What's up, guys? Leslie Robbins here for Young Hollywood in Miami Beach, Florida, and I am in the studio with Space Between Words.

Feel your skin through against mine. Don't you want to feel a most kiss of twine.

I am with the four guys of Space Between Words.

I'm Steve, I sing. I'm Verdi, I play guitar. I'm Q, I play bass. I'm Rob, I play drums.

All right, we are in your home away from home, Magnetron Studios. I feel like you're building, I don't know, spaceships or transformers in here.

Well, it's kind of like a space lab so to speak. This is uh Max Active Guitars and we actually have our studio right behind us. I'm going to go and kind of give you a tour of that.

All right, show me around your playhouse.

All right. Here we go.

Now one thing I read about you guys when you first built the studio that you wanted it to massage your creativity.

I think if anything it's made us tighter as a band. We get to come here whenever we need to. It allows it to experiment. This kind of ability to clash sounds with all of these instruments is just it's like magic.

But gentlemen, be honest, spending that much time together in such a tight space. We massage your creativity, but sometimes it's with closed fist. You guys have only been together about three years. Talk about the very beginning. How the four of you found each other?

Um, well, uh we found Robert on a dating site actually. I was going to bring that up but I didn't want to, you know, embarrass him. We actually all grew up with each other. We all like music and I was living in Italy for for about five years and I came back and We wanted to play one show just to kind of have fun because he was kind of visiting. And the one show kind of turned into several shows and, you know, Never went back. Yeah, he never he never went back. He was like, you know what? This is kind of sounding cool. So here we are now. I left a lot of stuff there, I'm not kidding. So a lot of my friends have my things. Eventually I do have to go back. Yeah, so it'll be a tour and uh moving at the same time. So.

Oh when your mind is not stable. Oh when your soul is not able.

So, your sound if I could put it into two words, old soul.

Uh we get a lot of comparisons to psychedelic 70's rock kind of music. Uh some of our big influences are The Doors, Rush, things like that.

And you guys were called uh something quite cute from the Village Voice.

Yeah, yeah. Um we were just recently called by the Village Voice uh that we had a very similar sound to the Cold War Kids, which was really cool. We get compared to Weezer a lot too from journalists. Weezer and Pixies, which is, you know, also very cool cuz we grew up like loving that. I think that's actually what got me into playing with these guys was he introduced me to the Pixies and that was like completely Yeah, that blew my mind after that.

Is not able. I am here.

And your producer Daniel Wills. Talk about being in good company.

Yeah, Daniel was amazing. He mostly worked with us producing the EP Valley of the Lizard King. When we write music, I'll I'll write something, I'll bring it to the guys and they will beat it and shape it into what they wanted to sound like based on their individual influences. And it was great to have him as a fifth band member, you know, uh just to kind of say you can do this on guitar and you can do that on drums and it was great to have that level of musicianship approach us and approach our songwriting.

Something new. Oh when your mind is not stable.

He's in his DNA, everything?

Yeah, yeah. Um his father was the bass player in Foreigner, he also went on tour with uh Styx if I'm correct. He was a tour manager for them. It's he's had music in his blood for a very, very long time. So we were very, very lucky to have him.

Let's talk about the tours that you guys have done, the festivals, you hit South by Southwest, we were there. How was your experience?

We really love awesome. We love Texas in general, but South by Southwest is just like music heaven. You never want to leave if you're a musician. Um you get withdrawal when you when you're on your way back. Being on tour is just so eye opening. Definitely looking forward to doing our next tour uh which should be coming up pretty soon. So. Yeah, we're we're setting up uh summer dates right now. We also want to do another college tour. We're constantly working. We just released a music video, vinyl record, a live EP. We're kind of like a factory, we're always putting stuff out.

Oh when your soul is not able. I am here.

Well, you brought up vinyl. Not many bands put out vinyl anymore.

I accredit Jack White to a lot of it. He's done this great revivalism. I think fans are more receptive when it's not just a CD or digital, but this kind of different sound and a different kind of collector's object. And there's just something that connects you to all the different folks that released music back then. You know, you're part of that history.

And let's talk about your involvement with Subway. They have hooked you up and not just with sandwiches.

We were chosen as one of their Artista Fresco's amongst several other amazing artists. Enrique Iglesias, Jessica Sanchez. Yes, Adaka is another one as well. It's great. They they hooked us up with our tour and a lot of free food, which is always great. Uh when you're on the road.

Speaking of, I figured you guys would be starving and I did my research. Steven Meatball Marinara with extra Swiss cheese. Yes. Verdi. Subway Club. Basic. Cuz he's healthy. Q, Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. It's a good one. Robert, Italian BMT. I love it. And for me, whole wheat turkey lettuce and avocado. Kind of basic. All right, jamming with Space Between Words, chatting and now having lunch. Cheers.

Cheers. Cheers. Here we go. Hmm. Word. That was delicious.
