Episode 315: We Struck Gold

We Struck Gold from the United Kingdom is on the Chord Progression Podcast today. The band has released their Feel Nothing EP and we discuss a few thing around its creation and release. We talk about the band's challenges booking live dates following the pandemic, how they are focusing on the quality of their music and live show, and how the EP was created during the pandemic when Omar was stuck in another country for almost a year. Hear how that impacted the lyrical writing of this EP, why Spotify numbers can be a fallacy, and many, many funny stories to get you into this band with some laughs and some great music.   Find We Struck Gold Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/westruckgold Twitter: https://twitter.com/we_struck_gold Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/westruckgolduk/?hl=en Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@westruckgold?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/WeStruckGold Website: https://westruckgold.co.uk Merch: https://westruckgold.co.uk/shop Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4K0XZDwm1TkQkAPgPmIbW1?si=SWFDnubjROSgDH31Sx3YbQ Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/we-struck-gold/1132712845   Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code CPP at https://www.manscaped.com #ad #manscapedpod   We Are Sponsoring WHEN WE WERE HUNGRY FESTIVAL: https://whenwewerehungryfestival.com GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!   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 We Struck Gold & Staying Motivated: (5:57) Challenges Getting to Play Live Post-Pandemic & Releasing the EP: (8:26) Focus to the Music, Refocus to the Socials: (12:05) Equating We Struck Gold to Other High Energy Bands: (20:10) Kevin Getting Beat Up in English Most Pits: (21:08) More Live Stuff We Struck Gold Has On Tap for 2022: (25:42) Drinking in the UK versus the US: (27:38) Feel Nothing EP & Writing It: (33:11) Omar's Mentality Writing Lyrics in Isolation & Other Covid Impacts: (36:19) The Fallacy of Spotify Numbers & Online Promotion: (47:50) Predicting the EP's Impact: (58:50) Describing the Metal Community as a Family: (1:06:15) Music Moves Us, It Defines Movies: (1:13:52) Don't Miss We Struck Gold: (1:19:00) Closing It Out: (1:24:04)
