When a longtime member departs from a band (this time on good terms, thankfully), what does the future look like for that band's music? Will it change, will it stay the same, or will it evolve with a new member added into the mix?

These are the questions that keep fans up at night, and keep the artists wondering, working, and experimenting to continue the legacy that is their sound. And right now, that rings true for this band.

Kristen Sturgis of Conquer Divide joins the Chord Progression Podcast today, as the band is kicking off their 2025 on the road in Europe. In this quicker episode, we get into it as we:

• Recap some of the epic tour pranks that Conquer Divide has pulled in their time as a band, leading them to legendary status amongst the scene.
• Discuss Janel's departure from Conquer Divide, if you might see her on tour with the band in the future, and how the band is going about possibly finding a replacement or forging ahead as a 4 piece in the future.
• Get a very early look at the third Conquer Divide album currently in the works, and how the current 4 piece makeup of the band could evolve their signature sound.

Might not be the longest episode, but still a great one nonetheless. Tap the subscribe button to not miss out on any new episodes in the future.
