Episode 260: Rain City Drive

Matt McAndrew of Rain City Drive (formerly Slaves) is on the Chord Progression Podcast today! Matt goes in deep with the name change to Rain City Drive, talking about how he joined the band, how that inspired the final name, and the process the band went through to change the name in great detail. We also discuss Matt's further background in music, the importance of positively standing out, and the new Rain City Drive record likely being released with a lot of singles.
