In the world that is 2024, we continue to see divide between people. That divide can come from political beliefs, religious beliefs, ethical beliefs, or societal pressures. And to stand up against that, one artist thinks that we need a revolution, but a "revolution of love."

And this band has never been afraid to show that standing up for what they believe in, that being their faith, their family, and their freedom. And with a brand new album coming out, they are ready to stand up on that revolution of love.

John Cooper from the one and only Skillet joins the Chord Progression Podcast today! With the brand new album Revolution due out on November first, this 30 minute conversation is one of the best ever as we discuss:

• Why Skillet left Atlantic Records to release Revolution independnetly.
• The importance of being authentically you in your music, and why Skillet is standing with their beliefs looking for the "Revolution of Love."
• A look into a few songs you need to check out on the new record, and why Happy Wedding Day is the most vulnerable Skillet song you could ever want.

John is the first artist we had in our top 10 that we have always wanted to bring to the podcast, and this could not have been a better conversation. Hit subscribe to the podcast now because we have many more bands to bring your way, from our top 10, and so many great new ones as well.
