PipemanRadio Interviews Sinnery

0:04 Hy you have done to censure? Wow? Crazy you why become of America. It's time for the Adventures of pipe Man on W four c Y dot com. West pomp Beats is number one internet radio station. Here's your host, the light Man. It's the pipe Man here on the Adventures of pipe Man W four c Y Radio. And I'm very excited about our next guest because listen, not only do they have as music that's just my style, because the new music and all their music kind of sounds thrashy to me.

1:06 And as you guys know, I'm a total thrash metal head, but I like all metal and I can also tell that there's an influence there for from different parts of me, which is why I like nowadays. So let's welcome to the show, Sinnery. How are you, hey man, glad to be here. Thank you for having me. Oh my pleasure. You know, it was funny because I did email the publicists or message the publicists morning to confirm because I wasn't your band is in Israel, so I wasn't even sure if we were going to have an interview, because like, there's so much going on and I'm not there to know what's going on you are, But most importantly, oh my god, to be a band in Israel right now, that must be a little difficult. Yeah, it's kind of hard right now. It's kind of hard keeping like a normal band lifestyle right now, seeing as our guitar player got drafted to the army and he's going there.

2:08 He's been there all week and he comes back. He should have been head a couple of days off, but they shortened it. I don't know why. So he's going back. So we we didn't have a proper rehearsal since we got back on tour two weeks ago. We got back and on the on the next Saturday after we were back, it all started. So, yeah, all of our plans have been pushed, uh to the to the future. Hopefully this this will end soon and we can get back to do live shows and stuff. But we as a band after COVID pretty much learned to handle these kind of situations to really work inwards, you know, and develop some stuff and and do what we can do, you know, behind the scenes and not necessarily on our souls are out there or you know, because we can't, like we can't promote new music right now with other things coming down coming down here. Yes, it just seems insensitive, you know, oh, one hundred percent. And you know, like, uh, you know, I'm I pray for your band member, my son.

3:20 He's in the army for many years in the US. He actually fought for Israel when that scenario happened with Iran a few years back, and he I was talking on the other phone and the other day on the phone and he uh, he was saying like he wants to go over there, and he's gonna ask like his commanders, like even last time when he was fighting, the rest of his unit went back to Germany because that's where they were stationed, and he actually requested to stay and did stay. Uh. And like right now that you know he he'd rather be over there, because you know, it is a shame from it just forget political or anything else, just from a human standpoint of what's going on. And it's nothing new, like it's something that Israel has gone through since the beginning of time. And and and then you know, I was at I was doing radio coverage I have festival and then I saw like something happened at a music festival there. I'm like, geez, it must be so hard on everybody, but it's you know, it's definitely hard on bands or people that want to have live music that here we go once again, but not because of COVID, that you know, there's gonna be some restrictions. And I think, you know, it's smart of you to like kind of not smart of you, but just great of you to be humane about it, because you're right, like, how can you sit there and start pushing stuff right now with all that's going

4:55 on. It's such a small country, you know, or like what eight million people here, This is a small country. And so we had thirteen hundred people dead on Saturday. And so thirteen hundred dead means everyone knows someone. I'm talking literally, everyone knows someone who was taken hostage got killed. We have a drummer of a metal core band here in Israel called persappor his their drummer Yo Tamahaim. He's in Gaza now he's a hostage, you know. And a lot of people who were at the Nova party, they're all like kind of my age. There's people from my city who were there, people who went to school with me. So this is crazy. This is a crazy situation. And I'm lucky enough to not know that many people, but many people around me do. If you look at at the Facebook as Facebook or Instagram or anything right now on TikTok even very there's no happy stuff coming out of anyone although related. So this is the hardest thing we've gone through since probably the Holocaust, and that is what it's being said. And you know, my youngest daughter, she just did birthright last year, and so she is so devastating because she has friends that she met there that basically nobody's heard from, you know, and like you never think you're going to

6:28 wake up in the morning and that's what you're going to hear, you know. And I think that's the most important thing for the whole world to know, forget everything else, you know, just the humanity of it, Like, yeah, you know, why can't we just all just get along? To me? War is just like what was the point? You know? I know what the point is, and it ain't my point, Yeah exactly, I'm without taking any And I think that the whole word should you know, should look at it and and have some sympathy for the guy, for the for the ones who suffer from this thing, because yeah, whichever side you take the what happened is it is an abomination of humanity, you know, It's it's like it's something that shouldn't shouldn't should not happen these days and age anywhere to anyone, any place. And I like that. I like that you said no matter what side, because that's the oird thing. It bothers me about everything in twenty twenty three. It's like you have to pick a side. I've and I had it recently with this situation. You know, I posted something on Facebook and some guy just like totally attacked me, doesn't know who I am or whatever. And I mean I didn't get mad back. It was more like, listen, why can't people just look at both sides of the equation, Like this person can see and the other side

8:01 but their own, you know. And I think the only way we get along as humans is if we can see the other side. We don't have to agree, but at least be willing to see what their perspective is. You have to take each side, you know, account like, take each side seriously. So I'm not I'm not really engaging on Facebook if it's not seen the related because I see all the people, you know, getting into fights, and no one's gonna change your opinion, or you're not gonna change anyone's opinion by commenting on Facebook. That's that's not gonna happen now, So you know, it's it's it seems irrelevant. You can, you can, you can post your own opinion. You're welcome to do that. That's the point. But to get into any kind of altercation with someone about about your opinion, and what's it going to accomplish? It accomplishes nothing nothing. It's funny you should say that. It's my daughter, she said that to me the other day. She's like, I haven't been seeing you posting a bunch of about what's going on in Israel on your socials and you have all these social media followers. You should be posting stuff. And that's my exact opinion too, what you just said. It's like, I'm not going to change anybody's mind. You know. I'm up for you know, for getting awareness.

9:20 So I share some of the stuff, you know, So there's any some kind of Israeli uh uh uh Israeli say in the conversation. So my so people who follow me should should know what we have to say. But I'm not getting into any kind of argument because it's irrelevant and exactly exactly you know, and nobody's going to listen that's opposite your viewpoints anyway, So what's the point of it. It doesn't make things better. Uh, what would make things better is if we just get all just together, sit and listen to some killer music like your new songs. Share this because that's a bad as song and music unites us, right, you know, it's like you go to a metal show. There's no labels of who's what, where's it was at one time, but nowadays it's not. And like I think the whole world could learn from a metal music festival basically. That's that's right.

10:20 We've been through a few music festivals in the past, not not just playing, just you know, even coming as as as audience, and we met people from all over the globe. And it doesn't matter where you're from. I know, I know I probably won't ask where you're from because I don't I don't really care. You know, if you're if you're if you're having a nice conversation with someone, that's really irrelevant, you know, you know, uh to have any kind of opinion because you you know, the geographical location of where they were born in and people, yeah, people wherever we travel, people are always like saying, oh metal from Israel. That's that's weird typical thing that we don't necessarily listen to metal here, but we have a pretty strong scene. See. I love hearing that too, because you know, again, perspective around the world of things even. Okay, so last year when my daughter was in Israel, I was at Healthfest and covering hell Fest while she was in Israel, and she was telling me all about it and part and she was telling me about being in Tel Aviv and like, man, they really know how to party here. And you know, like you wouldn't most people wouldn't have that image of all these people just having fun. You know, people watch the news. I had this disagreement with my brother the other day. He's like about this situation, was like and he was like, I've been watching the news constantly. I'm like, yeah,

11:54 but I know people He's like, well, that doesn't matter. I've been watching the news, and it's like that's the world we live in right now. Like real life experiences, people you actually know telling you their account of things is not as factual as what people watch on TV or see in social media, like it blows my mind. There's a caption that everyone shares right now that says, like, smart of you to judge one of the toughest conflicts in human history by watching BBC, and you know true, how can you like, I can't tell you about about you know, from a first person perspective about conflicts anywhere else. I could talk only about here because I live here. I've seen this for the past twenty seven years. I know something about it, you know, at least I know something exactly.

12:50 We see. We see the media all over the world. We see just stuff that they say about us. You know, when we have like a bombing attagon they call it a conflict, or or when someone gets when the terrorists attack and they say a Palestinian citizen, which is not it's not not true, but you got to address it the way it is. Yeah, you can side it when people are dying well, and you know, listen, as somebody myself that travels the world, it's very interesting watching news in each country you're in because it's always different no matter where you are, you know. So and again going back to like your band and your music that takes me away from all this stuff. I'd rather not watch the news and just listen to your music. Well, then when we did our job, there you go. We rather play music than than talk about anything else.

13:54 We just rather to play. That's it, So tell us about share this. You know, it's so funny because I had the double I had to do a double take when I saw the name of the song because I was like, now, is that the name of the song or should that? Is that just saying shareless like it's a brilliant name for a song. Because of that, that that the skit that comes before it on the EP is called we just want you to Oh I love that share this and it's it's kind of a it's a people didn't really get back. Yeah, well we had. We did a skit that it's all about like telling you to to support our stuff on Facebook, Instagram only fans and TikTok and whatever. And we don't really we don't have an omnifans account. Yeah, yeah, nothing that we're working on, but yeah, share this. Share this is uh, it's kind of a cool song. It was it was it was written out of out of desperation because it was mid COVID and we realized that while we can't have any live shows or we can't perform live anywhere, we need to We need to live, we need to be be present on all of our socials. So we started working on that and it got to a point where we realized how hard it is to maintain like like some kind of maintain

15:26 our socials regularly. And so that song was written out of the desperation that working on it, that we had working on it because we were just like, you know, we just wanted to play music. We don't want to go on air and make videos and write stuff. And nowadays we feel we were more comfortable doing that, but at the beginning it was not comfortable. It was a drag. Yeah, So that song was really it was coming out of that, and then about losing our humanity through technology and how it's all out there on the internet right now. Yeah. Technology, that's a big topic right there too, because I don't know, you can be on both sides of that fence. You know, in some ways it serves us good, but in other ways I think we were better before technology, yeah, because I think that we lost kind of our humanity yep, with social media, with everything being so comfortable to see, to get to know.

16:40 You know, it's I remember in the beginning of it, I saw it and I'm pretty techie person, and I saw it as a bigger benefit for people to spread hate than to spread communication, you know, and social agent. That's what happens all across the Internet. You know, something starts and it's positive and then they find a way to spread hate through it. It happened through all platforms since the beginning of that thing. Oh yeah, I mean, look at TikTok Okay during COVID, TikTok was a breath of fresh air because there's all the people that couldn't stand Facebook ay more, and all they hate and you know, the negativity. So you went to TikTok and you just watch these fun dances and there was nothing that was negative, nothing that was hateful. And now I find TikTok to be just like Facebook now because people got to know it, you know, people have heard about it, and wherever the kids are, then people with some kind of agenda will go there to try and spread and get me supporters. And it's inevitable in a way. But yeah, yeah, it draws the thing that we don't like about social media. It draws them there. Well, now I'm curious if you did have an only fans account? What would what would you do on your only fans account? Uh, that's your only for our subscribers to

18:11 norma man a great answer. You have to base nineteen ninety nine for a month. There you go, great answer. Hey, did you know what the two top top things are on only fans? By the way, No, okay, Number one is feet and number and number two is eating food. Eating though we do as well, see we have everything it takes to be number one. Only see there you go. You know what you could do for your only fans? You can play your guitar with your feet while eating. That might be the million dollar idea, I know, right, Uh as you listens, we we we don't stay now to any kind of a source of income, so that may be on the table. But yeah, yeah, there you go, there you go. And uh so what else do you have that you want to talk about that's gonna be new coming out or anything about your music and the band that you want the listeners to know. So our EP should have been out by now, but after a kind of a technical uh difficulties, it wasn't and then the war started and we felt that's irresponsible for us to to to release it right now. So

19:41 we're working on a on alternate, alternate date for it. For the release, we have so many new songs and we're working hard on coming back with with more because we don't know when this thing will be over and when we will play our next Showfully, it'll be here in Tel Aviv or anywhere in the world, and but we're we're still at it. We're working hard getting you stuff, and I hope it's soon be you know, let's get this thing over with and uh, you know, i'd like, I would that the best celebration of it being over with is for to be at a show of yours in Tel Aviv. That would be the the greatest celebration of ending this ridiculousness. Yeah, if you ever traveled to Telvi, you just I'm going to book a show for you, So just let me know. Oh, I'm definitely. You know, it's funny right after my daughter went because I for some reason, I never went, and so she was like like talking to me, you gotta go, get go, and sent me all these things. So I'm like, you know what I definitely should go, for sure, because it's something I've always wanted to do, and just there was always something happening that made me not go every time I planned on going.

21:00 And so here we go again. And so I said to myself the other day, I'm like, once this thing's over, the first place I'm going is Israel. Yeah, coming down, It's really fun. Televi is really fun, hyphrays really fun. Even Jerusalem has some sweet spots. You're gonna have a great time, absolutely, and it'd be even better if I'm at one of your shows, because you guys kick ass. And thank you. I'm grateful during these times that we have bands like you that are giving us great music that can help us through these times. And for that, I thank you for being a musician, and I thank you for being on the Adventures of pipe Man. Thank you so much for having me Man had a gat a great time. Thank you well, I'm glad you did.

21:48 And let's one last thing before I let you go. Let's tell everybody your socials how they can you know, hit you up on and connect check out your music by merch support the band all like good stuff. Hey man, we're on, We're every Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and we're on Spotify. Just look for Scenery. We have a special content for each platform. We try to not say repeat the same thing twice and message us you know, we'd love to stay in contact with everyone, to talk to people. Stay safe everyone, and you definitely say safe. And my last comment will be you know, I love the irony of being a metal band in Israel and being called Scenery, especially especially since I always talk about with people all the time that like, there's no such thing as sin in the Hebrew language, it's missing the mark. So I love that your band's called Scenery.

22:47 It's great. Thank you very much. Thank you for being on the Adventures pipe Man. Thank you very much. Thank you for listening to the Adventures of Patement on w for c u I Radio.
