PipemanRadio Interviews Savage Hands at Louder Than Life 2025

0:04 Hi, you dont here, that's sure. Fee wow crazy young. This is pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here. With Savage Hands Nice here at Louder than Life. Man. It's just a fucking badass festival, or what. It definitely is. We've been watching this festival play out for the last couple of years since I don't know, I don't know how long it's been going on, but we've been watching it, all of our peers for the last at least.

0:47 Four to five years. We've been wanting to play it very badly, and then this year final. Here you are and here we are. And they made it better this year. So you picked the right year of cup Okay, Like I usually every year would like dread come in here, not because it's a festival, but because it's a festival dust and I would die for like a month after this because it was on the other. Side where it was like all gravel. I would cough up rocks, and. Here I don't have that problem. Like I've been here for two weeks and I still can breathe. It's amazing. So you pick the right year. Seven stages, it's bigger and better than ever. So I think Danny figured out. But if we're gonna make this bigger and better than ever, we're only gonna do that if you guys are here, I'll see the festival is very fucking very well put together, right, very organized.

1:39 It makes it so. Easy on you, right, because it can be so stressful when unorganized festival. And like Danny treats artists like it doesn't matter if you're the first band or you're slight. Treat you like humans, right exactly, and you're all the same. It doesn't matter who you are, because listen, if you don't take care of the artists, you're not taking care of the festival well, as simple as that. Yeah, yeah, I love that. We were on day thirty of a tour. We ended it last night. Unfortunately we had to show up a little late this morning because of the travel, and as soon as we pulled up, everything. Was taken care of. That's right.

2:20 Wait, unless the logistics were perfect, like, it was not going to work out for anyone, and today logistics were perfect. And hey, Danny Wimmer. And what do you think about how the crowds are at Danny Wimmer Festival for bands that are not the headliners. Like a lot of times there's nobody out there, and there's always at a Danny Wimmer festival, a huge crowd for every band, no matter who's playing. I think I think they did a great job at like division for each stage and the amount of time in between each band. So it's like, hey, like I can't remember how. Many stages there are, but let's just say there's six.

3:02 They did a great job staggering. They did a great job at staggering like what bands go west? Yeah, No, they did such a good job at staggering the set times for each band, especially for like some of the bands that, like us, it's our first time here, we've never played here. I know that there's a huge following for Danny Wimmer festivals, and there's a lot of bands that it might be their second or third or fourth time playing here. It's like, hey, yeah, we expect them to play here. But we're one of the bands this is our first time ever playing here at a Danny Wimmer festival and they showed up, and I'm just well, we all are super grateful for that.

3:46 I gotta say something too, off the what we're talking about. Your hat is bad ass, because I keep losing concentration because of your hat. Like it's a It's like, it's so cool for you. Listen, it says foxy, but it's upside down. So I keep like looking at it, going, Am I seeing that right? Shout out? Silver Fox Coffee in Nashville, Midtown, Tennessee. It's funny. The first time I ever went there, these guys were doing a writing session Sunday. They just had to get coffee. So I was like, there's a lot of coffee spots around here, but let's try something new. And we walked, I don't know, maybe a mile away to Silver Fox Coffee.

4:29 I went in there. I'm not even a coffee guy, but I like the hat and I was like, you know what. I'll just go buy the hat. There it is. I'm about the hat, so it works. It works. Love it. I also have to say too, one of my new favorite songs just because of the name itself, is your new song, cause that's gotta be my theme song. It's trust issues, and I am serious about trust issues in every department. I have trust issues in clean. This battle vest is my battle vest from the eighties as blood I'm from when I climbed up on Marshall Stack, did a swan dive crowd move knocked my teeth out, and so now I'll go in the mosh bit. I won't CrowdSurf, I won't stage dive because I don't trust anybody.

5:16 But and then I'm divorced twice. So I have trust issues there, like every aspect of life, and I think everybody has it, So what a it's really like an anthem for everybody. I I'll agree with you there. I think it's a little deeper than what is the whole copy and paste of the word trust issues. You know, Yeah, more often than not people will just associate it with some type of like relationship that combat. But yeah, trust issues can be portrayed through a lot of different things. You can have trust issues with significant other or a job, you know, food, this, that, everything, like so many different things.

5:57 And with that song, I think we were able to just make it a little bit more vague so that more people can attach to it and perceive it however they want to do it. And that's that's a good song. Well that's what we wanted to try to do. It's like, we don't want to make it so direct it's just like, hey, like we want you to be able to hear. This and relate to it in your own way. Yeah. Yeah, And that's the key to a good song. Like there's some mars that they want you to feel exactly what they were feeling, right, But that's not a good song. A good song is where everybody can put their own meaning to it. And like, for me, my trust issues started when it had nothing to do with those things, even though those are things that I mentioned that give me trust issues, but I know where it originated originated.

6:44 Like my dad, he's like three days we're moving to California and you can't tell a living soul. So I kind of live like underground and so living that life, My whole life has been about trust issues from that, and. I think that's the key. People have to look at where the source is of their trust issues in order to work them out. When it can be anything. It's doesn't have to like you're talking about. It doesn't have to be like just a relationship thing. Maybe you have that relationship trust issue because of something else, And that's what we got to look for the source of where that is exactly I have trust issues just because the world's crazy right now.

7:27 That is a big one I feel like for me, like when the song got written. We wrote the song a while ago, different mindset, different time, but now, and this happens often with the songs, right We put songs out and it's in the moment like this is how I felt right now. But then in order to play them in the future you can connect with them and be able to live that on stage and make it a show. You still need to portray some type of feeling on stage. And for me, it's like the actions in the world right now, like that that's what drives that song. For me, it's just like, yeah, like I have a lot of trust issues right now with the whole world, like me too, man, general statement, but like who else doesn't.

8:13 Right, And you made a good point because I'll even give an example. Several years back at Aftershock. Blink one A two headlined, and there are a lot of people in the crowd talking about even though they like blank, they couldn't really relate anymore because they're not fifteen anymore. Okay, I heard that. So when you said that, that's exactly what I thought of. Because your song to have longevity has to relate every time you play it to something, and that's what this does. In my opinion. I still listen to Blink. It makes me feel young again. Lie there you go. It makes I still listen to them too.

8:53 No, I can. Give you a great example of this. We have a song. We don't it live right now, but I'm sure that we will in the future. We probably need to in the future. But it really sad song and it's about a sad topic, something that hurt in the past. For me specifically. But we did play it live once and went out there and said, hey, I don't feel the same as when I wrote this song is what I do now. But guess what I still feel something now. And what I feel is I was there down bad and now I'm here. So that's just a reminder of that things can get better. So that's what that song feels to me now. It's like, oh, it can get better.

9:36 You know you love it. You used to feel that way then, but hey, you can look back and be like, hey, like that sucked. But we're all going to have stuff that sucks in life and you just got to like push through. So whenever something sucks, I can look back at that song and be like, oh, yeah, well I got through that, so there it is. I love it, and I go ask too, since this is like, to me, this is your last stop on the tour. Okay, how does it feel that your last stop on a tour is a festival like this? It was awesome. It was great to cap it off with this for real. Yeah, it was an awesome set. We might have played for more people than we've ever played for night. Yeah, definitely definitely wanted to end it on that note.

10:19 And I was stuck back here. My helper was out at because I send her out to go to sets that I can't make it to, and she said, you guys killed it out there. Awesome, thank you, thank you. Yeah, we had a good time last night. We played in a new city, state that we've never played for and that's always fun, you know, seeing how we fare in a brand new place. And last night's Yeah, last night's show was awesome. And I was like, well, I guess we get to two enders here. You get to do this one and then we get to play Louder than Life and crush it. And it's always the vibe of like. Like, don't overthink it. Whatever we get is what we get. We're gonna have a good time, and today we got more than what we could ask for.

11:02 So we're very hyped for this ending. Well, I love it, and you guys rock. Tell everybody how they can reach out to you on socials, how they could buy your merch. They can't listen to my show unless they buy your merch. And I think you should start making hats with your band name upside down. Actually that is a good idea, right, Probably should do that. That would be sick. Caught my attention immediately, so all I could focus on the whole interview was your hat. So there you go. The best way to find us, we're very active on Instagram, Facebook, so it'd be Savage Hands Official. And then I want to say the online store is just Savage Hands Store. If you type in Savage handstore dot com, that's where it will get you right to our online store. You can support us that way, but honestly, the best way to support us is come out to a live show.

11:50 Is that's what we want. I'll also say keep an eye off for new music coming soon, very soon. And we got a little surprise next summer for y'all. Oh all right, I'm psyched about that. Well. Thanks a lot for being here at later in life, and thanks for being on the Adventures of pipe Man. Thank you, thank you for listening to the Adventures of Pipemin on w for CUI Radio.
