This is Manafest. Welcome to another I’m a Fighter podcast episode 61! What’s up, what’s up? This is Manafest and welcome to another I’m a Fighter podcast where we want to entertain, inspire, and educate, and remind you that a fighter is not someone who never fails. A fighter is someone who never quits, baby! So stoked about this podcast episode. I am interviewing my buddy Joel Bruyere from Thousand Foot Krutch. He plays bass for them. We are working currently together actually on a new record on some HipHop stuffs! I told you that I’m doing a Hiphop record and don’t hate if you don’t like the Hiphop because we are doing a rock record right after. We are going to be cranking out way more music than I used to. But anyways, I am excited about this interview because we talked about perseverance, we’ll talked about life, stuff that’s Joel is going through. You are really going to dig this so I am not going to waste any time. Let’s jump into it right now. Alright so Joel thank you so much dude for taking the time to do an interview. I know you are busy, lots of things, music, touring, life. And do you want to just give me an update on what’s going on in your world for the listeners on what’s happening to you lately? Joel: I mean to be completely honest I’ve just been sitting around waiting for this call to happen so that I could talk through this process with everyone because it’s that much fun. Manafest: Well hey dude stoked to take the time to rock! You’ve been touring with TFK doing some shows, The Ship Rock thing. You’ve got some crazy stuff going on there with life and now back home working on studio stuff. But are you comfortable of sharing some of the craziness that went on on the ship? Joel: You know what; I’ll explain it and share it in this fashion. At 17 years for me touring with TFK, I’m in my 17th year now and I can honestly say that you think you’ve seen, heard or done it all. And just when you think that happens something new comes along. And you’re just like, “Wow, I did not see that being part of the story.” Yeah, it was crazy. We had that trip cut a little bit shorter than we have wanted to. It’s all new. You know the process of moving in to the United States what that means as a Canadian. Manafest: For sure! Joel: And it’s amazing blasting an opportunity. At the same time there are so many hoops to jump through. I am just thankful that, we’re home, we’re safe. And yeah touring has been pretty crazy and fairly new record out. So we are looking towards more extensive spring touring as well. Fortunately I have been home. I’ve been able to work on some beautiful music with you. Manafest: Yeah man! The oxygen and hail record dude. I’ve been… I don’t know if I told you this that I’ve been doing that radio show every week and we’ve been playing Born this Way and On Traveled Road a lot which is really dope. People have been really digging that and stoked that you guys are already working on some new stuff too soon right? Joel: We are already actually I just received more stuff again over the night. Trev’s – he’s been at it like crazy. I would say that we are, we have enough material for the record now for the next record. Manafest: Nice!
