Chord Progression

On today’s episode, Kevin sits down with American Bandit, a post-hardcore band that it loud, in-your-face, and soaked in beer. Best part is they are from Milwaukee, so this is the first time a band local to Kevin is on the podcast. The guys sit down and talk about what it was like opening up for Beartooth at their drive-in show in Wisconsin, seeing how concerts are working when it comes to drive in shows, and an announcement at the end of the episode that leads to new material from the band. This is going to be a good one and get ready for more Milwaukee bands in the future.   Find American Bandit Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amrcnbndit Twitter: https://twitter.com/amrcnbndit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amrcnbndit/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq6uFDpoFAe0jgxjhDe5b8g Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/27FuiQtYoRn620OHNV65Jn?si=BGKY5V1jStO0a8Oq6f3XjQ Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/american-bandit/1225403498   Follow us on social media!   Facebook:

Roland and John of AVAT join the Chord Progression podcast for quite the conversation. These Miami metal artists come and talk all about the inspiration behind their sound, the message behind their latest song Dead or Alive, and then the guys dive deep into 2020. This is where everything gets interesting because they talk about how missing concerts this year is making us all feel like we are missing that family connection (both fans and bands alike), and then talk all about being prepared for whatever 2021 throws at them, if concerts come back or not. They are ready to adapt to whatever the world throws at them.   Find AVAT online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/avatmusic Twitter: https://twitter.com/avatband Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/avatmusic/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkcPdF6Ee3I4pkVCOVOwPqg Website: https://www.avatmusic.com Merch: https://www.avatmusic.com/merch Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1PtKKubz6ZlXEsiZeEKZJa?si=6CCp-BE_R7e5uWfBZmRQ4g Apple Music: htt
