1:31this is uh... the sort of the rockers is uh... bullets yeah check it out as bullets
5:46donuts different than what i downloaded someone like the one i thought the internet's lower to like the keyboard of the it's called all the other two different versions of it you guys like remix it or something that's actually all that predates out that's like before i met the guy's yeah well they did uh... before the minute it like uh... i mean a promote this old cd because the songs are what they are but there's a different version of boston on the cd called midwest skies in c plus monday's which they did it in the midwest at about a studio for it and then cool in the end of the song watching the song is a few times where no one knows my name that's kind of cool cuz you know boston the whole record kind of finding a house stuff like that but in cheers everyone knows your names of our

8:05it was me giving them the last that's disgusting thing that's really awkward appreciate that one um it's playing on their songs sunday best my favorite on the record and some people just turn it around sleep in my sin and when the oceans get warmer california's on and los angeles is tired
8:52the other sin feel that's august not i was sunday best
11:26my favorite track of their new record stars and boulevard it's got that rod steward intro kind of like a randy jaffy wallflowers organ riff on there was that all in there when the song was first written or how to let stuff come in while yeah kind of amidst recording actually like the day like we had the song just uh... we had a couple versions of dandruff doing it acoustically we kind of got in the room one day or like we're going to record sunday best and then all of a sudden like drums came in and you know we had like the cross-dick and stuff going on for the verses and uh... then we uh... we recorded a really small tight room for the drums got that role like kind of beatles the yeah tight drum sound and from there we started picking up like uh... i think you start on the
12:11yeah you we'd like i think we'd be like you know cleaning up the tracks whatever and bring a lot of manal and like i sounds amazing and all of a sudden we have the manal in down and then he puts a b3 over it and they just kind of grew like all in one day as we're going through the song so you guys put a little into the manal yeah we'll be playing tonight okay cool nice play another song what you guys want here uh... you shattered hmm you guys you want uh... let's play star yeah first first introduction first single
12:59you guys in the summer and uh... good tune your words after boston and you
13:47and and and tell you all the bad words and i'm sure it's just hard
17:18plans for next single after boston yeah what would you choose to be an ex-single the other choice i'd do bullets yeah is that why it's those three songs on that little record i have and you know it hasn't been a side yet but um... you know they did the first they knew the first two singles were going to do what they were and then you know they need a different you know kind of look at the band of the kind of songs that you guys have a thing that kind of stuff or is it all like the label saying these are two songs we want there's a push and pull kind of thing with the label but um... how do you guys feel about
18:03are you happy with the singles like with those in your choice originally yeah i think it's i think it's you know worked out for the you guys can't be able to see that is what radio goes out to whatever i mean it matters you know like how you're especially the means that this being our first records a first introduction and how people to see you so running any new stuff plans for an actual actually i think uh... last night we played two new ones and why by two new ones tonight as well two different ones of the two same place to play last night how long does it take for you guys to let's say if the songs are written to you know get a rehearsal ready to go like that night could you do it yeah practice yeah
18:52yeah the one where we're playing tonight we played last night i think the lyrics are done and we don't even know how to end it yet i were just needing a song to play because we already play our records and any coverage of the last several and actually would you cover if you have a choice well not a question i would be cool to a top-paddy song or maybe a will go song then again like oasis would be kind of cool to you champagne supernova i don't know so that's a good play a song what you want uh... this is um... this is uh... electro-conroony from the damn walls actually a band that we're just getting off to her with you definitely check out

28:56augustana so called lonely people now i spoke to the guys a couple months ago in the interview quality was pretty crappy because there was band sam checking directly behind us but i managed to salvage one clip from it talk about some called waistline and work with brandon brine so uh... here's a yes from augustana think we're still in a way that way that would be the seventh song on the track actually that was a really collaborative process which is cool it was a really like it was uh... it was really it had a different course for a long time and we we were in atlanta and we're trying to record it and brandon o'brien just wasn't digging the chorus like all right let's keep working on keep working on we're not hotel room in me and jared were messing around with the chorus and
29:43and uh... jared came up with a cool idea to make it work and uh... and it worked so we we played in the next day in the in pre-production and uh... let it get laid down so we're really proud of that one i think that everybody it's in the everybody really had their hand really deep in that one and so it's really cool very nice you mentioned brandon brine now he produced your first record of the first record brando brine the guys were springsteen pearl jam on the list goes on a lot of rage i mean unbelievable what he teach you guys in the studio how did he you know help the process go along for you guys first time can't go with uh... with uh... can go with the record like not trying to or something just make it really just natural i don't know he was really like an advocate of just being comfortable like with your instrument not like it was i said not overthinking it and just like
30:31letting what naturally you want to play come out as best you can play it and honing in on that yeah we still listen to the stories scott wyloney and scott wylin stories are not back to the world i remember that one because i was like that's why they're so good it's like
