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

Episode 315: We Struck Gold


Listen Later

We Struck Gold from the United Kingdom is on the Chord Progression Podcast today. The band has released their Feel Nothing EP and we discuss a few thing around its creation and release. We talk about the band's challenges booking live dates following the pandemic, how they are focusing on the quality of their music and live show, and how the EP was created during the pandemic when Omar was stuck in another country for almost a year. Hear how that impacted the lyrical writing of this EP, why Spotify numbers can be a fallacy, and many, many funny stories to get you into this band with some laughs and some great music.
