00:00This is a traditional Scottish hat called the See You Jimmy hat.

00:03Admittedly, I don't need the wig at the back yet.

00:05This is the bathroom where you're only allowed to pee,

00:08which I'm pretty sure loads of people have told you that before.

00:42Welcome. Come on in.

00:44Come on in, dude.

00:46How's it going? I'm Scott.

00:47I'm Ali.

00:48And we are Bleed From Within.

00:50And we are on our very first ever North American Headline Tour right now.

00:54Yes, we are.

00:55And this is our bus.

00:56It's our first ever tour bus over here.

00:57We've had tour buses back in Europe and UK,

00:59but this is our first ever US tour bus.

01:02It's been bandwagon up to this point.

01:03And if you know what a bandwagon is,

01:05this is a considerable upgrade.

01:08But thanks to bandwagon.

01:11Cheers, guys.

01:12This is the main lounge.

01:14This is where everyone kind of hangs out.

01:15We've got a couple of TVs in here.

01:17I don't really watch TV though.

01:20The bus is at full capacity.

01:22There is 14 beds and there is 14 people on this bus

01:25because we're sharing a bus with Silosis,

01:28which is Ali's other band,

01:29and a full crew.

01:30So when everyone's on this bus,

01:32it's not quiet enough to watch TV, to be honest.

01:35Yeah, when everyone wakes up,

01:36this area that you're in right now,

01:38it's packed.

01:39And usually everyone's kind of standing

01:41and there's people sitting and all that.

01:42So on the days off, we have day rooms.

01:45We usually get hotels and stuff.

01:46And then when we arrive at venues,

01:48people are very quick to get into the venue

01:50and claim a desk space or a space to work or whatever.

01:54It's kind of just a place to sleep, to be honest.

01:56I mean, we do hang out in here,

01:57like, sit and catch up,

01:59have a coffee in the morning.

02:00But I would say it's just a place to sleep

02:02because of how many people are in here,

02:04to be honest.

02:04Yeah.

02:05Pretty boring, but...

02:06We haven't used the TVs too much.

02:08We haven't used games too much.

02:09The plan was to, like,

02:12on days off,

02:12to order in pizza

02:13and all hang out in here and watch movies and stuff.

02:16But the tours were right at the start of the tour,

02:19you know,

02:19and we've just not had a chance to do it yet.

02:21We definitely use these tables

02:22because we've got Tom, our content guy, on tour with us.

02:26Me and...

02:26This is usually his station.

02:28This is usually his station.

02:29And me and David, our bass player,

02:31and Craig, our guitarist,

02:32we also create video content.

02:34So we're, like, constantly on our laptops on tour.

02:36So these come in handy.

02:38And the fact that we have three, actually,

02:39we have one at the back,

02:40but that's sort of just like a dumping ground

02:42for everyone's bags.

02:43So it's hard to use it.

02:44Yeah, the bag is chaos back there.

02:45You'll see it.

02:45And you'll smell it as you go through as well.

02:47But, yeah, I've taken this one over here.

02:50You can see here the can of Iron Brew.

02:52Scotland's national beverage.

02:54This is a shout out to Iron Brew.

02:55By the way, give us some free fucking cans, right?

02:58It's not for lack of trying.

03:01But, yeah, I've stationed up here for a few days.

03:03Just been typing out some harshly worded emails.

03:06You know what I mean?

03:08And then we've got Jimmy hats as well.

03:10Yeah, we're doing VIP on this tour.

03:13And it's the first time we've ever done that.

03:14So we're trying to think of ways.

03:16It feels weird.

03:17People paying more money to meet us.

03:18That just doesn't...

03:19It feels weird.

03:20So we've tried to come up with, like, fun stuff for the VIP.

03:23And this is a traditional Scottish hat called the See You Jimmy hat.

03:27Admittedly, I don't need the wig at the back yet.

03:30But...

03:32It's the dumbest looking wig in the office.

03:35These have been going down a treat though.

03:37Get your VIPs.

03:39Get one of these.

03:40This is the most important thing on the bus.

03:42The coffee machine.

03:43He's pointing at the bottle of wine.

03:44Yes, the bottle of red wine.

03:47Yeah, coffee machine is the most important thing here.

03:49Because when everyone gets up in the morning,

03:50everyone's like...

03:53Everyone's like a zombie until they have their coffee.

03:55Apart from me.

03:56I'm the only person that I've ever met that doesn't drink coffee

03:59or doesn't need it in the morning.

04:00But I see all these guys,

04:01and like Kennedy says,

04:02they all come up and they come through here like this.

04:04Coffee.

04:05And then they push some buttons over here

04:07and then they drink whatever comes out

04:08and then they're all like,

04:08alright man, how's it going?

04:10Fun fact, Ally does not like hot drinks.

04:12Which is really bizarre.

04:13That's a nice general.

04:14I love cold drinks though.

04:15Which, if you look in this fridge here...

04:19We've got a...

04:19This is, I mean, this is the...

04:22the proper baby fridge, isn't it?

04:23This is the beer fridge, but...

04:25Once again, some more Iron Brew.

04:27Shout out to our friend Jacob,

04:28who dropped this stuff off to us.

04:29This is actually, yeah,

04:31US cans of Iron Brew.

04:33We've got a bunch of beer in here.

04:34We've got some twisted tea.

04:36You don't get this back in the UK,

04:37but this is like alcoholic iced tea.

04:40Packed full of sugar and absolutely terrible for you,

04:42but very tasty.

04:44But there's a whole load of non-alcoholic beers in here

04:47because we're being very sensible in this run.

04:48When we started sort of headlining for this album campaign,

04:51we kind of...

04:52I wouldn't say we were mad partiers before.

04:56Nah, just like a beer.

04:58We just enjoy a beer,

04:59but I think since September last year,

05:02we...

05:02It's just playing long sets,

05:0475 minutes, 80 minutes every night.

05:05It's kind of the longest we've ever done in our career,

05:08and...

05:08We're no spring chickens anymore, so...

05:10No, but it's...

05:12You definitely need to look after yourself

05:14when you're playing a set this long for this length of a tour.

05:17You know, an hour and 20 minutes for five weeks is tough.

05:21It's pretty hard going.

05:21So, I mean, that's the non-alcoholic stuff in there.

05:24Me and our bass player, Davey,

05:25we always make like overnight oats,

05:27so this is like a bag of fresh fruit.

05:29And here we've got a bunch of protein powder and stuff.

05:32We have creatine.

05:34I've got...

05:35These things are absolutely fucking amazing.

05:36I want to shout out Nick Hipper from the band Myer,

05:40ex-Azley Dying as well.

05:41He's a really good friend of ours.

05:42And he actually bought out some of these

05:44when I was touring here last year,

05:46the year before.

05:47They are just...

05:48Unreal.

05:49Normally protein cereal is really shitty,

05:51but these things taste amazing.

05:53And you have them with like some protein milkshakes.

05:56It's absolutely packed,

05:57so cheers, Nick.

05:58You know what I mean?

06:00I got some new snacks I'm stoked on.

06:03Exactly how it sounds.

06:05What we got in here?

06:06What's this one?

06:07Some more cereal.

06:09Some Biscoff.

06:10This is a Goonsy Gowns special.

06:12Yes.

06:12A cup of tea and a biscuit.

06:15Man actually loves it.

06:15The guitarist loves just sitting with a cup of tea at night and a biscuit.

06:20This is our tubs for the overnight oats.

06:22Some more protein bars.

06:24Cutlery.

06:25I don't even know what's in here.

06:26Cleaning products.

06:27Cleaning stuff.

06:27Really boring.

06:28What's in the big fridge?

06:29Anything in the freezer?

06:31Frozen berries.

06:32We got ice pops.

06:36What have we got in here?

06:37Is this the right?

06:41This is much of the same.

06:44It's kind of hard to keep a bus clean and organised with 14 people.

06:49Because you will put something down or you'll tidy something and someone will just walk up and just move it.

06:54It's chaos.

06:55This is actually pretty nice.

06:57We've got the Haritos out on the side.

06:59We absolutely love this stuff.

07:00Again, you don't really get it in the UK.

07:01Some places sell it, but we love it over here.

07:05But again, this is just classic America.

07:07Do a sugar free version, please.

07:10Aye.

07:10It's insane.

07:12This is 140 calories and 35 grams of sugar.

07:16That's wild.

07:17It's mental.

07:19Haritos, if you watch this, sugar free version, please.

07:23Sugar free version, please.

07:24That'd be great.

07:24We're big Mexican food guys.

07:26We love going out and finding good Mexican food spots.

07:30So you need to have one of them with it.

07:32But it's just so much sugar.

07:34It fucks us up.

07:35Ali loves it.

07:35Ali, on our last US tour we did, Ali, I actually think he succeeded.

07:41He had a goal of eating tacos every single day of the tour and I'm pretty sure you've done it.

07:44Did you not?

07:45I had a rule.

07:46If I had to walk further than 10 minutes, I wouldn't have tacos.

07:50I managed it 14 days in a row.

07:53And by the time it got to the end of the 14 days, everyone kind of knew I was doing

07:56this thing.

07:56And I would open up Google Maps and just be like,

08:00What is it?

08:01Oh fuck, it's nine minutes.

08:02How do you go?

08:03Yep.

08:03And then on one day it was 11 minutes and I was like, yes.

08:06So I went and got fucking pizza or a burger or something.

08:08This is the bathroom where you're only allowed to pee, which I'm pretty sure loads of people have told you

08:13that before.

08:14But yes, you're only allowed to pee.

08:15If you don't know, it says it on the toilet pan seat.

08:18Only pee, no pepper, no poop.

08:22This is the mirror where you fix your hair in the morning.

08:24I mean, look at this.

08:28Cool.

08:28Do bunks.

08:30This is where everyone sleeps.

08:33Nice to see you.

08:37Reading the Mark Hoppus book.

08:40I'm only like four chapters in because every time I start reading it I get too tired and fall asleep.

08:45I'm trying to stay off my phone at night because it just keeps you up longer.

08:48I was going to say he's only four pages in because he can't read but.

08:52Kind of true as well.

08:54I'm glad there's no smell of vision right now because this part of the bus gets.

08:57Stinking.

08:58Gets pretty funky, especially as we get further back.

09:01Mine's is the middle bunk and this is prime real estate right here.

09:04This is, I can't go in the top bunk because I'm like, I toss and turn in my sleep.

09:08So if I roll right out of there, I'm done.

09:11He's a goner.

09:11I'm a goner.

09:12So, yeah.

09:13Bottom bunk.

09:15Probably the worst.

09:16I don't know.

09:17Something nice about the bottom because you're kind of tucked away down there.

09:21But you're constantly near people's feet.

09:23That's a good point.

09:24When you're eye level though, I don't feel like you get as much, it doesn't feel like you've got as

09:28much secrecy.

09:29I don't know.

09:29I'm tucked away on the back in this one.

09:31It's a little bit different.

09:32If you have to get up in the night to go to the bathroom and you come back and it's

09:35like four in the morning and you're having to climb.

09:36Not good because I'll wake you up.

09:39That's true.

09:39That's very true.

09:39This is a little bunk.

09:41It's prime real estate.

09:44Yeah.

09:44Don't worry.

09:48We have the shoe rack here.

09:50Essential.

09:52What is not very nice though is when this door closes, I'm back here with our tour manager.

09:58This begins to smell like some kind of cheese factory going on back here.

10:02Do you know what I mean?

10:04Not great, so if you just watch your doors coming past here, we'll take you into what would be a

10:10fully functioning back lounge normally.

10:12But in this bus, because we had to have 14 bunks because we're sharing with Sylosis, they've kind of converted

10:17this back lounge and we have these two bunks here.

10:20Now, admittedly, when I came back here and saw the size of these things, I requested that I have one

10:24of these because I'm doing double duty on this tour.

10:26I don't know if you know, but I play drums for Sylosis and Blade From Within.

10:29So, it is actually a really nice, spacious bunk.

10:32The only bad thing about being back here is you're directly above the engine, so it is quite loud when

10:37you get going.

10:38But, I think I've left them out here.

10:39I've never been back here.

10:40This is the first time I've hung out back here.

10:43Well, you can't move in here normally because this is where everybody puts their bags.

10:48So, when I come back here to get into bed, I normally have to jump from where Josh is standing

10:52right here and have to go diagonal into my bed.

10:54But, this is the secret to a good night's sleep for me.

10:57Eye mask, ear plugs, and then we have little nasal strips as well that we put on because we're getting

11:02old now.

11:03Is this you?

11:04No, I'm down there.

11:05Why does Zangie sleep with his head at this side?

11:08Because it's easy.

11:09Ah.

11:11I don't like that.

11:12Our tour manager's flipped it round so he can watch TV at night, which is pretty good.

11:15But if the driver slams his brakes on, Zangie's a goner.

11:19So, that's a rule worth noting.

11:21Feet in the direction that you're driving, typically safer.

11:25Zangie, he's rolling the dice with that one.

11:29I don't like that.

11:30I've just realised.

11:31I've just discovered this for the first time.

11:34I don't like that.

11:34I don't like it.

11:35Yeah, this is pretty much it.

11:37This is our home for the next, what, four weeks now?

11:40We have a long time left.

11:41Yeah.

11:43We're already desperate to go home.

11:44No, that's not true.

11:45No, that's not true.

11:46The shows have been absolutely amazing.

11:48As I said before, this is our very first ever North American tour.

11:51The shows have all been great.

11:53We'll say a massive thank you to our North American fans for coming out, supporting us

11:56and all the other bands on this bill.

11:58We have plans to come back here, so make sure you keep your eyes on our Instagram,

12:04bleepwithin.com, for tours coming up soon and we'll see you there.

12:08Cheers.
