Speaker 15 (09:17):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (09:17):
So let's start here, you know, you know the tradition.
Andre will start with you if you could eat. Please
introduce yourselves. Tell us who you are, what you do
in the band.
Speaker 13 (09:25):
I am Andre also known as Dre the Undead. Uh
lead singer and uh some rhythm guitar playing. Yes, yeah,
uh yeah, just uh being out there a whole lot
more than behind the kit. Yes, we have the next
person in line that's taken that place.
Speaker 16 (09:46):
Yes, yes, I am Thrax and I am one of
one of the the drummers in this band because obviously
you you are a and we're the drummer for for
Dead Harrison. But here, I I think I've been in
since what twenty nineteen? Yes, I think it was wave Breakers, Yeah,
(10:08):
but yeah, wave Breakers on in Hampton Beach. The place
doesn't exist anymore Cloud nine, Oh no, rest.
Speaker 12 (10:17):
But to the next to me, Hey, I am Sean
the Dead.
Speaker 17 (10:21):
I am the lead guitar player and do a lot
of backup singing and screaming and fun stuff like that.
Speaker 15 (10:28):
Yes, yes, Jason, and I'm Jason Skull's the bass player,
and I also do some backup vocals as well.
Speaker 11 (10:34):
Yes, yes. So when did Dead Harrison start? How long
is that Harrison in?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (10:40):
In total? Because originally because there was before before tracks?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Is that?
Speaker 18 (10:46):
Well you went through three names before.
Speaker 11 (10:49):
Well I used to call you at I know, but
are you? Are you officially? Like you're just tracks for
everything now, including this?
Speaker 18 (10:56):
I mean I'm trying to but no, I like it.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
I like it. It's cool. So before before Thrax was
in the band though, so when you were, because you
guys were at three piece for a long time, right
you were, you were playing drums and that was so
that was the original iteration of the band. So when
did that start? It seems like you guys have been
around a long time.
Speaker 13 (11:12):
Yeah, two thousand and eight time frame, two thousand and eight,
at least ten years of us like just the fifteen Yeah,
here's just the three of us yea. And it was
like after like the ten and eleven years, just like
I want somebody behind the kit. Yeah, I feel like
it needs something a little bit more.
Speaker 11 (11:33):
Right, right, so then, so this configuration has existed for
so since twenty nineteen. Yes, yeah, okay, okay, and then
we should talk about and we'll we'll circle back to it.
Of course, we'll mention it a couple of times during
this hour. But you got a big show tonight and
you're even giving away some CDs for it, so we
should tell people about that. And for those watching online,
(11:54):
if you're watching on Facebook or YouTube or any of
the other various platforms that we stream the video to,
you do have some CDs right there in your hands.
Speaker 13 (12:01):
I have, and there will be more whoever comes to
the show tonight at Terminus Underground for the Shadow Lounge event,
which is also Eleanor's birthday.
Speaker 12 (12:13):
Happy Birthday, Happy birth Happy Birthday.
Speaker 13 (12:17):
And uh so uh this is uh is going to
be a fun little gothy dance party night. And uh yeah,
we'll have some CDs for you. You come over there,
you come and enjoy some tunes, You come and dance
with us, and you just say, hey, I heard you
on the show. And guess what you get A free CD.
Speaker 11 (12:38):
Very nice, very nice. Yes, uh the new CD of course, Uh,
none for all. And this is how many songs are
there's a lot of songs.
Speaker 14 (12:49):
Yeah, yeah, there's a couple extra tracks, but basically ten songs.
Speaker 11 (12:52):
Okay, okay, great you guys. You guys have done a
lot of If you've done any EPs or has it
all been full length albums? I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
No.
Speaker 13 (12:59):
The thing is is like, so where the Darkness came
from was kind of based off of an EP, and
so what ended up without what did? There was a
couple of different recording sessions that we did the Darkness
came out of.
Speaker 12 (13:17):
Was that the one with Connor?
Speaker 18 (13:19):
So that was.
Speaker 12 (13:23):
Did the Darkness?
Speaker 17 (13:24):
We did our Bad Moon Rising cover then and then
we also did Black Collar Worker.
Speaker 12 (13:31):
And the Struggle in.
Speaker 13 (13:31):
The Struggle, and then we did a later session with
Joel which was Nameless Dream and End of the Bloodline.
Those two EPs technically will eventually be put together to
be the first half of None for All. So that
(13:55):
EP sect, because you have the story of the Mortuus Ortis,
was the first CD, so that's its own. Then there
was the six songs that were only put out digitally
never physically. Oh okay, so those will eventually be put
onto physical gotcha, And that will be the first part
All for None and none for all.
Speaker 11 (14:15):
Oh interesting, interesting, okay? And Mortuous Artists. That was so
when I when I first met you guys, that was
the original. That was like the precursor to Dead Harrison,
right correct? And then what was the change to becoming
Dead Harrison. I don't know, and I'm sure you've told
the story before on the show. I don't remember exactly
how it went, and of course, you know, new our
listeners won't know, like, like, how did how did you
(14:37):
go from from uh, mortuous Artists to becoming Dead Harrison.
Speaker 13 (14:41):
It was nameplay basically, in the first incarnation of trying
and putting together, the guys was thinking of a Halloween
feel and I was just like, oh, you know, Dead
Rising would be cool, But at the same time, it
was a video game. It was that's so I just
threw Dead Rising through a Latin translator and it came
(15:05):
back with mortuous or okay, and so I was like, oh,
that sounds cool. We ran with that for like three years.
Like as the name problem is is everybody kept misspelling
it all I remember that they couldn't remember it and
they couldn't pronounce it. So it was like, ah, we
got to do something different, and so that was a
(15:26):
brainstorming thing where I went back home and I was
just like, I'm going to throw this back into an
English translator from Latin, and it gave me Dead having
a risen. And as I was saying dead having a
risen in my head, for some reason, George Harrison popped
into my head and I was like, Dead having a risen,
(15:47):
Dead Harrison, Ye, I like that, ye, And yeah, so
it had like a little bit of a dark dive
with beginning with Dead, but then Harrison was just kind
of like uplifting. I mean, we could put Harrison too,
like different names and faces and whatnot, but it was
just like it was just developing a character now, you know.
(16:08):
Now it's a little bit more than just a name.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Well.
Speaker 11 (16:12):
The great thing too about having a name like that
is you don't have to worry that somebody else is
going to have it, you know, whereas what Dead having arisen,
you know, there's probably some there's probably some death metal
band somewhere that has that name already, you know what
I mean, you know, and then then you know, you
go to upload it to Spotify and oh, somebody already
has his name. But but Dad Harrison, you know, chances are.
I mean, I assume you have not encountered another week.
Speaker 17 (16:35):
And we've trademarked the website name and everything, so yeah,
we someone else snagging it, right, Yeah, that's good. Yeah,
And that was another reason why we change it too,
because like the mortuous Orders, you think it's probably some
like really heavy.
Speaker 12 (16:49):
Everybody a black metal band. Yeah you know you listen
to us. No, it's not quite what we are dis
a point.
Speaker 11 (16:59):
So the show tonight, like who else is playing?
Speaker 8 (17:02):
Is it?
Speaker 11 (17:02):
Is it just you guys?
Speaker 12 (17:03):
Or is that the show tonight that we're playing on
DJ and oh you are so?
Speaker 13 (17:08):
Oh okay, Dred the Dad is going to be spinning
some oh C classics, oh club class.
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Oh wow, okay, and we have a show.
Speaker 14 (17:16):
Next week is oh point, that'll be us.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
That'll be the oh okay on the twenty fifth.
Speaker 11 (17:24):
Oh so tell us about that.
Speaker 12 (17:26):
Oh that's going to be fun.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (17:28):
I have to kind of pull up the events so
I can make sure that I get well able.
Speaker 18 (17:33):
Blood's going to be on there. Nice Realm oh yeah
yeah with septic.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
Benic Realm. Yeah, they were on last week. They came
in and played acoustic. I was like, wow, this is impressive.
Speaker 13 (17:45):
Actually, I think able Blood is not able to play.
Speaker 11 (17:48):
Oh yeah, but we have which is love which Trot.
Speaker 12 (17:53):
Yeah, they're going to be joining us for that one.
Speaker 17 (17:55):
Benthic Realm Psychomancium that was the other one, then the
Concept Core they're really good, and then we'll be we'll
be headlining. Yeah, and that one starts at seven pm
and it's the ritual of Sam Haynen.
Speaker 11 (18:12):
Who's Sam Hayne No, I'm kidding, Harrison's brother. Yeah, very cool.
We should talk a little bit more too about so
people who aren't familiar with Terminus Underground, like like what
should people know about that? But people haven't been there.
You know what I tell everybody. I always say, the
first time you walk into that, into that room, it's
(18:34):
like walking into a different world.
Speaker 13 (18:36):
Yeah, I mean it's pretty much how it is, because, uh,
what people don't realize is like that place is actually
our rehearsal spot, and so it's grown as like an
art of spot. Also because it's like I have my
art up on the wall, the guys all like we
have all made it into like this cool room. Yeah,
(19:00):
you know, so it has its own feeling, it has
I mean, granted I spent countless hours in there, just decorating,
putting stuff ufling.
Speaker 12 (19:07):
I mean, it's just because that's what I do.
Speaker 11 (19:10):
I remember when you were when you were kind of
still building it. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 13 (19:14):
So as it grows, as it like gets new things
and new pieces and moving stuff around and like it's
keeping a very uh homey feel, but at the same
time it kind of has like a cool little nod
to horror vibe, Like it has a creepy element, but
(19:34):
at the same time, like has this really comfortable, Like
you're going to be comfortable dying here?
Speaker 14 (19:40):
Right, It's very it's very inviting there, yeah, ye spot Yeah.
Speaker 11 (19:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (19:46):
Everybody loves it.
Speaker 15 (19:48):
Every every single person I've talked to who's been there,
they're just blown away.
Speaker 14 (19:52):
You know.
Speaker 15 (19:53):
They come in they're just like, I don't believe how
incredible this is. And you can tell that, you know,
Andrea and ellenor just really care about the scene. I
really want to make everybody feel part of it, whether
you're in a band performing or you're an audience member.
Speaker 11 (20:07):
You know, it's just there.
Speaker 14 (20:09):
You know, it's just a good vibe all around.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 13 (20:12):
Yeah, make sure it's loud, impeccable sound yep, an atmosphere
and that community of people that are there. I mean
it's always just been everybody has always because you you
are a smaller group. So like when you have the
smaller group of people that people have to bump into
each other. It stirs conversations, people make new friends.
Speaker 11 (20:35):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 13 (20:35):
So yeah, that's what makes it like fun and inviting.
Speaker 11 (20:41):
Well, it's kind of a big part of the mission too, right, yeah,
you know of can you talk a little bit about
that too, because you know, you mentioned community, which is
an important word when you're talking about a place like that,
because it's not you know, obviously a sniotypical venue, you know,
and it's not for people who don't know. It's not
a bar, it's not you know, it's uh, I mean
what how do you describe it to people?
Speaker 12 (21:01):
Private music club? Yeah, it's a private music club.
Speaker 13 (21:04):
It's like for people who really want music, they don't
want to go to a place that's just like the
bar vibe, right, you know, this is not a place
for the bar vibe. This is a place to have
that experience, like you can get comfortable, you can sit
on a couch, you can get right up and be
right there with the band, you know, ye bring your
own drinks, so it makes it so much more cost effective,
(21:29):
and at the same time, the.
Speaker 12 (21:32):
Cover pays the bands.
Speaker 13 (21:35):
You know, we're not a bar trying to get people
to come in and feed our business by having bands play.
We are about the bands and showing the talent to
the world and also for them to feel like they
are able to be rewarded with what they do, whether
it's you know, monetarily, but mainly it's like, if you're
(21:58):
a band and you play there, your stage sound is
mint oh yeah, and so getting your stage sound you
just play so much better.
Speaker 12 (22:10):
So when people see musicians there, they're seeing.
Speaker 13 (22:13):
Them at like the top of their game because it's
all encompassing the feeling of that.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
Yeah. Yeah. My favorite night there that the Jenny and
I have been at was Green Jello.
Speaker 12 (22:26):
Of course.
Speaker 11 (22:28):
It was fun and although I was nervous for you
guys too, because because the whole night, I just it's
just how my mind works. The whole night I was thinking,
I hope nothing gets broken. I really hope nothing gets broken.
There was so many pool noodles, and apparently something did
get broken, but it wasn't anything. Anybody was worried about.
Speaker 14 (22:43):
I guess, yeah, just an artifact, but that was a
lot of fun.
Speaker 11 (22:52):
What are kind of the criteria for, like, because it
seems like you've had quite a few different different kinds
of of artists play there, Like, it's been a wide
variety of artists. It's not in other words, it's not
just all it's not just all metal, it's not just
all hard rocks.
Speaker 12 (23:07):
That's gonna probably change though.
Speaker 13 (23:09):
Really yeah, next year, moving forward, I think we're gonna
go because fortunately, like the things and that was the
whole thing, is the thing that we wanted to do
was just fill that hole that was happening in our
local community of like places to go to see original
music and see good original music, and everything has been
(23:30):
so shut down still or dialed back that people just
are not going out to shows as much. But now
things are kind of coming back, and we've inspired a
couple of other places in town to actually start doing
shows there, So we're gonna start hosting some of them
outside of our place.
Speaker 11 (23:52):
Oh excellent, so excellent.
Speaker 12 (23:53):
We have a couple of.
Speaker 13 (23:54):
Plays like The Spot and kettle Head over there in
Nashville are like focusing more on like having good equipment
and really providing a better experience music listening experience good.
So we're kind of like, it's nice to see that
(24:15):
start happening. But the thing is is, like, you know,
a main street venue is going to be less inclined
to do metal and darker rock, right, So now that
we have those other places out there, we can all
the musicians that have been looking for and where we've
(24:35):
been hosting that void can now go out there to
the general public a little bit easier. But we want
to continue like staying into like the dark and heavy
and so we're going to kind of keep it that
but focus our attention a little bit more into that
genre for the places that are missing in the public realm.
Speaker 11 (24:55):
Interesting. Yeah, yeah, no, I think that's great. That's very exciting. Well,
I think we should play So we're gonna play another
Dad Harrison track and we're gonna play one three nine.
But tell us about this What should we know about
this song? Because this is an older one, right.
Speaker 15 (25:10):
This is a much older one from when we used
to practice at the Morgue over here, you know, Morgan's
and and we were practicing in this tiny room, like
one of the smallest rooms you could possibly be in
this was this is when we were a three piece,
you know, so long ago, and it was so small.
I'm like I had to stand in front of the
(25:30):
door to perform or to you know, to play, yeah,
and I'd have to like you know, physically not be
in front of the door so that we could get
in and out. But we were in room one thirty nine,
and I just yeah, and I just had this idea
because it was early on and we're trying to write
songs for a first album and songs you know, to
play out live.
Speaker 14 (25:50):
Yeah, and I just had this song.
Speaker 15 (25:52):
You know, like what if I wrote something about this
room and the music the stuff that comes out of
this Yeah, And so it just kind of came together
as a store where it turned into this you know,
this guy going down like a dark cord or like
you know, way deep underground, just like someplace where nobody
is and just in there and you know it's just
(26:14):
dark as hell, and you know, it comes upon a
door that's just like like what is this? It's just
different than everything else. It's just like there's something about it,
and you know he's like there and he's like checking
it out, and it's just like you know, it's like
a portal. It's like dark, it's dark, but there's a
glow to it. It's hot but it's cold at the
same time. And then basically he ends up going inside
(26:37):
this room and then he goes mad, like in the room,
he can't get out. It's just, you know, all this
evil stuff is happening.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
You know.
Speaker 15 (26:44):
I was like, I took the idea of us performing
and then just like you know, it made it a
lot darker, not about us at all, but yeah, it
turned out really well.
Speaker 14 (26:55):
And you know, I'm proud of writing that one.
Speaker 11 (26:58):
Yeah, for sure. Nice.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
That one's from the story of mortu ressortis our first album.
Speaker 11 (27:02):
Okay, gotcha, gotcha?
Speaker 12 (27:04):
That is the one.
Speaker 11 (27:04):
Then my wrong call, Yes, yes, all right, fantastic. If

Speaker 11 (35:34):
That is one three nine and the band is Dead Harrison,
and we have Dead Harrison here with us live in studio,
and that that truck goes back aways and Jason, you
were talking off here about why why you guys wanted
to play that today?
Speaker 15 (35:49):
Yeah, I would like to tracks to get a little
airtime and discuss that song.
Speaker 16 (35:54):
That was a one of the harder songs back in
the day, at least from when I when I was
first starting off that, Uh, that was like one of
the the more challenging songs. That and Evil Things too.
That was a when I was getting into playing. These
songs like those are like the very challenging songs because
(36:17):
they're not they're not just uh, regular like rock metal
songs like yeah, there's a there's crescendos de crescendos, there's arts,
there's stops, there's goes.
Speaker 11 (36:27):
And like, yeah, there's a lot of dynamics to it.
Speaker 16 (36:29):
Back then I did I didn't have that mindset, I
guess really I wasn't. I was more like an old
kid at least getting into like just getting into regular
punk again. And yeah, uh like even back then, like
I wasn't really like a big Typo fan. Back then
I liked them, but I wasn't a huge fan. But
now that I've grown accustomed to like how Drey used
(36:52):
to play and how these guys jam, well yeah that
like I've I've had to not only like make my
drumming better, but also like my musicianship, my composition because
these guys don't think the same way as like oh
ab ab here you go. There's many different like nuances
that they do on purpose. So with one three nine,
(37:15):
it was very you know, step by step, Like it
wasn't good when I did it the first first time,
wasn't good. These guys have allowed me to make myself
better and put my own stamp on it. Eventually, Like
the first like year, year, maybe two years, I was
like meticulously just playing what what what what?
Speaker 18 (37:37):
Dra would play.
Speaker 16 (37:39):
But after after a while I was kind of like,
all right, well I could do this or do this,
but I still play to the same you know, idea,
the same vibe as it is. I don't I don't
like go too much out of the realm of it.
And that goes with all the songs too, So like
whatever I try to do, I try to do in
earnest to what you did first, and then like try
(38:01):
to like all right, maybe I can punch in here
or yeah, you know, Meldon.
Speaker 13 (38:05):
Will differently we give a little of your own flavor.
Speaker 11 (38:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah, well and that.
Speaker 17 (38:10):
I think it was driven a lot by what we
would choose to play live too write. So a song
like one thirty nine is a longer song. We've really
only mostly recently started to bring it out and play
it live, so it was really never prioritized. But when
we wrote our new album None for All, that is
(38:31):
where Thraxel really really shines, because those are songs he
took part in a writing. Yeah, right, in the creation process.
There may have been one or two that were previous
carryovers that we didn't necessarily record, but that is where
first it was him learning everything. This is what we've
recorded so far so you can play it live, and
(38:51):
then with none for all, it was like, Okay, now
you get to put your creative touch into defining like
what these songs are, yeah, from the rhythm standpoint.
Speaker 16 (39:00):
Actually, with even the early concepts, it kind of has
a story to it too, because doom Train was the
first one that I was like incorporated into because, like,
as you said, some of the other songs were already
like there already, but like you guys didn't do anything
with doom Train was like an organic song that just
(39:21):
happened out of not out of nowhere, but it just random.
Speaker 18 (39:26):
So like I think that was the.
Speaker 16 (39:30):
My third gig I had with these guys up in
northern Maine somewhere for Doom Days. It was like three
days of like just the most awesome doom rock and
metal but also like one of the some of the
most like caring people to a lot a lot of
good people. Yeah, But like one morning me and Jason
(39:52):
were just like just waking up trying to have coffee,
and like there was a a train offset from the
property and coming in, but it was making it like
a certain uh beat just naturally happen and me and
him were like, man, we should probably make a song
about that, and then like like we really thought everything
(40:14):
about it, Like we didn't want to just make it
a bam bam, here's a song. He really wanted to
have something to present. It took it took us what
two years to make that make that song fully into fruition,
between jamming it, uh, creating the different platforms that it
(40:34):
would it would jump up to the lyrics of itself.
And you know, that creativity that I didn't think would
like not even just come from me, but like organically
from all of us, was like a very unique experience
I didn't have up until that point. That that kind
of like the precursor of the of that album, because
(40:54):
there's a lot that goes into that album. There's a
lot of things that you can take from it. Sure,
a lot of dissonance, but there's a lot of like
good stuff that happens, and it kind of wraps up
at the end and yeah, anything you really wanted.
Speaker 15 (41:07):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's actually another song that I personally
put the lyrics to. I'm not the primary songwriter, but
you know, Sean writes songs on re Light writes songs too,
so I'm just one of the pieces, but that particular
one I kind of took the helmet. I was like, okay,
doom train, we'll call it doom train. And then I
have to think, well, what is a doom train? And
(41:29):
I kind of went from there, and you know, it's like,
on the surface, it's just about this train that rolls
through like and just causes destruction and devastation everywhere it goes,
just in its wake. Now to me, you know, whether
anyone out there believes this or not, it doesn't matter.
But you know, for me, it was more about climate
(41:50):
change is what the doom train became. So it's like
it's off in the distance, it doesn't really mean anything.
Most people dismiss it, and but then it, you know,
it rolls through and it's like, oh, here it is.
You know, this thing is upon us now and that's
and it's just like everything behind it is destructive and
you know what have you. So that's where lyrically that
(42:11):
came from. But yeah, to Thracks' point, musically, organically it
just kind of came together. It's like, okay, let's start
slow where the lyrics are slow and it's like in
the distance, and then it picks up and it you know,
it ramps up and turns on like a metal song.
And then by the end when all the destructions come
and it's just going full boares, going off the rails,
(42:31):
it's just you know, here we go and then it
just moves on to the next town.
Speaker 11 (42:36):
Yeah, oh no, I like that. Wow, that's great. Let's
see how much time. I want to make sure we
get so before we run out of time, I want
to make sure we talk about tonight again. Tonight and
the twenty fifth, but tonight first.
Speaker 12 (42:52):
Saturday Saturday Night.
Speaker 13 (42:53):
Saturday Saturday, come to Terminus Underground for a shadow Lounge
golf dance night where you can come and pick up
your free CD Dead Hairson.
Speaker 14 (43:06):
Tell people where it is. They don't know the address one.
Speaker 13 (43:09):
Four Haynes Street, nashaua, New Hampshire, and uh yeah, you're
gonna have some fun trying to find the place.
Speaker 12 (43:18):
It's a uh, it's definitely.
Speaker 13 (43:20):
Google Maps will send you on a little uh chase
and you'll be figuring out where the heck you're going.
Speaker 12 (43:27):
You're like, is this the end of the building.
Speaker 13 (43:30):
And if you're at the place and you don't see
a bunch of cars parked in front. If you don't
see a big sign that says Predium packaging up on
the building, you're at the wrong end of the building.
Speaker 18 (43:41):
Now you're an actual terminus, and you might possibly and
then oh.
Speaker 13 (43:47):
I'm true old terminous. I'm trying to see Oh oh, look,
we talked about that, did it. You know what, nobody's
gonna hear it. Nobody's gonna hear my mistake.
Speaker 11 (44:06):
Well, they'll hear it on the podcast for a mistake,
it's a mistake.
Speaker 13 (44:12):
But yeah, I mean Google will try and send you
around the block and put you at the wrong end
of the building. Sometimes it'll put people right at the
front door, and then other times it won't. And I
discovered why because if you look at the map itself,
if not the satellite view, but you look at like
the topographical kind of map of the roads of the
(44:34):
drawn out Yeah, it doesn't show our driveway connecting with
Hain Street. There's like a dead spot. Oh and I
think Google is seeing that dead spot and sends them
down the other connecting roads.
Speaker 11 (44:51):
The map it is hit or missed though, because for
some reason I seem to remember the first time Jenny
and I went there, it did it worked like it
took us straight there. It brought us straight there. But
but maybe it wasn't the first time. Maybe it was
the second time. Maybe the first time we had to
look for it. I don't know, but I feel like
there was a time where it actually did bring us
straight there. But who knows.
Speaker 13 (45:10):
So just remember when you're going down Haynes Street, you
go past the big ball fields on your left and
you start going down the hill, keep going straight, do
not turn with the road it turns into another road. Yeah,
going straight, you'll see a big brick building straight in
front of you.
Speaker 12 (45:27):
And that's the side that we're on.
Speaker 11 (45:28):
Yeah, yeah, outstanding.
Speaker 16 (45:30):
It's an uber driver's nightmare. Oh I can imagine, it's
an over driver's nightmare.
Speaker 11 (45:35):
I can I can imagine, no doubt, no doubt. So
that what time does that start tonight?
Speaker 13 (45:41):
I believe seven o'clock, doors seventh. Yeah, we're gonna just
like h and it's just going to be a night
of fun Cothy dance music and YEP, partying it up.
Speaker 11 (45:51):
And they get a free CD if they mentioned that
they heard the show absolutely outstanding, outstanding, And then what's
coming up the twenty fifth?
Speaker 13 (45:57):
Twenty fifth is our Halloween show also Terminus Underground, which
you would be able to catch.
Speaker 12 (46:04):
Somebody say all the names again, my brain is.
Speaker 18 (46:09):
Ethnic realm witch Trot yes, and.
Speaker 12 (46:17):
Psycho Psychomic.
Speaker 11 (46:22):
Oh oh psychomantheum, okay, okay, yeah, witch Trot. It's funny,
you know they were on the show like Jues. It
must have been three years ago now, but I but
I still have the shirt. And I was wearing the
shirt one day and Jenny and I were doing our
grocery shopping at Market Basket and Bedford and somebody stopped
me and said, hey, witch Trot. Somebody knew the band,
and I was very excited to see me wearing the shirt.
Speaker 5 (46:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (46:43):
Absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 15 (46:44):
I actually have a little funny story similar to that.
So a few weeks ago, my sister was visiting from
Colorado and I was with the family and we went
out to Parker's Maple Barn as some people probably know
out in Mason, and you know, I come home and
you know, I'm just like whatever, and they're like, oh,
you know, chat from the band, you know what's going on,
And Thrax had a picture.
Speaker 14 (47:05):
Of my back at Parker's and I just like huh.
Speaker 15 (47:11):
It was like kind of did not really compute, and
it turned out like one of his friends saw me,
and I don't know if if they knew it was
me or if they just thought it was a fan,
but they saw Dead Harrison on the back of my shirt,
which is why it says dead Harrison on my shirt,
so people see it. And it was just kind of
this this funny thing that's like wow, it's like, you know,
(47:31):
I haven't been here in like a couple of years.
I'm here and this other guy at the exact same time,
and he recognized his shirt friends with Racks and like
sends him the picture. So so your point with the
witch Trot shirt, it was like one of those things
that I just recognized. Yeah, you just ever know, You
just never know, That's what and that's why we wear
these shirts.
Speaker 11 (47:50):
Yes, Yes.
Speaker 16 (47:50):
Shout out to Don Richardson for being at Parkers at
the exact same time.
Speaker 18 (47:55):
So he's also like a recorder producer.
Speaker 11 (47:57):
And I've heard the name.
Speaker 16 (47:59):
Don Richardson has shout outs to Midlife Crisis Production Productions,
Okay studios.
Speaker 18 (48:04):
He has his own recording studio in his house.
Speaker 11 (48:07):
Oh okay, very cool, very cool. Where should people go
online to keep up with everything Dad Harrison is doing.
Speaker 17 (48:14):
So they should go to our website, Dad Harrison dot com.
Also our Facebook page gets a ton of updates on there,
and then you can listen to us. We're on Spotify,
you know, We're on Pandora, most streaming platforms, iTunes, and
then we have physical copies of discs, mostly just of
the new one. You know, if you if you come
see us in person, we have a bunch of copies
(48:35):
of the new one. And I do want to talk
a little bit about the new album. Yeah, yeah, absolutely
none for all.
Speaker 12 (48:40):
So that's that's.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
Uh.
Speaker 17 (48:41):
We recorded that twenty fourteen. Uh, this was done at
Blackheart Sound in Manchester.
Speaker 11 (48:48):
Oh yeah, that's a name that comes up a lot
on the show.
Speaker 5 (48:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (48:51):
Yeah, So definitely this was like the probably the most
that we've put into for an album. Okay, but both
financially and just I think with preparation of writing new
material for an album, making sure we were super sharp
with it, and then really having a professional experience to
put it together and have some really good sounding music
(49:11):
for people to listen to. Not that what we did
before didn't sound good, but it was more of a
d d Y type of setup that we had done
before with our previous stuff, so this was really doing
the legit studio experience. So we're super proud of that.
And we talked about doom Train earlier that there's a
few other songs where we really got to put some
(49:33):
of our experimentation into play, where you really get kind
of an auditory journey when you're listening through the song.
We really kind of spent that time to take care
and make sure everything flowed together well, right, Yeah, And
we had that creative license to do that there with
a really good recording engineer and mastering Eric amazing.
Speaker 11 (49:54):
Yeah, absolutely everything he does is great and well in
a moment, so we're gonna time. Time goes quick, but
in a moment, we're gonna wrap up with Terror Grinder
and anything we should know about that specifically other than
my personal favorite sounds like it's a favorite of a
lot of people.
Speaker 17 (50:10):
Yeah, And I actually wrote that song quite a few
years back, but we never really materialized it into kind
of the heavy song that it was. It was when
we kind of just played with at first, probably a
good I don't know, five or six years ago, yeah,
maybe even longer. And and we for this one, we
really put it together, made sure we had some turn
into kind of this heavy song and it's sort of
(50:31):
about this this Terror Grinder, this big sort of hard
to describe but massive force, just kind of going through
and destroying everything in its wake. And you can probably
draw different analogies too. Is this something physical? Is this
something like with the world around us right now?
Speaker 12 (50:47):
Stuff like that. I'll leave that for the listener decide
how they feel about it.
Speaker 17 (50:51):
But it more is just it's a cool tune as
well to listen to and kind of go you know oo,
you know, you kind of go around with it, and
we have a good time with it live, like getting
people to get involved with it and stuff. So yeah,
that's why I think it's it's a favorite because people
like singing along with songs and you know, yeah, going
along with it.
Speaker 11 (51:09):
So yeah, absolutely, no, great great track. Well, Dead Harrison,
thank you all so much, Thank you all four of
you for coming in. This has been amazing, Thanks for
having us, having us absolutely absolutely we will close out
