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

Luca, a post-hardcore outfit from Chicago, makes their way to the Chord Progression podcast today. After Kevin meet Luca's frontman Adrian at a Sleep Waker show, they set up a podcast and here we are today, Naturally funny stories are shared, but the guys also talk about how their harder post-hardcore style and content help connect them to their emotions and how we are drawn into genuine writing within music. BUT then the 3 guys dive deep into how music gives you comfort when you're outside your comfort zone, and how live music can make us feel comfortable in our skin.
