Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where a Band of Silver and you're watching our most
Requested Ask Anything live chat. Our new song is called
Training Arc And thank you so much to Romeo and
iHeartRadio for having us on the show. And thank you
to everybody who submitted questions. I've looked through these already
and they are a lot of fun. So I'm really
excited to get into answering some of these. Okay, Gillian
from Saint Louis, Missouri asks where are you from? And
(00:20):
how do you pronounce your full name with the proper
hometown accent.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
We're from Nashville, Tennessee, kind of south of that in
like the just pronounced its silver nagel.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, like we're band of Silver, and we all have
native Nashvillian accents, like we've grown up here, like they
were born here. I'm technically from Indiana, but I've lived
here since I was two. But I mean, if you
really want a really butchered Southern accent, I'm a ver
silvernagel from a Band of Silver. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Everbody talks like that, talks like that.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Tom or bus driver in England's British accent Exactly, it's
a bad American accent. Sweet, Okay, Tiffany from Des Moines, Iowa, says,
do you have any shows coming up? We actually just
got off of a tour, like I said, all across
the Europe. Yeah, all across Europe, and so we just
(01:19):
had twelve shows and we are very content to just
be chilling a little bit. But we're looking at doing
some shows in the summer and fall hopefully, so keep
an eye out for that. Like, nothing sid in Stone yet,
but we really do hope to be on the road
a lot more this year. So we'll let you know
fall us on Bands in Town or Instagram if you
want to have more updates on that. Then Juanna from Lexington,
(01:42):
South Carolina asked how did training Art come together? So
I had we had just gone off the tour with
Ava Max that we did in twenty twenty three, and
we were writing with Sam and Yoav from The Living Tombstone,
and I had the idea that well, first of all,
they have AMAX tour was on larger stages than we
had ever played before. So I would be doing my
(02:05):
performance and I would start getting winded because I had
to move across these big old stages and so I
was like, crap, I've got to get my cardio up
because I can't be getting winded in the middle of
a performance. So I was hitting the gym, I was
hitting the training like I was hitting the treadmill a
lot specifically, and I was actually excited to do cardio,
which is absolutely insane, And so I took it to
(02:27):
Sam Yoov to be like, Okay, I want to do
this with the concept of training arc like from an
anime where the main character has like get stronger, defeat
the big bet or whatever, and so Alex can probably
explain a little bit more. How like the instrumentals came together.
I think we were most.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I think, you know, I'm just kind of noodled and
got some pretty old chords.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That's true. Yeah, I remember being inspired by like a
lot of like the eighties training montage type songs, like
those like fun like jazzer sized kind of video type songs.
But yeah, it was those guys were like the perfect
people to write this with because they're really they are.
I like, I had that idea and I was like,
we're taking this to Sam in you off because we've
written with them before, and I was like, there's such nerds,
(03:07):
it's gonna be perfect. So yeah, okay, I don't know
how to pronounce this name. No Irouana, I guess I
ownA from Winnipeg, Manitoba, says. Do you speak any other
languages besides English?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I mean, I'm pretty okay in Japanese. I know about
a thousand words. She was godd a Latin.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Oh no, okay, No, I couldn't speak it. Though nobody
speaks Latin, you've actually had a conversation with people in Japanese.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Evan understands Latin. She took the class to really well
in it and refuses to accept it. She just can't
speak it very well, she says, but she also doesn't try,
so I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I one time conversed with a Spanish speaker by speaking
Latin but adding a like like Latin American accent to it,
and it worked. That's the extent of it. You no,
not anymore. That was a long time ago. You guys
are bad. No, you guys actually trained on Japanese. I
haven't used Latin in forever. What was fun is I
(04:15):
could I started being able to read German when we
were on tour. Because if you just speak the words
then they sound kind of like stuff in English and
then if you learn a few words, then you can
kind of like smush them together, and so like soft
is sauce or no, soft is not sauce, it's juice,
and so zitron is lemon, and so zitron soft is
lemon juice. And it's great. I'm probably butchering because I
(04:37):
don't know how to speak the language, but that was
really fun translating stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Whatever language the speak and spatzoon this is true.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yes, actually yeah, I can confirm. Okay, Sky from Lansing,
Michigan says, how many songs do you think you've written
in your life? A lot? I can actually how many?
One hundred?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Ish?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay, I'm going to just look at the ones that
are released and the ones that I know exists. So
we five eight, seventy nine. I'm pretty sure the ones
that are in our catalog right now it's close to
forty or fifty, and then they're more coming out next year.
But actually, yeah, one hundreds probably accurate because some of
them I think it's like eighty.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
We had like thirty eight before going to MIC and
it's about like forty or.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Something, right, well, yeah, it would be fifty catalog, right,
and then we did about yeah, but he's and then
we have more some stuff with Skyler that we didn't
really release with, and then.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It would be actually closer to one hundred.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And we also did some just stuff with like other
songwriters that I don't think you were like therefore, yeah,
that's actually wild writers in Tennessee. And then some stuff
that they haven't gone too in like La yet.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Dang. Yeah, I guess it's a lot. So yeah, Okay,
Maddie from London, Ohio, that's a letdown. I'm sorry this
isn't a question, but I just wanted to tell you
I like your music. Thank you, So Maddie appreciate that. Yeah,
you get a pass from being from Ohio. Marina from
(06:20):
what the heck Naca Joe, Dexas, Texas. Marina from Texas
asked who's been kicked out of the band the most.
None of us have beened. We chilling. We're siblings. Yeah, Okay.
Rose from Tampa, Florida asks, is there a reason you
started in music? Is the reason you started in music
(06:40):
still the same reason you're in music today? For me personally,
it's not so I started the band. I didn't. I
never saw this actually being a career. I wanted to
go into the sciences when I was in high school,
but they had been writing music on their own and
they did the instrumentals, and then I started learning singing
because I started helping them with lyrics because that's what
they struggle with, and so I just kind of did
(07:01):
that to like help them out with like this fun
hobby that I was getting into. But then it ended
up becoming like a major source of like fulfillment and
drive and ambition for me once we started taking it
seriously as like a career, and so I actually value
it a lot more now than I did when I started.
And so I think that's pretty cool because there's I've
also learned a lot of other skills from it, like
(07:23):
talking to people, performing, editing, like all this kind of
stuff has just come out of it, and it's really
it's been a really fun ride to be on. So yeah,
do you guys want to move on from that? Then sure? Okay,
cool okay. Mia from Houston, Texas asks if you could
(07:44):
collaborate with any artist right now on a song, who
would you choose and why? Uh?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I knew he's in Georgia.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I think he I think we could get like a
really good sound with him, like based off of what
we've done with Mike and leving Jim sound. I fel
like if like with him, I feel like he's like
pretty adjacent to like all that.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh yeah, that would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He is probably the greatest ever lived.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I ride in the car with Alex quite often, and
that's like his entire place is just like Porter Robinson.
I'm like, yo, let's go for me. Honestly, I would
for some reason, I just like maybe no money. I
just I think he would be a fun person to
collab with because I don't know. I watched one interview
with him, and I'm like, he's homeschool, doesn't he I
(08:34):
looked it up and he was, and he just he's
very zandy, So like, yeah, I just feel like I
would have fun interacting with him. I feel like we
could get something that was really goofy and silly and
I would like that vibe. And also he's a rapper
and I feel like that would be kind of cool
introduction to our sound.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, and like one hundred gacks would be pretty good.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Oh my gosh, that would be something.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I'm not usually the one who's in the room writing.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Evan also says a hundred X yeah, okay cool. Tanya
from Toronto, Ontario says, where's the furthest away? You've been
from home and got recognized on the street?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh, Britain? Right?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It was probably Britain, because we who are you thinking of?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
When we were at the O two there was somebody
who's like, uh, he looks like a teenager.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
He's like wearing glasses, like, uh, you're gonna take a
picture of you guys. I'm like, yeah, sure, It's.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Like I thought he looked familiar when I was walking by,
and I was like, ain't no way. I recognized like
a British person, like we would never Yeah, it was
like somebody we been on the puppy tour.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, recognized in like Cologne or Luxembourg or something.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Did we I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
So the people that's in Britain, right, No, that's in
Germany and Cologne's and so on.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
The on the tour that we just did, we got
recognized several times by people who were fans of Natalie
Jane who had looked us up and seen us on
Instagram or whatever, like just as part of the tour
and so that was really cool. I thought that was awesome,
like getting recognized, like going up to the venue and
they're like, oh, are you the opening band. I'm like, heck, yeah,
we are. So that was really cool. But what's my
(10:22):
favorite story of those because that was technically further away,
But my favorite story is actually when we came back
from our tour with the Hannah and I think it
was twenty twenty three. We were going through the Dallas
airport because we had to lay over there to get
back to Nashville, and this dude we okay, we were
missing luggage and also missing our flight. At the same time,
we're like a band in the mic stands get to
our next flight. We missed the next flight. Anyways, we're
(10:45):
booking it through the airport and this dude comes up
to us and he's like, hey, are you these guys?
And he pulls up a Spotify page with us. I'm like,
we are those guys, and we're not even on tour here,
Like you have absolutely no reason to like recognize us
from like a tour that you're going to see, Like
we aren't on any tape. Gets he just recognized us
in Dallas and that that's my favorite because he had
no reason to recognize us.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Other than this cool and I was just like.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, we're like yeah, it was the most like it.
So I wanted to talk to that guy more, but
I'm like, hey, we're gonna miss our flight, and we did,
so I guess we could have talked to him longer
because we missed it anyway, But that was really cool.
It was not on a street though. Okay. Drew from
(11:30):
Griffin Georgia asks what's the most physically demanding part of performing?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You catch a lot of That's so true.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Actually, yeah, I wasn't sure if you guys have one,
but mine is just training Arc. It's literally training Arc
that song, I'm doing a freaking cardio like Craub Macgavretink's thing.
So I realized that to do. Okay, So, first of all,
for me, I'm moving around on the stage a lot.
So if there's a large stage, that takes the most
(12:01):
wind out of me, Like we played Summerfest in twenty
twenty three and that was a huge, huge stage, and
so just moving across isn't like a ton of work
by itself. But if you're moving quickly and you're singing
and you're doing all this stuff, it becomes pretty like
strenuous pretty quickly. It's a lot faster than you realize,
especially when you're trying to get good breath control. But
every night I come off of stage just drenched in sweat.
(12:23):
But training Arc took it to another level because these
stages were not as big as Summer Fest, which they
were still really big, but like, oh my gosh, every
night I'm doing like junk kicks and punches and all
this stuff, and all the whole time I have to
be like tense because like a lot of it is
like it's influenced by like bad karaoke, and I have
to like over sing the song a little bit to
(12:43):
be It's like if I don't be a little bit
cringe with the live performance, it just doesn't feel right
because it's just such a like sany song like that.
So yeah, that was very physically strenuous, and to get
ready for it, I would run the whole set each
song twice back in a row, like back to back,
so that like if I did get sick, I was
like physically ready to like handle just the exercise and
(13:06):
the breath control with everything. But that was that felt
like a cardio routine every time I got done doing that.
So yeah, it's a lot if you're moving around a lot. Okay,
skipping this one. Okay, well, I guess Okay. Cyndia from Evanston,
Illinois says, do you have a skincare routine? I do.
(13:28):
I just soap, toning pets and then lotion, and then
if I'm wearing makeup, I use coconut oil to remove everything.
I've tried getting like the cool coconut oil like actual
labeled as makeup removers things, and I find that it
works like the same as just using a giant tub
of coconut oil that you can get for very cheap.
(13:48):
Like yeah, so that's my skincare routine. Okay. Kitty from Cleveland,
Ohio asks who is your role model? Who do you
look up to the most of the music industry?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Samonyelo Sam and you of Yo Sweet.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
That's cool because we've worked with them before. Like I said,
we wrote Training arc with them and they're they're really
cool guys.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah. When we watched has Been Hotel, like every song that's.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Our boy, Oh yeah, boy, have Let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
We listened to like those pizza in the car and
like that's our boy Sam.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He's goaded, I.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Think for me personally, I really like Brendan Murray from
penteg At the Disco. Like his voice is phenomenal, he
has such a great range. And then Lizzie Hill also
just two phenomenal singers. Just I really like their style.
I like their vocal delivery and stuff. And then like
as far as musical influence, I really like their music
as well. So yeah, okay, Kaylee from Heresburg, Virginia asks,
(14:46):
is that you on the single artwork all decked out
like Lorier Croft. Yes. So we had a picture of
me from like a photo shoot from like twenty twenty
or something like that, where I was wearing a similar
ish outfit and we had an artist like interpolated to
be the Laura Croft thing. So like it's drawn, but
it's like it's also like it's a picture of me
(15:08):
that they like recreated and so it's pretty dope. I
like it a lot. It's funny because they changed up
the outfit a bit with like everything, and so I
had that outfit that I wore in the picture originally,
but it was different than the stuff that I did
in the social media content, which was emulating that single artwork,
if that makes sense. But I really like the artwork.
It's really dope. I look so much cooler than I
(15:31):
do in real life. And thank you for the lower
craft comparison. I am very flattered. That's that is awesome. Okay.
Pending from Columbus, Ohio asks how did you guys decide
where you want to go for tours? So currently we've
been doing a lot of opening for people, So it's
kind of just like wherever a good sound, Like wherever
(15:54):
we think somebody who has a good sound that's gonna
match us and have fans who are going to like
us is gonna be so like with an Aalie Jane tour,
we figured that Nalie Jane had a similar sound and
that her fans would be our fans, and that very
much was the case. You guys like, the response that
we have was phenomenal, and so she was touring over
in Europe. We decided to do that leg of the
tour and yeah, that was I mean, that was where
(16:16):
a thought process was and we've always wanted to see
mainland Europe, so it worked out really well. It was awesome.
So yeah, Tiffany from Staten Island, New York, says, do
you own an wait, do any of you own a
band of silver? I don't know if we have an
actual silver band, but I wear silver.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Like question that makes us realize how unsulfaware we are
and how like more self aware they are than us.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I don't own.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
One, and I doubt you own one, and I I
don't have an act.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I think silver would probably be fine. I'm alert. I'm allers,
just like the really cheap, crappy ones. Like I take
this off and my skin is like blue underneath, but
I've got these like fake rings that I wear, Like
all the jewelry that I wear is because I'm wearing
this crappy I'm wearing this crappy No, it's just it
like bleeds onto my skin and it's annoying and it's irritating.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Blue skin from silver.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well it is. It's like a fake silver. It's like
plated with something so like you can see that it's
like tarnishing. I don't know if you can actually see
this in the camera, like maybe if you zoom and
the quality is good enough. It's like more of a
copper at this point, but it used to be silver,
like Yeah, it's it's like painted on, so like this
is actually like this one looks more silver. It's just
all my jewelry is silver, but it tarnishes because none
(17:40):
of it's actually made out of silver. It's like plated
something or another. And it's pretty cheap because the rings
will like fly off when I'm on stage and I
just need a bunch of them so that my hands
look all sparkly. They don't have to pick a quality.
So yeah, that's a really good question, though I appreciate that.
I like the fact that he shakes up on the pun. Okay.
(18:02):
Vicky from San Diego, California asks, can you tell us
a little bit about your early years of starting out?
Did you travel far from far away from tours?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I mean we did like two US tours like way back.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, like way way back. I mean yeah, most of
most of the touring that we've done, even like the
early years were just US tours. We've gotten into the
UK and now European market in like the last two
or so years, but I mean before that it was
just like either regional US or just we haven't I
guess the I guess it's a question of like have
(18:37):
you basically, Yes, we've been outside of Nashville quite a lot.
Ear the early years. Starting out, man, we were a
lot more like pop punk influenced, I guess back then yeah,
and then yeah, and then like twenty twenty we kind
of ended up changing our sound with like hello, that's
kind of stuff. Yeah, we we used to have a
(18:58):
keyboards and a bassis and now they're they've gone off
to do their own thing, and like so, I mean, yeah,
we've we've changed a lot over time and it's now
more of like a streamline pop like eighties rock influence
kind of sound. But yeah, it was. We've also just
learned a lot. We now have a much more solid
like team together and like approach, Like we're a lot
(19:18):
more intentional with like how we do our releases and
stuff like that, and it's just just maturing and figuring
out how the industry works basically. I guess I'm doing
such a bad job of describing the early days, but yeah, okay,
all right. Race from Devenport, Florida asks what has been
(19:39):
the highlight or your favorite part of your career so far.
I have a really good answer for this, but what
are your guys thoughts? Po I was I was gonna
say something similar. It's the people who we've met. Yeah,
(20:00):
this guy like Tom Perry, Josh Weather, like, like, there's
so many awesome people who we've met, Like I know
that this industry is like people think of his like
very cutthrow and stuff like that, and it is it's
very competitive, but it's like we've met so many awesome petitions. Yeah, yeah,
but we've when you go on tour with people or
(20:22):
when you're doing like a songwriting session, like like you know,
the songwriting stuff that we've done a lot of times
will be going out to LA and then working with
the same people for multiple days in a row, so
you really get to like work with people and get
to know their personality and then you leave and you're like,
but I missed this guy. This guy was cool, Like
like yeah, like all the people that we've met on
the European to whur, I'm like, these people live so
(20:44):
far away, I'm not gonna see them for a long
time and they were really dope. So yeah, but it's
been but it's been really fun getting to meet them
and getting to see like you know, different points of
view and their lives and stuff like that, and like
a lot of the fans too, Like I meet people
and they have these crazy stories. I'm like, this is
so sick. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, Okay, here you go,
(21:11):
all right. Janelle from mac and Georgia asked, do you
have a Band of Silver poster hanging somewhere in your house?
If just where? It's not a poster, but we have
this big wooden thing that says band of Silver and
I think our aunt painted that for us as a
birthday present for one of us. And I don't know
where it is. We moved and so now I don't
know where it is. It's somewhere though it's probably in
(21:32):
the band room. That would be the most likely explanation,
but I could not tell you for sure.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, were too long.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah. The main thing that we have that's like Band
of Silver memorabilia is like we keep the lanyards that
we get from all the tours, and then if there
are posters, we have some of those, like but they're
not like Band of Silver ones. It'll be like a
meg Meyer's poster or something. But we're on the ticket.
So yeah, has there ever? Okay? Amy from Knoxville, Tennessee asked,
has there any has there ever been any one that's
(22:00):
better than Ezra? I'm pretty sure there has been. Actually,
I think.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Mike, I know what better than Ora is? I just
can't remember.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Can you look at their band?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Okay? Yeah, anyone ever been anyone better than?

want I want them to come to the States so
bad that I'm in the States. I'm like, I do stuff.
It reminds me like, oh, they would have fun with this.

Yeah, it was like it was like we're in LA
and it's like, oh, this is going on, like while

a lot of fun. I really liked their sound, like yeah,
I like the style and a lot of like the
vibes like they got so many of these bands have
like such vibe heavy songs, especially Espa. They're probably my
(24:09):
favorite group right now. Yeah, they've just got cool vibes
like the serif and also they've got a lot of
cool stuff. But yeah, there's a lot of really good
K pop stuff out there, like oh that that would
be that was such Okay, we gotta tell the story. Okay,
there was there's an artist in Tayment, K pop artist,
(24:30):
Like if you're asking this question, you probably know. But anyways,
we're huge fans and he's got like these the coolest
dances in K pop, Like they tell the stories so
well and they're so cool. Anyways, there we were parked
outside of this arena in Germany because the bus needed
power and so this was the area where the promoter
had gotten his power, which was awesome, Like it was
(24:51):
such a cool setup and I really appreciated the promoter
for doing this. And this other truck came up like
as we were leaving because they needed that spot, and
we ended up talking to them for a little bit
and they were on tour with Tayman, who was gonna
be playing literally right next to we were playing in France,
and we weren't expecting this. We were just like, oh, okay,
we're just kind of crossing paths here.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yeah, So we didn't get his contact info, but it
would have been so cool to have gotten tickets to
go to that Taman concert that was happening literally right
next to where we were playing, because like we kept
walking up and down like through Paris to get to stuff,
and you saw this huge line of K pop fans
and they.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Had all like you know, they were like decked out.
They were like Dressedice Tayman from some of the videos
and stuff, and like it was just this event and
I was like, I want to go see this guy.
Life so bad. He's right there, we're not doing anything
because our sets over. I'm like, ah, because yeah, it
was so weird. And we had talked to literally some
of his like crew people, and I was like, why
(25:48):
did we not ask them to get tickets to the show,
But we didn't know he would be in France because
we met them in Berlin. It was literally the next day.
That was so weird. I hope we crossed paths again.
That'd be awesome. But yeah, Okay. Ariel from Frederick, Virginia
asks favorite Christmas song? Will you ever do a Christmas album?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Not a whole album?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I don't know, no, who knows. Maybe when we're like seventy,
we'll do a Christmas album. I have no desire to currently,
but like it's also March, so no way to say April,
isn't it? Okay? I have noticed I don't know, but
my favorite Christmas song, though there are some bangers. These
Christmas songs and minor keys go really really hard. I
love Carol the Bells. That's probably my old time favorite one.
(26:34):
And then Silent Night is also really nice.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
And there is Christmas is You remix, but it was Spottoon.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yes, that one's fantastic, Like ironically, that one's so good.
It sounds like Green Day but with squid noises. It's
so good. Okay. Alice from Syracuse, New York ask if
you could book it, what is your dream festival line up?
M do you want me to go first? This is
(27:04):
a full festival. All of our answers are going on
the same ticket. Okay, So lately I've been listening to
so much Muse. I would love depeche Mode panic at
the Disco Marina, Like we just get some random AK
pop acts in there, like we got Espa Tatment could
show up. Imagine Dragons for sure.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah, we need Sewers Solved also known as Juco.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, I think you didn't fight Porter Robinson.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I'd probably get Tristam Dang.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
We need more pop punk stuff. We gotta go like
Warm Store like Avril Ben full up Boy my Chemical
Romance and then like the Beach Boys, Ozzy Osborn and
Green Day. Yeah just yes, yes, yes, yes, Gorilla, Oh
(28:05):
that would be sick.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Went under. Uh yeah that would mister Bast, mister Beast. Yes,
Stand of Silver obviously, that would be so much fun. Okay,
(28:33):
Aria from New York City, s do you recall the
first time you saw somebody create art of you and
how did it make you feel? So we haven't had
like fan art or whatever, but we had people do
band of Silver posters. But on the European tour we
did we had several fans give us little bracelets, like
little handmade bracelets, and a lot of them were for
(28:54):
Nola Jane. They had like ava or something like that
on there. But this this some some fans handed me
them while I was on stage and I kind of
just like tossed them onto the floor tom and I
was like, oh, okay, these are just like bracelets that
she had on whatever. And then I look at them
after the show and I'm like these say one of
them said, Everyone said Alex and one said Evan. I
was like, these are ours, Like this person made this
(29:15):
stuff for us. I was like, yeah, you like blew
my mind. I like was having trouble processing it. I
was like, this is for us. They didn't just come
here for an allergy, and they came.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Here for us.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
This is so cool. Yeah it was. That was so dope,
Like I love that so much. Thank you whoever did
that for us. That was you were a real one
for that. It was so cool. Okay. Stephanie from Savannah
asked if you had to have a theme song play
whenever you entered a room, what would it be and why?
Mmmm yes, no, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
If I say something no, yeah, oh my gosh, but
you don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And Evan, Evan, do you have one?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I don't know a theme song when you enter the room.
That's like, oh and recent I don't know, just like
have you seen death? Like light's theme or like what
would be your theme if you were a cinematic character. Basically,
I don't know. I'm not the loud one.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I don't have like a whole theme song play when
I walk in. Evin has like such an aura though,
what would Evan's p.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I'm trying to think I kind of know the aura,
but I just like.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Mm hmm, you can come back to Evan, Oh, wait here,
you can hold this.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Maybe criminal by fool but that's some one's not very famous.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Oh I don't. I don't even know that one.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
But oh it's super good. Maybe i'm speaking. It is
a lot more famous than I think it is.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
But I I actually have no idea how famous it is,
and it would be probably criminal by fool ed if
you can't.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Okay, nice, thank you everyone for me. I think I
think I would probably be Gongham style because I think,
at least among my friends, like I have a playlist
that I played whenever our carpool people, it's always Gongham style,
and like I'll pull up next to people, impress the
first song on that playlist and just blast it full,
like full blast of my car speakers with the windows down.
(31:23):
It's dope. I love it just for the memes. I
feel like I feel like it does kind of summarize
my vibe. What's yours? Oh yours is criminal? Oh? I
thought you're saying that for Evan. Okay, I don't know.
I think one we need to we do need to
think of one. I feel like it would be something
(31:45):
that's like more that's pretty good, that's not quite it.
I feel like it would be something with like a
really hard bass drop at some point like the yeah no,
not that a night Quary mixes something that's like really chilling,
then the base just drops. It's like that's like Evan's fife.
(32:08):
He's like really mellow and then he just has like
the best like one liners you've ever heard. Like I
would need to think about this more prepared flight. I'm
not sure I would need to think about it, but yeah, okay.
Jenna from Jacksonville, Florida says, what is something that you
(32:30):
were scared of as a kid and that you realize
now isn't so scary? Like literally nothing, I feel like death,
which is kind of like a weird one, but it's
like you just go, like I used to be so
scared of death, and then you just go your life
and you just kind of get desensitized to it, Like
at least death for me personally, like me, dying does
(32:51):
not scare me any mores and like it hasn't happened yet.
This is just a this is a problem for futureaver.
I don't have to worry about that right now, and
if I do, then just like it happens. But I
don't even know when it's gonna happen. So it's just
like not even the problem like I've taken that sits
on a lot of things. Honestly, it's very helpful.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
More things like.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Now it's like I didn't really have a lot of
like irrational fears as a kid. It's like you're like
scared of like spiders and whatever. But it's like now
now we have like random stuff like they have like
food allergies where if they get random stuff from restaurants
that has some random thing.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
That'll like have some problems the next few days.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah, And it's like I was like so careful not
to get hurt as a kid, and I got hurt
all the time, and then I stopped being careful and
I got hurt way less.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Literally, he was always the one who's like, hey, alex Evan,
this does Alexaber, this doesn't seem like a very good idea.
Maybe we shouldn't do this, and Alexider were like, no,
it'll be fine, and then like we did not mean
to hurt Evan, but Evan just always ended up getting hurt.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Were on her like really badly. Was like literally nobody's fault.
It's like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
It would be like we would do something and like
all of us would do it repeatedly, and then Evan
would be the one who just like got unlucky, got
her Like Alex and I would do something like twenty
times and it would just like we get hurt. It
was so stupid.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm lucky to be walking. I flashed
it my back in three spots.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I know.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah, I felt I don't have any of it.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I feel so bout that.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Yeah, and that was that was so stupid. We had
built up this giant thing of like stuffed animals underneath
this and like stuffed animals and pillows underneath this bunk bed,
and then we would just jump onto it. And so
Alex and I and Evan just kept jumping onto it
and everybody's fine. Everybody's fine, everybody's fine. Evan jumps onto it.
It just like it's in crippling pain and we're just like,
oh crap, what have we done? So yeah, yeah, but no,
(34:54):
now you get injured less, I think, so, yeah, that's
that's at least good. Thanks again for watching her Ask
Anything chat with Romeo from Asking Anything Live. Our new
song is called Training Arc and we really hope to
see you guys on the road soon. Thank you to
everybody who submitted stuff. These were really really fun. I
had a great time answering these and yeah, so yeah,
thank you guys so much. Bye all, bio
Where a Band of Silver and you're watching our most
Requested Ask Anything live chat. Our new song is called
Training Arc And thank you so much to Romeo and
iHeartRadio for having us on the show. And thank you
to everybody who submitted questions. I've looked through these already
and they are a lot of fun. So I'm really
excited to get into answering some of these. Okay, Gillian
from Saint Louis, Missouri asks where are you from? And
(00:20):
how do you pronounce your full name with the proper
hometown accent.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
We're from Nashville, Tennessee, kind of south of that in
like the just pronounced its silver nagel.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, like we're band of Silver, and we all have
native Nashvillian accents, like we've grown up here, like they
were born here. I'm technically from Indiana, but I've lived
here since I was two. But I mean, if you
really want a really butchered Southern accent, I'm a ver
silvernagel from a Band of Silver. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Everbody talks like that, talks like that.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Tom or bus driver in England's British accent Exactly, it's
a bad American accent. Sweet, Okay, Tiffany from Des Moines, Iowa, says,
do you have any shows coming up? We actually just
got off of a tour, like I said, all across
the Europe. Yeah, all across Europe, and so we just
(01:19):
had twelve shows and we are very content to just
be chilling a little bit. But we're looking at doing
some shows in the summer and fall hopefully, so keep
an eye out for that. Like, nothing sid in Stone yet,
but we really do hope to be on the road
a lot more this year. So we'll let you know
fall us on Bands in Town or Instagram if you
want to have more updates on that. Then Juanna from Lexington,
(01:42):
South Carolina asked how did training Art come together? So
I had we had just gone off the tour with
Ava Max that we did in twenty twenty three, and
we were writing with Sam and Yoav from The Living Tombstone,
and I had the idea that well, first of all,
they have AMAX tour was on larger stages than we
had ever played before. So I would be doing my
(02:05):
performance and I would start getting winded because I had
to move across these big old stages and so I
was like, crap, I've got to get my cardio up
because I can't be getting winded in the middle of
a performance. So I was hitting the gym, I was
hitting the training like I was hitting the treadmill a
lot specifically, and I was actually excited to do cardio,
which is absolutely insane, And so I took it to
(02:27):
Sam Yoov to be like, Okay, I want to do
this with the concept of training arc like from an
anime where the main character has like get stronger, defeat
the big bet or whatever, and so Alex can probably
explain a little bit more. How like the instrumentals came together.
I think we were most.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I think, you know, I'm just kind of noodled and
got some pretty old chords.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That's true. Yeah, I remember being inspired by like a
lot of like the eighties training montage type songs, like
those like fun like jazzer sized kind of video type songs.
But yeah, it was those guys were like the perfect
people to write this with because they're really they are.
I like, I had that idea and I was like,
we're taking this to Sam in you off because we've
written with them before, and I was like, there's such nerds,
(03:07):
it's gonna be perfect. So yeah, okay, I don't know
how to pronounce this name. No Irouana, I guess I
ownA from Winnipeg, Manitoba, says. Do you speak any other
languages besides English?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I mean, I'm pretty okay in Japanese. I know about
a thousand words. She was godd a Latin.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Oh no, okay, No, I couldn't speak it. Though nobody
speaks Latin, you've actually had a conversation with people in Japanese.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Evan understands Latin. She took the class to really well
in it and refuses to accept it. She just can't
speak it very well, she says, but she also doesn't try,
so I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I one time conversed with a Spanish speaker by speaking
Latin but adding a like like Latin American accent to it,
and it worked. That's the extent of it. You no,
not anymore. That was a long time ago. You guys
are bad. No, you guys actually trained on Japanese. I
haven't used Latin in forever. What was fun is I
(04:15):
could I started being able to read German when we
were on tour. Because if you just speak the words
then they sound kind of like stuff in English and
then if you learn a few words, then you can
kind of like smush them together, and so like soft
is sauce or no, soft is not sauce, it's juice,
and so zitron is lemon, and so zitron soft is
lemon juice. And it's great. I'm probably butchering because I
(04:37):
don't know how to speak the language, but that was
really fun translating stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Whatever language the speak and spatzoon this is true.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yes, actually yeah, I can confirm. Okay, Sky from Lansing,
Michigan says, how many songs do you think you've written
in your life? A lot? I can actually how many?
One hundred?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Ish?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay, I'm going to just look at the ones that
are released and the ones that I know exists. So
we five eight, seventy nine. I'm pretty sure the ones
that are in our catalog right now it's close to
forty or fifty, and then they're more coming out next year.
But actually, yeah, one hundreds probably accurate because some of
them I think it's like eighty.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
We had like thirty eight before going to MIC and
it's about like forty or.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Something, right, well, yeah, it would be fifty catalog, right,
and then we did about yeah, but he's and then
we have more some stuff with Skyler that we didn't
really release with, and then.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It would be actually closer to one hundred.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And we also did some just stuff with like other
songwriters that I don't think you were like therefore, yeah,
that's actually wild writers in Tennessee. And then some stuff
that they haven't gone too in like La yet.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Dang. Yeah, I guess it's a lot. So yeah, Okay,
Maddie from London, Ohio, that's a letdown. I'm sorry this
isn't a question, but I just wanted to tell you
I like your music. Thank you, So Maddie appreciate that. Yeah,
you get a pass from being from Ohio. Marina from
(06:20):
what the heck Naca Joe, Dexas, Texas. Marina from Texas
asked who's been kicked out of the band the most.
None of us have beened. We chilling. We're siblings. Yeah, Okay.
Rose from Tampa, Florida asks, is there a reason you
started in music? Is the reason you started in music
(06:40):
still the same reason you're in music today? For me personally,
it's not so I started the band. I didn't. I
never saw this actually being a career. I wanted to
go into the sciences when I was in high school,
but they had been writing music on their own and
they did the instrumentals, and then I started learning singing
because I started helping them with lyrics because that's what
they struggle with, and so I just kind of did
(07:01):
that to like help them out with like this fun
hobby that I was getting into. But then it ended
up becoming like a major source of like fulfillment and
drive and ambition for me once we started taking it
seriously as like a career, and so I actually value
it a lot more now than I did when I started.
And so I think that's pretty cool because there's I've
also learned a lot of other skills from it, like
(07:23):
talking to people, performing, editing, like all this kind of
stuff has just come out of it, and it's really
it's been a really fun ride to be on. So yeah,
do you guys want to move on from that? Then sure? Okay,
cool okay. Mia from Houston, Texas asks if you could
(07:44):
collaborate with any artist right now on a song, who
would you choose and why? Uh?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I knew he's in Georgia.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I think he I think we could get like a
really good sound with him, like based off of what
we've done with Mike and leving Jim sound. I fel
like if like with him, I feel like he's like
pretty adjacent to like all that.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh yeah, that would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He is probably the greatest ever lived.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I ride in the car with Alex quite often, and
that's like his entire place is just like Porter Robinson.
I'm like, yo, let's go for me. Honestly, I would
for some reason, I just like maybe no money. I
just I think he would be a fun person to
collab with because I don't know. I watched one interview
with him, and I'm like, he's homeschool, doesn't he I
(08:34):
looked it up and he was, and he just he's
very zandy, So like, yeah, I just feel like I
would have fun interacting with him. I feel like we
could get something that was really goofy and silly and
I would like that vibe. And also he's a rapper
and I feel like that would be kind of cool
introduction to our sound.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, and like one hundred gacks would be pretty good.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Oh my gosh, that would be something.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I'm not usually the one who's in the room writing.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Evan also says a hundred X yeah, okay cool. Tanya
from Toronto, Ontario says, where's the furthest away? You've been
from home and got recognized on the street?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh, Britain? Right?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It was probably Britain, because we who are you thinking of?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
When we were at the O two there was somebody
who's like, uh, he looks like a teenager.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
He's like wearing glasses, like, uh, you're gonna take a
picture of you guys. I'm like, yeah, sure, It's.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Like I thought he looked familiar when I was walking by,
and I was like, ain't no way. I recognized like
a British person, like we would never Yeah, it was
like somebody we been on the puppy tour.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, recognized in like Cologne or Luxembourg or something.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Did we I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
So the people that's in Britain, right, No, that's in
Germany and Cologne's and so on.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
The on the tour that we just did, we got
recognized several times by people who were fans of Natalie
Jane who had looked us up and seen us on
Instagram or whatever, like just as part of the tour
and so that was really cool. I thought that was awesome,
like getting recognized, like going up to the venue and
they're like, oh, are you the opening band. I'm like, heck, yeah,
we are. So that was really cool. But what's my
(10:22):
favorite story of those because that was technically further away,
But my favorite story is actually when we came back
from our tour with the Hannah and I think it
was twenty twenty three. We were going through the Dallas
airport because we had to lay over there to get
back to Nashville, and this dude we okay, we were
missing luggage and also missing our flight. At the same time,
we're like a band in the mic stands get to
our next flight. We missed the next flight. Anyways, we're
(10:45):
booking it through the airport and this dude comes up
to us and he's like, hey, are you these guys?
And he pulls up a Spotify page with us. I'm like,
we are those guys, and we're not even on tour here,
Like you have absolutely no reason to like recognize us
from like a tour that you're going to see, Like
we aren't on any tape. Gets he just recognized us
in Dallas and that that's my favorite because he had
no reason to recognize us.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Other than this cool and I was just like.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, we're like yeah, it was the most like it.
So I wanted to talk to that guy more, but
I'm like, hey, we're gonna miss our flight, and we did,
so I guess we could have talked to him longer
because we missed it anyway, But that was really cool.
It was not on a street though. Okay. Drew from
(11:30):
Griffin Georgia asks what's the most physically demanding part of performing?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You catch a lot of That's so true.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Actually, yeah, I wasn't sure if you guys have one,
but mine is just training Arc. It's literally training Arc
that song, I'm doing a freaking cardio like Craub Macgavretink's thing.
So I realized that to do. Okay, So, first of all,
for me, I'm moving around on the stage a lot.
So if there's a large stage, that takes the most
(12:01):
wind out of me, Like we played Summerfest in twenty
twenty three and that was a huge, huge stage, and
so just moving across isn't like a ton of work
by itself. But if you're moving quickly and you're singing
and you're doing all this stuff, it becomes pretty like
strenuous pretty quickly. It's a lot faster than you realize,
especially when you're trying to get good breath control. But
every night I come off of stage just drenched in sweat.
(12:23):
But training Arc took it to another level because these
stages were not as big as Summer Fest, which they
were still really big, but like, oh my gosh, every
night I'm doing like junk kicks and punches and all
this stuff, and all the whole time I have to
be like tense because like a lot of it is
like it's influenced by like bad karaoke, and I have
to like over sing the song a little bit to
(12:43):
be It's like if I don't be a little bit
cringe with the live performance, it just doesn't feel right
because it's just such a like sany song like that.
So yeah, that was very physically strenuous, and to get
ready for it, I would run the whole set each
song twice back in a row, like back to back,
so that like if I did get sick, I was
like physically ready to like handle just the exercise and
(13:06):
the breath control with everything. But that was that felt
like a cardio routine every time I got done doing that.
So yeah, it's a lot if you're moving around a lot. Okay,
skipping this one. Okay, well, I guess Okay. Cyndia from Evanston,
Illinois says, do you have a skincare routine? I do.
(13:28):
I just soap, toning pets and then lotion, and then
if I'm wearing makeup, I use coconut oil to remove everything.
I've tried getting like the cool coconut oil like actual
labeled as makeup removers things, and I find that it
works like the same as just using a giant tub
of coconut oil that you can get for very cheap.
(13:48):
Like yeah, so that's my skincare routine. Okay. Kitty from Cleveland,
Ohio asks who is your role model? Who do you
look up to the most of the music industry?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Samonyelo Sam and you of Yo Sweet.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
That's cool because we've worked with them before. Like I said,
we wrote Training arc with them and they're they're really
cool guys.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah. When we watched has Been Hotel, like every song that's.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Our boy, Oh yeah, boy, have Let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
We listened to like those pizza in the car and
like that's our boy Sam.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He's goaded, I.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Think for me personally, I really like Brendan Murray from
penteg At the Disco. Like his voice is phenomenal, he
has such a great range. And then Lizzie Hill also
just two phenomenal singers. Just I really like their style.
I like their vocal delivery and stuff. And then like
as far as musical influence, I really like their music
as well. So yeah, okay, Kaylee from Heresburg, Virginia asks,
(14:46):
is that you on the single artwork all decked out
like Lorier Croft. Yes. So we had a picture of
me from like a photo shoot from like twenty twenty
or something like that, where I was wearing a similar
ish outfit and we had an artist like interpolated to
be the Laura Croft thing. So like it's drawn, but
it's like it's also like it's a picture of me
(15:08):
that they like recreated and so it's pretty dope. I
like it a lot. It's funny because they changed up
the outfit a bit with like everything, and so I
had that outfit that I wore in the picture originally,
but it was different than the stuff that I did
in the social media content, which was emulating that single artwork,
if that makes sense. But I really like the artwork.
It's really dope. I look so much cooler than I
(15:31):
do in real life. And thank you for the lower
craft comparison. I am very flattered. That's that is awesome. Okay.
Pending from Columbus, Ohio asks how did you guys decide
where you want to go for tours? So currently we've
been doing a lot of opening for people, So it's
kind of just like wherever a good sound, Like wherever
(15:54):
we think somebody who has a good sound that's gonna
match us and have fans who are going to like
us is gonna be so like with an Aalie Jane tour,
we figured that Nalie Jane had a similar sound and
that her fans would be our fans, and that very
much was the case. You guys like, the response that
we have was phenomenal, and so she was touring over
in Europe. We decided to do that leg of the
tour and yeah, that was I mean, that was where
(16:16):
a thought process was and we've always wanted to see
mainland Europe, so it worked out really well. It was awesome.
So yeah, Tiffany from Staten Island, New York, says, do
you own an wait, do any of you own a
band of silver? I don't know if we have an
actual silver band, but I wear silver.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Like question that makes us realize how unsulfaware we are
and how like more self aware they are than us.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I don't own.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
One, and I doubt you own one, and I I
don't have an act.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I think silver would probably be fine. I'm alert. I'm allers,
just like the really cheap, crappy ones. Like I take
this off and my skin is like blue underneath, but
I've got these like fake rings that I wear, Like
all the jewelry that I wear is because I'm wearing
this crappy I'm wearing this crappy No, it's just it
like bleeds onto my skin and it's annoying and it's irritating.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Blue skin from silver.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well it is. It's like a fake silver. It's like
plated with something so like you can see that it's
like tarnishing. I don't know if you can actually see
this in the camera, like maybe if you zoom and
the quality is good enough. It's like more of a
copper at this point, but it used to be silver,
like Yeah, it's it's like painted on, so like this
is actually like this one looks more silver. It's just
all my jewelry is silver, but it tarnishes because none
(17:40):
of it's actually made out of silver. It's like plated
something or another. And it's pretty cheap because the rings
will like fly off when I'm on stage and I
just need a bunch of them so that my hands
look all sparkly. They don't have to pick a quality.
So yeah, that's a really good question, though I appreciate that.
I like the fact that he shakes up on the pun. Okay.
(18:02):
Vicky from San Diego, California asks, can you tell us
a little bit about your early years of starting out?
Did you travel far from far away from tours?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I mean we did like two US tours like way back.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, like way way back. I mean yeah, most of
most of the touring that we've done, even like the
early years were just US tours. We've gotten into the
UK and now European market in like the last two
or so years, but I mean before that it was
just like either regional US or just we haven't I
guess the I guess it's a question of like have
(18:37):
you basically, Yes, we've been outside of Nashville quite a lot.
Ear the early years. Starting out, man, we were a
lot more like pop punk influenced, I guess back then yeah,
and then yeah, and then like twenty twenty we kind
of ended up changing our sound with like hello, that's
kind of stuff. Yeah, we we used to have a
(18:58):
keyboards and a bassis and now they're they've gone off
to do their own thing, and like so, I mean, yeah,
we've we've changed a lot over time and it's now
more of like a streamline pop like eighties rock influence
kind of sound. But yeah, it was. We've also just
learned a lot. We now have a much more solid
like team together and like approach, Like we're a lot
(19:18):
more intentional with like how we do our releases and
stuff like that, and it's just just maturing and figuring
out how the industry works basically. I guess I'm doing
such a bad job of describing the early days, but yeah, okay,
all right. Race from Devenport, Florida asks what has been
(19:39):
the highlight or your favorite part of your career so far.
I have a really good answer for this, but what
are your guys thoughts? Po I was I was gonna
say something similar. It's the people who we've met. Yeah,
(20:00):
this guy like Tom Perry, Josh Weather, like, like, there's
so many awesome people who we've met, Like I know
that this industry is like people think of his like
very cutthrow and stuff like that, and it is it's
very competitive, but it's like we've met so many awesome petitions. Yeah, yeah,
but we've when you go on tour with people or
(20:22):
when you're doing like a songwriting session, like like you know,
the songwriting stuff that we've done a lot of times
will be going out to LA and then working with
the same people for multiple days in a row, so
you really get to like work with people and get
to know their personality and then you leave and you're like,
but I missed this guy. This guy was cool, Like
like yeah, like all the people that we've met on
the European to whur, I'm like, these people live so
(20:44):
far away, I'm not gonna see them for a long
time and they were really dope. So yeah, but it's
been but it's been really fun getting to meet them
and getting to see like you know, different points of
view and their lives and stuff like that, and like
a lot of the fans too, Like I meet people
and they have these crazy stories. I'm like, this is
so sick. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, Okay, here you go,
(21:11):
all right. Janelle from mac and Georgia asked, do you
have a Band of Silver poster hanging somewhere in your house?
If just where? It's not a poster, but we have
this big wooden thing that says band of Silver and
I think our aunt painted that for us as a
birthday present for one of us. And I don't know
where it is. We moved and so now I don't
know where it is. It's somewhere though it's probably in
(21:32):
the band room. That would be the most likely explanation,
but I could not tell you for sure.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, were too long.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah. The main thing that we have that's like Band
of Silver memorabilia is like we keep the lanyards that
we get from all the tours, and then if there
are posters, we have some of those, like but they're
not like Band of Silver ones. It'll be like a
meg Meyer's poster or something. But we're on the ticket.
So yeah, has there ever? Okay? Amy from Knoxville, Tennessee asked,
has there any has there ever been any one that's
(22:00):
better than Ezra? I'm pretty sure there has been. Actually,
I think.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Mike, I know what better than Ora is? I just
can't remember.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Can you look at their band?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Okay? Yeah, anyone ever been anyone better than?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, better than Ezra? Let's go.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
All right, who's better than everyone? Saw me?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
True? True? Okay? Maria from Los Angeles, California, ask if
you could hug someone right now, who would it be?
The people from the European our boys Tom and Perry
and Dawes like they were awesome? Like I'm like, I
want I want them to come to the States so
bad that I'm in the States. I'm like, I do stuff.
It reminds me like, oh, they would have fun with this.
I'm like, no, they're not here right now.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Someone probably be my friend Connie right now.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
She does need to hug Yeah, yeah she does.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I don't know, you know, honorable honorable mention As my
cat tumbles, she's outside. Sure, al right, here we go.
Caitlin from Dingman's Theory, Pennsylvania, Dingmon's Fury, What the heck
(23:12):
Pennsylvania asks, are you guys secret K pop fans? Be honest?
We're not we're not secret K pop fans. We're like
I have no issue saying I love K pop. Like
we've been to several like shows, festival stuff like that,
like I think you got you've been to like you
saw a Strea Kids live. We saw twice live.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Es There's one I forgot which one of us. You
weren't there for it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's it's.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, we went to kkon. We got lucky with that
because it was just going on when we were happened
to be like riding in l A.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah, it was like it was like we're in LA
and it's like, oh, this is going on, like while
you're in l A and when you have an off
there like heck, yeah let's go. So yeah, it's been
a lot of fun. I really liked their sound, like yeah,
I like the style and a lot of like the
vibes like they got so many of these bands have
like such vibe heavy songs, especially Espa. They're probably my
(24:09):
favorite group right now. Yeah, they've just got cool vibes
like the serif and also they've got a lot of
cool stuff. But yeah, there's a lot of really good
K pop stuff out there, like oh that that would
be that was such Okay, we gotta tell the story. Okay,
there was there's an artist in Tayment, K pop artist,
(24:30):
Like if you're asking this question, you probably know. But anyways,
we're huge fans and he's got like these the coolest
dances in K pop, Like they tell the stories so
well and they're so cool. Anyways, there we were parked
outside of this arena in Germany because the bus needed
power and so this was the area where the promoter
had gotten his power, which was awesome, Like it was
(24:51):
such a cool setup and I really appreciated the promoter
for doing this. And this other truck came up like
as we were leaving because they needed that spot, and
we ended up talking to them for a little bit
and they were on tour with Tayman, who was gonna
be playing literally right next to we were playing in France,
and we weren't expecting this. We were just like, oh, okay,
we're just kind of crossing paths here.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yeah, So we didn't get his contact info, but it
would have been so cool to have gotten tickets to
go to that Taman concert that was happening literally right
next to where we were playing, because like we kept
walking up and down like through Paris to get to stuff,
and you saw this huge line of K pop fans
and they.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Had all like you know, they were like decked out.
They were like Dressedice Tayman from some of the videos
and stuff, and like it was just this event and
I was like, I want to go see this guy.
Life so bad. He's right there, we're not doing anything
because our sets over. I'm like, ah, because yeah, it
was so weird. And we had talked to literally some
of his like crew people, and I was like, why
(25:48):
did we not ask them to get tickets to the show,
But we didn't know he would be in France because
we met them in Berlin. It was literally the next day.
That was so weird. I hope we crossed paths again.
That'd be awesome. But yeah, Okay. Ariel from Frederick, Virginia
asks favorite Christmas song? Will you ever do a Christmas album?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Not a whole album?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I don't know, no, who knows. Maybe when we're like seventy,
we'll do a Christmas album. I have no desire to currently,
but like it's also March, so no way to say April,
isn't it? Okay? I have noticed I don't know, but
my favorite Christmas song, though there are some bangers. These
Christmas songs and minor keys go really really hard. I
love Carol the Bells. That's probably my old time favorite one.
(26:34):
And then Silent Night is also really nice.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
And there is Christmas is You remix, but it was Spottoon.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yes, that one's fantastic, Like ironically, that one's so good.
It sounds like Green Day but with squid noises. It's
so good. Okay. Alice from Syracuse, New York ask if
you could book it, what is your dream festival line up?
M do you want me to go first? This is
(27:04):
a full festival. All of our answers are going on
the same ticket. Okay, So lately I've been listening to
so much Muse. I would love depeche Mode panic at
the Disco Marina, Like we just get some random AK
pop acts in there, like we got Espa Tatment could
show up. Imagine Dragons for sure.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah, we need Sewers Solved also known as Juco.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, I think you didn't fight Porter Robinson.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I'd probably get Tristam Dang.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
We need more pop punk stuff. We gotta go like
Warm Store like Avril Ben full up Boy my Chemical
Romance and then like the Beach Boys, Ozzy Osborn and
Green Day. Yeah just yes, yes, yes, yes, Gorilla, Oh
(28:05):
that would be sick.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Went under. Uh yeah that would mister Bast, mister Beast. Yes,
Stand of Silver obviously, that would be so much fun. Okay,
(28:33):
Aria from New York City, s do you recall the
first time you saw somebody create art of you and
how did it make you feel? So we haven't had
like fan art or whatever, but we had people do
band of Silver posters. But on the European tour we
did we had several fans give us little bracelets, like
little handmade bracelets, and a lot of them were for
(28:54):
Nola Jane. They had like ava or something like that
on there. But this this some some fans handed me
them while I was on stage and I kind of
just like tossed them onto the floor tom and I
was like, oh, okay, these are just like bracelets that
she had on whatever. And then I look at them
after the show and I'm like these say one of
them said, Everyone said Alex and one said Evan. I
was like, these are ours, Like this person made this
(29:15):
stuff for us. I was like, yeah, you like blew
my mind. I like was having trouble processing it. I
was like, this is for us. They didn't just come
here for an allergy, and they came.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Here for us.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
This is so cool. Yeah it was. That was so dope,
Like I love that so much. Thank you whoever did
that for us. That was you were a real one
for that. It was so cool. Okay. Stephanie from Savannah
asked if you had to have a theme song play
whenever you entered a room, what would it be and why?
Mmmm yes, no, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
If I say something no, yeah, oh my gosh, but
you don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And Evan, Evan, do you have one?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I don't know a theme song when you enter the room.
That's like, oh and recent I don't know, just like
have you seen death? Like light's theme or like what
would be your theme if you were a cinematic character. Basically,
I don't know. I'm not the loud one.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I don't have like a whole theme song play when
I walk in. Evin has like such an aura though,
what would Evan's p.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I'm trying to think I kind of know the aura,
but I just like.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Mm hmm, you can come back to Evan, Oh, wait here,
you can hold this.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Maybe criminal by fool but that's some one's not very famous.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Oh I don't. I don't even know that one.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
But oh it's super good. Maybe i'm speaking. It is
a lot more famous than I think it is.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
But I I actually have no idea how famous it is,
and it would be probably criminal by fool ed if
you can't.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Okay, nice, thank you everyone for me. I think I
think I would probably be Gongham style because I think,
at least among my friends, like I have a playlist
that I played whenever our carpool people, it's always Gongham style,
and like I'll pull up next to people, impress the
first song on that playlist and just blast it full,
like full blast of my car speakers with the windows down.
(31:23):
It's dope. I love it just for the memes. I
feel like I feel like it does kind of summarize
my vibe. What's yours? Oh yours is criminal? Oh? I
thought you're saying that for Evan. Okay, I don't know.
I think one we need to we do need to
think of one. I feel like it would be something
(31:45):
that's like more that's pretty good, that's not quite it.
I feel like it would be something with like a
really hard bass drop at some point like the yeah no,
not that a night Quary mixes something that's like really chilling,
then the base just drops. It's like that's like Evan's fife.
(32:08):
He's like really mellow and then he just has like
the best like one liners you've ever heard. Like I
would need to think about this more prepared flight. I'm
not sure I would need to think about it, but yeah, okay.
Jenna from Jacksonville, Florida says, what is something that you
(32:30):
were scared of as a kid and that you realize
now isn't so scary? Like literally nothing, I feel like death,
which is kind of like a weird one, but it's
like you just go, like I used to be so
scared of death, and then you just go your life
and you just kind of get desensitized to it, Like
at least death for me personally, like me, dying does
(32:51):
not scare me any mores and like it hasn't happened yet.
This is just a this is a problem for futureaver.
I don't have to worry about that right now, and
if I do, then just like it happens. But I
don't even know when it's gonna happen. So it's just
like not even the problem like I've taken that sits
on a lot of things. Honestly, it's very helpful.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
More things like.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Now it's like I didn't really have a lot of
like irrational fears as a kid. It's like you're like
scared of like spiders and whatever. But it's like now
now we have like random stuff like they have like
food allergies where if they get random stuff from restaurants
that has some random thing.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
That'll like have some problems the next few days.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah, And it's like I was like so careful not
to get hurt as a kid, and I got hurt
all the time, and then I stopped being careful and
I got hurt way less.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Literally, he was always the one who's like, hey, alex Evan,
this does Alexaber, this doesn't seem like a very good idea.
Maybe we shouldn't do this, and Alexider were like, no,
it'll be fine, and then like we did not mean
to hurt Evan, but Evan just always ended up getting hurt.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Were on her like really badly. Was like literally nobody's fault.
It's like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
It would be like we would do something and like
all of us would do it repeatedly, and then Evan
would be the one who just like got unlucky, got
her Like Alex and I would do something like twenty
times and it would just like we get hurt. It
was so stupid.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm lucky to be walking. I flashed
it my back in three spots.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I know.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah, I felt I don't have any of it.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I feel so bout that.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Yeah, and that was that was so stupid. We had
built up this giant thing of like stuffed animals underneath
this and like stuffed animals and pillows underneath this bunk bed,
and then we would just jump onto it. And so
Alex and I and Evan just kept jumping onto it
and everybody's fine. Everybody's fine, everybody's fine. Evan jumps onto it.
It just like it's in crippling pain and we're just like,
oh crap, what have we done? So yeah, yeah, but no,
(34:54):
now you get injured less, I think, so, yeah, that's
that's at least good. Thanks again for watching her Ask
Anything chat with Romeo from Asking Anything Live. Our new
song is called Training Arc and we really hope to
see you guys on the road soon. Thank you to
everybody who submitted stuff. These were really really fun. I
had a great time answering these and yeah, so yeah,
thank you guys so much. Bye all, bio
