2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: making the best version of yourself. And I think for

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: us to take the next step was just getting it.

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's all it takes. Sometimes it's just.

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,280

Speaker 2: Man.

20
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 4: So it's Sean Taye and Mitchell Bulkan. Yes, and they

21
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 4: represent the band called the Hype.

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: That's us where the Hype.

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 4: Tell us about the Hype? How did the Hype get started?

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: First of all, I started with an Instagram message.

25
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: I think I saw Sean playing his heart out on Instagram,

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I saw potentially in Shawn's drumming, and

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: he saw potential in my hairstyle, and I think we

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: just went from there the hairstyle and then literally because

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Sean's from Perth and On from Sydney, which you know,

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 1: for American listeners, that's like a person living in California

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: and a person living in New York. Yeah, within three days,

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: it was on living in my studio on my couch,

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: and then we just created the magic from there. Yeah,

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: And it's been maybe like four or five years since then,

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: and obviously we've gone through a lot.

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: We've gone through COVID.

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: And just gone through finding our sounds, I would say.

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: And the name change as well.

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just had a recent name change to the hype.

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: It was originally three and then with this new direction

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: we're going in with, you know, trying to be a

42
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: little bit more you know, pop friendly, a little bit

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: more bringing real drums and real guitar to the kind

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: of the pop world. I think that's why we kind

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: of required the name change.

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: And what was the original name, I'm sorry, three, I reckon.

47
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 5: We're the first kind of like support band because we

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 5: supported Red Jumpsuit Apparatusts across America last year and that

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 5: was a big one for us. But we changed the

50
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 5: name literally halfway through that tour, I'm pretty sure to

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 5: the hope, because we had a couple of songs ready

52
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 5: to come out.

53
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 4: Why did you change the name? What was involved? The reason?

54
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: I just think it was kind of during that tour

55
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: we kind of realized that being in a band called

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: three when there's only two members, kinds of it gets

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: a bit tricky to explain to people.

58
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 5: We had multiple people come up, well, who's the third member.

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: It was just like, oh, yeah, the audience. Yeah, the audience,

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: but just never never really stuck.

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: And you know, like a music's about evolving and kind

62
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: of making the best version of yourself, and I think

63
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: for us to take the next step, it was just

64
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: getting it. Sometimes that's all it takes. Sometimes it's just

65
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: getting a better name.

66
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: So You've had a lot of folks through your career

67
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: that I think have been influential and sort of mentored you.

68
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: Can you talk about some of those folks.

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: Who definitely have their own sizeable careers and audiences?

70
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Oh, Sean, this is this is a Sean. Sean's probably

71
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: gone down this line more than more than I have.

72
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well since I was like young, I

73
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 5: think I started playing drums ten years old, and I

74
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 5: really looked up to energetic type drummers, so Travis Barker's

75
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 5: and you know, the Stuart Copelands and all that, and

76
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 5: it was I was blessed when I was in my

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 5: early twenties I got to work with Travis and write

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 5: some songs in Calabasas and that was crazy for me.

79
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: That was like a moment where I was like, oh wow,

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 5: I just want to keep on writing songs. So yeah,

81
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 5: so that was pretty cool. So Blink corn Eddie two

82
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 5: is definitely a massive inspiration twenty one Pilots, who are

83
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 5: massive as well. They've kind of taken off in the

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 5: past four years and got to work with It's such

85
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 5: a nice s guy, Josh dun as well the drama

86
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 5: for twenty one Pilots, which definitely gave me a bit

87
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 5: of inspo for this whole duo situation that Mitch and

88
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 5: I are in now. So yeah, just people that the

89
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: people that inspired me are like really energetic drummers that

90
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 5: you just look and go wow, like you can feel

91
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: their energy when they perform. Yeah, so that's that's me

92
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 5: those two.

93
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 1: And Mitchell how about You I se Which was another

94
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: milestone for us is when we got a we did

95
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: a fall Out Boy and a Panic at the Disco

96
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: mash up, and we're doing mash ups on Instagram during

97
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: COVID just to generate, you know, some sort of activity

98
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: because we couldn't really tour or do anything.

99
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: And we mashed up Yeah, obviously a fall Out.

100
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: Boy in a Panic at the Disco song, and then

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: Pete Wentz and Spencer Smith, So Pete Wentz from for

102
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,440

103
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: at the Disco.

104
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: They've got their own label.

105
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: And they reached out to us essentially saying they loved

106
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: the mash up and they loved our songs and literally

107
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: just reached out and just wanted to pick our brains

108
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: and see what we were doing and how we're doing it.

109
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: It was awesome to get feedback from people that you've admired,

110
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, essentially my whole music career.

111
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was an amazing moment.

112
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes just getting feedback from people, whether it's good, bad, ugly,

113
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: just knowing that what you're doing is spiking there is

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: is kind of you know enough to you sometimes, which

115
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: is which is really crazy when you think about it.

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 4: Tell me about what it's meant with Kellen Quinn as well.

117
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that well, Sean and I were writing a

118
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: song which was all these all these milestone moments are

119
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: all just off a whim, just off off a chance,

120
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: which is which is you know, if that's any advice

121
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: to other bands out there to send a message because

122
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: sometimes they will actually reply. Sean and I were sitting

123
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: in his house and we're writing a song and it

124
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: was kind of like a metal type track, and then

125
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: we just had the idea of it kind of sounds

126
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: like a song that Kelln Quinn would sound like would

127
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: be on and then Sean's like.

128
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 5: Would sound like yeah. So I had the connection with

129
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 5: Kellen from a previous tour, so like I did an

130
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 5: Australian tour. It was Sleeping with Sirens, my old group,

131
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 5: and this other band lower than Atlantis, so I think

132
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 5: they're called. But I met Kellen Quinn on that tour.

133
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 5: We just connected. It was actually the craziest moment I remember,

134
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: like seeing him for the first time, to like meet

135
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: in person on that tour and there was like a

136
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 5: magic moment where like after we came off stage, he's

137
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 5: like waiting to go on and he's shaking everybody's hand

138
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 5: and he goes up to me and it was the

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 5: weirdest moment because he like he literally just holds my

140
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 5: hand like it was kind of like a handshake that

141
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 5: like felt like two hours.

142
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: But it was like it was just the weird It

143
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: was theirst thing.

144
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: I was like, why is this handshake like going for

145
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 5: so long? Like you know, you can let go of

146
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 5: my hand now, but he's like staring like into my

147
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 5: eyes type of thing, into my soul and not what

148
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 5: the hell's going on here? And then it was like

149
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 5: two or three years later that we caught up Mitch

150
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 5: and we started this band, and that was when, yeah,

151
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 5: there was the connection there. I was like, you know what,

152
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 5: I'm just going to pass it on to Kell and

153
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 5: he follows me now and he keeps in touch, so

154
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 5: let's see if he connects with this song and the lyrics.

155
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 5: And we just waited, you know, we're twiddling our thumbs

156
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 5: just like waiting for him to come back. And he

157
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 5: got back to us like within a week and was like, yeah,

158
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 5: I just want to I want to jump on this

159
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 5: this sounds great. So that was a big moment for

160
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 5: Mitch and I because it was the first time where

161
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 5: we're like, wow, like this is someone we look up

162
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: to and they want to work with us type of thing.

163
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 4: Did he call you guys? Me?

164
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: I think I think everyone tries to throw that in there.

165
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: I think everyone tries to throw that in there. But yeah,

166
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: Kelln's just generally a nice guy. Like I don't think

167
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: you're going to get nicer than that. In the industry.

168
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 5: Beautiful song, No, it's very down to earth there was

169
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 5: and such a massive track you know, to like to

170
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 5: be a part of as well. That was really I

171
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 5: think it's close to what it's five hundred thousand streams

172
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 5: now or something like.

173
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: Dependent on independent organic just out there.

174
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: It does say probably on your your citizenship card that

175
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: you have to use mate a certain amount of times

176
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 3: each day in conversation. Doesn't it isn't that self designated.

177
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: Well, it does be contract.

178
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: It does open a few doors when you kind of

179
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: give them the old mate.

180
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, not bad mate yet. Yeah, it may just walk

181
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: through get a mate.

182
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of just like you've got nothing else to say, see,

183
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: like how's it going, mate?

184
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: And you just keep going, keep going.

185
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: So you guys love festivals. You have played at a

186
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: number of festivals. What are some of your favorite festivals

187
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: you've played at, and maybe describe.

188
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: The experience, what it's what it's like to the listeners.

189
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, a big one for me slam Dunker plays and

190
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 5: also reading in leeds was it was a good one.

191
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 5: It wasn't the main stage, but it was like in

192
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 5: the you know, the side tent, but it was still

193
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 5: pretty cool. And I think that's the highlight for me actually,

194
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 5: between slam Dunk and reading and leads.

195
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and what tell me the experience what it was like?

196
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 5: Oh, just uplifting, man, Like, it's amazing when you you

197
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 5: play to that many people and they're obviously not well

198
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 5: a few of them are there to see you, but

199
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 5: then it's like a majority just there to experience, like

200
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 5: the headliner, right, But when they stumble across something that's

201
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 5: like on the side, you know, come on up, It's

202
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 5: it's interesting to see their reaction because they're kind of

203
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 5: like seeing it for the first time, they're like, Oh,

204
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 5: who the hell's this? Like, oh, you know, I'm picking

205
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 5: up their energy. Who's who are these guys about? Like,

206
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 5: let's let's go you know, the next day and listen

207
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 5: to these guys.

208
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: I feel like as well, when you're playing at festival,

209
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: you have to be in the mindset of you go

210
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: in the mindset of I want to win over every

211
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: person here, so you just try and play your hardest

212
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: or the best just to like, Yeah, I don't know.

213
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: It's the weird mindset of like, you don't want to

214
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: like yeah, you just want to.

215
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: You want to connect to as many people with the music. Yeah.

216
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: But it's a great Yeah. I love festivals. I think

217
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: it's very powerful festivals.

218
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: So in the US, radio plays often an important part

219
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 3: for new artists, not as much independent artists, but definitely

220
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 3: for new artists, and particularly the way radio over the

221
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: years here has dealt with, you know, an alternative sound

222
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: and indie alternative kind of sound.

223
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: What's the state of radio for a band like you guys?

224
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: In Australia, it's kind of a bit of a guessing

225
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: game what's going to work on Australian radio, if that

226
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: makes sense, because the channels are through Triple J, which

227
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: is very mixed bag Like you can have a bit

228
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: of surf rock in there, you can have mixed with metal,

229
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: mixed with you know, a whole different, you know world

230
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: of genres and sounds, where the US kind of has

231
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: a bit more of a direction of what it likes

232
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: and what it wants, and that's kind of where we

233
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: want to target is somewhere more definite. Australia is amazing,

234
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: and the and the music scenes here is great as well,

235
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: but it's a bit uncertain. No one really knows what's

236
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: good or what's not good. Where America is like, Yeah,

237
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: that's a catchy churn, that's got a melody, that's got

238
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: a certain sound to it, that's gonna that's gonna appeal.

239
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: We're in Australia. No one really knows what works and

240
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: what doesn't work.

241
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they followed it. Yeah, they follow what works.

242
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 4: But can you envision a world where.

243
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: You guys, as an Australian band, really find your greatest

244
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 3: success in the future in the US.

245
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely it would come from the

246
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: US or UK rather than Australia itself. I think a

247
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: lot of bands have done that, Like, for example, Five

248
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: Seconds of Summer, they had to break in the UK

249
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: and the US before Australia would adopt them. And I

250
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: think a lot of Another example, a recent example, the

251
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: kid l Ory absolutely blew up in the US before

252
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: Australia would you know, really come to the party. It's

253
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: one of those things where Australia kind of it kind

254
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: of gets most of its influence from the US and

255
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: they want to see that it's doing well in the

256
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: US before they give it.

257
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 2: It's, you know, get a mate standard approval sort of thing.

258
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: It's time.

259
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, So what's next over the coming year for you

260
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: guys in terms of touring and also in terms of

261
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: studio work.

262
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: I think I think the way the industry now is

263
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: it's just like constant waterfall releases of singles, like just

264
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: trying to consistently, you know, release singles building you know,

265
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: a waterfall release. And I think for us, and I

266
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: think for other bands as well, I think the old

267
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: school is the new school to stand out in today's world.

268
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: I think touring is the way to go.

269
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 5: Because if we score another big tour like Red Jumpsuit,

270
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 5: that would be really beneficial at this time, especially releasing

271
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: something in the Water and then followed by this awesome

272
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 5: song that I just can't wait to get out, Like yeah,

273
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 5: it's you know when you have that gup feeling you

274
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 5: just kind of like know that there's some magic to it.

275
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 5: But it would be good to tour twenty twenty five

276
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 5: just to see who's the best fit, you know, because

277
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 5: Red Jumpsuit Apparatus they were a really good fit for us,

278
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 5: and now we're waiting on our manager now just to

279
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 5: come forward to hopefully, you know, give us a shot

280
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 5: with another really successful bands, just because that would be magic,

281
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 5: That would just be awesome.

282
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,640
