Episode 286: Of The Wasteland

Jonathan from Of The Wasteland stopped by for a spot on the Chord Progression Podcast. The member of this Miami band that takes influences from Guns n Roses & My Chemical Romance talks about the early grind the band went on that no one talks about in the music industry, how building confidence in yourself will build quality in your music, why bands should cater live shows to the fan experience, and not pigeon-holing yourself as a band early on. Could you see this band playing arenas in the future, listen and make the call yourself.   Find Of The Wasteland Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OfTheWasteland Twitter: https://twitter.com/ofthewasteland Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ofthewastelandofficial/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiuSsb3u1CjG8K5cjBwyijA Midnight Vampire - Video: https://youtu.be/kEZMrw3W3DU Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6eeYSbAuLaj1x3q8aN1gph?si=xZ-7ZIsoSmKwaN_cfhU5qA Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/of-the-wasteland/1157246478   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/   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.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 Of The Wasteland & Not Taking Live Music for Granted: (4:45) Putting in the Work Early & the Band's Sound: (7:55) Getting Of The Wasteland Discovered In a Live Setting: (14:55) Building Confidence, Building Quality: (22:45) Why Bands Should Play Their Hits Live, for the Fans: (29:26) Avoid Pigeon-Holing Your Band Early On: (40:45) Teasing Of The Wasteland's 2022: (47:37) Closing it Out: (51:00)
