Bring Me The Horizon, Ice Nine Kills and their horror focus, and more. But what allows bands to experiment like this when they release new music? Taking charge of the production is one main way, and it happened here. One of our favorite guests, Joey Varela of VRSTY, has returned to the podcast once again to support the release of the new VRSTY album Levitate. In this episode, you will discover: How producing Levitate by himself with the help of producer Justin DeBlieck (Ice Nine Kills) allowed this album to be as expansive as it is. The initial reservation others had on the song Kill The Rich, and how the feature with Andy Cizek came to be.

But how did this scene all grow, how did it come to be, and why should you join in and be a part of it? That is what we are here to answer. Rob from the hardcore band Rust joins us as the perfect person to show you the Canadian hardcore scene. On this episode, we discuss: How the Canadian hardcore scene right after the pandemic, and why bands from the United States are traveling just to play there. Why the scene was built with a "family" mentality, offering a safe space for many kids and fans to come and feel free to be themselves. The community that has been created by the scene, and why that is attracting more kids, and more bands, to join everyday. Our deep dive into the Canadian hardcore scenes begins with Rust.

That is a little bit of a loaded statement, but think about all of your favorite bands and artists. They would not have gotten to that point if they didn't take a risk. That is one of the reasons why the Dollyrots have been around for so long, and we have the couple of Kelly and Luis on the podcast for you today. On this episode, we dive deep into How the couple has taken calculated risks all throughout their careers, that has led them to tour the world, make music, and have a family, with so many great experiences and stories to share (that many young bands can draw inspiration from). The time Kelly handed Joan Jett the band's music, and that ended up with the Dollyrots signing with Joan Jett's record label. Night Owls, the brand new album, and the theory behind why reviewers have called it "Astounding Musical Perfection." Do not miss out on this fun band and fun episode.

Do you give up, pack it up, and call it a day? Or do you work through those moments of adversity, and come out the other side stronger than you ever thought possible? It is our honor to have Tyler Tate from Hollow Front back on the podcast once again. With the release of the band's 3rd album, The Fear of Letting Go, releasing on October 27th, we dive into: Everything that has happened with the band since the van crash of 2022, losing Dakota and Brandon as band members, and how Tyler almost gave up as well. How the band is operating as a 2 piece between Tyler and Lee, and how the new album was constructed with this new dynamic. Diving deep into the album's themes around the van crash and aftermath, Tyler's relationship with his mother on Over the Cradle, and analyzing Tyler's clean singing.

The band already has the intrigue, and live shows make sense to expose the sound to the fans, but doing it before the release of a full album makes this almost impossible. We are pleased to be joined by Wes from the band Flat Black on the podcast today. As Flat Black is opening for an arena tour showing everyone who they are for the first time, we talk about: Having a "fans first" mentality in a live show setting, doing what you can to respect the fans choice to see your and win them over, from preparation to the actual show. The Great Debate of using backing tracks live, why Flat Black tries not to, and why it makes sense for all the bands that do (and yes, we talk about Ronnie Radke in this one). What to expect on Flat Black's debut album, from a "masked" feature, to infusing country into a song, and going even heavier than their singles. A fantastic w...

Of course you would. Now what if we told you that isn't just a story, that is reality? The guys from Catch Your Breath return to the Chord Progression Podcast. With their debut album Shame On Me releasing this Friday, we recap the massive success the band has had in 2023 talking about How the band held their own touring arenas and playing in front of 10,000+ people alongside Falling In Reverse.

Possibly. But what if a new artist is doing it and taking advantage of the amount of music lovers living and traveling to the scene on the daily. Newer Pop Punk artist Cameron Alexander is our featured guest on the Chord Progression Podcast today to talk all about: The decision to move to Nashville and why it is important to try and grow your music in a city with a love for music.
