No Cure - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2034

Hey I'm Blaith. I'm Duncan. We are known as the cozy captains of No Cure Straight Edge. We're on tour right now with a band called Throne from Sweden. We got Varials and Heaven's Gate. We put out a new record so we're playing most of that. It's called I Hope I Die Here on Sharptone Records. We're going to show you the inside of this fart chamber. Let's go. We live better than So this is the front of our spaceship. Front lounge. The front lounge yes. Most of the time either Kyle, Blaith, or Jake are up here and if it's during the daytime it'll be me because I'm night blind now. Yeah he got messed up. I'm not allowed to drive at night and Aesop is not allowed to drive ever. Yeah we just got a new whatever the **** this thing is because our aux port stopped working on the last tour and it was hell. Got some random shit in here. Some earplugs or some headphones from Bucky's. 20 bucks. They sound terrible. We got this cube guy. I don't ever use them though. This is Stolen. That's her name. She's not, I mean she was Stolen but she's all her name's also Stolen because we're good at that. Yeah we got a case of strain bumper sticker just to you know just remind us that we love them which is true. Yes we got some balaclavas because like I said earlier we love to steal. They love to steal. We got some more stickers in here. We used to use this before we got this beautiful thing. This is our pantry right here and it also is nice because it's flush or practically flush with this right here. Someone can sleep across here. We don't try to take more than six people on a tour but we've had to do that before and in those situations it's nice to have something flat like this so somebody can sleep across the front up in here. I don't even know what's in here right now. Vegan cookies that our friend Dale made us last night. Yes. Got some snacks. For some reason they gave us a rider the first few days of this tour which we don't deserve We don't deserve a rider. We usually just ask for 10 bucks and be like all right cool. Oh my god yay 10 dollars. They like actually read our riders that our manager made so we just have a bunch of snacks for if we get hungry at night which is cool. Yeah that's about it that's in there. We used to have some peanut butter and jelly like the things and they rotted in there so we had to get a new one of these. It was pretty bad. So yeah a lot of times I do night driving because I don't want to be awake in this vehicle ever if I'm not doing my shift and I listen to a lot of like nostalgic stuff that I listened to when I was a kid or like I like have a list of like new bands and like new releases I try to like stay on top of. You don't want to get too old you know you got to know what's going on. I like driving to Ghost Atlas a lot or like bands that I've toured with prior to Nokia because I did a bunch of stuff with like the Japan era and to listen to them just like makes me happy because I love them if that makes any sense. So it keeps me awake because I remember the good memories when I'm listening to their beautiful songs. I listen to a lot of just like older thrash and death metal usually it helps me stay awake. I've been on a hip-hop kick lately as well a lot of like Boldy James and that kind of shit. It's just easy to listen to keeps me awake. If a band is nice to me on tour I love their music. That is super true. I fall for that every time. You can make the most ass shit ******* generic or shit but if you are really nice to me every day for a month I'll be like this is amazing yeah put that shit on. So we are six people on this tour five in the band and we have a guy named Zach Allen from North Carolina doing photos for us because we're playing a great show and I don't have a picture of it doesn't like you don't believe me you know so yeah we have Aesop she sleeps on this bench every night never goes anywhere else uh always never anything else and then we have this open trench here so basically we have one bench and they took the other three back benches out and I'll tell you why but we're right but we have this this trench here is what we call it and that's where Duncan normally is my bedroom pretty much and then we have a a bunk situation I'll show y'all in a minute it's a little messy I'm sorry it's just blankies it's just cozy time you know but we have shoe rack here so in the shoe rack uh people put their shoes in there I personally don't because my shoes are size 14 so it doesn't really work so I kind of I usually like stuff mine here or there or something you got boots in the trench boots and boots in the little gully here yeah I've got a razor and some uh dye because I like to dye my eyebrows because they grow in different colors and then I get pictures of myself and I'm like I'm really ugly today I should kill myself so I dye them I got some candy last night um it was really good my stomach hurt ******* Birkenstocks yeah for some reason don't know who those are I think those are zags yeah yeah it truly just becomes a junk wall at some point in the tour uh most of the time it's only like three of us uh putting our shoes in here because we all have like the average like size 10 shoe um and so we'll stuff our shit in here and then everybody else puts their stuff in here we got this because if you're straight edge you know why you need one of those at all times we got some sunglasses um got a laminate from something probably says what oh yeah this was a show we played in Virginia that was cool vomit was there I loved that about it yeah yeah we just got some random shit in here some air tags and whatnot some dirty socks that's really cool um I'm gonna go over this bench this is where our guitar player guitar player Aesop farts when she sleeps a lot of farts while she's asleep a lot of farts when she sleeps um she has a lot of tattoos and so she has to use a white paint pen to x up instead of black because you wouldn't be able to see the black one on her hand just look muddy yeah and she has a cute stuffed animal I guess to comfort her um I don't really know what's going on with that she likes to do this thing where she drapes all of her clothes over this bench and I sleep here and so whenever I fall asleep there's always like a stinky shirt or something that falls on my face while I'm trying to sleep so that's pretty cool got a blasphemy hoodie yep she loves that hoodie um yeah some water bottles under there just like some extra storage nothing really interesting yeah so that's the Aesop zone uh this is my room this is where I sleep um I sleep the longest out of everybody I think I don't know what makes me do that but I do so play drums yeah it it makes it hard for everybody whenever they need to leave the van in the morning because I'm just in the ******* way of everybody else I don't feel like it's hard to get over you I just feel bad like if I **** up your sleep I sleep through it every time so it's fine I'm sorry for being considerate of you thank you uh I got a pillow because you need a pillow I got this dope bag with my computer in it with some snoopies um I keep this on lock because I don't want to spend money on food in the morning so I'll just buy a bunch of bags from a grocery store of granola and I'll just eat that in the morning whenever we go to coffee we have got to start getting paid better it's really good well I mean it's it's really good so I don't mind my boy should have eggs or some shit you know the granola is good for me uh I got I get really cold so I have like four hoodies in here and a sleeping bag and a blanket we got like some padding stuff going on right here we we're like the most comfortable band ever that's why we say cozy captains because we are the captains of cozy every tour has been like an upgrade from the last one as far as like mattresses and layouts and everything have have uh gone so now I mean Zach our photographer for this tour we exiled him to bottom bunk with Blaith uh Blaith is super tall so this is the only place where he can fit yeah I can't lay out straight anywhere else in this vehicle so yeah and I actually really like to lay out straight it's weird how much people take that for granted but a lot of my touring has not been able to be that way so I have mandated that for this sometimes he'll uh he'll uh kick me in the rib I don't know how that's happening my head's like against the back of the van yeah he's still super long so it doesn't matter oh we have a little bit of storage right here yeah I think all of this is like Zach's no this is mine okay this is my official Sango Suggabog branded switch case it's got Sango Suggabog bottle openers on it it makes a lot of sound because of that due to my time with them and I love them dearly um I don't know if you guys like games but I do have a switch in here I kind of broke my screen protector which is embarrassing all right uh let me put y'all on to the Hori split pad pro so you put this in both sides of your switch which I can't do with one hand but it just slides in there um because your hand like if you're playing switch laying down your pinkies might fall asleep but if you have these it's a lot more comfortable but yeah I play a lot of Mario Kart I'm pretty ******* good at it so I got the new Sonic Generations Shadow Generations game which I didn't realize was just a remaster of Sonic Generations plus a new game the new game for Shadow was sick but the other one was just another game that already existed which I didn't understand but it was a good time I'd say it's worth getting um Tears of the Kingdom gotta play that Breath of the Wild I don't know I played that a lot when COVID hit because I was like on a tour when COVID hit and it kind of like broke my brain for a while so I played a lot of that and it don't want to be dorky about it but it was really awesome I have Neverwinter Nights real ones know about real early 2000s CRPGs that's my shit I have Divinity Original Sin 2 on here downloaded so I like RPGs and I like Nintendo games but yeah it's pretty good pretty good shit but I play Minecraft on my computer but that's not for the switch so anything fall out yeah make sure nothing falls out this is um this is the backyard no one calls it that we got some more of these and they're falling apart like crazy somebody's thirsty over here sounds like I think that's Kyle yeah so yeah my head goes literally right here and it's against the back of that because I'm trying to kick Duncan in the chest and ribs as little as possible to do to my long overgrown body um whenever we have someone extra they'll be next to me down there and that is the size of a twin so it's pretty tight um I don't love that but I'm long so it's okay the top bunk is pretty good it's really wide so we put two people up there as well and they don't touch the whole time like I do with the bottom bunk yeah we have Kyle there we keep Jake right here we have our two shorter members up top so their legs don't we are a short king type band besides me yeah besides this guy so promos look a little funny sometimes everybody's pretty cozy up here I think so yeah this the way the bunk is constructed is so it can be removable um I'm not going to take it apart because I'm on tour right now and I need it but essentially uh the main frame can just slide straight in the top pieces go on top of it so I built this bunk for my old band actually and it's just worked this long um I built it in a Home Depot parking lot in Scottsboro Alabama which is like kind of out there and I went in and out of the Home Depot like probably eight or nine times because I would like measure and cut one piece of wood bring it in here be like oh shit go back in there cut off an inch be like and I just like went and just built it with a with a drill and yeah it's the bunk and it allows two up two down and I don't know we never get hotels because I don't think they make sense for a touring band we drive every night because most of us have to like work during the day to like afford to do this so yeah we don't get hotels so we have to have like a decent sleeping situation and I think that we're more cozy than most bands so I like it a lot definitely yeah we sleep good we used to have the second bench in but then you would get like trapped down there so yeah really scary I liked it because I don't get claustrophobic and I like feeling like I'm just in a safe little confined area but I think that that most people don't work like that really yeah super hated it he used to be down there with me sometimes then he moved out it was painful thanks for checking out our house away from uh home uh we are no cure um we have a new record out called I Hope I Die Here it came out a couple months ago and we're pushing it as hard as we ******* can right now yep it's on Sharp Tone Records it's our first label release everything else has been 100% DIY which was very fun but it's nice having a little help uh the record's got you know someone on every song from Alabama that's either in some way contributed to metal and hardcore there over the years and you know you can just make a record and put your friends on it if you want like you can just do that and that's what we chose to do so it's pretty fun hope you all check it out thanks for watching
