ROCK LEGENDS SOUL ASYLUM AND EVERCLEAR ANNOUNCE CO-HEADLINE UK NOVEMBER TOUR

American multi-Platinum alternative rock legends, Soul Asylum and Everclear today announce a November co-headline UK tour kicking off at Southampton’s grassroots venue The 1865 on Tuesday 8th November 2022. The eight date tour sees the bands also play Leeds’ Beckett Uni, O2 Ritz in Manchester, Hull, Nottingham, Bristol, Birmingham and London, at Camden’s iconic Electric Ballroom. Tickets are on pre-sale now – Pre-sale tickets here, Manchester pre-sale on Sept 9th at 10AM, with general on sale Friday Sept 9th at 10AM – General onsale tickets here.

Since the ‘80s, multi-Platinum Soul Asylum has been one of the most inspiring and hardworking bands in the rock scene, known for their raucous but emphatic combination of punk energy, guitar-fueled firepower, and songs that range from aggression to heartfelt. Their single ‘Runaway Train’, released in June 1993 became one of the biggest singles and from conquering the alternative nation’s heart Soul Asylum became an unstoppable crossover hit band. The single topped the charts around the world; it peaked at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number seven in the UK. It claimed the top position on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart, earning a gold sales certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, selling 600,000 copies in the US. Outside North America, it topped the charts in New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland and peaked within the top five on the charts in several other European countries.

The breakout hit went onto winning the Grammy Award for ‘Best Rock Song’ in 1994 and its moving music video became one of the defining videos of the MTV era, changing the lives of 21 missing children it helped reunite with their families. The visuals showed photographs and names of missing children, and ended with a plea from Pirner: “If you’ve seen one of these kids, or you are one of them, please call this number”. Alternative versions were edited for other countries and other children. 2022 also sees the band celebrate their 30th anniversary with a re-release of their defining triple-platinum album ‘Grave Dancers Union’, coming in October.

Iconic alternative punk rockers Everclear are one of the leading bands to emerge from the ‘90s. Led by their renowned frontman, guitarist and founder Art Alexakis, they are currently celebrating their 30th year anniversary with the rerelease of their cult and long out of print 1993 debut album ‘World Of Noise – 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition’, now remastered and available for the first time ever on digital streaming platforms. The band has been celebrating the release with a milestone 25+ date North American 30th Anniversary Tour, before heading to the UK in November and Australia in January 2023.

Since forming in 1992, Everclear have enjoyed a lengthy and successful career, spanning eleven studio releases, four certified Gold or Platinum, selling over six million records worldwide, with accolades including a 1998 Grammy nomination for ‘So Much For The Afterglow’. The massive success of albums like ‘Sparkle And Fade’, including the underrated hit ‘Heroin Girl’, the smash hit ‘Santa Monica’ and subsequent single ‘Father Of Mine, firmly catapulted the band to mainstream success. Everclear became a movie soundtrack favourite, ‘Local God’ was included in Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Romeo+Juliet’ soundtrack and their songs have been featured in movies including ‘American Pie’, ‘Scream 2’, and with the band making a rare cameo appearance in ‘Loser’.

In recent years, Everclear’s charismatic frontman Alexakis created and runs the annual ‘Summerland Tour’, which features a package of popular ‘90s alt rock bands, and also released his first solo album, ‘Sun Songs’, released via The End Records/BMG, in 2019. The album coincided with Alexakis going public with something very personal, his diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, a condition that hasn’t slowed the charismatic artist down.

Soul Asylum and Everclear Co-Headlining November UK tour is on pre-sale now, Manchester pre-sale on Sept 9th at 10AM – Pre-sale tickets here. General onsale on Sept 9th at 10AM BST – General onsale tickets here.

Live Review: Everclear/Soul Asylum – 10th November 2022 – Electric Ballroom, London, UK

Two of the 90’s classic – but somewhat overlooked – rock and roll titans, Soul Asylum and Everclear, appeared at Camden’s Electric Ballroom on Thursday, showing that age doesn’t necessarily mean winding down. Both bands have seen a high level of success in their respective careers, Soul Asylum going as far as to win a Grammy Award in 1992 for Best Rock Song, and now, both veterans are touring as part of a thirtieth anniversary celebration, showing that they still have what it takes to put on a good show.

Everclear kicked off the night with an apt amount of feedback and distortion, starting off proceedings with So Much for the Afterglow . It was, according to singer Art Alexakis, the first time the band had played the UK in ten years, and their enthusiasm was apparent. Their fans, too, seemed eager for their return. Favourites Amphetamine , Song From an American Movie , and Father of Mine flew past, leaving no room for breath. Banter en-masse, Art announced “anyone an Everclear fan?” before asking again, “I mean, an old school 1995 fan?” powering into Heroin Girl . The crowd immediately sung along to the opening lines, prompting Art to leave it solely to them. Wonderful was dedicated to Art’s daughter, asking the audience “who else has kids?” acknowledging their ageing fanbase. These moments of reflection culminated with Art telling the audience of his battle with MS, before finishing with a double hitter of Nervous & Weird and Santa Monica , realising that their time was limited. Despite the thirty years between their first release and the show, both songs, and their set as a whole, still hit with a huge impact.

Soul Asylum followed quickly after. Beginning with Got It Pretty Good , the band pounded through three more tunes, including fan-favourite Shut Down , before even speaking with the audience. It was a quick fire affair; no talk, no filler, all music; solos galore, separated only by singer Dave Pirner’s batch of dad-jokes. “This one’s in a Kevin Smith movie” he announced in one rare moment of humourless conversation, before playing Misery to a resounding cheer. Smash hit Runaway Train came as a surprise, beginning after soft acoustic number Never Really Been . It was the only time in the set where there was a strong sense that the band were trying to underplay a song, but despite this, it went down extremely well with the crowd. Completing their set with an encore of String of Pearls and April Fool , Soul Asylum kept up the energy, matching – and maybe even topping – their contemporaries, both in performance and in style.

Two ageing bands, neither of which showed signs of such. The show was both a nostalgia trip and a showcase of what the younger audience members missed. Long may both bands continue to tour.

SOUL ASYLUM

Soul Asylum initially formed in the early ’80s under the name Loud Fast Rules when vocalist/guitarist Dave Pirner was still in high school with friends Dan Murphy and Karl Mueller, and became part of the celebrated Minneapolis local music scene alongside fellow indie bands the Replacements and Hüsker Dü.

The band entered the major-label mainstream with 1988’s Hang Time and its 1990 follow-up, And the Horse They Rode In On, before achieving a commercial breakthrough with 1992’s triple platinum Grave Dancers Union. That album spawned several international hits, including “Runaway Train,” which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song, and “Black Gold,” and made Soul Asylum alternative radio and MTV staples. In the ensuing decades, the band—which also includes drummer Michael Bland, lead guitarist Ryan Smith and bassist Winston Roye—has released a steady stream of albums, including 2020’s Hurry Up And Wait, their highest charting album in 25 years. The latter reflects Soul Asylum’s usual eclectic approach: thrashing songs indebted to punk (“Hopped Up Feelin'”) and classic rock (“Got It Pretty Good”), folk-influenced pop-rock (“Silly Things”), and gorgeous jangle-pop (lead single “If I Told You”). The band recently finished their best selling tour in 15 years, The Dead Letter Tour, with support from Local H.

Though Everclear ‘s Northwestern grunge-punk style was hardly revolutionary when the band rose to popularity in 1995, the trio’s hook-ridden songs and Art Alexakis ‘ “us against them” lyrics were taken to heart by bored Gen-X teens. Everclear’s sound reflected the rock, post-punk, and singer/songwriter influences of frontman  Alexakis , including acts like  X ,  the Replacements ,  the Pixies ,  Bruce Springsteen ,  Tom Petty , and  Elvis Costello . Also instrumental to Everclear’s success was the group’s obsessive touring schedule and aggressive self-promotion tactics.

Art Alexakis  (born April 12, 1962, West Los Angeles, California) was raised in a lower-middle-class household by his single mother. His father left the family during  Alexakis ‘ childhood, an incident that would later pepper many of Everclear’s most popular songs. The dual deaths of his brother and girlfriend (his brother by heroin overdose; his girlfriend by suicide) convinced him to kick his own cocaine habit in the mid-’80s, and he later formed a country-punk band named Colorfinger in San Francisco. The group released one LP on  Alexakis ‘ own  Shindig  label, but the album (and an EP) went out of print after distributor  Rough Trade  folded. The band subsequently imploded, and  Alexakis  moved to his girlfriend’s hometown of Portland, Oregon. In 1992, he met Craig Montoya (born September 14, 1970) and Everclear’s first drummer, Scott Cuthbert; the trio recorded a demo EP for $400 and released the disc on Portland’s  Tim/Kerr  label.  Alexakis  grew frustrated with the company’s lack of promotion, so he hired an independent promoter to push the EP and personally mailed copies to media outlets and distributors.

Everclear then added several songs to the EP, retitled it World of Noise, and issued the expanded package in 1993 on  Fire Records . Throughout the following year, the group toured relentlessly and underwent several key changes, replacing Cuthbert with Greg Eklund (born April 18, 1970) and signing to  Capitol Records  in June. Their second album, Sparkle and Fade, appeared in 1995 and attracted a much wider audience. Alternative radio outlet lent their support to the singles “Santa Monica” and “Heroin Girl,” and the album eventually rose to platinum status. Meanwhile,  Alexakis  became a major alternative media figure, even reporting from the 1996 political conventions for MTV. So Much for the Afterglow followed in 1997 and went double platinum, particularly due to the success of three Top Five modern rock hits, “Everything to Everyone,” “I Will Buy You a New Life,” and “Father of Mine.”  Alexakis  had become a father himself around this time, and the birth of his daughter prompted the singer to become even more politically active. He testified in front of Congress regarding child support laws and campaigned with several presidential tickets, among other efforts. Everclear was also hailed as Modern Rock Artist of the Year by Billboard magazine in 1998.

A double-barreled concept effort appeared in 2000 with the poppy Songs from an American Movie, Vol. 1: Learning How to Smile surfacing in early fall and the harder-rocking Songs from an American Movie, Vol. 2: Good Time for a Bad Attitude appearing a few months later. (Learning How to Smile was initially planned as a solo effort for  Alexakis , given its deviation from the band’s standard three-piece rock sound.) Both records produced several charting singles, with the AM radio pop of “Wonderful” finding the most success. Everclear returned with the more straightforward Slow Motion Daydream in 2003 before the aptly titled greatest-hits compilation Ten Years Gone: The Best of Everclear 1994-2004 appeared in October 2004. In between,  Alexakis  ventured on a brief 2003 solo acoustic tour before the entire Everclear lineup would shift around him. He remained the only original member as the group expanded past a trio to include bassist Sam Hudson, guitarist Dave French, drummer Brett Snyder, and keyboardist Josh Crawley.

By then off the  Capitol  roster and back in the indie world, the newly minted Everclear released Welcome to the Drama Club on  Eleven Seven Music  (in association with  ADA / Warner Music Group ) in September 2006. Spearheaded by the single “Hater,” the album was meant to be an homage to some of  Alexakis ‘ earliest influences. Drama Club cracked the Billboard Top 200 and hit number 11 on the Top Independent Albums chart, while Everclear subsequently headed out on a college club tour through the fall. Released in 2008, The Vegas Years was a set of covers; 2009’s In a Different Light, an album of acoustic reinterpretations of the group’s songs, turned the tables. Two years later, Everclear continued to look backward, cutting a bunch of new versions of their hits — along with a few covers — on the album Return to Santa Monica. Their first album of new material in six years, Invisible Stars, arrived in in the summer of 2012; it peaked at 119 on the Billboard charts. Three years later, the group returned with the heavier Black Is the New Black, released on  The End Records .

Alexakis  released his first solo album, Sun Songs, in October 2019.

Since the ‘80s Soul Asylum have been one of the most inspiring and hardworking bands in the rock scene, known for their raucous but emphatic combination of punk energy, guitar-fueled firepower and songs that range from aggressive to heartfelt.

The Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum selling band started out as Minneapolis’ punk younger brothers to the Replacements and Husker Dü, before releasing their breakthrough album ‘Grave Dancer’s Union’ in 1992. With twelve albums, live compilations and a Greatest Hits collection under their belts, Soul Asylum released ‘Hurry Up And Wait’ in 2020 to both fan and critical acclaim worldwide, landing the band their highest Billboard Chart position since 1995. Heading into this year and beyond with more touring and recording on the horizon, the band are refreshed and ready to embrace whatever comes next.

Marking their 30th anniversary as a band this year, Everclear have kicked things up a notch in 2022 as they celebrate the major milestone amidst a career already filled with huge achievements. After forming in Portland in 1992, Everclear released their full-length debut ‘World of Noise’ a year later.

Amassing a range of fan favourite hits with the likes of “Santa Monica” and “Father Of Mine”, Everclear have sold over 6 million records, achieved four gold or platinum albums, and twelve Top 40 Singles alongside a 1998 Grammy nomination.

Releasing their most recent album ‘Black Is The New Black’ in 2015, Everclear don’t plan on slowing down any time soon. With the upcoming UK run capping-off nearly a full year spent touring, the band will be celebrating their enduring legacy and ongoing appeal as a live band.

Soul Asylum / Everclear, The Old Woollen, Leeds, 9th November 2022

• Google Plus

What to do on a cold Wednesday November night in Leeds? Stay in and watch a bunch of C-list celebs’ and a Pantomine-villain MP eating animals’ dangly bits in the Australian jungle – or enjoy the double delights on offer at the 500-capacity music venue The Old Woollen?

If you are a rock music fan – No contest. Off to the gig it is… Not one US rock band, but two; and not any old rock bands either. Soul Asylum and Everclear sharing the bill as part of an eight-date UK tour. This gig moved from Beckett Uni to The Old Woollen recently. Lovely room it is too.

So, here we have two American multi-platinum alternative rock legends, Soul Asylum and Everclear on their second gig of the tour which kicked off the day before in Southampton. They also play Manchester, Blackpool, Nottingham, Bristol, Birmingham and London, at Camden’s Electric Ballroom.

Since the ‘80s, Soul Asylum has been one of the most inspiring and hardworking bands in the rock scene, known for their raucous but emphatic combination of punk energy, guitar-fueled firepower, and songs that range from aggression to heartfelt.

Their 1993 single “Runaway Train”, became one of the biggest singles and helped Soul Asylum became an unstoppable crossover hit band. The single topped the charts around the world; peaked at # five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and # seven in the UK.

It claimed the top position on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart, earning a gold sales certification. Outside North America, it topped the charts in New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland and peaked within the top five on the charts in several other European countries.

The breakout hit won a Grammy for “Best Rock Song” in 1994, and its moving music video became one of the defining videos of the MTV era, changing the lives of 21 missing children it helped reunite with their families.

The visuals showed photographs and names of missing children, and ended with a plea from singer Dave Pirner: “If you’ve seen one of these kids, or you are one of them, please call this number”. Alternative versions were edited for other countries and other children.

2022 also sees the band celebrate their 30th anniversary, with a re-release of their defining triple-platinum album “Grave Dancers Union”, which dropped in October. In 1993, Soul Asylum performed at President Clinton’s first inauguration.

Iconic alternative punk rockers Everclear are one of the leading bands to emerge from the ‘90s.

Led by their renowned frontman, guitarist and founder Art Alexakis, they are currently celebrating their 30th year anniversary with the re-release of their cult and long out of print 1993 debut album “World Of Noise – 30 th Anniversary Deluxe Edition”, now remastered and available for the first time on digital streaming platforms.

The band which formed in 1981 in Minnesota as Loud Fast Rules and changed their name in ’83, has been celebrating the release with a milestone 25+ date North American 30 th Anniversary Tour, before heading to the UK this month (November and Australia in February 2023.

These celebrations have culminated with the release of their new single, “Year of the Tiger” (Nov 4th) – the politically-charged offering, marks the first new song from the band since the release of their 2015 album, “Black Is The New Black’”.

Since forming in 1992, Everclear have enjoyed a lengthy and successful career, spanning 12 studio releases, four certified Gold or Platinum, selling more than six million records worldwide, with accolades including a 1998 Grammy nomination for “So Much For The Afterglow”.

The massive success of albums  like “Sparkle And Fade”, including the underrated hit “Heroin Girl”, the smash hit “Santa Monica” and subsequent single “Father Of Mine”, firmly catapulted the band to mainstream success.

Everclear became a movie soundtrack favourite, “Local God” included in Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo+Juliet” soundtrack and their songs have been featured in movies including “American Pie”, “Scream 2”, and with the band making a rare cameo appearance in “Loser”.

In recent years, Everclear’s charismatic frontman Art Alexakis created and runs the annual “Summerland Tour”, which features a package of popular ‘90s alt-rock bands, and also released his first solo album, “Sun Songs”, released via The End Records/BMG in 2019.

The album coincided with Alexakis going public with something very personal, his diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, a condition that has not slowed the charismatic artist down.

Soul Asylum – Dave Pirner, Michael Bland, Winston Royle and Ryan Smith – deliver 16 songs tonight, with plenty from their latest, 2020-released album “Hurry Up And Wait”,  kicking off with, “Got It Pretty Good”, “Somebody To Shove” and “Oxygen”. They sling in now cover, Victoria Williams’ “Summer Of Drugs”, and end with “Just Like Anyone”, “Closer To The Stars” and “April’s Fool”.

Their superb set was strangely interspersed with “dad jokes” from Mr Pirner. Not sure if that’s his usual thing, but it was quite a nice element, despite the good natured groans from the fans at these lame jokes. Thankfully the music was substantially better than the humour!

A much louder, more engaged audience throughout Soul Asylum’s set compared to Everclear’s slot.

Sadly for Everclear, the sound mix was nowhere near as good as it is for Soul Asylum, but Everclear mean business too; opening with “So Much for The Afterglow”, “Everything To Everyone”, “Heroin Girl” and “Heartspark Dollarsign”.

Closing with “Strawberry”, “AM Radio”, “I Will Buy You A New Life” – in this song, Art, Freddy and Davey gathered around the centre stage microphone for harmony vocals, but the muddy sound mix meant very little was audible – and the best moment of their set, “Santa Monica”.

It took song # eight, “Wonderful” (of 13 songs the band played) to get the crowd singing along. The band cut three songs from their set as they ran out of time, a shame because their last song, “Santa Monica” had a lot more energy than the other songs.

But both bands were great value for the ticket price, and Soul Asylum definitely gave a performance worthy of big arenas and stadiums.

It was much more than just another gig; this was a real experience being in such an intimate venue up-close-and-personal with these two legendary US rock bands, compared to the size of gigs they do in the US and around the globe.

A night everyone in attendance will surely treasure for a long time in their memory bank. Summing up with a tabloidesque headline: : This double dream team definitely delights!

• The venue opened last year and is a former mill dating back to 1830, now part of the Sunny Bank Mills complex. The new entertainment venue hosts a mix of music, comedy, theatre and spoken word.The mill was derelict for 50 years before the owners set about the renovation project. A really welcome addition to Leeds’ live music venues and a really welcoming space. We will be back there to cover more gigs in the future…

Soul Asylum - Autumn 2022

Loud Fast Words...

It’s been a busy time for Grammy Award winning alternative rock band Soul Aslyum. The Covid lockdown offered the opportunity for the band to immerse themselves creatively, with absolutely outstanding results. First of all, lead singer and guitarist Dave Pirner wrote Loud Fast Words: Soul Asylum Collected Lyrics , a wonderful book that not only contains the lyrics to over 150 songs but also shares the stories behind them, offering the reader a unique perspective into the soul of one of the last generations finest songwriters. Soul Asylum also released their 12th studio album Hurry Up And Wait , 14 wholly uplifting and empowering tracks, before embarking upon extensive and highly acclaimed tours of America. The great news is that they are now heading to the UK with contemporaries Everclear and the anticipation that’s building is immense. We catch up with Dave at his home in Minneapolis. It’s a beautiful sunny day but a surprise awaiting this UK based writer is that even though it’s only October, the first of the snow has already fallen. Having said this, the neighbours are clearly fully prepared and are busily hunkering down for the winter. Despite the cold we are given the warmest of welcomes. With so much to discuss we make ourselves comfortable and our conversation begins…  

I’d like our conversation to start with us focusing on your book, Loud Fast Words: Soul Asylum Collected Lyrics. This contains the lyrics to over 150 songs from over 40 years, but it is so much more than this. You provide the stories behind the songs, you share how your love of songwriting was born and also how it was nurtured. It really is a very special and I would say very important book. What really comes through is how deep your love of songwriting actually is. I love how you recall how you started making rhymes in as early as the second grade and that this was the basis and the start of your love for songwriting – and that’s fascinating to me. What do you remember of that time? Were you aware of what you were doing or was it simply your love of words and trying to put them together creatively?

I remember making rhymes in the backseat of my parents car, just kind of singing little songs about people. I had this one about my friends mother and her last name was Gert and I rhymed that with shirt. It was something like I’m going to show my shirt to Tim’s mum Gert, and I had a little tune that went along with it and my parents were very amused by that. I think it was a little bit later in school when we were supposed to write a limerick – and you can imagine a group of second graders trying to write limericks – so I made a thing about a fly and a pie. It wasn’t a limerick as such but my teacher was like “You know what, David, that’s not a limerick but that’s pretty fuckin’ good”! (Laughs!) I was like “Alright!”. I guess that I passed and failed all at the same time! (Laughs!)

Fantastic! Well one of the things I love, and you’ve touched on school there, is the fact that in your book you said that at school you noticed that your words got people’s attention, and I think the response from your parents is another great example. Were you consciously looking to get a reaction and did you find that the reactions you received actually spurred you on?

I guess I found that the reaction was different than it was for the other kids around me. So I would just kind of make a little rhyme up or a tune or something. The other kids just weren’t doing it so whether it was the teacher or the parents… I just did it for fun and effortlessly. I didn’t have to think about it too much but it did kind of turn peoples heads in a way like “What the fuck?! What’s up with Mr Rhymes over here!?”. It was just fun! And I’ve always been kind of fascinated with rhyming and to this day I rhyme different words, or I hear somebody say something and I go “Ooh, that guy just made a rhyme!”. Some people make rhymes and they don’t even catch it. They don’t realise they’ve just done it.

I think it’s great that you are tuned into that. You also just mentioned your teacher and also I think it’s wonderful the way you have recognised the difference your English teacher Charlotte Westby made and the impact that she had on you, especially around the passionate way she taught poetry. What was it she did and what do you remember about her?

I remember her so vividly! She was a very captivating presence. She looked like an old school ma’am, like an old lady and she dressed like an old lady. She had one arm shorter than the other and she would pick up her left arm with her right arm and put it on the podium. She just had this incredible passion for language, and my sister took her class and it was the class that everyone was afraid to take. She was such a hard teacher but such a good teacher that the cool kids didn’t want to have anything to do with her because it was hard and for some reason I was drawn to it. I liked the challenge but I wasn’t very competitive academically. But I knew that there was something there that I was feeding off of and she was strict and she could be kind of mean! I remember falling asleep in her class and the kind of verbal abuse she would give me. It wasn’t a class for the dummies or the cool kids, it was mostly the more ambitious students I suppose for lack of a better expression. It wasn’t one of those things where it was like it’s so hard and I need this credit so bad or anything like that. It was more like this is different than all my other classes because not only was it very difficult but but it gave me some sense of I’m actually learning something that might come in handy someday, I suppose! (Laughs!)

That’s a wonderful picture that you have painted there! As you went on to have enormous success, did you ever get a chance to tell Charlotte the difference she’d made?

No, I did not. She was pretty old when I was in high school, but at one point I do remember hearing that she was still around. I think I had mentioned her name in an interview long before the book came out and I got a lot of feedback from people just walking down the street, because she was at that school which is not that far away from where we are right now, for many, many years. So she had a many generations of people coming through her class, and just mentioning her name in an interview saw people coming up to me and saying “Oh yeah, I had Charlotte Westby’s class” and we’d exchange stories of how we got through it!

It’s nice that you weren’t intimidated like other people might have been. I think what’s really interesting is that for someone who is such a gifted songwriter and a sculpture of words, you actually prefer to listen to instrumental music. Can you see how surprised people may be to hear that?

Yeah! It’s just sort of something that kind of happened. I had just kind of gotten to the point where no one was really saying anything new to me, particularly when there’s other people around. So if I’m hanging out with some people and there’s music playing the voice will conflict or distract from what people are saying. If I’m listening to instrumental music the words and the voices of the people in the room kind of become the vocal track. They take up that space and it all goes together a little bit better for me instead of people trying to talk over somebody singing. I’m pretty partial to jazz music and I was kind of raised with a lot of jazz music. So there’s a comfort zone for me there where it’s probably not for – I don’t want to say a lot of people my age – but people who aren’t jazz enthusiasts or something. It makes sense to me because I started listening to and then playing the trumpet in third grade so I kind of know the ins and outs of the standards. I’ll go and see a jazz band and think “Oh shit, I played that song in high school”, so there’s all this kind of passing on of the standards in the music. It’s as enticing to me as rock music or music with a singer.

Just focusing on the songs and the lyrics themselves one thing that really struck me is how seeing them written down in a book gives him a whole new perspective. To give my first example, Long Day is a fast up-tempo song which is great to sing along to but see the words on a page gives a real poignancy and actually, for me, becomes something hugely thought-provoking. Was this something you wanted to achieve in creating the book, and perhaps for people to see deeper into your soul?

I think somewhere in the back of my mind there’s always been this kind of wish that it would feel right or read well on a piece of paper. I’m not exactly sure where that comes from. It probably comes from things like reading Bob Dylan’s lyrics and going ‘this works on paper’, you don’t even need to know the song – you can still read the lyrics and get the whole gist of it. So yes, when I finish the lyrics to a song I kind of step back and I look at it. Not only does the lyric have to sing but for me it would be nice to think that you might actually be reading a piece of poetry and you didn’t even know there was music attached to it and that you actually got something out of it.

The song Long Day is very much about a teenager who is just trying to make sense of everything and who is perhaps a little jaded. It’s lyrically quite dark but I would suggest it’s as relevant today as it was in the 80s and perhaps representative of how so many teenagers may be feeling. I say that because I have a teenage son and in reading those lyrics I spotted my son in there. You say in the book that this song begins with ‘a character’ almost as if it’s fictional, but I’m guessing there was something highly autobiographical at the core of these words. Is that a fair thing to say?

Oh, absolutely! If I’m not doing something that is personal to me yet personable to someone else it doesn’t have the same effect like if I’m writing like I’m a news reporter and commenting on somebody else’s situations. So I’m putting myself into these situations in a way that there’s visceral or emotional kind of things are going on. That’s really interesting, I have an 18-year-old and it had never even occurred to me that he would look at my lyrics and see himself in there. But it’s interesting to play with the whole situation where you’re telling a story that’s mostly fiction but where you’re kind of a character in the story, just by the virtue of the fact that you’re observing it and being affected by it and that sort of becomes part of the song somehow.

The lyrics that follow for songs such as Voodoo Doll, Money Talks, Stranger and Sick Of That Song all have elements of rebellion, of challenging and of just trying to make sense of everything. But with Walking, we begin to see someone who is starting to see a clearing and who sees a future. I could spend hours talking to you about every single song here but I think what I would like to suggest is that the lyrics to each of these 150 songs overall shows the incredible journey that you’ve been on as a songwriter, as an artist and quite simply a person. To what extent you think that’s a fair thing to say?

Well I think it’s really funny that you had said that the first song in the book you sensed a teenager trying to make sense of it all and I was just working on a song yesterday and it seems like I’m a person who now has a teenager… that’s still trying to make sense of it all! (Laughs!) That’s a fascinating thing to hear!

I don’t know if it feels the same for you but when I look at what my son is going through, I feel like I am living a second teenage life but I also think ‘I’m sure it wasn’t this hard when I was a teenager’! It almost feels harder to be a teenager now than what it did back then. When I see the amount of pressure that my 16-year-old is under I don’t remember my teenage years being like that.

Well the first thing that comes to my mind is just imagine when you’re a teenager and dealing with all this internet information that’s flying about all over the place, feeling like you’ve got to keep up with it or you’re just kind of pushed into it. I was talking to somebody the other day and they were just like ‘Oh my God! Thank God I didn’t have all that distraction when I was a kid’. So I think that’s just one thing that teenagers have to deal with these days and it doesn’t even register when I go ‘Fuck, you know, you didn’t have a graduation because of Covid’. Homeschooling is something that I think people think about a lot because people are so frustrated with the education system. But these kids got homeschooled whether they liked it or not! It’s got to be more difficult to keep up with the class when you’re at home and you may have more flexibility as far as whether or not you have to get your assignment done on time!

Hurry Up And Wait

Well that does bring me to the next thing I’d like to talk about which is the new album Hurry Up And Wait. I think one incredibly wonderful quality is how massively uplifting this album is right from the opening track The Beginning. Lyrics such ‘this is the beginning of a great adventure, now is not the time to step aside’ are hugely uplifted and empowering. With track 2 ‘If I Told You’ we enjoy the words ‘I’ve seen every shade of grey but I can’t wait another day for summer to come around’ and talking about being ready to love. Track 3 ‘I Got It Pretty Good’ has a very direct message: ‘it’s time to shine’! These are just some examples but overall I think this album shows a band in a fantastic place with a real sense of contentment and excitement for the future. To what extent would you agree with that?

Yes, I talk about black gospel music a lot as far as something that I really am affected by especially in the street music of New Orleans. I lived in New Orleans for 20 years with that kind of thing in the back of the head as far as This music is so joyful and so filled with hope and it’s often performed in a situation where you know the people have a hard, hard life and this is what they do to express their gratitude. It’s a celebration of life expressed in music, and I kind of wanted that a little bit more as I got older. It seemed like I had bitched and moaned and complained about everything and been this kind of punk rock person that fucking hated everything. There was so much anger and vile notions going on but I thought I needed to take a step back and really have a look at just how much there is that I really need to bitch about, and maybe I should take inventory of some of the better things and the things that do happen in your life that don’t suck, for lack of a better expression! (Laughs!)

It is such a strong album and one that’s been the soundtrack to my summer. The one thing that I do to keep fit is running. I listen to Hurry Up And Wait whilst running and I find that I’m running faster and I’m running further!

That’s a really interesting thing to me! I had a next door neighbour in New Orleans who ran every day and he always had AirPods in and I asked him what he was listening to and he said techno. He said “It’s all techno, I don’t want to be too distracted, I need a tempo and I run to the tempo. I don’t want to focus on the music, I just want the beat”. And then I was in the airport and there’s this big muscular guy in front to me and he leaned down to take something out of his bag and I noticed that he had a System Of A Down record. I mention to him that this was an interesting choice and he said “Oh man, it’s so great to lift weights too!”. (Laughs!) That really fascinates me because I don’t see music in that kind of a way but I’m also someone who can’t read while there’s music playing because it’s distracting. It’s interesting to me how music can sometimes be background music to people, like when I worked as a cook the radio was always on and it just distracted from the mundane nature of the job. No one was changing the stations to find something good, it was just background noise and there’s just so many different kind of applications where they can really enhance the situation or I can distract from the situation. Then again, I’m not like a lot of people where I will put a record on. I only listen to vinyl, I don’t mind getting up and turning the record over - it’s not that big of a deal! I’ll put it on and sit right in the middle of the two speakers and just listen to the record. That’s something I’ve done my whole life and I don’t think it’s that common anymore. I think it’s more a kind of ‘I’m going to stream background music and not really think about what I’m listening to’. That’s very different than going through 300 albums and putting something on and going ‘this is what I need to hear right now’.

Well the fantastic news is that 8th November sees Soul Asylum commencing an 8 date UK tour, starting in Southampton and ending in Digbeth on the 16th November and you will be sharing the stage with the incredible Everclear. The excitement that is bubbling away here in the UK is huge and there’s a massive sense of anticipation over this tour. What does it mean to be coming back to the UK and what can fans expect from a Soul Asylum show in 2022?

Well, that’s good to hear! I just have no idea, it’s been so long since we’ve been over there. No one will be more pleased than me if we are accepted. I just don’t know what the band’s status is in the UK and I’m bracing to be playing and having bottles thrown at me! (Laughs!) You never know! It would be nice if people come and really enjoy it! England has always been a tough nut to crack, always very shifting and its tastes towards what is hip and what is cool. There’s a trend thing that goes on where bands can be sort of chewed up and spit out and it’s just a little bit different in America. There’s plenty of haters everywhere and there’s plenty of taste meisters everywhere. The only thing I can sort of look at is the bands that come out of these places and it’s always a mixed bag in terms ‘do we fit in and are people still listening to this kind of music?’. But it’s good to know that there are people who still want to go and see people playing the drums, play guitars and not do a track show.

For my final question, I would like to return to Loud Fast Words. In the book you say have you found it easier to express yourself and communicate through songs. I think what you’ve also been able to do is connect with so many people who can absolutely relate to your words and as a result you’ve given them a voice they might not otherwise have had. How does it make you feel to know your words have had this impact?

It makes me feel like I’m passing something on. Throughout my life I’ve been so deeply affected and impacted by the lyrics of Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young. I’ve got so much invested in there and that’s how it sort of shaped my world. So if I could sort of pass that on that’s a pretty big part of my mission and it’s really cool if that is in fact what I’m doing!

Runaway Train

As our conversation draws to a close, we reflect upon what a hugely important book Loud Fast Words really is and how we almost feel a sense of responsibility to invite you to immerse yourself in a copy and feel that overwhelming sense of enjoyment yourselves. The latest album Hurry Up And Wait is Soul Asylum presented in the most uplifting way and it’s with the highest of recommendations that we invite you to grab a ticket for the UK tour.
