Episode 280: AFTYN

Guinnevere and Chris from AFTYN are on the Chord Progression Podcast today. The band's 70's folk mixed with alt rock influences style is different from the bands we normally talk with, but this conversation is one of the most important ones that we have had. The conversation is based off of the band's new song "Cool Girl" detailing how women in the music industry are treated differently by some men whether it is someone in management, a venue, or another band. We discuss the experiences that inspired the song, what is possible to make the change we want to see going forward, not othering female fronted bands, and how women being honest in their songwriting is important for everyone to connect with the music in a more personal note.   Find AFTYN Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aftynband Twitter: https://twitter.com/aftynband Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aftynband/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFL0ZA23izHlhOyfBNWbQbQ Website: https://aftynband.wordpress.com Merch: https://logowearhouse.shop/aftyn/shop/home Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/77V9IDJy3gx5fihlu89MbP?si=GlP5U5w5RDe0yEr_jXEWIw Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/aftyn/1464250686   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 AFTYN and their Different Influences: (4:01) Recognizing the Real Life Subject Matter of "Cool Girl": (9:01) Bringing This Conversation to Others: (25:24) Being Openly Expressive in Music to Express True Thoughts & Feelings: (34:49) Check Out AFTYN: (1:02:44) Outro: (1:06:31)
