Scott TailfordHOST
But President, if you don't know, are making waves in the alternate music scene, in the rock scene, the metal scene, whatever.
Scott TailfordHOST
Whatever scene you would go to for the likes of Ghost or Sleep Token because they are the most recent masked band to blow up.
Scott TailfordHOST
And they're helmed by Charlie Simpson, the dude that was in Busted.
Scott TailfordHOST
Which is funny because he was in Busted for obviously ages.
Scott TailfordHOST
I never loved them, but I like obviously what they represent.
Scott TailfordHOST
And I do like Charlie's voice as well.
Scott TailfordHOST
A lot of people love Charlie Simpson's voice because he's not that far away from Vessel when you think about Sleep Token.
Scott TailfordHOST
But anyway, he started dropping this new project last year called President where it's Charlie Simpson, but he's got like a, I think it's Jimmy Carter.
Perran HelyesHOST
[laughs] I know.
Perran HelyesHOST
I saw a tweet that just really made me laugh [laughs] where you might remember the thing a couple years ago where we kept joking about people who were talking about the Sleep Token albums lining up because they all had a, a-
Mark SandersonHOST
[laughs]
Perran HelyesHOST
... like a circle directly in the middle of the album cover.
Yaz Taylor HaroonHOST
Just me.
Yaz Taylor HaroonHOST
Sleep Token.
Yaz Taylor HaroonHOST
Sleep Token.
Yaz Taylor HaroonHOST
Yes.
Yaz Taylor HaroonHOST
Some Bad Omen songs.
Ashley McCabeGUEST
So my first day, his first day.
Ashley McCabeGUEST
And we connected really well with our favorite music, which was Sleep Token.
Ashley McCabeGUEST
And later on, like when I had my spiritual awakening, I like do like deep research on Sleep Token and the lyrics and stuff.
Ashley McCabeGUEST
And like
Valerie RubinHOST
all of this,
30 MINS LATER
Ashley McCabeGUEST
To send me like his Spotify rap.
Ashley McCabeGUEST
Because obviously music was a big thing.
Ashley McCabeGUEST
So it's like sleep token.
RhettHOST
Okay, me and Aaron are on the same wavelength, which makes me feel like a villain.
RhettHOST
But this song does something that I hate, which is why I don't like Sleep Token particularly.
RhettHOST
you were just doing a lot of different elements that don't seem to mesh throughout the song where it's going one direction this time then we're going to this direction this time then we're going to this direction this time now we're going to end
KyleHOST
here I will say the last like 30 seconds of the song confused me because I thought it was over and then all of a sudden we got 30 seconds of instrumental I like that it was good but it catches me off guard every time I get to that point
15 MINS LATER
CaelHOST
No, not Dionysus.
CaelHOST
It's Pink Noise.
CaelHOST
Pink Noise is the same chord as Do You Wish That You Love Me by Sleep Token.
CaelHOST
Literally played side by side.
MattHOST
I mean most of the album was already out
PeteHOST
i'll give it the production is great and his voice for the most part is always fantastic i don't like when he does the slightly muffly modern rap style where you deliberately make the vocals sound a bit muffly and a bit a bit sleep token what he does i don't know towards the end of the album
MattHOST
i heard more chino than anything Well, that's where he certainly leans most of his career, does lean into the sort of Deftones-y of things.
PeteHOST
Yeah, I mean, I had put Deftones in the notes.
PeteHOST
I mean, honestly, I mean, a lot of it is a bit pop slop that Sleep Token put out, meeting bits of Deftones and Jordan Fish production with some, I actually thought of 30 Seconds to Mars in a few places, more in the, not the production, but the actual songwriting, like the structures and the hooks, the way they sort of end.
PeteHOST
Yeah,
MattHOST
I can see that.
MattHOST
I'm trying to sort of think of the best way to sort of...
KevinHOST
And even in rock metal, too, it's like outside of, you know, the 90s grudge movement with bands like you guys or bands like Return to Dust really picking up and picking up a lot of positivity.
KevinHOST
You're seeing artists, especially the last couple of years, like with Bad Omens hitting big, Sleep Token hitting big.
KevinHOST
Even with the heavier styles and the more aggressive styles, just with that, I don't give a shit feel like Knocked Loose.
KevinHOST
They're getting big as well because it's much more raw and it's much more real.
KevinHOST
So we need to also have artists that are going to be out there showing the lighter side of life, having fun.
KevinHOST
But it's all about finding that perfect balance where...
KevinHOST
You know, we can have artists like what you guys are doing, what Bad Omens is doing, what Sleep Token is doing, just having much more of this raw emotional outpouring of really where the song is coming from.
KevinHOST
But then it's always great to have bands like A Day to Remember, bands like Electric Callboy come in to remind us that, you know, life is fun just the way, like life can be fun as well.
Mike JHOST
And I really like what I've heard.
Mike JHOST
They remind me of a combination between Deftones and Sleep Token a little bit.
Mike JHOST
Oh, yeah.
Mike JHOST
And I think they would be a great show.
Johnny FranckGUEST
Yeah.
Johnny FranckGUEST
I genuinely adore Sleep Token.
Johnny FranckGUEST
I genuinely love their music.
Johnny FranckGUEST
We did that tour with them, and like...
Lucas WoodlandGUEST
...
Lucas WoodlandGUEST
but Sleep, Sleep Token made metal pop forever.
Drew FortuneHOST
Yeah.
Lucas WoodlandGUEST
Um, you know, but, like, yeah, I think it's such a, it's such a weird one.
Drew FortuneHOST
And like you said-
Lucas WoodlandGUEST
Mm
Drew FortuneHOST
... like the Sleep Token, like post-Sleep Token era, you hear a lot more of it, and it's starting to kind of get to the point where it's, like, jarring to hear when there's, like, such an obvious direct comparison.
Drew FortuneHOST
Don't get me wrong, we're, we literally go by the Sleep Token roundup.
