doing great thank you we're elevated again the numbers are staggering and we have a group here that have staggering numbers and some of the video things we see in the back of a over twenty thousand hits cry have a let loose a primal scream but the truth of wisdom in chains we're talking to thank you thank you lord awesome awesome well yes adam and rest of the princeton world out there and anybody from the hardcore scene watching happy to have wisdom in chains on this show so for anybody not the hardcore scene could you just explain a killing time and that's what we do sort of it all hard core is an addictive thing if you if the listeners are familiar with hardcore definitely google hardcore music and there's a long rich history of incredible bands from most major cities in the u s and now all over the world as hardcore bands but it's a it's a very in your face truthful form a rock  roll and we find it very cathartic yeah it's like you always hear that term it's it's like a lifestyle but it is you know you know you're involved with it it's not the sound of the ban one time was the sound of the band you can pick out a hardcore band by the sound now the sounds are real broad from left to right lot of metal influences the punk influences but it's the lifestyle you know and you see in a lot of bands like code orange like our trip coming from our scene now getting a lot of recognition play you know it's with the internet and with a different kind of method to distributions and nobody's buying c d s and stuff like that anymore the words getting out easier because it's such an underground thing for so long you know  he was a drummer so play drums but this is a test tour package of friends all like a bunch of guys together on a bus hidden key spots in europe couple like t v spots would be like eindhoven there's of the first thing is a festival sound revolution evolution in hitting the major cities like paris berlin like almost like like when you said you feel at home in different places berlin paris london when i had london in a storm thing but i know we have a show in austria you have a show in switzerland places only if if you do right by the scene if you play the scene wrong and you take advantage of the scene then if you're not welcome in hardcore it's a rough scene it's beyond the you know the old you catch because wherever you go what's doing mind as our friend scotty bank says a collective hive mind of hardcore punk rock decides what flies in that in the scene so and then you know since a lot of people know each other so hard to get away with things it's like in the m scene which is a you know that's that's great and to but it's real it's professional they have lawyers and a lot of management and they're looking for that next step they'll they'll play a club and they'll take some abuse from the club owner because he's in a bad mood and they're just you know it's business as usual but with a hardcore band it's different so maybe that's why hardcore bands on reach a certain level because there's a lot of ethics involved and if you you know if you do the wrong thing you could take a shot and formed after my first show ever like i went i saw sick of it all at city gardens in trenton i went i remember thinking the documentary the classic place in threatening yeah so i saw sick of it all and immediately like that night on the way home from the show me and our bass player now unwisdom in chains he was also at the show it was my first band also and we had my older brother was in the band a bunch of us we formed our first band on the way home f my first show that because i said this i know what i want to do i know i want to do now i need to be an awkward man and joe actually made a song about that called chasing the dragon and the dragon logo is sick of it all as logo like that  meaning there's there's a few different levels of meanings in that song but that's definitely one of on trying to relate the feeling i get from hardcore like chasing the first high like the first show itself first you know maybe a junkie might feel like you it's a it's unexplainable unless you felt that yourself and you want to reclaim it so yeah that effort show was one of the most profound experiences of my life outside of having my first son you know like that was such a tough but you just have to be willing to work that's most things in life if you want to you have to be want to work you have the level we do it on as we work full time jobs we never took like that chance and totally committed and just went with it some people we know did and some are you know that's what they do for a living they have great livings don't as some you know that work out they went back to the workforce we do both and we could make money on the road not a ton of money so it's not a big hit when we're out but we try to play key shows instead of just staying out there then we come back and he's you know he has a family's got to have the insurance and all that stuff so you know we can we could at this point we work full time jobs for years but also toward three four times a year and play key shows like it was relevant but it's also about you got to write the songs at the right time to go put out material you know that's because luckily with the internet you know you could reach people with that it will think you're dead like whatever happened to that  you sure but it didn't deter me from wanting to go it was more of a i was kind of drawn to the fear of like well like anything can happen here what then that was my first impression eventually you realize who's trying to intimidate people might pop in and try you know luckily you know luckily we had good teachers like the band he saw sick of all that was like our teachers and we could hear what they would say when they would see these types of people in the crowd and it would make people like us feel more comfortable you know and yeah these bands would regularly call people out for doing things that you know because that you know that that type element was drawn to that music it's aggressive tough music they were drawn to it but then lyrical they had no business being there to do your lyrics are much different than actually you know yeah i mean they have their own bands in our own senior know they can do that but they show up once a while if they like the bands but they'll try to stay in cognito or they'll just come for trouble and and  write lyrics it's a process and in the beginning you what i tried to do was write lyrics that i think people would like and as i started to become a little more truthful in my lyrics and a little more vulnerable that's the lyrics people started to respond to so it's almost like you have to be willing to embarrass yourself to say something truthful or not that you'll be embarrassed about it if you say something that truthful and you really mean it and you say we're conviction there's someone out there that's going to relate to it and respond so i kind of learned through the years that the more open i am about my life about my feelings  the the better the lyrics are to but i feel better about them to know so mostly i draw my lyrics from life i sing a lot about my family a single lot about my wife and kids which is kind of day long he just writes guitar riffs and everybody in the band writes music origines writes like a machine he's a monster so he writes most of the he writes most of the music for that the band puts out and what i like to do is take in and think of a blank song like a soundtrack to a movie has been written yet i just do is is write lyrics that sound complimentary to the vibe of this good like rights of the tone of the music like if the before there's any vocals on it what kind of vibe goes if you and i go in that direction we've scrapped song before and like songs that i love the lyrics to but i wrote the lyrics before i heard the music and i said oh i have these there's maybe i'll put this alternate but it doesn't match up yeah so the lyrics sound like one thing and the music sounds different a different kind of straight edge like just by the grace of god if there's a god i just never drank or did any drugs ok i guess not i don't know what you want trying to poke yeah i'm a little bit paranoid i think that's why i don't trust  around people when i see a drunk person passed out seeing a target painted on someone's chest that's to me it's weird i'm a little too paranoid to be in a position so maybe that's why i'm straight as you know but i can't speak for everybody i was raised in a very strict religious house and i was i had a examples in my family of people who had had her ific drug problems oh so since a child i was paranoid also about ending up like sarastro it was easy for me to just decide as a kid as a youngster like i don't want to do drugs if ivan knew what straight ever heard of the word straight edge i just knew in my head i didn't want to be a drug addict  i look at writing want to plug a new band or anything you want to say i go for it we have a split seven inch that just came out on fast break records with our good friends our band we looked up to for a long time mad paul they did one song we did one on our tour no time to waste tour starting next friday throughout europe throughout europe now starting next saturday and i hope in november fourth throughout europe so if you're european listener come check us out on one of those dates with  any bird lace who's a marine has before going off to vietnam and it's about this awful party that the marines used to throw called the dog fight where they basically round up the ugliest woman that they possibly can and they bring them to a party and opens women correct and they all throw money into the pot and then whoever has the only state wins so that's basically the whole first act and then the second act is you get to see eddie as he realizes you know the person that he brought which is my character rose is actually a human being with oceans and feelings and realization that oh wow these people actually these we hurt these people that it brought to this party and how can i make it up to this girl so you really get to see his journey through i have some deep symbolism of course of my own intellectual masturbation for lack of counterculture we think of the protest as before any of that so the the perception of war and being a hero and serving your country not only being invincible but also you know there's a song hometown hero it's all about you and there's going to be a ticker tape parade for you you're going to have any choice of any woman you want and that's going to be your wife and just that there's this respect that you know as we as we know how everything turned out in history it's different it's a whole different piece and you know it's yeah but one of the things that i've been working with our wonderful wonderful director one thing i've been working on her with is making even though he is an asshole he doesn't make an option you know so i don't want him to just be a two d character i don't want him to just be like if you are angry or mean the stereotypical frat out the right right yes i want to and not just for me but every character that we have on that stage is it's a small cast you know we want to add   you know we all when we started we got together and we're like ok you know for some of our characters we don't have so much in the script we're kind of we're kind of there for the harmonies and for making it a group and me showing that group dynamic the unit of the marines  when we were interacting it was so much easier because there was a higher there was a who gets along with who don't like who you know that's so in those moments it just feels very natural and it feels very realistic you know a lot of times when there's something yeah i always thought you can correctly could you actually doing this when you show that humanity how does it come up through the your eyes your expression how do you you know complicated larry i think it's a combination of a lot of things both physically and mentally you know  half of the things that we layered onto our characters the audience is not going to notice they're not as i'm not to fly right yeah yeah so but it helps make the character just more schuman in general if we as actors add those layers because we know where we're coming from and where we have to go why we do the things that we do and that helps you know up to and working with kat that's really been a huge thing that she's she's been amazing  knows that i write and so she's had me like writing different memory is of roses like as you were saying like building layers i have all these different memories for when i was the most angry when i was the most sad when i was the most happy or excited in my childhood as rose home it's great to have support from the people that you love like my friends and family are very supportive of what i do and wife is very supportive of what i do and i'm forever thankful for that it's actually her birthday so happy birthday happy bir and i think yeah agree with that and then also i think it's it's a different beast that you're going after i feel like for me you know when i'm at work and then when i'm at rehearsal i'm very different person and for me hanging out with for your girlfriend your feelings like what you fear intensity pay for yourself like i've been doing this for a long long long time and i'm able to just pace myself i know how much i can give it any certain moment fall not depressing when you're depressed i can't i was that the president was away yes you get depressed sometimes too
