Bound for a pet store in America, the animal carries a vicious virus known as... Retox. Now I know that some of us have doubts about what we're going to do. We'd be less than human if we didn't. But the fate of the nation, perhaps the world, is in our hands. We cannot, we dare not, refuse this burden. I'm confident that each of you will do his duty. God forgive us. Your town is quarantined. We got 19 that actually give a shit. We got 100 more infected. It's spreading like a wildfire. People are starting to actively attempt to positively change the world. What are you talking about? From the heart of a California city to the inner circle of a power in Washington. The most optimistic projection of the spread of the Retox virus is this. 24 hours, 36 hours, and at 48 hours, the entire country is converted to progressive thinking. The growth of the world. The greatest medical crisis of all time. We can't stop it. Begins. Many people are losing their narcissistic tendencies, and they will only continue to take selfies unless we find this monkey. See the Retox take over and outbreak the Retox virus. Welcome back to A Pint of Cacophony. My name is Dan Pacinello. Oh man, that was a trailer for Michael Crane. He's with me. How are you? Hey. Did you hear that trailer for you guys' band? Yeah, what was that? I was like, what the hell is a Retox virus? It was our take on Outbreak, the movie with Dustin Hoffman. I don't know if I've ever seen that. With Dustin Hoffman? Yeah, it's like these monkeys bring this virus into the world that just takes over the United States. And the government's like, we're going to fire bomb like half of the country to save the world. And Dustin Hoffman is like, we're going to fire bomb half of the country to save the world. And Dustin Hoffman is like, we're going to fire bomb like half of the country to save the world. And Dustin Hoffman is like, no ways. We can fix this. Is it an 80s movie? I think it's in the 90s. I don't know. Movies aren't really that important. How are you doing? I'm all right, man. Yeah? Just, you know, doing my thing. Fucking living. I don't know. So what's Retox up to these days, currently? We just finished tracking our new LP. get in the studio for five days and knocking that out. So that was definitely the, that was the priority and everything. And now just getting ready for some more dates and that split seven inch release with narrows. That's awesome. With narrows. Retox musically started off raw, crude, and like a caveman and then gradually became more polished like on a YPLL, which we played earlier last time you were here. Was that a calculated? Yeah. Was that a calculated decision or did you guys just naturally, subconsciously involve into that? I think it was more or less the producer, you know, who we worked with. Right. His particular sound was more polished and everything. That's, that's, you know, that's how it turned out. And this last one, the one we just, just recorded is definitely not substandard. So polished. Right. Way more crude. I would say it sounds fucking rad. It sounds tough as nails. So would you say from like the writing room to the, like we're tracking this for the final, it was a way shorter time span than the last time? Yeah, definitely. We were only in the studio for five days. I'm like Brian and Keith, the drums and bass were done and a little more, like 24 hours, they were already done. So yeah. And then I think only a couple of the songs, let me think about that, had been written for a while. Right. We were playing them out. Actually two of the songs we'd played out before. And everything else was just fresh. Yeah. The other ones were all just freshly written. That's sick, man. So how many tracks are we looking at? Twelve. Twelve tracks. And when do we get to see it? That's a good question. Oh, I think we're shooting, I think it's like January 27th-ish, the street day. But I posted it. It's like a, just like a short video, Instagram video of us when we were mixing, or I don't remember what we were, no, not even mixing. But it's only like eight seconds, obviously, of one of the songs. But that's on our Facebook page or whatever, if anyone's curious. Not that eight seconds will tell you much, but. Awesome. We'll find it and we'll share it on our sources. I feel like it's going to be like a little teaser everybody needs. Totally. You guys are constantly on the road and playing with different bands on your own. What does touring and being on stage mean to you, Michael? Touring and being on stage? Yeah. I mean, touring means I'm not going to be getting a lot of sleep or eating that great for a long time. And but it's still, I don't know what it is. It's like something, I don't know, it might be a curse or just something you're born into, some weird curse you're born with that you are going to just go on tour and you're used to it and you don't know how not to do it. Right. Even though you know it's fun. Yeah. It's probably not that great for you. And being on stage is just essentially like telling a story. It's where we just get to, I don't know, it's where we get to display the art. That's great, man. And connect with people. Right, right. And that's the best, one of the best parts for sure. Awesome. Well, I appreciate you giving us a call, Michael Crane from Retail.com. Thank you. You're welcome. Thanks. in the actual studio where you were sweating your balls off in. That's awesome. Like, I am not even close to sweating right now. It's perfect. I wish you were sitting in front of me so you can experience it. Dude, you guys are totally fucking coming up. Next thing you know, you'll be moving closer to Skid Row. Proud of you guys. Really proud of you guys. Oh, thanks, man. It means a lot. We're proud of you too, man. Just keep up the fucking tunes so we can still keep rocking out. For sure, man. All that. And, oh, yeah, and I'm sure Justin will tell you, the name of the new LP is Beneath California. Beneath California. And, yeah, that'll be around soon. We're going to be on top of it, and everybody can totally keep up right here on Pineapple Coffee. Thanks a lot, Michael. Yeah, for sure. And I'll be in there then probably. See you guys soon. Hell, yeah. So we're going to go into re-talks right now. Have a good night, man. All right, thanks, guys. All right, best of all. See you tomorrow. Tell me more, tell me more. Wasn't love at first sight? Tell me more, tell me more. Did he put up a fight? Shut the fuck up, it's re-talks.
