So right now we are mastering, so hopefully this will be the only mastering that will happen!\u00a0 There are 6 of us in the band&#8230;and we&#8217;re all fucking assholes (laughs).\u00a0 So we will see where we are tomorrow, right now we are on course.\u00a0 We literally had to put down a release date and book a tour just to get us finished.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Otherwise you would still be arguing over that snare head this time next year haha?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yeah, pretty much!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you first sat down to chat about writing and recording Weapons, what were the general thoughts on what you wanted to do with this album musically in comparison to The Betrayed?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Well I produced the last album and I started to produce this record and a lot of bad memories came flooding back.\u00a0 We started and we did about 4 or 5 songs together and it was going pretty well, but I just felt we needed some outside perspective.\u00a0 It was just starting to sound too easy and to me that was scary.\u00a0 I just felt like we were resting on our laurels too much.\u00a0 Luckily a couple of songs made it on the album from those sessions so it wasn&#8217;t a complete waste of time.\u00a0 We are one of those bands that will write 5 songs and keep 2, that&#8217;s the kind of band we are.\u00a0 My big thing with this album and I know it doesn&#8217;t sound anything like this, but I wanted us to make our AC\/DC record.\u00a0 Which is basically, let&#8217;s strip it down and be a ROCK band.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s get rid of all the pretence, let\u2019s really focus in and make a really tight 10 track record.\u00a0 All those old AC\/DC records are 10 tracks, that was my initial vibe and that&#8217;s what I was aiming for.\u00a0 I&#8217;d say for the most part that&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve done, there are a couple of parts though where we&#8217;ve veered off course a little bit however.\u00a0 But I think that&#8217;s for the better and not for the worst.\u00a0 I always like to have some kind of idea what we are doing and that was the kind of record I wanted to make&#8230;a really passionate and honest record.\u00a0 Our last album was really abrasive and stripped back to the point there was almost bones showing!<\/p>\n<p><strong>So was this then a more enjoyable album to make for you personally, not wearing the producer\u2019s hat as well?<br \/>\n<\/strong>It was cool, I was able to kick back and really focus on writing songs you know.\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t matter how well your record is produced, if your songs suck, then your songs suck!\u00a0 It was real good to be able to take it all in on this album and look at things from a different perspective compared to the last album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cBetter Off Dead\u201d off the new album has been available for free download now, that\u2019s a massive sounding track, how would you compare that to the album in general?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Musically, that song is pretty representative, but lyrically Ian&#8217;s really pissed off in that song.\u00a0 He ended up actually changing some of it because he felt bad.\u00a0 He was so fucking pissed off that he felt it was too much.\u00a0 I was like dude don&#8217;t be silly, but he stepped back, and whilst he&#8217;s still raging on the song, he dialled the intensity back a notch.\u00a0 Basically with that song,..we all chip in with little demos and we chuck it in the pot and Ian picked out these 4 chords that Luke had put in.\u00a0 Ian thought he could sing a really cool melody over those chords and so we sat in a room and jammed it and wrote the song in an hour or two.\u00a0 Ian started doing that vocal delivery on it which none of us expected and we were kind of freaked out by it at first, as it didn&#8217;t sound like something we would do.\u00a0 But the more we made the record, the more it felt right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Being your 5<sup>th<\/sup> album and following on from The Betrayed, did you feel any major expectations from outside influences such as fans, media, record label\/management etc?<br \/>\n<\/strong>You know what, there&#8217;s a point in every record where that really, really becomes a focus but then you just really just chase your tail on it and you can make yourself fucking sick as you can&#8217;t predict tomorrow.\u00a0 You&#8217;ve got to sit down and go&#8230;why are we doing this?\u00a0 That&#8217;s getting back to the whole AC\/DC comment earlier&#8230;what&#8217;s the point of being in the fucking band?\u00a0 &#8220;Because we love it&#8230;&#8221;. So why do we care what the fuck anybody else thinks?\u00a0 Now that&#8217;s not to be disrespectful to our fans or anything, but if you write what other people want, then you\u2019re only going to be second guessing yourself.\u00a0 If you are second guessing yourself on stage, people smell bullshit and I honestly believe people smell bullshit a mile away.\u00a0 You know, there could be a band that might be the biggest band on radio this week and watching them is like watching fucking wood!\u00a0 I don&#8217;t want to be cynical, but it&#8217;s pretty easy to just write a pop song if you really want to and of you have the right backing behind you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well yeah you could become the biggest band in the world, but if there&#8217;s not that belief there, it is easy for bands to come across as fakes!<br \/>\n<\/strong>Exactly!\u00a0 We are at the point now where we know how to write songs now.\u00a0 When you start as a band you don&#8217;t know how to write songs.\u00a0 As you go on you start learning how to write and in a way there&#8217;s almost a certain formula you could be following to tick all the boxes.\u00a0 It almost becomes boring in a way and you could disappear up your own ass and turn into like a prog rock band, or you&#8217;ve just go to be honest with why you are doing it.\u00a0 So long as you are honest for the right reasons&#8230;\u00a0 Like AC\/DC again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well yeah, they&#8217;ve stuck to the same thing for over 30 years&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/strong>Exactly, that&#8217;s kind of where I&#8217;m coming from right now.\u00a0 Raw honesty.\u00a0 The last record was just raw and honest.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t want it to sound as much that way on this record, but I wanted the intent to be the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWeapons\u201d is the title of the album, what can you share about the inspiration behind that album title and maybe the lyrical themes (if any) that are throughout the album?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Well it&#8217;s just a play on words really.\u00a0 Anything can be a weapon.\u00a0 It&#8217;s such a vague term, basically in your own head you will see something.\u00a0 It&#8217;s such a provocative word, so that&#8217;s why we picked it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In about 5 weeks now, you will be headed out to sunny Australia\u2026.you\u2019ve certainly picked a good year to be on the Soundwave Festival, it\u2019s a massive lineup!<br \/>\n<\/strong>We were over about 8 years ago for the Big Day Out and that was one of the best things we&#8217;ve ever done.\u00a0 Then we were over a few years ago and we hadn&#8217;t been there for 6 or 7 years and people turned up to see us!\u00a0 We were like &#8220;holy shit, we&#8217;re on the other side of the world and people know who we are&#8221;!\u00a0 It&#8217;s so humbling and those shows we&#8217;re awesome too.\u00a0 So hopefully this time will also be a really good tour, having a lot of fun.\u00a0 We are a pretty crowd friendly band and involve people as much as possible, so hopefully it will be fun times all round!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can we expect to hear a bunch of new songs in the setlist, or haven\u2019t you thought about that yet?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yeah well probably play about 3 off the new record.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t want to be that band that is like \u201cwe have a new record coming out and we are going to play a whole bunch of songs from it\u201d&#8230;.\u00a0 It never really translates live anyway.\u00a0 It&#8217;s going to be great to really get behind this new album and tour our asses off.\u00a0 We haven&#8217;t really had a chance to do that since 2004.\u00a0 We&#8217;re excited to have a label behind us, we have new management behind us.\u00a0 So it&#8217;s going to be great to really give this record a good shot and support it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well I certainly look forward to hearing the album and more importantly check out the show at Soundwave in a few weeks!<br
