Music and art gives an escape to the individual from the mundane, fall in line, always be the same motivations of society as a whole. For so many, that is the only place where they can be themselves and truly feel comfortable with how they are. But the trick is, how does one take that and apply that to the outside world?
Music and art provide the blueprint to that, and that blueprint is rebellion. Rebelling against the status quo, rebelling against what someone else who doesn't even think about you would want you to be. Rebelling against fitting into a specific box because it makes it easier for other people to see you. Therefore, music is the way to rebellion, the most important thing in life.
Beth from the growing pop punk / modern rock band A New Violet joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. To get you into A New Violet as a whole, and get inspired for yourself, join us as we discuss:
- The reality of being a growing band in today's world; fighting censorship, rebelling against limitations more venues are putting on live music, and the commitment it takes to be in a growing band.
