Jake from the Australian metalcore band Mirrors joins the Chord Progression podcast. We discuss their debut LP "The Ego's Weight" in detail from its theme, staying true to yourself, and detail how this album is more than just and album, it is an experience.

DISCLAIMER: When we recorded the episode, the original release date of the album was set for October 8th, 2021. An hour after recording, we received word from Jake that the album release date was being pushed back to November 19th due to a delay in the vinyl pressing. We kept the episode because it is beyond incredible, just not the release date is now November 19th, 2021.

The guys from the rock band Along Came A Spider stop by the Chord Progression Podcast. After a half hour of gut-bustlingly funny stories that rival Modern Day Escape as the funniest podcast (and the bands are friends which makes it better), the band jumps into what they learned during the pandemic. They talk about being independent, adapting to the world of streaming, launching their new album Blackhole at Inkarceration, and diving deep into their song The Hollow. This episode will get you into Along Came A Spider without fail.

We attended Blue Ridge Rock Fest in 2021 and we are here to talk about it. We take a look at how the bands and the fans alike worked together in order to give people a great experience and show the power of the rock and metal community. But we also look at the many things that went wrong (camping, parking, shuttles, gate security, the Golden Circle & VIP, ADA compliance, and more) to paint the picture at how disorganization put this festival in a very dangerous spot. We then look at the organizers of this festival, call out their lack of accountability, and finally issue a challenge to Jonathan Slye to come on the podcast and address all the issues so the 2022 version of the festival can go the way it is supposed to go.
