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

Rob from the German modern metal band The Oklahoma Kid is here today. The band has been waiting to get back on stage since 2020, so we discuss their summer festival lineup, their headlining tour happening in October after being postponed for 2 years, and how their diverse sound will create a fantastic live experience. We also dive deep into the process of writing the new album Tangerine Tragic, figure out how many songs a band should play off their new record, geek out on the song Waldsterben (the forest dying song), and why working with a non-metal produced was the right move for this album. Looking for good new music? This is where you should go.

Seth of Watashi Wa is here on the Chord Progression Podcast today. The band is releasing their first new music in over 16 years with the release of their album People Like People on May 20th, so we talk about what it was like to write and record an album after that layoff. But then we dive deep into the album's meaning around taking a critical look at the plugged in generation and digital age, and the dangers inside of it. So we discuss media influence on dividing people, along with removing lenses to connect with others who differ in opinion from us, and connecting in person once again. It is deep, it is insightful, so don't miss any of it.

In our 300th episode, Mac from JunkBunny joins the Chord Progression Podcast. Opening up with the latest updates on what is going on with the band, Mac then gives us a tour through the history of the band that includes getting signed at 16 years old, dropping out of public school to pursue music dreams, getting dropped from the label, and all the lessons learned along the way. We also discuss the band being independent and all of the work needed to be a successful band in today's day and age. A deep dive into Another Summer Song, how Kevin and Mac are connected via Rise Against, and a geek out on Bar Rescue. Happy 300 everyone.

Pittsburgh metalcore outfit IRE stops by the podcast today. The band started in 2019, so we open by discussing their focused growth during the pandemic, and how they must make every dollar and every move work to their advantage as an independent band. But then it takes a turn for the fun when the guys talk about playing a live show without a drummer (and killing it) and how Brandon cried during a Nickelback show. Don't miss these guys.

Indey, the bassist of Windwaker, is on the podcast today. Windwaker recently signed with Fearless Records ahead of the release of their debut LP Love Language on May 6th. 2022. So we talk about the signing with Fearless Records, share funny stories from the road, and really see how the long release schedule for the album might have been beneficial for the band. On top of that, we dive deep into Love Language and its cohesive chaos construction, really geek out on the song Dopamine Freestyle, and confirm that there is no genre for Windwaker, they are there own thing. Do yourself a favor and listen to the album.
