Music and art always gives us a chance to reflect on our lives, discover something new, and possibly find the person that we truly are. We all know what that feels like when music is such an important part of our lives. But what is it like for the artists themselves?

For the artist, it is time for them to discover their true selves, find what makes them happy from both an artist and and individual side, as well emerge as a much more confident version of themselves than ever before.

Echos joins the Chord Progression Podcast today with her new album Quiet, In Your Place releasing on January 17th. In this episode, join us and discover Echos as we:

• Reflect on the past 3 years from her previous album release, and why trusting in her tastes & her sound have allowed her to become more connected and confident in herself as a person and artist.
• Discuss the duality of the art that is transmitted from the person and that person themselves, showing the beauty in the separation of the art and the artist themselves.
• Look at the new album Quiet, In Your Service, how is was only created when Echos "felt the feeling," and how its personal stance about standing up for yourself cuminates perfectly in the song Tolerance.

This sound and style is a little out of the norm for us, but this type of conversation is spot on. Hit the subscribe button as we keep bringing you new artsits to discover all of 2025.

Kevin's Final Thought; I Just Really Enjoyed This One: (54:14)

Over the course of history, it has been the musicians and artists that have challenged us with their music, while maintaining a great deal of artistic integrity behind it, have gone to be great. Recently, think of Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Sleep Token. They all have done this.

We always want to find the next bands and artists that have a chance to challenge people with their music, and we found one that is planning to do that while progressing through their own different eras. Now that's art.

The guys in Spirit Leaves join the Chord Progression Podcast today! This is where you are going to discover a band with ballooning artistry as we discuss:

• How the band came together in an Avengers-like team-up, and how it showed XZYLO that the want to do music is still there.
• The focus on artistry in their music to evolve their sound through different eras as time progresses.
• Writing music that evolves the band artisically, and challenges the listener.

Once again, another great band for you to discover is right here on the Chord Progression Podcast. Tap the subscribe button to make sure you find out about every band, before everyone else does.

Kevin's Final Thought; Does Challenging Music Always Work?: (58:49)

When this band released their second album, it was a week before the entire world shut down in 2020. When they released their third album in 2022, the entire thing had to be written remotely to follow government mandated distancing restrictions. So when writing the fourth album started, what would that process be like?

How about creating an album all together again, with past and current members fully engrained in the process all together, and having the drummer produce it? That would certainly help create a definitive sound that any artists would be passionate about.

Dale from the Australian band Ocean Grove is on the Chord Progression Podcast. After releasing the new album Oddworld back in Novermber, check out how Ocean Grove created their definitive sound as we talk about

• The release story of Oddworld from 2 previous albums heavily impacted by the COVID pandemic, and the changes made to make this album as good as possible.
• How past and current members came together to work on, and create, an all-encompassing album that will define Ocean Grove's sound.
• Why Stunner is the most integral, and interesting, song on the entire album.

Kevin's Final Thought; An In-House Producer Like This is Rare: (49:14)

Every musician and artist has a want and a dream to make it big in whatever genre or industry they are in. But one thing that we all know is that only a few ever achieve that dream. But what do those artists and musicians have in common, they are willing to adapt their delivery of their art, and be genuine in it.

One UK alternative metal band decided to pivot their marketing technique in order to ensure that the delivery of their latest album was going to have more of a chance to succeed than their previous releases. And upon release of that album, it has proven to have worked.

Cherry from the alt metal band Defences joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. The 2024 album Shadow Light is out now, and we reflect on it with Cherry in this episode by talking about

• The reaction to the fan's positive reaction to the album, and the discovery of Shadow Light by many new fans.
• What Defences changed in their presentation and marketing of Shadow Light that led to the band's greater rise throughout 2024.
• How the concept of shadow worked shaped the creation of Shadow Light, and how it works on the album's dynamic sound.

This band is on the rise and we are bringing you so many more bands that are on the rise, and those that have already risen to the top. We aren't stopping, so keep up with all these bands by hitting that subscribe button.

Kevin's Final Thought; Improvise, Adapt, Be Vulnerable in Art: (37:53)

As we close out the first half of the 2020's, it is clear that rock and metal are back on the rise as bands creating authentic music like Bad Omens, Sleep Token, and The Warning. More people are heading out to shows and checking out the new bands because of the inspiration that this time period is creating.

This band is planning on capitalizing on that with a more experimental metalcore sound that will make them break through the saturation of sound in the metal scene. And this is all done while creating an EP that hits on that sonically, but also connects to those listening all around the concept of a deep loss.

Evan from the Los Angeles metalcore band Thrown Into Exile joins the Chord Progression Podcast. The new EP, Passageways, is available now and we dive into what has made this EP by talking about:

• Releasing new music in metal in a time when pop culture is taking more and more of an interest in the rock and metal genres as time goes on.
• Evan's return to Thrown Into Excile, and music as well, after 6 years, and its importance to the personal journey we all go through recapturing our love for something.
• A deep dive into the new EP, Passageways, from the focus on a dynamic metalcore approach, to the deep emotional connection lyrically based on the final days before losing a loved one.

This got deep and powerful quickly, with the dynamics that is making metal great. Hit the subscribe button to discover more that is coming from the Chord Progression Podcast.

Kevin's Final Thought; The Art of Emotional Connection in Song: (55:29)

It is human nature to fear death. Death is the ultimate end to life as we are aware of it. And because of that, along with human nature having us focus on the negative, we tend to miss out on many of the positives life has to offer.

Music is one of those things we have that can help us relate to death to find the positivity in life. The melodies, the lyrics, the flow, help us all connect to the beatuy in life, when faced with the end. And that alone can inspire us.

David and Matt from the band Stoneside join us on the Chord Progression Podcast today. Diving deep is on the agenda when it comes to life and music as we discuss:

• The moments that led Stoneside to music, with a stress on the importance of finding your life's passion in your own way.
• Why Stoneside writes about death to find the beauty in life, and how it comes from their deep, personal experiences.
• An importance of not living your life be dictated by the will of others, and why life can't be lived while sitting behind a desk.

Kevin's Final Thought; You Earned It, You Deserve It: (1:15:49)

There is a quote out there that says "good things take time, but great things happen all at once." This quote always rung true to us, but when meeting this band and bringing them to you, it continued to show its truth.

From an origin story that starts all the way back to Rockfest 2023, to signing a record deal less than a year into their existance, and a wilingness to create the most chaotic moments on stage, it is true that great things happen all at once.

The guys from the Minneapolis-based post hardcore band Impossible Prom Kings join the Chord Progression Podcast. Discover this great new band and see that great things happen all at once as we talk about:

• How the band formed because of a cigarette at Rockfest 2023, and why their orgin story is of a bunch of misfits coming together.
• Signing a record deal with Ghost Killer Entertainment in under a year of being a band, and why they were signed.
• The Dopamine enducing live shows, and the crazy ideas that we come up with to amplify them in the moment.
• What to expect on the debut EP from the band releasing in 2025.

It is not surprising to hear a story about anyone in a creative space having to deal with adversity and roadblocks in order to acheive their dreams. They inspire us to keep going, energize us to know that it is worth it, and invigorate our creative spirit.

But what if that story includes getting dropped by a major record label in less than a year, going through the legal process to get the rights to your music back, dropped by your management because you didnt make them enough during a worldwide pandemic, and classified as "damaged goods"? Now that is a band you want to get behind.

Steph and Paul from the Irish Emo band Greywind join the Chord Progression Podcast today, on the heels of the rerelease of their debut album Afterthoughts to give it the proper release. On this episode, join us for an insane half hour talking about:

• The insane origin story of Greywind and how it is one that would have made so many others quit (yes, we summarized the story, but there is so much more).
• Rereleasing the debut album Afterthoughts and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people for your goals.
• Why fans are connecting to the authenticity of their emo sound with songs that relate to everyone's life in some capacity.

We have to have these 2 back for the full story. Be sure to subcsribe because they will be back soon.

Kevin's Final Thoguht; If They DIdn't Give Up, You Shouldn't Either: (31:52)

Every year in the rock and metal world, we all find that one band that we were not expecting to see, come out of nowhere and start to truly make a name for themselves. It is done through hard work, and moments that make you never forget them.

This is one of those bands as we found out about them at a random show, only to see them get signed to a great record label, and go viral before 2024 ended. With 2025 on the horizon, this band is poised to explode.

The dual frontwomen tandem of Lizzie and Liv from Not Enough Space join the Chord Progression Podcast today. To recap a great 2024 and preview an even more explosive 2025, join us as we discuss:

• The emergence of Not Enough Space into metal culture in 2024, from fans reacting to a band with 2 frontwomen, signing with Thriller Records, and going viral.
• Writing a brand new album while freely expandning their sound and pushing the boundaries of what they think their music can be, putting new music on Album of the Year watch.
• Releasing the single Primitive, going viral, and creating "moancore"

Getting a chance to get into great bands before they make it huge don't come around often. We provide those chances all the time. So tap subscribe to not miss out on any furhter bands.

Kevin's Final Thought; Poised for a 2025 Breakout: (54:11)

We love it when a band comes together to create great music. But what happens when that band that comes together has members of other high profile bands to share their talents with the world even more? That is when we get a great supergroup.

Not only do we get a chance today to see how this Avengers-like ensemble came together, but a further in-detph look at how they create music for a project like this. Add in an unfiltered look at the current state of touring for fans to understand the economics of why ticket prices are rising, and you are in for one hell of an episode.

Chris Kelly from Hillhaven joins the Chord Progression Podacst. With Hillhaven members having ties to bands like BabyMetal (allegedly), From Ashes To New, Ice Nine Kills, and more, discover this supergroup as we dive into:

• The origin story from uncertainty on what to do with previously written music, and why this "supergroup" was the way to go.
• Why the music creation process for Hillhaven is more for Chris to lead, how most songs take a darker and more personal approach, but why the new song This Time Tomorrow looks at a more positive outlook.
• The unfiltered reality that is touring today, why things are getting more expensive, and a reality check for fans wondering why ticket prices have been going up.

We could not have asked from a better episode from Chris, and other members of this band (Mat Madiro of From Ashes To New and Ricky Armellino of Ice Nine Kills) have appeared on the podcast before. Hit that subscribe button because we will be featuring your favorite artists (and new favorite artists) shortly.
