The social media world right now is a cesspool of content meant to go viral, be a flash in the pan, and hope that viewers will actually go beyond the doom scroll to check out what you are doing.
But what is the right way to do this? Is there any hope behind trying to hop on a trend and just hope something becomes viral? Well, there just might be.

Aaron from the rock band My Epic joins the Chord Progression Podcast. With a new album, Loriella, out now, we take this album in a few interesting directions talking about:

The importance in framing when it comes to social media content and the commitment it takes to make a splash anywhere online.Why it is important to focus your content around building deep connections with your existing fans and to attract new audiences, not just hopping on a trend in hoping to go viral.The new start the band is going to be taking on "Loriella" and why they are happy with it.

We all know artists build their own individual sound from the music and experiences they are influenced by. But to create truly great music is that enough?
Should artists dive in to "influences squared?" Meaning should they dive into the influences of their influence to try and discover even more great music?

Ryan from the band Sound&Shape joins the Chord Progression Podcast, with the new album "Pillars of Creation" out now for you to check out. In this episode, we dive deep into:

How Ryan used his influence from The Beatles to consistently try and push his music to do new things.Why looking into the influences of you influence may just help you discover the greatest music you will write in your career, hence "influence squared."If the social lines and divide based on preferred genre of music will be blurred and non-existent in the future thanks to artists consistently blending genres.

How important band chemistry is, from both being there in the bad times for each other, and being there in the good times as well. Something that leads to great music.The new song Birmingham Steel, its message of a stable relationship, and how a shared experience in the Alabama steel industry brought the guys into the song.Why they are the band you are going to want to see, and hang out with too once the show is over.

Why are bands like Bad Omens, Bring Me the Horizon, Falling In Reverse, Sleep Token, and Knocked Loose hitting so well with so many people? What is the commonality between them?
One reason could be their ability to blend unique ideas and genres together, another could be they embody what connects people to rock and metal music today. But we really found another reason.. they are vulnerable with their music, both in meaning and how they construct it.

Dave from Stray View joins the Chord Progression Podcast today for an over-the-top episode anyone making music needs to check out. On this episode, we discuss

Why musicians and artists that are fully vulnerable with their music from lyrics to sound construction are successful, and why every musician should be just as vulnerable.The importance of checking your ego at the door with your bandmates in order to create the best music you can.How the music industry is reinforcing collaboration as the best way to create music.
