Chord Progression Podcast: The Gateway to New Rock and Metal Music

This is a band that we are labeling “the heaviest alternative band that we have ever heard of” and that is not a label we give out lightly. When you hear an artist that is able to create a smooth flow and a groove that has a pop element, with nods to grunge and British punk all the way through, while throwing in some nasty unclean vocals, you know how eclectic and inviting it truly can be.

But how can an artist that takes so many influences and so many risks create something so eclectic that it not only succeeds with the masses, but is something that is believable as the real thing… because it is the real thing. Well, we have the artist that pulled it off on the podcast today, and here we are, bringing them to you.

Luke and Jake from the UK band unpeople join the Chord Progression Podcast as they are right about to release their debut album “we are unpeople” on October 9th. Since we called them “the heaviest alternative band that we have ever heard of,” let’s get you into them as we talk about:

- Why unpeople are not worried about the release of their debut album, as they have learned from previous experiences what to expect, and having the confidence in the music that they have created.

- The importance of having fun while writing music and playing live, & why unpeople try to make their live show as real as possible.

- Creating the sound on “we are unpeople” where no preconceived sound started any song, all created by the guys just writing what they found fun, with a common British punk rock delivery.

The most adventurous band you will discover on the Chord Progression Podcast this year (most likely). Tap the subscribe button to see if more artists like this find their way into your listening rotation.

Kevin’s Final Thought; The Sound Works Because, They Have Fun With It: (59:43)

The emo scene is alive and well once again like it was all the way back in the mid 2000’s. We are seeing bands like My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy headlining major music festivals. We are seeing a resurgence of emo sounds and intricacies return to new music thanks to the long standing influence the genre had on new artists today. And that is also causing artists that were in the genre back in the heyday, to return.

After 18 years since their previous record, this band returned to the world of music with a brand new EP and with a lot more energy behind them. But why did they return after 18 years? What caused them to be inspired to write new music? And does the quality still stand after so long? Well we are about to show you.

Ryan from the emo band Tokyo Rose is on the Chord Progression Podcast today as the band recently released their first new music in 18 years on the “Never Say Die” EP. On this episode, we dive into the band and into the music as we talk about:

- Why it took 18 years, life changes, and a reset of inspiration for Tokyo Rose to come back to start releasing new music once again.

- The changes in the writing idea and style of music after 18 years that was caused by more stories after 18 years of life, no longer bound to release and writing cycles, and how it somehow all connects to a “recipe.”

- How the guitar tone, melodies, and grooves on “Never Say Die” drive all the emotion and storytelling to create a much more expressive sound for Tokyo Rose.

Kevin’s Final Thought; Human Element is Needed in Music: (49:49)

Do musicians sometimes wait too long before releasing new music? There are plenty of times where the answer is “yes.” It really all depends on the reason as to why they are taking so much time in between releases. Is it fear of what the public will say when new music is released? Is it a level of perfectionism that the artist strives for but can never fully achieve?

Or is it so that the songs have a chance to breathe and the edit process is not rushed? So that the musicians can let the songs speak to them and give them time to either show that the song is perfect just the way it is, or reveal the piece that is missing that makes a good song great, and a great song amazing? When it is this reason, then we see more established artists take more risks with their music, where the reward is much greater.

Levi from the mainstay metalcore act Miss May I joins the Chord Progression Podcast as the band is set to release their 8th album “No Place For Me” on October 2nd. Join us for a great conversation as we talk with Levi on this episode about:

- Why Miss May I took 2 years to release “No Place For Me” following the recording of the album, in order to ensure that the songs had a chance to simmer, and revise parts properly.

- How the band took chances with their music writing process given a brand new lineup from the past albums, with the freedom to create with new influences and give themselves time to curate the songs.

- How Levi learned to detach from the negative online comments for the betterment of his own mental health and the music creation process, not beholden to a negative perception from random online comments.

Kevin’s Final Thought; Sometimes, Just Take Your Time: (46:07)

As we continue on in the 2020's it is no surprise that the threat of AI to music just keeps growing. We hear stories of Ai musicians ripping off real artists and the casual listener does not seem to care at all. We hear more stories too about how more realistic the AI music seems. It is a terrible things for the true creatives out there.

But there is something that these musicians have that the AI does not have. These real artists are humans, that have human senses and human connection, that could cause an imperfection in the writing process that could lead to something much more creative than originally thought possible. That is the one thing that AI will never be able to replicate, the human element.

Pacey and Luka from the experimental German band PLUME join the Chord Progression Podcast as the band is set to rlease their debut album "Saferooms & Healing Frequencies" on September 25th. On this episode, we talk about:

- The origins of PLUME, and how the band needed to balance the want to release new music as quickly as possible compared to letting the music grow with patience to create the best music possible.

- How the debate around AI in music grows, and why the human part of music creativity is the one thing that AI will never replace, and artists will always have a leg up on.

- How the use of different senses like smell and touch influenced the sonic presentation of "Saferooms & Healing Frequencies."

Kevin's Final Thought; The Human Element Will Prevail Over AI: (55:40)

Whenever we as humans start something new, there is alwasy a massive amount of exceitement that kicks off the beginning of that journey. We are exctied to dive in deep, energetic to create something new, and happy to be doing something we find fun. But as time goes on, and more of the business and responsibilities side comes into play, things start to change.

For many artists that are out there, once the business side becomes more stressful and pressing, then the creative side of music becomes less fun and more prcedural. When artists arent excited about their music, the art suffers. It is importance they find that sense of "new-found happiness" again. And well, we found one.

Joshua from Banks Arcade joins the Chord Progression Podcast as the band is set to release their second album "Second Place Superstar" on September 25th. On this episode, we talk about:

- The intense happiness that Banks Arcade felt when making this new album, by switching their mentality back to enjoying the music instead of stressing out about the business.

- How the music of Banks Arcade has evolved on Second Place Superstar, where the sonic presentation contains more of a connective yet expansive groove on each track.

- A number of the non-singles being released off of Second Place Superstar, and how Joshua was able to use these tracks to show a more expansive emotinal vocal range.

Life at times seems like it can have the biggest problems in the world, and all of those biggest problems are directed right at you. It could be stress from your family, stress from your job, stress from society and people that dont even know who you are. It is an odd human condition that we have to contend with.

But when we take a step back and realize that the problems that we are facing, the problems that are the largest in the world to our perception, are in reality small in the larger picture, things seem to... ease. Life seems to get less stresful and become more fun, and allow us to get great music.

At 30 years into their long career, Nonpoint are not showing any signs of slowing down. At this moment, they are still touring and playing energetic shows, putting out new music, and doing things their own way with their own label, 361 Degrees Records. Seems like the band could have done everything at this point, right?

Well the band that still has a few surprises up their sleeves is about to release another record that is taking the sound of Nonpoint to its next evolution of exploration while still staying Nonpoint. But what is that, and should you get hyped about it?

Elias from Nonpoint rejoins the Chord Progression Podcast again as the band is set to release their 11th album, The Last Word, on September 18th. The album also happens to be the first album of theirs released on 361 Degrees Records, their own label. Join us for a quick one as we talk about:

- What it is like releasing "The Last Word" independently, and what they experienced as the label this time around, that many other artists can use to their knowledge in 2026.

- Diving into the singles "Red Yeti" & "Is It," along with how the writing style of "The Last Word" added more synth and production experimentation more to the Nonpoint groove than ever before.

- The song "Settled" being one of the most full and complete song of Nonpoint's style over 30 years.

Kevin's Final Thought; Nonpoint Shows How To Keep It Fresh After 30 Years: (24:28)

Everyone's musical journey is different, and we all know that. We have had artists on the podcast before that have been making music since they were little (I mean we had Kage Archer on at 13 years old), and it is just in their blood. For some, it takes a little lounger in their journey of life to get there and thankfully, one way or another, they do.

Thankfully we found an artist that found his love for music while needing to scratch a creative itch as acting was not lucrative during the pandemic. One that has taken to a style that so many people love, and is bringing a modern touch to it.

Michael from the New York grunge bands Scarhaven joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. After the band has seen success on Sirius XM Octane with their song "My Way", a new song out called "Clouds", & plenty more great grunge music coming your way. On today's episode, discover the band as we talk about:

- How Michael discovered grunge music later in life following a stalled acting career due to COVID, and created Scarhaven to scratch the undeniable creative itch & to be as honest as possible, musically.

- The way Scarhaven blends their love of grunge music with other styles, and how their writing all starts from the riff.

- What it has been like being featured on Sirius XM Octane, & how a revival of the 90's sound is coming back.

Kevin's Final Thought; More Open Emotinal Music, the Better Variety: (42:19)

It has been quite a long time since we last saw Tom Kiley from Patient Sixty-Seven on the podcast, over 3 years ago. This band is that metalcore artist that you always see posting great content online to make you take a lighthearted look at metalcore, and enjoy some great music. And off of that, they created an incredibly strong community of fans around them.

But, it has been quiet from Patient Sixty-Seven for the past year. For those that have not been paying attention, they might not know what is going on with the band. For those in the community, they know what has been going on. And through their support, they have been instrumental in helping Patient Sixty-Seven get back to where they need to be, and to help Tom get back to where he wants to be.

Tom Kiley from the Australian metalcore band Patient Sixty-Seven rejoins the Chord Progression Podcast for the 4th time as the band just released their new along "A Stitch In Time Saves None." Catch back up with Tom on this episode as we talk about:

- How major life events and issues caused Tom to stop actively pursuing music due to self destructive tendencies, but how rediscovering his love for music brought him back to feeling like himself.

- Why being vulnerable and honest with the Patient Sixty-Seven fans about his struggles, along with his own self-introspection, helped Tom & can help other through their own issues, knowing that they can change the outcome, not the event.

- Writing the brand new album, and how the songs are reopening new pathways to the next chapter of Patient Sixty-Seven.

We are happy Tom is back as the music world is in a better space with him here and happy. Tap the subscribe button because plenty more great episodes and artists are on the way.

Kevin's Final Thought; Can't Change Event, Change Outcome: (57:15)

Every person knows they have stumbled upon a special artist from the first time they really get to listen to them, and are taken aback in amazement of what they hear. There is a jolt of energy and inspiration that flows directly into your brain and into your soul and you just know, greatness in music is right in front of you.

We got to check out this artist live once before, but due to an illness causing her voice to be rough, a second listen was required to really get to know the artist. When we had a chance to listen to her debut EP and really see what her sound was about, we knew we found something special, and the best EP of 2026.

Showing Teeth is on the Chord Progression Podcast today with her brand new EP "A Fate Worse Than Loneliness" set to release on September 4th. Join us and really discover this artist that is about to blow up as we talk about:

- Sonically writing "A Fate Worse Than Loneliness" as an audio diary, in order to show the massive theatric & thematic range by consistently revisiting old feelings through music & thoughts to choose one's self.

- Showing Teeth's massive vocal range allowing for a sharp but controlled contrast between different ideas in her music, creating what is the best EP of 2026.

- Why we live in the whackiest age of music where new acts trying new things are met with skepticism and caution, yet experimentation is promoted.

This might be one of the most impressive sounds we have had on the Chord Progression Podcast in 7 and a half years. Tap the subscribe button as we find the next artist that will blow you away.
