Dean guitars! Love the quality of their guitars.
Watching School of Rock and being mind blown by the soundtrack.
We were just starting to write new songs, but everything has been put on hold since the pandemic. Will resume activities eventually!
Yesterday, I heard the first song Doggo out of my friends Thick Glasses first album. It sounds pretty solid, I feel like I'm gonna hear them all over the radio soon! Actually have a lot of friends bands that sounds amazing with material good enough to break out. Wish this pandemic didn't happened to see them grow from the music they had just released or were about to record (to name a few Venomenon, Dizastra, Mooch, Warsenal, Fast Idle)
It was Ox! We spent hours going through that list of band names, then smoke breal happened and he said Chemical Way. It was instant pick when we heard it
The only "tour" we did was going to play Oshawa and Toronto over a weekend in march 2017 with Canceric. We were in our motel room in Toronto, waiting to reach the venue, playing a card game and having a couple drinks, until we realized we had finished our 26oz of whisky and we were super drunk. We didn't wanted to drive in that condition, so we asked a guy from Canceric to drive our van to the show. Brought a pack of beers in the van so It would stay cold for after the show, but when I came out of the van, I kick the beers out to the grounds and one of the cans started pissing so I reached to it and shotguned the rest of the beer CAUSE NO WASTE OF BEERS IS ACCEPTABLE! Finished it like a champ only to turm around to 2 police officers watching me. Got us a little nervous, but everything went fine, we had a good night that night!
Municipal Waste, Cross Examination, Warbringer, Dr. Living Dead, Terror, Gama Bomb.
Foufounes Électrique, Petit Campus and Katacombes was pretty dope to play to in Montreal, but we always had a good time playing in Quebec City, always some action going on in the crowd!
We write our songs for our personal pleasure, because we want to listen to the product after it's recorded, not just put out an album. I think this gives a good drive to the writing process. It brings all the pleasure when you finally hear what it's going to sound like.
I'm about to record a new album real soon with my other band Katö.
Leave that ego on the side. Your idea is not always the best idea, and listening to what your friends has to say can unlock a door sometimes.
We don't really talk about politics in our songs. We find there's something generic to it since a lot of bands talks about it. There's a good side to life too, party with your friends that is, and we're about that. There's enough bullsh*t in this world and not enough partying!
Having fun with your friends is the best foundation of a band. No pressure, no worries, no competition, just you and your friends doing the music that you all like. That's when the good ideas starts to get in the writing process!
It was an amazing experience! We didn't had our chance to play Foufounes Electriques before, which was something we wanted to accomplish, as well as opening for a band that had an influence on us. We are big fans of Warbringer, also really like Enforcer, so it was an honor opening for both of these bands. Our friends and fans pretty much all showed up that night, the crowd looked and felt like a packed show on a saturday night… on a Monday night! One of the best nights of my life EVER!
We're all fans of Sci-Fi and action movies, and wanting to have different and original lyrics made us write about these topics.
That investing time and money, and working harder on your project makes a better product! There's Katö (Bull Royce's other project) recording an album next week, other than that, there isn't much going on.
We didn't talk to him much, but he did a phenomenal job mixing that album we recorded at Scott's basement! It took him about 2 weeks to mix and master. He came out woth the exact sound we wanted! We're really happy about the product!!
We definitely would like to write a new Chemical Way album in the future. We had a lot of fun doing the other ones, and we'll have fun doing the next one too, I'm sure of that! Just gotta wait for the right time!
