0:00.0	Hey guys, Scott here and I'm back with another episode of the SBL podcast. But before we even get
0:04.3	into this, I've got to give you a behind the seams. Well, I can't give you a glimpse, but at least
0:08.8	an audio glimpse into what we've got going on in the studio today. In a nutshell, a couple of
0:14.3	days ago, we had a humongous flood in the studio where I would estimate like 10 baths worth of water was poured onto the floor.
0:24.6	So, Gav, Gav, oh, we've switched it off, haven't we, Gav?
0:28.0	We've been sucking water off the floor with this power hoover thing.
0:32.9	What's it called a Vax?
0:34.2	Yeah, we're sucking it out.
0:35.9	Well, Gav's been sucking out. So, there you go. I've been there in spirit. Anyway,

It's I believe in a thing called love, not I believe in whatever share I was singing about. So the new album, it was produced by
1:28.6	Grammy Award winning Adrian Bushby, who's worked with the Foo Fighters and Muse and dudes like that.
1:34.1	And they've got a brand new member in this album as well, Rufus Tiger Taylor. Yes, I'll just
1:38.9	say that again because it's an epic name, Rufus Tiger Taylor. I do think I should be called
1:42.8	Scott Leopard Divine. But anyway, but Rufus is son of theufus Tiger Taylor. I do think I should be called Scott Leopard Divine. But anyway,
1:44.7	but Rufus is son of the Queen Legend Roger Taylor. And Rufus is playing drums on the album.
