Olive Vox, what's going on tonight guys? How you doing? Good, how are you? Excellent, excellent. Now, for the fans watching this for the first time, what are you guys' names? I'm Caden, I play guitar in Olive Vox. All right. I'm Dayton, I play the... All right. Parker, I sing. Sing, okay. I'm Ben and I play the bass. Ben, okay, I like that, I like that. So, tell me about you guys' band, you know, for a first-time listener. Like, what are you guys' influences? What do you sound like? Well, we're based out of Dallas, Texas. Caden and myself are brothers. These guys are not brothers. Oh. Yeah, by spirit, they are brothers. We're blue-eyed brothers. They're blue-eyed brothers. Okay, okay. What we sound like, I don't know. I feel like we're kind of all over the place. We have a blend of just all of our inspirations, you know. Listen to, you know, things like KG Elephant, Tidal Fight, Turnstyle, you know, Old Punk, Sex Pistols, all that good stuff. Okay, okay. Do you guys listen to vinyl? Yeah. You guys strike me as the type that probably have, like, a record player and a... Yeah, yeah. Do you release your records on vinyl? Because I see a lot of artists are doing that. We really want to. I think we're going to do a CD release and maybe a cassette release. I love cassettes. That's, like, really my thing. Right. No, no, no, no, no. I saw that Eminem released his greatest hits on cassette and then he signed them. And they're on eBay for, like, a ton of money right now. So, yeah, now they even grade them. They, like, grade the records and all that. But, so, that would be, you know, awesome to see, like, some vintage, you know, release-type stuff. What can people expect from you at your shows? Like, do y'all get pretty wild and crazy? Yeah, yeah. I feel like we, like, we are a band to play live shows, you know what I mean? That's, like, our bread and butter. So, like, we try to bring the energy. Okay, so you guys go pretty wild. Yeah. Okay, I like that. What's one of the craziest things that's ever happened at your shows? Uh, I don't know. I do a lot of crowd surfing, so. Really? If they catch you, they don't. Then there's a lot of people not catching them. Wait, what, what, what? I've jumped into the crowd and, of course, there's, like, a bunch of old heads. So, I jump in and everyone's, like... Everyone's... Isn't there a movie where that happens? I think somebody just jumps in and they just hit the... Lots of movies. One of the first, our little last tour that we did, one of the first shows, I, like, got a little too excited and I jumped up and, like, shot his eyes. And he was, like, bleeding down his face. Oh. First show of tour, Ben killed Parker. Yeah. Wow. Have you ever seen that video of Chris Novoselic where he throws the face up and it hits him in the face and knocks himself out? Yeah. That was you guys, basically. That was your moment. Do you guys stream your shows or are they on YouTube or, like... We have a few. Yeah, there's a lot of fans that have, like, shot a whole set on YouTube. Like, we have some, like, OG sets on there. And then, like, we have one off this tour that we just got off with Badflower. I think the LA show is all on YouTube. Wow, wow. Nice, nice, nice. And is there anybody that you want to work with or want to tour with? Like, is there... I don't know if bands really collab, but, like, you know, feature, like, on your song? Yeah, for sure. I think, obviously, the obvious answer right now is Turnstile. Like, they're just, like, the freshest in the game doing it. Really? In the best way. Oh, yeah, for sure. Okay, I'm going to have to check them out because I feel like I'm out of the loop that I don't know about them. No, no, no, no. I haven't heard them, but believe it or not, I've been listening to a lot of Olivia Deen lately. Oh, really? Yeah, so I've been listening to her, like, yeah. Well, Turnstile, they just mix a lot of great inspirations. Like, they're really just their own thing. Really? And that's the coolest part about them is just, like, they just, you know, build their own world around what they like. And I feel like, to go back to that first question you asked, that's kind of, like, what we do. It's, like, just build what we are listening to and just, like, what we like and just put it into one. So I feel like we're really just our own whatever we want to be. Okay. We've all been consuming for the past, like, year. It's what... Okay. ...ends up on the record, for sure. Okay, you guys got any crazy DMs from fans? No, no. It's usually nice ----. Funny photos. Yeah, funny good stuff, like screenshots from live streams and stuff like that. Ah. Pretty diabolical stuff. There's this one fan that her Instagram name is based on a... It's, like, a pun of her name and a song that's not even out yet. It's coming out Friday. Ah. Well, how does she know the name of the song? I guess she showed up. Yeah, she showed up. Oh. Yeah, she showed up live. So shout-out May for being a... May. ...big Omega fan. Oh, shout-out to May. Okay. All right. That's always, like... We really appreciate the fans. And, like, honestly, it's just been... Ever since, like, the Bad Flower Tour, we went on a tour in February and March. We just gathered so many new fans. And, yeah, the DMs have been popping lately. Good. And it's really cool. Nothing too crazy. It's just all love, you know? That's so good. That is so, so good. Well, do you guys have, like, a final message to your fans, you know, that you wanted to... Or shout-out to other than May? Hear me out. Out this Friday, the 17th. New single. And we may be announcing something on that day, too. Okay. And come out to our shows. Yeah. I like that. We're on the road with the toadies for the rest of the year. Oh, I love the toadies. All right. Hey, well, we need those vinyl releases. That's the plan. That's you guys' homework for the summer is to release vinyl. So, all right. Thank you so much for your time, guys. Take care. Thank you.
