OGM & Yeti |
this us-versus-them mentality, where it ' s like, I ' ve got to look out for myself. But this song says we’ ve got to come together. Because that ' s what matters. We need to support each other and come together for resistance.
theOGM: Yes. That ' s what it takes, man. And like you said, their job is to divide us as much as they possibly can. It ' s our job to realize that and know there ' s strength in numbers.

-try. We ' ll have ideas; these are things we ' re always thinking about, we ' re always talking about. If it were up to us, the song probably would have come out sooner because those things were happening during the time we |
IE: Yeti Bones, you started getting into punk and going to punk shows when you were about 18 and brought OGM into the fold. What about the punk rock scene did you find so exciting and alluring? |

wrote it. But it just goes to show you how much change we’ ve really had. We were talking about this four years ago, and today we ' re still in the same predicament, if not worse. It ' s just crazy.
IE: Yeah, it ' s nuts how relevant it is. I would’ ve never guessed the song was four years old. What I really like is that it feels like so much messaging we see promotes

this? It was like a drug. I was chasing that high. I needed more. Then when I found more, I was like, oh, shit, it ' s even crazier this time. So that was the sole purpose of those shows. Me first seeing it on the sidelines, watching like, whoa. Then progressively I ' m like, oh, I ' m in the chaos, too. I ' m diving off the stage. I ' m the one throwing beer, too.

Yeti Bones: Exactly. There ' s so much stuff going on in the moment that it just feels dangerous, like anything could happen. And I ' ve seen some shit happen that I ' m just like, whoa. It ' s beautiful chaos.
IE: OGM, what were your thoughts when Yeti came to you like, hey, you got to check this shit out?

We ' re from Jersey, and we were used to going to Jersey club parties and shit.
