Episode 324: With The Punches

Shane from the beloved pop punk band With The Punches stops by the Chord Progression Podcast. With the Punches is back after their 9 and a half year "nap" and better than ever. We discuss how the band has always understood social media connection from the start, what all happened during that 9 and a half year break, and the process of creating the inspiring Discontent EP. Plus we dive into the idea that you are able to change your life and go after your passions, regardless of age.   Find With The Punches Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/withthepunches Twitter: https://twitter.com/withthepunches Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withthepunches/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@withthepunches YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNfC8wlJ24g Bandcamp: https://withthepunchesny.bandcamp.com/album/discontent Merch: https://withthepunches.presspressmerch.com/shop/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4USpQ4wWk8VrkCzQiSNb3u?si=ouXa69lVRwSjg4ZNh4rcxg Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/with-the-punches/304076767   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 Shane of With The Punches: (5:52) First Shows back from their Break, Packing the House: (8:56) Always Understanding Social Media Connection: (12:45) Using Music to Inspire Happiness & Change: (17:56) The Story of the 9.5 Year Break: (24:56) Shane's Mosh Pit Stories: (35:17) The Long Creation of the Discontent EP & Its Life Themes: (44:36) Using Music as Mental Time Travel: (52:18) Tracking During the Pandemic: (56:18) The Dynamics of the Discontent EP: (1:00:20) Getting With The Punches Out on the Road: (1:04:12) Shane's Inspiring Closing Remarks: (1:11:34) Closing It Out: (1:17:24)
