Episode 365: Knelt Before

Mark from the positive hardcore band Knelt Before is with us today. This episode dives deep into why we love the hardcore style, how people ease into the genre over time, and Mark's inspiration for writing the band's debut album, Be Nice, as a conversation between him and his son. The positivity radiates as we talk about change and more acceptance across genres in the music scene from the early 2000's, but also how we still have a ways to go. Stay positive with us on this one.   Find Knelt Before Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083173106100 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kneltbefore/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l6tXn5r5IXPHE4g2of9l0DwX2d6T2HauU Bandcamp: https://kneltbefore.bandcamp.com/album/be-nic Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1Cs67lMO0NpnVYmnwBntn7?si=FlJ-G89xRRC4cRnUz-5zNA Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/knelt-before/1648257833   Thank you to our Sponsor FNX Fitness: Get 20% Off Using Promo Code: CPP20 https://fnx.grsm.io/cpp   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 Mark from Knelt Before: (3:28) Why We Love the Craziness of Live Shows: (5:56) Bringing New People into The Hardcore Scene, including Kids: (11:13) Why Knelt Before Wrote Their Positive Hardcore Record: (22:30) Creating Camaraderie And Not Trying to Forcibly Impress Values on Others: (32:24) Creating More Diversity at Live Shows, Similar to Europe: (41:16) Aging Gracefully in Music, Seeing Change in the Scene: (54:40) Follow Knelt Before Online: (1:02:22) Closing It Out: (1:04:40)
