536 Unexpected Messages

The radio program is playing "Kill the Hero. your。 heroes)", the band members all started drinking water to relax their throats. The studio door was opened, and Henry, who didn't know when he would return, beckoned to Neil and called him out, and Samora then walked in, looking in Hugo's direction and asking with his mouth, "Coffee?"

Hugo looked back at his rival beside him, "Which of you wants coffee?" Both Fouquin and Pedro nodded, Alfonso shook his head, and Hugo made a "three" gesture to Samora.

Soon, Samora came in with three cups of coffee, but Neil and Henry were still 'mingling' outside, and Hugo couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Was there any accident just now?"

Samora looked at Hugo's gaze to know what he was asking, he put the coffee on the table, and said in a low voice, "I don't know, but Henry seems to have heard some rumors and wants Neil to pay attention to it during the interview......"

Hugo nodded, in fact, in the process of the promotion of Glory to Death, Henry almost did not restrict the content of media interviews, the most important thing is naturally because the media is unwilling to be restrained under the banner of "freedom of speech", and there is no weakness that cannot be mentioned now, so Henry is completely open to all questions. However, when encountering some sensitive topics, Henry will still remind them, such as the recent incident of "Schindler's List", Henry 'communicated' with Hugo, and after making sure that Hugo's attitude was fine, he would leave it alone.

The interview soon resumed, and Jojo said in a cheerful voice, "Welcome back to the show, the song 'Strangling Heroes' comes from glory to death, which also gave us a preliminary understanding of the band's rock 'spirit', 'Never let your fear determine your fate...... such lyrics are really inspirational." Hugo, I found that many of the band's songs have a positive and sunny attitude, which is one of the characteristics of the band. ”

"You can say that." Hugo smiled and nodded, and then Neil came back and returned to his position lightly, "Actually, this is one of the goals of our band, chasing the dream of music, no one knows what the end will be waiting for, so keep 'motivating' ourselves to continue to persevere, which is an important motivation for us to continue to move forward." ”

"Your words remind me of the Glory to Death road tour that lasted for more than 100 days, and wow, this is really a huge project, and it feels incredible just by imagining it." Jojo's exclamation immediately made the band members laugh and echo, "So, Fokine, what do you think is the most incredible thing about the band's tour?"

"Persevered to the finish line." "I was the drummer of another band for a new day, and we had planned a road tour, but the whole project was not as big and cumbersome as Glory to Death, but in the end we still couldn't stick to it. Then I came to Glory to Death Hugo to make this proposal, I knew how difficult the process was, but I didn't expect it, we persevered to the end, and we succeeded. ”

Fokine is usually not a talker, Jojo just threw the topic to Fokine on a whim, and originally thought that he would continue to ask Pedro about the next one, but now he has a windfall, "You used to be a drummer for a new day?"

Fokine didn't think much about it at all, because this matter was actually not a secret in the underground rock circle, and he didn't need to hide it, so he just admitted it neatly, "Yes." ”

Jojo's eyes lit up at once, because Glory to Death has only been promoted for less than half a month, so there are endless insider stories about the band to dig up, but he didn't expect him to dig a breaking point today, "A new day is a very famous grunge band in the Los Angeles area, and I heard that they signed a new league (new. alliance), which is working on his debut album. You used to be a drummer for a fresh day, so why did you leave the band?"

New Alliance Records, which is a sub-label of SSTP Chang Films. Founded in l978, SSTP Changpian is the flagship of American independent record labels, and this company has signed all the hottest or most nostalgic bands in the American alternative music scene. SSTP's greatest achievement is to bring hardcore punk to the mainstream American market, and has had a huge impact on American rock for nearly two decades; And the year they launched grunge rock was two years earlier than Nirvana, and for the sensitive sense of rock music, SSTP Changpian is definitely the top in the industry.

For any underground rock band, SSTP is like a temple. Of course, independent record labels such as SSTP Changpian also face a serious problem, that is, their lack of distribution channels and lack of promotional resources often make it impossible for bands to achieve satisfactory album sales, but their bands will get the attention of the industry, thus attracting the attention of the big record labels, and the coveted big record labels will wave high checks to poach the corners.

It can be said that the chances of a band like Glory to Death being able to directly get the favor of EMI Records are very small, and EMI Records is actually willing to abandon the 'obsession' with sales and charts, and wholeheartedly support the music that belongs to the band, which is even more rare.

Of course, this also needs historical timing, and EMI Records has given a lot of support to the 'sexual' alt-rock such as Radiohead and Glory to Death in the past two years, and also hopes to open up a world in the American music market. Otherwise, at other points in time, EMI Records, like other large companies such as Universal Music and Warner Records, will build albums based on sales and profitability as the first criterion.

Therefore, the signing of SST, the new alliance record label under Chang Film, is definitely a sensational news in the Los Angeles underground rock circle. However, the glory to death has been either propaganda or practice for the past two days, so I have not heard of it.

Hearing Jojo's words, Hugo's first reaction was not to look at Forkin, but at Neil, and sure enough, he saw Neil's slightly frowning brow, it seems that Henry was worried about this matter just now.

How did Fokine leave New Day, although he didn't say it himself, but the Los Angeles underground rock scene is such a big place, and everyone has known it for a long time, and after the New Day fired Fokine and re-formed, the momentum has been very good, and now he has signed a new league record, which seems to be announcing "Look, without Fokine, our band not only has no loss but also has a stronger ......".

If a new day appears in front of Fujin in the future, I don't know how it will be ridiculed. Of course, the current momentum of Glory to Death is much better than that of a new day, and as long as Glory to Death can continue to succeed, a new day is not to be a concern.

Hugo and Neil both looked at Fokine, Neil obviously didn't expect this question to come so suddenly, he didn't even have time to 'socialize' with Fokine 'privately', Jojo was already in trouble here, so now it can only be up to Fokine to deal with it.

Seeing that Fukine's expression didn't change much, he said calmly, "They kicked me out of the band and then reformed the band." "Fokine has no intention of hiding it, nor does he have any intention of exposing the new day, he just said the result very calmly, this is Fokine's 'nature'.

Jojo was choked by Fokine's words, and asked tentatively, "Kicked you out of the band?" The reason?"

Fujin raised his head and glanced at Jojo, but did not speak immediately, but looked at his teammates who were looking at him with a worried face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly, "Because the band members are constantly drinking too much, and I want to be able to keep the tour going, but they don't think it makes any sense, and there are some conflicts between them." In the end, I left the band. ”

Fujin still continued his usual attitude, without concealment, but also without exaggeration. In fact, in Fokine's view, it was indeed painful and struggling when he left a new day, but he had let go of the past and embarked on a new path of his own future. Now he is a member of the glorious death, and he is proud of his identity, so he doesn't have much affection for the success of the new day, whether positive or negative.

Although Forkine said it simply, Jojo could hear the infinite meaning hidden in the simple content, he thought for a moment, and asked, "So what do you think about your previous band's signing to the record label?"

"Hopefully they'll be able to keep it up." Forkin's words made Alfonso not hold back for a moment, and he laughed out loud.

Generally speaking, in the face of such a problem, it is either to express one's blessing in the scene, or to scold and express one's disfavorability, of course, more people will choose the former to express their broad heart'. But Fokine did not choose either, but expressed his concerns honestly, just like Fokine's personality, he will not dwell on the past so that he cannot find the direction of the future, but he will not be afraid to face any provocation. Therefore, Fujin said his attitude straight and "up" and "upright".

Not only Alfonso, but even Hugo and Neil couldn't help but laugh, only Pedro, who was half a beat slower, did not 'figure' the situation. Qiao Qiao was a little crying and laughing, but he still said in time, "Then let's wait and see." "The duel between the future glory to death and a new day is probably going to be a good show.

After this conversation, Jojo forgot about his original plan, and he took the opportunity to play the next song, "Don't be upset about the past." look。 ba。 anger)”。 Hugo firmly believes that Jojo playing the song at this moment, apparently on purpose, absolutely!
