![]() As a musician, it was like a little under the radar. Just because you walked outside your door, and I'd never really thought about it. It's not New York's fault, it was really to do with me becoming so well-known on MTV and stuff. Idol: Yeah, I'd actually come out to Los Angeles from New York where I've been living a bit of a vampire existence. And yeah, it came out really great, that's the thing about "Bitter Taste," it really came out great.īaltin: Now with that perspective are there things you see differently about that time that you may not have even thought about 30 years ago? So I've had 30 years to reflect on it and really sort of come to terms with it and be able to talk about in a song really. So the motorcycle accident was something I could write about that was a big crisis in my life, that was a bit of a watershed moment and also, yeah, it changed my life a little bit. I always said it'd be great when it's 20 years or 30 years away from the motorcycle accident, just because it's so far in the back mirror and then I did manage to recover okay. So, I just thought, like, "Well, I can't really write." Then I started to think about, "Well, what can I write about? That was a big moment in my life, like a crisis moment, a problem time, something where I had to readjust my whole life in a way, once it happened." Then I started to think about the motorcycle accident. Anyway, there was all that going on, but it was a lot of confusion as well. A producer, Andrew Watt, he was one of the first people I knew who's a young man, who's nothing wrong with him, and he got the Coronavirus really badly, so much so he had to go to the emergency room. So we really didn't know a lot, and so I thought, "Well, I wanna write something that people could identify with during this time." I could see that there's already people dying and everything, and some people I knew had got it really badly, some young people that I knew. At that time, we really didn't know that much, and we all had hopes it would all be over by September or something. For me, when things happen, it always takes me a bit of time to kind of take them in, let them marinate, and then you can sort of write a song about them, but it doesn't always happen immediately. We were sort of writing the EP at the beginning of the Coronavirus, it was like May/June, when we were writing the EP last year 2020. ![]() They recently finished recording an EP, Sex, Drums & Rock ’n’ Roll, and some of their songs are featured in the soundtrack of Sweet Life, a film with Joan Jett.Spring 2023 Layoff Tracker: Meta, First Citizens Bank Axe Hundreds Of Jobsīilly Idol: Probably, a combination of those two things.
