On this episode of the podcast Cody sits down with Blaine, Blair, and Jonah who together make up the Calgary synth-pop band Taken by Sanity. The band has been nominated for 3 different YYC Music awards this year including the Peoples Choice Award, Group of the Year, as well as the Zackariah and the Prophets Memorial Award. The four of them have a great conversation that covers a wide variety of subject matter including: how the band met, the many different hats you have to wear when you are doing everything DIY, the evolution of the bands sound and how they found their niche, the unique way in which they record their music and how songs come together, what it feels like to be nominated for 3 YYC music awards and receive validation from not only your peers but also music critiques, being more creative with how you get your music to your audience, being genuine with the content you put forth on social media, using the production tools that you have on hand to the best of your abilities, the joys of making music, taking a step back and looking at your performance with a critical mind, finding the balance between being critical and giving yourself credit for what you have done, getting over stage fright, and much more. You can listen to the song Saturn Boys off of the bands Saturn Days EP at the end of the episode.
