Making music that connects with fans of whatever genre you are in, isn't easy. Making music that connects with fans of other genres is even harder. Doing so and being able to connect on concert bills where you are the lightest band on the bill, it is nearly impossible. But there has to be something that creates that connection.
And we found it with this band. No, there is no specific gimmick that makes them stand out. No, there is no member that was previously famous from another band trying something new. So what is it? The secret, is the ability to successfully tell stories with music, from the instrumentals, the vocal range, and the lyrics, all working in harmony.
Travis from the post-hardcore band Colorblind is our guest on the Chord Progression Podcast today. With their new EP, Who Sold You This Truth?, released last week, we get you to understand the band even further. Today, we talk about:
- Colorblind going on tour with blessthefall, being the lightest band on the bill, and fitting in perfectly for that role.
- Undsertanding what makes Colorblind a band that can transcend genres with a diverse post-hardcore style, all built off of their songwriting being able to tell stories so perfectly and vividly through sound.
- Writing Who Sold You This Truth, and if there is more to come that just this one EP (hint: the answer is yes).
