I don't know I don't know. It's like I was asking when we showed I was like you said a coffee my outfit Like y'all didn't plan on this like My man, what's up pulling up? Yeah, we are pulling up. So what are we wearing? Okay, cool Don't come here, but today It's been a while, but I'm glad you were back and this is gonna be our last show for these years So you came to wrap this show up and that's amazing You've been good Like he tells us how it's been Yeah, actually you maybe you should just introduce yourself like my body like maybe your name His name and introduce the other member who's not here today. So I'm willio Jiro. I'm the vocalist and guitarist He'll take over My name is Creed Timotua Fula. I'm the drama for power slide The last in spirit over there is George's Yeah, he's gonna make it he's traveled for you know holidays or something. He's working today. Oh, he's walking We don't mind at least you guys met time. I don't maybe he had like you you guys are supposed to have a gig So maybe I thought he went to represent you guys Just go represent maybe you guys skates so maybe he went to just skates. He's like I'm here. Yeah, actually is skating But his job is skating. Oh So all of you are still skating This is amazing Now not because of age or anything like you're like kids, you're literally kids Not because of that like you love that so much. So I'm just asking if you still do that. I Mean I skate in my head all the time, but I actually A bit old He's 23 guys. Oh my yeah It's like the weekends are for skating but now I have like other things to do on the weekends unfortunately I don't skate as much. Yeah, but you have a lot of studio time So that's amazing because just before this we were talking about how you guys have been consisting you have like even releasing music We almost forgot like because I've been so busy. We appreciate that and you're always the one You're the produce you produce the last song we talked about on the show I don't know the new song you also produced it or you were working with a different producer now produce all And he just acts like it's nothing like it's not a big deal That's what I love about rockers like you'll never find out like rockers is doing one thing they usually like They do rock music, but they always do something else apart from that So all right, so the year has been amazing at least better than 2020, right? Well, it had its challenges, but it was better than 2020 I prefer 2020. You're serious? Like the first hours of 2020 had a blast at the time of my life during covid We were dying Literally yes, but also because like we didn't have any money because they were not sure no gig So literally home. So how are you having a great time? I will the first few months really good and I'm the next few months What has been the highlight though for 2021 and Creed will tell us these also So we what has been that just you know the highlight for 2021 for you That's a tough question. I'll tell you after green Yeah, they're no highlights They're no highlights for real It's been boom No highlights Like going deep down into my rabbit hole of memories It's really nothing But I could say this like maybe the best highlight is getting my passport ready for the tour next year or something Yeah, that that that's big for me. Yeah, so we found something right? Yeah That can be a highlight for me We were actually gonna talk about that because the last time you guys were on the show you actually preparing to travel You had a Europe tour. You're supposed to travel to Europe for a tour Yeah, it was gonna be like a month or two months and then probably it happened. Yeah, so Yeah, maybe you can update us. He told us he got his passport So you already got your passport as well. I got it a while ago. Yeah, so that's still on Right now with tours you can I would be sure yeah, yeah, because like things keep changing Like now you do now you don't yeah, like you think you're gonna do that and then you pay my pickable We're back on lockdown. So yeah, we're not doing that We know But we will just do on now, you know an online one will tune in right yeah We have done those we did one of those like was it like two weeks ago This festival called I didn't forget any but it's for a session's life This looks like I'm is it what was the next one so that we tune in and we tell everybody to tune in So far we don't have anything planned We're just working on like studio stuff. Yeah, and I realized one thing like you guys were like super punk But now the more you produce music you're going more and more metal like every single day Like what is happening? I'm digging it but not so powerful like the next one comes and I'm like, okay, so When I was the thing you sing with rebels, but rebels do what they want. Yeah us making the kind of music you expect of us Isn't very rebellious is it? No in terms of how you act But we still dig that so what is happening? Did you just like sit down if you're like, you know what maybe not punk right now? Let's put that on pause. Let's do something a little hard or how do that? Like all the bands around the world everyone's changed Bands don't sound the same way they used to sound like five or ten years ago. Yeah, so You just move with the flow everything is changing. Yeah, everything, you know, man life Yeah I guess like we don't listen to as much punk anymore Most of the time I listen to mostly metal core or at least I listen to mostly metal core like house music listens to punk All kinds of music. Yes need to get everything. Yeah Inspiration from all over the place It's like now all the songs we make each song has like a different sound Yes, I noticed that and okay, so how does that happen before you come up with a new song? Well, just take me through the process like you're just like chilling you get like inspired you hit up crazy like yo I think I I'm going to something like where you want Yeah, yeah, yeah, we need houses like right now. How soon can you make it here? Like I don't know. I'm just imagining It's a bit different than you'd imagine I Come up with the songs in my head I Record them. I send like instrumentals to these guys I might ask like what should this song be about and then they might send like lyrics for they send song ideas Yeah, and then we have that we put it all together and then we listen to it We're like, oh, this doesn't work that doesn't work all right go back to the studio do more production stuff It's more it's more into production than actual writing. That's what it takes most of the time Yeah, all right. This one is like fun, right? So it's not really us like sitting in a room like blah blah blah this should be this Just like Like you guys meet up and they're like, okay pen pepper or like you you you know, you They're storming which I never shows up. I've invited over like every month every week for like the past But about showing up it's sometimes it's tricky when neighbors he's invited me over at theirs for the longest time I'm always like, yeah, it's been two years now. And every time Time and I'm just being lazy when you're in the house. You're like, should I like go should I sleep? You know, like I'm all right. I'm sorry. Yeah, we'll do something now This is our last show so we'll have some free time, you know, you know, so maybe so I understand Creed But then somehow you you guys always like as much as you don't see each other as Matches you'd love but you'll just find time to like when you're working on a song for everybody to do their part, right? Yeah, but George George and I like do a lot of work together even though a creed might be Much more busy than would allow him to come but George now like so many sessions Yeah, he he has like so much input on the album that you didn't even imagine. Oh, yeah It's like one of the biggest reasons our sound is changed with George. It's like he trains the way we look at music It's so awful that he couldn't make it today, but I'm sure he's here somewhere Shout out George somewhere. I just hoovering around, you know No, don't take me serious But anyway, so what are your plans for? You know, the year is already done and you said it wasn't the best year Yeah, it was like, you know awful and stuff Next year Last week, but this flu that everyone's talking about that's sort of flu Basically all the friends I went out with got it some of us got tested. Yeah, and he was going There's that aspect and then there's that as someone who is telling me something like, you know Like the moment you have a cold and then you go for a test Like hope it is really just a cold only they're like really awful because it affects your lungs and stuff But if you have a cold and then you go to check if you have a cold won't you still get the results? Maybe it has to do with Everyone who went for a test it came out positive. Yeah, so I'm like This is like really don't you just have like normal flu anymore for me. That wasn't a normal cold It was like really really weird. Oh, yeah, there's like a point where it felt like my face was falling off Yeah, I didn't even get the fever really enough both the cold I'd get the fever But it's I wasn't even but I didn't like spend like a full day in bed Even I was still working on the album with it was just like a nasty cop It I kid you know My joints were okay, I was just my face But it's over Next year has to be better, you know, it's an election. Yeah. Yes, but one and all like you have it for president That's our plans. He's trying to get into the state. It's all right. I stayed house. Yeah We've got a lecture campaign He's gonna chase a natural anthem to something Awesome and terrible at the same time because you're like don't care much about so many things Not just you guys like rockers at large like they don't like like you see how people like I Ain't like like when it comes to decisions, you're like, oh, this has to be done like this like that Like Crocker's just do things their way. So I feel like it would be
