We'll start over here.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I am Jeremy and I'm the vocalist.

Welcome Jeremy, thank you.

Speaker 6 (04:45):

Oh, business magician, I like that all right.
Speaker 12 (04:51):
Welcome David, Thank you, and you sir, and I'm Joe
and I pray to bees.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
All right, welcome Joe. So yeah, and I'm glad that
you're all here. You know, sometimes not everyone you have
a five V span, there's usually at least one person
who doesn't make it right. So it's cool you're all here.
So we should let's start with this because it was
just announced. So you're now the co headliners on Swarmyfest,
right with Sepsis. Yeah, coming up in November. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Yes, very excited about that. We can't wait to play
that show on November fifteenth. And we've been friends with
Sepsist for a while and it's it's exciting to finally
be able to play with those guys up here and
gals in Manchester.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Yeah, at Jewel November fifteenth. And so how did that?
How did that come about? How did that was that?
You're the you're the business magician, right, yes, so did
are you the one who made that happen? Or how
did that come about?
Speaker 6 (05:39):
It was actually a great question, Matt. It was a
collaborative effort between Joe and I. Joe knows the promoter
and most of the folks in Sepsis, so we got together.
We had a good conversation with Will and their team
and also the promoter Allowed Entertainment, and they said, hey,
let's let's do something. We want you guys to play
(05:59):
the show. It's been a while and we're going to
rock it and it's just history from there. So we're
ready to go and we hope to see everyone at
that show. It's going to be great.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
Rhythm section makes it happen, right, it's right, right, Joe.
I'm a bass player, so I you know, so I
appreciate you. So you guys have been this band, Silent
Season has been around since what two thousand and eight?
Is that correct?
Speaker 13 (06:24):
Eight?
Speaker 10 (06:24):
Okay, okay, I was commenting off air. You know how
impressive that is to me because it's not you know,
you don't see a ton of longevity in the in
the music business. But I assume the lineup has changed
over the years, right, somewhat right for your time?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Who are so?
Speaker 10 (06:39):
Who are the original members? You guys have been here
since the beginning, yeah, and then and then everyone else,
so everyone else has changed. So what So I'm curious,
So what is it that because a lot of times
when there's lineup changes, especially over the course of So
I'm not good at math.
Speaker 12 (06:56):
What is that?
Speaker 10 (06:58):
How many years is almost a wow, it's a lot
of years.
Speaker 12 (07:01):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
Mean what is it that's driven you to keep this
thing going?
Speaker 13 (07:06):
Like?
Speaker 10 (07:07):
How do you how do you keep or maybe you've
taken breaks along the way with the band? I don't know,
but but what is it that keeps Silent Season going
after all this time?
Speaker 14 (07:14):
I think it's the music. I think it's the fans
who have supported us over the years.
Speaker 10 (07:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I think it's the drive.
Speaker 14 (07:23):
You know, if you have all of those ingredients, I
think it just leads to, you know, wanting to continue
no matter what happens.
Speaker 10 (07:29):
Yeah, it's so fun. Yeah yeah, yeah. So I'm curious
between the two of you, Jeremy and Brendan. Yes, I'm assume.
I assume. I mean, has there ever been when you've
got to change members? Because you know, I've been in
a lot of bands, and I know people come and
people go. I was in a band a long time
ago called My Life Crisis, and I was the only like,
(07:51):
there were so many changes over the years, but I
was the only original member. I was the only one
who was in every single lineup of that band, and
it was hard, you know, always keep it going. You
know people you know, Sepsist has gone through that too.
You know they've had a lot of jeez, Jenny, do
you remember that that night that you were online and
you saw like they'd lost Will and Melissa, like like
(08:13):
everybody left and they had to replace everybody, like when
one fell swoop end it did. It all worked out.
But but but that's one of the challenges.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Right with the band change.
Speaker 14 (08:24):
And now you look at modern like these days, everybody's
suing everybody else.
Speaker 10 (08:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, when you.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Look at like old school rockers, right guys we all
grew up with, and like now they're.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
All sewing each other.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Oh yeah, it's so great to see people stay together
and play and continue the music. Yeah, in a positive way, right, yeah.
But I'm curious between the two of you, at any point,
has there ever been a discussion about, I don't know,
do we want to keep doing this or or have
you guys always been on the same page or I
mean I think that.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
For the most part we've been on the same page.
Speaker 14 (08:56):
There's been you know, a question of like, you know,
if it is worth doing and I think we always
come back to the same answer that it is because
we just love what we do. And yeah, I mean
it's just important to us. It's kind of like our
baby at the end of the day, you know, right right.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
Plus you know you've had some success, you've gotten some
some radio play. I was, I was, you know, as
I was reading about you guys, and it's like, you know,
so you build up a name, it's like you don't
want to just let all that go right, just just
because you know somebody has to go or so now,
so how long? So endz? So how long have you
been in the band? About two years? Two years? Okay?
Are you the new are you the new guy? Are
you the newest member. I'm not the newest member. That's
(09:37):
actually Joe. Joe's the newist. Okay, all right? And then
so and David, how long have you been in the band?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
So? I actually I started the band with Jeremy back
in two thousand and eight. Oh okay, and then Brendan
came along shortly thereafter. And then as as Jeremy mentioned.
Speaker 10 (09:54):
Oh so you're an original member too, yeah, okay, so
the three of you okay, gotcha? Okay?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
And then you know, I remember lineup changes, you know,
like every band typically goes through. Yes, we discussed, but
then Enzo and Joe came into the fold, and you know,
it works out. It's clicking really well, and we're very
excited about the future of Silent Season.
Speaker 10 (10:14):
Yeah. So where does the name come from? The obvious question,
because it's a cool name.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
So I was listening to a breaking Benjamin song. I
believe it was called Sign of Season. Okay, but but
I said to myself, hey, why don't we say something
about Silent Season Because the time we started the band,
there were a lot of venues closing, and there were
a lot of negative things happening in the music industry
with you know, just coming off the whole Napster thing
and digital downloading, and there was just a mix of
(10:41):
like a lot of crazy things happening. So we said,
why don't we try to come out with a positive
message and you know, just say, hey, how can we
overcome this, and especially in the rock genre, like how
can we get everything back to a good spot and
try to help influence the scene.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, now that's cool.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
I like that.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
I like that it came from a good you know,
a good positive perspective, and yeah, I yeah, two thousand
and eight. I'm trying to think of, like what was
what was happening? So yeah, I guess I was kind
of just right after yeah, not too long, right after
Napster or and everything, and there was such a transition happening.
It's almost in my mind sometimes it's hard to pinpoint
(11:21):
because you know, the the music business has gone through
so many just you know, in the last you know,
twenty years, so many changes, right, It's it's uh but
you know, and not everyone can adapt to it, and
you know, being able to adapt is is uh is
so important. So when you so how long, like so
(11:42):
the three of you guys started it together and then
like did it come together pretty quickly when you all
started working together or or did it take a while
to get it off the ground or uh?
Speaker 14 (11:51):
Yeah, So I mean Dave and I had been in
a previous band together before. Oh so we had chemistry
as far as you know, knowing like you know, what
musicals we had and all that.
Speaker 10 (12:00):
Kind of stuff that always helps.
Speaker 14 (12:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then you know, after we had
Brendan come in and then another original member and Brendan's
brother actually oh wow, that was our original lineup and
uh yeah, no, after that. I mean we we were recording,
we were playing out. I think one of our first
shows was with tap Root, which was pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Nice at the time.
Speaker 14 (12:24):
So yeah, we we just were getting into it real fast.
I think we had a couple connections and stuff which
made it a little easier. But yeah, it wasn't It
wasn't too hard at the time, I don't think.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
And Matt quick backstory there quickly when we came together.
I have to say this on all the interviews, Jeremy
and I formulated this band idea at a Wendy's over
some fries at Frosty No kidding.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
Yeah, that's where all the great ideas start, that's right.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
And then so.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
The the songs that we're hearing today, Now, these are
are these from over a period of time because he
has a voviy you know, you've recorded a lot of music.
I assume over over all these years. These aren't all
from one album, correct or maybe I'm wrong about that.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
No, They're they're kind of spread out, spread out.
Speaker 10 (13:09):
Yeah, yeah, Now one was in Flames. Is that one
of the more recent ones or is that?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yes, in Flames is are one of our newest ones
that we've been pushing.
Speaker 10 (13:16):
Okay, yeah, great track, great track, thank you.
Speaker 12 (13:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (13:18):
Has the process changed over the years as far as
writing and recording, and I mean, obviously with different members,
I assume a change is somewhat, But what about the
overall approach.
Speaker 14 (13:27):
I think, like you were talking or you were talking
about with the music industry, some things end up changing
as far as uh, like technology and what you were
able to do when we first started versus what we're
able to do now.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 14 (13:40):
Because when we first started, you know, we were all
just in a basement and we were just writing there
and like recording off of this awful computer that we had. Yeah,
and and or just like a tape or something like that. Yeah,
really aging us at this point. But but you know,
now we have all this technology and you can just
like record anything, you know, at the palm of your hands,
(14:02):
you know. Yeah, you have computers that can do professional
recordings and stuff like that. So oh yeah, we kind
of get ideas, you know, based off of that. We
also jam together. It's kind of a mixture of both
at this point. But yeah, yeah, but it's cool because
you know, you have all this stuff at your fingertips
and yeah, It's just makes it a lot easier.
Speaker 10 (14:20):
It's an amazing time to be alive. Yes, I always
say too with the pandemic, which I assume affected you guys,
because it affected everybody, right, you know, it affected the
music industry certainly. You know, it was a terrible experience collectively,
but we got to find these silver linings where we can.
And one of the silver linings of it is I
think it really and this comes up all the time
on the show, I think it really forced people to
(14:42):
kind of think of a thing outside the box creatively
of you know, well, how can we continue to make music?
And and you know, the technology was already there as
far as you know, we already had, you know, so
for example, if you're recording and you're sending tracks back
and forth, we already had things like Google Drive and
Dropbox and everything. But I think the pandemic kind of
forced people, some people who may have been a little
bit technophobic and a little bit resistant to using that
(15:04):
stuff to really embrace that and and you know, learn
you know, what's going on in terms of technology, and
how can I use that, because you know, if I don't,
if I don't learn this stuff, now I'm kind of screwed.
I know, I can tell you for myself, just as
an aside. I also work as a hypnotherapist, and I'd
(15:25):
always been really resistant to doing sessions online until, you know,
till that was the only way to do them for
a while, you know, so, But but yeah, that's that's
one of those few silver linings about the pandemic. I
think it kind of forced everyone forward in terms of
technology and uh, you know, and a lot of people,
a lot of people we've had on the show over
the years too, have talked about how you know, They'll say,
(15:47):
I didn't think I could you know, I could play,
I could write, but I didn't think I could record.
I didn't think I could engineer something. But I was
forced to learn how to do it. And now I'm
really glad I learned how to do it, you know,
So knowledge is power. Why don't we play another track?
I really I love all these songs, They're so good.
Usually I leave it to the guests. I would like
(16:07):
to be with your permission. I'd like to be a
little bit selfish and play hopeless.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Okay, also do it because this song.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
I love this song, and I like all of them,
but this one really connected with me. I'm curious if
there's a story behind this one or or anything anything
we should know about it before we hear it.
Speaker 14 (16:25):
Yeah, I mean it was it was kind of written
at a time where I was feeling really I mean hopeless.
Speaker 12 (16:32):
I was.
Speaker 14 (16:33):
I was not I was not in a good place.
I didn't really know like where my life was going
and know where, you know, what what was in the future.
And and it's kind we kind of try to put
a positive spin on all of our music and you know,
make it so like you know, telling people they can
get out of that, they can they can conquer, you know,
whatever they're feeling or you know, all the negative stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Yeah, and you know, music is therapy for me in
that sense.
Speaker 14 (17:01):
And that's that's how I got out of my hopeless
kind of feeling, is by you know, writing that with
the guys and yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
And yeah, no, that's that's basically what it's about.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
Well that's the thing too, about you know, using music
and creating art for therapy, because not only do I
think it's the best therapy, right when you take anything
that's bothering you or a trauma or anything and you
create something out of it that is art. That's I
think the best way to deal with it. But also
with music as an example, it also ends up helping
other people too, because then they can relate to it
and you know, Okay, I feel this and that's you know,
(17:34):
and then they connect to the song too, So you're
you help yourself, but you also help other people too.
And you know, you've probably had people tell you over
the years that that's.
Speaker 14 (17:43):
One of the most rewarding things that you can have
a fan tell you is that this this song helped
me through this time.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Yep, because I know that.
Speaker 14 (17:49):
You know, I went through a bunch of times when
I was a kid and I listened to songs and
they helped me through those.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
Yeah. Absolutely, Well, let's give this a spin. When was
this recorded? Is this one of the newer ones?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Or this is also one the newer one?
Speaker 10 (18:00):
Oh cool cool? I thought, so, okay, excellent. Uh, if
you are just joining us, we have Silent Season here
with us in studio and let's listen to this. This
track is called Hopeless.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Feels of Pressure calling JOm I'm feel safe behind every
single day all the same.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
J Cham.
Speaker 1 (18:58):

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Chat see let in s sange.
Speaker 15 (20:58):
I'll say, sure sound.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
Mm hmmm. I love that. That is hopeless. The band
is Silent Season, and we've got Silent Season here with
us alive in studio. Yeah, that's that's such a great track.
I love that chorus. It's very very strong. Whoops, there
we go and have all those mics on. It's very uh. Yeah,
it's a great chorus. It's very catchy, lyrics are very inspiring.
It's funny too because it kind of fools you, right
because the song is called hopeless, but it's actually very hopeful.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
So it's a little little twist there. That's that's nice.
But no, I like that a lot. Yeah that that
came out what last year? Was that what I was reading?
Speaker 12 (22:07):
Correct?
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Yeah, so it's been out for a little bit, but yeah, great,
great track. I also want to mention too, Uh Sheila
from paper Jam was she had messaged I think she
had messaged. Did she message that about how you guys
are one of her favorite bands? And she was so
thrilled to be able to interview you on her birthday
(22:28):
for paper Jam.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (22:29):
So yeah, so congratulations right now.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Folks up there at paper Jam, we appreciate all their support.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, always send me the best artists.
Oh yeah, yeah. We get a lot of guests from them,
and uh, you know, every month we always look forward
to getting paper Jam in the mail too. It's so
cool that, you know, because too, that's quite an undertaking
in the digital age, you know, to to say, Okay,
we're gonna put out this magazine, you know what I mean.
(22:57):
And I remember when we had them on the show.
Speaker 12 (22:59):
I I.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I asked Sheila and Tony, I said, did anyone when
you started payper Jam, did anyone try to talk you
out of it? Did anyone say you know, do you
really want to you know, in a time when you know,
traditional publications have struggled and have been struggling for well
probably twenty years with the rise of digital media, do
you really want to do this? And they said no,
No one really tried to, Like everyone was like super
(23:21):
supportive and it worked out.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
So you know, that's great.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
They're having a lot of success with it.
Speaker 12 (23:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Yeah, Joe introduced introduced us to paper Jam. He was
very connected to them before.

Speaker 10 (24:43):
When you when you play live, do you play songs
that span, you know, the entire history of the band
or how does that work? Because like we've talked about,
you guys have been around a while. You got a
lot of music, right.
Speaker 11 (24:55):
We try to get the ones that like the singles
like Chance was the same from Breaking then Breaking Breaking
Me Down, Breaking Benjamin, Yeah, and then with the couple
from the War Within and the definitely the newest ones
we definitely try to fit in there as well.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
Yeah, Yeah, how many albums do you have as a band,
or or albums.
Speaker 14 (25:18):
And EPs or we have one full album, we have
one e P and then we have a bunch of singles.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
And you were saying earlier, Matt, about the time of COVID,
we really sort of changed our stance, you know, with
a lot of bands, Like we saw bands like spirit
Box and releasing singles. You know, it became a little
bit more like get the content out quicker and you know,
keep the base engage. So we decided to do more singles.
And but we're you know, we're you know, that's not
(25:47):
going to stop us. I should say, we're we're thinking
about you know, EPs and you know, get a collection
of our art out there, you know, so we're I
guess it just really depends on the mood and what's
going on out there, because we don't we also, you know,
we want to be able to deliver what the fan,
the friends and want from Silent Season.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
That's another thing that's changed too, is so many different
ways to release music now. You know, when I was
growing up, it was, you know, you've got an album
and then you've got a series of singles. If you're lucky,
you have a series of singles, or maybe you only
have one. You know, it depends. But now it's like
a lot of artists do the inverse of that. They
release a series of singles that eventually coalesce into an
album or you know, or maybe they put out I
(26:25):
forget who it was. Recently we had on the show.
There was somebody who, oh is Jesse Rutstein. He's got
an EP, but that EP is going to become part
of a larger album.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
You know.
Speaker 10 (26:37):
It's so there's so many different ways to do it now.
And but I think the key, as you know you
alluded to David, is because youve got to feed that algorithm, right,
you gotta. So you gotta somehow even if you're even
if you're only doing albums, because some some artists are
stubborn and they will only do albums. But then it's
like when you do an album and you release that album,
so you've got that one shot to make a big splash,
(26:58):
which is very difficult, uh in the digital age that
we live in. So you know, so you got to
you got to figure out ways to stay engaged with
your audience so they don't forget about you.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
You know, Social media, engagement content. You know, we're being
in a band today. It's like you know, we're we're
creating art, but we're also becoming influencers in a way.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Yeah right, Oh yeah, yeah, I mean that's kind of
how I think of it. Everyone's an influencer now and
some people don't like that term, but but but I
mean it. Yeah, yeah, everyone's an influencer. Everyone's a brand.
You got to kind of embrace that, you know, it's
it's it's uh, if you want to have a long
Like I said, you know a lot of bands don't
have the kind of longevity you guys have. But if
(27:41):
you want to have that longevity, you know, you gotta
you gotta embrace everything that you gotta do to you know,
to to stay in front of your fans and continue
to grow that fan base. And so you guys are
you have the right attitude. You're clearly on a on
a good path. So that's great. I noticed too, you've
you've had some airplay on is it Octane on?
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Yeah, that's really cool too.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Yeah, yeah, there will a shout out to those guys.
We appreciate their support. And but you know, we we've
done uh, we've done a lot of campaigns, like you
were saying earlier, with radio is again I draw back
to COVID. I mean trying to be creative during a
time where we couldn't play out a lot, and you know,
we released some music, but it was trying to stay
(28:23):
fresh out there? How can we stay fresh? And that
was really Radio is a strong medium, you know, as
a way to get our music out there, along with
social media. So it really worked out well for us
in that regards.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Yeah, yeah, one hundred. Why don't we play another track?
What do you have now? This time? I will not
be selfish. You guys can pick what what should we
play next?
Speaker 6 (28:41):
And Zo Joe you want to pick one?
Speaker 10 (28:43):
Oh yeah, let's do.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Let's do and so and Joe will pick one. Okay, Oh,
there's wounds and stars. I think we went to the
stars before wounds and chants.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
I don't have stars in front of me for some reason.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Okay, although I thought I thought.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
You did send that though, but for some Oh no,
I do see it. I'm sorry, I'm just wounds in chance.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
I think those are still but but.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
I do I do have stars also, Yeah, I don't
know why I don't.
Speaker 12 (29:07):
We'll go we'll go wounds.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
You want to go with wounds? Okay, the right word.
Speaker 12 (29:10):
We'll keep it going, all right, cool?
Speaker 10 (29:13):
Anything we should know about this before we play it?
There is a story or uh.
Speaker 14 (29:19):
Oh yeah, no, I mean I I feel like a
lot of a lot of stuff around this time was
just generally about anxiety and and how to get over it.
Also keeping that positive vibe you know, with you know,
not just being like you know, poor me or whatever,
but like hey, like you know, you get over this whatever.
(29:40):
So yeah, no, it was kind of along the same lines.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
Okay, all right, I like it. All right, let's give
this a spin. This is Wounds and the band is
Silent Season.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
It's a short busted load in the talk roll the
shadow side.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
For the gradually feel commusic comes.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
I'm looking sill.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
When will you you shot?
Speaker 10 (33:07):
That is called Wounds. The band is a silent season,
and we have silent season here with us live in studio.
Another great track Jeremy. Is it hard to sing like
that when you gotta switch back and forth between the Uh?
I mean, does does that bother your throat?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
It's very hard.
Speaker 14 (33:24):
It's It's funny because I've I've been really trying to
hone in on both of those aspects lately, trying to
you know, coach myself and you know, vocals, but also
like not just vocal singing, but but then also like
learning the the screams and stuff like that, and trying
to get more knowledge about how to do it correctly,
(33:45):
because I feel like for a long time I was
just kind of just doing whatever I wanted to and
not like actually like looking into it and like how
you should. Yeah, but yeah, no, it's tricky sometimes, uh,
you know, like not as recently because I've been kind
of doing a little bit more research into it, but uh,
sometimes it was just so hard to like scream and
(34:05):
then go back to singing and scream and go back
to singing.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
But right, right, Yeah, it's a constant, uphill battle. But
I think that, uh, it's getting better.
Speaker 10 (34:13):
Yeah. I've always kind of marveled at singers who can
do that and seamlessly go back and forth like that. Yeah,
do you do anything special for your vocal cords, like
for you know, some people use lemons, you know.
Speaker 14 (34:24):
I have two different devices that I've been using as
of recently. Ones kind of looks like a whistle. I
can't specifically remember what these things are called, except for
ones called doctor Vox and it's like kind of like
a water bottle that's like half filled and then you
like sing into it and it kind of like worms
(34:45):
up your vocal cords.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
Interesting.
Speaker 14 (34:46):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like those things are are good
for when you're you know, about to do like a
recording session or something like that, but maybe not necessarily
for when you're about to you know, go live on
a set or whatever.
Speaker 12 (34:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:00):
Yeah, now that makes sense. Oh, I saw a chat
room message too. I want to make sure I read
this Renee Carlisle Abbott. Uh says hi, Daddy love Devin
and Riley and Julian.
Speaker 12 (35:13):
So there you go. My beautiful family and my wife,
oh very nice.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
Now having a supportive family is definitely. Uh do they
come see you live?
Speaker 17 (35:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (35:27):
My order ten has and my wife has not yet.
Not yet. Yeah, I don't know if they can handle it.
Speaker 10 (35:33):
Yeah, the volume of it, yeah, absolutely. So if you
are just joining us, we do have silent season here
with us live in studio. And what's the in terms
of what is the future hold in terms of new music, Like,
are you guys always working on new music or obviously
you've got you know, you're playing shows and you've got
Swarmy Fest coming up, which is a big deal. But
are you guys also actively working on new stuff.
Speaker 14 (35:55):
Or Yeah, the summer has been packed with shows, So
I mean between you know, work life and then playing shows,
we've done a lot of a lot of that.
Speaker 10 (36:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (36:05):
I think that now the things have kind of died
down for a minute, we're going to be focusing on
putting out new music and our writing new music. Yeah,
we have a lot of things that are kind of
in the vault right now. Yeah, so it should be
easy to work with though.
Speaker 10 (36:20):
Yeah, good good. And as far as the live shows go,
is there anybody in the area. Are there any bands
that you've kind of you know, what happens organically? Are
there any bands you've kind of teamed up with? I
mean obviously for Swarmy Fest, but are there bands that
you play a lot of shows with that or.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
We've been involved in the local scene for a while
and a lot of bands have come and gone, but
I as of recently, we've been playing shows with bands
like Red Crown, Chasing the Devil. You know, we know
those guys really well. We played a few shows. What
major moment they're doing their thing? Oh yeah, and uh,
(36:58):
I'm just there's just just so many of them. But
those have been like really that I mentioned those because
I know a lot of the bands so too. I
mentioned at the beginning of from New Hampshire. So yeah,
I mean, keep an eye out. We may end up
doing more with with those bands. But you know, we
we also have been really focused a lot on national
shows as of late too, as a strategy.
Speaker 10 (37:18):
Good to get back.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
We were doing that and we toured in the past
and we were writing and then we kind of started
playing some local shows again.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
But everything we do.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
We try to do with strategy in mind, you know,
as the business grows and we evolve as a band.
Speaker 10 (37:32):
Yeah. Who are some of the I'm curious about national
acts that you guys have played with.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Yeah, so over the years we've played with bands like
Blackfield Brides at the Palladiums, Falling and Reverse. We we
played with them when rag Key was getting out of
his thing and getting back on the road. We've also
played with seven Yeah, we toured with seven Dusts, ten
Years in Gemini Syndrome, a few bands that mentioned off
(38:00):
with in Ninja. I got to throw those guys out
too from Australia. Amazing, amazing band. But yeah, just just
a slew of nationals over the years and we want
to keep that keep that ball rolling.
Speaker 10 (38:12):
Oh yeah, no doubt, no doubt. You said you'd gone
out on tour. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:16):
Yeah, we did a few a couple of weeks with
seven to Us and Gemini Syndrome was on that, and
then we did another tour with ten Years and twelve
Foot Ninja okay, and other offers came in.
Speaker 17 (38:28):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
It just it's hard because it's all you know, it's
it's a business. It's a big investment, and you know,
but we're very thankful for those tours and seven to
us was just amazing.
Speaker 12 (38:39):
You know.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
They were very welcoming, they treated us as family. Yeah,
and we'll forever be grateful for that. And we always
keep in touch with those guys. So yeah, I just
wanted to share.
Speaker 10 (38:49):
Yeah, I met them when they played at Meadowbrook. Boy
how long ago was out? It was quite a while
ago too, Gauz. I might have been around two thousand
and eight. But yeah, yeah, yeah, really nice guy.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Yeah yeah, Yeah, they're great. They're great and they're still
doing it after all these years. They're road warriors and
they're phenomenal musicians and great amazing music.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Is there anybody you guys have wanted
to like, do you have like a dream band that
you'd love to open for or get to tour with.
Speaker 18 (39:19):
I definitely have one, Yeah, and We've tried a few
times to try to open for them. But I'm a
huge fan of the band. He is legend and yeah,
they they've come by the Taffta about a year ago.
Oh really, yeah, and they they're coming by in September
actually pretty pretty soon.
Speaker 10 (39:38):
We tried to get on that show.
Speaker 18 (39:39):
It seems like they were full for that, so but
I'm gonna be there anyways in the crowd because they're
one of my favorite bands.
Speaker 10 (39:46):
Oh yeah, would definitely be mine.
Speaker 6 (39:48):
Oh very quick story on that. I'm a I'm a
guy full of stories.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
I'll make this quick.
Speaker 10 (39:52):
Nole's so before ends.
Speaker 6 (39:54):
Well, actually, when Enzo joined, we had played a showm
right before COVID with He Is Legend and While She
Sleeps in Summerville, and uh, when Enzo was playing with
us shortly after he joined, he said, Hey, you know
you guys played with He Is Legend at Once Ballroom
and some of them We're like, yeah we did.
Speaker 10 (40:13):
He was I was there. I'm like oh wow.
Speaker 6 (40:15):
We were like wow, that's crazy, small world kind of vibe.
And we didn't know him at the time. And a
couple of years, few years fast forward, he then joined
the band, and I think it was meant to be
at that He Is Legend show. Now we just got
to come full circle. Like Enzoe said, we got to
play a show what he is Legend?
Speaker 7 (40:33):
So he is Legend.
Speaker 6 (40:33):

That is really good. Welcome guys.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Hey, Hi, So how's everyone doing?

because all five of you are here, let's start in
the corner and we're gonna have you each introduce yourselves
to us. Who you are, what you do in the band,
and anything else you want us to know, but mainly
who you are and what you do in the band.
We'll start over here.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I am Jeremy and I'm the vocalist.
Speaker 10 (04:33):
Welcome Jeremy, thank you.
Speaker 11 (04:34):
I am Brendan.
Speaker 10 (04:35):
I play guitar. Welcome Brendan, right, Brendan or Brandon Brendan, Brendan. Okay.
I'm Enzo and I do lead it to car Enzo. Welcome.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
I'm David and I play drums. Slash business magician.
Speaker 10 (04:49):
Oh, business magician, I like that all right.
Speaker 12 (04:51):
Welcome David, Thank you, and you sir, and I'm Joe
and I pray to bees.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
All right, welcome Joe. So yeah, and I'm glad that
you're all here. You know, sometimes not everyone you have
a five V span, there's usually at least one person
who doesn't make it right. So it's cool you're all here.
So we should let's start with this because it was
just announced. So you're now the co headliners on Swarmyfest,
right with Sepsis. Yeah, coming up in November. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Yes, very excited about that. We can't wait to play
that show on November fifteenth. And we've been friends with
Sepsist for a while and it's it's exciting to finally
be able to play with those guys up here and
gals in Manchester.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Yeah, at Jewel November fifteenth. And so how did that?
How did that come about? How did that was that?
You're the you're the business magician, right, yes, so did
are you the one who made that happen? Or how
did that come about?
Speaker 6 (05:39):
It was actually a great question, Matt. It was a
collaborative effort between Joe and I. Joe knows the promoter
and most of the folks in Sepsis, so we got together.
We had a good conversation with Will and their team
and also the promoter Allowed Entertainment, and they said, hey,
let's let's do something. We want you guys to play
(05:59):
the show. It's been a while and we're going to
rock it and it's just history from there. So we're
ready to go and we hope to see everyone at
that show. It's going to be great.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
Rhythm section makes it happen, right, it's right, right, Joe.
I'm a bass player, so I you know, so I
appreciate you. So you guys have been this band, Silent
Season has been around since what two thousand and eight?
Is that correct?
Speaker 13 (06:24):
Eight?
Speaker 10 (06:24):
Okay, okay, I was commenting off air. You know how
impressive that is to me because it's not you know,
you don't see a ton of longevity in the in
the music business. But I assume the lineup has changed
over the years, right, somewhat right for your time?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Who are so?
Speaker 10 (06:39):
Who are the original members? You guys have been here
since the beginning, yeah, and then and then everyone else,
so everyone else has changed. So what So I'm curious,
So what is it that because a lot of times
when there's lineup changes, especially over the course of So
I'm not good at math.
Speaker 12 (06:56):
What is that?
Speaker 10 (06:58):
How many years is almost a wow, it's a lot
of years.
Speaker 12 (07:01):
Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
Mean what is it that's driven you to keep this
thing going?
Speaker 13 (07:06):
Like?
Speaker 10 (07:07):
How do you how do you keep or maybe you've
taken breaks along the way with the band? I don't know,
but but what is it that keeps Silent Season going
after all this time?
Speaker 14 (07:14):
I think it's the music. I think it's the fans
who have supported us over the years.
Speaker 10 (07:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I think it's the drive.
Speaker 14 (07:23):
You know, if you have all of those ingredients, I
think it just leads to, you know, wanting to continue
no matter what happens.
Speaker 10 (07:29):
Yeah, it's so fun. Yeah yeah, yeah. So I'm curious
between the two of you, Jeremy and Brendan. Yes, I'm assume.
I assume. I mean, has there ever been when you've
got to change members? Because you know, I've been in
a lot of bands, and I know people come and
people go. I was in a band a long time
ago called My Life Crisis, and I was the only like,
(07:51):
there were so many changes over the years, but I
was the only original member. I was the only one
who was in every single lineup of that band, and
it was hard, you know, always keep it going. You
know people you know, Sepsist has gone through that too.
You know they've had a lot of jeez, Jenny, do
you remember that that night that you were online and
you saw like they'd lost Will and Melissa, like like
(08:13):
everybody left and they had to replace everybody, like when
one fell swoop end it did. It all worked out.
But but but that's one of the challenges.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Right with the band change.
Speaker 14 (08:24):
And now you look at modern like these days, everybody's
suing everybody else.
Speaker 10 (08:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, when you.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Look at like old school rockers, right guys we all
grew up with, and like now they're.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
All sewing each other.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Oh yeah, it's so great to see people stay together
and play and continue the music. Yeah, in a positive way, right, yeah.
But I'm curious between the two of you, at any point,
has there ever been a discussion about, I don't know,
do we want to keep doing this or or have
you guys always been on the same page or I
mean I think that.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
For the most part we've been on the same page.
Speaker 14 (08:56):
There's been you know, a question of like, you know,
if it is worth doing and I think we always
come back to the same answer that it is because
we just love what we do. And yeah, I mean
it's just important to us. It's kind of like our
baby at the end of the day, you know, right right.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
Plus you know you've had some success, you've gotten some
some radio play. I was, I was, you know, as
I was reading about you guys, and it's like, you know,
so you build up a name, it's like you don't
want to just let all that go right, just just
because you know somebody has to go or so now,
so how long? So endz? So how long have you
been in the band? About two years? Two years? Okay?
Are you the new are you the new guy? Are
you the newest member. I'm not the newest member. That's
(09:37):
actually Joe. Joe's the newist. Okay, all right? And then
so and David, how long have you been in the band?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
So? I actually I started the band with Jeremy back
in two thousand and eight. Oh okay, and then Brendan
came along shortly thereafter. And then as as Jeremy mentioned.
Speaker 10 (09:54):
Oh so you're an original member too, yeah, okay, so
the three of you okay, gotcha? Okay?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
And then you know, I remember lineup changes, you know,
like every band typically goes through. Yes, we discussed, but
then Enzo and Joe came into the fold, and you know,
it works out. It's clicking really well, and we're very
excited about the future of Silent Season.
Speaker 10 (10:14):
Yeah. So where does the name come from? The obvious question,
because it's a cool name.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
So I was listening to a breaking Benjamin song. I
believe it was called Sign of Season. Okay, but but
I said to myself, hey, why don't we say something
about Silent Season Because the time we started the band,
there were a lot of venues closing, and there were
a lot of negative things happening in the music industry
with you know, just coming off the whole Napster thing
and digital downloading, and there was just a mix of
(10:41):
like a lot of crazy things happening. So we said,
why don't we try to come out with a positive
message and you know, just say, hey, how can we
overcome this, and especially in the rock genre, like how
can we get everything back to a good spot and
try to help influence the scene.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, now that's cool.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
I like that.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
I like that it came from a good you know,
a good positive perspective, and yeah, I yeah, two thousand
and eight. I'm trying to think of, like what was
what was happening? So yeah, I guess I was kind
of just right after yeah, not too long, right after
Napster or and everything, and there was such a transition happening.
It's almost in my mind sometimes it's hard to pinpoint
(11:21):
because you know, the the music business has gone through
so many just you know, in the last you know,
twenty years, so many changes, right, It's it's uh but
you know, and not everyone can adapt to it, and
you know, being able to adapt is is uh is
so important. So when you so how long, like so
(11:42):
the three of you guys started it together and then
like did it come together pretty quickly when you all
started working together or or did it take a while
to get it off the ground or uh?
Speaker 14 (11:51):
Yeah, So I mean Dave and I had been in
a previous band together before. Oh so we had chemistry
as far as you know, knowing like you know, what
musicals we had and all that.
Speaker 10 (12:00):
Kind of stuff that always helps.
Speaker 14 (12:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then you know, after we had
Brendan come in and then another original member and Brendan's
brother actually oh wow, that was our original lineup and
uh yeah, no, after that. I mean we we were recording,
we were playing out. I think one of our first
shows was with tap Root, which was pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Nice at the time.
Speaker 14 (12:24):
So yeah, we we just were getting into it real fast.
I think we had a couple connections and stuff which
made it a little easier. But yeah, it wasn't It
wasn't too hard at the time, I don't think.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
And Matt quick backstory there quickly when we came together.
I have to say this on all the interviews, Jeremy
and I formulated this band idea at a Wendy's over
some fries at Frosty No kidding.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
Yeah, that's where all the great ideas start, that's right.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
And then so.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
The the songs that we're hearing today, Now, these are
are these from over a period of time because he
has a voviy you know, you've recorded a lot of music.
I assume over over all these years. These aren't all
from one album, correct or maybe I'm wrong about that.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
No, They're they're kind of spread out, spread out.
Speaker 10 (13:09):
Yeah, yeah, Now one was in Flames. Is that one
of the more recent ones or is that?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yes, in Flames is are one of our newest ones
that we've been pushing.
Speaker 10 (13:16):
Okay, yeah, great track, great track, thank you.
Speaker 12 (13:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (13:18):
Has the process changed over the years as far as
writing and recording, and I mean, obviously with different members,
I assume a change is somewhat, But what about the
overall approach.
Speaker 14 (13:27):
I think, like you were talking or you were talking
about with the music industry, some things end up changing
as far as uh, like technology and what you were
able to do when we first started versus what we're
able to do now.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 14 (13:40):
Because when we first started, you know, we were all
just in a basement and we were just writing there
and like recording off of this awful computer that we had. Yeah,
and and or just like a tape or something like that. Yeah,
really aging us at this point. But but you know,
now we have all this technology and you can just
like record anything, you know, at the palm of your hands,
(14:02):
you know. Yeah, you have computers that can do professional
recordings and stuff like that. So oh yeah, we kind
of get ideas, you know, based off of that. We
also jam together. It's kind of a mixture of both
at this point. But yeah, yeah, but it's cool because
you know, you have all this stuff at your fingertips
and yeah, It's just makes it a lot easier.
Speaker 10 (14:20):
It's an amazing time to be alive. Yes, I always
say too with the pandemic, which I assume affected you guys,
because it affected everybody, right, you know, it affected the
music industry certainly. You know, it was a terrible experience collectively,
but we got to find these silver linings where we can.
And one of the silver linings of it is I
think it really and this comes up all the time
on the show, I think it really forced people to
(14:42):
kind of think of a thing outside the box creatively
of you know, well, how can we continue to make music?
And and you know, the technology was already there as
far as you know, we already had, you know, so
for example, if you're recording and you're sending tracks back
and forth, we already had things like Google Drive and
Dropbox and everything. But I think the pandemic kind of
forced people, some people who may have been a little
bit technophobic and a little bit resistant to using that
(15:04):
stuff to really embrace that and and you know, learn
you know, what's going on in terms of technology, and
how can I use that, because you know, if I don't,
if I don't learn this stuff, now I'm kind of screwed.
I know, I can tell you for myself, just as
an aside. I also work as a hypnotherapist, and I'd
(15:25):
always been really resistant to doing sessions online until, you know,
till that was the only way to do them for
a while, you know, so, But but yeah, that's that's
one of those few silver linings about the pandemic. I
think it kind of forced everyone forward in terms of
technology and uh, you know, and a lot of people,
a lot of people we've had on the show over
the years too, have talked about how you know, They'll say,
(15:47):
I didn't think I could you know, I could play,
I could write, but I didn't think I could record.
I didn't think I could engineer something. But I was
forced to learn how to do it. And now I'm
really glad I learned how to do it, you know,
So knowledge is power. Why don't we play another track?
I really I love all these songs, They're so good.
Usually I leave it to the guests. I would like
(16:07):
to be with your permission. I'd like to be a
little bit selfish and play hopeless.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Okay, also do it because this song.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
I love this song, and I like all of them,
but this one really connected with me. I'm curious if
there's a story behind this one or or anything anything
we should know about it before we hear it.
Speaker 14 (16:25):
Yeah, I mean it was it was kind of written
at a time where I was feeling really I mean hopeless.
Speaker 12 (16:32):
I was.
Speaker 14 (16:33):
I was not I was not in a good place.
I didn't really know like where my life was going
and know where, you know, what what was in the future.
And and it's kind we kind of try to put
a positive spin on all of our music and you know,
make it so like you know, telling people they can
get out of that, they can they can conquer, you know,
whatever they're feeling or you know, all the negative stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Yeah, and you know, music is therapy for me in
that sense.
Speaker 14 (17:01):
And that's that's how I got out of my hopeless
kind of feeling, is by you know, writing that with
the guys and yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
And yeah, no, that's that's basically what it's about.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
Well that's the thing too, about you know, using music
and creating art for therapy, because not only do I
think it's the best therapy, right when you take anything
that's bothering you or a trauma or anything and you
create something out of it that is art. That's I
think the best way to deal with it. But also
with music as an example, it also ends up helping
other people too, because then they can relate to it
and you know, Okay, I feel this and that's you know,
(17:34):
and then they connect to the song too, So you're
you help yourself, but you also help other people too.
And you know, you've probably had people tell you over
the years that that's.
Speaker 14 (17:43):
One of the most rewarding things that you can have
a fan tell you is that this this song helped
me through this time.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Yep, because I know that.
Speaker 14 (17:49):
You know, I went through a bunch of times when
I was a kid and I listened to songs and
they helped me through those.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
Yeah. Absolutely, Well, let's give this a spin. When was
this recorded? Is this one of the newer ones?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Or this is also one the newer one?
Speaker 10 (18:00):
Oh cool cool? I thought, so, okay, excellent. Uh, if
you are just joining us, we have Silent Season here
with us in studio and let's listen to this. This
track is called Hopeless.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Feels of Pressure calling JOm I'm feel safe behind every
single day all the same.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
J Cham.

Chat see let in s sange.
Speaker 15 (20:58):
I'll say, sure sound.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
Mm hmmm. I love that. That is hopeless. The band
is Silent Season, and we've got Silent Season here with
us alive in studio. Yeah, that's that's such a great track.
I love that chorus. It's very very strong. Whoops, there
we go and have all those mics on. It's very uh. Yeah,
it's a great chorus. It's very catchy, lyrics are very inspiring.
It's funny too because it kind of fools you, right
because the song is called hopeless, but it's actually very hopeful.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
So it's a little little twist there. That's that's nice.
But no, I like that a lot. Yeah that that
came out what last year? Was that what I was reading?
Speaker 12 (22:07):
Correct?
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Yeah, so it's been out for a little bit, but yeah, great,
great track. I also want to mention too, Uh Sheila
from paper Jam was she had messaged I think she
had messaged. Did she message that about how you guys
are one of her favorite bands? And she was so
thrilled to be able to interview you on her birthday
(22:28):
for paper Jam.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (22:29):
So yeah, so congratulations right now.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Folks up there at paper Jam, we appreciate all their support.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, always send me the best artists.
Oh yeah, yeah. We get a lot of guests from them,
and uh, you know, every month we always look forward
to getting paper Jam in the mail too. It's so
cool that, you know, because too, that's quite an undertaking
in the digital age, you know, to to say, Okay,
we're gonna put out this magazine, you know what I mean.
(22:57):
And I remember when we had them on the show.
Speaker 12 (22:59):
I I.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I asked Sheila and Tony, I said, did anyone when
you started payper Jam, did anyone try to talk you
out of it? Did anyone say you know, do you
really want to you know, in a time when you know,
traditional publications have struggled and have been struggling for well
probably twenty years with the rise of digital media, do
you really want to do this? And they said no,
No one really tried to, Like everyone was like super
(23:21):
supportive and it worked out.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
So you know, that's great.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
They're having a lot of success with it.
Speaker 12 (23:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Yeah, Joe introduced introduced us to paper Jam. He was
very connected to them before.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
So oh cool.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Every thankful for that connection as well.
Speaker 10 (23:34):
Yeah. Yeah. Being able to hold something in your hands
and look at it. Oh yeah, love that.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh yeah, computer screen just doesn't do.
Speaker 10 (23:41):
It right, right. Yeah, No, it's very very cool, very cool.
Have you guys been obviously, you know, we talked about
Swarmyfest coming up in November. Are you guys playing a
lot of shows generally? Are you doing a lot of
what's the live situation?
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Like?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Yeah, as of late, we've been playing a lot of
great shows over the New England base and area. We
just opened up for the Word Alive at Brighton Music
Hall a couple of weeks ago. It's just amazing. We
also jammed with Keith Wallen of Breaking Benjamin at the
Pladium in Worcester, Okay. That was an amazing show and Lakeview, Lakeview,
(24:15):
shout out to those guys. They added us to a
couple of their shows and we have more planned coming up.
We'll be announcing some of the other shows, you know
where we're We're not going to fall off. We're going
to keep going hard. Yeah, and we appreciate everyone coming
to these shows and giving us the support. And you know,
we like to call the fans our friends. We look
at them as our friends, you know, and they're helping us.
(24:35):
They're getting the word out their paper, Jam and everyone across.
So let's keep it going and let's keep the train moving.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
When you when you play live, do you play songs
that span, you know, the entire history of the band
or how does that work? Because like we've talked about,
you guys have been around a while. You got a
lot of music, right.
Speaker 11 (24:55):
We try to get the ones that like the singles
like Chance was the same from Breaking then Breaking Breaking
Me Down, Breaking Benjamin, Yeah, and then with the couple
from the War Within and the definitely the newest ones
we definitely try to fit in there as well.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
Yeah, Yeah, how many albums do you have as a band,
or or albums.
Speaker 14 (25:18):
And EPs or we have one full album, we have
one e P and then we have a bunch of singles.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
And you were saying earlier, Matt, about the time of COVID,
we really sort of changed our stance, you know, with
a lot of bands, Like we saw bands like spirit
Box and releasing singles. You know, it became a little
bit more like get the content out quicker and you know,
keep the base engage. So we decided to do more singles.
And but we're you know, we're you know, that's not
(25:47):
going to stop us. I should say, we're we're thinking
about you know, EPs and you know, get a collection
of our art out there, you know, so we're I
guess it just really depends on the mood and what's
going on out there, because we don't we also, you know,
we want to be able to deliver what the fan,
the friends and want from Silent Season.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
That's another thing that's changed too, is so many different
ways to release music now. You know, when I was
growing up, it was, you know, you've got an album
and then you've got a series of singles. If you're lucky,
you have a series of singles, or maybe you only
have one. You know, it depends. But now it's like
a lot of artists do the inverse of that. They
release a series of singles that eventually coalesce into an
album or you know, or maybe they put out I
(26:25):
forget who it was. Recently we had on the show.
There was somebody who, oh is Jesse Rutstein. He's got
an EP, but that EP is going to become part
of a larger album.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
You know.
Speaker 10 (26:37):
It's so there's so many different ways to do it now.
And but I think the key, as you know you
alluded to David, is because youve got to feed that algorithm, right,
you gotta. So you gotta somehow even if you're even
if you're only doing albums, because some some artists are
stubborn and they will only do albums. But then it's
like when you do an album and you release that album,
so you've got that one shot to make a big splash,
(26:58):
which is very difficult, uh in the digital age that
we live in. So you know, so you got to
you got to figure out ways to stay engaged with
your audience so they don't forget about you.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
You know, Social media, engagement content. You know, we're being
in a band today. It's like you know, we're we're
creating art, but we're also becoming influencers in a way.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Yeah right, Oh yeah, yeah, I mean that's kind of
how I think of it. Everyone's an influencer now and
some people don't like that term, but but but I
mean it. Yeah, yeah, everyone's an influencer. Everyone's a brand.
You got to kind of embrace that, you know, it's
it's it's uh, if you want to have a long
Like I said, you know a lot of bands don't
have the kind of longevity you guys have. But if
(27:41):
you want to have that longevity, you know, you gotta
you gotta embrace everything that you gotta do to you know,
to to stay in front of your fans and continue
to grow that fan base. And so you guys are
you have the right attitude. You're clearly on a on
a good path. So that's great. I noticed too, you've
you've had some airplay on is it Octane on?
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Yeah, that's really cool too.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Yeah, yeah, there will a shout out to those guys.
We appreciate their support. And but you know, we we've
done uh, we've done a lot of campaigns, like you
were saying earlier, with radio is again I draw back
to COVID. I mean trying to be creative during a
time where we couldn't play out a lot, and you know,
we released some music, but it was trying to stay
(28:23):
fresh out there? How can we stay fresh? And that
was really Radio is a strong medium, you know, as
a way to get our music out there, along with
social media. So it really worked out well for us
in that regards.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Yeah, yeah, one hundred. Why don't we play another track?
What do you have now? This time? I will not
be selfish. You guys can pick what what should we
play next?
Speaker 6 (28:41):
And Zo Joe you want to pick one?
Speaker 10 (28:43):
Oh yeah, let's do.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Let's do and so and Joe will pick one. Okay, Oh,
there's wounds and stars. I think we went to the
stars before wounds and chants.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
I don't have stars in front of me for some reason.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Okay, although I thought I thought.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
You did send that though, but for some Oh no,
I do see it. I'm sorry, I'm just wounds in chance.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
I think those are still but but.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
I do I do have stars also, Yeah, I don't
know why I don't.
Speaker 12 (29:07):
We'll go we'll go wounds.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
You want to go with wounds? Okay, the right word.
Speaker 12 (29:10):
We'll keep it going, all right, cool?
Speaker 10 (29:13):
Anything we should know about this before we play it?
There is a story or uh.
Speaker 14 (29:19):
Oh yeah, no, I mean I I feel like a
lot of a lot of stuff around this time was
just generally about anxiety and and how to get over it.
Also keeping that positive vibe you know, with you know,
not just being like you know, poor me or whatever,
but like hey, like you know, you get over this whatever.
(29:40):
So yeah, no, it was kind of along the same lines.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
Okay, all right, I like it. All right, let's give
this a spin. This is Wounds and the band is
Silent Season.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
It's a short busted load in the talk roll the
shadow side.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
For the gradually feel commusic comes.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
I'm looking sill.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
When will you you shot?
Speaker 10 (33:07):
That is called Wounds. The band is a silent season,
and we have silent season here with us live in studio.
Another great track Jeremy. Is it hard to sing like
that when you gotta switch back and forth between the Uh?
I mean, does does that bother your throat?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
It's very hard.
Speaker 14 (33:24):
It's It's funny because I've I've been really trying to
hone in on both of those aspects lately, trying to
you know, coach myself and you know, vocals, but also
like not just vocal singing, but but then also like
learning the the screams and stuff like that, and trying
to get more knowledge about how to do it correctly,
(33:45):
because I feel like for a long time I was
just kind of just doing whatever I wanted to and
not like actually like looking into it and like how
you should. Yeah, but yeah, no, it's tricky sometimes, uh,
you know, like not as recently because I've been kind
of doing a little bit more research into it, but uh,
sometimes it was just so hard to like scream and
(34:05):
then go back to singing and scream and go back
to singing.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
But right, right, Yeah, it's a constant, uphill battle. But
I think that, uh, it's getting better.
Speaker 10 (34:13):
Yeah. I've always kind of marveled at singers who can
do that and seamlessly go back and forth like that. Yeah,
do you do anything special for your vocal cords, like
for you know, some people use lemons, you know.
Speaker 14 (34:24):
I have two different devices that I've been using as
of recently. Ones kind of looks like a whistle. I
can't specifically remember what these things are called, except for
ones called doctor Vox and it's like kind of like
a water bottle that's like half filled and then you
like sing into it and it kind of like worms
(34:45):
up your vocal cords.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
Interesting.
Speaker 14 (34:46):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like those things are are good
for when you're you know, about to do like a
recording session or something like that, but maybe not necessarily
for when you're about to you know, go live on
a set or whatever.
Speaker 12 (34:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:00):
Yeah, now that makes sense. Oh, I saw a chat
room message too. I want to make sure I read
this Renee Carlisle Abbott. Uh says hi, Daddy love Devin
and Riley and Julian.
Speaker 12 (35:13):
So there you go. My beautiful family and my wife,
oh very nice.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
Now having a supportive family is definitely. Uh do they
come see you live?
Speaker 17 (35:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (35:27):
My order ten has and my wife has not yet.
Not yet. Yeah, I don't know if they can handle it.
Speaker 10 (35:33):
Yeah, the volume of it, yeah, absolutely. So if you
are just joining us, we do have silent season here
with us live in studio. And what's the in terms
of what is the future hold in terms of new music, Like,
are you guys always working on new music or obviously
you've got you know, you're playing shows and you've got
Swarmy Fest coming up, which is a big deal. But
are you guys also actively working on new stuff.
Speaker 14 (35:55):
Or Yeah, the summer has been packed with shows, So
I mean between you know, work life and then playing shows,
we've done a lot of a lot of that.
Speaker 10 (36:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (36:05):
I think that now the things have kind of died
down for a minute, we're going to be focusing on
putting out new music and our writing new music. Yeah,
we have a lot of things that are kind of
in the vault right now. Yeah, so it should be
easy to work with though.
Speaker 10 (36:20):
Yeah, good good. And as far as the live shows go,
is there anybody in the area. Are there any bands
that you've kind of you know, what happens organically? Are
there any bands you've kind of teamed up with? I
mean obviously for Swarmy Fest, but are there bands that
you play a lot of shows with that or.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
We've been involved in the local scene for a while
and a lot of bands have come and gone, but
I as of recently, we've been playing shows with bands
like Red Crown, Chasing the Devil. You know, we know
those guys really well. We played a few shows. What
major moment they're doing their thing? Oh yeah, and uh,
(36:58):
I'm just there's just just so many of them. But
those have been like really that I mentioned those because
I know a lot of the bands so too. I
mentioned at the beginning of from New Hampshire. So yeah,
I mean, keep an eye out. We may end up
doing more with with those bands. But you know, we
we also have been really focused a lot on national
shows as of late too, as a strategy.
Speaker 10 (37:18):
Good to get back.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
We were doing that and we toured in the past
and we were writing and then we kind of started
playing some local shows again.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
But everything we do.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
We try to do with strategy in mind, you know,
as the business grows and we evolve as a band.
Speaker 10 (37:32):
Yeah. Who are some of the I'm curious about national
acts that you guys have played with.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Yeah, so over the years we've played with bands like
Blackfield Brides at the Palladiums, Falling and Reverse. We we
played with them when rag Key was getting out of
his thing and getting back on the road. We've also
played with seven Yeah, we toured with seven Dusts, ten
Years in Gemini Syndrome, a few bands that mentioned off
(38:00):
with in Ninja. I got to throw those guys out
too from Australia. Amazing, amazing band. But yeah, just just
a slew of nationals over the years and we want
to keep that keep that ball rolling.
Speaker 10 (38:12):
Oh yeah, no doubt, no doubt. You said you'd gone
out on tour. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:16):
Yeah, we did a few a couple of weeks with
seven to Us and Gemini Syndrome was on that, and
then we did another tour with ten Years and twelve
Foot Ninja okay, and other offers came in.
Speaker 17 (38:28):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
It just it's hard because it's all you know, it's
it's a business. It's a big investment, and you know,
but we're very thankful for those tours and seven to
us was just amazing.
Speaker 12 (38:39):
You know.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
They were very welcoming, they treated us as family. Yeah,
and we'll forever be grateful for that. And we always
keep in touch with those guys. So yeah, I just
wanted to share.
Speaker 10 (38:49):
Yeah, I met them when they played at Meadowbrook. Boy
how long ago was out? It was quite a while
ago too, Gauz. I might have been around two thousand
and eight. But yeah, yeah, yeah, really nice guy.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Yeah yeah, Yeah, they're great. They're great and they're still
doing it after all these years. They're road warriors and
they're phenomenal musicians and great amazing music.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Is there anybody you guys have wanted
to like, do you have like a dream band that
you'd love to open for or get to tour with.
Speaker 18 (39:19):
I definitely have one, Yeah, and We've tried a few
times to try to open for them. But I'm a
huge fan of the band. He is legend and yeah,
they they've come by the Taffta about a year ago.
Oh really, yeah, and they they're coming by in September
actually pretty pretty soon.
Speaker 10 (39:38):
We tried to get on that show.
Speaker 18 (39:39):
It seems like they were full for that, so but
I'm gonna be there anyways in the crowd because they're
one of my favorite bands.
Speaker 10 (39:46):
Oh yeah, would definitely be mine.
Speaker 6 (39:48):
Oh very quick story on that. I'm a I'm a
guy full of stories.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
I'll make this quick.
Speaker 10 (39:52):
Nole's so before ends.
Speaker 6 (39:54):
Well, actually, when Enzo joined, we had played a showm
right before COVID with He Is Legend and While She
Sleeps in Summerville, and uh, when Enzo was playing with
us shortly after he joined, he said, Hey, you know
you guys played with He Is Legend at Once Ballroom
and some of them We're like, yeah we did.
Speaker 10 (40:13):
He was I was there. I'm like oh wow.
Speaker 6 (40:15):
We were like wow, that's crazy, small world kind of vibe.
And we didn't know him at the time. And a
couple of years, few years fast forward, he then joined
the band, and I think it was meant to be
at that He Is Legend show. Now we just got
to come full circle. Like Enzoe said, we got to
play a show what he is Legend?
Speaker 7 (40:33):
So he is Legend.
Speaker 6 (40:33):
