The point was the Back to the Stack, the Rick Parfitt tribute that we put out.
You guys picked that up and championed that, thank you very much, and played it.
Since then it's been fantastic.
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster really.
With something like that it's either going to [C] sound really hokey [F#] or it's actually going to sound like these guys mean it.
It means a lot to them and [N] it's a great song.
It was a concern of ours when we wrote it.
That's exactly what we said, we didn't want it to be something, it needed to be heartfelt and meant.
It was honest, it genuinely was honest and I'm glad people thought like that as well.
All the Statescore fans, they're a hardcore bunch and they took it on board.
Rick's son, Rick Jr.
got in touch with us about it and Rick's second wife, Rick Jr.'s.' mum, also got in touch and said how much she loved it and thank you very much for doing it. It blew our minds really. It's a great springboard because you [F#] had a headline tour. 2018's been busy already. [G#] It has, it's been very busy. [A] We managed to play Download this year as well which is a complete mind blower really. That's the sort of thing you dream about when you start out. [G] [A#] But to do that was incredible. We have been busy. We're [E] planning another tour for the end of the year hopefully for the new album, Full Nelson. We like to keep busy, you've got to keep busy. Now the new album is only a couple of weeks away now? 10th August, yeah. How long of [B] a process was it from getting the songs together [E] to recording? Because bands don't [D#] have the budget given to them these days with which to [G#] spend six months or eight months in a studio. Yeah, exactly. When you don't have the budget you learn to work [F#] around that as a band like us. You work [F] fast, you don't have [N] the luxury of the time so you work harder at it and you make the most of your time than you make the most of the little bit of money you've got. You don't spend months in the studio. It's bizarre because we got a producer, a guy called Mike Exeter who helped come in to produce a track for us and we ended up spending another three or four days in the studio on that one track and it made us realise how long it can drag out, how long it can take when you get other people like producers involved. When you're doing it yourself you sort of just smash through it. Yeah, where as somebody else with another producer, why don't you try this? Exactly, yeah and it takes a lot longer. Next thing you know there's castanets and banjos, all sorts of things like that. No, actually massive backings and banjos. Maybe that's the next step, I don't know. On one of the other tracks on the last album there's a slide guitar. Oh, well that's acceptable. So what's it like out there? Obviously you see the weather out there today, it's a bit choppy out there. I think the worst of it is gone in terms of today's weather. Yeah, it looked bad when we turned up but now it looks like it's calmed down a bit now. When we came up the hill I said to Neil, the guy who was driving the van, I said don't drive in that field unless somebody tells us to drive in that field. Just keep going on the road because if we go in there and get stuck. There's been a few who got stuck up that hill recently. So, you've had your headline jump this year, you've got more dates to come before the end of the year. [F] Now the industry is chopping and changing all the time. We talked about you can't spend as long in a studio. Life on the road, tougher, easier? What's it like? Well for us, we're still in that position. We all have full time jobs, we're not bothered about telling people that. That's just the way it is. Isn't that funny how people have that sort of stigma? Yeah, I get it. People like to put it across as a fantasy dream. You're in a rock band and you get to do this and that but whatever, we don't. So you just have to work double as hard at everything else. It is hard work because we've got families now and houses and commitments and children and whatnot. It is tough but you work around it. You just adapt. It's like everything. Everything's changed so you can't continue to operate the way it used to be. You just learn and change things don't you? Do you think there's a point where it could change? Where you might have to make a decision about that and how it all works? I certainly think it's funny because when [N] we started out we never thought we'd ever get this far. As I'm sure a lot of bands don't. Then you think it'll stop, it'll fizzle out or we'll end up breaking up or something. Then something else great will come along and you think, crikey we've got to carry on. Then eventually the E-Rek thing came along and I was like wow, blimey. I think E-Rek are really interesting. They're taking traditional rock because E-Rek were known for their thrashier stuff and whatnot. But they really seem to have taken the whole classic rock thing and straight ahead rock to their hearts. We admire them hugely because they're a bold label and they weren't afraid in the start to go down that route with the extreme metal bands which I'm sure seemed bizarre to a lot of people at that time. Now they're not afraid to do this. They get a lot of stick on social media from the traditional metal fans. Why are you doing this? What's all this rock music? But they're not afraid to go with it. They're pushing us and those damn crows and the other new bands they've got. It's just amazing and they're a great bunch of people and they get [F#] it. Some people [C#] might think you're a new band but what is it, seven, eight [E] years? Just over eight years, yeah. So you've paid your dues, Baz. [N] It's funny. I suppose we're new at a level. But when people say you're a new band you think, crikey, you don't feel me to me. There's no beard on day one. No, no. But it is what it is. It's good to be a new band. You're new amongst these giants and that's a really great feeling. But the good thing is we've had years of experience so we can come in and blow some wigs off. People think you're just going to be nobody and you think, well no, we've been doing this a while now so I like to think we can know what we're doing. We'll soon find out on that stage. No pressure.
