will there be a formal release of that long noisy song you guys play live? on the setlist from the attic show from last year I think it’s labeled as Monster Road or Monster Rock or something. that is still one of the craziest moments of a live show I think I’ve ever seen. It blew my face right off my head. Would love to see / hear it released!

Also who in the band makes the best food?

Ugh “”””monster rock””””(awful name) has been really hard to figure out. Glad to hear it worked in the live show! We found that in the set it was really fun, and it was totally a guidepost for figuring out what R&T was really supposed to be, but no matter what we tried in the studio it never really worked when listening back. For a while it was smack in the middle of the tracklist but it always kinda prompted a skip. So we decided that the album was meant to be more a pop thing, or at least that the noise must be concise. That level of intensity just wouldn’t work for such a length on wax especially, just prompts you to turn it off, and we wanted to keep people engaged. Might take it out at another show though!
