EP: 029 – The vulnerability of creating and releasing music, and taking artistic risks with The Hollywood Kills

This week we are joined by Nashville indie rock band The Hollywood Kills. The band sits down with host Jon Stinson to discuss stepping into a place of vulnerability, and sticking your neck out when it comes to the process of creating and releasing music. The band also shares how they draw inspiration from popular TV shows like “Breaking Bad” and how that plays a part in influencing their writing.

This episode is a little longer than usual. Partly because our host Jon Stinson lost track of time while being enthralled in a good discussion, and partly because we did things a little different than usual. We were working outside of the normal workflow of things, and coming to you from our friend Cliff Goldmacher’s studio, Nashville Studio Live.

Check out this great spot in Nashville as an option for tracking your next project. It’s a very streamlined operation with very high quality gear, and a built in community of A-list session musicians to give your music the quality and attention it deserves. Jon Stinson also happens to be one of the main engineers working out of Nashville Studio Live. Special thanks to Cliff Goldmacher for letting us use the space for this episode of The Modern Recordist!
