Guys, Welcome back to another episode of the Misfit Minutes podcast.
I'm your host, of course, Jade. If you're new around here, welcome,
If you're not around here, welcome back to the chaos.
So for today's episode, I have not one, not two,
not three, but four very special guests with me. I
have Josh, Kevin Rock, and Steve from Gone Cold. Finally,

(00:26):
what's now we've been I've been waiting on this one
for a while, so I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Likewise, mm hm great.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
So well, thank you guys for being here. I appreciate it.
How's your day been going?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
And we're actually in Josh's basement. I'm just working on
some new music stuff. Yeah, just taking some time practicing. Yep, fine, one,
that's where That's where we.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Are right now. That's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Yellow.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, it's giving like like nineties like my grandma's kitchen vibe.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
That.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, it's it's the clock, it's the yellow walls.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
How have you been?

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I'm good, just just chilling, just doing some other interviews today,
cleaning in preparation. We have some friends coming to visit
next weekend, so excited for that. Yeah, I'm just been.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Chillen house looks immaculate. It looks pristine clean.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Thanks, I appreciate it. Been well. Cleaning up after four
animals is tough because I have two dogs and two
cats and they don't mind making messes. So here a

(02:02):
here a soft snoring in the background. That is my bulldog, Ruben.
He's asleep, so he's ignoring me. But it's fine. But any.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
French.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
He's an English bulldog, so he's the big stocky boy
those yep. I should have named him Meatball or something.
But I feel like Rod would have sued me for that.
We've been like, oh really, and then my punishment would
have been hearing to know West Coast laugh for their
all of eternity.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
You love it?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
No, absolutely not. So I had to stop watching his
show because it was just too much.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
No West Coast, the GPS.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh no.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Oh you miss your turn?

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh man, no right, where are you going? And it
just laughs. That would be funny. And speaking of TV
and whatnot, that kind of leads into one of my questions.
I was watching you guys's music videos earlier, kind of

(03:26):
as like a refresher. Even though I've seen all of them.
The quality is phenomenal. By the way, I don't know
if I've ever told you that, but you guys' music
videos are really cool looking.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
I appreciate that thank you has literally nothing to do
with us.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
I was, Yeah, Alex Carlow, Travis, you know, they they've
all done.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Definitely very proud to like share all the time.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
My question about that was kind of how much planning
goes into it. Do you guys always have a story
in mind or do you just kind of go with
whatever the song is about or the feeling of the song.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
We've had to gradually increase the amount of planning that
we put into Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
It's also also so much can change, like the day
of the shoot, where you could have this idea in
mind that you want to do this like really big
involved scene and then like you kind of you kind
of get there and see like the area you're working
with and what you have at your disposal, and sometimes
like all of your ideas aren't like totally possible, so

(04:47):
you have to kind of be willing to like think
quickly and like change things around if it need be.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
Yeah, thing where it's like we think we have an
idea and then once we get to the location, like oh,
this could actually be like something we never even thought
of possibly doing but just because of the space, but
like we could do.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
This and that.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
So there there is a lot of like planning that
we try to get done, but almost every single time,
a lot of the plans change, like as soon as
we get to the shoot.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's fair overall is well, that's all. What in the
world is going off? My mic right now? Sounding like
a dinosaur just now?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Jeez, that's kind of us. What's up? Sounds good on
mic on this end?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
That sounds fine on this end. I don't know what
it was. I don't it was something weird feedback, but
it sounded very very strange. Was not here for But AnyWho,
we digress, So let's talk origins. So I, of course
am familiar with you guys, but for those who don't know,

(05:54):
give us a little bit of insight about how you
guys got started.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Mhm say yeah, it's a blending So me and Josh
if you didn't know, we're in a band together before.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
It was also from the Fredericksburg called pem My Legacy,
also pretty much a metal core band that kind of
dissolved over the course of COVID and I wanted to
keep doing things. So I asked Josh if you wanted
to keep doing things, and he said yeah. We had

(06:33):
played with Kevin's old band, which also happened to be
brocks old band two called Red Chiefs Ransom, and I
hit Kevin up because I always thought Kevin was really
good at guitar and I wanted watched his vocal covers
and stuff like that, so I wanted to see if
you wanted to do something. He said yeah, and we

(06:53):
like Kevin take it from there, I guess, yeah, yeah,
Brock and.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
I were It was very similar to pat my legacy
right metal coren post hardcore, and another you know, Covid
Casualty band. And so when we when we started talking
in the beginning, it was the four of us and
basically it was like early twenty early twenty twenty two
is when we like first met up, and yeah, just

(07:20):
everything just seemed to work like right off the bat
with like the four of us, and yeah, we we
we decided we all made especially with like our first bands,
like we made like we knew like what roads to
take with this band rather than because we did a
lot of trial and error with our old bands. So
we wanted to like hit the ground running and really
not waste any time with certain things such as you know, recording,

(07:45):
as you know, studios.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
You know.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
It really worked out really well, and we're all like
in like the same headspace of like where we wanted
to take the band.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
We're also really really old, so there may not be
much kind to mess around what anyway.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Anything I would add to that, h.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
There is.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
We're not really in particular man.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, basically even in Joshua in a band and I
were in a band and now we're in a band together.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
All right, simplified.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I thought it was interesting you mentioned kind of like
I guess your age for lack of an word, there's
no way that you guys are like like old old.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
We're not.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
We're not. We're not like probably actually old, but like
to be trying to be in the the best metal
band ever be a little old. Yeah yeah yeah metal
core years for definitely liked the senior discount.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah. Well, I think that the nice thing is that
you have the wisdom of like knowing like the things
that you want to do. And I would say to you,
like the maturity is there, which is something that both
as a fan and there's someone interacting with you in
this capacity, I appreciate. So I'm here for it.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Thank you. Yeah, no, you're you're yeah, you're right.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Like we we definitely learned a lot of like I know,
I did, like a lot of what not to do. Like, yeah, well,
being a young musician, Uh, you you've learned a lot.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Of things the hard way.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
But I feel like people don't keep going like once
they get into their thirties a lot of the time,
but like I feel like it's kind of just like
wasted knowledge, Like you know, all the the things, all
the hard lessons you learned like Mabe back in the
day and like you know the oh, like you know,
just a million lessons that I could have.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Done this better.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, and then and then you kind of you kind
of figure that out, like as you can learn, you
just try to try to like do it better than
you did when you were younger.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, that's fair and kind of touching towards that a
little bit. See, I had a question about your vocal
techniques because the times that I've seen you guys live,
you've like and not to be that person, but you've
always blown me away with your vocals just because you're

(10:33):
so loud and you like, obviously you still need a mic,
but like you're you're putting on every single time the
whole show. So I wanted to know kind of what
you do to prepare before and after shows.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
Well, definitely drink a lot of water. I drink a
ton of water before we play Nhhow I also started
using those electroly packs a lot, because honestly, hydration is
incredibly important.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Especially when you're doing harsh, screaming vocals. In my opinion,
at least, I also do Melissa Cross warm up. So
if you're familiar with her, the Zeno streaming person.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Uh this.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
Dd I have constantly in my car because I'm always
using it.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
But uh yeah, if you haven't seen her, look her up.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
She's honestly really cool, work with like a ton of guys,
including Randy Blath.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
And she's been around a long time, like teaching these
folks how to scream right and stuff. Yeah, yeah, she
she's definitely a piecet. I'm a terrible vocalist in any capacity,
so I had no reason to.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Like it, but I don't think I'm good, but her ship.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Helped me out a lot, especially when I first started
like Trunk being a band with Gosh and the other band,
it was incredibly helpful.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
He was definitely loud, and he's good.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
He's solid, like you're so I My favorite thing about
you is that, like I feel like I can just
like understand like what you're saying, like like you're you're
so clear. M.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
I mean, I don't. I don't hate stuff for you.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
I can't understand everything in the vocals, especially I'm gonna
call it out modern deathcors or most like that to me, uh,
but I find myself a little more the vocalists than
I can understand them, even when they're streaming, like Jake
from all his turn red vigil from the ghost.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Inside guys like that, m m M.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
You say Kubla Kan not like a lot. For that reason,
I would say.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
I would say, I agree, definitely dig them. Haven't got
to see them live yet, which makes me sad, but
one day. And by the way, Kevin, that is not
to take away from you. You are also a phenomenal
vocalist and I enjoy hearing you sing a lot. What

(13:27):
is your uh your vocal warm up or like, do
you do anything special or do you just kind of
wing it and go forward.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Depending on the show.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
Sometimes if I have a good area to warm up
and I will, like I always it's so funny out
singing tree music is like the best way for me
to like warm up, Like I was like singing like
a song or two in the car because a lot
of times there's a lot of like low range to
really like help warm up, and it's always like a
very easy crescendo to like higher richards. It's always been

(14:01):
my go to warm ups just because it's not like,
you know, trying to say any type of like you know,
you know, something like I saying where it's spar like
a lot of the notes are like up high.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
It's a really easy warm up for me. Good old oh.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, don't don't let him be too humble. You gotta
check him out on Instagram. He covers these country songs
and is.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
A he's really he's really absolutely good. I really hope
he doesn't like you just want to do countries because
he would. He would. He would crush.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Gone Cold Country album coming soon you heard it here?

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, we we we joke about how like our side
project when day like we're gonna really to release a
like change genres and become a country man. If it'll
be called gone country country music.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
I can't say.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I can't m hm.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
How could you grow up in Virginia and hate country music?
Weirdo Oh I'm sorry, I'm just kidding now. I grew
up listening to that.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, I grew angry music, you know.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
That was that was a big part of what I
listened to when I was growing up. My mom she
listened to the country and like motown, so like the Temptations,
Gladys Knight, all that kind of stuff. That's what she
played around the house all the time. So like like
growing up, we knew who like Merle Haggard was, We

(15:51):
knew who Randy Travis was. But then we also knew
like like obviously like the Temptations, like I said, Marvin Gaye,
all of all of the classics, I guess for lack
of a better word. So we had a very diverse
music background growing up.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Oh yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
You have you had some you know, some folks that
were like into into music like that able to show
you some things.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, and then like my dad he listened to like
a lot of nineties hip hop so like Momy obviously
Iced Tea, ice Cube, all the all the guys from
in w A. Of course they Tupac, you know, the basics.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
We were just talking about Iced Tea's feature on that
on the Alpha Wolf song that he did, and how
like hard and awesome it was.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Really I hadn't heard that. Maybe I anything to check
that out.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Oh oh yeah, I think the song is told Sucks
to suck mm hmm, it's it's it's gas. The whole
the whole song is badass and like like Iced Tea
and it is just perfect nice.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I will go check it out. We and my husband
were watching Rick and Morty and he I don't I
think it was actually his voice on that episode and
it was The episode was just really dumb and weird,
and I kept we kept going like back and forth,
that's not there's no way that's iced Ty, like stop playing.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
When he becomes water Tea, yes, and like the.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
The numbers and the letters were fighting, and I was like,
what is happening right now?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Help?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah? Oh my god. We just finished the last season
of Rick and Morty, so hopefully they are they coming
out with another season. I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
I wouldn't out that. Yeah, I'm sure they will.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, they they better come out with a new season
otherwise I'm gonna be left on a cliffhanger. I'm like,
what what's Ritt gonna do? Now? Like, what's what's the
plan here? I gotta know it's Morty. Everyone's being like
a pansy, like, what what's the plan?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think they put out like an anime thing recently.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, the animation kind of gave me a headache a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
It's a little weird.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
I hadn't I hadn't uh checked it out. Really. I
watched like like the like before you click on this show,
like the preview or whatever you want to call it.
I watched that, and I was like, oh, this animation
is weird.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
It's it's definitely not as good as the show.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
I figured it wouldn't be, but I might. I might
give it a shot.

Speaker 7 (19:00):
HM.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Kind of related I through a fun question in here,
because since we're on the subject, what is your favorite
animated TV show?

Speaker 7 (19:12):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (19:14):
I mean I think I know at least ours is.
I love south Park?

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah? Like I mean it's just goaded.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, h.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
I mean Rick and Morty is also great.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
Means family guy.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, American dad has.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Oh Metal Acalypse. Oh yeah, we quote Metalcse. Yeah, that
show is great. That's a show that really needs like
to come back. So what happened to Brendan' small? I thought,
I thought was just deplorable? Uh I thay leave dude, Like, a.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Aren't they supposed to like or something?

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I heard that Brendan Small was like in the works
of doing a movie, but it has to be under
a different name or something. I think Adult Swim owns,
like the Death Clock name or something. He's been touring
under a different name, and it's like it's a Blackticus,
Like yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
What the side project in honor of the Great Mona.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Dang, it's a shame with these these TV networks and
these big companies will do to artists. Sometimes. It made
me think of kind of what as much as I
love DC comics, what they did to Alan Moore kind
of like was wasn't really cool and like to like,

(21:11):
to be honest, I tried reading like because obviously he
wrote Watchmen, which is one of the best graphic novels
of all time, and then they did Doomsday Clock, which
was just no, it's a no, for me, dog, it
wasn't it wasn't good. It was very weird and kind
of hard to follow and not really not really worth

(21:33):
it in my opinion. Watchman is goaded of course.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Mm hm for sure that that whole that whole that
was like a whole stylistic concept like that that like
set a tone for like so much illustration to come
out afterwards.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
And I liked, well, Alan Moore is his whole thing
is like the deconstruction of the superhero and all that
and kind of like how superheroes aren't perfect, which obviously,
like most of us grew up with that like oh,
superheroes are so great, they can do anything, blah blah blah.
But then he was like, no, actually they're very flawed,

(22:11):
and they kind of sucked.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Oh yeah, like you know the I think they started
pointing out out ever since, like you know, Spider Man dropped,
like uh uh when Stacy and all that stuff, like
when they like put that on the the big screen
like an amazing Spider Man, because that was a huge
moment in the comics. Yeah, I mean, and I was
like I remember seeing that movie was I was like,
are they.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Gonna do it? Like is he gonna see remember or not,
like they kept it in there.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
I was like, yeah, like, you gotta give him some
like humanistic qualities for sure.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
And that was I believe, if I remember correctly, that
was one of the only times that a comic character
like stayed dead if I if I remember correctly, I
could be wrong.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Like, but now now you never know because they have
the multiverse, so they can just doing.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
They don't get rid of the freaking oh Mark. I mean,
DC is just as bad because like they're like, oh,
you guys don't like what we did this month, hut reboot,
and like, damn it, I'm gonna do this ninety till
you're ninety.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Until you're none.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm assuming you've seen Dead Full Rain then.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
I've seen it. I don't. I don't know if you
guys have.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
It's been long enough to wa I'm dropping spoilers all
the time. They've had weeks.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Like see that, Yeah, RONI is on the list. Don't
see Long Legs.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
I I heard that Long Legs was not good, but
I'm not good. I don't know much about it, so
I'm not going to tell you not to go see it.
But my friend of mine told me he did not
like it, and I was like why, And he didn't
really elaborate. He just was like, this wasn't good.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
I was like, I saw it, and I'm telling him
not to see it. I'm a huge horror movie buff,
Like I love horror movies, and I feel like in
the twenty twenties, like you might get like one good
horror movie out of every like twenty, you know, and
this this.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Was just bad, like like it was just not good.
There's just nothing.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
And your friend is right, like I don't even know
what to say, like it just it just wasn't.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Real bad, just.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
This wasn't just wasn't good. Yeah, I don't know. I
I would.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Rather see Nicholas Cage's Superman, you know.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
I almost want them to just bring him back, like
for like a legitimate thing, like I don't know, for
him to show up in a movie or something. I
think he showed up very briefly the Flash, but it
was like it. First of all, I didn't even finish
The Flash because it was terrible. And secondly, he wasn't

(25:10):
there long enough to have made a difference in my opinion,
Like I think, if you're gonna do cameos like that,
you know, it can if you're gonna do a quick cameo,
you could still make it impactful. But for I don't know,
for that, I feel like it wasn't really worth it,
Like there wasn't any fan service in that.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, I totally agree.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, what was your what was your favorite cameo in Deadpool?

Speaker 3 (25:47):
I mean I can say this at this point right
like I'm just spoiling everything. I know you guys haven't
seen it, but like I'm yeah, okay, So definitely Blade,
Like Blade.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Coming in was so clutch.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
And then also like when when Chris Stevens was like
Johnny Storm when we all thought he was.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Gonna be like Captain America at the beginning, Like that
was hilarious.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Yeah, but it.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Wasn't my favorite Deadpool movie, like I think like it.
I think the second one was better than the third one,
but it definitely had Deadpool's best intro, like when he
was beating everybody to death with the with like Logan's skeleton,
Like that was awesome.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Sorry, that was really funny. The dance that the dancing
scene was really hilarious. Just watching him just dance and
whatnot was really funny. I really liked that Gambit got
his moment. We've been waiting on that.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah. And then it was Shanning Tatum, which is great.
It was awesome.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yes, excuse me, done over here.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
He's a good one.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Give that man his movie already. Damn it, like for real,
like he deserves it. He's been waiting what twenty years
to play Gambit.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
M hmm.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Everyone's like, everyone's like the other guy was better. I
don't know about all that.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Yeah, Channing, I think like he adapts because he's from
New Orleans, so I feel like he just adapts that
kind of like creole like uh, you know, French swave.
It's like so well, you know what I mean, like
for the character of Gambit, you know exactly.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
I kind of want to watch it a third time
because I've already seen it twice. But this one was like,
I don't think we need to see it again. I
think I think we've seen it enough. I was like,
but but it's so funny though, He's like, yeah, and
at the third time is not going to be as funny.
I don't know. I've seen I've seen I've probably seen

(28:08):
The Batman and Robert Pattinson probably eight times. But I
didn't go see in theaters though, but I've watched it
several times. It was phenomenal and I will die on
this hill.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Old vampires turn into bats.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Exactly. He came full circle. Yeah, I'm so glad that
he got that though, Like before we move on to
the next subject, I'm so glad that he got to
like be in that big of a movie and it
not be something like Twilight, Like go him. That man

(28:47):
is after the trauma they put him through with Twilight,
he deserved a big movie like this. So rooting for you,
Rob can't wait for the next movie? Would hurry up?

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Mhmm.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
AnyWho. Kind of segueing back into the realm of music,
I was curious, maybe this year, maybe even the year before,
what's been the most impactful show that you've either been
to or play.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
I mean, we definitely gotta choose what we played. It's
gonna be the same Howard Theater. Yeah, back in May
we played at Howard Theater in DC.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
I was like the first experience for us are playing like,
you know, a real big stage like.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
That, and it was it was a lot of fun
and it wasn't really Those.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
Two bands are fantastic and you know, we we definitely
would love to play that place again for sure.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
It was it was just a great experience and that's
it's definitely probably the top all of our lists.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Just felt really pro line like the whole time we
were there, Like like the staff that they had there
were super great for us, like always making sure we
like have what we needed, like economics all the time,
ran the show super professionally. We're like very respectful and
prompt with everything and uh, you know Archers and Magnolia Pargue.
You know, people came through like to see them, and

(30:22):
I think that like, you know, we gave people a
little surprise and it was just ran real smooth and
it was just like it was it was a like
a Sunday night, right, Like it was like a Sunday
or like yeah it was a Tuesday, yeah yeah yeah,
and it's like on a on a Tuesday night.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
You know, people came out to like support it.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
It was a great crowd, super engaging, a beautiful sound
system and hall like and we we loved.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
It and we were just which you can do this
all the time, it's no big deal.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yeah, we got we got to hang out with the
guys from Archers and everybody from Magnolia a part for
a bit, and they were They were super awesome, you know,
real nice, inclusive like no no, no rock star attitudes
or nothing like great.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Well, good, good. I'm glad that that was a good
experience for you guys. If that show was in fact
on a Tuesday, There's no way I could have personally
made it. But I'm glad that it went well perspect Yeah,
I always feel bad when I always feel bad when

(31:28):
when bands I like announced shows that are on like
weekdays and then I can't go because I have to
work and everything is like far away from me because
I live like I would say, Richmond is like two
hours for me, and like Virginia Beach is like three
hours at least and some change, so everything is far

(31:52):
away from me, which sucks.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
We we get that.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
We totally understand that we've had to say no to
a lot of stuff that we wanted to do, like
you know, because we got to like factor and work
as you know, yeah, all this all this stuff costs money.
And also, like you know, I think it's you know,
everybody that really supports like this type of music.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
I think is like getting a little older and it's like, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Can't stay out till two am and like go to
work at six or seven or eight like the next day,
no matter how much I love this band, and like
we factor, we factor all of that those realities about
life like into like our schedule and like what we
set out to do, you know what I mean, Like
what kind of like break shows up to like you know,
just like play a couple of weekends here and there,
just because it like it's you know, the availability for

(32:35):
people to come out of like works in people's schedules
and stuff, you know what I mean, not travel like
really far to go play like Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
For sure, Yeah, I I have to plan ahead if
it's going to be like far away, because I did.
I did do the whole like get back at one
or two am and then go to work the next day,
like a few shows ago, and it was rough, oh struggling.
My boss was like, are you okay? And I was

(33:03):
like can I like, can I just take a nap
in one of the back rooms for like please? She
was like, I mean.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
We've done that. Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
You know we've we've definitely like you know, we had
to go to New York, I think, and like, yeah,
shot a music video and then drove back and then yeah,
I got home at like three four o'clock in the morning,
and like everybody went towards the next day or something
like that. And that was Yeah, that was insane. Two
hours later you drove to.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
New York for a music video cheese.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
And turned around and came back twice.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
Yeah, they just.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Long drive in the morning, long driving.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Listen dedication right there. Sure that draveted South Carolina for
Full Death Fest was rough.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah, that was that was rough something that happened. Yeah,
that was North Carolina.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we received that one.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah. It's fun show though, Oh.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah it was. I was glad I got to go.
I didn't get to go to the first day, but
I got to go to the second day and it
was a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. I'm looking forward to next year.
I'm also looking forward to chaos Fest next year. So
Sory if you're listening, hey.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Mhmm, Yeah, chaos Fest this year was a lot of fun. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
I don't know if you noticed while you were there,
but I that was a first for me. I grew
up while we were playing because it was so hot,
did you.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Really I swear on everything.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Oh yeah, I threw up multiple times, and I I
swear I swear around everything. I had no booze. Like
I wasn't hungover, you know, I was. I was like
well hydrated, and I I was just like in the sunlight.
And yeah, I started feel faint a little bit, but
I got I got some I was like, honestly pretty
embarrassed about it, but I got some props, like from

(35:26):
the people that saw it happened, like in the audience,
and they were like really.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Like because like I didn't like the show.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
The show didn't stop, like we kept going, and like
I just kind of like walked off the stage and
like threw up and then like came back and then
like later like yeah, and I had the hoochie daddy
shorts on and everything, like I was trying to stay
super cool.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
It was not enough.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, I mean it was no matter what you did.
It was hot that day. I was cooking and I
wasn't even doing anything except walking around and washing every
once in a while. But yeah, that was rough. But
it was a fun day though. I also felt bad
for Steve because his mic was kept cutting out, but
you were still really loud, like, so I give you

(36:14):
props for trying to work through it because like I
kept looking behind me at the sound like yo, his
MIC's off, and they were like, we know, we don't
know what to do to it.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
I know, we're we're we changed out the cable.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
It was.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
We think the heat might have had something to do
with with his cable too, which is why it was.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, I think the heat was cooking some stuff.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
And we definite anything that Brandon right and crew are
putting on, like, we definitely love part of that.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah, they're super pro and run thing.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah they Yeah. This was the second year that I
went to Chaos Fest, and it was just as good
as the year before. Corey and Brandon are great folks
that run a fantastic festival in my opinion, and I
look forward to seeing it grow and getting bigger and

(37:06):
you know, nice venue, bigger venue, or even if they
just do it again at Granny's, Like that would be
fine too, because it's like it's one of those places
you can just go and just have fun and you
don't have to worry about like people bothering you or whatever.
Because everybody that goes there like they know like most

(37:26):
people know each other, so except the only downside was
their door was messed up and I got locked in
the bathroom and like.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, I don't know what happened, but I went to
walk out of the bathroom and like the door wouldn't open,
and I thought maybe like one of the guys from
Fight or someone like that was like messing with me.
I was like, ah, have very funny guys, open the door, please,
And I kept like I was about to like run
into it with my shoulder. I was like, no, I
really don't want to break the door, but like the

(38:02):
whole I was pounding on the door and finally someone
hurt me and they went, oh my god, I think
she's stuck in there, and I was like, yeah, I'm stuck.
Help So they got me out. No, it's okay. It
was scary at the time, but.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
We'd all love to be back for sure.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Has anything weird like that ever happened while you guys
were playing a show or like maybe filming a music video.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
I mean, I've definitely we've definitely like injured ourselves and
almost injured ourselves really bad.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Uh, Like there was the time I.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Like fell behind the black screen when we were filming Drowning.
There was the time I got stuck in the elevator
at the Crown Uh at the Baltimore at the Baltimore
Show and we were like they had this elevator and
like behind the stage, yeah, a lift, and I was like,
I think it can carry like me and all of
the stuff and like go like half way up.

Speaker 6 (39:05):
I was like, so I was like pressing a hold
on the button for it was like a freight elevator,
and like it was going up really slow, and I
could hear it start clicking and then a worker was like.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Oh, people shouldn't go in that fall. But I bought
it right back down to get rock out of there.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
A rack almost fell on you at total death bats
Oh yeah death best.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, like we were.

Speaker 6 (39:26):
I was coming down the ramp after we played with
the rack in front of me, just rolling it down
and I didn't see there was like a I guess
I guess part of right next to the ramp where
it just like it dropped like a foot.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
So I went down like halfway and the rack just
almost ran right open.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
That's terrifying.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Oh yeah, we we you're talking about the jont and Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
The truck.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yeah, we were on the way back from New York
and like an F two fifty.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
This dude was like swerve. He swores like all the
way to left and then all the way to the
right and then he hit them.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
It all like the barrier between the highways and like
when Airborne flipped over like landed like it was crazy.
We've also popped like a ship ton of fires, like like.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yeah, how many tires have we pomped? Like yeah, well you.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Yeah, yeah, it's we're all about safety here at gone cold.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Gotta have that that roadside assistance insurance.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
It's not it's not as cracked up as you think
it is, all right not.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
They just show up with like the truck and they
make you pay for the toe and then you're like, well, ship,
how are we gonna get like you know, what are
we supposed to do for a vehicle?

Speaker 1 (40:50):
And there's like, uh, yeah, that's pretty much that.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Well in here, I'm gonna slide you go to Josh
for a second, and y'all see you guys.

Speaker 7 (41:08):
Yes, well, I feel like the uber wouldn't even come
out of the highway, so yeah, we said, speak said
they're waiting like four or five hours.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Of four or five hours yates.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
The whole thing, the whole process. Yeah, Like.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
And Kevin and I and Kevin and I are on
the way to the show for well, like from the
night before, you know, because we're in two different cars.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
You know, Oh, I see good.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
I feel like everyone has to go through vehicle troubles though,
like when it comes to bands and shows, because I
feel like that kind of stuff like makes you prepare
the letter.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Oh yeah, and and only when you're in a band,
like if you're taking if you're taking twenty three people
to the beach, you'll have you'll have no problem. But
if you got to get to North Carolina to play
a show, like you're fuck.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Yep. If I had a dollar for every time I
saw a our van broke down and we really need
you to donate to our gofund me like thing. And
that's not me ragging on like people who make those posts,
because like I, if I, if I'm able to, I
always try to donate a little something to try to
help out, because you know, support the scene. But like, yeah,

(42:28):
I always feel really bad when I see those posts,
like ah, man.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Mm hmmm, Yeah, it sucks.

Speaker 6 (42:35):
Yes, when they have to cancel like multiple dates because
of it like that.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
That sucks well.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
And also we should all just be able to repair
our vans and stuff with all the money that Spotify
pays up. Yeah right, every like thirty six percent per
stream or something like that. Yeah, go right into the
van owing you out Spotify, I hear.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
I forget what is it called? Is it Kyle, There's
it's something like it starts with a tea and it
supposedly pays people more. But I can't remember what the
site is called.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Oh, I'm not sure about it. I'll take yeah, take it,
am sure, I'll have to look it up.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
Anything what I would do for a full penny for stream.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Honestly save I feel you. I look at my streams
and I'm like, oh cool, I got this many streams
on this episode, and then it'll be like nope, just kidding,
You're like, oh, like that, it's all good. Well. I
know you guys mentioned earlier that you're working on some

(43:56):
stuff as far as music. Is there any thing that
you can share or is it all you know?

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Hush, hush, I'm gonna say it's hush hush. I think
I think there's nothing to share except for the assurance
that it will be awesome. Of course, I don't. I
don't have too many good details for you. I mean,
I guess, you know, well we could share. I guess
you know.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
We're gonna go to the studio sometime at the end
of the year, and yeah, early, just like first week
of December, we're gonna be going back to.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
The studio recording to more songs.

Speaker 6 (44:29):
So hopefully if everything goes to plan, like around like
mid mid January to mid February is when like the
next like video a song will come.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Out nice, awesome. I definitely look forward to it. Oh,
are you gonna you're also going to be taking a
break from shows then to kind of focus on writing
for the sum of year.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Yeah, Like, I mean, we're not we're not taking I
don't think we're taking like a like a like a
hard break, but like we're we're not like saying yes
to everything, and uh, you know, we we have a couple,
we have one thing scheduled, but it's not until the
end of the year. We we would we would play
some more stuff like if it you know, if it
just like workout and was like a good timing and
like you know, conducive like for everybody and like a

(45:20):
good date, you know, decent venue and all that stuff.
Like we would definitely do it, but uh we just yeah,
we we just need to take some time and kind
of like recuperate, uh you know, have fresh minds for
like you know, the music that's coming out and also
like you know, doing doing all this stuff and like
hitting the road and like putting this music out and
you know, putting out videos and stuff.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
It's it's it's expensive as hell.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Uh you know, I think, uh, no one at home
misses me, but like I think there's some people at
the other guys's.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Homes that you know miss them and stuff, and like.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
You know, everybody's I'm not married, but every everybody else's
like wives and fiancees have been like real cool and
supportive and stuff. And you know, I think it's like,
you know, towards this end of the year, like everybody
can be home like for the holidays and Halloween and
you know stuff like that unless something ridiculous just gets
like thrown across our desk.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Well that is a good plan. Definitely take time to
enjoy the holidays. And such, but we definitely will be
looking out for the new tunes. I've thus enjoyed pretty
much everything you guys have put out, so I'm excited
for more goodness.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
Yeah, I think it'll probably be a little bit closer
back to like, you know, getting out there playing a
lot of shows like in you know, the South Carolina,
North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania area. Like it'll probably be a
little bit more on schedule like next year, you know,
like just getting out more, but towards the end of
the year will be a little bit more scarce.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
But you know, we'll be around. We're not going around
too far. Yeah, we'll be back.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Yeah. Well, guys, this has been really great. It's been
nice kind of chit chatting and catching up, getting to
hear more kind of some things that I didn't know,
and you know, talking and hanging out. It's been fun.
I appreciate you making time for this. I know you
guys got other stuff that you need to do and

(47:16):
