00:00They were thinking about putting the edible marijuana in here so no one would know it was edible marijuana.
00:05Allegedly, I've seen him run around his whole entire bus in his underwear looking for crap.
00:09I'm always the asshole that has to tell people what to do, and so I'm hated in general.
00:30All right, Witherfall tour bus. Come on in.
00:48All right, what's up everybody? My name is Anthony Crawford, basis for Witherfall, and we're going to start this off by giving you guys a tour of the bus.
00:56So here's our TV, which we've only used I think one time, and it was because we were in the alien, where were we at Jake?
01:08Roswell. Roswell. And we were in the parking lot for a day. I'm not making this up by the way.
01:14We were in the parking lot for a day in Albertson's parking lot. This TV was our entertainment.
01:20So we watched Hercules for some reason. I don't know why. We just watched Hercules all day.
01:26So we're working on a second show at some point before we're done with this tour.
01:32But so far Hercules has only been shown on this TV, so.
01:34No drugs for consumer. You're all lying, boss, while you were watching Hercules.
01:38Well, I mean, I didn't get to that part yet. So Hercules was on, and we just enjoyed the show.
01:46There's only one reason you watch Hercules.
01:48Only one reason to watch Hercules.
01:50I mean, it moves to the middle of nowhere.
01:53As you can see, we have a lot of cups. I'm going to start off with this cup because I'm talking.
02:00Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a hardcore Ninja Turtle fan. Our lead vocalist knew it as well.
02:06So as soon as I got on the bus, the first thing he gave me was this Ninja Turtle cup that I have yet to use.
02:12It's a souvenir. Thank you, boss.
02:16He gave this guy, our lead guitarist, the Chucky. Oh, he's been using this one.
02:21The Chucky cup. And the reason why is because he looks like Chucky when he's rambling through the bus late at night in his underwear.
02:29Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.
02:31Allegedly, I've seen him run around his whole entire bus in his underwear looking for crap. Allegedly.
02:39This is our merch girl. It actually kind of looks like her a little bit.
02:43So, yeah.
02:47Also, yeah, just in case, of course we have our stuff. You know, merch, stickers, things like that.
02:55Don't forget the rompers.
02:57So, our lead singer has a black cat. It's very beautiful, by the way.
03:05He couldn't bring his cat on tour, so he brought a sub, a sub particular cat. And just left him up here.
03:13He watches over us. He watches over us with his green eyes. And he judges Jake as he's rumbling around the bus.
03:21He's just looking at him like this.
03:23Tons of disapproval. Exactly.
03:27So, we'll start with the freezer.
03:32I use this to rest my hand because I'm suffering from Corpal Tunnel after being in Salt Lake in Denver with the altitude.
03:39So, that's what that's for. I think these have been in here before we even got on the bus.
03:45So, that's probably from another van.
03:47Check out the fridge.
03:49Dude, where's all the wine?
03:51Dude, where's all the wine?
03:53Oh, well...
03:55We need to make our...
03:57We have one bottle, so that's not gonna work for...
03:59Dude, we had six bottles yesterday.
04:01Where's all the wine?
04:03Some old food that needs to be thrown out.
04:07Oranges.
04:09Hot sauce that's missing caps.
04:13Cheese.
04:15Oh, sauerkraut. Very important.
04:19Somebody left something out here.
04:21I don't know what the hell is in there.
04:23From Gilder Night.
04:24Oh, yeah.
04:25This is like...
04:27Zero cents.
04:29This is stuff you give people when they say,
04:31Hey, can I have a burger?
04:33Probably what a homeless guy gave us.
04:35Probably gave us it after the show or something.
04:37Or we're doing rituals out here.
04:39Yeah, yeah.
04:40Oh.
04:41Yes, there is.
04:43And...
04:45Weirdly, it's actually pretty healthy for the most part.
04:48You know, you got your nuts and...
04:50That's because we ate all the cookies.
04:52Yeah, yeah.
04:53He ramshacks through the cookies looking like this guy right here.
04:55Eating all the sweets.
04:57But yeah, I mean, you know.
04:59Protein bars, things like that.
05:01You know.
05:02For the most part, it's a pretty healthy band.
05:04Try to be.
05:05So this is what happens when the lead singer...
05:08Shares a bust with the band.
05:10His boots...
05:12Has to be front and center.
05:14Of everything.
05:16See what I'm saying?
05:17So when he gets his boots to put them on...
05:20For the show...
05:22He can look at the boots and be like,
05:23Yeah, I did this.
05:24So...
05:25Where are your boots?
05:26Where are your boots?
05:27Um...
05:28Right here too.
05:29My boots are right there too.
05:31We keep all the shoes up here off the floor.
05:34So no one...
05:35So us normal people...
05:36We have to...
05:37Excuse me.
05:38Us normal people have to improvise when we put our boots.
05:41You know, we have to like...
05:42Like for instance...
05:43Let me see.
05:44You know...
05:45This is a normal person's boots.
05:47This is...
05:48This obviously is not a lead singer's cabinet.
05:50Alright?
05:51We have to improvise.
05:53Excuse me.
05:54Here's my boots.
05:55Gotta improvise.
05:56You know, I have to put my boots up there with the plates.
05:59Joseph's boots?
06:01No.
06:02Front and center on top of the freezer where everyone can see them.
06:05In that big black cabinet behind the rumpus, there's more boots as well and a purple trench coat.
06:12This is...
06:13Oh.
06:14Sorry.
06:15Sorry rumpus.
06:16Sorry.
06:17Sorry rumpus.
06:18There's a lot of stuff in this bus man.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Yeah.
06:24He gets a whole entire cabinet to himself.
06:29I've got my wardrobe.
06:32Here's my wardrobe case.
06:34This wardrobe is insane.
06:37Same pants everyday.
06:38Same pants everyday.
06:40You don't...
06:41You don't want to get close.
06:42No, you guys.
06:43Let's see.
06:44It's tight.
06:45I think they were washed in 2017.
06:50Yeah.
06:51I think the last time you saw me, it's the last time you used the wash.
06:57They're going to just implode one day.
07:00Anyways.
07:01My wardrobe case.
07:03Yeah.
07:04Yeah.
07:05So we have to, you know, continually improvise and make space and stuff like that.
07:11Yeah.
07:12So let's take a look and see what's in the drawer.
07:17What do you got here?
07:19So this is our latest album.
07:21It, uh, released The Sounds of the Forgotten.
07:26So make sure you guys check it out.
07:3055 minutes of misery.
07:32Please buy our product.
07:34Melodic rock and roll misery.
07:37Anything you want to add to this?
07:41Well, this is, this one came out, what, 20... shit, what year are we in? 2024?
07:50So, brand new one.
07:52This comes out, we're still on tour.
07:54Signed at the merch booth.
07:56Welcome to the Witherfall office.
07:59I'm like the singer and sometimes tour manager.
08:05I'm always the asshole that has to tell people what to do.
08:08And so I'm hated in general by everyone on the tour.
08:12Well, this is because we're a bunch of smelly dudes.
08:15So that's a nice nutmeg candle.
08:18This is our pet pumpkin for which Jerry Hirschfeld, he drew a really fucking disturbing face and I don't know why.
08:27We have a lot of time on that.
08:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:30There's another mascot too.
08:31What the fuck is this?
08:32Bart?
08:33It seems Bart.
08:34I don't know how that happened, but...
08:37I know exactly how it happened.
08:39Where...
08:40It was while we were watching Earth.
08:42Yeah, there was no edible marijuana involved in that at all.
08:46In fact, they were thinking about putting the edible marijuana in here so no one would know it was edible marijuana.
08:53But they're still my gummies, hopefully, or I'm going to be dead when I get into that mug later.
08:58This is my nail polish.
09:01It's really good.
09:03These tennis balls are for when we're really drunk and we want to practice our knuckleball pitches.
09:09And these are all the drives for all the shows because hopefully we can get some live material out of this, which we have nothing yet.
09:18Well, pretty much this is for the equipment.
09:22So we kind of had to transition some of these bunks into like a little storage.
09:26So we're not toting the trailer on this tour.
09:30So technically, we're storing all of our stuff here.
09:34Which actually works out because...
09:36I mean...
09:37I don't know how you guys are going to do this, but it worked out.
09:40You know what I'm saying?
09:41So...
09:42Put our stuff here and we sleep over here.
09:44This is...
09:45These are our living quarters.
09:47So...
09:48This is my bunk.
09:50Literally.
09:51This is my bunk.
09:52Clothes, towels, typical stuff.
09:55You know...
09:56Chargers...
09:57Whatever.
09:58Um...
09:59I think this is Joseph's bunk.
10:03Yeah, it's a mess.
10:04Yeah, it's a mess.
10:05It's a mess.
10:06Yeah, yeah.
10:07So, you know, they're bunks.
10:08You know what I'm saying?
10:09We live here.
10:10They're all labeled too.
10:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:12So...
10:13Uh...
10:14Joseph...
10:15His name is JM666 for some reason.
10:17Uh...
10:18This is Chris, our drummers.
10:20Uh...
10:21And this is our...
10:22So the guy...
10:23This is Jerry.
10:24He's the keyboardist, guitarist, and vocalist.
10:27So this is his bunk.
10:29Uh...
10:30This is the lead guitar player's bunk.
10:33Uh...
10:34Our merch girls.
10:35And this is my bunk.
10:37So you remember when I was saying, uh...
10:39Our lead singer puts his shoes on the...
10:43Freezer?
10:44Well...
10:45He puts all of this stuff right here too.
10:48And I don't know whose shoes these are.
10:50So...
10:51Yeah.
10:52We managed to, uh...
10:54I mean, for the fact that it's like...
10:56I don't know what...
10:57Six or seven people on this bus.
10:58We kind of managed to keep it a little...
11:00Clean, if you want to call it that.
11:02So...
11:03To the best of our abilities.
11:04So this shower, uh...
11:05Is a life saver.
11:06Because after every show, we get the shower.
11:08It's not coming on the road.
11:10Uh...
11:11It's very hard to take showers.
11:12You have to find places.
11:13You have to find gyms.
11:14You have to run around.
11:15Oh, yeah.
11:16And this is the...
11:17The toilet.
11:18Bathroom.
11:19You know.
11:20Okay.
11:21Alright.
11:22Are you joining Witherfall on digital tour bus?
11:25Yeah.

11:28And we're sorry for the mess.
11:31Oh, and buy one of these hats while you're there.
11:34Yeah.
11:35Pick up our latest record, Sounds of Forgotten.
11:39Luckily, you can't smell through the camera.
11:43If you want any issues.
11:44If you want any issues for the camera to show you what you have to do.
11:45You want them to use and make up any issues.
11:46Be careful.
11:47Uh, and we do, too.
11:48Okay.
11:49We'll see you next time.
