
a pretty short amount of time. Yeah, has been pretty
has been pretty nice.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, I know, trying to make sense of it still.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, so it but does it does it feel like
it's going fast?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
No? Because we started playing when we were like thirteen together,
you know, and that was like such a long period
of time. Like I think of the band in different stages.
I remember like before or like management, and we were
touring and everything when we were just kids. That was
like kind of supporting people, and then we put out
the album and then everything.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
After that feels like another blur.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
So it feels like we've been doing this for way
longer than I've been on this earth, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
But the like, so when you're thirteen and you guys
are just deciding that you're gonna put a put a
band together, the was it just like was it just
to have I didn't I mean this in a nice way.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Was it just to have a stupid band?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Or was it like, yeah, we're gonna do something and
we're gonna like, we're gonna turn this into.
Speaker 8 (02:54):
Something The dream was to keep it as stupid or
for as long as possible.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
But yeah, like at thirteen, are you going like we're
gonna be the biggest band in the world or at
thirteen or is it just like I.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Think, like weirdly in the back of your head, like
you always always hope, but then like you're always just like, yeah,
you never know how it's gonna happen, So you're just
kind of playing music.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
For we also just like the same music.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
And like at our age, not a lot of kids
were listening to Nirvana or Pixies, right, So just gravitated
towards each other in that way. And then when we
were sixteen, Josh, our guitar player, joined, and so that's
oh Jesus Christ, nearly ten years ago.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
And did it? Did it everyone? Like, like you said,
Josh joined a couple of years later. Was everybody at
the same school like Saint Andrew's comes up all the time?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It, but Josh wasn't in that school to get your.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Stuff, It's not hard to figure that one out, Thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, so he wasn't he No, he wasn't.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
He gets really annoyed when people say he's from that school.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Why why is that? Like is that not a good school?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
No? No, it is. He went to Newark.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh is that where the rich kids went?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
No, we were, and that's why he gets.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So then it like, at what point?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
At what point though, is it does it go from
like we're just a bunch of stupid kids who are
thirteen to like, oh, so we're really going to try
to do something.
Speaker 9 (04:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
I think when we left we call it secondary school.
You guys call it high high school. Right, So when
we left that, we kind of said we give it
a crack for a year, and.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Everybody was like, that's insane. We'll support you.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And everybody being like family and stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, friends were kind of just like cool
your thing.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah yeah, oh, I would imagine friends were totally into it,
Yeah for sure, but friends were jealous serious, no, no,
But if it's like your family's going to support you
to go out and be in a band versus go
to school right away, who wouldn't take the life of
a band.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I mean, I don't know how bad good or bad
it is.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
I think we're also just too good at most other
things were not choice. But no, we all we all
finished high school and you know, got college courses, just
deferred them for a year and and luckily that that
year paid off and yeah, we're still here.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And so what was the what's the moment though, that
you were all able to go home and go not
gonna go like it's we took a year, we took
our gap year or whatever whatever it's called.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
There, probably when we got managers.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
Yeah maybe, and then we thought, okay, maybe maybe we
could actually do this.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I don't know. There's been a couple of those.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Pretty the year and then yeah, and then we the
record deal happened not long after that.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, that's somewhere of twenty nineteen. Let's say, is.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Dublin is Dublin hard to get?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I don't want to say noticed then, But do you
do you have to leave Dublin, like when you when
you talk about getting managers and working on a record,
do you have to get out of Ireland?
Speaker 6 (05:54):
I think I think maybe, like in the last ten
years probably, I think we were fairly lucky. We got
this opening support for a band called the Academic, like
early on when we didn't have any managers or anything
that was in London, we met a few people there,
so that was like a great thing. But I think
now it was like there's so many great bands coming
(06:14):
out of Ireland, Like there's apparently people going over looking
for like bands now and artists.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
So is it back then was it like there needed
to be one big person for everybody else to get noticed? Uh?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Yeah, Like I'd say, you'd want like a kind of
label rep to like come over, and they wouldn't really
do that, would they.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
No?
Speaker 8 (06:35):
Yeah, no, we were. We went scouting everybody. They weren't
scouting roles.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
When it was time to write the record. Not not
this one, the first one. So when you guys figure that.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Out hard or easy?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Harder than well, yeah, difficult circumstances because the pandemic had
just happened, and so you know, we kind of were left.
There was no chance of any gigs happening, so just
left to right and we were very lucky that, you know,
we were able to travel for work, right, you know,
to go and record that in London and did that
(07:11):
over the course of a few months.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
But we had most like we had most of our
songs from that album already because we've been playing them.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
For years since you were thirteen.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Yeah, literally, So it's like our friends all knew the songs,
like some of the fans that like if there were
any at the time, where like they knew the songs
and stuff. So it was kind of just like piecing
it together and getting like a cohesive thing together.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But it was a strange environment.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, because I feel like, at least in reading,
I feel like you guys have done a really good
job in terms of being smart or just stupid smart
where it's been a cross between going out and doing
your own thing, like doing your own shows. But you've
also and I don't know how it works out, I
don't know how it gets put out together, but you've
also done a good job of when you go out
(07:58):
in support of somebody else to talking about the Rock
and Roll Hotel show, which is great, it got you
over in the States.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
That's awesome, But I feel like you guys have also.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Been really smart or good enough to be selected to
go out with some bands that are definitely gonna put
eyes on you.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Right, Yeah, well that's that's I think the pathway for
bands is like you get a support and then yeah,
if it's right with the right audience, it can just
like you know, we really we love like having new
bands on as well. This band that supported us in
the UK, they're really good to called Permanent Joy, right,
But like I think we had to cancel our last
Manchester gig a couple of weeks ago because I was
(08:34):
really sick and we canceled the show last minute. Felt terrible,
but they were like they put up a story being like,
hey we're gonna play like a gig in Manchester tonight
sold out in like two seconds. Oh really Yeah, they
had like a great you know what I mean? So
like there's that kind of energy going on.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I think because like I you know, if you look
back Kings, Leon, Pearl, Jam, Harry Styles, like that's that's
a decent that's a decent group to get your get
eyes from you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's range, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Where where where do you?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
And And the answer may be for all of them,
but like for Range, where where do you? Because nobody
knows what to label you as? Which I think is great.
I think that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I think it's great.
But where it is Pearl, Jam, Kings, Leon, Harry Styles,
Where where where's the comfort spot?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Like honestly, we we we never have these types of conversations.
That's always been interviews and we're like, yeah, we should
think about that. But also I think one of the
beautiful things about making music for us is like the
kind of freedom of it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And we've always just kind of let the.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Songs do their thing and we just kind of like
stand in the background, right. We don't like there's not
a set of effects pedals that we use strictly or
like you know, we don't wear like you know, we
don't have rules on what kind of clothes we wear.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It's not there's no like genre defining, right.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I do. I think that's awesome. I do. I think
that's great.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I wonder from the business side of it, are there,
like you mentioned, are.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Their managers, are their record labels, and they definitely.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So they can market a bit more effectively.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And then but so so I mentioned going out with styles,
the guys that you did this record with the producer, Yeah,
everybody makes a big deal. Like I don't live in
that world, but everybody makes a big deal about what's
a kid harpoon? Right, everybody makes a big deal about
him and what he does when it's time to make
a record.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And the first two you did with somebody else?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Is that is that like when it switched time, Like
I'm assuming the other guy was pissed.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I you know, it's we have like the most beautiful
relationship with him because he's like he's on the management
as well. He's the first guy to kind of like
he took us into a studio and like kind of
showed us like how like goes and stuff, and we
recorded like the first tracks with him and it became
a kind of like almost he's like our uncle or something. Right,
(11:05):
So then I think when it came to like the
third album, he was like, I think you guys should
try something different, Like I think it's time for because
he's in the management.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I think he had that perspective on.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
It, so you didn't have to call him and go, hey, yeah,
he sucks to be here. He was.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Welcom's a very necessary thing as well for artists to
switch up who the choicer is going to be.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I think so because you know, you hear certain records.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
That have been done with the same artists for like
seven or eight nine albums or something, and eventually it's
kind of just like you know, you need to learn
different things from different people and take what you've learned
in the past.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
We kind of see it as like going to college
because none of us went to college, right, It's like
you learn from we learned all we had to learn from.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And now it's time for us to get a job.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Graduating.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
So if you've been doing this since thirteen, neither of
you have ever had a job, well, I mean, obviously
you have.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
It is one, but this is it.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
You never like you never you never made a sandwich
in a restaurant.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, No, made a sandwich at home.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's quite different. It is quite different.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
You get food poisoning from the sandwiches i'd make.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
So if this thing falls apart, you guys are screwed.
You have no redeeming ability to do anything else.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Thank you, he might be I'd be screwed.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
The all right, So let's get back to the tour.
So so you're out on you're out on the road.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You'll go through.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I think it's a couple more weeks that the that
that that the tour goes is coming to the US.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Is it? Is it hard?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
It's amazing, Honestly, I'm not lying like it's it's the
best one on tour. It's not really hard. It's it's
like the drives are long. But we're at a place
now where we've got bus. We're not in a vine, right.
I could imagine doing those drives in a van like
some of the support puns too. It's like that's at
like a permanent neck like this.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
But so like when you when you came through the
last time we were doing nine thirty, were you in
a bus then?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh man, oh that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
That's what you got, that fancy thing that you have
over cho Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
What is that.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Nelson's improved in Haylor? Uh, I don't even know. Gary
can tell me where we got it. He's the tour manager.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
But but but I've never seen something like that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's just from my voice.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
It's just like a steam like you know, like a
uh just like you can get these things in the
pharmacy that like you put hot water in.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
And you just it's just you know, the other thing
and listen, you do you But if you go around
the corner, I don't they don't have him in Dublin,
but there's a place called seven eleven Marlborough. You're thrown
up immediately. So anyway the US run will end. Then
(13:58):
I know you're going and doing a bunch of stuff.
What is how how significant when you get home to
play Saint Ann's Park?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
How significant a show will that be?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
God? Like, the biggest thing we've ever done?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Really?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (14:10):
This is the biggest show that we've ever announced. So
you know, there's nerves, but there's also a sense of like,
you know, bring it on, let's come.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
On, biggest show. I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
No, I was just gonna say, I think it's worse when, like,
at least in America we can pretend to be all
cool and stuff because we don't know many of the
people here. But in Dublin, everybody like your brothers in
the crowd giving you the finger.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
So yeah, you can't really like, yeah, why are you
singing like that? You never say yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
When you say when when you say biggest show, not
crowd wise, you've played in front of crowds bigger than that,
the biggest show that we have, your show for yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Oh that's awesome. Yeah, oh I like that. Now, when you.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
When you were younger, did you go see a bunch
of shows at Saint Anne's Park.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No, I've actually never been been. I've never been north.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
So we're from the south side of Dublin and it's
on the north side.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Wait, so I have to the north side? Is Josh
from the north side and you got He's okay, that's
the poor side. No one's yeah, I didn't say that, but.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You've been there before.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Well yeah, so my mom is from there, so it's
like it's right, it's it's in Raheey, which is like
it's beautiful park. It's just like a park, right you
and they've thrown gigs on it now. I don't think
they've done it.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
It has been going you know, there has been gigs
happening there for too long. It's like, I think it's
relatively new, and you know Pope just played there and
old Gallagher just played there, so you know, I have
high expectations that will hopefully be.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
A good show, but nervous, nervous in a good way.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, that will be like is that where everybody like
this is where everybody's coming out to see their their
buddies who made it.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Hope, well hope Will it be more nerve racking than
the Workmen's.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Club back in the d Actually that's a good point.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Yeah, Workman's is like tough because you can see if
people are getting bored, Like you can see their eyeballs,
you know what I mean, if they like yawned. At
least in Satan's if you squint your eyes you can
kind of you know.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
But I remember I read something about you guys going
back and playing and I don't know, I don't know
Stan's from Workmen's. Workman's Club, you could send me to one.
I think it's the other done your research, but the
but I read somewhere where like that the show at
the Workmen's Club when you guys we were much younger,
was like the first time you showed up somewhere and
it wasn't Yeah you have friends there and stuff and
(16:39):
they're flipping you off in the whole thing. But people
are singing your songs and you're like, oh my god,
like they're singing our music.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Yeah, it was very cool. Crazy, that's a silly songs
arrel singing it.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The because I know, like when this ends, like then
you'll go off.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I know you're a couple of lollapaloozas and some festivals
and stuff like that fun or no, like would you
rather be out doing your own thing or is that
a fun?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Right?
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Very different, you know, it's a it's a very different thing.
And say, it's nice at festivals to like run into
people who you've you know, met down through the years
and you know, shoot it with them.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
A little bit.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
And also it's just a nice challenge to try and
see if you can win some more people over.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I suppose, right, especially is it is it competitive amongst
the bands I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I don't really think so, don't mean we're not.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I don't get the sense that would.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
You know, Yeah, I don't know, like it's uh, I
think it's more. I don't think it's like competitive in
a sense of like I want to get one over you.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I think it's just like we're all just trying to survive.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Right, just trying to go out do your thing and
perform his best. Yet you can. But you said, get
more eyes on you, and they.
Speaker 8 (17:56):
Think we're competitive with ourselves. You know, whoever's on before
you at a festival. Oh, you're just watching them, just
going okay, gotta step up my game for this one.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
That's good. Yeah, oh that's good. All right, let's do this.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Give me a quick break and Hailer is in concert
tonight at the Anthem.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Take a quick break. It's Elliott in.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
The morning, Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
All right, let's play something and then we'll get into
some more stuff. Are we ready?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
When going to do your host I think, is this alright?
With the setup? But it just works like this?
Speaker 10 (18:28):

Speaker 1 (22:22):
House and Hilary is with us Eli and Ryan.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
By the way, the video for that song, dude, that
video is awesome.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Oh I cracked my rib on the videos?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Did you really?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I was gonna say two things.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Number One, you look like crap in the video the
but what is that What is that contraption that they
have you in.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
They built like a hamster wheel or something, which was
doing in like a week. I don't know how they
did it, but it was just like a big briefcase
on stilts or something.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Right, and so they like I also watched the like
the behind the scenes thing for the video and you're right,
like they're moving it from side to side, you are
flying all over the place.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Did you really break a rib? Yep, you cracked it.
I wouldn't say break, but yeah, actually cracked the rib.
Because then I remember we were on tour at the time,
this is in October, and we're singing and just feeling
like something's not right, like I can't get the full breath,
and yeah, went to the doctor and he just literally
(23:27):
touched the spot first thing he did, and he was like, yeah,
you're you're screwed.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
And then ribs. There's nothing you can just to get
on with it. Yeah, then you're done.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
The the other thing in that video, whose blue car
is that?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Not?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Our car is badass, it's old, but that car is awesome.
Speaker 12 (23:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
The guy who the guy who owned it, was on
set and he was not happy it the way our
keyboard player was driving the car. He was like watching
very close then that the girl was throwing the suit.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
K is quite close to it, and he was Yeah,
he's freaking out.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I want to say, does it she hit it? At
one point?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
You can only do that once.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Yeah, I think left a minor dent dedication to the part.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
So the record, the record is is a month old.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I'm assuming you guys are very happy with it.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yes, yes, I'm assuming the I know the critic response
to it has been good. Has the as like now
that we're doing shows and playing it live, is the
audience response to it been what you were hoping.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It would be and more?
Speaker 13 (24:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Like the second album, I feel like it was harder
to convince our funds that it was like the new way.
But this this feels like like we're changing the encore
for the first time ever. We've always ended with Honest Face,
which is the biggest song, and this time we're like
ending on new stuff. So and like it's going down well.
It doesn't feel like we have to convince people, right.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Is the is the does everybody does everybody still live
at home? Does everybody everybody still lives at their at
their own house? Yeah, we all still live in Dublin,
but like at your parents house. Yeah, seriously, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I was, you know, we trouvel so much. There's no
point right now.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Oh you know what, that's a that's a good way
to look at it. That's good.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You know, it's like you don't want to pay rent
for somewhere that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
What you're you're the smart one. Good for you.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
That is a first I it'll be the last.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
But I was reading about the writing of the of
the record and we we we talked to you. You
had a different producer and when you went in to
record it and everything was different.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Was the writing for this one different?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Knowing that the trajectory is kind of keeps going up
and up and up.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I think there's definitely a bit of pressure.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, more so with the second one because
we had more time to polls. I think the second
was like we were just still going. So it felt
like one point five.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
In a way.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Uh, but like, yeah, this time we went home to
me a lot of time home.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
We had like ten months off of doing any gigs
from November twenty twenty three to August of last year,
and so that was kind of a blessing because we
hadn't had that chunk of time ever before.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I was gonna say, does that feel like a lifetime
to have ten months off?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah? It did at the time, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
But it was all worth it because you know, we
were just it was just the four of us again,
like we were teenagers. Whereas I think we've kind of
I think we've kind of said that the first two
albums in a way sort of feel like the same
album because we never stopped touring for about like two
and a half three years or something, and in that
(26:38):
time the second album was done. So this is this
kind of feels like the first real departure and return
that we've ever had.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I think as a band.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Has the relationship amongst all four of you changed since
you were thirteen.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, it's gotten worse.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
It's actually stayed quite the same in weird ways. We
definitely fight less than we did when we were that age.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Less in terms of none of you have been in
a fist.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Fight with each other, not fists, but we've gone close
really no, well not me, not me and him.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
No, we really like each other.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Actually, but nobody, nobody has swung at the other one.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No, not between you two, but any of you.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
No, No, that would be I just feel like it's
hard to come back from that, you know what I mean.
I think everybody knows like once something like that happens,
he can't be friends.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Some of us have a lot of buttons and some
of us have a lot of fingers.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Are you more button or finger?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I'm both?
Speaker 8 (27:38):
Man, I'm very annoying and very irritable as well.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
He's button, he's But are you finger?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I'd say I definitely have a lot. I'd say I'm
both as well. Yeah, yeah, we're both. That's why we're
a match man, haven't.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
So?
Speaker 4 (27:55):
But it's it's it's no different than I don't want
to say everybody else, but everybody gets along.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
It hasn't changed everybody's good.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
But yeah, I mean you still push each other's buttons
as each other offship.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
And honestly, is the best that it ever has I
think honestly, because I think, especially with last year, having
all that time off, I think we regained a lot
more stability in our own individual lives, and we weren't.
You know, sometimes you can maybe feel like you don't
have any freedom as an individual when you tour as
(28:28):
much as we do, right, And I think we just
when we regained that sense of freedom and we were
just writing together and just enjoying spending time with each
other again, It's just like you know, I think that
seeped its way into the music room making.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's why we love this album so much.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Do you still write in the Are you still like
up in the middle of the night right and all
the time?
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Ye?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, and you're but you've been like that since you
were uh an itty bitty little kid, like just up
all night.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Well yeah I have yeah. Actually did you know that? Yeah,
because you probably said it. Well.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
My mom used to find me like at the TV
at like four in the morning when I was like seven,
just watching like INFO commercials.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Most disres like what is wrong with this child?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But now so same thing.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
When you're upriting, you're up till the What I had
read was is that you'd start writing in the middle
of the night and you would figure, you know what,
I probably need to take a break.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
When two things would happen.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
The sun would come up and your dad would come
march downstairs like uh.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Oh yeah, well once he was up to yeah, I
got to bed.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, head up. Yeah, yeah, time to head up.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
The other thing I like that Going back rund real
quickly to what you were saying, is I feel like
with you guys, there is this internal push where it
is like, whether it's it's switching a producer and doing
something different.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
You kind of mentioned it a little bit when it
was festival time.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Is this this push where we everything we do has
to be better so nobody thinks we're skating.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Right right right, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
Yeah, I think I think we're just we've always said
that we're like not afraid to be or feel ambitious,
and I think, you know, we are constantly just trying
to push ourselves because we've said recently that if we
were at all and tomorrow, we wouldn't be satisfied. Yeah,
we've had some of the most insane things happened to
us and experiences lived. But if this was it, you know,
(30:23):
it feels like so much more to do. There's so
much more to do. Yeah, the what what's what?
Speaker 4 (30:29):
A couple of things that at the top of that
list right now, not in terms of the ambition of
what you've done.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Oh hmmm, your list is probably different to mine.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Isn't it. Maybe I don't know what's on your list.
That's the Square Garden, Well that would be that would
be pretty cool.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
Yeah, I think I think A very proud moment for
all of us. I think was a gig that we
did in Dublin just over a year ago or so.
It was in the Three Arena in Dublin, and that
was where I went to see my first show, and
then when we did it on our own, I was
kind of like, you know, pretty moved and blown away
(31:09):
by that experience.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But I think we've done those are things. Getting the
chance to put out our first album.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
You know, you never thought at thirteen you'd actually do
it right, you know, got gotten the chance to meet
some of our heroes, and you know.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Just still haven't met Dave Girl. Though I haven't met
Dave Girl yet.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
How have you not met Dave Girl? Just throw that
from here? How have you not met da It's funny,
I know.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I have a theory though that he's really really busy
a lot of the time. I'm doing lots of things,
and funnily like we're quite busy as well.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Right, So do you think is doing an interview right now?
He's like I haven't met Thedan Hailer kid.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Definitely not.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
To be sure.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Girls Fast Asleep wrapped him.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
So wait, yours is so but ambitious wise, Eliz, yours
would be to play the garden.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Uh, yeah, that'd be great. I think.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
I'm uh, I just I think, just keep on trying
to make the the album that's gonna satisfy you. It
was probably never probably never happened, but like you know,
you want to get I think every time we get
a little bit closer to like being like you know
exactly what you envision it to be. I think, Yeah,
it's the constant thing of just chasing yourself.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Just keep rolling.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Yeah, can I can I pay you a compliment for
a second if you want the the the When I
go back to of you talking about how it's just
push push push, I feel like people people that know
they know who your dad is, right, and for people
that don't know your dad's bona yes is when you
(32:48):
talked and this goes back years where you talked about
I don't want to be the guy in the band
who thinks everything was handed to me because I have
a dad who's in the same business and his okay.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
For himself right.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
But the one thing that I like and and I
love this is that it is you almost have to
work harder so that they don't go, oh, you know what,
these four kids caught a break because his dad that
you have to be able to go out and go no, no, no, no,
no whatever. He does his thing, But I have to
be able to stand on my own. We have to
be able to stand on our own and not just
(33:25):
be okay that.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
That's why I've flawed that.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
I think.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I think that's really special, you know.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Like people always think it anyway, so it doesn't matter really,
But like I think for us like knowing ourselves that
we we haven't like just like breezed through things, because
we really haven't, like, if I'm being honest, like we've
we put in a really like a long graph for
a lot of years. And I think just for our
own kind of self worth, it's like knowing that we
(33:52):
just actually can stand on our two feet and be
a good burnt.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Right, that's important.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
And then like you said, yes, you don't what people
may think that, but you know what, if you ever
wanted to play the garden, God knows, there was plenty
of opportunity to go open and play the garden.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
But he's not going to hand that to you. No, No,
I mean he couldn't. Like you can't convince many people
to buy tickets.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
That's the thing.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
Like they might come once, but if they don't like it,
you know, you can't like napo them to come.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Back or something.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
If that argument had any way too, it would probably
be a lot bigger than.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
We actually are.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
But the only thing that actually is important is you know,
you have to have good songs and you have to
be able to play your instrument. You don't have those,
people aren't going to come and see you.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Right, And that's what I think makes the trajectory that
much more special, is that you guys are you're fighting
and we're doing it.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
The other thing for us was like we weren't gonna
like I think it was really important to like not
be like, oh but we're our own interesting people like
don't ask us about that, because I think we all knew,
like growing up in Dublin, Like I think people like
to keep you humble and like, you know, know where
you came from sort of things. So it's like if
(35:03):
you're slappy, Yeah, we never wanted to like pretend like
it well didn't wasn't there you know what I mean,
Like if if you wanted to ask a question about it,
like far away, it's like that's what I would be
asking if I was the interviewer, right, So that was
never like I think there is definitely like an air
of people are like, oh, maybe he's like sensitive to
talk about it, but.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Well, you know what I mean, I'll be honest. I
feel that way.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, but because you want.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
To be respectful, this isn't It's not them being in
here or anything.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I mean, listen, I'll be honest with you. I like
inhler more than I like you too.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
I'm not lying to Yeah, he's made of.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
So.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
So you'll finish this run, you'll go back, you'll do
the you do, you do some of the festivals. Then
you have the big show in Dubble, which I hope
is awesome. I hope it is just a wave of
people going crazy and go a nuts and then what
is like what what happens beyond that?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Do you guys even know yet?
Speaker 6 (36:04):
And there's lots of festivals. Yeah, we're doing Glastonbury. I
think that's an answer.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
So that'll be we get to stay the weekend of Glastonbury.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
We've never been able to do crazy.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
I think our schedule is like taking us up to
kind of like the end of July ish or something,
and right, and now there's a discussions happening about what
happens after that, So I think we'll be going this
year somewhat up until mid to like November or something.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Oh that's great, but for you, I wish you guys
had a day off in d C.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
I know we go get an airbnb, we said out
to go get weed.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Experience that man. So I know a guy he told
me out of a job. Now maybe one of the
dumbest things you've ever done. They won't let me forget
about it every time.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Can we tell that story real quick? First night in
d C?
Speaker 4 (36:56):

Speaker 4 (37:08):
They get an airbnb and some guy is walking by
and is he's a comedian or he's.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
A traveling comedian, And he was like, can I tell
you a few jokes? And if you liked him. You
can throw some money my way. He said, oh, that
sounds great, but we're from Ireland. We just got her
with no cash. And he was like, okay, all right,
that's cool, that's cool. Do you want to buy some weed?
We said yes, of course, and uh yeah, And then
(37:36):
two the guys like me and Louis went with this
guy and and his friend, who was this lovely woman.
I can't remember her name. She was an interesting character.
And and the rest of the guys went back into
the house.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
