    The DON'T YOU DARE Experience: How This Two-Piece Nu Metalcore Band Shows Commitment Need to Succeed

    When two artists come together thanks to "band Tinder" (called Band Mix), we have a story of musicians who found another that would be just as dedicated to the band and the craft of creating music. It is what is needed in order from a band to break out from being a local act. But what else is needed beside just dedication and commitment to the music and to the band in order to be successful and grow. Well there are a few things that are needed; a team that believes in you, a group that can be accountable to their actions, and an understanding of how to properly treat the band as a business. So, who is doing this now? Noah and Matt from the Modern Nu Metal band DON'T YOU DARE join the Chord Progression Podcast. Join us to discover this band as we talk about: - The origin story of DON'T YOU DARE, and how Matt & Noah found each other on Band Mix... otherwise known as Band Tinder. - Why DON'T YOU DARE was kept as a two piece with a team built around them, as it allows the guys to manage the proper level of commitment and to keep creative freedom for their uniqueness. - How they built a team that sacrifices for the band, giving DON'T YOU DARE the best chance of success. A fantastic new artists to check out, one that is putting in the work and showing you how it is done in 2026.

    How Resistor Stands Out in Hardcore Music Using TurnTables as Focal Point on New Album "Bite This!"

    Hardcore music is more popular than ever in 2026, tahnsk to the success of artists like Knocked Loose, Kublai Khan, and Drain making waves in the culture of the music scene, and playing larger & larger venues year over year. But there is something that stands out about hardcore music today that is making it so popular. The heaviness and individuality is standing strong and connecting with fans. So what is this band doing to break through in that noise and become one of those unique hardcore bands that is going to make fans go crazy for them based on their heaviness, and their own unique identity. I could say bringing in a nu metal influence with turn tables, but that doesnt really tell the entire story. Anthony and Ian from the New Your "knuckle dragging wika wiki core" band Resistor join the Chord Progression Podcast today. Their new album, Bite This, is releasing on March 27th and we show you what makes their style of hardcore unique. On this episode, we talk about: - How Resistor is showing everyone who they are with Bite This, making the turn tables as much of a focus in their musical composition as the guitars, making them a focal point and not an accent piece. - The struggles of making the turn tables a focal point in their musical writing, from leaving space in the recording when their DJ Arce is unavailable, and the struggle to not fill out the song when it feels incomplete. - Why heavy music today isn't focused on being marketable, but now puts focus and success on an artists' unique style and songs. A great heavy music episode for you hardcore fans. Tap the subscribe button because much more is coming.

    Introducing S8NT ELEKTRIC: Why Living "OFF THE EDGE" Is Their Unique Sound On Rock Music

    Rock music has always had a reputation of "live fast and die young." You saw this taken to the max with so many legendary artists in rock and metal like Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimi Hendrix, and many more. Many of those artists lived life "on the edge" and never looked back. But what about the opposite of living on the edge? What about an artists creating their own music to go after their dreams, regardless of what the genre or the culture is sending them towards? Dreams that make them happy as people, for who they are? Can artists make music that inspire people to do just that? To live... "off the edge"? Bri and Niko from the Los Angeles based neon-rock band S8NT ELEKTRIC join the Chord Progression Podcast today. The band is releasing their debut album OFF THE EDGE on March 20th, 2026 and are taking the "off the edge" mentality seriously. On this episode, we discuss: - The backstory of S8NT ELEKTRIC, how it was started with Bri having no experience as a vocalist, but with a will and desire to achieve their dreams through nothing but sheer will and determination. - What living "Off The Edge" means, contradicting the classic rock and roll lifestyle, empowering people to do what they want to better their lives, and how the band is using it as their unique selling point and message. - How Bri found her voice when she was never a singer, and why non-polished vocals have always found a home in rock and metal music, when other genres focus on conformity.

    Discover Lost In Hollywood: The German Metalcore Band Arising Empire Found to be Consistently Unique

    Everyone that has ever wanted to make music and have it be their career has had dreams of making it big, of becoming a world renowned artist, and have their music reach the masses. It is something that many try, but very few ever achieve. For artists today, is there a prototype or archetype that they can follow in order to achieve their dreams? From what we have seen there is in a basic sense. A sense of consistency, trusting themselves creatively, and building a team around them that will help their sound succeed. And here, is a use case in action. Amon from the German metalcore band Lost In Hollywood joins the Chord Progression Podcast. With the bands self-titled album releasing on March 20th, we make sure you get to know a band that is consistently rising before the release of a new album and European Tour supporting Archers. On this episode we talk about: - This history of Lost In Hollywood, and the importance of staying consistent with their music to continue growing, from writing to performing and everything in between. - Working with a label in Arising Empire that allows them to freely create the album they want, while opening doors to great opportunities to make the best music. - Creating the self-titled album while not holding back lyrically, and not restricting their sound to a certain archetype, staying true to their creative DNA. A fun band to get into the know with now before they are toruing the entire world. Tap the subscribe button because more artists like this are always coming.

    The Adventurous Metalcore Album of 2026: Breaking Down "The Anatomy of Survival" with Vicious Rain

    Typically when music fans hear a band decided to get "experimental" on a new album, there is a stigma attached to it that makes fans question the direction. What is this new sound going to be? Is this change going to be a massive shift from what the band has as its core sound? But what would be a word for an album where a band does take those chances and has a lot of natural flowing fun while doing it? Would it match when the sound is rather exploratory but still connective with their core sound? We have it and it is called... adventurous. David and Mauro from the Swiss metalcore band Vicious Rain return to the Chord Progression Podcast for a 2nd time. With their brand new album The Anatomy of Surviving releasing on March 13th, we have to see how they got to this point and get you excited for the new album. Today we discuss: - How receptive new fans have been to the band following the release of the first album, There Is Beauty in Leting Go, through a connective link between the music and peoples' life experiences. - Writing The Anatomy of Surviving what a fun, natural flow that creates a well balanced, connective, and adventurous album that shows grounded evolution. - A full breakdown of the adventurous songs on The Anatomy of Surviving, solidifying it as one of the most fun records to experience in 2026. A fantastic album that we would have loved to continue to deep dive, but we will leave the rest to you.

Another great EP released in 2025, followed by a number of tours, and a consistent growth that led to Archers continuing to grow in the heavy music scene, and almost 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

With the band announcing their signing to Fearless Records, releasing their recent single "The Dirt," and continued touring, join us as we talk about: - The rise of Archers since the release of their "All That I Have Left" EP in 2024, that led to the band achieving a childhood dream of signing with Fearless Records. - How the band built their success with sustained growth over the long term, using consistent hard work and proper timing, with the help of a great fan base. - A brand new song "The Dirt" and how the connection of the song differs between the live setting on tour and the recorded version, but both hit hard. A fantastic time to catch up with one of the biggest rising bands in heavy music today. Tap the subscribe button for more interviews like this!
