Episode 265: Nonpoint

Elias from Nonpoint is on the podcast today. With the band's new Ruthless EP out now, we talk about the EP, how Nonpoint learned to fully adapt in 2021, and how they created their incredible cover of When Doves Cry by Prince. But when we talk about the band creating their own label, Elias goes all in on the decision, how he sees the current artist/label relationship, and why independence is the best for the band.   Find Nonpoint Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nonpointofficial Twitter: https://twitter.com/nonpoint Twitter (Elias): https://twitter.com/EliasBLC44 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nonpointband/ Instagram (Elias): https://www.instagram.com/theeliassoriano/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/NonpointWorld When Doves Cry video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p5tcHOPZX0 Website: https://nonpoint.com Merch: https://nonpointstore.com 361 Degrees Records: https://361degreesrecords.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6BdSOHfQ6kMg0tbAFlXR1z?si=rEbUdeyjSyqlFQfvPjlMUA Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/nonpoint/39213 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/artists/B000X6HRV6/nonpoint?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_4Ijr0wBgMfTCRsgxBujpqGls6   Thank you to our sponsor Custom Debuts: http://fluroes.myshopify.com/discount/CPP10 Use code CPP10 for 10% off your order.   Thank you to our sponsor FNX Fitness: https://fnx.grsm.io/msotdrocks USE CODE "MSOTD" FOR 15% OFF YOUR ENTIRE ORDER!   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chordprogressionpodcast   Twitter: https://twitter.com/cppodofficial   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chordprogressionpodcast/     YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqRKZCDMcFHIYbJaLQMfDbQ   Chord Progression Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/53XWPGrIUvgavKF5Fm6SLk   Chord Progression Podcast (Apple Podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chord-progression/id1454876657   Chord Progression Podcast (Amazon): https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b8dad803-444c-4a73-8aa5-67b4fc43f4ba   Chord Progression Podcast (iHeart Radio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-chord-progression-70632531/   Podcast Webpage: https://mysongoftheday.com/my-song-of-the-day-rock-2000-today/chord-progression-podcast/   Intro: (0:00) Welcome Elias & Adapting in 2021: (4:11) Always Adapting to a Faster & Better Connection with Fans: (9:06) How the "When Doves Cry" cover turned out SO WELL: (14:22) Nonpoint Music on Video Games & THE MOST INTENSE Live Set: (35:00) Being Independent & The Disconnect in the Artist/Label Relationship: (47:37) See Nonpoint in 2022: (1:11:50) Closing It Out: (1:15:50)
