It's 2025 in the United States of America, and it is fair to say that there is political division everywhere you look. No matter what side of the aisle you are on, you can see and experience the division caused by those well above in class & monetary status, and those in control. But that is when art, music, and expression is most needed, to make sure no voice goes silent or censored.
Punk rock has always been about that since its inception back in the 1970s, and now in 2025, one Florida punk band is making sure that their voices do not get censored or suppressed.
Zach and Chris from the Florida punk band Debt Neglector join the Chord Progression Podcast. With a brand new album, Kinda Rips, releasing on April 4th, we get political on this episode as we talk about:
- How Debt Neglector wrote music for Kinda Rips, with a focus on taking down American Exeptionalism as what it has become today.
- The Importance that art & music have in the delivery of a message that is threatened to be supressed and censored by the state or its entities.
- If we can still talk with those on the other side politically, and discover who is the "bad guy" driving the political strife and division today.
We don't always get political in an episode, but really happy we did with this one. Tap the subscribe button because more great bands and great episodes are heading your way.
