Episode 293: Palisades

Brandon from Palisades comes on for one great episode of the Chord Progression Podcast. We open talking about Brandon's journey taking over as the band's lead vocalist, and how the band is still tight with their former vocalist Lou. From there we talk about their recent single "Better" in depth around why Brandon wrote the song based off of is inner mental health challenges, and sheds light as to why we might be afraid to ask for help in that moment. We also discuss the band getting back out to live shows, and how they are set to give the positivity back to their fans with both live music and their new album Reaching Hypercritical (out July 22nd, 2022).   Find Palisades Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WeArePalisades Twitter: https://www.facebook.com/WeArePalisades Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wearepalisades/ Instagram (Brandon): https://www.instagram.com/brandonelgar/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/eYnIWDuEzSI Website: https://wearepalisades.com Merch: https://shop.artistarena.com/artists-1/palisades.html Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2xUM3kskk8sMsXqaxDV32R?si=bpDIXdk7TC2A0ML1BnFXXA Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/palisades/167830381   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 Brandon from Palisades: (4:03) Brandon's Journey taking over Lead Vocals: (6:32) The story behind "Better" and Brandon's Motivation for the song: (9:38) Why We Struggle to Ask for Help when We Need It: (14:10) How the Pandemic impacted Brandon Mentally: (21:07) Connecting to the Anthemic Build of "Better": (25:07) Brandon Figuring out the Bridge to "Better": (27:32) Brandon's Most Influential Fan Interaction: (33:04) Previewing Reaching Hypercritical: (39:30) Previewing Live Shows in 2022: (45:12) Don't Miss Palisades in 2022: (50:20) Outro: (54:47)
